Honest and good service. I bought a used Acura TSX and took it to Hernandez's for inspection. They were very friendly and was also informative about what they found on the car. He informed me that everything is good but the oil needs change. I gave it a go and noticed that the oil was actually black as he was draining it (previous owner wasn't honest to me probably). What I found impressive is that they were honest about the car's condition and told me there is nothing to worry. I have seen plenty of bad mechanics who lie and tell the customer that such and such parts need replacement but from my first experience I think these people are ethical. They also didn't overcharge me either. I was charged 75$ for Synthetic oil+oil change+inspection. Will come again.

I went to Hernandez Auto wanting to make sure my 2006 Honda Accord was safe to drive to New York from Chicago for Christmas this year and after having other negative experiences with different auto mechanics in the area (especially coming in as a woman). Hernandez really showed me they cared and took very intentional and thoughtful care of my car, including running multiple diagnostics and thoroughly inspecting and test driving my car. They also remember that I was driving that far and were really clear about wanting it to be safe on such a long car drive. They ended up fixing and replacing a ball joint for me for a really manageable price. I had a great experience and will definitely come by next time I have an issue. :)

  • Paul Fox

Thank you for being fair, fast, and skilled. Battery and alternator died and I had replaced the battery but had the auto supply test the system again and it reported the alternator was also bad. This city isn’t my home so I was relatively lost, and my “home,” mechanic couldn’t even see me for a week. In a world of cheats and thieves, these folks stand apart. This was truly one of the highlights of my experience with Chicago. Good people can make a bad situation simply inconvenient and my gratitude for their kindness and honesty, speed and skill is sincere. Thank you for installing the alternator!

  • Alexandra Schiano

It's a small shop so you need to call ahead and not drop by, but I've never felt so loyal and affectionate towards a mechanic shop in my life. Honest, straight forward, good people here, and fair prices. They saved my car when another mechanic (hi L&L!) botched an oil change, and they could/should have charged me 3x as much. I would stand outside and spin advertising signs for these guys for FREE if I thought it would help their business... Not that they need it, because other customers of theirs that I've met seem to feel the same way. A++, trust these guys with your vehicle.

  • Tim Serges

Excellent service and quality product used. I decided to try local service since my vehicle was pretty much limited to 5 mph and I didn't want to drive a long distance to my normal mechanic. I had severe drive-shaft issues on a Chevy SUV. They did the job for 25% less than Pep Boys quote (ok only 10% if I used Pep Boys 15% off service coupon, but still Hernandez was less), and they used the more expensive quality name brand parts, not the generic parts quoted by Pep Boys. Car drives great.

  • Mika Roach

Wouldn’t work on my car unless I had a brand new key, After spending $90 on a key... they still wouldn’t touch or repair my car. Was rushed to get it out of the shop immediately; even though I was paying for tows. After all the running around, they misdiagnosed my car. Keep in mind, I called them maybe 6 times prior with questions and explaining what is wrong with my car. Not one thing was fixed, money was wasted, and the service was rude. Wouldn’t recommend, go to a different auto shop!

  • Rudy Metra

Honest shop with honest pricing. I've been taking my car here for over a year and will never take my car anywhere else. The owner is an honest guy who never over charges. They tell you whats wrong and give you your options to do the work. The last job he did for me took longer than expected but they honored the original estimate. No Upselling, No tricks, No BS. It's hard to find a decent shop that wont try to sell you a million services. Love the guys @ Hernandez, keep up the good work!

  • Tamisha Davis

They took the time to inspect the car and make sure it was safe and ready for my upcoming long haul. They gave me a competitive price, got all the work done the same day, and every single person I encountered was incredibly sweet, pleasant, and more than helpful. I owe a safe 14 hour drive to this amazing team. They have done a good bit of work on my car over the last two years and are now my trusted mechanic. Cannot speak highly enough of my experience with them!

  • Lisa Rossi

My car was taken to 2 other places brakes for less on Clark and t auto on Broadway neither place fixed the problem said my car was good the other replaced muffler charged a lot still same noise.mr Hernandez test drove my car and diagnosed the problem. He did charge top $ for services but I will expect to pay for such quality work.my car runs like new and is such a pleasure to drive. Thank-you again I will be back for any thing that needs to be done. Lisa

  • roger barrera

I had a repair done. After collecting my car about three blocks away I noticed my anti lock brake light was on and it wasnt on before bringing it to them. I immediately returned there only to find they quickly locked up their business and hid. Returning the next day they pretended to be concerned but said they were too busy to find out what happened just then. Said they would call me tomorrow. I guess it's TRUE tomorrow never comes. BUMS AND CROOKS

  • Ethan Stoller

I had a great experience at Hernandez Auto Repair. Not only was the work done competently, quickly and at a reasonable price, they went above and beyond. I had a lingering disputed insurance claim related to this repair, and Aurelio made sure that I was properly equipped with all the documentation I needed to succeed in getting the claim approved (including ways I wouldn't have thought of). I'll be loyal customer form now on!

  • Joe H

I cannot speak towards the service only my experience over the phone. Whomever answered was speaking to me as though I was annoying with my question about the amount of time it would take to give me a quote on a repair. You'll need to leave it for one or two days. I took my business elsewhere and the issue was a quick fix that took less than 30 mins.

  • Liz “Zak” Idzakovich

We were introduced to Hernandez Auto when our usual place became too busy, and I'm so glad! We've taken our aging car there a few times and have been super impressed by the quality of work, attention to detail, and great prices. The customer service is among the best, and they're so friendly and welcoming. Be sure to check them out!

  • Charles Ramsdell

my mother actually turned me on to Hernandez. They never tried to upsell her with useless add-ons that were completely unnecessary (as so many of those shady places will do). They're professional, they are efficient, and their work is exemplary every time. I won’t bring my car anywhere else so long as I live in Chicago.

  • Franco Lucar

This was one of the best auto shop experiences I’ve had so far. Is not a fancy shop with bottles of water or free coffee but man the customer service is great. Went there for an oil change(half the price I would pay at Jiffy) and was in and out very quick. The two men working there were very helpful.

  • Julie Bednark

Hernandez Auto Repair is simply fantastic. They fixed everything on my car for an insanely reasonable price and were honest as to what actually needed to be fixed, unlike many places in Chicago. I am recommending to all my friends and will be returning for all my future car repairs/tune up needs!

  • R. Flores

I spent a week going back and forth with these guys about getting an inspection and estimate for flood damage on a car. They told me they would follow up, but never did. Finally after calling them back for the third time, they told me they won’t do it. These guys are unprofessional.

  • Jose Diaz

Professionals! fast and good solid work. These guys understand that you need your vehicle Back ASAP. Every time I take my truck in for service they literally show me what's wrong, they give me my options, then they get the job done and show me the parts that were replaced or fixed.

  • Becka Liu

I know next to nothing about cars but they took the time to show me what was wrong and what it should have looked like. They also asked for me to bring the car back in a couple of days to check on it and gave me a one year warranty on the parts. They were great!

  • Moriel Daniel

Rarely review and went solely on Google reviews so I felt I must do my part. These guys were honest, speedy and knowledgeable. Hopefully, I won’t need more car repairs, but if I do - you’ll find me here! (And I have a 2011 Camry, so they know their cars!)

  • Ricky Bramba

My wife has her OBGYN next door, so when I needed some things replaced in my car, I decided to give this shop a go. Owner was very receptive and did a nice job with the parts I provided. Car is running great again! Highly recommend.

  • L Hudgins

This is hands down the most honest and ethical repair shop I have experienced. Aurelio, co-owner and manager is honest and understands the need to prioritize repairs when there are multiple issues. I highly recommend Hernandez Auto!

  • Tamara Drew

AMAZING service. Fast. Affordable. And not at all awkward to sit there while my car was being fixed (which is to be commended!). Recommend to anyone with exhaust needs. 10/10 for real …

  • Mikey N

Great experience! Fit us in the busy schedule, found the source of my problem, ordered in foreign parts with no hassle, even waited a few minutes past close for me to show. Thanks again Aurelio

  • Rodney Cassell

Every time I go there he does a good job on my car and I don't have to wait too long I might be a day if she has somebody else but the man does a good job and I will always take my car to him

  • Stacey Carpenter

Got an estimate over the phone from Aurileo that morning, and my car was ready for pick up later that day. Great customer service, quality work, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

  • D G (DG)

They don’t hassle you for anything extra, they fit me in no problem and changed my oil in about half an hour while I waited. Best value, and seemed down to earth. Will def be going back.
