Car-X Auto Service

I am new to the area and I went there for an oil change. They proceeded to inform me that I needed new front brakes which included pads and of course rotors. This would be approximately 300.00. I have taken my car to 2 other facilities and they both informed me that I DID NOT need new brakes. They both said the fluid was low!!! Needless to say I would never go to Carx anywhere. What a shame how they try to con a woman. One star because I needed this in order for this post.

Awesome job on my Nissan Murano took me that same day and did my emissions test as well! Would recommend this place over any other it was worth the drive to Berwyn from Des Plaines

Fast courteous service. They went above and beyond my expectations and told me how I can save money on my next repairs, something nobody else would ever do. You won my business!

Extremely rude customer service. Definitely not the way to speak to a potential customer. Go elsewhere. Zero stars

I came here a few months ago for a oil change… very fast service… and friendly staff… today I scheduled an appt for an emission test (ugh how I despite that time) and arrive a lil early to the appt. but got serviced so quick… I was in and out in less than 15min! I have no complaints whatsoever… and happy my car passed lol…

Car Rx was recommended to me following one too many disastrous adventures with Pep Boys (the Cicero location). The mechanics there have always been nothing but courteous to me. They always take the time to show you exactly what’s wrong and exactly what needs to be done in order to solve the problem (s). Cesar (the assistant manager) is excellent. He honestly goes above and beyond when it comes to making sure that your car problems are resolved quickly and efficiently. These mechanics NEVER lie to you about your car and NEVER inflate their prices. They are truly on the up-​and-​up. While I do go to Jiffy Lube for the oil changes, when it comes to major car repairs, I only go to Car Rx. I don’t think I’d trust my car in the hands of anyone else.

Avoid at all cost! They tried to screw me a few years ago and told me I needed EVERYthing done for my brakes (new calipers, rotors, pads, wheel bearings, the works), and then I took it elsewhere and was quoted $ 400 less.
Then recently I decided to try them again, got the free brake inspection, they did the same thing! Quoted me $ 900!
So I of course took it to a different place who charged me $ 550 for everything. They told me I absolutely did NOT need all the stuff Car-​X said I needed and they found that my boot had JUST been cut because the tube that carries the oil to the boot (or something like that) had only a little grease around the area, and the cut looked like it had been made with a razor blade. They said if it had been done awhile ago, there would have been a lot more grease around the area. Do NOT trust this place, they are aholes and obviously desperate! I hope this review saves someone else.
