I had collected several quotes on suspension work on my wife’s SUV, and they gave me the absolute best price. Sometimes that concerns me but they put that to rest immediately. They did a superb job, offered advice on repairs I might want to consider without pushing to make me do it immediately and everyone I spoke to throughout the process was beyond courteous, helpful and friendly. I am about to come in to do the repair they suggested as well as a break job, and I don’t feel the need to shop around at all. They have earned a loyal customer in me.
Everyone that I have dealt with here is super friendly and VERY customer service orientated. Bill and Melissa are awesome!! They find the problem with your vehicle and more importantly stand behind their work.
They go out of there way to make the customer happy. Then theyll discount your total cost. They honor other car places coupons Im very pleased with the service they offer. They just make u feel so comfortable with there customer service.
Went for a oil change and gotta say this place is my new go-to. Specifically love the “bring your own parts” aspect. I like using Royal Purple oil and while I’d like to do it myself, the convenience this place offered is awesome. They were quick too. Waited in their little lobby area while it was done. I use hand controls also and they had no problems whatsoever operating them. Got some suggestions on what to replace in the future. 10/10 service, thanks guys!
As always, First Choice got my repairs done on time and as promised. Its rare that you find a place you trust.... but this is mine. Always honest, friendly and genuine family atmosphere. Highly recommend for your auto needs !!
All I can say is that I love coming to this place. Bill, Melissa, Dan, Nick, and the whole crew are nothing short of amazing. Excellent Service, Great People, Fair across the board, and always willing to help answer any questions and concerns that I have. If you need a great place to get service done on your car, then this is the only place to go in the area. They don’t sugar coat the issue or jack us the prices like other places do and they stand behind there work with warranty’s.
Great group! Quality work done at a reasonable price. Techs are knowledgeable, office people are extremely personable. I dont take my truck any where else!!
I have brought my cars to First Choice Auto Repair several times and have NEVER been disappointed with their service. This last time is no exception.My sons car was out of state with him this summer and there was a problem with one of the headlight assemblies so we had to bring it to another repair shop that was local to where he was so that the car would be legal to drive with two working headlights. We had to purchase a new headlight assembly. The other shop installed it but still the headlight was not working properly. They had no idea why that was so after having told me they had checked all possibilities. Once my son came back home, we took the car to First Auto explained what was going on and within the hour we got a call back saying the car was fixed - and it was. Enough said.If you want a place that deals with you fairly and professionally and does the work correctly once they are able to diagnose the problem and stands behind their work then you absolutely cannot go wrong at First Choice Auto Repair. I highly recommend them and would give them 10 stars if I could.
First Choice Auto Repair evaluated my daughters car before she heads off to college. They are awesome mechanics but better people. I know she will be safe as she leaves for school - THANK YOU!!
Quick, efficient, and affordable service completed on my daughters old Subaru. She brought in the part and they took care of her while she waited. Thanks!
Very good experience I laughed all the time I was there Great group of people They do great work
Very friendly staff had brakes and a CV axle done definitely use their service again Cant beat their repair cost,Thanks again
I needed some front end suspension work done lower control arms. So I called and spoke with a man named Dan. I dropped my car off and it was done the same day and they were busy not only did they do a great job but they go above and beyond with there customer service they even tightened up everything that was loose on the suspension from a previous repair. I recently had the other parts replaced by someone else and it wasnt done properly thats what brought me to this First Choice Auto Repair and for a very fair price! I will keep coming back with my car repair needs as well as tell my friends and family!
Excellent service, quality and value pricing!
Bring ur own parts.A1 place for repairs.
Very curtious fair and helpful, will return again for there help. As soon as able. Excellent diagnosis and very knowledgeable, also will help you out with a ride home .
They were amazing and reasonably priced for what I needed done. I highly recommend them. Will be going back soon to have other things I need to have done.
This business is well run and does great on time for the price quote. I have used them mainly for the hard stuff that requires a lift. I do most of the work on my truck but when it requires more knowledge and equipment this is where I take it to be fixed. It is a friendly place to get your vehicle repaired.
There is not a better place in the Joliet period.Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else.The owners are just very honest decent people and you can’t fake that. Work is done when it is supposed to be, at the cost or less than what they quoted.We own multiple cars and they have worked on all of them over the last 10 years or so.I’m at the point where I don’t need a quote, just tell them to fix it and I’ll pay when I’m done. They have earned that type of trust.Now ask yourself how many places in Joliet area you can say that about ?
Bill and Melissa are great to work with. Checked my daughters used car as if it was theirs.
Yeah, didnt really like how they told me I had to buy my own parts a day after I drop off my Chrysler. Out of all the research Ive done with this auto repair shop, I never knew that I had to buy my own parts until a day after I dropped off the car. Normally, a shop will tell you what you all need in order to get your car repaired well ahead of time so that you can prepare. On top of that, when I went to OReillys to return the battery that they replaced, I found out that I was given a Walmart battery. Not sure if this is just a mistake or if they were trying to rip me off but that wasnt cool I had to drive back and forth. Also I was told it would cost $220 to replace my alternator on the phone, but I ended up having to pay $320.
Great people to deal with very polite and ProfessionalWill Highly recommend
Always fair and feel good about going here! They will tell you what you need and not a cent more they do not try to upsell or get more money from you like plenty other auto shops do. Great gem of a place
Took my car in on a referral. The staff was friendly. They listened to my concerns. I had a weird sound coming from under my car like something was loose. They drove with me first and then put it on the rack. This place was packed. I waiting about an hour amd a half and it was fixed. Pricing was reaonable. My car runs like new again. No issues.
Great service and friendly people and fair pricing just great place to get your car needs takin care of . Thanks so much everyone at first choice auto repair.
As always, the work is done right and at a fraction of what the other places will charge you, get your own parts, save yourself some cash and get over to First Choice Auto Repair in Crest Hill.
Very nice people. My car was in and out for brakes and rotors. I was very impressed.
Great customer service. You can bring your own parts and they will put it in for you in a reasonable price or theyll get you a part that you need
Really wanted to give more but my problem here is I had my van checked before bringing to this mechanic and I had one issue and all of a sudden I had to keep bringing my van back for more spent over 3,000, different causes back in forth multiple times the woman gave me quotes on things that needed done but when I went to get van a young mechanic told me I had none of those issues so are they breaking people cars so we can keep coming back or what or lying about things that don’t really need fixing to keep ppl coming back, lastly had my ac recharge and it’s only been one month and stop working smh stay away they will bleed your bank with unnecessary stuff
They where able to get me inStraight to the point, and reasonable pricing 👍
Radiator cooling system failed. It was repaired on time and budget as promised.
Great place to go if you buy your own parts. Can’t beat their prices, speed, and quality of service. I’ll definitely come back here again! I highly recommend First Choice Auto Repair to anyone who needs their vehicle serviced!
I have three vehicles in my family to keep on the road, 2015 Nissan Rogue - 2003 Toyota Sienna - 2000 GMC Sonoma. I recently was searching for a new repair shop & ways to save money the Pandemic. These guys hit the mark. Professional-Reasonable Prices-Good work-No Nonsense. I had front disc brake/rotary brake work done on two vehicles & coolant flush on another. Thanks to First Choice
Ive used them twice for car repairs. They have gone out of their way to accommodate me as far as scheduling and living up to their promises. I would recommend them to everyone I know and will definitely use them anytime I need work done.
Quality people quality service, will recommend 7 days of the week. I like going there, because they treat their guest like family and they honor veterans.
Great service, excellent people. I had my power steering pump replaced & real struts put in. I would recommend any one who is looking for quality work to be performed on their vehicles without being over charged to come down here. The gentleman even bought me Dunkin coffee. Thank you for that!
Great place to go to. I have recommended this place to so many of my family and friends. Great Job!
Being an IT guy for 30 years has taught me the value of an SME (subject matter expert). It has also taught me to call an SME at the first tingle of this isnt my wheelhouse. These guys are now my SMEs when it comes to my vehicle.The people at First Choice are helpful, knowledgeable, and flexible, the very essence of what a small, local business should be. As my vehicle ages, I imagine we will get to being on a first name basis sooner rather than later. If you’re good doing the research but lack the confidence to do the work, this is the place.I should also mention that I found them in a town that Ive lived in for over 2 decades because Ive driven by hundreds, if not thousands of times. So support your business by supporting local sign painters! There was no mistake about what they did and it solidified where they were in my head because they were smart enough to put it right in front of me, because Im kind of an idiot.
Good prices. Excellent work. Highly recommended.
I recently moved into the area and did some research and noticed First Choice Auto Repair had a high review rating. I decided to check em out and the experience was really good. Great atmosphere and quality work. Everything inside the location felt modern. Most repair shops seem dark and dirty. This place is the complete opposite. Also price was superbly fair for my cars. I will be going back soon.
Good people fair prices
I love that they are very honest and upfront with what work needs to be done and what can wait, having the option to bring your own parts saves you a ton of money (they will even give you the exact part # you need which saves you time searching for it). Their techs seem very knowledgeable and theres usually a comedy show upfront listening to the workers banter and go back and forth.
This was my first time using a new shop, which obviously made me nervous. This was a great experience from start to finish. Friendly staff, great value, and keep me in the loop the whole time. Will return in the future if I need any car maintenance at all.For those that live in Joliet and do not know where to go, this is a great choice!
Trustworthy honest mechanics. Ive been going to them for about 5 years. Prices are reasonable and they actually work with you on prices.
Its great place I never go anywhere else to get my car work on thanks
Honest affordable reliable car repair business that really helped me out with a massive brake system failure. My vehicle was done early and held in a secure location until pickup. Highly recommend.
Great experience, great prices and service!! Once again 5 🌟 service today. They replaced my wheel bearing assembly. My car sounds much better now .
Have been coming here for a couple of years now and always had excellent service. I recently brought in my Nissan Armada to have my brakes done, all 4 rotors and pads, brake lines flushed, trans and 4 wheel drive differential front and back. The service was fairly quick and was completed in less than a day. Only issue was the price quoted did not reflect some charges for fluid needed for the 4wd which was understandable. After speaking to the rep when I picked up my vehicle he was able to offer me a slight discount which was fine by me. I did however bring in my own parts for the brakes which included the rotors and pads for the front and back so I guess I saved some money. This is what I like about this place is having the ability to bring in your own parts and having them install them just for the labor. You save some money instead of paying for over priced parts and they are willing to help you make the right decision in parts also they do not price gouge you for ordering parts. Overall great customer service and an excellent family business with owner who genuinely care about their customers and the provided customer service. Thank you First Choice Auto!!!
Great guys and good work👍
I would recommend First Choice Auto Repair To Anyone That Needs Auto Repair, They Do Excellent Work, And They Really Care About Their Costumers Safety, This Is The Only Place That I Get My Car Fixed At, Im Always Satisfied .
Great shop,knowledgeable,reasonable,friendly,AND trustworthy. Theyve always done me right,will not go anywhere else. HIGHLY recommended !!
I have used this shop multiple times. They are always priced fairly and they do a great job!!! Customer Service is exceptional!!!
Always great service. They do even extra work to ensure that the vehicle is completely fixed. They seem to always to have the time to help and are very knowledgeable. Recommended in every way.
Bring your parts or not they know what there doing to get it done right.
I have been going here for easily 5+ years. I have been to previous shops where I felt unwelcome or they saw me as just a dollar sign. Bill, Melissa and now Nick are my go too for when I need repairs done on my cars. I am and will always continue to be a loyal customer because they are all honest and fair. I always recommend this place to family and friends and I haven’t received any negative feedback from anyone I referred. Thank you for the great work, the Tahoe drives perfectly.
Great job fast fair service I had to tell my friends about it who trust my judgement
Called Friday afternoon, spoke to Dan, asked how soon could he get me in since needed brakes replaced ASAP as they were grinding. The shop was booked Saturday, but, Dan said bring it first thing Saturday @8:00am and well squeeze you in.This is the only place that I can buy my own parts, bring them in, and theyll replace them. I was able to return the old pads and rotors at AutoZone since they have lifetime warranty so that got me my money back on parts. Best deal ever!!! Really loved the experience, professionalism, knowledge, and the friendliness of everyone from Bill & Dan to the wife and kids!!! Great job guys and keep up the great work!!! Will definitely refer friends & family to FIRST CHOICE AUTO REPAIR!!!
Friendly, fast, straight forward! Price was exactly what they quoted. My services where done before I was ready to pick up which is always a good thing! Will be returning in the future.
Was nervous about taking my vehicle in, not knowing what it could be or how much it would cost. Before I knew I new it, my vehicle was fixed and for a lot less than I thought it would end up costing me. This business has shown to be reliable, fair, and honest. Will not think twice about bring my next vehicle here for repairs.
Ive been coming here since they opened. They work on my business and personal vehicles. Its nice having an honest mechanic that you can trust and refer to others. Thank you for years of excellent service!
Your guys did a quick and perfect job at fixing my cruise control. Sadly, somehow the flex pipe on the exhaust system failed to get done. No problem, I called and will be coming in tomorrow morning for the quick fix.
Always great service. They do even extra work to ensure that the vehicle is completely fixed. They seem to always to have the time to help and are very knowledgeable. Recommended in everyway.
Does excellent. work been very honest with about the work he can do or not, always gives me fair quote and advise me of any other issues, been going here far a while with all 4 if my cars and have no complaints always does the work when he can and as fastest he can, would recommend to everyone.
Very quick service, scheduling, and reasonable pricing. Definitely returning in future when necessary. Really like that they also track your repair history. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent service and reasonable prices.
While others thought I needed expensive new brake parts, First Choice said I only needed a clean up and additional lubrication. Now, thats what I call straight-up honesty and integrity. Hope they never lose it.
They are very good I gave them my 2011 odyssey to change timing belt in the past they did very good job for different things
Always a great experience. Need some more work. Will go back.
My engine belt was squeaking very loud, I had the part, you guy replaced. It faster than I thought and my rude home was very quiet. Thanks again.
Excellent work and Awesome Service!
All around great Auto service company. Had a few staffing hiccups but they get rid of the unfit employees. Allows you to bring your own parts and still provides a labor warranty but not a part warranty. Able to work with peoples busy schedules and can squeeze me in sometimes for a check up. Best part is how friendly they are and their affordable rates. Quality doesnt always have to be very expensive.
This shop is the best around. Honest, reliable, and very good mechanics. My experiences have all been great. If you arent happy with your current mechanic, give these guys a shot. I did, and Im glad I did!
Great customer service.
Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They always get my car back to me fast.
Hi viewing public. This is Isaac Wright. These Guys are Strictly Professionals. Everything there runs like all services SHOULD RUN. Very Smooth. Thanks First Choice Auto Repair
They put my car on the lift and showed me that I did not need the work to be done. Go figure! The Other work that they did do was very Affordable.
Really good experience, I was referral by friend.The young lady in the office was really helpful,I called and she scheduled that appointmen for the next day, and all the work was done fast,really good service thank you
Great experience once again . great work and worked with me on price . great shop
Everyone was very helpful keeping me updated on my vehicle. Thank you so much. I wasn’t over charged and I feel they did the best work. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.
Great place, quality work and they have always treated me fairly.
The service was excellent. I was informed as soon as I walked in for my appointment that they were a little behind. They were honest and straight forward. The gentleman with the braided bread and his old lady were extremely nice and funny. I will definitely be going back. It took a little longer than I expected but I just went to the bar next door and they called me as soon as it was done. They quoted me a price over the phone, and I left with that price. Thank you guys for being awesome. You guys rock!
They put my car on the lift and showed me that I did not need the work to be done. Go figure! The Other work that they did do was very Affordable.
Nicely portioned drinks. Bartender Julie terrific, Server Gabby exemplary, cuisine to die for!
Excellent service, great people and you cant beat the price. I woul highly recommend First Choice to anyone. This is the 3rd or 4th time Ive used them and I have no complaints whatsoever.
Took my wifes car in to have a brake flush, and we picked it up. Car seems to brake better so I will say that the team here has fixed my issue. I will try them again in the near future.
I’m so glad I found first choice! They’re honest and don’t pull any punches. They’ll tell you what needs fixing now, and what can wait, and how long. Buying my own parts and having them do the install has saved me hundreds on each job!I will be bringing all 3 of my vehicles here!!
Great honest shop would definitely recommend and bring my business back with this shop
Bill and Melissa always take great care of our vehicles. Weve been longstanding customers for a reason - fantastic service, honesty, integrity and fair pricing. We travel a bit to bring our cars there, but once you find a good mechanic you stick with them. Weve referred family and friends, all with very good results. Our family fleet has had everything from basic oil changes all the way up to complete motor swaps. Try them out, you wont be disappointed.
Awesome place to get work done. I havent had anyone touch any of my cars in 20 years but when I did have someone do the work - it was these guys. Nice family owned shop that is honest and has good prices. Had brakes and water pump done, no complaints. When I need work next Ill come back to First Choice, they have my business now.
Guys got me in day I called, got everything done in an awesome amount of time. Always a great experience everytime I call.
Had these guys check out a car before I bought. They were super nice and seem to have done a good job and would definitely go back if I lived in the area.
I have changed the oil on my familys various vehicles over the years many many times, so when I couldnt get the filter off a newer vehicle that had been previously done by the dealership, I was frustrated. I googled First Choice the next morning (Monday) and spoke with a gentleman who accommodated me that day. Since I had a limited time available during my lunch hour from work, I asked him to approximate the time it would take to have it done so I could plan and not get back to the office late. He told me about a half hour. Sure enough it was done in a half hour. In addition, he was able to have a tire rotation done during that time which I also requested when I learned it was only $10 for that service. I have been to other places that it ended up taking twice as long as was estimated, so I prepared myself. Needless to say I was very pleased and impressed. And, since I brought in the filter and oil, I was charged only $15 with NO extra fees (such as disposal charges) or taxes that the dealership charges, turning it into something much more expensive every time it seems. Great job Dan and team, and thank you. I will definitely be back for other services in the future!
Very good mechanics and prompt service. I will continue to have my vehicle serviced here.
Workmanship is good and done at a timely matter prices are fair and they let you bring your own parts, I work with a family owned business myself and always try to support mom and pop businesses when I have a chance. I recommend this business if you need shuttle services they will provide that as well
I received an online quote so I knew right away what the cost would be.The Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They replaced the engine in my 2006 F-150, not an easy task. It was done when they said it would be.They asked me to return in a week so that they can be sure that there are no leaks, etc. This shows that they really care about me & my truck. I plan on using First Choice Auto Repair again & highly recommend them to anyone.
I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR OF BRAKES AND ALSO FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING . AND RECEIVED GREAT SERVICE AT A REASONABLE PRICE . AND WAS GIVEN GREAT ADVICE ON THE WHEEL BEARING BY TECH. POINT ON . THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE ! I WILL TELL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO GO HERE TO FOR REPAIRS. AGAIN THANKS MUCH FOR THE GREAT SERVICE!
First Choice should be your ONLY choice!I highly recommend these guys to ANYONE!Always professional, very knowledgeable and most importantly they take extra care to make sure the parts being replaced really NEED to be replaced! You never have to worry about them taking advantage of you wife, daughter, sister or friend; you can rely on their honesty and integrity; you will never be overcharged or have any unnecessary work done simply because they think ‘she’ does not know any better.These guys will take you back and show you what needs to be repaired/replaced and even dumb it down if need be. You are always given the option to buy your own parts elsewhere; new or used... or if it’s more convenient then you can trust them to get it for you... Your choice.Lastly, their customer service is A+! It’s all about even the smallest of details like the warm & welcoming family-like atmosphere and caring owners/staff that are willing to go that extra mile... I was once in a pinch and these guys picked me up and dropped me off which helped make a bad situation (a broken vehicle) a bit more bearable.Simplified review: First Choice, Your Choice, The ONLY Choice Auto Repair Shop!Thank you Bill, Melissa & all your staff for everything!PS... they will even tell you when someone else can do something cheaper and make the recommendations if that should be the case.Better than 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Friendly, reliable, service. They had me in the next day and didnt try to haggle extra work in to the deal. They did the repairs i asked for and called when my car was ready. I will be recommending to friends and family!
First Choice Auto repair did a great job with fixing my suv and we were not disappointed. I plan to have them do additional work to my vehicle when needed very nice, kind and friendly staff.
