Car-X Tire & Auto

They did a complimentary inspection on a used car we just purchased. Brought me into the garage to show me general things about the car and also how the lower engine shield was missing and a fog light was cracked. Otherwise the rest looked good. Super helpful inspection and info. Thank you! On a separate occasion, we brought our old car here and they correctly diagnosed the issue and said it wasn’t worth it to fix it because it was an internal engine issue with oil and coolant mixing. They said we should really just get a new car. They charged us nothing and had nothing to gain so appreciated the honesty. The reason I know they correctly diagnosed is because we brought it somewhere else for a second opinion and they had a different take. Of course we liked the news so we paid for a coolant flush. When a few of those didn’t work, ended up paying for a new radiator. Problem of no heat in car was fixed for a little over a month and then it came back again. Brought it to a third place and they also thought it just needed a flush to finish getting all the grime out. But nothing would work and they then came to the same conclusion as Car-x. We should have trusted the guys at this Elgin Car-x from the start!

The Employees at Car X were amazing! My appointment was for Saturday at 7:30 am, but because I dropped my car off on Friday they started working on it immediately. The got the job done super fast as well. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family.

Definitely coming back to this place! Miguel was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Brought in my car messed up and he made sure I left safe. Showed me and schooled me on how to maintain my car. Fixed my problems and my anxiety. Going back tomorrow for an oil change! Thanks Miguel, you’re amazing!!!

Wolf, Miguel, and Tony made the whole process so easy. I observed their interactions with every customer (had a 4-5 hour repair), and you can tell they really care about their community. I would feel comfortable sending my family here. I've never had a mechanic show me exactly what he was doing, thanks Tony.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Elgin location and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was not only polite and professional but also took the time to thoroughly explain the issues with my car. Tony the main tech was super helpful! Will definitely be back in the future!
