Pit Pros

Best place for oil changes in the Evanston area. Never try to upsell you and they are quick and courteous. The owner is always working do you know he cares about his business. I always have and will continue to go here for service.

I’ve been going here several years for oil changes; the owner is always working as well; I believe he cares about his business and his customers. Have always had courteous and fast service. To me this place doesn’t look like Midas at all.

I’ve been going here for years. Great guys, great service, great price. Always in and out. They will turn off oil change warning lights. Never try to up sell you.

I been a long time customer for 19 years and they are the most kind and honest oil change place I love to bring my car too. I love the fast paced oil service money can buy th Bly downfall is parking can be tight in that area, but it has no stopped m from going.

I was in and out for an oil change ($ 26) in 15 minutes on a Friday afternoon. It was one of the quickest services I’ve had in a long time. Finally, they did not try to up-​sell any service or maintenance to me throughout my service encounter.

this is where I’ve gone for years, for my (non-​exotic) oil changes. they aren’t overly pushy with the additional services.

I have been going to this place for several years and have recommended it to all my friends and relatives. They are super polite, professional, and quick! I don’t know what more you can wish for the very reasonable price they charge! Love this place and highly recommend it.

I’m sorry to read Jenny’s experience and I understand her frustration, but I’ve been going to these guys for so many years and I go to them because they are trustworthy. Meaning, I’ve gone to Jiffy Lube and the Dealer for an oil change, only to be told I need a $ 300 power fluid flush. It was a new car. This place was then recommended to me by a friend who works on cars as a hobby after I explained I can’t find a trustworthy place. This place has never tried to sell me that stupid power fluid flush and I’ve never needed one. I’m sorry Jenny had that experience and I guess the next time I’m there I’ll suggest they put up a sign that says «We are not Midas.» I actually get my car fixed at that Midas as they are also trustworthy, but I assumed (I guess wrongly, I don’t really know) that they didn’t do oil changes, but probably gave that business to the Pit Pro shop. I don’t know what their agreement is, or if there is one. There’s also another shop across the street so I don’t know how these guys survive such tight competition. All I know is both the Midas shop and the Pit Pro shop are where I go because I know I won’t get ripped off. Jenny’s right in that it’s a confusing setup that needs to be clarified, and they should clarify things, but you’ll also never get a story that you need a $ 300 power fluid change.

I’ve gone to Pit Pros for many years, and never had anything but fast and ultra-​polite service, and for a price much cheaper than many quick-​lube places. Can’t understand how the reviewer above missed the fact that there is a totally separate office for Pit Pros, with signage and everything!

(in)conveniently located on the same corner as Midas (they’re connected), I took my car in for an oil change. Their sign is rather small, and so when I drove in, I didn’t notice it at all and assumed the building was all Midas owned. Never assume, it will always make an a*s out of u and me. *sigh*
Drove up, told them I wanted an oil change, showed them my Midas coupon, made sure they knew a free tire rotation was included, and away they went. As I waited in the sitting room (for all of 3 minutes), I began to look around, suspicious that in fact, they might not be Midas, since I didn’t see any branding. By the time I got up to ask, they were done with the oil change, and gave me the bill.
I couldn’t believe they’d rotated my tires as well, so I asked to make sure. «Oh, we don’t do tire rotations,» he said. «Is this Midas?» I asked. «No, we take competitor’s coupons,» said he without batting an eye. My guess is that people mistake them for Midas all the time, since he didn’t look shocked at all.
«But my coupon specifically says an oil change and tire rotation for $ 20, and Midas would have done that for me,» I explained.
«We don’t do tire rotations. You can get it there next time.»
I would have been fine if they had fulfilled the coupon’s services, then charged the same price, or if they had at least told me that they don’t do tire rotations up front so I could have gone elsewhere. But no, they didn’t. Bad business practices, and dishonest people, imho.
Fast service, maybe. Shady business and cheating people, most definitely.
Needless to say, I won’t be going back.
