New Windy City Discount Mufflers & Brakes

Brought my car in for a muffler repair and fuel filter replacement and they were very fair in the repair cost. There were a few cars ahead of me and I was worried that I wouldn’t get my car back until the next day. They told me 6:00 but then called me at 3:00to say it was finished. Super professional, timely and very friendly. Highly recommend.

Excellent, excellent service, repair and pricing. Needed a new exhaust piece due to car making unbearable noise — along with a new oil pressure sensor. Did the work immediately. In and out and all is working perfectly. Talked to Emo over the phone before bringing it in — great customer service. A true rarity with car places in Chicago.

This place is great. The service is quick and reasonably priced. They always go out of their way to make sure things are fixed and will alert you only to actual issues, not try to upsell you on unecessary repairs. I would highly recommend.

The engine light on my car came on. I always expect to put out big bucks when that happens. The service manager tested the car to see why the light came on. It turns out I didn’t tighten my fuel cap enough. What could have been expensive cost nothing for the repair. My point is, these people are very trustworthy/​honest. They could have sold me anything and I wouldn’t have known.

Having a teenage driver in our household has unfortunately made me a regular customer over the past few months. I trust Emo and his quality of work. He’s always been upfront and honest with us and I appreciate him for that. I will forever be a loyal customer.

Went if for a nail in my tire. Service was great and quick! Thank you so much. I will definitely return when my car decides its time!

Quick quality service with affordable pricing. I have always been entirely satisfied by the service and hospitality. These folks deserve my highest recommendation.

Best place to take your car and fix it. The prices are low and the services they provide are high quality, they are always friendly. One time I had a problem with my car and i took it to 3 different places were the other places want to charge me $ 800 the just charge me $ 240 and gave me guarantee that I didn’t use at all. I will never take my car anywhere else. Love this place.

I went in after dislodging my muffler on the edge of an unsurfaced road and I could clearly see the damage. I did some research online and it seemed like it could be repaired for around $ 100. I was preparing to pay double that after what I experienced with other mechanics, but I came in New Windy City and they quickly gave me an estimate for half that, and I was on my way in 90 minutes. If I have another problem with my car I’ll definitely bring it here.

Took my car in for break pads and rotors. Their quote was good and they stuck with it. When I came to pick the car up he let me know that my breaks had been in really bad shape. He spent and extra hour working on the calipers to save them. He could have easily told me I needed new calipers and charged me for them, but instead he put in an extra hour of work. I appreciate the effort and the honesty. I found my Chicago mechanic that I trust. That’s a rare find! Thanks!

Excellent service I received and the owner Emo gave me the best deal I could find in Chicago for my break job with a 1 year warranty I will most definitely come back again i recommend this service too All

Emo is wonderful! He is an honest mechanic and that is SO hard to find in this city. I brought my car in here today and I am now a life long customer. He was also super fast, I was in and out of here in less than an hour. You cannot beat his prices.
On top of all of that he gave me a homemade cookie on my way out! So nice! I might just come here to hang out now!

Great service felt welcomed the minute I arrived the manager Emo knows exactly what my vehicles need and I don’t doubt his decisions. Recommend him if you need any work done you won’t regret it.

I was a customer here for over 20 years and referred many people here. They have always been honest and given the best price. I came here to get work done for less than what I would pay the dealership.
The last time that I was there was in August, 2015 and the owner had her younger brother giving estimates. I’ve never seen this guy before but there was something about the guy that made me feel uncomfortable — my gut was telling me that he thought that he was slick.
I had a list of repairs needed that I got from the dealer. As I was reading it, he looked at the paper and smoothly said: «hey my friend, let me take a look.» I didn’t realize it but the dealer’s price was on the list — but he obviously noticed it.
The dealer’s repair price was $ 990.00. He said: «hey my friend, I can do the work for $ 940.00 and save you $ 50.00.»
I walked out, took the car to Pep Boys and they did all the work for $ 560.00.
I don’t know if this new guy is the future of their company, but they lost my trust, they lost a long time customer, and I can’t recommend them to any of my friends knowing that this guy is giving estimates.

I rarely write reviews, but outstanding service deserves to be praised. My car required new rear brake shoes, drums, and hardware, and I needed the job done same-​day to make an important meeting. I called in and spoke to Emo, and he gave me a very reasonable price and fixed my car quicker than I could’ve hoped for. From start to finish, Emo was honest, straightforward, and friendly, and I’ll definitely be going back to the shop for service in the future. I highly recommend Emo and Belgin if you want trustworthy, professional service.

Super fast and great service. We live down the street and always come here for service for both of our vehicles. Thanks Emo and Miqueal for all of your help. Hands down the best car service place in town!

I went in needing my muffler system repaired. The owner was nice and was easily able to tell me how much it would cost, I took it for a quote at a different shop and here it was noticeably less (over 50% less then the other shop. I left my car and within half an hour they had it ready; using it for a few days I can say it’s running a lot more smoothly. The transaction was such an easy and delightful especially with the lady in the front desk explaining my warranty making it overall a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming here for any brake or muffler related issues.

My husband’s brother referred me to this repair shop. I have a 2011 Toyota Camry (purchased new from a Toyota dealer) I always have my car serviced at the Toyota dealership. I needed brakes, so my husband & I went to this repair shop. I was paranoid about having anyone, other than the Toyota dealer service my car.
I had my brakes repaired about 6 weeks ago. The owner (Emo) purchased new brakes, pads, etc for my car. Autozone delivered all the new parts. The body shop is small, but you can literally sit in the shop on the side & watch your car being serviced. The price was very very reasonable for front & rear brakes; complete brake job. My husband & I waited for my car, the entire repair took about 2 hours.
Great service, good prices for the expensive Chicago area & the work was gaurenteed.
My husband and I took 2 road trips & the brakes are excellent.
I have referred many friends to this repair shop!!!

I’ve been coming to New Windy City mufflers & brakes for years. I drive older used cars, and I keep them for a long time. I’ve had exhaust work done by these guys including new mufflers, exhaust pipe repairs, and even a new catalytic converter.
I don’t get the most expensive replacement parts, because there’s no sense getting a ten year muffler on a car that may only last another 2 or 3. That’s what I like about this place. They do good quality work, at a reasonable price for what I’m getting.
They work fast and I’ve seldom had to wait for them to make the repairs and I’ve shown up without appointments.
I’ll certainly be back, and I recommend them for any exhaust work you need done.

I dealt with Emo, a straight forward guy there who found the source of my brake issue. I would definitely recommend this place. They work fast and are reasonable on price. I’ve been screwed by a few places but this is a great place to go.
