I am most satisfied with quality and care of service provided. Details of what was needed were clearly explained. Invoice was super easy to read. Everyone with whom I engaged was courteous. And then they applied lots of those lovely coupons we receive in the mail. It was a wonderful experience and preferred to the car dealership. I will be back.

The oil change was fast as I waited for the car. The technician explained all the other services I would need in the future including brakes. It’s always a pleasure to visit Heart and they have a very comfortable waiting room. Thank you!

Been taking our cars to Heart for over 25 years. Always top-shelf service, spelling out whether work is must-do now, must-do eventually but can wait 6 months, or best to do for longevity/performance reasons but really my choice. Once I make that decision the work is done quickly, professionally, and at a fair price.

Always great. I have been going here for over 25 years. They are honest, reputable and do great work. They have never suggested doing work that doesn’t need to be done. They never take advantage of their customers. I have recommended them to others for years. It’s my only place to go for car needs. The “front of house” are always great. Keisha especially.

Went in for an oil change and to have one of my tires checked out. I aslo found out I needed to have one of my wheel hum and bearing replaced. My Camery is 18 yearts old and I want it to last. So I had the extra work done. My car rides great. That is way I can trust the work done by you, Even the smallest problems can lead into major ones that is way i also bring my car to you. Your work is fantastic.

Estimate and work on both my older low mileage vehicles was done in a timely fashion after a detailed discussion. More big ticket items needed to be fixed to make them road worthy and running like new than I had initially thought but they fixed it right the first time and the work is guaranteed for two years so it was worth it since I plan to keep both for several more years.
Scott Stern
16:42 25 Oct 24
Heart is a very trustworthy mechanic! They do great work and you'll pay for it for sure, but you know the work is done well and it's backed up with a warrantee. On my way out Armando, the manager mentioned the work they did will feel like I'm driving a new car. He was right!

Fantastic shop. Work was done as promised and on time. First time in a long time I haven’t had to endure condescension and recommendations for unnecessary work by service techs. Waiting area is comfortable and no TV blaring! Great coffee options and even fresh popped popcorn for snacks. Keisha brightens your day when she greets you.

Having good and fair auto service is a must in life. I've been nothing but happy with HEART Auto Care. Not only has their service been spot on a resolved every issue I've had, but they've offered excellent advice on what service is necessary and what isn't, saving me money and allowing me to make smart decisions about our cars. Compared to the expensive and high pressure car dealer services, it's great to have an alternative that takes care of all our auto needs. Ben always makes room in their schedule for us and the turnaround is always quick. I highly recommend HEART at 1201 Green Bay in Wilmette.

The customer service rep gave me a phone number for a tow truck service that they use. The mechanic called me and broke down each issue to a person with minimal understanding of car issues. He found a cheaper priced off market part. I even got a follow-up text asking how my car is running now. The whole experience was great Iwill definitely use them again!! Very trust worthy company.

David Fireside

A good mechanic that you trust is hard to find. Not here. Armando kept us informed from the beginning. No work is performed until you 'sign off' on it. They take photos and explain to you what is wrong, what needs to be addressed immediately and what you need to keep an eye in the not too distant future. The entire staff is friendly, professional and trustworthy.

I took my car in for an oil change. At the end I was told I needed front brakes, break flush and my battery was low. Armando help me space these out, but I ultimately had it done in one visit. I was given a ride home and was picked up when my car was done. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. I recommend Heart and will definitely use them in the future.

I was rear-ended on the freeway and needed my car checked before driving home to DC. HEART Wilmette did a free inspection and miraculously nothing was wrong. They wouldn’t let me leave a tip so am leaving a review instead. This is the best experience at a shop I’ve had in a long time and I think ever for something automotive. It felt like a nice local shop you hear about from the 90s but almost never see today

You guys were great. You and Sam responded quickly with my situation, although I researched the problem. 2 things I was on the fence with if you get the job the diagnosis should be either reduced or free! 2nd , if the customer should be offered the choice for disposal of artifacts from their vehicle. Hence, shop cost! If there's no lubricants etc., why the charge? Other than those 2 , Excellent service!

HEART always goes above and beyond. They are detailed in explaining what your car repairs are, but they never try to oversell you on anything. They always deliver your car back to you in a timely fashion. When our car needed an emergency repair they were quick to fit us in. We've been with HEART (formerly Duxler) for over 20 years and wouldn't dream of using anyone else!

I had such a wonderful experience taking my vehicle here for an oil change! All of the employees were fantastic, and they worked very quickly on my vehicle to have me in and out of their service shop. They were also able to fit me in for an appointment the day before my request, too. The only downside is that they're only open Monday through Friday 😞 I normally get my vehicles serviced on the weekends due to my crazy work schedule. But, I'll definitely make it work going forward because I absolutely need my vehicles to be treated with absolute great care.

I have been going to Heart auto long before their name change years ago. I have experienced honest and quality work. Most recently, several months ago, I had some work done but had to bring my car back in earlier this week with a related minor issue. Even months later, they made a simple fix as a follow up free of charge and got me back on the road the same day.

Smiling friendly faces everywhere! They had me in and out of there in no time and they also took the time to inspect my car and came out with a comprehensive report of what I needed. I am absolutely going back and they are definitely my new go-to for any car services! I would have given them 10 stars if allowed!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
