Your Neighborhood Source For Reliable Auto Repair Since 1982

Founded in 1982 by Ted Geropoulos, Ted’s Auto Clinic has been a trusted fixture in Chicago’s automotive community for over 40 years. Ted was a seasoned mechanic who believed in doing things the right way—with skill, honesty, and a genuine concern for his customers’ safety. He opened the shop with one simple mission: to provide high-quality auto repairs with integrity, so customers could feel confident every time they got behind the wheel. That vision, rooted in respect and transparency, quickly earned him a loyal following.

The original shop was a modest two-bay garage, but it was always full of life—whether it was neighbors dropping by for a quick check-up, or Ted taking time to explain repairs in plain terms. Word spread quickly, and by 1992, it became clear the growing demand required more space. Ted’s expanded into a larger, state-of-the-art facility in the same location where it all began. The new facility allowed the shop to serve more customers and take on more complex repairs, without losing the personal service and family-first approach that made the business special.

In 2018, Ted proudly passed the torch to his sons, Chris and George, both of whom grew up in the shop learning the trade at their father’s side. With the same passion for cars and commitment to integrity, Chris and George now lead the business into the next generation—bringing a modern edge to operations while never compromising on the values their father instilled. They continue to invest in cutting-edge diagnostic tools and ongoing training to ensure every technician delivers the highest level of care.

Today, Ted’s Auto Clinic remains a proud, family-owned and operated business serving generations of Chicago drivers. Our team of expert technicians is dedicated to delivering the same honest, reliable service that has earned us countless five-star reviews and lifelong customers. Whether you’re coming in for routine maintenance or a major repair, you can trust that you’ll be treated like family—just as Ted always intended.
