Great service. It's nice to have my alternator rebuilt right here by people who know what they are doing. No Chinese rebuilds here. Fast turn around, too. Don't bother getting a rebuilt one at an auto parts store. You never know the quality of the rebuild. Same cost here at Mars as at an auto parts store, possibly even cheaper.Highly recommended!

Very good starter rebuilds never have issues recommending them.Although they only do 12v, I had a very mad customer once because I sent them there to have a 120vac motor rebuild. But that's on me, it was my fault.

Waiting for my alternator to come in now I m very well priced and for any local business owners they do pick up and deliver one of the best Starter And Alternator Rebuilds I ve ever come across in Illinois and I ve been following them for over 10 years my first time using

These guys, John and Mike, are beyond amazing and quite frankly, one of the brightest breaths of fresh air I've come across when working with an honest and professional services in a long long time. I had a starter from my 1928 Dodge that had some issues. My mechanic was working on the carburetor and thought he was doing me a favor buy sending the starter to another company they used without my input. WRONG! They not only didn't know how to fix it, but they broke my 95 year old aluminum end plate into pieces. I knew about MARS so I put the pieces in a box and drove to DeKalb to see if they could save it. My 14 year old son was devastated. Not only were they able to fix it, the price was beyond fair and their speed in repairing it was crazy fast. I actually got a call in less than 24 hours with it working, a starter where parts can't be found. He also found a machinist to rebuild me the broken part for another fair price. You just can't find service like this in today's world. I can't give enough stars or thanks. I will never go to another place when I need my electronic services and repairs again. Mars is the place. No question. No doubt. I'm just thrilled and my son's future car is back on the road soon.Jim Gibson

They are the best, professional, courteous alternator upgrade shop I know of. They did an awesome job for my Ford Focus back in the day when I had the luxury of being employed by USA layered employment in Illinois

Fixed my alternator right away, and gave me some tips and pointers on other issues to look at. Which I did, and found and fixed. Hopefully this will be a lasting repair. )

We use them at my job. They've been around forever, used to be in Downers Grove. Very friendly, always do excellent work, with quick turnaround on rebuilds. Fast delivery too. It's unfortunate that the cheapo chain auto parts stores have put so many starter and alternator shops out of business, fortunately we still have M.A.R.S.

Been doing business here for over 20 years. Old school service. Old school integrity. One of the last of the Mohicans. Thumbs up for Mars.

My alternator on my 2012 Mazda 6 went out and I got it rebuilt here today. Then another piece got locked up so they just put new barring on it. It was really cheap for everything. I wish I had known about this place for awhile but my friend who is fixing my car told me about this place. WAY cheaper then auto shop. Will recommend for my friends and family. Thanks!

Best place in Illinois to get alternator or starters rebuilt. They do it right the first time so you re not stuck removing parts to replace them a second or third time.

So there I am on my way to work just left the house and a grinding noise started to come from underneath the hood thinking it was the alternator I stopped in at Mars to have them check it out for me and as soon as the gentleman who came out to take a look at it points out it's not even the alternator it's the bearings in the belt tensioner pulley so he gives me his tools I take the belt off take the tensioner pulley off and he replaces the bearing for five bucks I am so glad I thought it was the alternator but it was not because of the help of this gentleman. I wouldn't have made it to work on time thank you sir
