I cannot say enough about Javier. As a woman it was difficult for me to find a mechanic that didn’t treat me like I was some kind of fool. I had a problem with my water pump last year and Javier fixed it for a THIRD of what other mechanics were quoting me. He is very honest, trustworthy, and frank about what really needs to be fixed on your car. I have been taking my Toyota Camry to him for about 2 years now and as long as I live in Chicago I won’t take my car to anyone else!

Javier is righteous. We’ve been bringing our cars to him for 6 – 7 years. He will tell you straight up not to spend money on a repair you don’t need, when he could easily make money fixing it. There are certain things they can’t do because they don’t have the computerized technology, but they will point you in the right direction. For most repairs you’d be smart to trust Javier.

Love this place! Bring cash and save your ass some $$$ on gas. Best gas prices anywhere around and the people are super friendly. Coffee isn’t bad either.

Javier and Ernesto are amazing! Very honest and trusted mechanics. I brought a car here that I was sure the alternator was bad. He could of charged for a bunch of labor and an alternator but the problem was a fuse to the alternator. Simple problem, simple fix! I will be sure to recommend others. It pays to have a trusted mechanic!

I have not had car service done here, but the gas price here is ALWAYS the best in town! If you pay cash, you get a slight discount. and NO… the price is not that cheap because you have to buy a car wash… I think that is SO shady of gas stations to post a really low price, but the pull the *will fill up and/​or car wash. Rude!

The service center here is unbeatable, and I am really wary to take my car in to get fixed in Chicago. They got me right in when I called and my car was fixed within the hour, and at a good fair price to boot. They weren’t rude or terse like other garages, who act like they are annoyed that you want to give them business. If you want the treatment of a small town garage in a big city, go here!!!

The gas price is usually lowest around, but the lines and the people in them can get really angry and rude because people jut in front of people who were there first, so sometimes it may be better not to get involved.
The real reason I like the place is because you can pull in and get a hand car wash, or you tire fixed and get back on the road where some other places are literally just gas stations. This place is like an old-​fashioned service station and I think that’s cool especially if every other place is closed and it’s the end of the day — you’re not stranded.

Three stars for cheap gas. Minus two stars for the poor layout which leads to backed up traffic on Howard and makes it nearly impossible to get in and out of the lot. This is definitely the cheapest gas in the immediate area, but we’ve found the frustration of waiting to maneuver in the parking lot is just too much. We’ve started going to Valero on Oakton and Asbury because it’s never very busy and the prices are always comparable to this Marathon.

Cheapest gas in the area! Always.
I’ve been here on two occasions when the gas has been sold out. SOLD OUT. Seriously. Unheard of. And two separate times. Craziness.
It’s always packed and it can be a bit annoying to navigate the line of people waiting to buy gas, but it’s always 15 – 30 cents cheaper than the stations nearby.
