A1 Precision Auto Werks

Matt O'Connell helped me fix my car when I was on the way to Chicago from Urbana. He helped me immediately and did not overcharge me, he was extremely honest. He told me exactly what was wrong and my options for my car. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!

I have had several dealings with the owner of A1, and am incredibly pleased with the service and professionalism of this business. Matt has never talked down to me or my daughters about issues with our vehicles, and as been upfront with his pricing and timing for repairs. I have, and will continue to recommend A1 to anyone in need of service.

On November 1, 2016 my car broke down at the Prairieview rest stop off of I 57. After a quick Google search on my phone for a local mechanic I found A-1 Precision Auto at 5511 W Wilson St. Monee IL. 708-534-5454
I called them and spoke with Mr. Matt O'Connell and told him that I believe my starter went out on my vehicle. Matt asked me what kind of vehicle I'm in and he will have a tow truck come and get me. I told Matt that I am in a 2007 Ford Crown Vic police car.
Matt asked me what color my vehicle was and I informed him that it is a fully marked vehicle for the Polish American Police Association of Illinois. Approximately 10 minutes later a tow truck from Wes Kochel Towing & Recovery 25800 S Sunset Dr. Monee IL. 708-534-8477 came and towed me to A-1 Precision.
A-1 had my new starter installed in 26 minutes and I should be happy but I'm not. I believe this shady business price gouges their customers. They charge me $586.48 to install a starter in a Ford Crown Victoria. The part itself they charged me was $240.75 for a starter. Today I called some local parts stores for a price on the starter and for a remanufactured starter goes anywhere between $99-$117 and for a brand-new one goes for $143 on average. And I was curious also about the tow truck bill because they charge me $125 for a five minute car ride so I contacted the tow company directly and they told me they charged A-1 a flat $85 to tow my car. This business is a fraud and should be shut down. Monee Illinois should be ashamed to have this place as a business in their community. And the tow truck company should stop doing business with A-1 because they are going to give themselves a bad name by doing business with this fraudulent company.
