  • Anybody Know a Good Mechanic in Chicago Area?

    I was wondering if anyone knows a good mechanic that you would recommend near the Chicago area that I could have check out a few issues on my car. Or would you suggest I just shell out the gobs of cash at the dealer? I'm sick of different mechanics lying about stuff and taking my money.

    Thanks!

    I guess it depends on what kind of issues you are having. The best performance shop for f-bodies in the midwest is in Schaumburg. Speed, Inc.

      There's a place in Orland Park where I take my car. It's on 159th & Harlem. It's called Power House Perforamce. They specialize in F-bodys and Vettes. They're converting my A4 to M6 this Spring. They're real good guys.

        Off-topic:

        So 708 is a Chicagoland area code, huh? Interesting, because I got a completely random drunk dial last night from a girl from the 708 area code. She asked me my name, and when I told her "Jay", she said, "ok... ummm... bye." I think she might have thought I said "gay". hahaha...

          708 is an area code for south suburbs of Chicago. Chicago has 2 main area codes: 312 & 773.

          If that girl called from a 708 area code she's definetely from the south suburbs.

            Yea 708 is like the south suburbs cuz I live in schaumburg, and that is a NW burb. My area code use to be 708 but a few years ago they changed it to 847. Anyways, Speed Inc. is really good, but they CAN screw up stuff. I had them put in a cut out om y t/a and they hacked into the drive shaft and when i left they didnt tell me and I ripped my car, and the driveshaft broke right in the middle of a busy road. I had to get my car towed to a mechnic that was only like 2 miles away and it was 70 freakin bucks. But then Speed Inc. made it up to me buy installing a cam for free. Just kidding, i wish. They gave me a LS1 drive shaft for free, paid me back for the towing, labor on the driveshaft to be put in, and the labor for the cut out being put on. So they redeem them selves if they screw up. I would and have gone back there since.
