Nofsinger’s Auto Repair

If anyone is looking for a good home for your auto repair needs I cannot speak more highly of Nofsinger Auto Repair and their entire team and I more than encourage you to give them a call. They have done both regular maintenance work that I had set up an appointment for but also recently had to have my car towed there as it died on the road (as I trust no one else).
After looking over the car, they were quick to assess the problem and provide an estimate which was more than reasonable. I also asked them to do some additional work on my car that I knew was needed and they always kept in steady contact with me about their progress and how things were looking. Since it was an emergency when the car was brought in, I was impressed at how quickly they responded to me (as they are always very busy) and how great they communicate with the customer. I never felt like I was in the dark about anything, ever.
I just got the car back and it is running great (and looks tons better too, thank you Nofsingers!). I am more than pleased at the amount of time and effort that was put into my baby as it looks and runs like brand new (and it’s a 2003) and was a bargain for all the great work put into it.
Thank you again Nofsingers (Mike and Mark and everyone else that works there) and sincere and heartfelt thanks again! :)

These guys are incredible. Have diagnosed problems without a charge or mention of any kind of charge or shop fee, etc. They spend the time on the vehicle to get it right and make sure you don’t spend money on unnecessary repairs. Very honest at the front desk AND the mechanic who works on your car personally calls you to tell you what is going on. Reasonable labor and part rates, quick turnaround. We’ve had our van serviced here now and for being a 2006 and having 135K+ miles on it, it drives like brand new again. Love this place, a true model for honest service and pricing, and high end customer service, no matter what car you drive. Thanks again!

Looking for an auto repair shop that you can trust!!! This place is the Best and professionals! Not just how they fix your vehicle, it’s the way they treat you as a customer with RESPECT! and for me that’s always #1! They keep you
updated with your vehicle and got done way fast! Thanks Nofsinger auto! Great Team u have there!!! Keep it up!

This is the only place I bring my car for routine maintenance. Everyone is friendly, their prices are reasonable, and most importantly, I trust them.

Called up shop as, for at least 2 weeks, I have been hearing a noise on my front passenger side that got louder as I went faster. Was dreading taking 2001 Honda Accord in as I was expecting something big and expensive that needed to be done. After 2 weeks of worrying, I called up the shop today and received a call back from the mechanic, Dave — the guy who always works on my car. He has replaced ball joint and wheel bearings, as well as replaced corroded brakes lines previously. Dave said there were no bays available (Nofsinger is always busy/​filled with cars that need to be fixed — which, of course, is a good sign) but to bring in the car so he could take it for a drive to include listening for sound I reported. After taking car for q quick test drive with me, much to my relief, he guessed it was a small problem that he could quickly fix. He asked if I could wait a few minutes — during which he took down one car up in the air and quickly put my car up — removed some rust that was on the piece that shields dirt from the brakes and bent this piece so the brake area was no longer comprised — fixing the problem/​alleviating the noise. This took just a few minutes and was done without charge. He could have told me that something else was wrong with the car instead of being honest as other shops might and have done to me and others. This is just one of the reasons I take my car to Nofsinger and that I always ask for Dave!

I can’t say enough about this place. Nofsinger’s was recommended to me and my family many years ago and we continue to give them our business on the regular. Just recently the battery light popped up on my car. My dad was kind enough to bring it in for me and they turned it around on the same day (needed a new alternator). They’re reasonably priced and don’t feel like we’re ever being taken advantage of. And when you drop of your vehicle, they’re kind enough to offer you a ride back to your place. Great customer service!

These guys are great. Our van had a huge amount of ice sludge packed under the wheel well covers. It was coming down and rubbing on the wheels. We were leaving for a long trip. The guys rolled it in immediately and went all out getting all the ice out and reattaching the covers to get us on the road. I offered cash, and they refused. Super, super nice. Will be the first place I bring my car to the next time it needs work.

I really love this shop (and I’ve been here a few times now). Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I know ZERO about cars and truly feel I do not get taken advantage of here. They will give you honest feedback as to what’s wrong with your car or what needs to be done EVEN IF that is nothing!!! Their customer service is incredible and their work is superior. You will leave this place happy and confident you went to the right place. Thanks so much you guys!!!

Great place. Professional, honest, friendly!

We only recently started taking our cars to Nofsinger’s, but I knew after the very first visit that we found our new auto repair shop. I cannot say enough positive things about them – from the high-​quality and quick work, to the friendly, honest and knowledgeable staff (thanks Dave!), Nofsinger’s is the best!

3 things I look for with a car mechanic: 1. Trustworthy, 2. Reasonable prices 3. Good work. Nofsinger’s is that rare business that meets those 3 criteria by far! This is the type of business I would not hesitate to send my parents or anyone else who doesn’t know much about cars because they would not get taken advantage of here.
I’ve gotten work done on our 2 cars here and they did a great job. Once, my car door handle broke and I couldn’t open my drivers door. It seemed like a part had broken inside the door, and I was dreading how much that part might cost. I dropped my car off, and later that day I get a call stating my door was fixed. They stated they kept wiggling the key back and forth and whatever was malfunctioning started working again (yes I had tried that repeatedly myself). I left that day without paying anything! Even if they had lied and said they opened the door panel and popped some loose piece back and charged me $ 100, I would have left happy. But Nofsinger’s is TRUSTWORTHY and HONEST.
While they don’t have a waiting area for customers, they will happily drive you a few miles home. Even if you don’t live near this business, I would still recommend bringing your car here and asking them to drop you off at a nearby coffee shop or library while you wait.

I’m telling you that these guys know their stuff and really treat you like a customer. Not someone who is bothering them. For an oil change (around $ 30) they also clean /​vacuum your car. Well worth the time it takes them to do it. I won’t go anywhere else for our car repairs.

I had an issue on my long-​distance drive up to Chicago for the thanksgiving holiday, the guys at Nofsinger’s were able to fit me in on short notice and quickly diagnose the problem. They were extremely helpful and I was able to get the problem with my vehicle solved. Thankfully, I had an uneventful trip back home, thanks to the guy’s at Nofsinger’s.

If you are looking for an honest mechanic, Nofsinger’s is the place to go. They will give you their honest opinion to the best of their knowledge of what’s wrong with your car and do an amazing job fixing it. You will leave happy and not wonder if you where ripped off.
The staff is awesome and great to work with. They a good listener and is all about making sure your are happy before you leave. We’ve been using them since Saturn closed their doors. Both my husband and I have been more than pleased. We even like better than our awesome guys that where at Saturn only because of pricing. So, we are very happy to have found them.
Women — If you are one to worry about being ripped off, this is a place to trust and not have that worry. They are open and honest.

First I brought my car to Toyota of Elmhurst for an oil change and to have them look at my brakes since I was hearing squeaking. The dealer told me my brakes were fine but I needed tires. I went to NTB to get four tires over the weekend and the mechanic shows me my break pads and told me I needed break pads, rotors and calipers. I decided to take my car to Nofsinger and I am so glad that I did. Mike was absolutely wonderful from the moment I walked in and saved me $ 400! Go figure… I didn’t end up needing the calipers that NTB told me I needed. I am so happy I have a mechanic that I trust and would recommend them to anyone and everyone! They are quick, reasonable, offer you a ride and clean the interior and exterior of the car! Thank you guys for being awesome!!!

Best customer service I have ever had. They will explain everything and answer any questions prior to doing any work.
Very friendly and honest people every time I have brought my car in. I have highly recommended to friends and family and they all say the same!

First of all, it’s a huge stress relief to have a mechanic you can trust. If there’s a place my family can have their cars serviced and NEVER worry about anything in regards to our vehicles (from fair pricing to quality work and stellar customer service), it’s to bring that car to Nofsinger’s. NO ONE does the job as well. NO ONE. Not the dealership, not the shop that claims your neighbors love them, not the place that toots their own horn and simply doesn’t deliver. Nofsinger’s is helpful and humble from the second you make that call, until you pay the bill for an auto that’s running spectacularly better since you brought it in to Mark and his team. I never go anywhere else and never have to.
It’s also a testament to Nofsinger’s quality, when my family brings our car to Cassidy for tires and Glenbard Auto Body for body work, and we’re commended for taking good care of our car and that Nofsinger’s quality is substantiated. I’m willing to bet there isn’t a mechanics shop anywhere in this country that offers as good quality work as Nofsinger’s!

I stopped by Nofsinger’s since I had seen such great reviews on here. My 2008 Ford Escape XLT had been making a really strange noise in the rear tires at slow speeds and lots of vibration at higher speeds. They took time to check out my issue right away, one of their mechanics (Mike) drove the car with me, and he diagnosed the issue within 5 or 10 minutes. The TPMS wheel sensor had broken loose inside of the tire, which explained the strange noise while driving slowly and since it weighs a few ounces, that was enough to throw off the tire’s balance causing the vibration.
Mike popped the tire off the rim, removed the sensor, cleaned the tire up inside and resealed the tire bead all within 30 minutes. No more vibration, no weird noises, nothing. Awesome! Extremely professional service from top to bottom. Will be coming here for all my vehicle service from now on.

It’s been over 2 years since my original review, and I feel that’s too long to go without shouting the praises of the best business in Lombard, in Illinois, and most likely, THE WORLD.
I love that they actually READ and respond to the reviews here. I love that all I have to do is call and if Mark answers, I mention the word Girlspawn and he immediately knows who I am. I love that they fix the problem quickly. I love that they’re pleasant on the phone instead of gruff and hurried. I love them so much that I (almost) love handing over that credit card when it’s time to pay the bill.
Bottom line — the wondrous magic of this business is something that has become harder and harder to find these days: honest work at a fair price. That’s it folks, and they get it right, every single time.
While they’ve mostly serviced Girlspawn’s car, they had fixed the mister’s beloved car before it was cruelly taken from us in an accident that totaled it. I don’t want to curse myself here, but my car’s warranty just ran out, and the mister’s replacement car will need something eventually. It’s good to know that I’ve got the bases covered should the need ever arise.
It’s easy to impress me once. It’s hard to KEEP me impressed.
Seriously. Mark and Carol, thank you. Dave and all the rest, thank you as well. Keep doing what you’re doing in a world that does it less and less.

I gotta give Nofsinger’s some much-​deserved credit.
Here’s the scenario: husband’s car is 8 years old. It’s approaching 100k miles. Check engine light comes on. Local auto-​supply store pulls the code, and it’s something related to the exhaust system — could be an O2 sensor ($$), a leaky pipe ($$$) or a bad catalytic converter ($$$$).
Since he’d been told the front pipe was starting to rust previously, he called a few places to see what they might price that at. He was worried that even diagnosing the exact problem might prove pricy.
Nofsinger’s prefers not to give estimates over the phone, which I can totally understand. They went on to tell him two things: a) they’d diagnose the exact problem for free and give an estimate then; b) given the exact code, he really didn’t need to worry about it right now, unless he had an emissions test coming up. (He doesn’t.)
So basically they told him NOT to come in and spend lots of money. Which seems incredibly rare for an auto repair shop. Gotta respect that.
