Maltos Auto Service Inc

Julio and his staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating. Not only will they answer any questions you may have but they will also not push you into getting an unnecessary service without your acknowledgement. Very informative staff and reasonable pricing. Exceptional customer service by Julio and his team. I highly recommend!

I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have found Maltos. I live up the street on Kimball and I came to Maltos on a whim when I first moved to Chicago last year to ask them about installing a mount for my front license plate. They took care of it immediately and charged me half the price they originally quoted. Upon the recommendation of another customer who was there at the time, I decided to continue coming back.
I have two ~15 year old cars and I’ve gone to Maltos a number of times now for routine and repair services. They are always fair, accommodating, straightforward, and most importantly honest. For instance, when my Camry started giving us trouble we decided to take it in for a full checkup and address some existing issues (inside door handle was broken, back window was broken). They told me everything that was wrong with the car, told me which things were imperative, which things were cosmetic, and which things I could hold off on if I wanted. No pressure, no games. I trust these guys implicitly and that’s an infinitely valuable quality for a mechanic.
I couldn’t give a business a stronger recommendation than I feel Maltos deserves.

I took my car here this past week for some repairs. They were awesome! I was able to get my car in and out in the same day, and the pricing was very fair. They called me each time they found a problem to ask if I would like it repaired before just going ahead and doing it, and told me all costs ahead of time so there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend them!

A friend of ours recommended Maltos so we gave it a try. I must say I am very happy and impressed with the owner Julio and Pete! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Pete and Julio both know what they are doing when it comes to cars and more importantly Julio and his staff provide great customer service. I brought in my GMC Envoy two days in a row for work and both times I was very happy with their work! I found my new auto service shop!!!

I’ve taken my Toyota in for repairs a couple of times. The service is quick and courteous. Julio is very understanding and flexible. The staff is very knowledgeable and they have always been very thorough. They’ve always walked me through every repair and the reasons for them.

Called here and asked about having my car checked out. They were friendly and said to come by. I brought my car in and the assessed the problem and asked for a deposit in case they had to order parts. Stated that they would call me later in day to give me an estimate. Never called. I called back two days later, they then said they hadn’t had a chance to check into the price. Called me back later that afternoon with price. I stated that I didn’t want to have the work done at that time as it was bit more than I could afford. They told me they were taking my deposit, they did no work and had ordered no parts.

Maltos is Great… I found them for brake work a few months ago and have been bringing my cars back ever since. I’ve had brake work, AC repair, exhaust, rear wheel/​pinion bearing work done. Maltos has two shops (I go to the one on Montrose but there is another on Lawrence) and pretty much does it all between those two. Quality Service and Good Pricing. Julio, the owner, is very good with cars. I’m a mechanical engineer and know, for the most part, my way around a car and know if I’m getting BS’d. No BS from Julio. He explained and showed me what the problems are and never tried to slick talk me into getting any work done. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust. I’ve put off car repairs for years because I couldn’t find one I felt I wouldn’t get hosed on. Maltos is now my shop. They’ve been great every time. Would Definitely Recommend.
