Went in for a much needed wheel alignment, ended up needing tie rods too. They ordered the parts and car was ready next morning. Very happy with how it drives now. Front office is very friendly as well. Would recommend and do business here again.

Theyve always provided great reliable service at an honest price. Wouldnt trust my work truck or anything else to a different shop besides this one.

Did a horrible job on a front end alignment and failed to notice two broken axles and that was what he specialized in. The ppl that worked in the office were the best. I am calling BBB, because their negligence could have caused the life of my family had the tires come off and flipped the car. People of color BEWARE!!!

The staff here and management tells you one thing and does another. Very unsatisfied with the service received. I now have to replace a tire because of poor towing, in which they told me they would replace for ruining it.

I took my car in to get the brakes fixed. They said it would b ready that day but definitely the next day, it was 2 days. I picked my car up, a few miles down the road my shell started to make a clanking sound and my steering was off. My tire fell off! My lug nuts were must have been hand tightened. Obviously I called Republic Frame and Axle. I told them what happened. They would not take the blame and have my car towed back to their shop. I had my car towed to a reputable dealer. I paid 160 for the tow and 220 for a new rim. This place is a ripoff.

Went in for new alternator and left with a broken parking break. Gary said it wasn’t their fault and will look at it but I would have to pay. Seemed odd they wouldn’t listen to my concerns about what happened to my car in their possession and basically told me nothing they could do. Will be taking my car somewhere else.

My truck broke down a few weeks ago and they came and gave me a tow exactly when they said theyd be there. They had me back on the road in no time at all! Thank you republic frame and axle! The mechanics and office staff were all very helpful and personable.

I had a rack and pinion done on my car there and I love the work that they do. The prices are reasonable, facility is nice and clean, the receptionist is extremely organized and the staff is very knowledgeable. I recommend anyone to try them out.

Review №18

I am appalled by the services performed by this shop, in particular, with the technician Gary. I have never encountered a more disrespectful and incompetent mechanic in my life. Happy to waste time and money on misdiagnoses and when confronted about unaddressed issues he evades and finally resorts to cursing and yelling at paying customers.This kind of unprofessional behavior and the lack of quality repairs will hurt this business as time goes on.There is enough is going on right now without the added stress and completely dishonest work on top of everything, few have the extra money to throw away on useless and time-wasting repairs, only to be toldthat another diagnosis is needed. This shop needs to hire a competent technician, until then its a total scam, buyer beware!

Review №20

This technician named Gary has a serious issue with doing the job correctly and seems to be scamming people of money.If you are given the task To fix a car and are payed to fix a car based on your diagnosis and you give the car back to the customer still not fixed and claim the car needs a different diagnosis than that is a scamNot a reputable business.What a disappointment to the automotive tech industry. You give good people a bad name.

I took my car in about a week and a half ago because it was making a winding noise. On the paperwork front desk lady wrote down reason for visit.. loud winding noise. I was told I would be contacted that day for a evaluation. It was day 3 before I finally received a call back. Guy named Gary said bad news, the noise is the transmission. Oh boy right.. have to do what I have to do though. He said he can get one installed for $1,200. Go ahead and do it I said. I didnt question what I thought was his expertise. Itll take about a week which I completely understood. He calls me when fixed and said all set. I return to pick up my car just to find out my car is making the same exact loud winding noise. I picked up after closing so wasnt able to talk to anyone. Whats worse is it was shifting gears really hard which it did not before at all. It feels like its going to break down everytime I drive it. I called back next day and talked to Gary. I told him nothing has been resolved and car is worse. He said he wasnt told about a noise prior to work even though I spoke to him directly about it. Now he said it was drive shaft. I said I paid $1,200 to not have my issue resolved and my car is driving worse. He give me the run around for several days and said there is nothing he can do about it! I asked if I could speak to the owner and he said he would an then get back to me. He never did even after calling him several times. Finally today I called once again. Again he said there was nothing he can do! I am positive he never even spoke to owner. After a brief heated discussion he said and I quote, I dont give a F*** and F*** you! Not only will I never go back but I have already posted my experience to a community website. I will continue to go on every review site I know and leave a review of what exactly happened. Please take my advice. Their reviews are pretty good overall but have recently gone downhill in a big way. I hope mine makes them hurt even more.

I hit a pothole and thought I had done a lot of damage to my car. They told me I only had a bent rim and needed an alignment. Work was done within an hour and the staff is kind, funny and honest. I have always had a good experience with Republic. Thanks Dan Ill be back but hopefully not too soon 😁😁.

Went there because the emission place in Portage said that I failed and the guy there name Mr. Gary informed me that my car was fine after checking it and didnt try to beat me out of some money like others do and told me to go right back to another lane after filling out the repair form and I passed with flying colors, thanks again Mr. Gary, oh and by the way, he didnt ask for a dime

Did alignment on motorhome. It was worse when they finished. Technician spilled a RED fluid in the motorhome on the carpet between driver and passenger seats, he tried to clean it up with paper towels and a cleaning spray. Ended up just rubbing it in, now Im left with a big red stain in my carpet. Called back to let them know that the alignment they did was not successful, got answering service because it was after hours. They never called me back. I feel like I was taken advantage of because I was just passing through town on vacation. If I was local, Id go in and raise hell. This business did not survive for 50 years by providing this type of service. Something must have changed and in my opinion they need a big course correction.

Review №47

A garage in Gary Indiana with a local government contract tow service and impound yard. They were honest with their repair estimates. The staff, though beleaguered with having to deal with the underprivileged and seedier element in the impound business, did make some modest attempt to be polite. The building was dreary, but well kept in general for South Chicago and especially Gary Indiana.

I called this place about Axles several times the mechanic sounds reluctant to do any work at all especially on axles maybe they should change their name. The mechanic on the phone said we dont really get into rebuilding axles more of a brake and tire shop and reffered me to Lances Drive shaft .

These guys really helped us out of a bind. The brake lines on our motorhome corroded and ruptured while visiting the area, leaving us with almost no brakes. Despite the short notice they were able to look at it. They found the problem and fixed it (installed new brake lines). I felt the price they charged me was very reasonable.

Total crooks. Get all of what you need from LKQ they give you parts and labor warranty, which means they paid for the part and it to be fixed on them. They have all prices from the low to the high.
