With locations in Evanston, Wilmette, Northbrook, and now Libertyville, Heart Auto Care emphasizes honest, transparent, and high-quality certified auto care North Shore drivers can rely on.

Why Mike Foster Chose HEART

After 36 years of building one of Libertyville’s most trusted auto repair businesses, owner Mike Foster carefully considered who would carry Duxler Libertyville Tire forward. He didn’t hand the keys to just anyone.

“When the time came to decide who would carry this place forward, I took that responsibility seriously,” Foster wrote to his customers. “I chose HEART Certified Auto Care, and I am proud of that choice.”

What drew him to HEART went beyond their reputation for quality work. It was their commitment to employees. The average HEART team member has been with the company for over 13 years. It was also their investment in local communities and their dedication to treating customers honestly and with respect. “You are in good hands,” he assured his loyal Libertyville customers.

What HEART Certified Auto Care Brings to Libertyville

HEART isn’t a newcomer to the Chicago area. The brand grew out of the same Duxler auto care tradition that made this location what it is. The original Duxler shops on the North Shore rebranded to HEART in 2017, and they’ve been expanding ever since.

3-Year / 36,000-Mile Warranty: Every repair comes backed by one of the strongest warranties in the industry — covering parts and labor, honored at any HEART location and nationwide through their warranty network. Previously Duxler offered a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty.
98% Same-Day Service: Most repairs are completed the same day you bring the car in.
Free 33-Point Digital Inspection: Every vehicle that comes in gets a full digital inspection with photos. You’ll see exactly what the technicians see, in real time.
ASE-Certified Technicians: Every tech on the floor holds ASE certification.
Transparent Pricing: You’ll know what you’re paying before any work begins. No surprise line items, no upselling tactics.

A Legacy Built Over Decades, Now Backed by More Resources

The history of this shop on Milwaukee Avenue goes back to 1981. More than 40 years of serving Libertyville families, commuters, first-time car owners, and longtime regulars.

That legacy doesn’t disappear when the name changes. HEART preserves it while adding:

Stronger warranty coverage
A broader parts network to keep costs competitive
A digital inspection platform for transparency
Support from a growing organization focused on quality control

Ratchet+Wrench Magazine named HEART one of the industry’s top all-star shops in 2025.
