About American & Foreign Car Services
American & Foreign Car Services is an auto repair shop in Chicago, Illinois. It is listed at 3866 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60618, which places it among the local businesses of Chicago that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

John the owner is very competent, knowledgeable and will do all he can to accomodate your every need. As is his staff. It's a neighbour business which I have supported for twenty five years and will continue to do so.

Located on Elston Ave. 2 blocks south of Irving Park Rd. This shop specializes in foreign cars & does quality mechanical repairs and they stand behind their work. They do the same for American Cars too. Though they're not always the cheapest, you know your repairs will be done correctly. which in my opinion is worth a slightly higher price. Tell them I sent you.

I've been going to American & Foreign for almost 20 years! John and all of the guys in the shop are the nicest, most honest guys you'll find to repair your car. I have a restored 1986 Jeep CJ7, and they are the only ones I trust to work on it! I used to bring my old Volvo 740 to 'em, they always kept it running and safe. And would advise me when it's worth it to spend the money to fix something, and when it's not. So glad I have these guys to turn to when I need mechanical advice I can trust!
