Great shop to begin working on your car Offers lifts at a very good price, and there’s always somebody there to at least guide you in what you’re working on. Changed my brakes and oil on the first visit. First time doing it and only took 5 hours 😂 Came back to drain and fill coolant and trans fluid. So much easier to work on a lift vs jacks or anything. All tools are provided at your own bay as well All fluid waste (oil, brake fluid, coolant) is disposed of by them.

Making a reservation was quick and easy, and they had the tools I required to complete the job. I needed to change the fuel filter on my Diesel SUV, and was able to do it quickly once it was up on the rack. Much cheaper than the labor charge my local shop wanted to charge, and faster too. Check You-Tube for instructions, and do it yourself to save some serious cash.

I love that I can make an oil change appointment online! Quick and easy. The folks at Gearheads are super friendly and I thought they were very thorough. Will be back!

If you work on your own car or motorcycle, this is where you want to be. Friendly, helpful staff, lifts, and all the tools you need to do anything from an oil change to an engine swap.

Exceptional Folks! GREAT for the Weekend Mechanic or Pro looking for a spot to do your thing! I bring my Cars, Wife and Dog to the shop. They go for a walk and Coffee while I wrench. Definitely worth checking out.

A great workspace to work on my van and my wife car. Whether a oil change or brake job, or complex project, gearhead is the goto place. I highly recommend it to all DIYer for all car maintenance.

10/10 would recommend all people here are friendly and others using space are as well. Benches and tools nicely organized and was able to change pads and rotors easily!

The one and only in the Windy. Four wheels or two. More than welcome to do you according to your services, and when we falter, there's family around to step in place. Car meets, class, projects, racing, you name it, it can more than likely happen in this well-equipped, fully-facilitated space. All we ask is for mutual respect, as it is a two-way street.

Great place for D.I.Y work!

Love this place! If you can plan ahead, and work quickly, you can save cash. Installed a cat-back exhaust and did an oil change here and it went super smooth and was less than $100. I highly recommend this place. Tim and Molly are very pleasant owners and they have the coolest cars there.

Love this shop. Rent a lift and tools for a very fair price. They can help you if your stuck on somwthing. Advanced tools for rent or loan. If youre a gearhead like me just buy the membership and save money. Everybody needs a place to work on their projects and this is wxactly what chicago needs.


Nov 18, 2023

Super friendly owners, quality equipment, and a community around it as an added bonus. Highly recommend


Nov 18, 2023

Understand that your skills don’t improve when you have a lovely set of all the right tools… hugely beneficial for city dwellers who fancy themselves to be mechanics of any sort. Love that this exists.


Nov 18, 2023

Watch out for molly. She will try to steal your rearview mirror swag. Still true.


Nov 18, 2023

Work on your car and use their tools, lyft, and towels. A great opportunity to learn new skills in srlf automotive. They even have classes to fix your own car(s)... $40 and hour flat fee, tools missing, you will pay for those as well. Happy fixing!!!


Nov 18, 2023

Worst service they don't have proper equipment and the lady she provides you basic tools which is $150 at Walmart please don't go there and waste money and efforts better you reach to local mechanic shop they'll do that less than the amount and time you'll spent there

extra ordinary service

Это замечательное место!!! Я здесь был два раза. Я менял глушитель полностью на своём Scion XB , всё отлично! Инструмент здесь есть любой какой нужно. Спасибо ребята! Если что приеду ещё.

Amazing place! Cannot rate Gearhead Workspace high enough! Very reasonable rates to do your own work and extremely accommodating. Molly even offered advice on a how to extract a stripped hex screw, which I'd have been S.O.L. without. Will definitely return for future projects! Thank you!

Awesome workspace that offers workshops for anyone wanting to learn more about cars. I’ve taken two workshops here and feel so much more confident in car knowledge!


Nov 18, 2022

Drove two hours from Indiana to get here but it was SO worth it! First time DIY fixing my car so a small project turned into a two day project, but the owners were nothing but kind and helpful to us! They have all kinds of tools for any job you're looking get done on your car. 100% recommend!


Nov 18, 2022

It's a great spot to work on your car. They have a ton of tools and a supportive staff. While it can get a little hot and greasy, it's not unlike any other garage environment. It's a great asset to the DIY community!
