What clients say about Dakota K Auto Repair in Arlington Heights (IL)
Excellent service, gave me an honest opinion of the work that needed to be done and let me make a decision on what to have fixed now vs hold off on. Would highly recommend.
I was tired of the poor experience from dealership customer service department and at a friend's recommendation decided to come here. Fantastic experience all the way around, from scheduling online to calls/reminders, front desk, shuttle service and superior communication about the issues and resolution. Very straight forward and never any pressure. Super informative and super friendly! Thank you :)
This was my first experience with Dakota K. Even though it was bad news about my car, I felt they were honest, fair and reasonable. I will use them again.
This experience getting all my brakes done was great. Their prices are very reasonable and they’re very professional. Even when they ran into an issue with the repair they were able to resolve it with no additional cost. My family has been bringing our cars there for decades.
Went there to get my diagnostic done due to my”Check Engine Light” being ON, and these guys did an amazing job in a very professional way. Thanks for your service !
I had a terrible experience at this shop. The front desk staff clearly had extremely limited knowledge. The whole place felt chaotic and unqualified, with what looked like a young, unsupervised worker doing tasks far beyond his capability.
I needed a simple valve hose replacement, and while every other shop in the valley quoted me no more than $200, Dakota quoted me over $800. I’m not sure if that price was jacked up to cover everyone’s lunch and coffee? It made absolutely no sense.
They charged over $200 just for an advanced diagnostic, which is outrageous when reputable shops in the area charge about $50 for the same service. The building itself looked rundown and unsafe, and I did not feel comfortable trusting them with my car. Outrageously priced for MINIMAL work.
I’ve had bad experiences elsewhere, but I would go back to Heart Auto Care in a heartbeat before ever going back here. This place is not reputable, not professional, and definitely not worth your time or money. If you want to be scammed out of your money, this is the place. RUN!
The staff are exceptional. They really care about their customers and keep you informed every step of the way. From now on, I’m always coming to Dakota if I need to service my vehicles. Top notch experience.
Dakota K took my car in for critical service with only 1/2-day notice. They got me back on the road again quickly for a very reasonable price. Everyone I dealt with were friendly and good listeners.
Friendly and helpful! I’ve been going there for about a year and I’ve never felt like they did more work than they needed or pressured me to do extra work. It’s the reason I keep going back.
Dakota Auto is fantastic! This small, local shop delivers top-notch service with a personal touch. The mechanics are skilled, honest, and always go the extra mile to ensure my car runs perfectly. Fair prices and quick turnaround make them my go-to for all auto repairs. Highly recommend supporting this gem of a business!
Absolute gem of a business. Trustworthy and friendly shop that puts the customer first. I can’t recommend them enough and will be bringing my cars for repairs (hopefully not too often) for a long time.
Absolutely great experience. I went in for a diagnosis and was really happy with the service. Prices were fair and the customer service was top level. Thanks to Gia for helping me through everything. She was kind and very helpful. This place is way better than going to a dealer. I highly recommend it.
I went to them because I wanted to get a full inspection on my car because there was a noise I couldn’t figure out. They gave my car many tests and couldn’t find anything wrong but informed me that the car was 100% safe. Zach on the front desk said that when they don’t find anything there is no charge, even though I was willing to pay for the peace of mind. They also recharged my A/C at a very reasonable price. This was my first time ever using them and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone who needs car repairs. They also have a shuttle service to drop you off and pick you up when you leave your vehicle. Try them out and you will be surprised at how good they are.
True experts and great customer service! Incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, provided explanations for suggested repairs, pictures and urgency level based on repair. As a person trying to maximize their user car on a budget, I appreciated this so much! Thank you for the courtesy rides as well. We will be back!
Moved here a year ago and chose this mechanic over others in the area. I was looking for someone old school that has been around a long time with ASE certified techs. Dakota reminds me of the mechanic shop my parents and I only took our vehicles to for work for countless years. Very satisfied with the upfront prices and there were things they could have got over on me with but instead we're honest and able to reuse and save the parts and save me money instead of replacement. These guys will have my business from now on truck is back driving like it's new again
I had an enjoyable experience at Dakota K yesterday: from the manager Gia, service advisor Angie and the parts manager & driver (who drives you home, if needed and pick you up after the work is done) Loaner cars are also available.
Great place to take your car for any repairs. They were upfront with any extra costs and took good pictures of the issues. Explained in full what the repairs needed and why it was important. Nice family owned business. Thanks Again!
They do an excellent job of diagnostics here and do a great job of taking care of their customers. Friendly staff that was easy to interface with.They recently replaced a wheel bearing that was under warranty. It was a hassle-free process.
Had AC recharge done. It cost exactly what they quoted over the phone when I made the appointment. Very nice people to work with. I will definitely be back.
This was the first time I tried Dakota K, they were recommended by a friend. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. I will absolutely be back if/when I need automotive services. Wonderful experience in my time of need.
I brought my 2009 Chevy Suburban in to see why the Check Engine light came on. The diagnostics showed an Engine Oil Pressure Sensor issue resulting in replacing the Oil Pressure Switch. I was given a time upfront as to when the job would be completed. It was finished right on time. I want to say the entire experience from start to finish was great.
Thanks Dakota-K you’re earned my return business.
Dakota K is the only place I would trust with my vehicles. They have helped me with a range of issues in recent years with both my daughter's car and with my minivan, and I cannot say enough good things about their amazing customer service and talented service technicians. They go above and beyond to figure out the source of the problem, and they do not to leave any stone unturned. They are the most honest, thorough, knowledgeable, respectful, and kind technicians and customer service team that I have ever encountered, and I am extremely grateful to have found them.
Dakota K is the only place I will be taking my car moving forward. They were recommended to me after having multiple subpar mechanical fixes at the dealership I was going to. Dakota K fixed my car and it is so important to be able to trust someone to be honest with you. Dakota K will be, so happy to have found them!
Came in because I had a flat tire, and needed to have my brand new tire plugged but unfortunately it went through the side wall. They had to get a new tire from Indiana ( during the snowstorm in the Midwest yesterday )and did a turnaround in less than 24 hours.
Extremely helpful and very friendly, and I felt extremely comfortable with them and the with price of the tire!! Below dealer prices!!
They were very, very good.
Can’t recommend them enough. Hope I don’t need them again, but if I do, I’ll be going there.
Recently moved to the area and was recommended Dakota K Auto Repair for my vehicles. Originally took my vehicle in for a noise. Once the tech had the car on the lift they were able to see bad uneven wear on the tires. They called and informed me of the problems and shared photos with me as well to ensure ion was educated on the potential fixes. They fixed the issue and gave me a great price on tires with no high pressure sales pitch. I left feeling like an appreciated customer!
Excellent service from start to finish. Dakota K was a pleasure to work with - very caring and polite - but most importantly, they are experts at diagnosing and fixing motor vehicles! Truly loved my experience with them. Also, greatly appreciative of their pick up service, which was thoughtful and timely. I look forward to future business with them, and would highly recommend them to any vehicle owner.
