Cool Flow Automotive

Incredible. It’s like going to your brothers place — if your brother was an automotive genius and loved movies (and if you like your brother)! I have been going to Cool Flow for many years now. Dan and his team always find out what is wrong and are able to make repairs timely. He has never made the wrong call and had me pay for an unnecessary repair like some other places I went before finding him. Dan is honest. If your budget is tight, he will let you know what needs to be done now to keep the car safe to drive and what can be done later.
The office side offers a very friendly family atmosphere waiting area with comfortable sitting and a variety of movies to help pass the time while waiting. A favorite part though is the coffee «bar». Any true coffee drinker will envy the k-​cup choices.
Common sense approach to car repair, very knowledgable and affordable, from oil changes to major repairs, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I went in to see them because my check engine light came on, and they said that I have a bad air sensor and would be $ 250 to replace. Turns out the señor was doing its job because only a few days later, the exhaust pipe separated for the catalytic converter and needed to have it all replaced. So instead I went to Car X and after work was done, my check engine light came off. I glad I trusted my gut feeling and waited on replacing sensor.
Moral of the story? Whenever a repair shop says you have bad sensor, always question whether the sensor truly is bad, or just doing its job to by picking up another more significant problem with the engine. And, never ask an auto parts store where to go to get car fixed because they are in cohoots with which ever repair shop they recommend.

Cool Flow has been great to our family and our 3 cars for years! My son brought his car to a chain oil change location when he was out of town. They told him that we needed $ 1,500 worth of work on our 2005 Accord, when we brought it to Dan, he told us the car didn’t need that work. Cool Flow is always honest and want you to make sure you come back. Waiting area has Wi-​fi, coffee and movies always going on the tv to keep you entertained. Everyone needs a mechanic you can trust, Dan is that guy.

Absolutely amazing customer service. Brought in my Honda CRV for an air-​conditioning problem and they went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out in a tough time. They have my families business for life!!! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you so very much! Its good to know there are still honest family owned businesses out there looking out for the consumer!

Excellent service, quick, and trustworthy. My body shop referred me to Cool Flow as they go to them also. He provided a free estimate on my brakes and told me I didn’t need to replace my calipers as the other shop (Acorn Tire) had told me – a savings of $ 500+. I will definitely go there for any work I need on my car.

This place is freaking awesome! Truly family owned and comfortable. Every time the owner walks in his wife says «Honey?» then proceeds to ask about some type of rsvp event (not that I was eves dropping) she is working on behind the counter. I feel like I’m sitting in a friend’s living room. I wish all places were like this! One of the most amazing automotive shop experiences I’ve ever had and possibly the best experiences as a consumer ever. No lie.
The other thing is I don’t think the guy is rude as stated in another review I think he is just a to the point kind of guy. So sit back in the awesome leather recliners in front of the 50″ and chill bro. Lol

It is hard for me to add what Lindsay R. has said about Cool Flow. I’ve been going there for several years now and have been completely satisfied not only with the work they do, but the way they treat their customers, with honesty and respect. They are available for emergencies and will freely offer sound advice. You can’t go wrong with Cool Flow for your auto repair needs.

I went out to my car and had a flat tire. I called AAA and a tow truck driver came and put my spare tire on and told me that I should go to Cool Flow automotive to have them fix my tire. I told him that I usually go to Good Year and that’s who I trusted. He said «Absolutely not — you need to start going to Cool Flow Automotive, they are a father and son team, and the neighborhood garage for Naperville.
I thought I would give them a try. Dan fixed the hole in my tire for free. I came back a few weeks later for brakes and I told him I used to go to Good Year… And asked him how much he would charge for a radiator for my car. He told me, $ 425 I was shocked! I just sold my gold to pay $ 788.98 for a new radiator at Good Year. They totally ripped me off… I had no idea how much a radiator should cost and just trusted them. I never went back and have been coming to Cool Flow for three years now!
Dan and his son Brett are honest and are more about the customer than the money they can make off of your car troubles!
Thank you to the tow truck driver that sent me here — he was right! Cool Flow is the place to go!

Cool Flow is the best auto service we have ever had. Dan and his son are honest as the day is long. They do great work and at a reasonable price. I’m so sad that we just moved out of the area and have to find new car guys.
As far as the negative review I see on here, I simply cannot believe it. Completely out of character from the Dan I know. He has always been very kind to me, to all my friends who have gone there, and to my parents who have gone there.
Do yourself a favor and take your car to Cool Flow.

Whatever you do… if you are close to this guy… on second thought, even if you are not close, please do yourself a favor and go here for your car service. I have gone several times for brakes and tires and other smaller services.
Each time, Dan has been honest and 100% of the time has saved me money by not performing a repair other service centers gave said I needed. this has happened with brakes 2 times Other shops said I need a 4 wheels and turn out I still had 50% remaining on my rear wheels for brakes.
Please. Call Dan. Trustworthy, honest and even the services that ARE needed are very affordable. These guys rock!
