Pete’s Auto Clinic

I’ve known Pete well over ten years, originally going over to him as he’s across the street from me. He worked on my previous and current Oldsmobile cars.
Fair, honest, good pricing, and stands by his work. Quick turn around.

Excellent service and fair prices. Very personable and know what they’re doing. Pete has helped me through a couple of do-​it-​myself hangups. Highly recommended!

I’ve live a block from Pete’s Auto Clinic and never go there until now. I was having all of my four breaks replace. But then Pete’s call me and told me only my front break need replacing and my rear break is fine. They could have replace all of my four breaks and I wouldn’t know about it. I like their honesty and good work. I will go back again.

I just picked up my car after my inaugural visit to Pete’s. I am new to the neighborhood and needed some MAJOR maintenance work to my poor, neglected Subaru. They did great work quickly and for a fair price. It’s nice to go to a mechanic who doesn’t treat women like they don’t know anything about cars. For this reason, I like to use independent mechanics, and steer clear of dealerships. I like to drive my cars well into the high mileage range, and it’s nice to have a mechanic right around the corner who can help me keep my car running well. Thanks, guys!

I love Petes. I’ve been using them as my mechanics for about 5 years, and I really feel that they are trustworthy, friendly, skilled and reasonably priced. There are times when they could have charged us for things, and they didn’t. They are very honest people. Love them!

if you want honest & fair, go to pete. s!!! :)

I came last week cause I had minor leak. Pilo was very nice, quick, and price was fair. I definitely recommend this place. Thank you Pilo for your great service.

I don’t usually review mechanics on Unilocal,but I feel compelled to review this place.
I went to the Midas up near Lincolnwood to get some new tires I got shipped there installed. They inspected my car and gave me a laundry list of things that needed to be done. One of the things was a new timing belt, something I got replaced 20K miles ago. I told them to kiss my behind.
Based on the numerous glowing reviews, I took my car up to Pete’s. He told me that the only wrong with my car was a bad brake light. I just got a new mechanic for the life of my car.

I was in dire need of an oil change and to replace my belt. As a lady I didn’t want to be taken advantage of. I don’t know much about cars and the mechanics behind it. After debating between going to the Toyota dealership and here, I made a decision to go here instead. I’m happy that I did.
People there are really nice and welcoming. I told them what I need to get done and they told me how long it will take. I decided to take care of my errands while my car was getting fixed. I thought it was really nice of them to call me and let me know what the issue was and how much. When I missed their call the 2^nd time to tell me that the car was ready, they told me to call them back to let them know I got the message. This is good customer service. My car was fixed and the noise is long gone.
I totally recommend them! I wonder if they are aware of their reviews?

I have an older car and a lot of things are starting to go wrong with it, so I have brought it in several times because things get rusty and wear out. Whenever I have brought the car in to Pete’s Auto Clinic, I never feel like I am being ripped off, or unnecessary things have been done to it. The real problem is always repaired. I have had a couple of bad experiences with mechanics, but nothing except praise for Pete’s Auto Clinic.

We live just 2 blocks from Pete’s and have been going to them for many years. They’re friendly, honest and fair, and they do a good job on repairs.

Let me start by saying that I just LOVE Pete. I discovered this little shop when I first moved to Chicago and lived right around the corner. I would drop off my car (a 2002 Subaru) there for oil changes, tires rotations, and other routine maintenance, and then just walk home. When I moved a little further east, I kept coming back. The reason: these are honest guys who are NOT going to rip you off. Pete did the 80,000 mile check up on my car which included changing all the spark plugs and other electrical parts and he charged me half of what the dealer quoted me. He gets the repairs done quickly, always calls if he finds something else that you should considering getting done, and never charges more than the quote.
My car needs the belts replaced right now it has 120,000 miles on it, and I know exactly who I am going to call to get it done. GREAT shop, GREAT mechanic!

Let me admit that I have a bias, I’m friends with Pete and Angelo so they could fart in my face and I’d still give them five stars.
I think if you are looking for a shop to take your car, consider this place. Pete is not out to make a fast buck, but rather wants to help folks out. I’ve sent a few younger (and broke) friends there and he’s helped them out, and in one case just found something unplugged, plugged it back and send my friend on her way.
They also don’t have cars sit around, they jump on projects and get them done as quickly as possible.

I just went to Pete’s because my maintenance required light was on. He was very friendly and fixed it immediately, on the spot. And since it didn’t take much he did it for free! I’ll for sure come back when there is something actually wrong with my car.

A friend of mine recommended Pete and I have used him without complaint or incident for the past two years. He’s honest, trustworthy and a good mechanic. He’s the kind of guy who won’t charge you for little stuff and will let you know what you must repair right away or what can wait a while if money is an issue. He will also let you know if there is something he can’t handle– for instance, he handles all the maintenance on our 1988 BMW, but when we needed electrical work done he didn’t hesitate to let us know that we needed to go to the dealer.
I highly recommend Pete– tell him Sadie sent you.
