We have taken all of our cars (3) to Lincoln Square Service Station and WOW!! Great customer service and the most important thing is the honesty that these guys have. They love to work on cars and they do a great job. Thank you so much for your service Carmelo and Jonathan for always looking out for us. God bless you and your family.

When I woke up in the morning and discovered I had a flat tire and no spare and no tools. I drove across the street and was able to get my vehicle back the same day! The price was fair, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Would recommend.

I had the same experience as the previous commentor. I had one break light out. And I know 100% sure it was one break light because the day before I had gotten pulled over by the cops and they told me it was only one light. But when I go there, the dad charges me for two light replacements. Even his son saw it was one light that was out, because I asked him to check it for me while I pressed on my breaks. But his dad overcharged me for two break lights.

Can t recommend enough - I know nothing about cars, asked a million questions, and could have easily been taken advantage of but everyone was so patient and kind, and explained everything to me. Brought my car in at 8am on a monday morning because my heat wasn t working and to get an oil change - called me by 2 to explain everything and i picked up my car by 430!!!So amazing, won t be going anywhere else!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Oil change

Was told it would cost 150 to replace 1 headlight bulb and 1 brake light bulb because it would take 2 hours to finish the job. Luckily I knew that changing bulbs doesn t actually take that much time so I walked out. Went to Ashland Tire was charged 23 dollars and it took less than 30 minutes. Needless to say this place tried to overcharge me.

Kind and knowledgeable staff. I grew up holding the flashlight for my dad and eventually doing my own auto work. Without a garage of my own, I had to scour the lands for a mechanic that was nearby, reliable, and reasonably priced. Lincoln Square Service is what I found.I've had different vehicles serviced here on multiple occasions. 10/10 would recommend.

Carmelo did a great job diagnosing what was wrong with my brakes and AC! His son, Jonathan, who works the front desk is always super friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices and speedy turnaround! If you re in the area, this is the place to get your car fixed!Services: Brakes, Air conditioningServices: Brakes, Air conditioning

Carmelo is professional, helpful, responsive, and also a really nice guy. My car had a really difficult to diagnose electrical issue and the team here went above and beyond. The communication was excellent, the pricing more than fair and very transparent the whole way. I really felt I can trust getting my car worked on here and will keep coming back, thanks y'all!Service: General repairs & maintenance

First time at Lincoln Square Service and I will definitely be back. Carmelo was a pleasure to work with and very fair. I had an issue with my brakes squeaking and so I assumed they needed to be changed. Carmelo could have taken advantage of the situation and changed them out but instead explained they had plenty more miles left and saved me from spending a bunch of money I didn't need to spend. I will definitely be going back!

Carmelo and his family business are fantastic. I've been taking my cars there for some time. I now live an additional 15 miles away but I still drive to Carmelo.

I first tried this place years ago based on the shining reviews. It s the only place I take my car even though it s a 40-min drive up. Carmelo will let you know what needs to get done to your vehicle and what can wait until next service. He s a man of integrity and honesty, and that s rare to find.

Been here a few times. I think the service here is good and they are friendly enough. My one complaint is that I told them specifically not to do anything extra without checking with me first since I didn t want to pay anything extra. I then get the bill with a small fee for windshield washer fluid. First of all I paid for the full service with oil change and tire rotation so why charge for this. Second I never got a call about anything that would cost an extra fee and I had washer fluid at home already. I had topped it off fairly recently so they couldn t have added much. The cost wasn t too much but it is the principle of the whole situation. Will probably try another local shop next time and see how things go...

We brought our car here for the first time to have the suspension checked on our 11 year old Buick, and I was very impressed with their service and honesty.A few months ago, I had taken the car to a national chain auto repair place for a brake job and oil change (C---X), and this other place told me it also needed all new front and rear shocks and struts, and estimated $1,900 parts and labor (???!!!)So glad we took it to Lincoln Square Service for another opinion! The car had been riding a little bouncy, and we heard some squeeking in the steering. LSA found nothing wrong with our shocks and struts, but kept it another day to check the rack and pinion steering too.They told us they couldn't find anything wrong, the car is perfectly safe to drive. And they didn't even charge us anything for their time! They even called us before closing on a Friday afternoon to pick it up, as they are closed weekends and didn't want us to be stranded without our wheels. Very considerate!* NOTE: their business hours listed on Google Maps are incorrect, they are actually open weekdays 8am-5pm, closed Saturday and Sunday. But they were nice enough to leave our car accessible in the lot to pick up after hours with our extra key.Overall, very impressed, and we'll be using them for all future repairs and maintenance.

I took my car in after battery kept slowly dying. After a day and some detective work, they discovered my trunk latch was loose, causing the light to stay on. He gave me a price to fix the latch or told me he could remove the bulb. I chose the bulb.I liked him so much I had him replace all four brake pads for much less than the dealer charges me. Everything went fast and smooth there. He's now my mechanic of choice.

Amazing service. Hard to find a mechanic like this nowadays. Repaired our old Subaru quickly and for much cheaper than anyone else. This is the only place I will take my car. Very honest and fair.
