G & G Automotive

We had our winter tires/​rims delivered here and came in to have them swapped in. Very fast, friendly and professional service, and at a great price too!
We’ll definitely be back!!!

Phet is our car guy and I’m so glad. He always does great work and he’s always open and clear about everything he’s doing. I recommend him to all my friends. Thanks for everything, Phet!

I’ve been going to G & G for several years and they always provide great service and are straight with you.

Phet and his staff are excellent! They are honest and fair with their prices and the quality of their work. It’s great that they are in the neighborhood.

I’ve been going here for a a few years and with different cars (Japanese and German). Phet (owner) and his employees have been honest and communicative with me.
Its nice to be able to pick up the phone, call the shop, talk with him and get an idea of what repairs might be and the time-​frame of repairs. And since I work in the area, they are able to drop me and pick me up at work while my car is being serviced.

I highly recommend G & G to anyone in need of auto service. Phet is very professional, honest and knowledgable. I’ve been to many repair shops and G & G is by far the best!

I have been taking all my cars to G & G Automotive for the last 10 years. I have never had a complaint as of yet. Many times they have come to my house to pick up and drop of the cars. Fet and his staff will go the extra mile to get the job done. It is hard to find good honest workshops.

Down the street from my work, quick, knowledgeable, and honest. Good prices. Can’t ask for more. Thanks!

First time customer and will definitely be back. Phet was great! Knowledgeable and helpful and provided fast service at a great price.

My family and I have been taking our cars here for numerous years from services ranging from standard oil change, brakes, tune-​up, tires, and etc. Amazing service and great communication. Phet is honest about the price, which is very reasonable, and what have to be done to the car. No extra bullsh*t or fluffs. We couldn’t be any happier with the services.

Best kept secret in the universe. So helpful. So reasonable. Wonderful experience.

Do not go here, way overpriced and a lot of trickery talk. $ 90 for a new battery, but he thinks he can save it by trickle charging mine over night, ok fine. $ 50 bucks to charge it! WTF, really. If I had known that I would have just said put in a new one, dickhead. Oh and lets not forget to mention the recommended tow company who pulled me 4 miles for $ 125 dollars, uh ok really. I worked shop for 7 years and I know this is complete BS. The only good thing about this experience is the tow truck driver mentioned a guy in Northbrook who opened up a shop. Turns out I used to work with with this guy. He opened a shop called Daddio’s Garage. Tony is an amazing mechanic I worked with for a very long time. So if you need work done and it’s in the area I’d recommend going there all day over this rip job.
I do like the name Fett because it reminds me of Boba Fett, but he was a dirty bounter hunter, so there’s that.
P.S Feed your fish and clean your tank they are dying.

Just took my car back for additional repairs and they were great! They are honest and affordable and I never feel like I’m being ripped off. I live in Chicago now near several auto repair shops, but I still prefer going to G & G for my car. They are totally worth it!

One of the only honest and reasonably priced auto repair shops left. Phet, the owner of this shop, will actually show you the broken part or take time to explain what is wrong with your vehicle. He even calls you back after a few weeks to see if you’re satisfied with the work that was done. They do quality work in this garage and you never leave feeling ripped off.

Honest, straightforward, did what I expected when I expected it.
Brought in wife’s five year old Toyota, asked them to figure out why idiot light was on. They said I only needed an oil change, even though I gave them the opening (testing ‘em!) to tell me other stuff had to be fixed. They didn’t take the bait — just said ‘oil change’ and no other issues with the car.
Had them do the oil change, and was pleased that they didn’t pressure me to do more or make up issues that didn’t exist to pad their pockets. Nice to find an honest car shop, since I always feel taken advantage of by the dealers.
I’ll be back, thanks guys!

G&G do a great job of making you feel comfortable while most other companies do all they can to take advantage of you. That’s just not the case here.
From the start, they kept me in the loop with everything and actually said that some services weren’t necessary at all.
Make sure to at least give them a call next time your in need of a mechanic. They won’t let you down and you can finally say «I gotta guy!»

Great garage, we’ve had 5 star experiences there, and would love to go back.
But, they have a habit of overbooking and canceling at the last minute. Last year, they gave us a discount when they asked us to reschedule. Yesterday, they left a cancellation message with a promise to call to reschedule. But it was after we’d already left the house. We got to the garage at the scheduled time, but the garage was deserted. We waited for awhile. No one called to explain or reschedule.
Clearly, they are busy enough, so we’ll go elsewhere.

I now see why G&G consistently gets 5 star reviews. My experience comes only with speaking with a representative (Seth) who provided me with an estimate for fixing a timing belt, water pump and thermostat. Seth was very honest in letting me know the details of what goes into replacing the parts on my VW Jetta and was transparent in letting me know that G&G Automotive typically won’t fix timing belts on VW due to misc parts/​hoses being replaced. He instead recommended someone in the area that specialized in VW, and also gave me a thorough estimate for each part.
There are not a lot of Automotive shops that have this stellar background of customer service, but I am glad to know one exists. I will definitely consider them next time I am looking for service for any of my cars.

How often do you see a car shop with TWENTY reviews that are ALL 5 stars? I’ve never seen that in all my Unilocaldom days. The reason why G&G has positive review aafter review is simply because they are awesome. Phet is the center of all the awesomeness. He is the most honest, most knowledgeable and overall just a friendly, good car guy.
I first came to G&G when I lived just a block away in Skokie and my landlord recommended Phet and G&G. He has always been completely honest about what really needed repairs and not adding in extra things here & there and telling me what just had to be done (which really didn’t) in order to drive up the bill — a practice many car shops are known for. He may sometimes say, I’d recommend you do both sides because of this, that and the other, but you really only need the right side done right now. You simply don’t get this kind of honesty anywhere else. I’ve even have him give me an estimate in the past & then end up lowering the bill when payment time came because it didn’t need all the work done he originally predicted!
I moved to Schaumburg 3 years ago and I still make the drive to Skokie when I need work done on my car because Phet is just awesome. I went just last week to get some work done and the guys had to take several test drives to diagnose exactly what was wrong with my car. In the end I got the work done with Phet working with me on pickup & dropoffs due to my work schedule and my car is now running perfectly!
I recommend G&G to everyone I encounter that needs something done on their car and I will continue going back!

I had been looking for an auto repair place for a while. Thanks to Unilocal,I tried G&G and was extremely happy with the knowledgeable, respectful service.
They explained what was wrong and fixed it quickly and for an honest price.
Thanks Unilocalers for helping me find a repair shop.
