I Can Fix This

Idk much about cars, previous to this visit, the most I could do was change a tire and a tail light assembly. But this time my radiator cooling fan needed to be replaced. After being quoted ridiculous prices from other places I found «I can fix this» I looked up the instructions via YouTube on how to do it, pulled up, and got to work! At times I got a little stuck, or was unsure how to unplug something (it gets complicated being under a car) Don was right there to help. It took me 3hrs to complete the job! He even let me know what else needed fixing down the line. When I’m ready, I will definitely be back for round two but for right now Dale, thank you for helping me! And to spend $ 50 was just the icing on the cake!

This place is great. Dale is so helpful and I couldn’t be happier. Hes got great rates and has an ass ton of knowledge. I am already going back to do some more work.

I wanted to give the place 4 starts but the owner was soo helpful and great. The place could’ve been a little more organized but I got and found everything I needed.

Fixing your own car can be a drag, but sometimes that’s what is required. There are plenty of places to rent space from but there is only one Dale. He’s smart, friendly and helpful. You don’t need to put off fixing your car. With youtube and various other sources, you can fix a large range of problems yourself. With Dale, you can feel confident that you can do it.
Thank you Dale for all of your help!

Great rates and the owner is onsite and very helpful while in the garage. Any questions I had related to the car and my repair he was knowledgeable about and had the right solution.
Great rates at $ 15/​hr. Take note it’s a auto garage. The person with the negative review below should have spoken up. You’re there to fix a car, it’s a not a concierge.
Only facility of it’s kind in Chicagoland. I would highly recommend for any Auto DIY.

Considering this was my first DIY, Dale has been very helpfull in selecting the appropriate tools and the complex procedures. Appreciate the honest help Dale !.

Had to replace the compression rod on my G35 because of a loose ball joint. Upon removing all the nuts and fasteners, the compression rod wouldn’t come out. The compression rod bushing had rusted onto the stud. With Dale help and his torch we were able to break the bushing off the rusted stud and I was able to install my new compression rod. The knocking noise went away. Without Dale help I don’t know how I would have been able to get the compression rod out. Will bring my cars there again for repairs.

I went to this place because I wanted to replace the stabilizer links and to service the engine oil cooler (replace gasket). I was quoted $ 300.00 in labor elsewhere and I was able to do all the work myself (With help from Dale) for less than ¹⁄₃.
Dale was so helpful throughout the process and it felt great to work on my own car while having all the professional tools and help I needed. I was given the wrong filter by a guy at Advanced Auto Parts, but Dale ordered a replacement for me and it was delivered at the shop. I definitely will go back!
TIP: Make sure to call before you head there, otherwise you may find the shop not open.

Having just moved to an apartment I lost my garage. A buddy of mine told me I should check this place out so I did. Upon entering I was greeted with a hello from the lady behind the desk and that was it. I was there for a good two or three minutes with no further conversation, nothing. I guess Facebook was a little more important than a possible customer. I left and have no plans on going back.

This place was a GODSEND! I needed to do some underbody work on my 1964 Ford Fairlane to fix some leaks before sending it in for custom interior work. I searched far and wide for anywhere that would rent out bays/​lifts but there is absolutely nothing where I live (Wheaton) and I’m not about to pay a mechanic to up charge me on routine maintanence. After a quick Google search I found out about I Can Fix This in Gurnee. I called immediately and reserved a bay.
When we got their Dale, the owner, was super friendly and funny. He got us in right away and we got to work. Dale had some other work he was doing but was never too busy to lend a hand, give advice, or grab us some parts. Also he had a local car parts store deliver a part for us so we didn’t have to leave to get it. We got all of our work done and I couldn’t be happier. I really wish Dale would open a shop in the west suburbs!
The price is very reasonable and you’ll be surrounded by friendly folks all willing to help out and talk, plus you get to hang with Dale. No matter where you’re at its worth the trip if you want to do your own work for muh cheaper than going to a mechanic, although if you’re a novice Dale is always willing to do the work for you (for a fee). Make sure to stop by there and get some work done!

Awesome place. Dale, the owner/​operator, was really accommodating and helpful. Super nice guy and really knows his stuff. I consider myself somewhat mechanically inclined, but I’m pretty new to DIY work on my Pathfinder, but Dale didn’t hesitate in discussing potential problems and fixes on my SUV. I highly recommend I Can Fix This if you have the knowhow and the ability to do work on your own vehicle.

This is a great shop DIY or you can have Dale do the work for you at a fair price compared to dealership and other shop. Just had Dale replaced timing belt/​water pump on my Sienna and he did a fantastic job. The cost was very reasonable and I will be taking my other cars to Dale from now on.

This place is GREAT, the lifts work flawless. All the tools you need are there. Dale is very good on car repairs. If there is a bay open call and find out, do you car repair on your skills,

I searched on line for a garage that would let you work on your own car. i found this business on Unilocal.there are not any other ones out there i could find. called and made an appointment. the owner was really helpful on the phone and even more helpful during my repair. i went originally to just replace the passenger cv half axle which had started to click (sign of failure). the owner, Dale, put the car up on the lift, showed me how it needed tie rod ends (a lot of play side to side when wheels were moved) and offered to order the parts to be delivered. i agreed. i am not an experienced mechanic and only had looked up how to replace the axle. Dale guided me through (did half) the tie rod replacement (could not have done it without him) and after that did a rough alignment, which is needed when tie rods are replaced. tools including impact tools are there available for you to use, even an inner tie rod tool, not something i even knew existed before i went there, not something a non mechanic would have, inner tie rod replacement job would be almost impossible without. very friendly atmosphere. great experience. highly recommend. very reasonably priced.

A great, reasonably priced place to rent a bay and tools and fix your car. As previous reviews mentioned, the owner, Dale, couldn’t be nicer and more helpful. He called his parts dealers to help us when it turned out the job might require more than we thought it would.
Highly recommended.

This place is great! If you like working on your car this place has lifts and all the tools. Also the owner is really nice and will help you out if you get stuck.

This place lets you rent a repair bay with lift for a very reasonable price. Bay rental also includes all of the tools you’d need. I came here to do some basic maintenance on my Honda (brakes, transmission fluid). I’ve done brakes before, but it was about 9 years ago and my memory was rusty. I couldn’t have done it without the assistance of the owner, Dale. He is a huge asset. He genuinely likes working on cars, and he spent over an hour coaching me to make sure things got done right (and didn’t charge me a dime for the extra help). I saved a ton of money versus taking my car to a repair shop. Seriously, if you can watch a youtube video and turn a wrench, you can work on your own car with a little help from Dale.
