Great place took it in for what I was thinking was a transmission problem. They called me told me it was something loose and tightened it up. Did not try and charge me for doing a small job. Did my oil change and tire rotation. Very honest guys not trying to up charge you for no reason.

Zero Stars! DO NOT USE THIS AUTO REPAIR SHOP! They charged me $11,000 to fix an oil leak in 2024. They replaced the oil pan gasket $595. Still leaking. They replaced the valve cover gasket $895. Still leaking. They replaced the oil pump $1495. Still leaking oil. They replaced the entire engine $7295. Oil stopped leaking. I went in for an oil change three months later and the next day I have a new oil leak in my brand new driveway! They got me 21 years ago for the same thing. Came in for an oil change, then left with an oil leak, then each time you return, something else is sabotaged in your car. I came in for new tires in Oct 2024. They forgot to recommend a wheel alignment. I go back for a wheel alignment a week later because the car was pulling to the right and apparently they did nothing. The car is pulling more to the right than it was when I visited them. Thank the Universe that I came here before going back again. Reading all of the terrible reviews. It reminded me that I came here 21 years ago and I wound up in an endless loop of car repairs that had me almost bankrupt back in 2003 when I was only earning $9hr in life. Ocello's is a butcher shop. DO NOT USE THIS MECHANIC. Next website I'm visiting is the Better Business Bureau, then Facebook, then Instagram, then Google Reviews, Apple Maps, and Bing Maps. Then I'll be dropping by every day like I did today to warn every customer there to get their car out of there as soon as possible. I will be back every day until this place is closed down. I cannot believe the depression I was in back in 2003 over the endless cycle of car repairs they had me in. I almost took my own life because of this place. DO NOT USE OCELLO's CAR REPAIR. And I never had any issues with my Honda Accord until I visited Ocello's. I gave them 5 stars so you can see my review and it doesn't get buried at the bottom. Pass this info onto your friends. Only send people you don't like to Ocello's.
Edit Update: Ocellos spent a year trying to find an oil leak, only to wind up buying a new engine. Then after the first oil change with the new engine that Ocellos installed, I left with an oil leak again. When I brought it back they said the oil leak was the oil pan gasket and it would only cost $495 to fix it. I declined. I went to Northbrook and they said it was just the seal on the oil filter and only charged me $29 to fix it.
Also as mentioned above, I went to Ocellos for new tires. The car drove straight as an arrow for the last 5 years. When I left with the new tires the car pulled to the right. They didn't do a wheel alignment. So I paid $185 for a wheel alignment and there was no change. Still pulled to the right. I went to Tire Kingdom and merely asked for a wheel alignment. I didn't mention anything about Ocellos. Tire Kingdom did the wheel alignment, but nothing changed. It still pulled to the right. When I explained it to the tech at Tire Kingdom he showed me the alignment chart and it shows my right rear tire camber to be off by two degrees.
Did Ocellos touch something to cause my camber to get misaligned when they put the new tires on? Who knows. But either way before I visited Ocellos my Honda drove perfectly straight, now it pulls to the right.
If you use Ocellos you use them at your own risk, and your wallet will be leaking month after month.

Had my car towed in at 8 am new years eve day. My vehicle needed a new fuel pump. I expected that the repair would be done on Thursday as Wednesday they were closed for new years day. Much to my surprise, my car was ready by 3 pm that day! Amazing!

If you need an honest and reliable automotive repair shop look no further. I came here an was impressed with the price quote and the repair time. I’ll definitely come back here for all my auto repairs. The repairs done were fairly quick for what needed to be done. Thank you Joe and team for taking care of my repairs. The job was amazing 💚
