Evanston
Always a great experience at HEART. They worked to fit me in when I had a tire issue and made me feel comfortable. Keisha and Sam at the front desk are always fantastic! Friendly, empathetic, professional. I will be back!

Sharing gratitude for the fantastic service I received at Heart. Jacob worked with me to understand my auto repair needs and price point, and helped me arrive at a solution that met both. He was very thorough in his explanations. I can definitely feel the positive impact of Heart's repairs on my car's driving performance. I highly recommend!

Heart Evanston is the best. I always get my car back the same day, in better condition than it arrived. Many of their services are under warranty, and that alone has saved me a ton. Everyone who works there is kind and patient, and more than willing to explain costs, car repairs, and which services I can deprioritize if necessary. I recommend them to all of my friends and coworkers. I won’t take my car anywhere else.
Reviewer: Charlie T.
Evanston
The service at Heart Auto Evanston was thorough and diligent in diagnosing my worrisome headlight problem, which could have been fairly minor or could have been very expensive. I especially appreciate their approach to try fixing the minor problem first to see if it holds. It did, my budget thanks you.
