Wow. My power steering blew out late on Friday afternoon. Chris's got me in Saturday morning and it was fixed by 11am. I was expecting to need a car rental for a couple of days so they saved me a couple of hundred dollars. He came to give me a lift back to the shop to boot! Phenomenal service.

We took our work van here to have it looked at because there was a loud screeching noise coming from the front driver side tire almost sounded like nails on a chalkboard while we were driving and we couldn t figure out what it was as we had already had the brakes and rotors changed on it. Chris took a look at it even drove it around and said nothing was wrong. Charged us $30 dollars for that and we were convinced that this man knew what he was doing . 1 hour later, going 70 miles an hour down the highway heading back to our home city the wheel bearing and spindle break off and thank god for giving my husband the patience and intelligence of knowing how to steer it into safety while me and my daughter were screaming in complete fear. Even the town truck guy said he doesn t know how the van didn t flip and why in the world the mechanic didn t notice the wheel bearings broken. What would have only cost us $30 in parts is now costing us thousands between the tow truck and the excessive damage that was done when everything broke off while driving. This situation could have ended very badly All, because a mechanic that we trusted to have the knowledge to look at our vehicle to tell us if anything was wrong with it in order to keep us safe during our trip home (and he knew how far away from home we were) Didn t have a clue as to what he was talking about . I thank God that we are alive and able to even write this review, I just feel like people should know what they re talking about before you just send a customer away in a death trap.

Chris and his team provide great customer service and fix only what's needed. Chris walks you through options and give the necessary information to get your problem fixed and back on the road. They've worked on my truck multiple times now and I won't go anywhere else.

What an incredible experience at the shop for my old van! The level of hometown hospitality was heartwarming; they treated me like family! Not only did they quickly fix the problem, but they also took the time to thoroughly explain the issue with easy-to-understand examples. The cost was surprisingly great, and they never tried to oversell. Their professionalism was top-notch, making me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I can't sing their praises enough a perfect blend of expertise and genuine care. This shop is an absolute standout, and I'm thrilled to have found them! Highly recommended!

Needed new wheel bearings on my focus. I called around and got quotes for 600-700$ for new wheel bearing pressed in. I called Chris West Side Auto Service and was told I could get all new drums, hubs and bearings, and it would be easier for them and less costly for me. I was quoted 475$ for all of this, so I dropped my car off pretty late in the morning and it was done by the early afternoon. When I went to pick it up it had shiny new drums on the back and no more road noise on the highway. He even got me out the door for 25$ less than I was quoted. Would recommend to anyone.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Chris and his team are the only place in town I will take my vehicles. 3 generations of my family do as well. Great, honest, professional, family oriented, and hard working people. They keep all of my family's vehicles running, safe, and in top condition. You can't put a price on that. We feel like family here. We won't ever go anywhere else.

I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. I ve never had a better experience taking my car in before. They were so incredibly kind and patient. They brought me into the shop and pointed out what was wrong and explained everything to me in a way my 25 year old girl brain would understand. They didn t over charge me and did a few extra things I didn t ask for to ensure my car was working properly. I will definitely be taking my car to them again for any problems in the future. I couldn t recommend them enough!!!

Caring, accurate, and helpful! This family business blew me away with the regular care for my truck and other little things that came up that I was unsure about. I am beyond grateful for everyone at Chris' West Side Auto Service! I highly recommend.

They have a customer for life. My Acadia sat not running for almost 2 years and they fixed what we thought was unfixable for a reasonable price and communicated throughout the process so well. It drives like a dream. I will never go to anyone else! They really seemed to care that they got this mama of 4 back and on the road! Even did some extras!

Needed an oil change on my 2000 Corvette, early in the morning while on the road home to Indianapolis. They open at 7AM, earlier than just about anyone in town, just what I needed. Chris and the boys at his West Side Auto Service did it quick, efficiently and sent me on my way with a job well done! They also serviced my A.C. and it went from kinda cool to blowin' COLD! Thanks Chris' West Side Auto Service!!!!!Services: Air conditioning, Oil change

Had the fuel pump mess up in my car. They got us in right away, quickly got the tank dropped, and then called to tell me what was wrong and what would need to be done. They were completely transparent on everything and were cheaper than the other shops I contacted. Agreed on the price and they immediately went to work getting it fixed in no time at all. This is the shop I'll be going to when I get my ac compressor replaced. Thoroughly impressed with this shop.

I was very impressed with the quality of the work performed by Chris, Chris, and his crew. I called them at the last minute with a problem with my 2015 GMC Terrain and they fit me in right away, fixed the problem, and had me on my way in about 2 hours. They treated me with respect and were very courteous and helpful. Their waiting area is welcoming and comfortable, unlike any automotive shop I have ever seen. The entire crew is knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this business to anyone who has doubts about the automotive shop that they are currently using. These guys are amazing and I don't say that very often about mechanics! I was extremely impressed with Chris's West Side Automotive! Check them out!

I have been going to Chris s for about 4 years now and have had an outstanding experience every single time. The team is very professional, have always addressed my issue and most importantly very personable. Have never had an issue repeat after their service. The aspect that really impressed me the most is their genuine care for your auto requests. Once I had a problem with my Girfriend s car in Austin and did not know how to proceed. Reached out to Chris and he hooked me up with the right people and the issue was well taken care of. I would highly recommend them for any Auto issues and hope they keep up the good work .Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Chris and his son are the absolute best. Friendly, very inexpensive, and they kept me informed and got my Jeep back to me quickly. I just really appreciated them both. I m a single woman and was very worried about cost and time without vehicle. Wow. No worries here.

New brakes done on time, car stops so I assume they installed them correctly! They came in below the quote, which i thought was reasonable to begin with. Nice folks!Addendum: shortly after the brake job, I started hearing an odd sound and the car vibrated when braking/turning. I called Chris, and they got me back in right away and fixed the issue without charge!My 2005 Equinox later needed some major work--I want to say it needed a transfer case? or something like that. Chris went out of his way to obtain the part(s) needed--had to use salvage parts, but he made sure to get the assembly with the lowest miles. The work was done quickly and I never had a single problem with the car again until I finally sold it in 2022.I just can't say enough great things about Chris'!Service: Brakes

By far the best mechanic I have gone too! We are from Indy and our car completely gave out on us while we were in Evansville visiting. He got us taken care of super early in the morning plus he helped us find a trustworthy tow service. I wouldn t not hesitate to take my car to him again for repair. Chris got us ready to roll in the road within a couple of hours.

Wonderful experience, everyone made me feel like I've been coming there for years.As I'm driving to St. Louis, I realized that I needed an oil change and some brake pads. Stopped in Evansville, IN. I just happened upon this business.I'm sooo glad I did. NEVER did I feel any red flags going up.I was TRULY SATISFIED with the attention to detail done on my car, including the price. I HIGHLY recommend these guys.Thanks Guys. DuWayne

Chris and his team were amazing when my daughters truck broke down on a cross country trip. They made sure the truck was looked at and when it was determined that it was not repairable short of a new engine they kept it safe for us in their yard until a transporter could be arranged. Amazing service for someone in a bind and I highly recommend them for any repairs you need!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

I can't say enough about the work these guys do! After trying to find an honest and trustworthy shop (with several fails) someone recommended Chris' and I'm so grateful. They always give me every detail about what needs to be done and then always show me what parts they replaced and how bad they were when I go pick up my car. After all of the complaining I've done over the past years about other shops, I'm just relieved that I've finally found my go-to. From start to finish they communicate and offer the best customer service. Thank you guys so much!

Chris and family have been the best. I have a PhD, but know nothing about cars. I am sure I have paid for turn signal fluid! He is honest, reliable, and reasonable. I refer him to everyone possible. He was a friend to my husband, who has had Alzheimer s for almost 10 years. Kind, compassionate, reasonable care. I don t know what I would do without him.
