I just thought that I would share this with some of you since all we usually ever see about auto repair places is negative. I recently bought a used car from a buddy of mine. Really mint. A 1977 Olds Cutlass with 66,000 miles. It seems that about a couple of months ago, his wife put the emergency brake pedal to the floor and the cable or something broke. Anyway when I bought it, he told me about the problem and recommended I take it to a local Olds dealer he had done business with. Upon inspection of the rear wheels, I was told that my brakes were within a few thousand miles of needing to be replaced. Well I found out that this car had had a break job done only 20,000 miles before ...(however, it had been 4 YEARS AGO!!)..., so I decided to call the place and see what they had to say. To my surprise, I was told that they offered no real warranty, but always took good care of their customers. After inspecting the rear wheels, I was told that I was right, and that they would replace the rear shoes...NO CHARGE! The two fellas that I talked to were also the owners and they've been there since 1956. A subsequent investigation has revealed that many of my friends are satisfied customers. I am recommending this place to anyone who needs any kind of automotive work short of body and fender. It's name is J & C (Joe and Chuck) Auto Service at 821 Ogden ave. in Downers Grove, Illinois.
