Our Services
Our Auto Repair Services in Irving Park, Chicago

Brake Repair & Replacement
Squeal, grind, soft pedal, wheel shake—we’ve seen all of it. We check pads, rotors, hoses, and fluid, then lay out your options. Most jobs are same day, no drama.

Oil changes & maintenance
Quick and clean—conventional or full synthetic. We follow factory schedules, check the basics, and flag anything worth watching so you’re not surprised later.

Check engine light & diagnostics
We don’t guess. We scan, test, and road-test. If it’s a loose gas cap, you’ll hear that from us. If it’s deeper, you’ll know what it is and what it takes to fix.

Suspension, steering & alignment
Pulling left? Clunks over bumps? Uneven tire wear? We get the car tracking straight so it feels solid again, not floaty or vague.

Battery & electrical
Dead morning starts, flickering lights, random gremlins. We test the whole system and fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Engine & transmission
From small leaks to big decisions. We’ll give you the math and the plan, and we’ll tell you when a targeted repair beats a big rebuild—and when it doesn’t.

Good luck finding a repair and service shop run by honest people who recognize the importance of taking the best care of their customers and their cars. Greg always tells me like it is and fixes my issues without taking advantage of me on pricing. Turn around on every job he has ever done for me has been timely and efficient and that is why I trust no one else with my car. You can't do better than Grace!Posted on Cristian RoaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service!!!! Fair prices !!!! I have brought multiple family vehicles .

Went in due to a car accident to fix our back bumper and they ended up helping us with more which was great! They did a full diagnostic and fixed an issue we had that 4 other mechanics couldn’t figure out. Would go back!Posted on Air StuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They're a dream. Staff is wonderful. Great communication. I had a unique problem with my car that two other places couldn't help with. Grace Automotive solved my problem and my car was ready in less than 24 hours! They don't miss a beat. They're incredibly efficient and a pleasure to work with.Posted on Courtney FunkhouserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Grace on a Saturday morning with a dead battery. We live in the neighborhood so Sorin offered to come to our house and change our battery instead of making us call a tow or get it jumped. Within an hour of realizing we had a dead battery and calling Grace, we had a brand new battery and didn't even have to leave our house. The best service!!
