Consumer Comments for Petersen Automotive

Consumer from CHICAGO, IL
May 02, 2026

Specializes in Saab repair, but they work on other cars as well. Superior diagnostic ability; fixed multiple problems with a 24-year-old Saab that other good shops missed. Thorough, pleasant, easy to work with; even took the car to the state testing station (after a failed emissions test). No courtesy ride home, so be sure you have a way to get home and back.

Highly professional with highly accurate estimates and suggesting cost-effective options

Consumer from Chicago, IL

OWNERS HAVE RECENTLY CHANGES, BUT THE QUALITY IS AS HIGH AND THE TWO OWNERS AS EXCELLENT AS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. HIGH QUALITY WORK, FRANK DISCUSSION OF OPTIONS AND WHAT'S NECESSARY AND RECOMMENDED AND NOTING POTENTIAL TIMING TO SPLIT UP NEEDED WORK.
