Welcome to CMI Creative Mechanix: Where Your Car Gets Treated Like Family

For over 40 years, CMI Creative Mechanix has been Palatine's trusted haven for all things automotive. We're not just another repair shop; we're your car's extended family, dedicated to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and safely for the long haul.

Think of it this way: the average car spends 11–12 years and 150,000 miles under your watchful eye. That's a lot of memories, adventures, and precious moments shared on four wheels. At CMI, we understand the emotional bond drivers have with their vehicles, and we treat every car with the same care and attention as we would our own.
