Morelo's Auto Service

About Us

Since opening our doors in 2002, Morelo’s Auto Service has been dedicated to delivering honest, dependable automotive care to the Waukegan, Gurnee, Zion, Grayslake, and surrounding communities. What began as a small neighborhood shop has grown into a full-service, six-car garage equipped with modern tools, advanced diagnostics, and a team of highly experienced, professional mechanics who take pride in their craftsmanship.

From day one, our mission has been simple: provide high-quality work for the local community and treat every vehicle as if it were our own. Whether you need brake repair, oil changes, transmission or engine diagnostics, or routine maintenance, we are committed to getting the job done right the first time—safely, thoroughly, and with full transparency.

We understand that life doesn’t stop when your car needs service. That’s why we offer convenient drop-off appointments, and if your vehicle needs to stay with us for more than two days, we provide loaner cars to keep you moving without interruption.

At Morelo’s Auto Service, great customer care is at the heart of everything we do. For over 20 years, families across the area have trusted us for reliable repairs, honest advice, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their vehicle is in capable hands. Call us today at 847-263-1899 and experience the Morelo’s difference—where quality work and community values always come first.
