Who Keeps Your Engine Purring?

Thanks for participating in Patch's Readers' Choice! Our nomination period is now over. Check back July 23, when live voting for your favorites begins!

-------------------

No one likes bringing his or her car into the shop. That's why having a trusted mechanic is a good thing. 

With the weather warming up, now is a perfect time to get your car tuned up and make sure it's running well for the Chicago area's next season.

Construction season, that is.

Where do you go for auto maintenance and repairs? Who do you trust to fix your car or do body work without overcharging you?

At  Patch, we want readers to tell us what auto repair shop is their favorite. Nominate it in the comments section.

Nominate your choice in the comments section below. Here are a few suggestions; however, they STILL MUST BE NOMINATED to be included in the poll! As auto repair shops are presented in the comments, they'll be added to the list and bolded.

We'll accept nominations through July 9. 

While you're at it, give a shout-out to your favorite mechanic in our Patch business directory. Think of your recommendation as a public service, telling residents the best places to go in .
