K-D Auto Service

Been to this place a few times. Nice work and expert diagnoses. They have repaired both my cars several times for different issues to my satisfaction and gave me a good price. I have referred a few people here and they have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work and the lower prices. I recently had a transmission in my van replaced and had a problem with it a few months later. They fixed it at no charge and honored their warranty. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

K-​D Auto Service seems to be a reputable place. I’ve taken my van here twice. The work was done to satisfaction and it was taken care of within the same day.
If you come early and wait in the waiting room, it seems as though they get your vehicle done earlier than expected. They don’t like you waiting around for some odd reason. The prices seemed a bit higher than I was used to paying.
The one drawback or negative, I ordered a front left tire. I gave Young my phone number and he took the tire measurements and he said he’d contact me when the tire arrived…
That was over a month ago, no call. … and for this reason, I have deducted one (1) additional star from this review.

I get my oil changed here regularly, it’s cheap and fast. I have a new car under warranty, but my old lemon visited this place frequently. They’ve always been fair with their prices for parts and labor. Any price he quotes me, I verified was the cheapest for the part that I could find. There’s never an upsell on some unnecessary service I don’t need, I’ll continue to come here for any repairs in the future.

My brother and I have taken cars here for years. It seems like the guy works to charge you as little as possible, almost like he only charges for parts and not labor. When the car is jacked way up in the air, he takes you under the car to show you what the problem is and what he’s doing about it. We’ve always been 100% satisifed with every repair he’s made.

I am a graduate student who commutes back and forth to school two hours a day. Thus I am poor, but am in absolute need of a functioning car. They say that finding a good mechanic is a treasure and I have had the fortune of meeting two who were knowledgeable about cars and good with their hands. However, the reason Mr. Chung is the absolute diamond in the rough is because he has the skill and knowledge, but also cares personally about his customers. He knows that I cannot afford every fix that my old Honda Civic could use, so he wisely chooses what he knows needs to be fixed immediately and what could wait till I have a little more financial cushion. A good mechanic might recognize the faults in your car, but Mr. Chung recognized that and then respected my personal situation. To me that is above and beyond customer service.
It’s a family owned business and he is a little shy, but I would never take my car elsewhere. Pricing is the cheapest I found and the quality does not indicate that in the slightest. K-​D Auto Service is the absolute best!

I have used KD Auto for over 10 years and my family has also used them. We have been completely satisfied. The owner is a man I trust.

i normally change the brakes on my car but chicago winter was too darn cold to work on cars. I called this shop to find out how much they charge on rotor and brake pads replacement and the price sounded decent. i told him i already have the parts and he the owner of the shop was ok with it. So i dropped off the car and went to work. After a few hours later he called and said everything was done except that the rim was hitting the caliper. i said why would it be hitting the rim when it was not like that before? He said i dont know. Then said the car is not drivable and will need to replace the caliper for an additional $ 150. He obviously damaged the caliper and wanted me to pay for it!

I’ve been lucky enough to have KD Auto take care of all of our cars here for over 20 years. I’ve known Young Chung since he took over the garage from his cousin over 20 years ago. They service many cars for our friends as well. He is honest and thoughtful and treats you better than any garage you will find.

Been taking my vehicles to K-​D for almost 20 years now. Although prices have certainly increased, as they have everywhere, I feel that Young, the owner, is an honest and reputable businessman. There have been times where I’ve asked him whether or not I can wait on certain repairs and I always feel he’s genuine with me. In most cases, I get same day repair. I would definitely recommend K-​D!

I’ve been taking my cars, friend’s cars, family member’s cars here for over 10 years.
You have never met a more honest mechanic/​owner than Mr. Chung. He has beaten estimates every single time from other places and on many occasions could have charged me a lot more but did not.
Want an honest and affordable mechanic? Support a local family owned business and take your vehicle to Mr. Chung.

My family has been going here for decades and they have never steered us wrong. It’s nice to have a mechanic that we can completely trust. They’ve gotten to know several of our cars (both of my parents’ cars and my sister’s car), and let us know when it’s important to change the tires versus just add a band-​aid fix. We have unfortunately moved out of the neighborhood but whenever we need a mechanic we know we can trust, we go back to KD since they know our cars and never feed us a line about things we don’t really need.

I used to go here a lot with my dad and they seemed fine. Cheaper than most. The last time I went there, they fixed my AC, replacing the condenser. A few short months later the AC went out again. I went back to get the repair redone and they basically refused. At first the shop owner said come back when it’s hot and I will refill it. When we said no, figure out what’s wrong, he reluctantly told us there was a leak on the condenser, and said that leaks caused by damage are not covered by warranty. What is that supposed to mean, exactly? All other places guarantee their parts and work for a year. The whole thing was very shady and cost us a bunch of money. Avoid.
