So another standard oil change right? wrong! My appointment was for 8 am but I wheel in early. Make me wait nope. Got me in early. Clean waiting room. The mechanic did the routine service but then I heard a shop vac running. Quick enough I have my car back but they took the time to vacuum out the gravel pit on both sides!! Does YOUR current shop do this for you!? You can't beat these guys! SHOP LOCAL.

Gages Lake was a lifesaver with my flat tire. Plugged in record time!

Ken up front was friendly and explained everything clearly. Skip in back did his usual mechanical magic. Thanks again Gages Lake Auto for helping us to keep our old car running smoothly, and for keeping the repairs reasonable.

Always honest about what work needs to be done, what can wait, and what other things/options you can do before really spending a lot of money on your car to fix it.

Wonderful to find a truly honest and ethical repair shop!

Always friendly, professional and wise!

I had just come back to grayslake to visit my parents when my car started making an awful rattling noise. I was concerned that I may have to drive back home with my car in that condition. We called Gages Lake Auto at about 5pm (they close at 6pm) and they were extremely friendly and said that we can swing by and they can at least diagnose the issue to determine if it would be a safety hazard or not. As soon as we got there, the employee behind the counter laid down on the pavement and reached under my car and determined that the issue was a loose heat plate. He brought the car into the shop and explained everything and fixed it right in front of us!! His name was CJ I believe and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He genuinely just wanted to help me solve my issue. He and the mechanic did all of this right before they closed and, after coming here, I never want to take my car anywhere else!!!
