Highly recommended! Very thorough in their repair estimate after my auto accident. Worked well with my insurance company getting the estimate approved. They always kept me informed of repair progress. Finished product of the repairs was perfect - good as new. Honest people to do business with.as well as proficient in both mechanical and accident repair work. It's not easy to find businesses today that are both honest and experts in their field like Automotive Specialities.

Great place! Iv had body work done here a few times and they always did great work and made it happen fast. They've never gave me the feeling of being taken advantage of or dishonesty, which is a big thing for me. Leslie and the folks here are an asset for sure.

We thought they were a reputable establishment but they don't stand behind their work. They charged us a second inspection fee of $125 a few days after charging us over $500 to replace an AC line. NO customer service - STAY AWAY! UPDATE: After spending no more than 5-10 minutes researching and trying a few VERY SIMPLE things found on MULTIPLE internet forums, the AC works GREAT! This is after Automotive Specialties wanted over $800 and the car for 3 days. I stand by my original review: VERY SHADY!

I can't say enough great things about Automotive Specialties. They are true professionals that handled my insurance claim quickly and with ease! All I had to do was put them in contact with the adjuster and drop off the vehicle. The quality of work is unmatched. If you are anywhere near Yorkville, this is where you should be taking your vehicle for repairs.

I've gone to Automotive Specialties for a few repairs now: wheel hubs, transaxle rod, and now windshield replacement. I've been very happy with the price and the quality of the work. I'll continue to go to them and will recommend them to others. Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance
