Life in Bucktown is about embracing the best of Chicago’s energy. From the boutiques and restaurants along Damen Avenue to the non-stop activity on Milwaukee and North, your vehicle needs to be ready for anything.

Frequently Asked Questions for our Bucktown Customers
How far are you from Bucktown?
We are conveniently located in Old Irving Park, just a few miles northwest of Bucktown. It’s an easy drive up major streets like Western, Damen, or Elston, making us a quick and accessible trip for any service appointment.
I have a newer import/luxury vehicle. Can you service it?
Absolutely. Our technicians are highly experienced with a wide range of makes and models, including European and Asian imports. We have the sophisticated diagnostic tools required to service these vehicles to manufacturer standards, offering a reliable and often more personal alternative to the dealership.
Why are you a better choice than a dealership’s service center?
As an independent, family-owned shop, our focus is on building long-term relationships with our customers. You’ll often speak directly with the technician working on your car, and you’ll receive honest, straightforward advice without the high pressure or overhead costs associated with a large dealership. We are proud to be an active part of Chicago’s local business community, just like the great shops celebrated by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce.
