Great customer service, friendly and personable. Loved the app/link that they send after doing a full diagnostic – the link includes photos of problem areas, along with the service price, so you can see for yourself and to approve what services you’d like them to follow through with. Great experience will definitely be going back.

The best customer service! The issue was explained to me thoroughly and kindly. I saved so much money from the dealer and they actually got to the root of the problem. Thank you!

Update: I’m very happy with my experience. Everyone I interacted with was professional/knowledgeable, they have very competitive prices and they’re conveniently located. Additionally, they were quick to see my car and fix a rattling noise that occurred after the initial services.I took my car in to change the oil and to run an inspection on it. They took pictures of everything and diagnosed what items where a priority to fix. The only item (outside of the oil change) that stood out were the rear shock absorbers which were leaking. I agreed to the estimate and they stored my car (free of charge) until the next morning. A couple days after, a rattling noise started occurring and i was able to setup an appointment so they could identify the problem. They identified the problem and stored the car.

I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience I had with Zepeda. I have been going to to them for over 10 years now and have taken numerous vehicles to them for service in that time. I always felt that their inspections were thorough and prices were fair. However, after today’s experience, I don’t plan to go back and here is why.Last week, I took my car to a mechanic closer to where I live to get it checked out and see what was up with my brakes squealing. He said I needed all new brake rotors and pads. The initial quote was $1,000. I told him I wasn’t prepared or able to pay that right now, so he said with non-OEM parts, he’d do it for under $600. It seemed totally reasonable and fair, but I was concerned about how quickly he’d reduced the price and wasn’t sure if something was up, so I thought I’d take it to Zepeda and get the straight, honest answer.When I dropped the car off, I explained the situation to David. He was busy as usual, but I felt like we were in an understanding. I got a text a few hours later with the report and estimate. When I clicked through it, I was quoted nearly $1,500 for the brake work, a tire valve replacement, and new windshield wipers. The one set of brakes was roughly $700 and the other was $600. There was no cost for the inspection/estimate on the invoice.I called David and asked if there were an option to do a similar deal where we could use non-OEM or aftermarket parts to reduce the price and he said no, they didn’t do that and this was the estimate. I figured, ok, this is what it will cost and figured that I’d need to save up a little bit more then. I told David that I’d go ahead and get the tire repaired but unfortunately I’d have to hold off on the brakes for the time being since I can’t afford it right now. He called me a bit later to let me know the car was ready to be picked up. I was under the impression that I’d just owe the $42 for the tire valve replacement. He didn’t say anything about an inspection cost.When I went to pick up the car, the total was $120. David had already left for the day, so I asked the woman at the desk if it was just for the tire valve replacement and she said yes. I went back to look up the inspection text/email and clicked through the estimate and suddenly there was a $70 charge for the vehicle inspection that wasn’t there before. I asked her about it and she called David and said that this was just what it was. I told her that he never said anything to me about it. So I asked her to call him back, which I appreciate, and I got to talk to him about it.David’s position was, well, my mechanics had to do the work of pulling the wheel off, had to look at the brakes, check out your car, etc. He said that if I turned down the brake service that it was only fair that I paid for the mechanic’s time to check out the vehicle. I totally get that. I completely understand David’s position. And he’s right — I think that would be fair if he were transparent about this from the jump. However, this was never discussed. It wasn’t mentioned when I dropped the car off in the morning and wasn’t mentioned when he called to tell me the car was ready.Simply put, this was not a cost that I approved, but I was still being charged for it. He said that he was doing me a favor by only charging me $70 and not for a full hour’s worth for labor and that when you drop off a car for service, there is an expectation to have the work performed. He also said because of the car’s make that this type of work and upkeep will be more. Additionally, I was charged tax on top of the labor, which doesn’t seem right. I was under the impression that shops weren’t supposed to charge tax on labor.I understand that a shop needs to make money to stay in business, but there is also a very real, tangible value in being moral, ethical, and honest as well. I am just really surprised and disappointed that with such a solid reputation, such a long history in the neighborhood, and to a customer who has been loyal over the years that Zepeda would risk all of that over $70.

Thanks for getting us back on the road in time for our event. Honest, capable, communicative, and fairly priced, Zepeda’s are easy to deal with. We’re lucky to have them in Logan Square.

My car broke down and I found Zepeda on a search for nearby repair shops. José and David couldn’t have been nicer. They recommended a trusted towing company and had to replace my water tank, front axle, and even offered a way to fix my exhaust leak in a way that was less costly than replacing the system. It’s been a few weeks since the repairs and my car is running like a dream.

Took my car in for routine service and was very satisfied with the quality of work these guys did. They found a few issues with my brake pads and rotors and sent me pictures and everything in a web-based report with the quote. The actual repair work went fast and without a hitch, would bring my car here again.

I would recommend Zepeda’s to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and reasonably priced. They don’t do work that doesn’t need to be done. I feel like a valued customer when I go to Zepeda’s and that makes me value them all the more.

This is a great auto shop. The prices are good and they dont try to upsell you on costly and unnecessary repairs like my toyota dealer always does. Honesty is refreshing and I feel it at Zepeda. I will be using them exclusively from now on.

Took my car in due to brakes issue. They took my car immediately, and it was ready to go in just a few hours. David, at the front desk, was very helpful and even followed up with me a few days later to ensure satisfaction with the work. Also, the price was more affordable than all other quotes I received. Absolutely will be back when needed!

Rachel Shirley

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They’re honest about critical items that need to be fixed and what only needs to be monitored for the time being. Taken my car and my husband’s car there a couple of times and received great service every time at fair prices. This is our go-to repair shop in Logan Square/Humboldt Park.

My daughter drove into the city to visit for a few days and her car had some issues when she arrived. I worked with David and he got her car in the next day to diagnose the problem. They even provided a detailed report of other items that need addressed. They were able to fix the safety issues in a day and get her car back to her in time for her drive home. The entire experience with Zepeda was easy and professional. I will be recommending their services to family and friends. Thank you Zepeda Auto Service.
