I'm sick of getting upsold at large franchises - can anyone recommend a local shop?

On a side note, the one I used to go to I would take the little bridge to. It was in Lombard Smile

Okay they are a franchise but we like the manager Erin. We use Firestone on Roosevelt. They have coupons online at their website. And you don't have to go across a bridge. Wink

I like Gearheads. They have moved up even further on my favorite people list when they fixed my wipers, added coolant (all without power) and allowed me to hide out when the tornado sirens came on last Wednesday!

I've had AC work and alignments done at the GE Firestone. They were nice to deal with and did a good job- contrary to the Danada Firestone. Otherwise I change my own oil. - Amsoil.

HIll Avenue Auto...conveniently located just west of the now famous Lombard Hill Avenue Bridge Smile Seriously, Adam does great work and is very reasonable.

I highly recommend Village Garage. Reasonable prices and top notch service. No up-selling--they do only what is necessary. Located at 5 corners.

Ted is the best!

I always had great experiences at Village Garage....the guys were nice, NOT condescending (which is huge, being a chick who knows a little about cars), not over-priced, and did NOT do unnecessary work. And I took a Ford there Wink

I've also recently gained an affinity for 3-D over on Roosevelt in Lombard. Those guys are funny and decently priced, but you've gotta make sure you know what you're going in for and that's all they do. For example, if you don't want them to change your air filter or oil filter when they change your oil....tell them that.

Thank you everyone for the recommendations.

My car was serviced at Village Garage this AM. I'm happy to say that I'll likely become a regular customer there.

(well not too regular I hope!)
