Adam’s Auto Repair

Today I took my car to hav brakes bleed due to a leak in the rubber hose coming from caliber. I recently replaced the hose but still had a leak. So I took the car in to bleed the brakes. After they fix the leak and bleed the brakes they called me and told me it would be 225 dollars I was expecting 100 to 125. My complaint is someone should hav called me and told me there were more work to be done on vehicle and there would be more charge. Lesson learned the owner or manager was rude and told me he would break what he fix and charge me for a caliber. Sad customer service. I paid the bill and will leave the rest to GOD. TERRIBLE SERVICE.

Took my car into Adams to get the check engine light problem fixed so that I can pass the emission. It cost $ 80 just for them to look at your car and tell you what is wrong, unless you get the car fixed with them. So the mechanic comes out and tells me that i have 3 codes O2 sensor exhaust sensor and another one I forget. They called me 2 days later and say that they did replace the sensors but the light was still on. The mechanic says that the problem must not be mechanical but electrical and that he would have to trace the wiring for the whole car. At this time my balance was $ 650. I told him to stop right there with the work do not proceed, I did not plan to spend that much money. I went to emission and still failed had to get a waver and my car started to run horrible when I got it back. They use a lot of mechanical language along with their thick accent makes it hard to understand them. I gave them one star only because they were friendly and they assisted me with no extra cost on how to get the waiver.

So… I failed my emissions test next door to Adam’s, and saw this repair place and was a bit hesitant. I checked and saw it was in the booklet of Repair Shops for emissions problems, so thought I’d hold my breath and give the place a try. The people behind the counter were courteous, explained that they would look at the car to determine the exact problem and resolution needed and would then speak with me again. They explained the problem precisely and nicely, explained my options and different cost options for the repair and the time it would take, etc. They were flexible, courteous, and most importantly — honest. After getting the car fixed, I had to drive around a day or two for the car’s system to re-​set so it would pass the test. I stopped by twice, and both times they stopped their work and immediately came over to my car to see if my system had reset yet (free for them to check). Finally it re-​set and I passed, and went right next door to the emissions place and passed there as well. Overall a really great experience with this place.
I live in Chicago but liked this place so much I may go here for all my repairs! Thanks guys for taking such good care of my car.
