These guys are truly the best. I had to take my car here a couple of times bc of my lead foot and they have gone above and beyond with all my expectations. For example, they are straight forward and honest in every category. They told me what needed to be done and what could wait if I chose. Moreover, they worked with my insurance company and got them to cover everything (all 3 times). Finally, the car was done on time and looked brand new, the quality s flawless every time. I would highly recommend them for anything car related. Thanks again Airport Auto Rebuilders, keep up the great work!

I have never met anyone who was so eager to help someone. We have been in our home for 18 years but every time I call with a quick question, he will go above and beyond to get your question answered immediately. His expertise is by far the best out there. We have referred many family and friends because we trust him 100%. He has a magnetic personality and I would never go with anyone but him. He always gets you the very best for your money - what more could you ask for!

I can't say enough good things about Steve and his entire team. This was my first time obtaining a mortgage and had no idea how to proceed. Steve talked me through the early steps and sent me pre-approval letters for a 2-flat and a 3-flat within 24 hours. That was typical of the responsiveness and professionalism I experiences through the whole process right up to our successful closing. My email inquiries were typically answered on the same day, often within a couple hours, and the information either provided or requested was explained clearly and simply. Excellent experience, and I won't hesitate to use Steve's services again or enthusiastically recommend him to my friends and acquaintances.
Description of Work: I contacted Steve Siwinski because I was looking at a 3-flat in Chicago and needed help with a mortgage.

Steve makes the process of obtaining a mortgage easier for his customers. He is responsive, organized and takes time to explain the details of what can be a confusing transaction. Thanks to Steve, obtaining the mortgage was the least concerning part of purchasing a new home. If you are thinking of purchasing a home for the first time, I strongly suggest you contact Steve before you start and talk with him about getting pre-qualified. If you are thinking of selling and buying, talk with Steve about what you'll need to get the new mortgage and what you'll qualify for so that doesn't slow you down when you're ready to act.
Description of Work: I've worked with Steve several times on new mortgages and re-financing. I last worked with him when I purchased a home in 2012.

As a first time home buyer, I was amazed at how well Steve and his team handled my loan. I knew what to expect every step of the way, and there were no surprises at all. I got to know Steve's team and who handled what. They responded to my e-mails and phone calls promptly, and Steve was even accessible on his cell phone, so I could reach him anytime. And what's more, when at closing some unexpected costs came up, and my lawyer tried to fight it, Steve was willing to cover the costs for me, but in the end, we were able to apply some money from my second mortgage. He puts customers first and having a good relationship with them is very important to him.

Steve Siwinski was a true GOD sent for me. I couldn't have been more pleased. I needed to use his services for my first home I was purchasing. I have never gone through this process before and was very unsure even how to begin. Steve explained everything very 'dummy down' and clearly to me from start to finish. Steve was very professional and prompt with the time frame of my loan. I definitely saved his number and email address and passed the word along about his services to any whom shall need him. I could not have had a more excellent of an experience with Steve. If you need an honest, personable and respectable lender, please do yourself a favor, be smart with your money, save the headache of fly by nights and the frustration of waiting and waiting and not knowing what to do.....Contact Steve Siwinski because you will NOT regret it!

Everything went smoothly, I was very impressed. I was able to close with my home within 29days! Steve and his team worked cohesively and expediently. I heard other nightmares from people trying to get home loans from other companies giving you the run around. I was recommended to him by my realtor at the time and I am so happy I listened to her. You will be very happy if you choose Steve to provide you a loan. He was very organized and he and his team always kept in touch with what I needed to gather up for my loan process. Thank you Steve.
