Craig’s Auto Service Center

I really appreciate the honesty, attention to detail, patience, and listening skills of everyone who works here including the owner, Craig. On my first visit I realized that its Unilocal rating is more than deserved.

Craig’s Auto has been our auto shop for 15 years — everything from domestic cars to imports. In addition to doing all of the regular maintenance work at Craig’s (oil changes, tires, etc.) we have used Craig’s for minor and major repairs. We are ALWAYS pleased with the results.
Who staff is wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. They do offer courtesy rides to the Lisle Metra train station (and pick-​ups too just coordinate ahead of time).
Pricing is very reasonable. Nothing get’s done until you approve it.

We have been going to Craig’s for several years. They always offer to give us rides and are very nice. Being a mechanic can be hard because it is often a process to figure out what is wrong. Craig and his team always keep us notified and on top of what’s going on with our car.
Today, we tried to jump start our car (our daughter left the light on for 4 days!) It didn’t work with a regular jump so we called to ask about a warranty for a battery. Kerry answered and said he didn’t want me to have to pay for a tow. He spoke with Craig and they sent someone to our house to charge our battery. They didn’t even charge us for this, but of course we gave the guy a tip.
I completely recommend this place. They take care of you!

They have always been honest, do a great job at saying what needs to be done and what doesn’t. My dad has been going here for many many years, and they have my loyalty as well. They know me and know my car — and I can count on them to fix my car’s problems.

Great customer service the right way: not via cute waiting rooms & free coffee. These guys give you knowledgeable mechanics who don’t try to sell you things you don’t need.
This is our go-​to place for our two cars.

I always have a great experience at Craig’s. I feel they are honest and do great work. Never like the high pressure situations you get a Firestone or quick change oil place. I have been to many garages over the years, and have finally found a place where I feel comfortable taking my car for an honest opinion.

Was at the gas station this morning and my dog locked himself in the car while I was pumping gas. I immediately panicked and ran inside, unnecessarily frantic. The woman in the front was so kind, let me come in the back and use the phone and was also trying to tell me it was OK! I probably looked insane, in all fairness.
They let me use their phone then Kevin, one of the staff at the Auto Service Center, came out with a bag of tools and helped pry open my door. In all, it took 15 minutes and they saved me from calling a locksmith. It was a busy rush hour morning but everyone I dealt with was so kind when I was being a hot mess. Good people, good service!

It is unfortunate that I have to write is review, because Craig is a really nice guy but I must go on the service I received on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While the customer service was ok, I am very disappointed in the they ripped me off on parts.
I brought my car in for heater problems, They explained that my blower resistor had gone bad which from my own research i figured as much. Here is where the problem comes in, they charged me $ 155 for a new Blower motor resistor and another $ 50 for blower motor resistor connector.
I am not a car guy so I try to trust mechanics especially ones that have 5 stars on Unilocal,but when i came home to do some research I found that those same blower motor resistors were $ 50 which means I was overcharged by $ 100. I called back and questioned why they were so much and they explained that it was because I had automatic heat and A/​C so it was actually a module I bought. So again I did research and i found the same Blower motor resistors w auto controls in the range of $ 50-​$ 70, which tells me i was still way over charged.
This is my first time writing a review, I will not every do business with this company again, in my opinion they don’t have the customers best interest at heart and will buy the most expensive parts they can find. Not a good way to do business in my opinion.

Best place you can go. These guys are honest, fair and helpful. As the other reviewers have said, they don’t do unnecessary work. I’ve been bringing cars there for 10 years and always felt I was treated fairly.

I have lived in Lisle since 1980 and finally have knowledge of a garage that does honest work at a fair price. A far cry from the Midas the put a hole in my rack-​and-​pinion system, the Merlin that did a brake job that somehow made my brakes worse, and the place on Ogden near Pete & Johnnys that supposedly tuned my car only to have me have every other place that looks at it tell me it’s never had a tune-​up… and at less than half the price of the dealership.
I wish that places like those would learn what Craig’s Amoco knows: Treat a customer fairly. Just once. And they’ll come back. I will only use Craig’s Amoco from here on out. Try them and you’ll go back too.

We have used them to work on our cars, and to do a used car pre-​purchase inspection. We always feel that we have been treated honestly and fairly. They don’t «create» work that doesn’t need to be done just because they can — example: we brought a car in to have spark plugs checked and were told that they did not yet need to be replaced. Estimates have always been spot-​on and in one case the total was slightly lower (maybe only $ 10, but something is better than nothing!)
