Antioch Automotive

Bring your vehicle here. They do good work, reasonably priced and are very honest. I have brought my Honda here a few times and every time I bring it in, they repair only what is needed, tell me what is wrong and don’t try to sell me what is not needed. I have brought it in expecting the repairs to be something major (oil pan and steering rack) and all I needed was a small oil plug gasket and a steering hose. That is how you do business! I will bring my vehicles back here every time.

Had my vehicle there twice for same prob the clame to fix and over charged me by far to begin with and now my truck is doing the same thing they said they fixed i wouldn’t take my truck back hear if the work was free all these good reviews must be friends because these are hardly mechanics more like part changers !

They are very truthful and don’t try to rip you off. They explained to me what needed to be fixed immediately and what could wait. They have reasonable prices for all jobs. They are also very friendly.

Let’s put it this way… I’ve been going to Antioch Automotive for years with all my vehicles and so has my family, neighbors and friends. Outstanding service and people that work there.
They’re not going to rip you off. If they tell you it’s not worth fixing then you better believe them. If you’re short on money, they’ll do their best to work with you. I can go on an on but their service speaks for itself. My 2003 Lincoln Navigator has been taken apart by them and put back together without missing a beat. No unnecessary repairs were performed and the NAV runs like new with 200,000 miles on it. Save your money from overpriced dealers, Check out their website and visit them. You won’t be disappointed! Two thumbs up and If I had 4 thumbs, they would be up too!

My family has been going to Antioch Automotive for years and always preached about it. I decided when having problems with my car I would take it there.
The first issue I had them look at they gave a description of what they needed to do and said how much and if they would have time for a couple other things on the car.
While getting the quotes for the parts and repairs the man on the phone was rude and condescending when it came to the repairs I was enquiring about and never got back to me on the prices.
My father would later get on the phone and described a specific issue with the car that wasn’t clear at first so that they would be able to find the issue and fix it properly after I told them to do the repairs.
They said yes and then when I talked to them on the Saturday after (they had had the car for 3 days) they said they had done the three other repairs besides for the one that I originally had intended on them doing. They said at that point that I had told them not to do it and on top of that, that it was an issue that would take some time. I told them that I had not told them to not do the repair and asked them if they could still get to the issue. On Monday I hadn’t heard from them and called them to ask how things were going with the final big issue and was told again, by someone else, that it would take time, I told them they had had the car for 5 days and I need it back, not to mention if it was going to take days more they should have told me before hand. Then I expressed my concerns about all the miscommunications that had happened while the man I talked to was condescending back to me. The issue was one that would take a long time but not something that is necessary, if they didn’t have time for it I could have brought it back at a later date.
The man on the phone was very impatient and rude to me and I told him I would call him back. After thinking on it I called them back, told them not to worry about any more work on it and went straight over to pick it up. The repairs were cheap but when I arrived at the shop the man i had talked on the phone with said he had talked with the other people in the shop and that my father had told them not to do the original repair. Which is absolutely not the case and I decided I wouldn’t give them too bad of a rep because they were semi apologetic for the miscommunication
Just now I was having my car towed through my insurance and the first time they showed up was 3 minutes after I got a notification saying they would be there in twenty. When I didn’t immediately answer my phone, though I called back a minute later, they left my house and I had to reschedule the tow. They told me a time and I had to call my insurance and they showed up 30 minutes late. It was a 2 hour ordeal and they ends up not even sending their own vehicle because I was so fed up my insurance found someone else. We got the car to the shop within 20 minutes of closing.

Honest repair shop. We have several older, high mileage vehicles and they never try to sell us unnecessary repairs, they just take care of the problem we asked to resolve (though they will advise on potential problems, obviously). Great repair shop, recommend them highly!

Looking for a stand up place to get your vehicle fixed in the Antioch/​Lake Villa area? Well, look no further than Antioch Automotive off Rt 83 in Antioch.
Long story short: I took plenty of classes back in the day for automotive repair and service. I know the ins and outs of a car, possible problems, symptoms, and probable cost of repairs involved.
So I definitely know when someone is «blowing smoke» so to speak.
I mostly do my own maintenance on my vehicles and I have never been comfortable taking my cars just anywhere.
This time out I had a hard to diagnose noise coming from the front end suspension of my vehicle.
We typically use a shop in Wauconda, IL (Automotive Repair Services) for our auto needs, but due to the circumstances (time crunch) involved, I had to find a facility locally to look at my vehicle.
I asked around and researched online-​everyone seemed to have many positive to say about Antioch Automotive. The good news is that they all seem to be true!
Now getting back to my «issue», I had fear and $uspicion$ of what it could be and was definitely not looking forward to the outcome and e$timated repair bill.
Throughout the process AA kept me posted on what they were doing, and what they ended up finding. It took a little bit of time but they isolated the issue and it was something that ended up costing me a fraction of what I was expecting.
It could be said that In situations such as this, the shop could very well say it was what I thought it was going to be, and replace unnecessary items (esp when you take into account the mileage of my vehicle) But not these guys!
They played it straight and to the point. (Thank you AA!)
AA is polite, courteous, honest, and affordable. What more could you want?
It’s a nice little place with plenty of water and hot coffee in the waiting room.
Honestly, my only complaint is the gravel parking lot which can be a bit bumpy in spots but all in all I’m pleased and I highly recommend this place!
Hopefully I won’t have any future issues but it’s nice to know we have such a good service shop in the area.
