Couldn’t say anything better about these folks. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Their customer service, quick turnaround, and reasonable pricing is second to none.

All I had to do was call them, tell them the issue, they towed my car that night and got it all done within 2 days.

I’d recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be back if anything else comes up. Thanks again!

Not a shop I would give repeat business to.

**Just updated the review because their reply to this review claimed they completed the job in 5-7 days, which is simply not true and I have evidence.  Take a look at the 2 images I just uploaded.  I texted the shop the morning I dropped my truck off: November 20.  And there's also a copy of my receipt dated December 5 (when I picked up the truck).  So, 15 days to get a 5 hour job done!  "Family-owned" doesn't automatically mean good family and business values.  There are plenty of families that thrive on manipulation and drama.  I have zero reason to be dishonest here - they simply do not want to honor their warranty.  Not for me.  Stay away.

Their big flaw here is communication:  if they don't communicate the details, then they don't need to be held accountable.  It's just plain manipulative and lacks accountability.  They didn't go over the warranty details at all before they did the work, and they also said the part I brought them was a quality part.

Original review:

Last Chance took 2 weeks to repair a job that takes 5 hours, they reused old bushings and seals causing more leaks on my truck, and they ultimately denied warranty repair after the pinion bearing they replaced began to fail within 6 months.  This job cost me $1600, so it was hard to hear them casually say no.

There was no room for finding a middle ground, either.  They had zero interest in finding a solution together.  They said I had gone over the miles for the warranty, even though it was only 9 months after the repair by the time I brought it into Last Chance again.  I had paperwork proving part failure earlier in the year - I began to hear bearing failure noise around 6 months after repair, but it took me a few months to figure out where the noise was coming from (I replaced tires, did an alignment, changed wheel bearings - did a lot of work hoping it wasn't the same issue).  They literally didn't care about any of that.

Last Chance had zero interest in hearing that the noise had developed within the warranty period.  Bearings take a while to fail, and the noise slowly develops - they should know this as an established mechanical shop.  But they expected me to act a very specific and certain way in order to follow their warranty guidelines.  I'll never understand people who are not really helpful.  And so the overall experience was Last Chance only cared about themselves, and I didn't really feel important as a paying customer.

I ultimately found another shop who got the work done in just 2 days.  It was night and day difference.  The new shop was informative, honest, and understanding.  They were also upfront and honest about their warranty terms and details.  Last Chance experience felt patronizing and lackadaisical.

Shop elsewhere and get perspective before giving your business to Last Chance.  It wouldn't have taken much for them to make this a positive experience, but they seemed very uninterested in even trying.

Last Chance Auto Repair saved the day (again). The brakes were shot, needed new front brakes and calipers for my SUV. Originally brought it somewhere else a few blocks away, and ouch, no way. Then I remembered the great service and prices I got over at Last Chance Auto Repair on my last visit. I'm glad I remembered them. Long story short, they did not disappoint. I will never go anywhere else again.

We had a small emergency when the alternator quit making power as soon as the battery light came on. Luckily I was across the street at Plainfield East High School. Very conveniently they had a tow truck there dropping off another vehicle. After the 1st call, I was towed over in about 20 minutes. Tested it right away and showed me the results. Ordered the alternator and I picked up my CR-V the next morning. All in all, great experience, and fair numbers. Highly recommend this garage.

They did an excellent job on replacing my struts, tie rods, wheel bearings, and alignment. Quick service that included a fair bill. Very responsive and on-point communication. I will definitely refer to family and friends.

This repair shop plays no games. Very informative almost educational and prices that are more than fair can be counted on. Saved me over $2000 on a transmission repair one trip and then on another saved me $600 when getting my brakes replaced. Good all around experience. My family and I are life long customers.

I've been having starting problems for awhile now and then my starter officially took a turn for the worse. Bit the bullet and had no choice but to tow it to Last Chance Auto Repair in Plainfield. In and out with the quickness and as always an unfortunate but fair price tag included.

Brake noises like squeaking, squealing, or grinding can indicate worn brake pads. It’s essential to address these sounds promptly by scheduling a brake inspection to determine the cause and prevent further damage.
