Frequently Asked Questions for our Uptown Customers
How long does it take to get to your shop from the Uptown area?
From most parts of Uptown, we are a simple and direct drive away, typically taking only 10-15 minutes. Heading west on major streets like Lawrence, Montrose, or Irving Park Road provides an easy route to our shop in Old Irving Park.
My car is making a strange noise. Is it worth bringing it all the way to you?
Absolutely. A strange noise is your car’s way of warning you about a potential problem. Bringing it to a shop with a reputation for accurate diagnostics can save you from paying for unnecessary repairs elsewhere. We will find the true source of the problem, which makes the trip a very smart investment.
Do you provide estimates before starting work?
Yes, always. After our technicians have diagnosed the issue, we will provide you with a clear, detailed estimate and explain the recommended repairs. We will never proceed with any work until you have given your full approval. It’s a core part of our commitment to the honest, transparent service that businesses championed by organizations like Uptown United are known for.
