AMR Auto Moto Repair

I’ve had a lot of work done at AMR on my 2006 Chrysler over the years. They have always been not only honest with me regarding what I needed to do, but also very informative on how long I could wait to fix an issue, what the probability of something going wrong might be, and cheaper alternatives if I didn’t want to go with the standard option. I’ve literally had AMR manage all my repairs, maintenance and preventative maintenance for about 5 years. As a result no one can believe my car is 10years old with 140k miles. It runs like new. And I haven’t spent an arm and a leg. Just basic maintenance and few preventative things before they became major expensive issues. If you’re looking for honest, reasonable repairs and maintenance, I highly recommend AMR. I think of them as a partner in helping me get the most value and safety out of my car as opposed to a place to just get things fixed.

I live nearby and have my brought my two cars and motorcycle here.
I’ve had routine stuff done and emergency work. All done quickly, efficiently without any hassles. Before doing any work, he’ll tell me what the issue is, given an estimate then let me decide on what to do.
Regarding the emergency, my front axel was about to collapse as I wobbled down Western to drop it off. He had it repaired the next day. I asked if I should get the shocks done and he said for an older car, it’s not worth the investment and that it’ll last: an honest assessment and not telling me what I want to hear for an extra buck.
Another time I left my car running with the keys inside — and all the car doors locked. I had no spare. On a hunch, I went to Adrian’s shop and his guy was able to jimmy the door open. No charge but I gave him some cash anyway.
Regarding my motorcycle, they’ve replaced the brake pads and done routine maintenance with no issue. One time some clown knocked my bike over on the street when I wasn’t around and the clutch and brake pedal got bent. Adrian’s guy fixed both for free.
Today my headlight went out. I went to Pep Boys and they said $ 30 for each bulb, $ 125 for installation. I said I’ll take the bulbs and left. Adrian installed the lights for free with a Merry Christmas on my way out :-)
Anyway, I’m taking the time to write this because they’ve given me fantastic, personal service that deserves to be shared. And they’re all cool guys if you’re willing to take a few minutes just to talk and hang.
It’s funny scrolling through the reviews. Basically, people either love or hate the place. I’ll stand by Adrian and the good honest work he’s done and it’s a shame that others couldn’t experience the same service.

Had to get a replacement for my carburetor which required a search since my bike is so old. They did a search and found one. They did a great job of getting it running again.

What a cheater. I brought my bike in for a warranty claim. Adrian was pissed that he had to do the work for free. When I brought the bike in, the engine ran great. When I picked it up, it ran like crap and Adrian said that a rodent got into the bike. Clearly, in my opinion, he caused the damage trying to generate some revenue at my expense. Stay away from this place.

I want to give a special review for Adrian from AMR.
A couple of days ago my Honda CBR600rr died on me while on the highway. I managed to push it to a side street and had to leave it there for a few days for financial reasons and because I just haven’t had any time to get it fixed or looked at.
Sure enough, Adrian calls me saying he saw the bike on its side, noticed that he knew the bike, PICKED IT UP AND TOOK IT TO HIS PERSONAL GARAGE for safe keeping and out of the rain purely out of the goodness of his heart-​then called me to let me know it was safe. He said he would take a look at it to see what happened to it and let me know how much it would cost to fix. (I am sure it will be reasonable, they always are.) AMR has always taken good care of me and my bike-​Chicago can be cruel to a motorcycle and AMR has my back. HUGE shout out to Adrian for going above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks AMR!

Dont waste your time bringing you motorcycle here!!! It was a total waste of my time bringing my motorcycle here. It sat untouched for a week after they said they could work on it within a couple of days. «maybe have by the weekend» Clearly told them what I thought was wrong with it beforehand, and apparently they didn’t listen to me. They called me after a week to tell me that my repairs were going to cost me thousands of dollars in labor alone, and that it would take them months to fix the motorcycle! They then told me I should just sell the motorcycle. They obviously did not want to work on my MC and were trying to scare me off. I get to the place to pick up my motorcycle, rudely handed my key without a word, guy turns and walks away. I ask what is going on with my bike and he coldly says «no charge» and I ask «well did you even look at my bike?» guy says «I didn’t even touch your bike»!!! WTF? didnt even touch my bike but yet knew that it was going to cost me thousands of dollars to fix it? I took it to these guys after…
…and they had it running that day!!!
Like I said don’t waste your time with these over-​priced goons. Really bad customer service on top of utter incompetency… not what you are looking for in a mechanic.
take your bike to these guys. true professionals with great customer service…

I called them after they worked on my bike to let them know that I was coming back to have them properly repair the brakes. Adrian (the owner) grew upset with me because I complained that they did not fix the problem with my motorcycle. When I returned to the shop so that they could fix the problem, Adrian (pouting) said that he did not want to work on my Harley and that he would return my the money I paid for the «work» they did. He wouldn’t even look me in the eye. Childish. If you are in that area and are looking to get work done to your motorcycle bring it to

I can’t ask for more in automotive repair. Great service, very reasonable rates, quick turnaround time, and patient explanations of what is going on and what my options are. I trust these mechanics and recommend them to anyone in search of honest car repair.

I’ve been here 2 separate times for different issues — once with a 2011 Mitsu Evo GSR (4 x brake disc and pad replacement) and once with a 2013 VW Golf R (Chicago potholes, you know?). Each time Adrian has been great, given me a no BS assessment, and been flexible with parts. Highly recommended.

We had been having issues with an oil light coming on. It took a couple of visits, but AMR techs worked hard to fix this issue with our Volkswagon.
We will definitely come back for upkeep of our vehicle and are very grateful for their patience and diligence.

Courteous, Professional, and reasonably priced. I brought my bike in for some tire work and I was in/​out in 30 min. 3 plugs later… They took their time to talk through a game plan on some items I need to take care of. I like the fact that they are OK with installing parts (inc. tires) that you bring in. Find the best price online and save money… they don’t have to deal with stock. Makes sense. Not all places are like that!

Brought my bike here, decided to get a tune up and asked for a diagnostic of any other issues. When I got it back the guy didn’t say much, and as I pulled out, the engine throttled wildly. I decided to get the bike home and check it out, seems as if now my throttle is sticky and it does not want to idle correctly– which was not an issue before. What sucks is there was no dialogue about this issue between the shop and me. It’s as if they never turned the bike on to check their work before calling it done. $ 230 later I now need to bring the bike in again, but this time it will be to a real motorcycle shop.

Called AMR for a Quote on a Car repair, the receptionist was very polite and friendly and they actually gave me a quote without seeing my car… that is rare if you’ve ever called a mechanic asking for a quote…
i dropped my car of the next day and requested to have it back by 2pm — they called me at 1pm and said it was done, an hour early… again, rare in the auto repair industry.
Great local shop — highly recommend. fast, friendly and fare pricing.

I feel fortunate to have found such a great mechanic! Being new to the city I was very nervous on where to take my car. AMR doesn’t just change parts, they address the issue. They were honest, fair in price and clean! I have and will continue to visit Adrian and the boys at AMR for all my service needs!

These guys are honest, patient and friendly. They thoroughly explain everything the car requires and often have alternative, less expensive options. The shop is almost overwhelmingly accommodating and they clearly understand the value of repeat business.
After a Volkswagen dealership recently gave me a laundry list of repairs that «needed» attention, the owner at AMR, Adrian Labyce, went to bat for me by calling the dealership and uncovered their dishonesty. He saved me about $ 2,000 and a load of stress.
It’s a clean, organized shop. More businesses should have such integrity. It’s no wonder that they’ve received so many five star reviews.

TEN STARS!!!
Luckily, my truck overheated on the eway right by the Fullerton exit, so I was able to drive right in to AMR. Adrian (the owner) met me and asked what the problem was. I explained the numerous problems, and he had me wait while he diagnosed everything. Adrian gave me an estimate right then and there. Very reasonable and fair. I had asked him to have my oil changed, also, and when they went to do so, they noticed there was a bad leak in my oil pan. Get this… Adrian texted me and SENT PICS of the problem! When my truck repairs were complete, I went to pick it up… and Adrian SHOWED ME THE OLD PARTS!!! Wanna talk about HONEST? All in all, a wonderful experience… and, hey… the guys are even HOTT! :-P

AMR Auto is a thorough, professional, courteous and friendly repair shop. Adrian takes time to explain repair work to you and obviously cares about and values his customers. The work was done quickly and he explained and then showed me on his computer how the estimates and costs are calculated. That kind of blew my mind. He pulled back the mechanic’s curtain with no hesitation and revealed it’s not some big secret and there is an actual system to estimates.
I can trust AMR and Adrian to do what they say they’re going to do and do it right the first time. I would highly recommend AMR and feel confident saying they’re honest, reliable and skilled professionals.

The best car repair experience I have had in years. when I had to have my car towed to his shop, he took the time to show me me what the problems were and gave me a very fair estimate of the cost. after the repairs were made, he showed me all the old parts that were replaced so that I could see both the old and the new. I am so happy that I took the advice of many of my friends and had my Jeep repaired at this shop. Fast, honest and fair. and my jeep now runs perfectly

I recently took my 2008 Passat in for an oil change and a full service check up since its been a while… I was pretty nervous since I always seem to end up spending more money than i need to and being a female, I was always scared I was getting scammed! I’m happy to say I’ve FINALLY found a place where I can leave my car with people I TRUST and know won’t over charge me for services I don’t need.
As a single female in Chicago, I’m ecstatic to have found these guys! So helpful, knowledgeable and respectful!!!
THANKS TO THE ENTIRE CREW OF AMR! You guys got yourself a loyal customer here!

Adrian is the new owner of this establishment. He provides service with a smile, my car needed a tune up and they provided a great service for a reasonable price, and even washed the inside and outside of my car which was a pleasant surprise. It’s a local place which is nice. I may come here again.
