CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Rod's rebuilt the transmission in my Saab convertible and it was just a pleasure dealing with them. I liked their professionalism and the fact that they saved me a 1000 dollars over another transmission shop that I had originally
brought my car too. It's been a rough couple of years with this car, but I still really love it. The thought that I might
have had to get rid of it because of the transmission going bad was just braking my heart. But Rod to the rescue!

Rods is great! They saved me some Chirstmas money that I had budgeted to fix our van. It's nice to have them in the neighborhood. Thanks guys!

Allways treat me and my friends right at rods. I've been going there for twelve years now and it's nice doing business with them. Car repairs here are worth it.

Honest mechanic they fixed my trans leak for $95, the dealer told my the whole transmission was "wiped out", turns out it was just low on fluid and had a leak. Rods was great, they were honest with me and i recomend them to anyone.

I purchased a 1980 corvette a couple years ago and have needed brake, engine, and ac work that I got fixed at Rod's. Each time I went in, the service was professional, very fast, and a great price. I received pictures of the work which is a good plus. They also gave me alternatives for fixing the problems in case I needed to save money. The work is always perfect. At one point, I needed to adjust the timing of my engine. I brought it in and got it fixed within hours at no charge. My 31-year-old car is running is running great, and I will always take it there.

My car broke down in Chicago on my way to Texas, I was driving from Green Bay. Despite them being Bears fans they treated my great and didn't take advantage of my plight. I checked the price they charged me with my mechanic back home and he said it was less then he would have charged for an axle repair!

I purchased a car that needed work done and I took my car to quite a few places for estimates and after hearing all the estimates, I thought I would never get my car fixed. I was online one day and just googled auto repair- Chicago and Rod's came up. I was hesitant at first because I was not familiar with the shop and I just knew I would be quoted some outrageous price from there too. I wasn't going to call, but something inside kept telling me to call. When I called and asked for a quote on my issue, I was at a loss for words for what they quoted me, almost $1000 cheaper than what Pepe Boys and others quoted me. I knew I wanted to do business with them because the person that answered the phone also answered every question that I had and gave me all honest answers. I knew from that point, I wanted to give them my business. My car was towed to them on Thursday and they kept me informed on the progress of my repairs and my car was done early Saturday morning. Everyone in the shop was so nice and professional and I was even shown pictures of my engine before and after. My car is running wonderfully and I would definitely recommend Rod's to anyone that needs auto repair. The quality of the service that I received out shines the affordable price that I paid. Thanks alot and great job!!!

I've had alot of problems with the trans of my 1999 oldsmobile Bravada and have been to a lot of shops in the last two years. I was tired of being hassled and having to come back again and again for repairs. After seeing one of their ads I decided to give Rod's Auto a try. I'm glad I did. Rod, the owner, is honest and easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly including all my options. I didn't feel pressured at all, and I didn't feel that anything was done that wasn't needed. My trans was done quickly without paying an arm and a leg. I haven't had a problem since. It's almost too good to be true. I'll definitely be back for tune-ups; I found my new repair shop right here!

I live way out on the south side of Chicago, but I drive all the way to Bridgeport to take my car to Rod. Rod has worked on my family's cars for over 10 years. And even though parking in that area can be bad, I know that he is one of the last mechanics that won't try to lie to you make an extra buck. It is great to see a family owned and operated repair shop. Rod and Peter are good people. Trust me, if you get your transmission repaired or replaced by any other mechanic, you paid too much for it. I also like the fact that they offer financing on car repairs. So when my transmission went out, I knew that I didn't have the money to fix it. But Rod showed me how I could get a short term loan to get my car fixed. Warning: this guy is more sarcastic than Jerry Seinfeld so bring your sense of humor with you.

Rod's has great prices, they are fast, and really friendly. But most importantly to me is that I trust Rod to work on my car and my kids cars.

Rod replaced the engine in my Chevy g20 van that I picked up this afternoon. He told me about this site and asked me to write about what I think about his service. I have to say that rods has always been the mechanic that i use, and I reccomend him.

I like these guys alot!!! they helped me fix my Corsica after the dealer told me that it was to old to be worth fixing. Well, its my car and it was worth the $380 I spent with Rods to have a car available to me that I can trust.
