TL;DR: Family run business with two brothers who have been doing this for 18+ years. They know what they are doing, and are clearly passionate about their work. These guys are as thorough, competent, and honest as anyone you can find. You really couldn't ask for better mechanics. They are definitely what you're looking for and I cannot recommend them enough. I came to Chicago out-of-state looking for a used Mercedes Sprinter Van. Found Burdi based on Google reviews and asked them if they would do some pre-purchase inspections for me. I brought them a van I was feeling good about, and even though they were clearly busy and stressed, they were friendly, patient and thorough in checking every inch of the vehicle. They really took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered, and slowed down to explain their no-nonsense thinking on every inch of their comprehensive write-up. Even though I was completely ready to seal the deal and commission their service in tightening up the used van (and they knew it!) they pressed forward with additional elective diagnosis of the engine and found subtle information which they used to warn me against buying the vehicle. They were calm and respectful in the face of a flustered, argumentative seller after that, too. That, to me, represents a business with a lot of integrity. They had me in their pocket. Superficially, their incentive was to give me the green light and get the work, the problem with the vehicle (poor compression in one of the cylinders) might not have bared its head until a year or two down the line when it would've compromised the engine. But they didn't hold it back. They gave me uncensored information that helped me make the best decision for me. It's clear to me from the experience that these guys are in business to do every job right and keep loyal customers, not to milk out every sucker who walks in the door. They definitely have my business next time I need a mechanic in Chicago.

I learned about Burdi from a promotional flyer that I received the day my MB dealership asked an exorbitant amount to change a headlight. My other option (closer to home) was closed for the holidays, so I drove 45 min to Schiller Park. And I am so happy I went! I was treated like a family member in this shop, from the owner meeting me outside as I pulled in, to a mechanic who patiently waited for me to finish my personal call to go over a full list of diagnostics that he prepared for me (free of charge, not required) to provide some thoughts on questions that I had beyond the headlight replacement. I am not even mentioning the other mechanic who replaced my headlight using a more involved but safer way, and provided options for me to ensure the best possible outcome (light colors, etc.). It goes without saying that a) all work was done within time specified (while I waited), b) the headlight replaced works beautifully, c) the price quoted over the phone was about 1/3 of the dealer's (and equal to my "other option" - I checked :), and d) - they did honor that opportune flyer. My only regret is that this place is a bit far and that I didn't find it 18 years ago when I bought my first MB! Happy New Year, Burdi!

Brought my e550 in to Carmine Burdi Motorworks since the front end was sagging (these cars are notorious for suspension problems). They replaced the front air struts and replaced the upper and lower ball joints for much less than the dealer charges. Carmine and his staff did a great job and it's been running well now for months. I highly recommend them and will gladly return in the future should the need arise.

Friendly and professional staff, Vince was very helpful and made sure I was satisfied with the work and answered all my questions. Vince and Carmine are both very attentive of their work! I am happy every time I come in for service!

These guys are the best you can find for your Mercedes Benz, Very professional and does the job very well. better than a dealer. Family owned Carmine and Vince with their dad are the nicest people.

Has to be one of the best experiences I have had at a local, independent shop. Their work is certainly as good as, if not better than, the dealer. I have nothing but great things to say about Carmine (both of them) and Vince. Extremely knowledgeable, honest, and accessible. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to properly service their vehicles. The work on both my C300 and C63 AMG - Everything from bodywork, service, and repair - great 1 stop shop!! Grateful to have found them. Thanks again for everything.

I have known Carmine SR. And Carmine JR for over 15 years now. They are good technicians. Both of them are polite and caring. They will fix your car at reasonable cost unlike those dealers. Communication is great and they will keep your car there free of charge until they fix it.

Very professional, courteous and reasonable value added service. Been going there for 40 years now after my new car warranty expired they're just fantastic they were little bit League on my transmission and when I went to the dealer they quoted me $2,900 and burdi Motorworks said it's really not much big of a deal you can drive for another 10 years and then we will see and this was 4 years ago and I've been using them since then
