“I have been to other auto service shops in the area and not happy with service or price. Due to poor service from the other guy my car had more issues! Someone told me about Tuffy and their great experience. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Doug and Ken were OUTSTANDING they were so helpful in explaining my car issues and fixing the problem and I didn’t have to take out a loan for payment! I will recommend them to anyone for great service and especially pricing! Again, thank you Doug☺️”

“I've been bringing my 2003 Camry to Tuffy after my Toyota dealership told me my car needed thousands in repairs and I should consider trading it in. This was 2 years ago and it now has over 200,000 miles. I believe the folks at the LITH Tuffy are honest and I am very satisfied with their service. ”

“Always courteous and professional. This time I lowered the rating simply because I feel the charge is excessive. $877 for a window motor doesn't seem appropriate. Maybe it is. I just don't get it. Bob”

“Tuffy Lake in the Hills deserves a 20 Star rating!!! They were respectful, and completed the work in the exact amount of time they said it would be done. Ken, Store Mgr, was very professional and great to talk with. Every Auto Service Center should have a Manager like Ken. He really cares about his customers vehicles and their time. The pricing here for the work is extremely reasonable. There is no other place that you should visit for work to be done on your vehicle. THE BEST!!!”

“I dropped off my vehicle for a brake service and was able to pick it up in the same day. It was also nice that the towing service was included in the bill. The mechanics I've encountered in other service centers were condescending when explaining things to me because I'm a woman. However, everyone that I spoke to at Tuffy were kind and informative. 10/10 would recommend!”

“always heard good things about this place. I knew my brakes were at the end of their life, was trying to push it off as long as possible by downshifting. With winter coming up I decided I better get them done now. Made an appointment for the next day. They spent about 30 minutes diagnosing (beyond brakes, looking at other potential issues). They told me they could just do the fronts for now and that should clear it up. An hour later I was out the door, even 10 minutes past closing time to finish the job.”

“I just like to say that I came in on a Saturday 9th of January this year. I was getting a routine winterization with oil change included everything package deal. I had thought about why did my oil change light turn on one day later I look at my emails and find this wonderful deal. I've always dealt with this location. The people here are awesome they're really great people down to earth. They're always thinking of you. After the oil change I was told that my back tail light was out. After observing the situation it was a quick fix it was just a loose light bulb. I was on my way back to my normal busy life. I would highly recommend Tuffy to anyone. I drive one hour just to get here because the service is so awesome. I would highly recommend Ron Byrd and crew to anyone! Kathy King best way to”

He brought my pony back to life and now it has it's get up and go. On my ride hope after picking up the car, my eyes filled with tears as I knew my dad was with me. Thank you Ron for everything.

“I took my 1989 Toyota truck in to have the wheels balanced. They did a good job. The truck had been abused in it's former life. The guys at Tuffy noticed one of the wheels was bent. They let me know which one it was, in case I wanted to replace it. The tires and wheels on my truck are old and hard. The truck was very much improved by their service...this truck will never drive like new...”

Besides my car sounding like complete garbage, and then the nice gentleman, Kieth suggested that Ron who’s the owner instead of waiting in the waiting space that Ron could give me a ride home- was so convenient and nice of them!

“Called Ken with an involved job for them. Full custom exhaust install, from headers to tailpipe on a truck with 115k in Chicago winters. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. While maybe a bit more involved than they bargained for when given an initial quote, the guys in the shop did a great job. The shop owner, Ron, has a background in performance/custom work, and he was hands on and involved throughout to insure fitment met his standards. Communication throughout was great, and the fabrication and tweaking required was certainly worth the time investment. Money well spent with guys that did the install justice. ”

“My husband had the brakes done a month ago. He grabbed my check book by accident and paid for the service with the wrong book. His name is not on that account. Tuffy accepted the check from him, even though his name wasn't an authorized signer on the account. Tuffy called me about the check bouncing and I was confused. I said I'd follow up with my bank. Meanwhile, I had been in a terrible accident and I've been unable to handle much. Today, my phone rang and it was the local police department talking to me about a bad check *I* wrote and how I could be arrested for fraud. I didn't write the check. I called Tuffy and asked why they took the check if it didn't have the correct name on it to begin with. The gentleman said "we knew it was your husband". Believe it or not... Not everyone has joint accounts! Having me threatened for something I didn't do is upsetting beyond belief. I plan to file complaints everywhere I possibly can. Instead of sending a letter or to collection, they sick police on a person for a mix up. I will never do business with this company after this. I understand a bounced check is an issue but mistakes happen and can be rectified without treating people like criminals. ESPECIALLY when they didn't even write the check!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I called several different places and rceived a wide range of prices. I decided to have my vehicle serviced at Tuffy's in Lake in the Hills IL because of the way i was treated on the phone by their manager. The service was wonderful and I will continue to use them exclusively. Thanks! ”
