Automex

Automex is the best garage in the city! This is a place with good people that do a wonderful job. They are very honest and straight forward. I would not take my car anywhere else in the city. They are so efficient and get things done right away. If you just walk in to have something done they can have it ready almost immediately. They can get any part you need within a few hours. They do not overcharge and are a fantastic value. Lots of cabs get work done over there and if you ask anybody waiting around, this is the best garage in the city to get something done for a reasonable price.

Don’t you hate it when your brakes go out when driving down Halsted? I do, and nearly read-​ending a car that was worth 35 times the value of my Toyota, topped it all off. This is what happens to a car that has nearly 225,000 miles. So I drive back home using the handbrake to make stops in traffic, not safe, but avoided getting the vehicle towed.
The gents at Automex hooked me up with a free estimate and called me before any work was done. Told me exactly what needed to be done and the price. The rear brake lines were rusted out and all the fluid had leaked out. Hence, the brake pedal going straight to the floor when I tried to stop. I had dropped the car off (well it was parked on the block) around noon on a Friday and received a phone call several hours later stating it was done. I picked it up around 5 o’clock and I was on my way.
I was very pleased with the price, $ 145, and the service was great. I noticed they were wrenching on a lot of city cabs — so they must turn out these type of repairs pretty efficiently. This emergency fix got my city beater back on the road in a quick fashion. These guys were honest and up front. I would recommend if you live in the neighborhood — you can’t go wrong with a free estimate.
