History & Business Philosophy

Founded in the 1920s by the Duxler family, Duxler has been owned and operated by the Moak family since 1982. Duxler is a leader on the North Shore when it comes to quality auto care - and it's one of the most capable businesses of its type anywhere in Illinois.

Duxler is one of the largest auto repair facilities on the North Shore, employing a large staff of knowledgeable and friendly service advisors and technicians. Quality service combined with name brand tires and parts put Duxler in a league of our own. No matter what you drive - an import or domestic, car, truck, SUV, or van, Duxler has the highly trained staff and modern diagnostic tools to repair your vehicle right the first time, and on time. In fact, the majority of all cars entering a Duxler facility leave the very same day.

When selecting Duxler, you can be confident knowing that your car is in the hands of exceptionally trained individuals. We take pride in our investment toward the continual education of our employees and the acquisition of the most advanced equipment and diagnostic tools available. Additionally, most of our mechanics are ASE certified. (National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence). In fact, our technicians and service advisors have a combined total of 385 years of Duxler experience — all with one thing in mind: Your satisfaction.

Since 2006, Duxler Complete Auto Care has consistently earned the Better Business Bureau's Complaint Free Award . Duxler is recognized for superior performance in the area of ethical business practices and a commitment to total customer satisfaction. It's just another reason that our tagline resonates so well — “one visit and you'll only trust your car to us.”

For over 25 years, Duxler has had its customers in mind. Our facilities feature a free local shuttle, free wi-fi, clean and comfortable waiting rooms, current magazines, fresh coffee, the daily paper, and a children's play area. In addition, Duxler continually serves the community through participation in many charitable events, local school extra-curricular underwriting, and contributing to local community service.

Glenn Moak and his son Brian, owners of Duxler Complete Auto Care Centers, believe in a strong sense of community. Duxler is proud to support many organizations in the North Shore community. Duxler Complete Auto Care is a sponsor of school newsletters, local art festivals, local not-for-profits, and local little league teams. Duxler is also a member of the Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Northbrook and DBR Chambers of Commerce, Rotary International, the Chicago Area Gay & Lesbian Chamber, the Walter Payton Society, and a corporate partner to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO).

This way you can always count on the service advisor you are working with to recommend exactly what you need — and nothing more.
