    I normally go to the Car-X in Peoria, IL on University when I visit my hometown. However, I live in Chicago and had issues with my breaks. So, I towed it to the one in Skokie on 11/22 since I live in Rogers Park. It was an extremely busy Saturday before Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful they could fix my issues as I was a walk-in. Turns out, squirrels or rats ate through my wiring, an issue for street parking in my area. They rewired my missing wires and gave me a tip about putting a moth ball container under the hood to try keeping critters away in the future. Thanks for fixing the issue, allowing me to get home to my mom. My mom has a very important dialysis discussion after Thanksgiving and I need to be in attendance.

    One of the best auto service institutions I’ve ever been to. They were thorough, quick, honest. Huge shout out to the manager that helped my family beyond expectations. Truly appreciated from the Edwards family.

    I have bought tires and had brakes replaced at Car-X in the past two years. Friendly service at great prices. I would trust Skokie Car-X location with any automotive problem -- I would not want to take my car anywhere else.

    ​I have been a customer here for an amazing eight years, and Mike and his entire team consistently do an amazing job. Their service goes far beyond standard repairs; it is built on trust, transparency, and genuine care. ​The communication is outstanding. Not only do they clearly communicate any car issues, but they also maintain absolute transparency, often offering to bring you in to visually see the problem for yourself. They even proactively send you pictures of any future upkeep that may be needed on your car, helping you plan ahead. ​Yesterday, they proved once again why I am a lifelong customer. Even though they were extremely busy, Mike personally came out to apologize for the delay. He took the time to explain the exact issue they found, confirmed they were waiting on a part, and gave me a precise timeline for the repair. They don't just fix cars; they make you feel incredibly valued, like a part of their family. ​I highly recommend Mike and his team to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and truly personable service.

    I heard something rattling under the hood and went to see Mike at Carx on Dempster.He explained to me that I just needed a clamp or 2 to secure the problem.Although he was very busy he took the time to take care of my situation.I highly recommend going to Carx on Dempster for any automotive problems and will tell all my friends.
