Eric is such a blessing. He s a honest mechanic and goes far and beyond to find the problem with your car. He paid it forward to me today and I m definitely going to return the favor. Good people and a great mechanic is hard to come by he definitely will get the job done.

Nice guys. But, I paid 1600 for a ball joint and transmission flush. And after all that, I still hear a rattle sound when it hits bumps and the trans still drops in rpm all of a sudden sometimes. I should have left it alone.

Just used them for the first time. I bought an 05 Mustang Convertible GT V8 5 speed with 28K original miles. I had them put on Flowmaster Outlaw pipes and an AIRRAID cold air intake. I bought the parts and they installed. They also went over the car with a finely toothed comb. I was happy to hear Eric say it the best conditioned 18 year old mustang he s ever had the pleasure of working on. He said there were no leaks, no rust and just in perfect condition. His only recommendation was something that their shop doesn t sell .Buy new tires. LOL. The tires on the car are from 10/2005.I was very happy with them, their pricing and their honesty. They have a customer in me for life.Ron J

Eric installed the leveling shocks for my truck which turned out great. Incredibly happy with the promptness when looking for a quote as well as the price quoted. Y'all will definitely be our go to shop moving forward. Thanks again!Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

Good locally owned mechanic shop that does repairs in a timely and cost efficient manner. Would use them again if I had a repair in the future.

I'm so glad I finally found a place that I can trust to repair my car!!!These guys are honest, they willLet you know exactly what the problem is, they go above and over with their service. After leaving thereLast Saturday, I left with confidence knowing that I can let my son, his wife and my grandson use my car while they are visiting from Denmark, they did a great job on my car, and I will trust no one else to do work on my car. I will recommend My Brothers mechanic to everyone!!! The run their business/service on integrity, honesty, great customer service, great car service, and their prices are fair!!! Give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

Best mechanic ever! Very friendly and down to earth with more than reasonable prices.A few months back, I brought my 2003 Ford Crown Vic in after being told my a/c compressor was bad by another shop without and explanation as to why it was causing my car to overheat. They wanted to charge me $1400!These guys didn t even charge me to look at my car and found the real problem immediately (my cooling fan and leaking radiator hose) and the cost was much lower with very quick repair time! Turns out I was being scammed by the other shop.If you re even reasonably close to here, I strongly recommend you take all your car repair needs here. These guys couldn t be any nicer and more upfront and honest about what your car needs. Combine that with never charging a dime to look at your car, and I ll never take my car anywhere else!

Great place to take your car! Better than any mechanic I've taken my car to so far! They offer free safety checks and will give you an in depth report on your car. The thing I love is how dedicated they are and how they take their time with your car to ensure that you are in good hands!

It's hard to find a mechanic let alone a business now a days that'll give you an honest opinion and won't rip you off. I found My Brothers Mechanic simply because it was a couple miles from my work and Yelp recommended it to me. Best decision I've ever made. The place is run by two brothers and their sweet dogs. I had ripped my front bumper off on both sides and it was hanging on for dear life. I towed it to them and one of the brothers told me he would take a look at it and let me know what the damage was and how much it would cost. I went to work and got a call couple hours later telling me he was able to put a few new clips in and that the bumper would be fine! I thanked them for the quick service and asked him how much it would cost and he said don't worry about it!!!! I was dumbfounded and didn't understand and insisted I pay but he said it really didn't require much effort. I'm not saying to expect things to get done for free but definitely expect honesty and fairness. I will only be taking my car to them from now on they have my loyalty and appreciation! Great, nice, hardworking people and they are very knowledgeable and do good work!

Very knowledgable, honest, and professional. This is the second time I have bought my car to them and both times I was very pleased with the results. They are also very reasonable with their prices. Recently, Eric fixed the sliding door on my Honda minivan in 5 minutes by cleaning and lubricating the latch. No charge. Complimentary. Honda wanted to replace it for $900.00! I'll be bringing my cars to My Brothers Mechanic. I highly recommend them.

MBM is the only auto repair business I've ever experienced that will always give you an educated, honest, transparent, and timely diagnosis of whatever issue(s) your vehicle is experiencing. No need to ever 2nd guess whether the professional recommendation(s) you get from MBM are accurate and given with the customers best interest in mind.It's so refreshing to know auto repair shops like MBM still exist in today's auto service industry where the customer is often taken advantage of due to a lack of knowledge / experience / awareness, unnecessary sales pressure, misinformation, misdiagnosis, false sense of urgency, etc. I'm so grateful to know that I can take my personal vehicle(s) to MBM whenever I need a safety or fluid leak inspection and/or a thorough diagnosis of an issue.Eric is an incredible ASE certified mechanic who not only has the knowledge and experience you desire in an auto mechanic, but he also has the heart of a teacher to help you understand each issue and what specifically needs to be done to resolve each one. Eric does an amazing job of sharing the right amount of post-inspection info so that you are empowered to make the right decision for your vehicle and current financial situation.MBM is an awesome, two-brother team who is always ready to meet their customer's needs.

I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a trusted mechanic to look no further than Eric over at My Brother's Mechanic. My car was overheating so I took it into Eric on the recommendation of a friend. Eric troubleshooted my car and got back to me with a very reasonable quote.I was very impressed with his knowledge and expertise. I feel extremely confident in telling all my friends and family about this shop and I never again have to worry about being screwed over by a big name auto repair shop. Thanks, Eric.

I have never had such fast, honest, and fair prices or service from a mechanic. I chose this shop based off these reviews so it's only fair that I leave one, too. Car trouble can be frustrating but now that I found Eric, it makes me feel a lot better to know I have someone I can trust to give me an honest opinion and quote. Thank you got helping me get my car back the same day!

I was put in touch with this shop through a work contact. I was happy to arrive and be given straight talk about what needed to be done. Eric is very professional and amiable. As a business owner myself who focuses his practice on honesty, their commitment towards customer service even when honest advice might lead to the loss of short term profit shines through.I trusted him wholeheartedly to review the repeated recommendations of less scrupulous mechanics so that he could tell me what I truly need. It's hard to find honest businesses and I am happy to have found this one.

I live in Naperville and would rather travel 30 minutes to this shop than go anywhere else nearby. They are honest, which is so important to me, and they do amazing quality work in a timely fashion. I have been to so many other places in the past that will take advantage of the fact that I don t understand car mechanics and overcharge me. Eric always tells me like it is. I ve even brought an estimate from a different shop just to compare the difference for myself and it is insane how much better the prices are at My Brother s Mechanic! I will be a life-long customer! Thanks to Eric for always making sure my car is safe to drive!

Amazing service! I have been to Eric multiple times and he is always extremely honest and helpful. He has always given me the best prices and is always quick with repairs. I would definitely recommend Grease Monkies to anyone looking for a reliable and honest mechanic. I've told a couple of friends about them and they were extremely happy with their service also. I am so glad I do not have to shop around for a mechanic anymore and will continue to use Grease Monkies from now on. Thanks again Grease Monkies!

Eric was great to work with. Once I got my car to him he diagnosed the problem and provided an estimate to fix the problem. His solution solved the problem and saved me thousands from what the dealership would have charged me. He completed the work quickly and my car is back to running like a champ. 11/10 would recommend.Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil changeServices: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

Moving here from Florida over 9 years ago, not having any knowledge of where to take our cars for service, we found only horrible mechanics. I stumbled upon "Greasemonkies" on google and only read great reviews. We have been loyal customers of the now, My Brother's Mechanic, for years. We don't trust anyone else with our cars. My parents moved up here from Florida and they are now customers of this business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for honesty and great work!

The absolute BEST mechanic I have ever had! They are reliable, trustworthy, honest, skilled, professional, reasonably priced and courteous. I have taken my 2007 car in for A/C problems (converter, condenser and belt) and power steering flush and fill. I m referring everyone to them, because they are the type of mechanics everyone is looking for!

I can't say enough positive things about My Brother's Mechanic. I recently had car trouble that unexpectedly took out the engine on my car. After Eric meticulously researched my options for me, he provided an honest recommendation that I should just cut my losses on the car instead of spending the money to repair it (which would have been a big job for him). He was looking out for me and what was in my best interest financially, instead of trying to make a sale. He even helped guide me in the right direction to take the next steps to get it all taken care of. Without hesitation, I would return to this shop for any and all mechanical needs. They're honest, extremely friendly and accommodating.

Me and the wife are expecting our first child and buying a new car is out of the question. So we try to get as much mileage as we can from our older vehicle. Recently the air bag light came on and we we're worried that it would cost an arm. I looked up local shops and My Brother's Mechanic came up. Eric was super friendly, great at explaining highly technical issues to non-tech dummies like myself, performed excellent work for a very fair price. They are now my family's mechanic and should be yours as well.

I made an appointment for a quote on spark plug replacement. In addition to the estimate I asked to check for a noise in the suspension. I met Eric at my scheduled appointment time and he put my car on the lift to evaluate the chassis. He had me take a look with him to talk through his "diagnosis" and concluded everything was fine.After providing the estimate for spark plugs, I asked what I owed for the inspection. Eric said there is no charge. My Toyota dealer I normally visit would have charged me at least $60 for a diagnostic fee. I highly recommend Grease Monkies for their professionalism and approach to solving owners' concerns. I will be back to Grease Monkies for future work and maintenance on my Toyota.

Finally, an honest auto technician! Eric fixed my car at a fair price. He gave my car a safety check and then gave me detailed information about the results. I had another issue and returned for him to look at the problem and he helped me immediately. Go see Grease Monkies Auto Repair, talk with Eric and I'm willing to bet you'll start doing business with him too!

I came to Eric with a few problems I was having on my Chevy Trailblazer (128K miles) and right away he got to work to figure out the best course of action. His inspection put me at ease knowing that the truck is generally in good shape, and he found a nail in one of my tires and got it patched up. The main problem was a bad fuel pump, which was leaking gas and made for hard startup conditions, and it isn't a cheap thing to fix. He called around and got the best price for a quality GM part and got me back on the road by the afternoon.I'll be due for a brake job pretty soon and I'm definitely coming back to Grease Monkies.
