This is an amazing garage. Davila is a master mechanic and very generous. All of his staff are polite and well-trained. I’ve been taking my cars to him for years and never a problem. Always great service with a small. The real OG.

Ive come here many times and I completely trust Davila to be honest and fair to me. The prices are good and the people are nice. Would recommend to anyone needing a new mechanic in the Pilsen area

Everything went great! I came in early this morning and everything has been great

Full disclosure I still haven’t taken my car out the shop I kinda of don’t want to but was informed it was ready for drive. However, my budget is evening out approaching the end of the month so i need a few more days as I just bought it and I need license plate, sticker and title. I’m aware it’s taking up valuable space and I don’t want it to be taking up valuable space at the Davila shop. I have another source of income coming in, a MasterCard that’s coming by mail. But hey so far I think they are great persons, I brought in a 97 Malibu I think that’s a hard car to hate: it got looked at the Davila mechanics discretion meaning they got involved and phew am I grateful for that since I got it towed there without a heads up. I wasn’t sure how to go about it when the car broke down as I was worried about being alright personally and not really focusing on the vehicle. I thought the Davila mechanics and staff helped and resolved everything with just two calls and showed total professionalism to the towing company.

Fantastic garage. My starter on my 2008 4runner died while visiting friend in Chicago and manager Jaime went the extra mile to get me back on the road again quickly. He even showed me the original oem starter which finally went. So quick, I am so happy to have my SUV back so quick... Thanks you guys and gals!

Great service great price I will be bringing my business to this shop from now on, thank you Davila Auto Service.

They did a great job. Properly diagnosed the problem for a lot less than a different nearby shop that wanted me to replace the whole engine.

Very good work on my 2011 Nissan in and out

They broke my hood release knob and im waiting to see if theyre going to fix it....other than that they fixed my car and prices were reasonable

This first experience I had at Davila’s I can’t ever forget:I first visited Davila because he’s a AAA directory mechanic. I have AAA, wanted the discount, and chose the mechanic closest to me. After that first job I came back a couple months later for a power steering leak.They remembered my name and the type of car I drive! I was so surprised. They treat me like family.This really stuck out to me.On top of that they’re just awesome mechanics.-VERY fast service-They always call to give you updates-High quality repairs-Davila will either point out other issues he sees or just fix them for you before he returns your car!-Great customer service. Gisella, who works the front, is very courteous and personableI have a 2007 Acura TL and my repairs tend to cost a bit more, but you get more than your money’s worth.Speed - 10/10Quality of repairs - 10/10Customer service - 10/10Price - Who cares? You’re always provided with high value.

AWESOME SERVICE FROM BEGINNING TO END...

Business like /friendly.My situation they needed too blows into intoxlock to get the car started. They wanted the car unlocked. So we couldnt do business? U have too blows thats what I was told!

My tire pressure light came on and I got worried right away (I am someone who has had many flat tires while driving so i slightly panicked). Luckily the first auto repair place I see was Davila Auto Service. Pulled in and Regugio looked at my tires, had someone put air in them and drove it around with me. Even showed me the PSI on the door in case I need to fill my tires up again next time this happens. He didn’t charge me anything for helping me and was extremely nice/helpful. Didn’t feel like he was just trying to get money from me like most mechanics make you feel. I will definitely be coming back here for future repairs I have! And from reading other reviews it seems this place is reputable :)

Refugio is honest and fair, his prices are good and Ive had other mechanics compliment the quality of his work when looking under the hood of my car! These guys are the real deal.

Fast and great service

The shop is dependable fast results to fix your vehicle. And reasonable prices I recommend this shop

Theyve worked on my vehicle look couple of times and theyve always been really thorough I thank them for that.

Great service! I have taken my 18 year old VW GTI there a few times and each time was fast reliable and honest. I do a lot of my own work on my car, but due to time restraints and not having the tools to replace my clutch and as well a blown out water pump and from there a full timing belt replacement... These guys did the work in below expected time frame and did good work. You will be taken care of here.

Went in for an oil change, now all my dash board lights are on. This place is an absolute rip-off. Not straight forward with what the problem is, they severely overcharged for a simple diagnostic test. And they refuse to show notes or parts list. Always ask them to give you any and all parts they claim to have replaced. I went in for a problem with my radiator. They said they replaced it and I was charged for a new one. They only changed the hoses, because the initial problem was a small leak do to wear and tear. The old radiator is still in my vehicle.I am definitely reporting them to the better business bureau.**update, its been less than one month since I had repairs done here, now the very hoses they repaired/replaced, have burst. Guess what, they are not honoring the supposed Guarantee, so Im being told that its gonna cost hundreds more.This place needs to be shut down.

Ive had both my cars there for oil changes and have been impressed with their friendliness and great service. They have the best prices in town and the customer service is excellent!

Wonderful guys! Theyve always given us excellent service. Their professionalism is second to none!

I took my car into Davila Auto Service when it wouldnt start on a very cold morning. I called ahead and the front desk answered. They were ready for me when I arrived and they quickly told me I need a new starter. My car now starts without any issues and the guys that work here are generally awesome.

These guys took care of my eurovan. Couldnt find someone that would work on that models air conditioning but these guys managed to fix it easily.

I took my car there to solve an emissions problem, left out with a bigger problem, they burned out my transmission and not to mention I had a full tank of gas when I gave them my car only to get it back on an empty tank 😣

Had a great experience with these guys. Refugio is really an auto repair specialist, hes really easy to reach, always answers the phones and answers your questions.

I had problems with my ignition sticking. It came to a point where I could no longer take my key out of the ignition. I did a quick search for mechanics near my home and found this place. Noticed that it was rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau and saw these reviews.I took my car in at 1:30 for a quote. The mechanic was not only friendly but explained to me exactly what the problem could be. Gave me a rough quote of anywhere between $150 - $300. Told me that they would probably have it done by end of the day, if not, tomorrow.Got a call at 5pm the same day. The mechanic told me that it was going to be $229 and it was ready! Ignition replaced, two new keys, coded, and its starting smooth.I really couldnt have been more pleased with this place. Would definitely go back.

Really great experience with these guys, I have a sprinter van that was having difficulty with the electrical system, turns out that it was just a fuse that had blown, I didnt even know that sprinters have fuses, Well they could have charged me an arm and a leg and I wouldnt have even noticed, but they ended up just charging me the diagnostic fee and nothing else. Highly recommended.

Refugio did a great job fixing my Accord, recently moved to the area and happy that I found someone to take care of me.

Great price. Recommend. You buy your own parts to cut cost. Credit cards accepted. Can work on all type cars. Oil change price is high go to jiffy lube.

Better for domestic cars than foreign cars, but overall theyre honest and reliable

Wanted to extend my gratitude to the mechanics here, reasonable prices and good turnaround time.

Great employees who did a great job on my van! Highly recommend them!

Been going to these guys for years, always have had a great experience

Owner usually answers the phone, the guys that he work with made sure that my car got fixed properly, thank you!

Recommended by a friend and was he right, Refugio is a super nice guy and he did my car righy

I went in for a low beam replacement. I asked the guy to check if it actually needed to be replaced or just reattached, as it was working correctly at the time. He said it would be $85, as he needed to remove 3 screws. I repeated his sentence, to make sure I heard that correctly and, yep, $85 for a 5 minute work. I flew out there, went to another shop 5 minutes away and paid $10. Huh, what do you know? Reviews coincide, thats what I know

A+ job by the guys that work here. Highly recommended if youre in the market for a repair guy

Recommended by a friend, they fixed my air conditioning really quickly.

Got these guys on speed dial as mechanic on my phone after the work that they did

One of the better auto repair shops that Ive visited

Had a pretty good experience with these guys.

Fair prices. It costs, but the work is solid. They will not fix what is not broken, and they actually fix anything that they bill you for.

They did a fantastic job on my car, it was quick and reliable. I would be happy to go to them again if Im in the area!

These guys have been in business for 30 years, you have to be doing something right to be in business for that long.

Can recommend this group of mechanics all day

Brought in for routine oil change, was in and out very quickly

I went in for an oil change and wait time was good

I personally not recommend this place these people trying to steal your money not fix you card so you guys dont take your car to the shop I took it for Diagnostic and they gave me a wrong one they say it was ECU and it will cost me 750 dollars so I decide to not do the job because it was was too expensive so I buy the computer for a 70 bucks and I pay $165 to do the programming but the problem never go away it still was the same problem nothing changed so I took my car to Honda dealer and they tell me exactly what I was thinking it wasnt the computer. So I took it back to the shop And they didnt want to cooperative

Great service, I was explained each procedure done by the mechanic working on my car. Nonsense and straight forward. Reasonable pricing.

Had to take my car back again after their repair but I understand that honest mistakes happen and the issue was fixed the second time

Refugio and his team will take care of you.

Please Donot take Your Vehicle Here! They charged 75 dollars to look at my car for an emissions test! Then he wanted to charge Me close to $800.00 just to fix my Car! I told him I would call him back then he called me back to try to do it for 800.00! I told him No I was going to pick up my car! He then asked me what was the Problem, I told him the price he then told me 650 he could do it for! THis Place I Dont Recommend!!!! I went elsewhere a man looked at it for Free and charged me 500.00 for the sameJob! my car passed the emissions Test successfully! I repeat DO NOT GO TO THIS MONEY HUNGRY 😋 PLACE!!!!!

Been going to visit Refugio and his mechanics for years, never had any issues.

Great service, the owner is honest, helpful and smart when it come to the best way to fix your car.

Disregard the fact that this place is a Triple A approved facility. This shop will hammer you almost twice the fee as any other auto shop...I suppose this is because you are entitled to 10% discount if you are with triple A. However, they will charge you exorbitantly for tests you have not authorized unless you agree to have your car fully serviced there. And triple A will hold you at ransom until you pay these people whatever amount, unknown to you at the time you call them to have your vehicle towed there, ask for; and triple a will not move your vehicle even if the price of your car is less than the price that they request to do a simple procedure (which costs half the price in many other shops). Even worse, even if you have been a loyal customer to Devila in the past, these people are still obstinate and stubborn in helping address your concerns. They will tell you one thing, and tell Triple A another. Be cautious of the other reviews. Some of them may have been written by biased individuals with an agenda.

Went to visit for auto body work which they werent able to do but these guys referred me to the right place

Refugio and the team took care of my toyota when I had an issue

Would suggest for general auto repair, I was worried about bringing my bmw here but they did a great job with a brake install.

Highly suggested, I went in to change my light bulbs because they burned out and the price was super reasonable despite the face that my car you need to remove the headlight or whatever

My new one stop shop, have visited them several times over the years and Refugio always took care of me

Being a knowledgeable car guy, I brought my car in due to some engine sputtering. I told the representative/mechanic that I had already changed the spark plugs, spark wires and I simply thought it was the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor that was dirty. I even gave him the engine codes from a scan I personally performed that pointed to this. He insisted that I still needed to pay the 65$ diagnostic fee. He assured me that what I offered where merely codes and guesses and that he couldnt fix the car until I agree to this diagnostic.I was in a hurry to get back to work (I was on lunch); so I agreed. I waited an hour, only to hear some bullshit about that my valves where out of sync with the motor, and that a special tool needed to be used to put them back in sync. I asked him, are you saying my timing belt jumped a tooth?, he looked puzzled and back tracked and said, not just some spacing is needed in the valves. I just wanted to laugh as I know this isnt possible. He then quoted me for 900$ to fix the problem. I then informed him why it was so expensive and he starts listing some parts I need to replace. He also stated my car was pretty new so he wanted to put OEM parts instead of aftermarket parts. This is my junker, its a 2002 honda civic 14 years old.. I paid 1,500 for it. There was no way I was about to pay $900.Heres the real kicker.. I told him that if he could let me look at the parts list, he wouldnt let me look at his notes.. I then stated what if I would buy the parts myself and bring them here to get them installed.. He then replied that if I did that, they couldnt guarantee the work.. I just smiled and had enough of them trying to take advantage of me.. I went back to my trusty mechanic that is unfortunately much further away (1 1/2 hours). And in the end I was right, it was simply a dirty MAF sensor that got fixed with a 10$ Can Cleaner. What a ripoff Avoid Davila Auto like the Plague.P.S.You should always use caution when the first word Honest Auto Repair shop is used by the owner to describe their business. Shops often try to use words to hide their actual motives. One last note, I spoke to them in Spanish which is the standard in this neighborhood. Usually speaking the lingo makes business realize they shouldnt try to scam you, as you may be a local. Nope I can only imagine if you are a girl or dont speak the language how badly they want to screw you. Sorry for long review but I hope it saves you the $$$ I lost with a useless diagnostic fee.

The service is great, great management and good honest work.

New to town so was unsure about who to go to but these guys are right by my house so I gave them a shot and im glad I did

This is the spot to go if you need your car fixed, was dealing with an electrical issue way beyond my scope and these guys fixed it.

Wouldnt recommend anywhere else, used car repair spots are generally not great but these guys took care of me

They wouldnt honor a deal I bought online and they are overpriced

My car was stalling and he told me it was my key fob, and that I needed a new sensor700 later he didnt fix a thing and gives me $200 back!After he stated full refund of he cant fix it.Wont be going back.!!!

They did a great job

Worked on my old Pontiac and was right as new in about a week. I kind of didnt maintain it at all and it was way past due.

Recommended to me by a friend

Davila is a honest man

Reliable mechanic shop

Very pricy and not very straightforward with prices

Ive come here several times over the years with random car problems and they seem to get the repair done right the first time and at a reasonable price too; theyve been a good honest shop to me.

Excellent overall

Good

Great service

Highly suggested

My car stopped on the traffic light, I had to get towed, they towed me and fixed the car. towing is only 60$. Car was acting same again so they fixed again without making up some extra charges. My point is that they are honest mechanic service and they wont overcharg you and made you pay more than you have to. Very happy with the service I got here and must say that JAMIE service advisor was very friendly and super helpful, he is the front face of the business and he is good in what he is doing. First time I go to service and I feel like it is your friends or family business. Highly recommend to take your car here, they are good,

Simply the best chicago mechanic workshop
