APM Tuned (elmhurst IL)
I had my first dealings with APM yesterday and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. The owner, Mark, was very helpful before I came in with answering all my questions and giving me suggestions to save me money. They have a smaller sized shop with a nice waiting area and are very flexible with scheduling. The best part is that the main mechanic is very diligent and knowledgable. They eneded up catching a steering rack issue and helped me source the parts for the best price.
I had new group n mounts installed along with a killer b oil pickup and I think the install time was about 2.5-3hrs. Very convenient + friendly people + quick service + best price around($75 per hr) = my new shop to get my STI work done.

I had some other dealings with APM this past week. Some of the used/rebuild steering parts needed to get replaced and the guys at APM fit me into there schedule and had the rack swapped out. They cut me a nice deal on the labor and even wanted me to drive it for a few days before i paid them to make sure it corrected the issues I had. Another positive transaction

Hey everyone - I needed a new clutch and flywheel on my 2003 WRX. I had the parts already. Called APM to get a quote for install (very competitive quote) and made an appt. for Saturday Nov 2nd. Got there right around 9am and they we're ready to start on it. I was driving home by 1:30pm. Glad I found out about these guys. Next time I need something I will be going there.

Spent a lot of time talking to shops, getting prices, reading reviews, and talking to people before letting anyone work on the spec.B. I just picked it up from APM today, and am quite pleased.
All of the work appears to have been done properly -- and I'm very picky about things being done "right". Everything feels good and tight, and nothing looks questionable/sloppy. The way it should be. Their pricing was very upfront and honest -- Mark broke down everything in the manner I asked (a lot of shops wouldn't do this, so you have no idea why they are charging what they are). On top of that their prices were better than others on almost everything, and even where not better. I actually intentionally and accidentally left out a couple of bits of important information, they caught all of it and let me know in a professional/helpful manner. Thanks guys. I'll have more work for you in the future. |

I'll be the first to say that APM has been absolutely fantastic with the work they have done for me. I'm sure most people on here would go to APM for engine work/tuning/suspension etc but I dealt with APM for insurance work.
I was rear ended, and a couple weeks after that, discount tire messed up my front bumper taking my car off the lift. I went straight to Mark in both instances and I thought I would have to deal with both insurance companies calling back and forth, sending quotes, the whole nine yards. Mark went above and beyond and kept in contact with them throughout the whole process, and fought to get my money for my bumpers as quick as he could. Of course that would be too easy and the insurance company for the rear bumper didn't want to pay the full amount. I told Mark I would just end up paying cash to cover the difference and he did everything he could to get my price as low as possible. If that's not working for the customer and insuring 100% satisfaction, then I don't know what is. I also had them install the GT Spec D steering wheel which came out perfect. If you have anything you need/want for your car I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go to APM. They treat you like an old friend every time you step in the door, the prices are fantastic, and the work quality is top notch. As long as I'm driving I will be an APM customer, and will recommend the shop to anyone I come across. Thanks again Mark, for all the help. |

Review of APM Racing in Elmhurst
If you are in need car work done, are wanting to have parts installed, fabrication, tuning, or general maintenance look no further. I was referred to Mark @ APM Racing by Phil @ Flat 4 Motorsport after I told him about my frustration with the other shops in the area (e.g., felt like other shops in Chicagoland were exaggerating installation times and they were just out to make a buck). Phil told me that Mark/APM would take care of me and he was absolutely right, thank you again Phil. Long story short, I ended up doing a 6 Speed STI / Bembo swap with APM Racing. In addition to the swap I had the following added: Bigger Turbo Turbo Inlet Hose Injectors Fuel Pump Lightened Crank Pulley Coilovers EBCS Downpipe TMIC 90k Service Tune I couldn't be happier with the service along the way and the outcome, absolutely fantastic. One of the best things about APM is that they will build you an amazing car but they won't just recommend parts or service if you don't actually need them or they feel it will make your car unreliable. There were multiple times I asked Mark if I should buy an addition part and although he would have made more money for his shop, he either recommended that I go another route or just not add that part altogether (how often does this happen?, never in my experience until my dealings with APM). You will not find better service in Chicagoland (I am convinced) and the pricing will not be matched (APM's pricing was about half as much as others I priced before moving forward with the work). If you are within driving distance you owe it to yourself to contact Mark @ APM. Thank you again Mark and all of the other guys at APM. |

Took 2 of my cars into APM today. Exhaust leak on my 02 Outback was fixed up nicely. On my 03 WRX Wagon I had my Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft installed, got my bumper tightened up with some new clips and a new Air Box Installed. APM is the place to go for your cars everyone ! APM is very fair with their prices and very honest. The Best Shop in Chicagoland !
