Automotive Specialist

Dennis and Dave are extremely skilled mechanics and very trustworthy! They service all makes and models of cars and use language you can understand. If you're wondering where to bring your car for service or maintenance, this is the place. You won't be disappointed.

Best service / mechanic in Illinois. Dennis treats everyone with respect and like family. Quality of work is second to none. Prices are beyond fair.

Our go to mechanic for the last 27 years. Dennis and Dave always treat us right. They’re very competent, fair in pricing, and recommend only necessary work. They also check out used cars for a small fee, a wonderful way to make sure we don’t buy a lemon.

Highly recommend these guys. They provide comprehensive and quality service for a reasonable price.

I was referred to Automotive Specialist by a colleague at work. Called and spoke with Dave regarding an issue with one of our cars (wanted to get a second opinion). Dave spent 30 minutes on the phone diagnosing the problem and took the time to explain the engine functions and why the specific error may have been showing.

We dropped our car off that night and Dave called me back the next day at 8:30am. He explained what he initially saw in the car, and said he would call me back after he was able to review further. As promised, Dave called back that afternoon and gave me a full summary of what he observed along with his recommendations on how to proceed. He was honest and told us what should be repaired, and what could wait.

We will surely be coming back to Automotive Specialist in the future. These guys are truly honest and take the time to ensure the job is done right.

My elderly mother goes here and tells me stories all the time. I have talked to them a couple of times myself. I live over 2 hours away so I was nervous at first but let me tell you I didn’t need to be. Dennis and Dave are the most honest mechanics I have ever heard of. They are always honest and fair with my mother and does not take advantage of her at all. Again today she was there and was worried about repairs a needed. She said she had to call him back because she didn’t know if she could afford the repairs and instead of waiting Dennis came up with an alternative and saved her money. Not to mention they took the car to get the emissions passed because they know it is hard for her!
They are the best and I am so happy that her car is one less thing we have to worry about! Thank you Dennis and Dave!! My family and I appreciate you taking care of our mother like one of your own! I don’t know if you realize how much we appreciate you, if you did by then you lease know now that it is a lot!
I only wish I could give you more stars!

I have taken various cars I've owned there for decades. They have always been honest (I have BS spidey senses which have never went off), was able to do whatever is needed in a timely manner and with fair prices. I have always been very satisfied.

Denis and Dave are great guys, my family has been using their shop for almost 20 years. I'm a licensed mechanic but have a leg injury so I only go here. They don't play games, charge a good price and do an excellent job every time. Thanks Denis and Dave!!!!

My late Father Harold, and myself have been bringing our cars to Dennis for about the past 30 years. Dennis & Dave are top notch professionals, and they perform excellent work on our cars. My wife & I now live in Naperville, and we still drive to Lisle to have "Automotive Specialist" fix our cars. Their like "Dunkin Donuts" well worth the trip, folks.

I have used Automotive Specialist for my car repairs for the past 2.5 years. I wanted a reputable auto repair shop close to home. Dave and Dennis are always helpful. They know their cars!

The folks at Automotive Specialists have taken car of my cars for many years. They are courteous, do a great job, and have even taken me to work in town while they worked on the car. 👍

Super honest people, always stellar work! Very straight forward about what NEEDS to be fixed and what can be waited in. Always take my vehicles here.

Competent, honest and quick..
What more can I say. Priced below dealers for sure. A few times free when they looked and found nothing. I trust them now for 18 years.

Friendly, long time member of the auto service community, I've done business in this area for a long time and I have customers who wouldn't go anywhere else for repairs. Highly recommend.

Everyone I have talked to here has been very nice. They are honest, skilled people who do a great job.

Been coming here for 27 years. They do great work and are a knowledgeable group of mechanics.

Always very helpful and good at fixing my and my families cars.

Reliable, nice owners who are the mechanics, trustworthy

Wouldn’t take my car anywhere else.

Very professional, great service

Friendly place
