Santiago is a kind gentlemen, an honest businessman, and a knowledgeable mechanic. These qualities are hard to come by in the same person in car mechanics these days as it seems. Costs of fixes are always reasonable. Labor is $100/hr and seems like they don’t even charge for diagnostics. He’s helped me diagnose things that he thought wasn’t necessary at the moment, and just charged me for my oil change. Nobody is perfect though - there was a complicated EVAP issue which required me to come back quite a few times for him to finally figure out the root cause, but he was so kind and helped me out by charging me minimal hours of labor as compared to the time he and his team had actually put in. Other places would easily charge you the full amount not even until the issue is fully resolved.

Fast and friendly service for a good price!!! I paid a lot less than I thought I would!!! Owner is super nice!!! Top notch service!!!

Santiago is an honest gentleman who will have your vehicle fixed/ maintained in no time! I recommend his shop for all your car needs!

One of my favorite things about this shop, is the professionalism the owner and his son have. They get to the point, dont sugar-coat anything, and are honest about whats going on with your car. The work they do is a plus. Quality. If youre in the Melrose, Stone, Schiller, Franklin, etc. area, Id recommend True Family Auto.

Pleasant staff and owner. Affordable services. Quality workmanship.

Extremely helpful service and knowledgeable mechanics who are willing to explain what is needed.

Very professional & friendly customer service, and very quick and reliable auto repair.

Excellent customer service and detailed information on work being done ✅

Am always satisfied by these guys services. They are kind, hardworking people. They know how to treat their clients very well and very good prices!

I stopped in for a check engine light and Santiago helped me out. They are pretty nice will return to have the work done that my truck needs done.

Santiago was kind enough to mention my name in the story of how his shop started over 20 years ago, we have known each other for 25 years or so. He is in a class of very special people whose character was set by early life experiences that molded the consistency with which he treats people. As his website explains, confidence, honesty and integrity are the corner stones of his business. Enjoy the treatment!!!

The owner and mechanics are very friendly, more importantly they are knowledgeable in auto repair. Never had any issue after leaving, and they are very trustworthy. Prices are very fair.

My family and I have been taking our vehicles to True Family Auto for a few years now and we have never been disappointed. The staff is great! Super friendly and helpful. They are always honest and try their hardest to get us the best prices on parts and labor. Highly recommended!

Excellent place really friendly people and honest! Hard to find a good mechanic that you can trust today.. Thank you for your excellent customer service..

My first time here I found these guys on my own Santiago is the best! Great customer service I needed to pass my emissions test and he worked with me for the best prices so I could pass I am very happy with the service and my car is running great I definitely will be back to get some more work done I have found myself a new mechanic!

First time coming here today, and so far I have no complaints. Everyone is very friendly, and the prices are not bad. I think I will be coming back again if I ever need any work done on my car.

This review is way long overdue. I have known this family operated business for close to 6 years now and it started when I failed my emission test. Santiago and his crew took care of me, gave me reasonable quotes on what needs to be fixed, and they got the job done. They are very friendly and really cared about their customers and their vehicles. I wish every mechanic is as honest and as trustworthy and as intelligent as Santiago. He is a man of integrity and I can see his passion in helping out people being his top priority. Ive referred a ton of my friends to him and they all have had a positive experience with him and the work he did to their cars.

Warm-hearted and transparent, the couple who owns the shop are really amazing people. Ive gone here for a long time and Im always treated like family. Theyve taken care of issues quickly and cost efficiently which is exactly what I need.

Santiago and his team are really the best. I feel comfortable taking my cars, they know what my cars need and they are able to prioritize for me an action plan of what my cars need. They take care of my cars and take care of my family.

Another great experience! Customer service is outstanding. I am never disappointed. Prices are very good. I make them my first priority in car servicing!

My first time bringing my car to them was yesterday afternoon and they had me back on the road pretty fast...in few hours I was good to go. Great customer care and service. Will be recommending True Family Auto.

Loving, caring, reliable, trustworthy and friendly people that you can count on, for your car care and beyond. Simply The Best!!! Highly recommended.

I been going this place for 20+ years. This place is family owned and they know what they are doing. I recommend this place to all mothers women and daughters. They will explain everything about whats going with your vehicle all the way down to the smallest detail.

Santiago and family are great. Always pleased with their work.

Excellent customer service and prices. Very honest assessment of my vehicle. No up sale just the facts. Highly recommended!

Awesome place! Takes care of business always. Always take our trucks there for service. In and out just how I like it. Highly recommend True Family Auto👉👍

Always great service been going there for many many years .

The customer service is honestly the best, they actually ensure that you leave here satisfied with their service. From an oil change to full tune up. True recommend.

Always do a good job for me; large and small.

Santiago and True Family Auto are seriously great! Santiago is hands down the friendliest and most hospitable mechanic I have worked with. Im from UT (moved up to Chicago about 8 months ago), so I feel really lucky to have found him through a friends recommendation.We had the bad fortune of replacing our engine on our Honda around 160,000 miles, but Santiago found a used one that he felt would serve us well. I know a bit about cars and he really gave us a quality price. He switched our brake pads and rotors as well. Well be going back here for any auto repairs and routine maintenance for sure.[I have not benefitted in any way, besides goodwill, by posting this review]

I am new to Chicago and was super happy to have found Santiago at True Family Auto. Awesome service and amazing work! Will definitely be going back.

Some dear people I love were touched by the caring and compassion of the people at this business.

I all ways bring my cars to family true family auto, there has not been a problem that they are not able to find and fix, remover if you want you car to be fix True Family Auto is the place.

True Family Auto is professional, honest and very personal . Santiago and Antonia always think of the customers needs and keep great records to assure your vehicle is in great hands. Im a customer for life.!!!
