Larry’s 66 Auto Repair

Worst encounter I have ever had for a bmw repair. They are liars and cheats and do not ever answer the phone or call back. They did an estimate over the phone and were recommended by a friend so I had car towed there. Car was there for 5 days, never even let me know car had arrived. It took me 2 weeks to get a phone call that the real cost to repair it was triple what I quoted. They were hundreds of dollars higher than bmw. Then I received a call that they had called the police (which I was told was a buddy) and that I had 24 hours to tow it out of there or they were going to dispose of it and call it abandonment. When I spoke to the same police officer he stated that he had never met the person that called and it clearly was not a case of abandonment. Be careful they are liars, cheats and took advantage of a single mother and thought I would agree to there ridiculous quote because the car was already there. Car being towed to bmw and will be fixed properly. Beware. !!!

I took my car into the Fletcher Jones Honda on Clark in Chicago for a 90,000 mile maintenance check. The guys there said I needed 4 new tires ASAP along with new brakes, rotors and some other bs. I smelled the bs and looked at the $ 3,500 estimate and got the hell out of there quick!!! I could just tell that they were trying to take all my money, so I took my car to Costco to get new tires (b/​c I did agree that I needed new tires and I think Costco has great prices on tires). After getting the new tires, I did not know that Costco only puts the new tires on… they don’t check anything else or guarantee that they don’t break anything. So, afterwards my car had a bad noise coming from the rear wheels. I thought they messed up my suspension or something worse…
So, I took it over to Larry’s 66 and they inspected the car. They looked at what was making the noise. They looked at the brakes. And, they looked at the Honda Maintenance guide for 90,000 miles and did their thing. In all, the noise was just a broken/​rusted out spring which was caused by going up on the lift at Costco. I only needed new brakes in the front. They said I had at least another year for the rear breaks. They also performed the 90,000 mile maintenance. In all I think it cost me about $ 250 to $ 300…
This is not the only time that I have gone here. They have also serviced my Audi several times.
Overall, these guys are the most honest mechanics I know. I trust their opinion greatly and know that they will never do me or anyone wrong. I highly recommend using them for any/​all car repairs. Even if you just want a second opinion, go there. They will give you the honest truth of what needs to be done to keep your car running and prevent any further issues.

Midas told me I needed $ 1,800 worth of «repairs» so I came Larry’s 66 Auto after hearing a stellar recommendation from a coworker, for a second opinion. Turns out my car needed no work. Good, honest mechanics like the ones here are worth their weight in gold!
