Chicago Car Care, Inc.

Did great work on what I asked them to do. But the cost of labor per hour? $ 160/​hour. I asked if they had any deals, but neglected to tell me about their Unilocal deal that I brought up afterwards.
They’re nice, talk nice and do nice car work. They’ll also make a nice profit off you. Better ask before first! They’re priced like the dealer but without heat, they set it at like 62 – 64 degrees on a cold day, wifi, clean bathrooms, and etc.

I was so impressed with the service I received from Chicago Car Care! Mr. Castle didn’t pressure or try to sell me on anything other than the service I requested (something I’ve frequently encountered at other shops when I bring in my well-​worn Chevy Aveo). I was pleasantly shocked at how fast my repair was done; I’d anticipated being without my car for at least a couple of days, and he had it back to me in a few hours! I’m so glad to have found a friendly, honest shop in my neighborhood.

I got a flat over the weekend and have been looking for a good place to get my tire replaced. I have also been on the lookout for a great mechanic that I can trust, which until yesterday I had yet to find them. Based on their great reviews and awesome $ 50 for $ 75 deal on Unilocal,I decided to give Chicago Care Care a try. I called ahead and they suggested dropping by to show what kind of tire I had and then coming back after the tire had been delivered, which was fine for me. Last night I dropped by, they ordered the tire and asked what I was looking for I said cheap and reliable and the guy found me an 85,000 mile tire for under $ 100, which was exactly what I was looking for. I came back in this morning after a phone call from them and the tire was installed very quickly. I was in and out.
Overall this was one of the best mechanic experiences I have ever had. I usually leave a car place feeling like I was totally robbed and didn’t get what I actually needed, but here:
1. I got exactly what I wanted and wasn’t given 65,000 sales pitches on other things that are totally wrong with my car even if it’s running fine
2. My friend with the exact same car and similarly priced tires (checked online) got a flat a few weeks ago and spent abut $ 80 more to get said tire replaced at another place.
3. They were friendly, quick, no nonsense, and seemed like really honest people.
I think I found a new mechanic. I totally recommend if you’re looking for something reasonably priced, reliable, and quick!

Marshall was very nice. I dropped my car off at 2pm and they replaced the brakes and got me driving again in 2 hours. Fantastic. Thanks guys.

I frantically called CCC this morning when I broke my seat belt (it got folded and pulled all the way out). The man on the phone said it’d cost $ 30+ if they had to take the car apart. I showed up soon afterward and was greeted by the friendly man I had spoke to on the phone. He promptly got a mechanic to look at the broken seat belt and had it fixed within 2 minutes (without having to take the car apart!)! And best of all, when I went inside to pay, he said it free. Thanks for watching out for a poor college kid’s wallet! Friendly people, great service, clean space, what’s not to love?! This place has definitely earned my trust and I will be coming back when I run into car troubles again!

I was in need of some car service and not in my home base. I used Unilocal to find a place with good ratings nearby and was very happy with the work and price. Recommend CCC for honest work.

Save yourself time and money by getting the right mechanic from the start. I had a problem with my air conditioner which wasn’t fixed after having taken it to three different mechanics. One changed a filter, another the fluid, still another found nothing wrong. Of course the AC would work in their shops but quit when I needed it in stop and go traffic. Suffice it to say, I needed a mechanic who could diagnose and fix the root of the problem-​a detective if you will. That is what I found at Chicago Car Care. Marshall knows his stuff. He explained why I was getting intermittent cold air and even showed me the tiny little piece that was causing the problem. So not only did I get a fully functioning AC in one day (thanks to his efforts to find and pick up the necessary part) but I gained an education about my car and a mechanic I can trust. To me that’s priceless. I highly recommend this shop. It’s the cleanest and most courteous place you’ll find.

I don’t ask a lot. I really don’t. If I go to a sandwich place, I just want a good sandwich. If I go to a clothing store, I just want to buy something that fits and that looks and feels good. If I go to a place to get a window on my car fixes, that’s all I want to be done. No hoops to jump through… no navigating unknown territory. I just want it simple, fast, easy, and you know? Why don’t we throw in friendly service. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask right?
Chicago Car Car is all of these things. It was completely painless on my part. I called for an estimate. They told me a fair price (see my Unilocal about the other car place that wasn’t so fair). I dropped of my car. They told me they would have it fixed an a few hours. It was. I got a call when it was ready, I picked it up and it was perfect. They charged me exactly what they said they were going to. And on top, they were nice friendly guys. Why can’t everything in my life work as well as Chicago Car Care?

I’ve been doing business with Marshall Castle and his team since they were Marshall’s Car Castle on California and Pratt. Now re-​established as Chicago Car Care just south of Northside College Prep High School, they continue their tradition of great service at competitive prices.
Poorly done car repairs not only cost you money, but they are also hazardous to your personal safety. This is never a problem at Chicago Car Care. Marshall and his crew are topnotch automotive technicians who keep their ASE certifications up to date. I get only fast, reliable repairs here, and Marshall stands behind all work done in his garage.
I like to think I know more about the workings of cars than the average Joe (um, well, as Marshall will tell you, EVERY man likes to think he knows more about the workings of cars than the average Joe…), but cars are very complex machines, and there’s no doubt in my mind that an auto mechanic who wanted to take advantage of me would have little trouble doing so. But the fact remains that cars often require expensive repairs and preventive maintenance, so it’s critical to your financial health to have an honest automotive technician. I would challenge anybody to find a more honest businessman than Marshall Castle.
I highly recommend Chicago Car Care.

I went to this repair shop back when it was Car Castle on California and Pratt, and always got great service. Marshall (the owner) is always very respectful, and explains things clearly. The times that I’ve compared prices, his were either in line with or better than other garages.
I haven’t been back in person since he’s moved, but I believe he might have rides available for people who drop off their car, within a reasonable distance. (But call and double check first, I don’t know if this is still available, or what the details are.)
