Reviews Stars Rating | Northtown Auto Service and Tire Center

"This was my first time getting my car serviced in McHenry, and I felt good about working with Northtown. I thought they had good communication and did a good job of keeping me up to date on their progress with my car. I also liked that they let me know about a few other things they recommended I should get serviced on the car but we're not pushy at all about getting them done now. Definitely plan to go back!"

"Supporting “small local businesses” is a HIGH priority for our family!  I have learned about Northtown through my work experience in using their Mobility Department for my companies vehicles.  I am thoroughly impressed with their service, values and professionalism!  I will soon be bringing our personal vehicles for service!  Firestone has been good to us but I am extremely impressed with Northtown!"

  • What types of vehicles do you work on?

    We service all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and mobility vehicles. Our technicians are trained to handle a wide range of makes and models with the highest level of care.

  • Do you perform 36-point digital inspection?

    Yes! Learn about our comprehensive 49-point  digital inspection service. This service is highly recommended before purchasing any used vehicle. Once you have obtained a clear inspection report or a detailed listing of needed service, it can become a helpful negotiation tool to use before your vehicle purchase.

  • Do you repair tires?

    We perform tire repairs from the inside out, utilizing a patch and plug system for a guaranteed result. Our tire repairs offer complimentary balancing and a lifetime warranty. Your tire repair will be completed in approximately 60 minutes and you are welcome to wait in our very comfortable waiting lounge.

  • My vehicle failed the emission test, can you help?

    Yes, we are an EPA-recognized repair facility with an A rating with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. We will work with you to ensure that your vehicle passes its emission testing.

  • If my Check Engine light comes on while I am driving, do I need to come in immediately?

    This is not a reason to panic. It means that your engine computer has detected a problem before you did. When the light comes on, bring in your car for service so it can be properly diagnosed. Yes, in most cases it can still be driven. Northtown Auto Service & Tire Center has properly trained technicians with the right diagnostic equipment to help determine the trouble and take care of your vehicle.

  • When I pulled out of the garage there was fluid on the floor. Should I still drive the car?

    If you see a fluid leak, you should give us a call so we can advise you whether the vehicle needs to be checked or not. It is useful to know the type of fluid that you are seeing. If the fluid is dark brown or black, it is most likely engine oil. Fluid that is green or orange could indicate a cooling system leak or overheating problem. A red oily spot means you probably have a transmission or power steering fluid leak. A puddle of water is usually normal and is simply condensation from the air conditioning system or the defroster.
