North Park Auto Service

This place is great! I’ve taken my car in three times in the last couple of years (I have an aging car) and every time they would let me know what was wrong, the least expensive way to fix it, or if it wasn’t anything that affected the car’s drivability or safety would let me know so I could decide whether or not to spend the money to fix «non-​essential» things. And particularly as a woman, I feel like they are very honest and don’t try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge (unlike the dealership’s repair shop).

Seriously, take your car to North Park Auto. They are the best. Honest, good price, never feed you any lines about «this must be fixed right away» unless it’s true. I have always had a positive experience there. Decent human beings, excellent mechanics.

Wonderful place. Honest and friendly. Thanks Mr Carlito and the owner for the super nice customer service. Will come back and recommend to all my friends and family.

I’ve been going to North Park for many years. Service is great. As a woman, I still get haggled on service on my car. I can take my car here for any repair and know that’s what needs to be done without any hidden costs. Would highly recommend

I’d give them ZERO stars but that wasn’t an option. Had a accident while driving through Chicago from Indiana. Had to have it towed to North Park because they were close and open on a Saturday. Was misquoted time frame of repairs by 2 extra days, and when we got the car back the whole dash lit up with warning lights. They said to drive it home and get rest repairs here. The honda dealership here says they put a wheel bering in backwards! Why would you send a customer on 120 mile trip and think having all sensor lights on was ok? I wouldn’t send my hot wheels car in for repair there.

I had an urgent need to get my car fixed and back on the road… I thought I had a bad wheel bearing ($ 400 – 600) they took a look and told me that it was an old shield… they took it off for $ 15. Their honesty earned my continued business and referrals.

Been going to NPA for almost 5 years now. Good service no hidden charges. Responsible business that will give you the honest advice and repair every time.

I love them, I trust them. I send all my family there lol I really do they always do a great job and never have lied. They helped me not get scammed the 1^st time I went the owner even offered to call the other place, which is American lube on western grrrrrr I hate that place, to tell them they were lying to me. GREAT STAFF AFFORDABLE AND HONEST it’s what we all need when we have car trouble

He is my father’s mechanic. Now me and my friends go there. They are honest and look out for the customers.

Went in there after getting a diagnostic test. Had replaced everything else except one thing. They gave me an estimate for last thing. They are extremely courtesy amd very well priced. I’ll be going back there for any repairs I need.

Knew I needed new front brakes, went to sears auto center, for $ 15 got a quote for $ 650 for new pads, rotors, fluid, calipers and installation.
Called North Park Auto at 11AM on Saturday, went right in, was told all I needed was rotors and pads for $ 250.
Unfortunately, the ‘joint’ (I’m no mechanic, obviously) on my front axle was damaged. They actually walked me out and showed me where the damage was, showed me how the other side looked, explained how it could have happened and told me that I could bring my car back to fix it later.
The folks at Sears were friendly but didn’t even mention the damage/​leakage on the axle.
I ended up getting both issues fixed the same day for just over $ 400 and feel comfortable recommending them to friends and family.

My car is like oxygen. I don’t know the first thing about how it works but if I don’t have it, I can’t go to work. So it’s good to have North Park Auto on our side. Over the past three years, we have had a number of issues with our cars, ranging from life-​threatening to the cosmetic. Zuheir and his staff were honest and upfront about any issue we had. I am always satisfied every time I drive away. I am always amazed at how quickly they seem to work, making it easier on my time and my wallet.

Zuhir is great! Very professional and thorough! As a woman, I feel very comfortable taking my car here with no worries about getting ripped off.

Just today (2 days before Christmas) I stopped in, without an appointment, and this place was great! They ordered the part I needed (way cheaper than the price the dealer had quoted me) and their labor rates were very reasonable. AND they got my car done by the end of the day!
I was very impressed and will take my car back there next time I have an issue :) !!

Zuheir and his staff are the «salt» of the auto industry. Here is why… I had heard glowing reports from colleagues and associates for years. Although, until recently, I hadn’t needed work on my car. Last week, I took my car in, met with Zuheir and he schooled me on the diagnostic check-​up (DC) process. In short, he explained that the DC checks the electronic system of the vehicle not the mechanical parts.
So, in my case, the DC would display an alert for my catalytic converter, which meant my sensor (which is electronic piece) needs to be changed/​replaced. Keep in mind, changing the sensor is significantly less than replacing the catalytic converter, which is the mechanical piece. ****catch the shift in the saga****
Days priors to visiting North Park Auto, I went to «a place that will remain nameless» that did a similar DC but they «recommended» changing the catalytic converter, which is a mechanical piece and has NOTHING to do with the electronic system. Well, I happily gave $ 500+ to the establishment that will remain nameless to «fix» the problem (i.e. check engine light). However, after getting the car back, by the next morning, the check engine light was back on which is how I ended up at North Park Auto.
In sum, THANK YOU North Park Auto Service for your honesty and continued dedication to truly us less automatically inclined customers. #KUDOS

These guys are the best in town! I’ve been going here since 2003 and they have done nothing but superb work. Zuheir is the owner and he is honest, reliable and knowledgeable.
Very very reasonable priced. I’ve asked around at other places to campare and the competition is just boggled by their prices. What is also great about these guys, is that, they let you bring in your own parts (for those who want special brnads, or better quality parts) and they just charge you labor but make sure you ask them before you bring it in to shop. All in all, North Park Auto is awesome and you should definitelly do business with them.

I whole-​heartedly recommend North Park Auto to anyone needing car repair/​maintenance. I have been taking my car here for nearly three years and have always felt like I have received quality work at a reasonable price. Because their hourly labor rate is only $ 79 this makes getting your car fixed a lot cheaper when compared to other shops (I recently had some tire work done by a Goodyear and their labor rate was $ 105). At North Park Auto I always feel like I’m getting a fair shake and they’ve even done some work for free! My only complaint is that my car is usually returned with grease smudges on the hood and around the door handle. Other than that I’m usually a very happy customer.

I brought my car here when I was having problems with my car– my check engine light came on and it was running terribly. This place took my car in right away, and assured me that it would be done by the end of the day so I could get home (I work close but live far away). I also told them I was really concerned about the costs, and that if anything else came up, to please call me. The owner called me a few hours later with something else that was wrong with the car (my husband and I had expected it, so we weren’t surprised) and asked permission to fix both issues and gave me the guaranteed total. When I arrived, my car was ready, the price was what I had been told, and both major issues with my car have been fixed and not become a problem again. I am SO happy to find a place that is honest and does quality work! This is where I will always take my cars.

Supporting my local businesses is a high priority for me, so I asked my husband (a lifelong North Park resident) for his opinions on Auto Service needs. He works at North Park University and highly recommended Zuhier (the owner of North Park Auto).
Having negative experiences at the Jiffy Lube nearby… I was ready to take the hubby’s advice this time.
This place is VERY honest about the needs of your vehicle. We were worried about our «squeaky brakes,» so Zuhier took the car for a spin himself. Most businesses would have immediately changed the brakes, so they could charge you for more services. Instead, he thoroughly examined them and determined that nothing was amiss with our brakes — saved us the money and the fretting.
About a year ago, I had a flat tire while preparing to leave for an out-​of-​town vacation. Under severe time constraints, we took our car to Zuhier who fixed our flat tire for FREE… as a gift to us. We have had NO trouble with that tire… even 1 year later!

Honest, reliable, affordable and local. Nothing like being able to get your oil changed, brakes replaced and then walk home. If you live in North Park or Albany Park and need a great mechanic you have to go here.
They are very upfront, don’t try to sheister you and will be totally honest. I went there once to have my oil changed and asked to have my brakes replaced, not examined yet he replied that I really didn’t need them changed yet. I was very impressed he was so honest and didn’t just look to make a quick buck off me. Great place.
