Marquette Frame & Wheel Alignment

The best mechanic shop ever in Chicago! They are the most honest people that I have ever dealt with!!! They are the best because when I brang a few cars the was conserned about frame damage and they were honest and telling me if it is fixable. I have also had my brakes and front end work done there to and they were honest enough to tell me streight up if I needed the parts now or I can wait, I have been comming to this place for many years I would highly recommend this shop to all my family and freinds top notch company!!:))):))

2 different repair places told us our car was unfixable due to the rusted frame. The 2^nd place said the only ray of hope would be to take it to Marquette Frame & Wheel Alignment. We had already started searching the internet for another car tho we really didn’t want to buy one at that time. Marquette did the magic & fixed the car, amazingly fast and at a reasonable price. That was back in August and we’ve had no problems since.

My son took his car in and they did a fabulous job! Did a good deal of work and finished it at $ 150 under estimate! Definitely recommend. Just get past the moody receptionist. Not a people person lol.

This my second review for a SECOND car I’ve owned and Im STILL pleased with their work and prices.
I have a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. My brakes were so bad that they were screaming, well past whistling. I went in on a Friday morning and was about 2^nd or 3^rd in line.
What I love about them is that they are honest about what work you need, what is minor and what is major, also how long it will take them to complete the work. I’m just now finding out that they will pick you up and drop you off. I may utilize that next visit because as great as they are, the waiting area ambiance inst much exciting. lol
Long Story short, I got front brakes, rotors, and pads, back brakes and pads (rotors were salvageable) for $ 379 including tax and labor. 1 year warranty on all parts.
I received so many quotes from other places and I couldn’t believe that I got all of that work done for such a reasonable price.
They even put a quart of oil in the car for me. Y es I needed an oil change too lol.
After 2 years and 3 visits. I highly recommend Marquette Frame & Wheel to Everyone. I

Play by play:
Walked in half hour after they opened. Parked in front of the garage bays, didn’t see any designated customer parking.
Asked for an alignment, gentleman behind the counter was curt with «What model?» and prices. Apparently they have prices for just the front, the back, and both.
Estimate: Damn. My suspension needs serious work, it’s going to cost a lot. I’m not suspicious though; good Unilocal ratings so far and I’ve had a feeling the suspension needed work. I approved the work. They gave me a free ride back home!
They called ½ hour before closing, said they would be finished 15 min. after closing.
All the work was explained, mechanics test drive vehicle, everything seems great.
1 Day Later:
Car’s pulling slightly to the right. I’ll go back and ask them to check it out. Will update once that visit’s over. No problems anticipated.

These guys are great, HONEST and very thorough. I got a bunch of stuff done for under $ 300 that another shop quoted for $ 650. They do charge $ 25 for an inspection but will take I out of your balance if you get the work done within 2 weeks.

Worst customer service ever. Didn’t even made it to the store. VERY RUDE over the phone. If you want to charge $ 93 for an alignment. at least have a good customer service, so customer do not mind coming in.

I’m surprised I’m the first person to review this place! I had a good experience here. I found out about them by calling local auto shops and asking them where they’d recommend getting an alignment. I was glad for the recommendation since I was almost screwed at another place…
To make a long story short, I needed an alignment because my car started pulling to the right side after I got it serviced (just an oil change and front brake pads) at Teloloapan. I brought it back there and said «Hey man, it wasn’t pulling to the right before, what gives?» Teloloapan charged me something like $ 30 to check the alignment, then told me it was going to cost somewhere around $ 325 or more to align the wheels, which included the cost of making the holes on the struts larger at a cost of $ 75 per wheel. «Old cars like this usually need this done on all 4 wheels,» they told me. I told them no thanks, let them keep the $ 30 and went home… something just didn’t seem right to me.
So I called a few auto shops and they recommended Marquette Frame & Wheel Align.
Marquette was exactly the opposite kind of experience. They «miraculously» were able to align the car perfectly for somewhere around $ 100 and didn’t need to widen any of the holes on the struts. They also showed me that my right rear bearing was in bad shape and needed to be replaced. I had been hearing some rumbling noises and didn’t think much of it, but that’s what it was. Thank goodness they caught it or I would have been in a lot of trouble on the expressway…
A couple of weeks later I noticed that the car was still pulling, except this time to the left, and not nearly as bad. I brought the car back to Marquette and rechecked. It turned out that the pull was in the tires (crappy tires!) and when they rotated the front to the back, the problem went away. They looked at it free of charge the second time and fixed the problem, even though it wasn’t their fault.
So yes, I recommend this place. It might be a little out of the way if you live on the north side, but they’re good dudes and for me it’s worth the drive.
