Shin’s Accu Auto

They not worth 1 star.
My wife hit side brick on front wheel.
My car keep going towards one side. I bring it to them.
They repair.
I spend almost $ 1000 for four tire at Costco.
In 2 month, I got flat tire.
I check my tire. Two front tire worn out one side only.
I ask them repair again.
They do it again but it still worn out one side.
This time I ask them repair and replace my new tire because it was there mistake and I had to replace 3 times on 2 front tire.
They told me that they repair and replace 1 new tire.
But still same thing happen.
I bring it to the other repair shop.
They told me that this is not new and they this wrong
I was busy. My wife bring back to Shin’s auto.
Guess what they told my wife.
Replace tire every 6 month.
What a idiot.
My wife and I realized that they done have skill and not want to talk to them again.
I went to other repair shop and it works great.
I hope same think happen to there family and run into same problem that my wife and I go through.
He is not skilled person and not have responsibility on their work.
I will not go back to this shop again.

Really friendly staff. Couldn’t quite fix what I needed done. But it was difficult and close to closing. He did what he could and I appreciated the thoughtfulness.

Honest mechanics and they don’t rip you off. Cheap oil change.

Man, really honest guy who charges excellent prices for solid work. It is a no-​frills, old school joint that can easily be missed cause it’s a gas station (no fancy coffee and waiting room here). But the work is dependable and he gains repeat customers. .. at least in my circle of friends and family.

I have used shins for years and am very very pleased with the service and the prices. A+++

Top notch shop! Very professional handling your vehicle needs!

Walked in at 10 AM on a Friday morning in February and they were able to take me right away. I was awkward at first because I wasn’t sure where to walk in or wait, but they let me hang out in the garage with them. Pedro did my oil change and let me ask a ton of questions about the process. I’d never seen an oil change live before so I was fascinated. He was so patient with me, explained everything, checked my tire pressure, filled up my antifreeze, showed me where the power steering stuff went, and made sure that my «check oil» light was indeed off before asking for the standard $ 25.
These guys are no frills, get in and get done kind of workers. This was my second time here and I will remain a loyal customer for as long as I’m working in this area!

I had serviced my car since 2009 here and I have to say Mr. Shin (Korean) is honest tech I have ever met.
Often times you go to repair shop they always try to get you additional repairs, often times unnecessary. Mr. Shin would tell you when you need to get it, and he will often say TODAY is not the day. He also refer me to a tire shop down the road where I got a good discount on tires. Before then I had tire rack ship the tires to the shop and have them install it for me.
This place is inside the Mobil gas station, don’t go into the shop next door which also has the shop in the gas station. There is B&N book store and Whole Food Grocery just around the corner to wait but you can also sit and watch the repair being performed. I pay cash for small stuff but they do take credit card.

I brought in my car after the check engine light came on and it died every time I came to a stop. I was never given a call to say what was wrong or if they can start work on it. An hour before close I gave them a call and was told it was done. It didnt sound good on the way home and they were already closed. Two days later the check engine light came back on and same problem. Pointless visit.

After reading all the positive reviews I decided to go to this place for regular oil change. I smelled oil on the next few days when I had AC turned on, but didn’t pay much attention. Very recently I noticed some leakage in my parking garage. When I opened up the front lid, it turned out that they forgot to put back the oil cap after the oil change!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Definitely the worst car service I’ve ever had.

Brought my 97 dodge caravan piece of shit into shins without an appointment for an inspection and they took me in even though it seemed like they were busy. Very quick, very friendly service gave me a run down of what was wrong with my car. Definitely would recommend.

Shin’s is a good place to get work done as long as they are familiar with the car. Dan, who used to work here, was really good (I have no idea where he went to). Mr. Shin is very good as well. Mr. Shin’s other assistants are only OK. I stayed to watch them do some recent work which was a good idea because they would have forgotten a couple parts otherwise. Mr. Shin corrected them.
Overall, I’d recommend Shin’s for basic maintenance and general troubleshooting if you have a more common car or if Mr. Shin does the work himself. They have easily the best prices in the North Shore and do solid work for most things, but if you have a less common car be sure to watch them do the work so you know they don’t forget anything.

DAN no longer works here, but HE did pretty good work done on my vw passat. It needed front brakes pads and rotors at reasonable prices too. Next is the timing belt… uggghhhh! But now i have a new mechanic in Rogers Park.

The service here is phenomenal. I almost don’t want to write this review, because referring more people means longer wait times for me.
Speaking of wait times, you won’t wait long. I’ve had my aging vehicle in for repairs several times. The service is quick, but on top of that, they do a good job diagnosing your vehicle and they give you options, if there are options. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.

I work out in the suburbs and live in the city and any time I need my car looked at, I take it to Shins. I have an old car that I’m honestly just trying to keep alive until I can afford a better one so I need good & honest opinions when it comes to repairs. Shin’s does just that with the best customer service around.
I’ve had sudden problems come up multiple times on my way into work and I’ve been able to drop it off in the morning and pick it up by the time I head back home that afternoon. They’re honest, friendly, thorough, extremely affordable and fast! I guarantee I’ll be using Shin’s until I’m no longer working in the northshore area. Even then, I still might make the trip.

This place is by far — by far — the best /​most honest /​quickest /​friendliest /​most customer-​friendly auto repair place I’ve been to. Anytime I ever have a car in need of servicing, I will take it here.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my oil changed here b/​c Audi now makes their cars so only a dealership or someone with special equipment can change the oil. Shin would never make a car like this!

My 2007 bmw 335i had engine issues that would have cost an arm and a leg to fix at the dealership. Shin’s auto was able to address the issue and fix my car in a matter of days at a very affordable price. These guys rock

Finding a reliable, honest mechanic that doesn’t jack up parts prices is harder than nailing Jell-​O to a tree.
You’ll find that you have now found 1 of the holy trinity of three that everyone must have in a city (a good lawyer, good doctor and good mechanic) and thus it is a HUGE find. If you live within a 30 mile radius and need any work done on your vehicle, go to Shin’s. They will do an honest day’s work for a honest day’s pay. We had our front brake pads replaced on our SUV that the dealer quoted $ 270 with a coupon, another independent mechanic quoted $ 215 and Shin’s did the entire job AND rotated our tires AND replaced the pads with higher-​quality ceramic brake pads for $ 145 out the door. Daniel showed us the old parts and explained the entire job in detail to us and was extremely fast — -just over an hour which was time for a saunter and a bite at Whole Foods around the corner.
Cannot be beat!

They are not closed. The phone number given is incorrect. The phone number is 847−236−1163. Was there Monday, to check the A/​C on my Jeep. He’s still at the 650 Waukegan Road, Deerfield location, Mobil gas station. He’s one of the best. No B.S. like other mechanics, just honest about what might be causing the problem (s). He’s one of the very few mechanics that I would recommend for people who need to have their car (s) looked at. It took only 20 minutes to find out what was causing the problem in my Jeep.
If the problem is going to take awhile. Just up the block, there is a Barnes & Nobles, Whole Foods?, and some fast food restaurants in the area.

For some reason, this gas station and the Marathon next door always have the best prices for gasoline in this area. You won’t find another gas station for miles that offers gas this low. Across the street is a Shell gas station that is usually .04 cents more. This Mobil also has two pumps which are Full service, which means an attendant will come out and pump your gas for you as well as check your fluids (if you ask) and clean your windshields, etc. For this you pay almost ten cents more per gallon. Additionally they have a full service garage which is open most of the day, though I believe the garage is it’s own entity separate from the gas station.
