Was a lil nervous because I’ve never worked with a lift before, but I have to say Greg and Molly are the most patient people I’ve ever meet in the car business world. They were happy to answer even the most basic questions and guide me through the whole process. I can’t recommend this place enough.

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!

  • Ellen Miller

The people at Gearhead Workspace were amazing help. We broke down on lake shore drive and waited for a tow truck for 4 hours. we had called Gearhead to let them know we were coming. They eventually came and got us themselves and provided excellent service. Highly recommended and thank you!

  • Udey Kumra

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.

  • RJ Richard

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!

  • Scott M

First visit today. Staff was super nice and extra helpful! It’s been years since I replaced a muffler and local chain repair shop wanted over $400. Bought the parts myself and booked an hour at Gearhead. Saved a ton and had a great time with my daughter replacing her muffler.

  • Sohail Mohsin

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

  • Alan

Love this place. When you don't have your own lift but want to know you torqued every bolt right instead of the shop you taking it to said they did, this is the place for you. I like getting my hands a little dirty and learning more about how my vehicle works.

  • Redoing It

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!!!

  • Mark Condra

The next best thing to working in my dad's garage. They reserved the lift for me, kept a tidy workspace, recycled my old parts, provided customer service when needed. It definitely saved me money compared to taking the car to a shop. I'll be back!

  • George Rustman

My truck broke down near the place and i didnt have much cash. They got my truck back alive earlier than expected, and pricing was reasonable. Freindly and helpful staff(especially Chris) that were understanding to my situation. Even got a

  • Daniel Moussa

This place is a Chicago hidden gem. Was able to come in and wrench on my new project car and get good advice and tool support. Other customers are cool too and very helpful. Looking forward to coming back and possibly storing my car there.

  • Ben Hammer

This place is awesome! I came in because I had to replace the power steering pressure hose on our 2003 Honda Pilot. The manufacturer states that this job takes about 1.5-2 hours. Well, I’m an amateur, so I thought I could probably get it

  • Caleb McCauley

Overall great experience at Gearhead Workspace. I scheduled a few hours to perform some maintenance on my car and the entire process went off without a hitch. They had a nice variety of tools and shop supplies available in each bay. The

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

  • Sunny Patel

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!

  • A Y

I did not use the services of the company, but I should say that the company is focused on the client, so read my story below. My friend gave me a birthday certificate. I could not use it for a long time,

  • Aaron Dorsey

Great DIY shop and was able to find everything I needed. It was my first time doing a brake job and both Tim and Molly were very helpful and patient with my questions. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

  • Brad Bauer

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.

  • Larry Byrne

Molly and her crew run a great space and everyone I met in the space was amazing. Very collaborative place to work on your car. Especially helpful in Chicago's cold weather. It was worth the trip.

  • Matthew Miller

Fantastic place to work on your car with very knowledgeable owners. They got me out of a bind when I had a bolt sheer- they were highly understanding and helpful. Couldn't recommend it more.

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!

Your gearhead work space is the best do-it-yourself automotive workshops around. Their on call professional mechanic is always able and willing to assist.
