Review from MJ d.

Thanks for the great reviews, Yelpers! I probably would not have brought my car over here. After 15 years, my (dad's) 1996 993 needed a handbrake adjustment. The place was a little hard to find with the construction in the way. Tom, Jonathan, and the staff are great. They were professional, to the point, and made me feel at ease and valued as a customer (see my review about Loeber Motors). They explained exactly what they were going to do and didn't try to hustle me.
They may not be the fastest repair turnaround, but the handbrake is finally working, and I may have set a record by paying only $65 for the job. It's very hard to be mad about time, especially if they get the job done right the first time...unlike Loeber Motors, where climate control panels mysteriously disappear. Yeah, that happened today.
Bottom line: if your car needs service, bring it here. Tom and his team will take good care of it...unlike Loeber Motors. -

Hands down the best auto repair shop in the city! Took my Audi A6 for repairs and got it back running beautifully, the shop manager Jonathan was great. He always called to let me know how things were going with the repair or if anything else needed to be done. This my new shop for my auto repairs, I highly recommend Midwest Performance Cars for your auto repair needs!

This is my new shop.
Pricey estimates at Perillo had me looking around at other options. Thanks to Chicago yelpers I found MPC right in the neighborhood. The Black Mamba, that would be my '96BMW 328i, is still chugging along like a champ. I've been bringing it to this garage and Jonathan and his team do great work. He explains everything very clearly for me and shoots me straight about what must be addressed and what to keep an eye on. I've recently been here for some brake and exhaust issues. The car, not me. Again great service and contact about my ride. I've been able to get in the shop quickly and have my car back by the day's end. Kind of tricky to get to with the Lake st construction. just take Randolph west and hang a right on Ogden, then right on Lake and there you are.
What, you thought Kobe was the only black mamba?Listed in: The West Is The Best

I went here because I had a Groupon and needed an oil change. Scheduling an appt was fine, but getting there was a bit difficult because of the construction on Lake.
I figured everything was fine when I left, but house later, my warning light came on that my tire pressure monitoring system had come on. Since this has never happened before, I can only assume that they did something when the oil was change. Since I don't drive that much, I really just ignored it and kept an eye on my tires.
I only got more aggravated when only 3 months later, my "oil change needed" light came on. Since I rarely drive, there was no way that I needed a change. They had forgotten to note the change in the car's computer!
Now I was REALLY annoyed that I had to schlep all the way back to the shop on a day off. While they took care of it, I'll stick to the local CarX for further oil changes. -

2 years later and this shop lies still showing up. I recently was checking some stuff out and the parts they used are febi. I was very to the point with them when serviced. Lemforder only, well they put febi and charged me for full price Lemforder. As for the owner comment I contacted him twice about making good on his offer. As you can guess he never attempted to return my call or email. Never take this shop word on anything it will haunt you as it has for me. Check your parts branding on items you purchase here. If you decide to get your car serviced here. They do not show branding on invoice just part name allowing them to prey on trusting customer. Two years later and I'm still regretting coming anywhere near this place. As well as a owner who pretends to make good in the public eye but fails to make good on anything he said. Not much I can do now but warn others of headaches that will last you years to come if you drive up to this place.

Note to Dane Cook fans: You do not have to worry about receiving the "tiny unicorn in your exhaust" runaround from the amazing team of professionals at this establishment.
I have been looking for a reputable place, preferably a small business over a dealership, to have my car regularly serviced for quite some time. I've had bad experiences in the past since Volkswagens can be quirky to service at times, but I am overwhelmingly delighted with the service I received from Midwest Performance Cars.
The service I received from Tom, the owner, and his team of specialists, was second to none. While the service I needed this time around was pretty mundane (new tires, oil change, new rear brakes), everything was done promptly, correctly, and exactly as promised for a very reasonable rate. I was also able to ask questions about repairs I will likely need down the road without feeling pressured to have additional work performed that wasn't immediately necessary.
Moreover, not only did I feel my car received its due attention, I also felt equally cared for as a customer, which certainly not something I've experienced in the past when it comes to maintaining my vehicle. This team takes pride in their work, their shop, and the opportunity to provide good service to everyone who walks through the door, and it shows in all they do.
While the shop specializes in servicing some pretty badass fancy cars, they treated my comparatively simple VW Golf with as much attention to detail and importance as any other car in the shop, which I greatly appreciated.
This was easily the least anxiety-producing car repair experience I have ever dealt with and I will definitely be taking my car to this shop from now on! -

As I am the designated Yelper for the household, I am writing this on behalf of my husband. He is dictating to me (he chuckled when I said that, BTW):
I brought my '02 911 here at the beginning of track season for a brake flush and pre-track inspection. First impressions: one look at the place and you know they really love Porsches. This being my first Porsche and my first track season, I had a bit of trepidation going in. However, once the job was complete and I talked to Tom, I could tell that they really knew their stuff--Tom even gave me some useful track advice. I'll gladly bring my car to them for service in the future. -

Im here in Chicago visiting while I move to Fort Lewis, Washington. I needed a shop to go to have my BMW X5 serviced and checked out before I made the long trip. Since Chicago has everything I researched many shops to include Perrilio. I finally chose Midwestern Performance for it's reviews and recommendations from friends that live here.
I called the the shop to make the appointment and told them what I wanted. They were very professional and courteous and valued me as a customer. When I arrived for the appointment I walked in the front and saw many high end cars and thought this is going to be very expensive. Jonathan the service manager was really nice and welcomed me into the shop. Well spoken and new what he was talking about. They took a look at my vehicle and then actually walked me to the car and explained all the things that needed to be fixed. I was really surprised at the detail, knowledge, and honesty this shop had. They were not pushy nor tried to feed me some BS when they explained what needs to be fixed and what can be fixed in the future. Very impressesd...
As I did the estimate with Jonathan I was dreading the final outcome of the price. To my excitement I paid far less than what I expected and the price met my budget.
It don't look like much when you arrive due to the construction and location but you will get good service. As a active duty service member for 12 years in the US Army I never had better service at a shop. I will recommend this shop to other service members if they ever come here to Chicago. -

I have been taking my Audi to Midwest Performance Cars for everything from an oil change to replacing breaks to my check engine lights over the last few years. I have continually been impressed with Tom & Lee with their customer service and beating the dealership repair prices by at least 10% every time.
I know that they work on much larger repair jobs for other cars, but they never have a problem helping me out with even the smallest of things. It's great to know I have a reliable place to bring my car and I don't have to worry about them recommending work that I don't really need. -

What a rare pleasure to say something great about an auto repair shop.
I took my BMW here for brake work a couple of months ago, believing that the system didn't need as much work as the dealer insisted on doing (to say nothing of the obscene prices for both parts and labor on that work).
Tom at Midwest Performance (I hope I remember his name right) was honest and responsive. The service crew was fast and thorough, and seems to be a bunch of enthusiasts who really like what they do. But then, who wouldn't love spending ones time tuning Porsches, Ferraris and such?
The labor rate is fair, certainly less than my local "stealer" (Perillo) and I paid only for what needed to be done. This turned out to be pretty close to what I believed based on what I knew of the condition of my own brakes.
Same for the parts. Plus I was able to talk with the staff about non-BMW brands that I wanted to try for performance and lower dust output. They gave me an honest appraisal of the pros/cons of each brand and I've been very happy with my choice.
One never wants to go in for car service but if/when I do, I'll be back. -

I dread taking my car in for an oil change. I've become accustomed to the attempted screwing that usually takes place.
You know the kind, you take a seat in the lounge only to have the mechanic come in about 20 minutes later with a laundry list of things that are "horribly wrong" with your car with 30k miles on it. I find that the screwing is generally amplified when you have a discount. It's gotten so bad that I've actually started arming myself with the work order from my last service for reference. True story.
So this morning, I packed up my Groupon (I swear, if Groupon needs a poster child, I'm their gal!) and my last service order and headed out for my 10:30am appointment.
This time, my oil change experience was different. As soon as I arrived, my car was whisked away for service. Everyone I encountered was friendly and cool. They actually seemed to enjoy what they do, something I've never seen in an auto shop.
I took a seat in the lounge and made a phone call. 30 minutes later, I was shocked when Tony came to get me and said I was all set. No laundry list, no screwing. I was so pleasantly surprised. It was the easiest and most pleasant oil change I've ever had.
Granted, I only had an oil change, but I never got one hint of attitude or condescension from anyone, even on the phone to schedule my appointment. Everyone was just really cool. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a go next time I need service.Listed in: Surprises!

And back I went. My wife came with a '03 Jeep Liberty whose preventative maintenance history was questionable at best outside a few scattered oil changes--was, that is, until I assumed responsibility for the thing once we were married. At the 60,000mi mark, I had all the fluids changed--diff, trans, transfer case, engine oil, etc.--and new spark plugs and brake pads installed. Final bill was fair. I probably could have the work done a little cheaper elsewhere, but I know these guys won't cut corners, and I appreciate them using the good synthetics that are hard to get other shops to use.
Speaking of, you will pay a small premium for high end synthetic oils and fluids by default (Elf / Lubro Moly / RedLine) unless you specifically ask for the cheap stuff. That said, if you do opt out, their fees will probably be the same as other places. Now if I could only get them to convert this Jeep into an M5...1 Previous Review: Show all »

I have a '89 Carrera Targa 3.2 with a custom supercharger (355 hp/344 lbs of torque). At 4,000 RPM, I would lose power. I had left the car with several mechanics, one who I've had for over 15 years. To no avail, none of them could figure out the problem. That's until I took the car to Midwest Performance where Charles and Paul worked on the car. It was tough figuring out the problem. They called other places who had worked on superchargers on air cooled cars. They also made a call to the maker of the fuel regulator to get more information about making adjustments. After sometime they finally got the car running at full power. Charles was obsessed about getting it perfect, even to the point, he wants to investigate in getting a different fuel regular and larger fuel injectors over the winter. We can extract more power from this engine, he stated as I was leaving. Charles tenacity and determination was great to see some one who takes what he does seriously. I will continue to take my Porsche to Midwest Performance.

Was looking for a mechanic that specializes in Volkswagon parts and that is centrally located to downtown. Found Midwest Performance Cars in West Loop.
Brought my car in for check engine light on Friday afternoon at 2 PM. Lee called me back at 2:45 PM that same day with the car diagnosis. Now, I know a tiny bit about car mechanics and as an intelligent woman, I appreciate a respectful explanation of relevant repairs. This is exactly what I got from Lee at Midwest. He told me that the repair could wait, the car was drivable etc. Thank you. I went ahead with the minor repair anyway and some other routine maintenance.
Lee called me the next morning, Sat and told me I could pick my car up at 12 PM. When I picked up my car they had given me one of the car parts at no cost (an approx $150 value). Maybe I'm a sucker and it was too good to be true (here I was thinking that I was special) but as it turns out, I went back to read some Yelp reviews and apparently Midwest does this sort of thing all the time for it's customers. Little freebies here and there for the sake of customer appreciation? Fine by me. Thanks Lee and Midwest. I'll be calling you if there's a next time. Quality, fair & honest, fast, respectful, friendly service. A rarity in this industry.
FYI--if you need to wait for your car repair or oil change, there's a nice lounge right next door, Bottom Lounge. Full food and drink menu. -

I followed Emil here when he came, in addition to hearing good things from my neighbor with a similar vintage Porsche.
Overall, they do good work and are very friendly. I've had everything from a minor glitch to an engine rebuild. No, they aren't cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
The only reason I knocked them to 4 stars (sorry, no 4.5 option!) was because they can tend to be a bit slow. Recent work on my Cayenne took a lot longer than anticipated. Do I mind? Not really, but some might. -

This place is a hidden gem for the import or performance car owner. I met Tom Simmons when I was looking at particular Porsches to buy and he spent a good deal of time with me just giving me advice, I didn't even have my car yet. When I did buy my 930, I took it straightaway to MPC where they thoroughly went over it and did both routine maintenance and some needed work. They replaced a steering shaft bushing that I was fearing would cost several hundred bucks, but MPC did it for $125 all-in. I have had a blower motor replaced at about 1/3 the cost of a dealership. This is the kind of shop where I feel completely comfortable leaving the car in their hands twice a year, when I pull it out for the summer and when I put it away for winter, and having them call me if they find anything that it needs. They have had plenty of opportunity to stick me with unneeded work, but they never have. I trust them.

Bruce is great! I took my car in to have the tail light replaced. He not only took care of the tail light, but the left blinker and the depleated tires as well. No waiting, no worries. I would definitely recommend Bruce and his team. Plus they have a beautiful selection of Porsches to admire if you have the time. :)

Based on the previous info here I decedied to give MWPC a try after being in the exact situation the previous reviwer had.
Having purchased my Certified Pre Owned BMW from Perillo's I had been enjoying free, albeit crappy, service from their insane service dept.
Still, it was factory and it was free. Fast forward to just out of the extended warranty period. The air bag light pops on. I look at the steering wheel and go "oh my airbag what is wrong with you?" then I started looking around and realized that my car has no short of 6 airbags.... Probably should get this one figured out... Take it to the dealer. I get a qoute of $4700 the fix a wide array of issues. I'm told my engine is leaking oil and misfiring, brakes need to be replaced and that my air bag computer is bad. Considering this is 25% of the purchase price I was a bit curious about it. That and the car had been driving great, had not been seeing any oil under, etc, etc. I had Perillo deal with the Air Bag issue and took the car over to Lee at MWPC. He took the car from me and called me the next day to say this:
Your car reported a single misfire event, which is probably due to hitting a big bump ad unseating the coil for the cylinder for a breif moment. Save $650. Engine Manifold is leaking so little oil that its really not a issue. Save: $750 We did brakes and found out there was a wheel bearing issue. Total cost with better than OEM parts, great attitude and easy come easy go timing: $1600. Amazing! -

Bar none the most honest and competent car repair in the city. I tell them the problem, leave my Benz, and come back to pay the bill. Easy. The prices are reasonable and half the cost of a dealer. The work is excellent as I have never had to go back for something once they fix it. The manager, Lee, listens well and gets things done right. The mechanics, especially Emil, are more than competent; they are artists with a foreign car. A dealer wanted $2,000 for a repair that MPC fixed for $200. Yes, I said $200. They saw the problem was a simple fix and I did not charge me for what I did not need. That kind of honesty lets me relax. I know when they say a repair is essential I have no worry that it is true. A Benz is expensive to maintain, but it is less of a hassle and way cheaper having the work done here. They also fix all four of my motorcycles with absolute precision.

Professional, knowledgeable, fast, friendly, and fair prices...what else do you need from a mechanic?
I recently bought a 2000 Porsche 911. A friend suggested that I take it over to Tom at MPC to check it out before I buy. Tom's mechanics poured over the car for three hours! They told me everything I needed to know about the car. It seemed to me that these guys don't leave a stone unturned.
Later I had my oil changed by them...fast, professional, and friendly.
MPC have won me over and will be my Porsche mechanic. -
Review from Clint C.

First off - I will try to be as constructive as possible. Let me also say that I am very knowledgeable about cars - especially mine. I used to do all of my own work until I moved to Chicago and no longer have a garage. Also, a couple of the reviews stated how MPC saved them significant money over the dealer. This is no surprise, but the prices they paid were still too high given the information provided.
I've taken my BMW to Midwest Performance twice:
First Time was to replace a the slave cylinder on a manual transmission which is held on by only two nuts. A trained mechanic should be able to replace this within an hour. It took a week to get my car back. I also had to bring the car back again since they had not properly secured the line to the cylinder causing it to bump against the steering column. Cost: Roughly $250 (after a discount for paying cash). This is probably $50-70 high consider how much they charge for labor per hour and the parts.
Second Time: I needed a small belt replaced and an oil change. A trained mechanic should be able to do both in 30-60 minutes. Cost: $140. This is reasonable considering the oil for my car is expensive and only available through BMW. I supplied the belt and oil filter.
More importantly, on this second trip I came in to investigate a horrible thudding noise coming from the drive train. I explained to them the "symptoms" in detail.
After 3 days they reported that they had (finally)changed the belt/oil, but were not able to locate they noise despite having the tech and the porter take the car for several test drives. (NOTE: The porter is the kid that washes your car... he is not qualified to test drive or diagnose problems.) I immediately came in to go on a test drive with the tech, at which time the noise was so noticeable you could actually FEEL something thumping against the bottom of the car. I'm told that I will get a call the next day. No call.
After a week, I go in for a visit again. I'm told that they can't identify the problem, YET the car is okay to drive, and that I should just bring it back in if the noise gets worse or different! The sound really couldn't get much worse.
I take the car, and drive it gingerly home. The next weekend I go to a small paved lot to jack up the car just to do a visual inspection for myself. I find that the transmission brace is broken in half. It would not take someone with any knowledge of cars to recognize that a piece of metal broken in half is a bad thing. This is something that would be GLARINGLY obvious if the car was jacked up or lifted.
I will not speculate as to why they were unable to detect this problem despite being told they had repeatedly inspected the car, nor can I fathom why they thought the car was safe to drive with that horrendous banging.
Pricing: Decent, but I would negotiate for a better deal
Quality of Work: Poor
Timing: Poor
Attitude: Nice, but they never called me when they said they would. I always had to call them.
Overall: I will not use them in the future, nor would I recommend them. -

It takes a special car repair shop to make a woman feel like she is getting treated fairly. Everything from our estimates, to the job, to picking the car up was a pleasant experience. Although we had to have quite a lot of work done, we are happy with the repairs and feel the price was fair and honest.

Solid work on my 2003 986-S that needed some TLC (entire clutch&flywheel project/breaks redone) . I felt Tom did a good job of walking me through the primary issues and then addressing some of the secondary areas of concern that would need work done later. Very friendly, helpful, professional, and fair - my bill wasn't cheap, but a few small things were included for free (i.e bulb changes/oil change) as a value add and nice gesture. Oh, also, almost forgot - Tom called up his buddy Jim at Simon's Carwash, and they gave me a nice wash (retail $30ish) on the house that night on my way home from the shop.
Four stars and not five because: As mentioned, I had my breaks totally re-done, and have substantial squeak on a rolling stop from 20mph to 0. There really is no excuse for that...and as I wear them down, I am sure it will go away - but annoying. Also, there is a very slight rattle that I will need addressed around idle. Lastly, I was told my car would be done Friday...and ultimately was done Wednesday of the following week. I didn't need my car for any reason, but as we all know setting false expectations is bad for business.
In conclusion - the value-add projects were enough for me not to care all that much about some of the minor issues that came up along the way.
I would recommend this spot for someone who needs work done on their sportscar. The mechanics know what is going on, and will give you a fair price. In some instances, they will let you order parts and then they will put them on for you - but don't tell anyone that.
This shop prompted me to finally write a review on yelp, so that should also speak to something. -

i was supposed to get a report on other minor work that needed to be done and didn't. i was told it would emailed to me that week....
i am still waiting for the report a month later and all my calls have not been returned. thanks for nothing. i am going back to VFC engineeringfor all future work on the BMW. -

I've been looking for a new place to service my car ever since I recently moved to the West Loop. So I thought I'd give this place a try, since they're one of the better reviewed places on Yelp.
Aside from the simple oil change, my maintenance and check engine lights were on in my '01 SLK. Turns out the maintenance was for the wiper blade and cabin air replacement, which I decided to skip since I didn't notice any problems. The check engine light was rapidly diagnosed as a failed crank position sensor and fixed.
My experience was pretty much painless, which was great since I dread taking my car in for servicing. I dropped my car off, asked a few questions, and left. I got a call at the end of the day telling me what was wrong with my car. They did not try to pressure me to do any unnecessary repairs. I picked my car up two days later and everything seems fine.
The only issue I can nitpick at was that communication could have been a bit faster. I had made an appointment a week in advance to drop my car off first thing in the morning, but I didn't get a call back with the diagnosis until the evening. A courtesy call also would have been nice to let me know my car was ready to be picked up, since I probably could have picked it up a day earlier. They seem to be a small shop with a lot of business, so don't expect lightning turnaround times.
Overall, though, considering my other alternative seems to be the Mercedes dealership (which is a complete rip-off... An oil change led to $5000 of 'recommended' repairs so I decided to get a second opinion), I'll be bringing my car here from now on. Prices are fair, employees are friendly, and business seems honest. -

I have been to MPCI several times, for both routine items like oil changes but also for (latest was a battery issue) with my 02 Porsche convertible. I can't say enough about the ease of dealing with these guys. They're nice, they're responsive (someone answers the phone!), and their labor rates are reasonable. They also had no problem working with my warranty insurance company. Much easier than driving to the suburbs and dealing with sky high dealer labor rates and wondering if you're getting screwed by the upsell. I highly recommend Tom and his crew.

I do my best to avoid taking my car to a car stealership when possible. Midwest Performance has been terrific in recent visits. They have fair prices and provide me with all the details I need to feel comfortable about the diagnosis of my vehicle. If your car fits their car niche then I would suggest taking it to them. They are conveniently located by a train stop which is important when you're dropping or picking up your vehicle. No assistance needed from friends for transportation.

I recently went in because I had a flat tire. Nothing major but I called up and Lee took care of it all. It was done promptly and they even washed my car for me! Great service and speed. This was probably a mundane task for them since they deal with a ton of high-end cars but they were great to deal with.

My first experience with Midwest Performance Cars was simply an oil change. The guys that helped me out at the shop and over the phone were really nice. Not sure exactly how competitive the prices are based on this one service. By nature, I'm a skeptic about most people, but I'd feel fine recommending MPC to others.

The customer service is fantastic, but equally as important these guys really know what they're doing. My first experience came after I brought my car to the Land Rover dealership, got a quote for some repair work and then stopped by this place to get a second opinion. Their quote was half, and I have no doubt the work they did was at least as good. (Problem was fixed and has never been an issue since.) I had to bring the car in again, and again everything was great. When it came time to pay, there was a misunderstand about a small portion of the work, and Tom told me not to worry about it. I was amazed. Though the dollar amount was a small percentage of the total amount it was so refreshing to see a business actually value its customers. All that wouldn't matter if they didn't do great work, but they do. Great place.

If you can't get the job done should I be paying? Then they forgot to put my lug-nut caps back on. The 100 dollar new customer coupon was nice though.

Great service and great price. Lee is very efficent and knowledgeable. He was able to quote me within $100 of the actual cost of the repairs over the phone. I would recommend them to anyone.

Midwest Performance cars is by far the best and most honest auto repair shop in Chicago! I highly recommend anyone with a German car to have their car serviced here! Their prices over the dealer are amazing and their customer service is great!!!! Easily a 5 star repair shop! thanks for everything MPC!
