As a woman its always hard to find a trustworthy repair shop. I don't know anything about cars but what i do know is i can always trust this shop. They have been nothing short of honest and fair to me. My car always gets repaired correctly the first time. I really appreciate your hard work and service! Thank you Fima and Misha.

I brought in my van for service thinking i had major issues. The shop was able to diagnose the misfire and rectify the matter within hours. They were honest, fast, and accurate in diagnosis. No wasted time or money. Thank you!

Motorists beware!!! Stay away from that place!
I brought in the car for a simple wheel alignment and was told that the rear suspension needed extensive repairs for over $1,800. I agreed, and paid the invoice upon "completion". The very next day, my wife and daughter almost got killed on a highway because the car swerved violently and could not keep the lane. Upon bringing the car back to 3C Automotive, they confirmed the swerving, and requested more repairs for an additional $850. At that point I was sick of them and looked for a second opinion. What the second opinion revealed was sickening:

Had them replace my front brakes and install new 35” wheels and rims on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
They addressed all my concerns issues and Xenomorph is back in action like a champion!
Added a few pictures of the little lady after the work they had done.
Very satisfied with their work!

Ripped me off and my car broke down with the same problem two days later. I would highly advise that you don't take your car here.

Quick service, good prices, honest mechanics. Fima always explains what needs to be done on the car - what is urgent and what can wait. Work gets completed on time, as promised. Highly recommend!

Came there twice to fix very simple thing - spark plug and coil ... Guess how much it is cost up here? $250 ... I paid it cause I tried to repair my little car quickly. But it is insane price for 30 minutes of work. I can provide a receipt if you ask me ... And also they are requesting deposit. I will never come back here and I will never recommend this business to anyone

Mike gave me a positive customer service experience by letting me keep my appointment, even though I was thirty minutes late arriving because my GPS sent me to the wrong address.

3C Automotive and Repair is located at 8256 Lincoln Avenue in Skokie. It's located in Downtown Skokie, just two blocks from Oakton Community College.

I used a LivingSocial voucher for an oil change, tire rotation, and 25-point inspection. The whole process took under thirty minutes. I came to 3C because I wanted a lower price for the oil change than the $35 I would pay for an oil change with my current mechanic

About a month ago, I would have given 3C 5 stars. I went to them in need of an air condition recharge. They had a special priced at $49.99, so I took advantage of it. My overall first impression was ok. The men there were knowledgable and quick. Fast forward 2 weeks and my air conditioner is no longer working. I thought something critical was wrong with my vehicle. I let another 2 weeks pass and decided to take my car to Autozone to see exactly what was wrong and they told me that I needed freon. They also said that in Illinois, a recharge is only needed every 4 years. I, now, reside in Ca and

This is the best mechanic in Chicago, russian (and english) speaking. Been going there for years and many people I referred there are extremely satisfied. Best prices combined with best quality, usually half to what you'd pay in places like Pep-boys or Car-x . Example for my car new upgrades and installation (might be different for yours): 15 inch tires with alignment $100 each, muffler $150, 2 premium brake pads and rotors for $200, compressor $400, full synthetic oil change $50. They run pretty busy so you may need to leave car for the day if it's something serious. Walking distance

If i could give them -5 stars i would.
I was recently looking to buy a used car and wanted to get it checked out before purchasing. I purchased a Groupon now for a oil change and 45 point inspection. I asked the very rude Russian behind the counter if this would work for me and he says yes, but that he can't take me for about an hour. The guy I bought the car from pulls right in with no wait 5 minutes later, no questions. Then the Russian tells me that I cannot use my groupon and that I now have to pay twice as much. Seeing how I want to get this over with I agree.

The mechanic then tells

This place gave very bad service. Everyone works there are angry Russian people. They will ignore you and they will talk down to you for no reason! I don't know why they are still in business. Stay away....

Fima and Mike are the two most important dynamic duals that you MUST have on your speed dial. They are experienced, reliable and honest Russian-Americas with outstanding customer service and work history. I have been going to them for over 5 years now and never had a complain. They have been taking car of not only my 3 cars but my extended family goes to them too. I want to recommend them to anyone who is looking for get a GOOD service for their car.
