My daughter and I were enjoying the day, when lo and behold a flat tire got in our way. Carl at G & R saw to our need, quickly fixed the flat and got us back up to speed. He even stayed past closing to help us out, just so we could be back up and about. He was caring, professional, and a great help to us; if your vehicle is in need, he's the one you can trust.

Due to upcoming travel plans, my car needed an oil change, tire rotation, and brake inspection. After a few very disappointing visits to some auto shops, at 1:30pm this afternoon, I decided to go with my friend's referral to work with G & R Auto Repair in Libertyville, IL. I am very happy and impressed with the owner's (Carl Grier) honesty and can-help attitude. They did a great job fulfilling my urgent request and did the job properly. I trust Carl's advice and plan to work with Carl to maintain both of my cars. Carl earned my trust. Bob, Lake Forest, IL.

Grateful to have a trustworthy mechanic to help with my vehicles. Carl has never let me down and has always given me both good guidance and good car repair. I'm sometimes think I should attempt the repair myself, but in the end I have saved money (and a lot of time!) by having Carl on my team. If you know nothing about cars, Carl has shown me time and time again that he is a good honest mechanic and he will not try to take advantage of you. Tell him I said hi!

Like others, been coming to Carl for years and have always been pleased. He took some time this morning to run a diagnostic and asked me some questions in his peel back the onion approach as he will first try and diagnose simpler causes and go from there. You will never be nickel and dimed. Timely, quality service, very fair rates and his honest approach all make for a great local business.
