The owner here has been in the auto repair industry for two thirds of his life (he's 63 now). Mark originally opened this location with his sons Ronnie and Remi (they are still here)! Remi takes care of day to day operations and customer service while Ronnie takes on some of the work load in the service area.
In need of a tow? Call us first and we will recommend a towing provider to help the car reach our facility. We are capable of repairing many breakdowns from failed alternators to fuel pumps or injectors. We originally started as a muffler & brake shop. We are capable of repairing small sections of exhaust or installing full direct fit exhaust systems.

Amazing experience! My car broke down and needed a new alternator. I was told that it was going to take a few days because they were busy. However, to my surprise they were able to get my car fixed the same day it was taken in!

Not only are the prices fair and they provide details to help you understand what is going wrong or what you should look into in the future ...Marco is actually a friendly nice guy and will tell you upfront if things are better off done with insurance or if you need to go to a different shop and not waste your time or money like other places have done to me in the past. 100% recommend ..all my family now takes their car here ..Trust is such a hard thing to find and I'm glad we have this place to go to.

I've been going to Marco for a little over a year and haven't had any problems. My most recent visit today was because my engine light came on, I had the error code so I already knew what was wrong with it but let Marco tell me what they thought was wrong. Their assessment matched the code that I already had. I was pretty happy that the repair was free of charge because it's the same sensor I had already replaced and it was still under warranty. I will continue to go back to Marco for repairs.

Okay, so this guy said he was going to charge $88 per hour to diagnose the problem because he has to chase it and cant do that for regular $44/h. That was a red flag but I said fine because his shop is close to my home and it was convenient. When the work was finished the bill was $317 for the oil pressure sensor and wiper motor. Those parts are no more than $70-80. He gave me the invoice and it turns out that his total labor was $88/hr and not just the diagnostic. When I asked him about it he said that he was actually doing me a favor. Im a truck driver and semi truck repair shops charge somewhere

I went in the other day because I was having a hard time passing emissions. I had a friend work on what we thought was wrong and my check engine light was still on. Remi did a smoke test and didn't give me any hell for not taking it to a shop to get work done, thank you Remi. Turns out, I just needed the check engine light cleared and needed to do a full drive cycle to pass emissions. I appreciate his honesty and not trying to get more money out of me. Andddd...to top it off, I got back in my car and this little treat was on my dash. It made my night after such a stressful few days! Thanks

My bf came here today to see if they can do his breaks..we already had somebody look at the car and told us we needed new break pads for the front wheel..nevertheless we took it to Marco and he told us over 800 dollars telling us we need all new breaks for all four wheels and calibers. Wow what a rip off and he charged us 20 dollars for just checking the car giving us a bs total.

I was in desperate need of getting my brake pads and rotors replaced and I didn’t want to go into a major chain. So I googled places near my home and came across Marco’s and the reviews they received. I was able to receive an estimated quote over the phone and an ETA. When I arrived to the shop, I was greeted and felt good about leaving my car. My car was finished an 1/2 hour before I was told and the price was roughly the same! It was a breeze. My son and I especially enjoyed the bag full of treats they left by the steering wheel!

Professional and competitive ! While doing a routine oil and break service they discovered a recall, they handled the dealer inquiry assisted in prepping us for what to expect with this particular recall and even called to follow up to make sure the dealer had taken care of us! They definitely went above and beyond ! In all of my 25 year of driving and vehicle maintenance this place is hands down the best ! Thanks Marco See you soon

Love this place!! Wouldn't trust my car anywhere else. Just recently moved into the area and my fiancé and I both bring our cars here and have had great experiences. Always honest, I don't feel like they're trying to rip us off. Got a quote for my car from another place and Marco gave us a way less quote and my car is perfect! Even had a nice little "thank you" bag filled with chocolate in my car when I picked it up :) their customer service is on point!

I've been going to Marco's for over 2 years now and have had several serious repairs done. I always feel like they are upfront with me about the work they are going to perform and why. I have often checked on prices myself afterward and found that parts were priced fairly. I have not always been able to drop off my car and come back later but even so the repairs have been timely. Really appreciate their work.

My wipers cut out while on the nearby 294 highway during an ice storm. Needless to say, a stressful situation. I called Marco, the closest auto shop to my location. He went above and beyond to accommodate me quickly, even sending one of his employees to a local dealership to get the parts needed for the repair. He was truly a life saver.

This Place is a rip off! I have used them in the past at their lake in the hills location! They have fixed a exhaust system on my vehicle and within 6 months I had the same exact problem, except now it is worse and need to replace the entire exhaust system on my vehicle. I went to bring it back to the location only to find out that the business has been sold and none of my info was in the system due to previous owner which is Marco deleted all info. So, when I contact the Melrose park location, they refused to take any responsibility for their work.

Very awesome place of business! They communicate very well, very trusting and very nice people. I had work done that could have been easily scammed and made very expensive, they did everything they could to make it as cheap as possible and did a very awesome job. Would totally recommend!
