A1 Auto & Truck Repair at 2434 Thatcher Avenue, River Grove, Illinois.

This is one of those few remaining shops that still cares about their customer, and not just how much money they can make off of them. They know that old-fashioned customer service and quality workmanship will keep people coming back for years.

I've had several vehicles serviced here on numerous occasions and in each instance instead of giving me a whole laundry list of everything that could be done, they instead give me a list of what NEEDS to be done to keep the vehicle safe on the road.

Their estimates are usually dead-on (and often less than I expect). There's always a time or two when something else is discovered when things get opened up, but it's not the sort of shop where your bill will unexpectedly jump.

This is not a quick-lube shop, but they're very reasonably priced for simple fluid changes as well.
