Dave and the crew inspected a vehicle that I was interested in purchasing. He cares about the integrity of the company and was very honest about what was found. If we lived in Lombard, they wouldve gained regular customer!

Recently bought my first car and had no clue about car maintenance basics. Dave and Danny patiently answered all of my questions and pointed out relevant information about my car. They gave me helpful tips on how to change a tire, like not putting your foot under the car in case the jack fails and to, at least for me, invest in a better breaker bar. I am so grateful for their professionalism, time and expertise.

My husband and I have serviced our family vehicles with Dave for over 20 years. Last week we added another vehicle to our fleet for our sons. Dave held our hand and provided through inspections of multiple used cars that we were interested in purchasing. Yes we bought one and yes, Dave has already placed new tires on this car! Dave has always listened, has patiently waited, and has always provided outstanding service! His level of experience is hard to find and his prices are reasonable and fair. If Dave says that it needs to be done, believe him and do it! Your car and your family will thank you for it! Will we do business with him again? Well, lets just say that in the next 6 months we need to tune up two cars and install new timing belts and water pumps on them as we roll over more than 100,000 miles on each car. Could we buy new cars? Yes. Do we want to? NO! Thanks to Dave we dont have to! Call Dave, he can fix it! I totally recommend him!

I first heard of Areawide Automotive from a group on Facebook. Everyone was recommending them and I didnt really have an auto repair shop that I went consistently to and could trust so I decided to give them a try. I have brought my car to them a couple of times now and they are great! They are so nice and their prices are very fair! They are an honest repair shop and I would highly recommend them to anyone! :)

Dave has been my mechanic for over 12 years and he has been wonderful every time! He is honest, dependable, and trustworthy. I put my life and my familys lives in his hands with every repair and service. He is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks Dave!

Great honest service. I was told by several other mechanics that I needed a whole new engine, these guys figured out it was a simple cap that was broken. Car was fixed fast and cheap, they even do a free consultation before they start to fix anything. Car has been running great ever since. Will definitely be taking all my future car troubles to these guys!

Dave the owner and his team are awesome. Always do great work and if theres any problems after the work they will be happy to try to re fix which happens like never. Fast, efficient, and friendly. They wont just try to upsell you here. They will only tell and sell you what you need. And they will do it at a fair price too. Most mechanics will charge you an arm and a leg, these guys are fair and real.

Review №29

Honest and Great Service is what I received at Areawide Automotive. I had a coupon for one of those national chain repair shops for a $14.99 oil change. After having my car in the shop for an hour and a half, the manager came out and told me I needed front and rear brakes and about $800.00 dollars of other work and the car wasnt really safe to drive. I felt a little uneasy as he was trying to push all this other work. I told him to just do the oil change as I wanted to get a second opinion on the other stuff. He then became rather rude and told me to have a seat while they put my car back together. I told my father about what this place told me and he suggested I take my car to his mechanic, Dave, at Areawide Automotive and have him inspect it. After the inspection Dave brought me into the shop to show me my vehicle. The brakes were only about 50% worn and he only found a couple of minor things it needed for about $150.00. I learned a valuable lesson. I will now have all my repairs done only at Areawide Automotive. Thanks from Megan.

I had a great experience here. They were very straight forward with me. I needed my brakes done on the cheap and they never once tried to up sell me. They gave me all my options. Full replacement of brakes and rotors, brakes and cutting existing rotors or just a brake pad replacement. Like I said I needed it cheap so I just did the pads and thats exactly what they did. I checked around and the price was certainly fair.I would come here againEdit: I decided to expand on this experience even more. When it came down to the final cost of the pad replacement and i took out my card, to my surprise the final cost was nearly exactly what he quoted. I wanted to also mention the parts were quality not some cheap junk. He also asked if I would like to see the old pads, so I could see for myself that I did in fact need new brakes badly. He also did one other thing that I think is just a cut above. Since I decided on my own not to get the rotors cut, I asked what the drawbacks to that could be? He told me that you could feel a wobble at high speeds, possible squeaking or premature pad wear but he test drove my car when he was finished and he didnt see, hear or feel any of those so i probably didnt NEED to get the cut anyway. I ask you, what mechanic would say this to a customer??????Good honest ones.

Areawide has maintained my familys vehicles years. Dave and his team are second-to-none in customer service. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, earnestly answering any questions that I may have. In addition to expertly handling major repairs, if possible, they wont hesitate to recommend a variety cheaper solutions while clearly explaining what kind of performance I can expect.Areawide is a an absolutely fantastic shop that I trust and is a great pleasure to do business with.

We have used Areawide Automotive now several times, for both of our cars. It is so nice to know that you can trust your Car Mechanic. Dave is such a nice person. He even worked on our car after his normal work hours, because he knew we were going out of town. And his pricing is very fair. We will keep using Areawide Automitive and have recommended them to our family and friends.

Finding an honest and competent mechanic is is one of lifes most daunting tasks. Anyone engaged in this search does not need to look any further than Areawide Automotive.Dave and the gang have been taking care of both our work fleet of vehicles and personal vehicles and we could not be more pleased. When we bring a vehicle in for service we know that we will get an honest diagnosis, a fair price and quality work all done in a timely manner.This gem of a business should be your first stop when your car wont start.

I get flat tires on my riding lawn mower frequently. I called Areawide to see if they could repair them. They told me to come right over and were able to seal the tire well. I have used there services several times and they are always very friendly and pleasant and the tires are always as good as new and can be used when I get home. They have saved me a lot of time and money on repairs and new tires. I would highly recommend them

Talked to them early this morning and was quoted at a pretty fair price for exhaust work and set up a time for the same day. Quote was a little higher than it was over the phone, but for good reason, and the communication and punctuality go miles in my books.

I originally took my car in to the Hyundai dealership where I was given a laundry list of items that had to be replaced for $2550! I called up Dave and gave him the list. His price was $400+ cheap for the items. He suggested I bring it in and have him look at it to see what really needed to be done. Of course, I didnt need all of the items the dealership wanted to do to the vehicle and I ended up saving about $1,200 off the total from what the dealership quoted. I dropped my car off the night before and everything was done and the car was ready to go before I even got off work the following day. Dave and Andrew are great guys and they wont rip you off. I have had no problems with the repairs that were done and my car is running great!

Review №43

My experience was great! I took my wifes 1998 Honda Accord for a catalytic converter after failing emissions. After going to my usual place and getting an estimate of almost $700 I decided to do some price checking. Most just looked at the year, make and model and gave estimate from the computer. The cars catalytic converter was welded in place instead of clamps so Dave at Areawide got the car on the rack and looked over the situation and estimated $300. When I came back to pick up car I was pleasantly surprised and Dave said he didnt have to replace one pipe so it was about $25 less. Since then I have taken my sons car there too. I have another two cars that I will be taking to Areawide for service when they need it. Im a customer now.

We have been going to Areawide Automotive since its beginning. We used to go to Treps where Dave, the owner of Area Wide was previously from. Dave is an honest and reputable mechanic. He has always been up front and told us what needed to be done or if we could wait to have something done. He always tries to fit us in and anytime I had an emergency he has been there for our family. He has never steered us wrong or overcharged us for anything. I reccommend anyone who is looking for a great mechanic to go to him and let him fix your car. It is the only place we go with our cars..

AREAWIDE AUTOMOTIVE is a very rare repair center The Owner Dave is a automotive professional he also listens to the customer before he personally looks at the vehicle and the problem. Dave gives you a fair cost price and how long it will take to complete. Dave and his Team are all automotive professionals but even more important they do the repair right the first time and only replace what needs to be replaced to make the vehicle run and drive as it should.They are not in the business to sell and install parts Dave and his Team care about both the Customer and the vehicle which is very rare Today. I have been a customer for over 6 years I have even brought my John Deere there and they helped me with the problem I was having saving me a few days if I had to had my dealer pick it up or do the repair at my home. If your tired of being ripped off by part changers and being over charged and not having your vehicle because its in some repair yard waiting to be fixed give Dave and his Team at AREAWIDE AUTOMOTIVE a call it doesnt matter if the repair is big or small they will fix it right the first time and at a Honest and Fair Price. Thank you Dave and his Team for being the Fine Outstanding Honest People you are.Randy

My CRV 2006 had a strange noise when I drove it these past couple of days. I kept up with all the maintance on the schedule and didnt know what the heck was wrong with my car. I became scared to drive due to the noise! A few of my friends cars are still in shops due to the Aprl17,18 storm and flooding, so I was very nervious.Anyway, I found this shop online and decided to make a call to check it out on April 24.I talked to Dave and he told me that his shop was packed up untill next Wednesday (May1) and he only can take a test drive and possibly identify the problem. After a 5 minute test drive, Dave confirmed to me that my car was in good shape and only need to remove a corroded piece in the bottom of the transmission. He even did not charge me for service or diagnostic fee!I was so worried before came to his shop and was ready for some serious maintenance/ repair (with cost) and now I feel so relieved.Dave and his team members did a great job with great customer service. Honest, friendly, and courteous. I definitely will use Daves service in the future and recommend his shop.Thank you for all previous comments. They were very useful in me deciding to take my car here.
