I Can Fix This! is Chicago's oldest running, most established, and lowest cost do-it-yourself auto repair garage. We are located in the Northern Suburbs and welcome all DIY auto repair work. We welcome everyone- from those who want to start to learn how to work on their vehicle to seasoned auto enthusiasts and tuners.

Are you an UBER or Lyft driver and want to dramatically lower your maintenance costs? We can help you too! Worried you might start something you can't finish or can't handle? Dale, the shop owner, is an ASE-certified mechanic who will help oversee your work and make sure all your repairs go according to plan.
Services
We have a complete set of tools for most common repairs. All tools are available at no extra charge except a tire and balance machine. All tools are inspected before use. In order to provide continuous, uninterrupted quality service to all customers, we ask you return the tools in the condition in which they were received.
I Can Fix This! also offers drop-off repairs done by Dale who is ASE certified or other mechanics on staff at very reasonable rates. We do any and all all auto repairs up to engine and transmission replacement or complete overhauls. Whatever you need, you can drop it off and it will be fixed. If your car was in an accident, we partner with an on-site body shop where we coordinate the mechanical repairs and body work.

Dale is amazing! He is so patient and persistent. I had an extremely strange issue with my car that took checking about a thousand connections and he did it!!! And without charging me millions. Very knowledgeable, reliable, honest, empathetic, and funny mechanic.

Dale is absolutely amazing !! He literally was a God send to me ! My Jeep Wrangler broke down while me and 2 teenage girls were visiting six flags for 2 days for a little vacation ! From the moment I called the first name on googles list of mechanics near by he set my mind at ease and he did not disappoint! I can not say enough about him , he was so accommodating and was soo reasonable with his prices ! I wish we didn’t live 3 hrs away he would be my mechanic for life !!

The owner is very helpful. He will go out of his way to help you while you work on your car even when he's busy with other customer cars. And if you don't have time to work on your own car he charges a very reasonable rate to do work to your car.

Daleq the owner of the company is a crook .
Stay away for this guy , he will lie in your face , and btw do not leave anything on his shop because he will sell it . Left an air compressor worth $1500 for him to hold it and 1 weeks later he sells it , without even telling me . And when questioned he said i dont know what happen , i asked to look at the cameras , he said they dont work . Stay away from these crooks .

Very impressed with the quality of work I got from here. I got two different answers from two different places about what I needed done. The two answers would have cost me over $1200 and I got referred here by one of my good friends so I stopped in. Dale took care of my issue and it cost me less than $160 and the problem was fixed. He actually spent almost two hours on my car and checked everything thoroughly even though his first instinct was correct. I would highly recommend this place and this person and will come here 50 miles away from Hoffman Estates just to have him work on my cars. Thank

High quality work and service! Dale was very friendly and is clearly extremely knowledgeable. Fair pricing and fast turnaround on my car fix. He provided quotes, updates, and invoicing via email. Dale wore a mask, provided hand sanitizer, and kept a safe distance during our interactions. I'd definitely visit again! Inside of the shop looks like the photos (a tad messy) but that does not detract from the great service!

Super nice guy, very knowledgeable. Fair price. Someone posted, "not clean"... well it’s a garage! All I can say is my bay was free of oil and debris, the lift worked, and I got my work done quickly. He offered to help if I needed it, and handed me a socket extension as soon as I asked. I think Dale is a good guy and his business model is perfect for the diy-er that wants to save money. I would feel confident going to his place and getting his opinion about any issue with my car, especially if you need to lift the vehicle and inspect it.

Great experience. I called ahead to make sure if any bays were open. Dale was quite busy for the day but he took the time to accommodate my schedule and situation. He's very helpful and genuine. I plan on coming back here again in the future.

I'm a regular customer, because this place is fantastic. all be it hard to find and a tad disorganized I promise that will never compromise the service. the owner Dale is the only worker there but he will work with you hands on and try to help you in any way possible. I found that for a one man garage the turn around time is always quick, always done correctly, and you will confidently get you vehicle back with some friendly banter in between. this man has become my personal go-to mechanic and everyone in need of a repair should just see this man and get back to cruising.
