Velasquez Mufflers & Brakes

Went in to get my muffler replaced. They said they just needed to weld it, no need to replace. I also thought my brake calipers were bad, but the mechanic told me that the calipers were fine, just needed a little bit of foam on the outer edge of the brake pads. Very honest and easy on the wallet ! I’m definitely going back there for my future car repair needs.
5 stars for the service, price and honesty. Keep it up guys !

I thought I needed a new muffler so on Friday I stopped by Velasquez Muffler & Brake in Waukegan.
Business was slow so they got me in right away. Told me my muffler was fine, but the connection to the exhaust pipe had deteriorated. They cut the bad part away and welded a new sleeve into place.
Honest, prompt, reasonable. Highly recommended!

This place has THE BEST labor prices around. They are very willing to work with you and provide honest, no BS service. They’re not as fancy as your car dealer maintenance shops but who the fuck needs fancy waiting areas when you’re getting your car fixed for almost half the price of other places. I love coming here. The cute young lady (Evie) at the front desk is knowledgeable and merciful. You may bring your own parts with you without getting a stink eye. If you find a better shop, it’s probably a Velasquez & Sons at another location! I HIGHLY recommend to fellow military folks!
Quick update: THIS PLACE ROCKS! Just got 10% off of my service. Woohoo!

Went here to get my catalytic converters replaced they noticed something else that was wrong and fixed it up at no cost. Ordered my part dropped my car off the next morning got a call a mere 2 – 3 hours later that it was done. Got my car fixed and come to find out there was something else off [a sensor or something like that] that was saved and fixed yet again at no additional cost plus i received a coupon for 10% which saved me nearly $ 80! Highly recommended!

I have been going here for the last 10 years. Why? Because they do quality work and it costs about half of what they charge you down in Northbrook, Highland Park, Wilmette, etc. It’s worth the drive up to Waukegan. Not to mention that they are honest. If possible, they will resurface your rotors instead of making you buy new ones. If you do have to buy parts, they don’t put a ridiculous markup on them. They put a custom dual exhaust on my classic car for a price that’s too low to disclose here. I also brought in my truck for front-​end work, and they replaced a whole bunch of steering components for a great price. My wife brought in her car because the brakes were squeaking and they just cleaned something and sent her on her way — no charge. Need I say more?
