I needed a replacement remote programmed for my older car’s alarm, keyless entry and remote start. CarMania came up in my search and I realized they were the same shop that programmed a remote for this car back in 2017! I thought they had closed, but they had just moved to a different location.
I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon without an appointment. The guy at the counter took the remote, went out to my car and came back a couple minutes later—done! Fast, easy and great customer service.
Glad I found this neighborhood shop again. They also do auto repair and maintenance. Highly recommend CarMania!

Lucas is the absolute best! My girlfriends car needed new shocks, struts and it was time for a new clutch. We did not want to sell the car so I took it straight to Lucas who has been working on my family's cars for years. It was a big job but Lucas is the ultimate professional. He worked around the Thanksgiving holiday to finish the job as soon as possible. A good mechanic is hard to find and not something to want to change each time you need something or go to the dealer and pay inflated prices. I would recommend CarMania for any vehicle needs to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic!

I've been taking my cars to CarMania for a while now, and the service has always been outstanding. Whether it's routine maintenance or more complex repairs, they consistently go above and beyond. The work is always done promptly, with great attention to detail, and I never feel like unnecessary repairs are being pushed on me. The pricing is fair, and Lucas is always transparent about the costs before starting any work. I trust him with my vehicles and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and honest mechanic!

Reliable, trustworthy and honest business. I felt informed throughout the process and assured that the only work done on my car was necessary to its working condition. They were overall transparent about the cost and work being done.
Lukasz was attentive and very responsive; I could tell he genuinely cared that my car work properly and safely for me.
Thank you, Carmania for an overall good and stress free experience!

Some time ago. They removed an old alarm system that was not working and installed a new alarm system on my Honda Civic. They also replaced a passenger window control switch inside the door. Very satisfied with the quality of work and price. Just recently, I had an issue with the remote not functioning correctly. Lucas the owner reprogrammed it at no charge. Now that’s customer service!! Thank you again!

CarMania Auto shop is highly recommended. I met Lukas and his Team couple of years ago through my old mechanic, I never looked back since then. They are very professional and courteous. Most importantly I have come to trust the quality of their work and prices. Lukas direct approach to issues is why CarMania is my 1st and last stop for any auto repairs. You can also buy fairly used cars at a reasonable prices. I highly recommend CarMania.

Stopped in not sure what to expect, only knowing that my remote start wasn't working. Lucas took my keys and 5 minutes later it was working again! I thought I would be there for a while and was worried about how much it would cost. This experience was the complete opposite! And then he didn't charge me! I could not be more pleased. Thanks to Lucas and CarMania for making my day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I got my windows tinted and a remote starter installed here. Great service, fair pricing and super fast! Lucas and his team did a great job and were very helpful in deciding what tint percentage and what type of starter would work best for my car! I would definitely recommend their services and will definitely be returning for upgrades or regular service. Best customer service out of all the shops I've ever taken my car to!

I am very pleased with the work done on my car at CarMania and highly recommend it to others. The owner and the staff are very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They were quickly able to diagnose and identify the cause of the problem with the car I have recently purchased and fix it at an affordable price, saving me unnecessary extra costs at a dealership.

I came in yesterday to have a new remote programmed for my Viper remote starter, and Lucas I believe was his name took care of me immediately. The remote was programmed, and he didn't charge me. I highly recommend Car Mania in Arlington Heights for this or any other car service. My car is due for a repair shortly, and I'm bringing it to them !!!!!!

Lucas installed a remote starter on my Audi eight years ago. The unit developed some problems after I tried to replace the remote. I went back to Luca. Even after all the time, he remembered me and my car and took care of everything. He tracked down a replacement, as it's been long discontinued, to save me money. Great guy and service, from front desk to work.

I've serviced or repaired my business trucks as well my private cars for several years at this shop. They have installed alarms and remote starters to each of my work trucks and professionally tinted windows. Reasonable priced, knowledgeable staff and quick turnaround time. Highly recommended local business.
~ Active P
Needed inspection and also a new battery. Called that morning they said to come in, as long as I was there at least 60 mins before closing.
Completed the inspection as well replacing and cleaning the cables/conduits in 35 minuets. Very friendly, very direct, no up-selling on anything. Would definitely go back.
~ Adriana O
Phenomenal service yet again!!! My entire family has at some point taken one of our cars to Lucas. Very competitive prices and very good quality mechanical work. One always worries when they have to take their car for repairs. I feel comfortable putting my trust in Lucas to take care of me and my car. I would HIGHLY recommend CarMania Inc.

Got a nail near the edge of your tire? We've had two separate incidents and the amazing team at CarMania has saved us both times while other shops refused to repair them! We always appreciate their help while keeping safety first. Thank you, CarMania - we will keep coming back!

I had an issue with my remote starter ( was installed somewhere else) I took my vehicle to them. They fixed it within an hour or so. The guy didn't charge me anything, he said it was easy fixed.
