Maas Auto Inc

I have used Maas Auto twice in the past few months for significant jobs on my Chevy Impala and both times they did every bit as well as any auto repair place I’ve used in the past. They are professional, knowledgeable, and cheaper than any dealership. They are also good with communicating and giving timely status on the work.
The first job involved my car leaking oil at different spots on the engine. As soon as they were done with the diagnosis, they e-​mailed me a PDF file with all the information and pictures of the problem. It included both the results of a complimentary general inspection of the vehicle and the details of the cause of the oil leak problem. It turned out that both the valve cover gasket and intake manifold gasket were shot and needed to be replaced. Due to a possible fire hazard, the engine and part of the exhaust also needed to have a sloppy mess of leaked oil cleaned off of them using a degreaser agent
I had dropped the car off in the late afternoon near Maas’ closing time, they completed the gasket replacement work by the same time the following day (it’s a big job, about 7 – 8 hours needed to complete it), and I paid about $ 1,050. It’s like the problem never happened and the car is tip-​top again.
There’s no way I would get off paying that price at any dealership — it would likely be about $ 1500. If it’s any indication, three years ago for a different vehicle of mine I paid $ 900 at a dealership for an intake gasket to be replaced on its own and without any oil cleanup required.
The second job on my Impala involved a problem with my car bucking, struggling to accelerate from a dead stop, and periodically behaving like it could lose power at any moment. Maas diagnosed it in less than 2 hours and determined that it was a timing problem caused by a failed camshaft control magnet (I’ve never heard of such a thing). They replaced the magnet and, upon my request, they also flushed the fuel injectors, cleaned the throttle body, and performed an engine induction. The total bill was $ 570. The car is running really well again with the problem totally gone.
I have no reason at all not to give Maas the full 5 stars after multiple excellent experiences.

We have been looking for a great place to take our cars for repairs! Well, we found it. Friendly, reasonable, explain everything to us etc. 5 stars all the way. We live a little of a drive from the shop but, don’t care how far we have to drive customer for life. Dropping off our lemon again tomorrow for more repairs! Thank you for being so honest and fixing our car for such a reasonable price! We will be adding another car to our family this month for our teenager and sure to be contacting you soon for more repairs! Our family would give 10 stars if possible. Owner is wonderful, knowledgable and honest! What more could you ask for? Thank you for such great service!!!

The mechanics here do good work, and their prices are competitive. The only problem I have is the woman who does reception at the Lagrange rd. location. She is not personable whatsoever, when you walk in the door she doesn’t say hello or anything, then generally has an attitude. I also don’t like that she is the person I interface with, not the mechanic. She reads the list of everything the mechanic says is wrong, I would like to be able to ask the mechanic questions. Her bad attitude is worth dealing with for the work they do.

If you think down home customer service and fairness is a thing of the past, visit Maas, if you can get in. There is a reason why these guys just expanded on LaGrange Rd.
John and Marty are an amazing contribution to our community.
Thanks guys!

I have been going to these guys for years and always get a fair shake. They don’t suggest work to be done if it isn’t needed. My car is in there right now and I am awaiting their call. I could go on as to how they have saved me money over the years but believe me when I say they can be trusted, which in the car repair business isn’t always the case.

I take my 2005 Audi here for regular services, oil changes & whenever something breaks. They provide great service at an extremely affordable price. I’ve recommended them to my family members & friends. Overall, highly recommend them.

Finding a good auto repair shop is never an easy thing to do, so I trusted in Unilocal to steer me in the right direction when my brakes started acting up.
Happily, the other positive reviews for MAAS were right on the money. Not only were they able to take care of the repair the same day, they also gave me a ride from the shop to my store in La Grange… now that’s customer service!
Overall, I was very satisfied with the work that was done and the cost of the repair was pretty reasonable. Needless to say, I think I’ve found my spot for any future repairs, and a place I can feel comfortable referring people to.

ive been here twice, never again. the first time they would not fix my aunts car cuz they said the brakes and exhaust were fixed poorly previously and they dont like to fix other peoples errors. i took my truck here and paid as much or more than i would have at the dealer but i needed it done before a long trip so i didnt have much choice. Maas’ labor charges are high and they dont use dealer parts, and dont have a nice waiting area. so y go here??? Plus when i got the truck home, i had to top off my brake fluid reservoir cuz it was at the low line… i feel for the money, u r better off at a dealer .
the owner, well the owner’s son eric, commented about my aunt’s car repair being under warranty. but ask him and see if he knows what repair my aunts car needed and what kind of car it is, he wont have a clue. my aunt was visiting from out of town in a 20+ yr old car and needed a repair before she went back, so even if there was a warranty (which there wasnt!) she needed the work done then and there. regarding my truck, i showed john, not eric, the dealer’s special flyer and he said they cant match a special offer. afterwards i mailed the flyer to eric and even though he commented on Unilocal about a good price on the flyer, he also stated that i never showed a flyer and that im dishonest. my original estimate went up after the car was on the rack for 2 hours but he commented that my price never increased.
look… if you went here once and they wouldnt work on your car and then you gave them the benefit of the doubt and went there a second time and didnt like the way they treated you and thought they were over priced… how would you review them? the real owner just apologized to me on the phone today. he said that eric wasnt there, didnt know what really happened and should have kept his mouth shut. he was cordial but i still wont go here.

Sister shop of Maas Auto on 55^th Street, this Maas Auto focuses more on brake repairs. Nervous John heads up this store, and he is a great person to deal with concerning your car.
What separates Maas from anyone else in the industry is that they SHOW you what is wrong with your car, they TELL you what parts you will need and how much it will cost, and they GUARANTEE a good job… or your money back?
No, you won’t get your money back. They never screw up anyways, so no worries.
