When my car threw a temper tantrum over a shot throttle body, I m so lucky it decided to give up right by George s! Khadir was SO nice and they had everything fixed up in a day. My partner and I have been trying to find a mechanic we can trust and will definitely return to George s if we have any more issues.

I ve taken my car into George s quite a few times over the last few years and they always do excellent work. Great service, quick turnaround on the repairs and always done at a very fair price. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Khadir went above and beyond. He took an interest in my project and worked with me through the process. It looks like a brand new truck that exceeds expectations. Not only was he a man of his word and quoted a fair price, but he's also looked out for me with things beyond his shop and future needs. Very happy I found him as my go-to mechanic and hype man.Services: Exhaust, Painting, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Body & Trim

I have taken my car to George's several times now and have had nothing but the best experiences. Khadir and the team are incredibly helpful and get the job done well and fast! I recently had my catalytic converter stolen and George's help me work with insurance and get it fixed quickly. I'm so glad to have such a reliable and affordable shop so close to home! I highly recommend making George's your go-to auto shop!!Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance

This is the best auto shop that I ve ever been to in all my years of having service done on my cars. They are a pleasure to deal with and do whatever they need to do to take care of you. Always quick service at the best prices around. I d 100% recommend this shop for any of your automotive needs. Khadir and his team are the best.

I highly recommend George's for auto repair. Khadir was very fast with the work, both times completing the job in the same day, and charged a very reasonable price that was much lower than other shops in the area. George's is a reputable and fair shop! Thanks Khadir!

I've been bringing my cars here for 4 years now (formerly a Civic, currently a Prius) and every time is such a pleasant experience, which is not something you typically expect when bringing your car into a mechanic! The owner, Kadir is such an angel and is always honest and fair.I know there's a stereotype of going to the mechanic alone as a woman but there's nothing to fear here. I've brought my car in when I was overreacting and thought it was making a noise. Turns out it was nothing, and Kadir explained that to me as well as what upcoming maintenance I might need in the future. He's never pushy and doesn't try to upsell you.I can't say it enough, come here! There's a reason they have nearly 5 stars and have been around as long as they have. As long as I live in Chicago, I'll bring my car to George's.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake repair, Auto tire replacement, Oil change

I highly recommend George's. Khadir and his team do amazing work for excellent prices. I went to them for body work because of damage to my trunk as well as brake pad/rotor replacements; his team completed the work in just a couple of days and took care of the smallest details.Services: Auto body & trim repair, BrakesServices: Auto body & trim repair, Brakes

Couldn t ask for a better experience. I received a very reasonable quote, the turn around was extremely fast, and they saved me from a lot of unnecessary expenses.Will be recommending George s to everyone I know.

I second C Laurent's review, Khadir is the only guy I trust with my car repairs. Started out with an oil change last summer, then a second oil change, and today I had my axyl replaced, pretty much needed a new front suspension. New front right axyl, front struts, and stabilizer links on both sides, lifetime warranty plus a little oil - all for $1200. It drives like new, and I feel very confident I'll be going back for my rear suspension. Very dependable, and lets you know everything. Quality job.

Khadir is one of a kind. I've brought my car to him multiple times for various repairs and he's always happy to help. George's automotive repair shop provides a comfortable and pleasant experience, which is rare in my auto care experiences. They have always worked quickly, commuicated issues/repairs well, and their prices are fair! Highly recommend :)

Came here for a spark plug replacement. Khadir was beyond fair on the price and had me out of there in 25 minutes. Safe to say I'll be back for future repairs when needed. Definitely would recommend!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Went in to get an oil change, Khardir took the time to get to know me and my car and help identify some issues and diagnosis some problems I had a feeling about. He had my fluids topped off and even rotated my tires since my front tires were pretty worn out.I prefer the service here to big names because they take every new client personally and that is the type of relationship you want with someone who is helping you keep your car running. Will be back again post-holiday to start fixing problem areas and prolong my Jeep.

Had a great service experience and will continue to get oil changes and routine maintenance done at George's! Great price for a synthetic oil change on my Infiniti QX50, they topped off all the fluids and I was back on the road in less than an hour! Employees were friendly, the waiting area was clean and I got to see a gorgeous '81 Vette in the middle of a restoration. Go to George's!!

I took my car to George s and Khadir was amazing. He changed my blinker light for free and fixed what was wrong with my car very quickly. The prices were also very good! As a young woman who doesn t know anything about cars I always worry about getting ripped off at shops but this was not the case. He was super helpful and explained everything to me so I understood. He even noticed a rip in my tire and made sure I knew that it needed to be fixed (very thankful that he noticed because I was about to go on a 4 hour road trip without knowing I had a rip in my tire). I will definitely be bringing my car back whenever I need anything done! If you are looking for a good trustworthy place to bring your car this is definitely it!

Khadir took good care of my car. The service at George's Automotive Repair is not only done with quality and care, the prices are phenomenal. I would suggest taking your vehicle here. You will not be disappointed. There prices beat out everyone in my area, especially Firestone. I am very Happy.Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnosticServices: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

My usual auto repair shop wanted to replace a whole axle for a transmission fluid leak. I'd had a very expensive misdiagnosis from them before, so I decided to get a second opinion. I took my car here and the issue turned out to be a damaged seal. They saved me a lot of money and earned a new customer!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

I took my car to George Auto Repair to have my breaks looked at and fixed. I was informed I was going to need more work done than I expect. I am not a mechanic so I trust what they explained I needed to have fix on my vehicle. I explained to the mechanic who was assisting me I will have to bring the car back during the week due to scheduling issues. He informed me not to drive the care due to the breaks not being in good shape, so I did just that. I drove the car home and parked it. I was on my way to take the car back to the shop to be worked on when I notices the tire screws where not properly screwed in (picture attached). George Auto Repair was the last place I took my car and the last place who took all 4 tires off to look at the breaks, I would have driven the vehicle with the possibility of the tire coming off as I would have had to drive on the highway. I took my vehicle to another shop down the street from my house and they also said it would have been UNSAFE for me to drive the car that far due to ALL 4 TIRES NOT PROPERLY being screwed in. I will never take any vehicle back to George's Auto Repair.

First time going here & honestly it was such an ease. I went here right after new years , my car needed a new wheel bearing for my Infiniti & it was honestly one of the cheapest cost ive ever spent. My car isn t the cheapest to fix when it comes to repairs so to hear the cost , it was honestly a weight of my chest. I m going back to get some stuff done again. So if you re looking for a fair & honest price , this is . Honestly. Plus he s super sweet & respectful.Service: Steering & suspension repair

I ve been to George s Automotive a couple of times now. Not only is this a local gem, but the mechanics at the shop are thorough, professional, always explain exactly what they re doing and get the job done efficiently. I ve gotten my breaks and rotors changed here as well as the basics such as an oil change and each time they go above and beyond! I love supporting a local business as well as having all my car repairs and needs done at a fair price! Would highly recommend them over anyone in the are!

My car was involved in a hit and run with alignment and body damage =(. I brought it to George's Auto Repair and it was definitely the best decision! The moment I came in, Khadir was very welcoming, polite, and professional. He was familiar with the whole insurance process and I felt like my car was in good hands the whole time. I definitely saved money bringing my car to him versus any other shop. While I was waiting, he was also giving my father updates on the car so I knew when to expect it. And when I got my car back, it looks like it was never even in an accident! Drove to and from work, cruised on the expressway, etc. No internal problems whatsoever. I definitely recommend this shop for its excellent work and professionalism!

Brought my ancient little honda civic in to check on an issue, including a rattle that was getting embarrassingly loud. In the process of looking into it, Khadir found that I was practically running on no oil (I know I burn through oil and try to check it regularly and add more as needed, but fell behind lately), found the reason for the rattle, and quoted me for the parts and labor on the original issue. Unfortunately my dad is the owner of the car so I had to clear it with him before proceeding with repairs, and of course he was stubborn and wanted to handle it himself. I felt like a jerk for wasting Khadir's time to take a look at the issue and draw up the quote but then not move forward with the repair, but he was very understanding and didn't push it or make me feel bad. We went ahead with the oil change and he fixed the rattle free of charge. Really kind, understanding, generous guy to work with. Will definitely be back.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

I ve come here a few times now to get both minor and major fixes on my car, and Khadir has taken such great care of me and my vehicle. I ve tried some other mechanics in the neighborhood, and George s is by far my favorite both in price and communication. Khadir always explains to me exactly what he found wrong, gives me an honest price, and asks if I want to move forward with fixing it. As a young woman, I truly appreciate Khadir and his team and have always felt safe and respected by them. Do not hesitate to bring your car in here!

Catalytic converter stolen. Khadir was friendly but honestly I don t trust him fully but I needed my car fixed asap. I had money from insurance so I just decided to use them anyway. They fixed it, conveniently accepting the exact amount of my insurance. If you re a woman or not confident in your knowledge of cars I wouldn t use this place. Not horrible but fishy.

Khadir did such a fantastic job repairing my brakes. Feels like a brand new car. Service was great- he explained what he would be doing thoroughly and why he was doing it, and also did it super fast! He was very personable and had us go on a test drive to make sure I was satisfied. Will be back for sure! Highly recommend!!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

I've taken my car for a few different repairs at George's and have had good experiences each time. They usually take the time to show me the issues with the car, explain what they are doing on it, and don't try to sell me on things I don't need. They seem well-priced, and do quality work.

As a women, going to the mechanic can be intimidating. Khadir knows his stuff. He made me feel comfortable and gave me a great price on the job he did ( I know this because I called around after he gave me his price for the job ). He fixed my baby in a couple days. My car is running smooth and thanks me. If you are unsure of where to go to get great quality work done, this is the spot.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes
