Cermak Auto Care is still at the top pf my list for Auto Repairs and oil changes. I'm super fotunate to still have my Mazda 2012, alive and going strong. I have thought about trading it in for a newer but definitely used model. I'm really a stubborn penny pincher so I'm putting that off as long as possible.
For now, Cermak auto is a value to me and im in and out. Super time efficient and they communicate well if I ever have to leave it. It's a great car repair shop. I highly recommend if you are searching for a shop to take care of your auto. The guys are very honest and down to earth.

Wow thank you so much Claudia. I really appreciate the time you took to leave this review. Thank you!
Jan 21, 2023Previous reviewMy car was making a vibrating sound when I accelerated. I had it towed to Cermak Auto and they quickly found the problem and fixed it. It was a transmission mount. I had my car the next day! I appreciate the guys at Cermak Auto! Fast, honest and reasonably priced. Cars are so expensive right now, even a used car is expensive. You need a good go to mechanic. Thank you!
Jan 12, 2020Previous reviewIn December right after we started our "Winter Break" at school my car broke down. It had been making funny noises and I googled what I thought it might be. I assumed it was the brakes or something in my tire. The car completely shut off and I was too afraid to drive it anywhere. I had it towed to my Mazda dealer in Countryside. The prognosis was very bad. My husband refused to leave it in their care and because it was a day before Christmas Eve we would have to get it towed on the 26th to our own local mechanic.
I do not have a mechanic because I usually get everything taken care of at the dealer and up until now I had always been given fair rates. So I'm panicking and I look up local mechanics on YELP. Yelp helps me send out a message to some local mechanics. Amir from Cermak Auto Care responded and was quick to at least come up with a plan for me. My plan was to have the car towed to his shop and have them diagnose. The dealer claimed it was the engine. When Amir and his team checked it they decided it was not the engine. Why the dealer service guys would say that to me, I have no idea. I did have another large problem but it wasn't the engine. I still only paid half of what I would have paid at the dealer. I never felt taken advantage of. Amir kept me posted on the status of the car the whole time the car was there. I really appreciated his quick responses.
I had a suspicion that something was wrong with the transmission for a while. My husband also noticed this. The work is under warranty for 12 months. Amir and his team changed the transmission for me.
I have been monitoring the car for almost a week now. I could not believe how quiet and smooth the ride was when I drove it home. I felt like I was driving a new car. I'm beyond grateful that the car is running smoothly. I am still paying for the car and it's in great condition. I'm not ready to get another car.
They also checked my tires and got my tire light on the dashboard to turn off. The headlights seem brighter, I don't know if they did something to them. I'm a fan for life. I will no longer get my oil changed at the dealer. I highly recommend Cermak Auto Care. I plan on taking my car here anytime it needs service. They really do want to help you fix your car. I'm a fan! Thank you! - Aug 9, 2024
The check engine light was on and we needed somewhere that was open on weekends so I found cermak auto care on yelp. I emailed to make an appointment and they wrote back quickly to confirm it.
My husband took the car in and they were able to diagnose and resolve the problem quickly and at a reasonable price. We'll definitely look to them for any future issues!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jennifer C.Evergreen Park, IL01Aug 22, 2024
Great and efficient service! The owner Amir takes the time to explain whatever is going on with your vehicle from point A-Z.....after your vehicle has been serviced he also shows you the old parts and explains what they did to service your vehicle and he also explains what you have to do as far as your maintenance to make sure your vehicle stays up and running!!!

Worse mechanic in the city. Completely ruined my jeep after having it for a month. Came in to replace a starter ended up having multiple issues as a result. To name a few, broken engine harness as well as crank sensor issues. Not to mention I was left stranded twice after my starter was replaced. In the end I had to take my car to jeep in order for my car to even be able to drive. If you are smart avoid this place at all cost

Hi Charles, I’m really sorry to hear about this experience but I don’t have any record with your name, vehicle or issues with this description. Replacing a starter would not cause any issues with a wiring harness or sensors. If we had ran into this issue we would have rectified the problem immediately. Again I’m sorry this happened to you and I wish the shop that this review was intended for would have had the same integrity and professionalism as we do.

We've gotten a lot of major work done on our Altima at this location, most recently it was a transmission replacement. Amir was really responsive throughout the process and helped explain all the issues with our car. The prices were also on par, if not cheaper, than other places we had quotes for. We switched to going here because we got such good customer service.
Highly recommend for small and large jobs.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

So happy with my experience! Outstanding customer service and responsiveness, great work and attention to detail, flexibility, kindness, quick, fair prices. I was so stressed about getting this taken care of, but Amir at Cermak made it extremely easy and painless. I will definitely be coming back for my future auto care needs!! Thank you so much Cermak - so glad I found you!!!

Thanks Charlotte, it was a pleasure working with you and making sure the body work was done perfectly. Hope to see you again in the future.

Been coming to this place for couple years. Always great service and good prices. Only auto care I trust! The owner explains everything with detail as of why your car it's having problems and what needs to be fix. Oh and this place it's spotless clean and it's smells so good. Not your regular auto care shop.

I am beyond fortunate to have discovered Cermak Auto Care. Amir is simply the best. He is honest, gives you a fair price, and the work is beyond compare. Cermak Auto Care is one of the places that you hope to never need but so happy to have in your life. I plan to recommend this to all my friends and family--the true mark of a great place.
