Lifetime Automotive

My review is long overdue. Went in today to have low tire checked. Matthew was very helpful, and friendly. While this experience was for something minor, my family has had multiple cars serviced over the years and have always received great customer service as well as exceptional repair work done! Give them a try, support a family owned business!

This is my go to place. Very detailed and very honest. I bring all my work vans and personal cars here. Very reasonable great old feel mechanic shop. Good guys like the old days. If you need service this is the place to come. Thanks guys.

The best repair shop in the south suburbs. I wouldn’t take my car in the other place. You can even get a quick oil change , filter to replacement And anything else for your car needs. If I could give them a 20 out of 10, I would.

Was on my way to another auto shop that someone told me about but on the way there I saw this place, decided to stop by. I’m glad that I did. They helped me with my car issue and I was very satisfied. It worked out better than I expected. Family oriented, great customer service, team work. Thanks guys, from the lady with the Texas license plates.

I want to start by sharing my journey in Park Forest, where I’ve proudly called home for the past 20 years. Over the years, I’ve relied on Lifetime Auto for several of my vehicle repairs. While their services may come at a slightly higher price, the peace of mind that comes from knowing they stand firmly behind their work is truly invaluable. Having recently retired and embraced the joys of being an empty nester, I now have a little extra cash to indulge myself, and I decided to treat my Hummer H3 to some much-needed attention. In the past, I would have had to navigate the uncertainty of finding a reliable mechanic through word of mouth or by luck—an experience that often left me frustrated and angry.There’s nothing worse than dealing with someone in the service industry who isn't genuine! No more trying to sell me “Johnson Rods”😂 Just a month after I retired, I started working at an auto shop in Gary, Indiana, and what I witnessed there was disheartening—a culture rife with dishonesty. After only a week, I realized I couldn’t continue in that environment. My newfound understanding of how many shops operate left me disillusioned, as I became keenly aware of the deceitful practices that some mechanics employ to mislead customers. Last year, I began taking my Hummer to Lifetime Auto Muffler Shop, and I’ve been nothing short of impressed. As a female who often encounters skepticism in male-dominated spaces, I was relieved to be treated with respect and as someone knowledgeable, rather than someone who could be easily taken advantage of. The quality of work is exceptional—meticulous, clean, and precise. Each time I walk through their doors, I’m warmly greeted, which makes me feel valued and appreciated. Not long ago, I dropped off my truck for repairs, and unbeknownst to the staff, I came armed with an accurate list of issues that a family member from out of state had diagnosed for me. After their thorough inspection, I was reassured to see their findings matched my list exactly. That was the moment I recognized their integrity. Yes, the price may be a bit higher, but why settle for less when you can enjoy the tranquility that comes from knowing a job has been done right? You won’t ever have to call them back to fix something they overlooked. There are a few things I do miss, however, that I can now joke about: 1. Gritting my teeth as🤞🏼The annoying jolt I used to feel as I drove over railroad tracks—thankfully, that's a thing of the past! 2. The unexpected thrill of causing a traffic jam at a red light when my truck would suddenly stall—those moments are behind me now. 3. I can no longer hear the ominous clinks, cracks, and knocks while making sharp turns, and I don’t miss the anxious prayers🙌🏼 that my wheels wouldn’t give out.😝 4. Who would have thought I’d miss that infamous internal exhaust smell that forced me to crack my windows in below zero🥶frigid weather? But seriously, the work you did was magnificent, and for that, I’m truly grateful. Thank you! Lastly, I believe there’s a market for a “Lifetime Auto of the Mechanics” calendar! Believe it or not, it would definitely sell. Respectfully, Traci with the “Fat Footed” Black Hummer H3
