This was the first time I had my car serviced at Lefty's. They were very professional, taking the time to explain clearly before beginning the work what the technical details relating to the job were. They charged me only the price that they had initially quoted and had it ready for me to pickup at the time they stated. Everything was straight forward. I was even offered a lift back to my house as I was leaving the car at the shop preparatory to having it repaired. Since the weather was nice, I turned down this thoughtful gesture, since I needed the exercise. However, I might take them up on the offer next time, if it's in the middle of winter. Another convenient point to note is that Lefty's is within easy walking distance to the Metra Forest Glen commuter train station.

The guy came to my house and checked out my car. It turns out it was no big deal, but he saved me SO much hassle by not having to automatically get my car towed to the dealership, only for the dealership to turn around and tell me it was no big deal. Lefty's customer service cannot be beat, and I cannot say enough good things about them! Thanks Bill!!
Description of Work
So, I called Bill at Rusty's because my car was smelling strongly of gas. He suggested bringing it in for them to take a look at it. I was happy to, however, I am 7 months pregnant, with a small child at home and didn't want to risk driving it over there, in case there was some kind of huge gas leak. The other thing to mention is that my car is still under warranty, so if I did need any work done to it, it would need to be done at the dealership. Bill offered to send one of his guys to my house to take a look and see if he could figure out what was going on with it, since I am located not very far away...even though if there was something wrong, they wouldn't be doing the work for me anyway.

They are honest with the diagnosis. I had a car which I took somewhere and was told that the engine was shot and that I should look at a new car but they fixed that same car for about 300 dollars. It has been running for 25,000 miles more yet it was supposed to be trashed.

Located at 716 Grand Ave. Ingleside, IL 60041. We started our business servicing only Acura’s and Honda’s. Through the years our customers requested we work on their other vehicles they owned as well. Now we provide service for Domestics as well as Foreign cars. We saw how customers were being treated at the local dealerships. Customers were paying for work that wasn’t actually being done to the car and prices were unfair to the customer as well. He wanted to change all that to benefit the customer. Since Christoph's Automotive, and now known as MD Auto Solutions has been in business, they have won several awards for great service and satisfied customers, most recently they were recognized as one of the best shops in Chicagoland, by Chicago Magazine, and has also received recognition by Consumer's Checkbook.
