About J and A Auto Repair
Your trusted European vehicle specialists in North Center Chicago since 2010
Our Story
Founded in 2010 by automotive enthusiasts John and Antonio, J and A Auto Repair began as a small neighborhood shop with a big vision: to provide honest, reliable auto repair services to the North Center and Uptown Chicago communities.
What started as a passion for European vehicles has grown into one of Chicago's most trusted auto repair shops. We specialize in European makes including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo, but we service all makes and models with the same dedication to quality.
Located in the heart of North Center at 4008 N Ravenswood Ave, we've been serving the 60613 zip code and surrounding areas including Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, and Uptown for over a decade. Our commitment to the community goes beyond just fixing cars – we're your neighbors, and we treat every vehicle like it belongs to family.
