Two other major chains failed to fix the grinding vibration. Tuffy in LITH diagnosed and corrected the issue to my great satisfaction. Even got a ride home and back. Good techs and friendly service.

My car needed regular maintenance and an overall inspection. Rather than pay premium prices at the dealership, I decided to take my car to Tuffy in Lake in the Hills based on a previous, positive experience at this location. I made the right decision. I thought that my car needed its tires rotated, but Buddy, the manager, inspected the treads and rightly advised that rotation wasn't yet needed. In the interest of good customer service, Buddy deducted the cost of the rotation from the agree-upon coupon price. My oil and filter change was finished within an hour, and the inspection results indicated that no further repairs were needed at this time. Tuffy Lake in the Hills continues to be trustworthy and reasonably-priced. If you haven't already, I recommend giving them a try.

I’ve been bringing the family cars to Tuffy’s for over ten years. They are always friendly, quick service, explain everything and most importantly HONEST. I have never felt that I was sold any service that I really didn’t require. They offer a one year road side service with any purchase, even a simple oil change, which thankfully I’ve never had to use but it’s nice to know that it’s there if I ever needed it. I would highly recommend Tuffy’s to everyone.

Came in for an alignment and the guy's did a thorough inspection of my vehicle and brought some very important things to my attention that should be addressed. Extremely professional and didn't feel pressured at all. Very fair and really honest which is rare in the car industry. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Tuffy's to anyone who needs work done.

I called to ask for a quote on brakes because another place quoted me $1000. They mentioned coming in for a free estimate to see what I really needed. It was so worth it. They were honest and gave me a quote on what I actually needed which was 50% less than what the other place quoted. I would highly recommend. Very impressed!

Saved the day on the first "Polar Vortex" day in December. Early Monday morning call, owner off having his own Polar Vortex crisis...took me as a walk-in, settled my problem within 30 minutes and with a smile on their faces, despite all the stress of the morning. I would definitely recommend Tuffy's!!

This Tuffy (Lake in the Hills) came up in my search for exhaust work. I had an axle back system for my Ford Edge. It was not a simply bolt-on and need some custom working to install/mount it. In the end I'm pleased with the work and experience. Thanks Ron.

Excellent service, they did the brakes on one of my cars, and new tire, and wheel alignments on 2 of my cars. The cars track great. The tires they recommended for me are great, better ride than the original tires.They also helped me out when I had a flat when leaving for a trip.Fixed it and got me on my way within the hour. They are very service orientated and are willing to help find the best solution to what you need.

A hose broke on my Uplander Van an I had it towed to them. They were extremely helpful and professional in getting it fixed at the best possible price. Gave me a lift to and from my condo.I will be going to them for all my work as well as for maintenance. They are part of the Tuffy national brand but locally owned and operated, which is always a plus in my book. And good coffee in the waiting room.
