“There is not much left to say about how great these guys are. If you appreciate a second generation family owned business, while significantly saving over dealership prices, this is your go-to place. I have been with Jason and Nate for over three years and every single time they far exceeded my expectations. Their customer service is above what you would find at Mercedes or Audi dealership and their competence is unrivaled. They are big enough to do any repair right, yet small enough to do it better.”

From our neighbors
“Took me a while to find a shop willing to help me with my rare old truck, but after a couple quick messages on here, I knew this place was worth my time and money. Nate couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about giving everything a once-over for me and helping me find solutions for what are sure to be more complicated future projects. Going to be my first phone call the next time I need a pro to help make sure this baby stays road-worthy.”
“I’ve been here many times now with two different cars. They’re equally good with European and American cars. And Nate, the boss guy, treats his customers like his friends. It’s always heartwarming. And the job they do is consistently excellent. I just love taking my car here.”
“Once again, best mechanic in all of Chicagoland. I had a post-purchase vehicle inspection because my airbag light came on in my used car I purchased the day before. Turns out after some diagnostic and manual inspection the car was not clean as the Carfax stated. It had been wrecked and was missing multiple airbags. The vehicle had been through 3 other dealerships and passed their inspections. I returned the car and forced the owner to buy the vehicle back from me. Thanks again!”
“Amazing service, extremely professional, and some of the most helpful people in the whole city. Nate helped me figure out that the car I was about to drop $16,000 on was not a good buy (something you definitely want to know before spending that kind of money). Even better, purely out of the goodness of his heart, he offered his expertise and excellent advice throughout the next month to help me find a car that was a better fit. Thanks Nate, can’t thank you enough!”
“Certainly lived up to the 5 star reviews this week. Nate was fantastic, so helpful and I didn’t even use their repair services. My situation was that I had recently purchased a used car that I was told had been in a fender bender. I reached out to see if they would take a look. Nate explained they don’t typically do inspections but he’d be happy to take a look. After checking things out he said it must have been a very minor accident, no concerns. Great customer service isn’t always easy to find, so when you come across good people it’s important to spread the word.”

Rockwell Auto Clinic carries forward the five-star service Chicagoans knew from the former Albany Auto Team. We chose North Center because it’s our neighborhood, and we run the shop the way we’d want our own family treated.
Independent means honest. We are not paid on commission, we follow manufacturer maintenance schedules instead of inventing services, and we’ll tell you when a repair is not worth doing.
