A family business built on quality workmanship, honest service, and the kind of trust you can only earn one repair at a time.
In 1993, Peter Torres' father opened a modest fuel service station with just two bays on South Kedzie Avenue. It was a simple promise: do good work, charge fairly, and treat people right.
That promise resonated. Peter grew up in that shop, sweeping floors as a boy, learning the trade hands-on, and eventually stepping into ownership with both deep technical skill and real business acumen. Today, Pete's Auto Service spans two buildings, nine lifts, and six service bays, caring for everything from vintage classics to modern hybrids.
Through every bit of that growth, the shop has stayed exactly what it started as: a family-owned, family-run business where your vehicle is treated as if it were our own.
