Rodriguez Auto Shop

I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN… bought two tires within a month and a half and one tire had a slow leak. I called and talk to the owner and was told to come in with my reciept and I did and he would not replace the tire. …mind you he charges 50 per tire and I definitely was not about to give him another 50 for a tire that didn’t even last me 6 months. He gets your money and really don’t care if you have an issue mind you I send a lot of people to this place of business… I won’t refer no one else!!!

Been to several of the higher rated auto repair shops in the Lincoln Park/​Lakeview area and this is the best.
Dropped off my 2012 Buick Verano before Labor Day weekend with weird engine noise and shaking at idle, but no check engine light (hard to diagnose). Ramiro made some calls around to local dealerships and did some research and pinpointed exactly which sensor needed to be replaced. He even left a message for me over the holiday weekend. After such good service, the final bill was also more reasonable than I had expected.
Rodriquez Auto Shop is what every neighborhood auto shop should be and I will trust him with all of my cars in the future.

I just needed an oil change but based on the negative reviews Midas got and the GLOWING reviews Rodriguez got, I decided to go to Rodriguez. $ 35 for an oil change and nothing else. If I go to the dealer, I can get an oil change, car wash, and tire rotation for $ 30 and $ 17 with a coupon. I can go to Midas, Jiffy Lube, any car service chain and get an oil change with free tire rotation for $ 20 with a coupon. Maybe this place is good if you have a serious car problem but i feel really ripped off

Tuffy usually fixes my tires ($ 35 to replace + tire cost) but they were having issues with their machine. My tire was just sent to them by an online store (tirerack) since Tuffy didn’t have my tire. So, they just told me the names of a few other places.
Cassidy won’t put on a tire that’s sent in from an online store.
CarX wanted $ 150-​$ 175 to change a tire (what??) and couldn’t do it for 3 hours.
Bucaro Brothers was totally booked (not appointment only — but still had no time). They sent me to Rodriguez
Rodriguez put it on in 20 minutes for $ 25. I wish I knew about them earlier. I probably could have saved money on some other stuff. (EDIT) The only problem was — they never checked the tire pressure & I was driving 5 lbs low… they never even said — go to a gas station to check it & fill it up because we can’t fill it here. I could sense the unevenness rather soon after the change though.

Ramiro will be my go-​to mechanic. I needed emergency brake work done and he and his shop gave me fair pricing and provided great work, quicker than expected. He even identified broken parts that, I was told previously by another shop, was a non-​related issue in the suspension of my Jeep. Without having him give everything a look over, I would have spent hundreds of dollars replacing parts that did not need replaced. I’ve owned many cars and have come to know mechanics in different cities — Ramiro really knows how to get good work done cheap. I’d recommend him to all of my friends for local car repair in Chicagoland.

Went here due to the 5 star Unilocal reviews (super rare for a car shop). Romero was very nice on the phone, told me no appointment necessary but just to call so they could clear a spot for me. needed an oil change and a new horn. quoted me a fair price with options between new and used parts and then when I arrived it was 35 $ less. love this place! I will definitely be back.

This place was excellent. Really friendly and quick service, great value for money. The guy running the shop was very helpful and explained everything he was doing. Would definitely recommend them.

Needed an oil change and didn’t feel like driving out to the dealership. So I popped onto Unilocal to see what I could find in the city. Rodriguez Auto Shop had some great reviews, so I called them up (along with a few other places) to get some price quotes.
To be honest, I went there because they were the cheapest. But they’re more than that.
I always get scared that when I go to get anything done on my car, the guy is gonna take advantage of me because I’m a woman who clearly knows nothing about cars. And when I walked in and was asked how many cylinders my engine had… and I had no idea, I braced myself for a $ 1000 oil change.
Buuut it didn’t happen. The guys there are nice, professional, and honest. I was in an out in an hour, and it cost me exactly what I was quoted on the phone. So, yay!
Highly recommend ‘em.

I needed an oil change and transmission change. I shopped around the area including my dealership. This place hands down beat everyone around the area, plus they were conveniently down the street from my house. They had my car ready within an hour. I definitely would recommend this place for the prices and customer service. It’s hard finding a trustworthy mechanic, but these guys were.

My Wife and I have been living in the City of Chicago for four years now and we have not found a better place than Rodriguez Auto Shop! They are great with their pricing and they are always on the ball. They always stick to the times when they say what time your car will completed! AMAZING AUTO SHOP!!!

Gilberto is the man. I had a nail in my tire and upon further review there were actually 2 nails in my tire. It is normally $ 20.00 for a patch, so it would be $ 40.00 for the two, Gil only charged me $ 30.00 and put the tire back on for me. Great guys, great service. If you go in, in the mid afternoon a food truck drives through with hot sandwiches.

I have been bringing my older cars here for almost 8 years & the only time I ever considered not coming was when Gil worked there. Mr. Rodriguez may not speak perfect English, but he is honest & fair & ensures you understand how he’s solved the problem. Gil was shady & I had to bring my car back twice for the same brake problem that he supposedly fixed. Now that he is gone, I am happy with Scott and Mr. Rodriguez & will continue to bring my cars to them in the future. For the value of an older car, there’s no better deal on the northside.
