Dear Diana and George,
Words cannot express the sympathy I feel with the loss of Michael. Our families, for better or worse entwined for more then 35 years. Michael was always so sweet, kind, thoughtful, bright. When he was younger, a bit shy but when he did open up it was like watching rays of sunshine break through on rainy and cloudy day. He had that way of making things just that much brighter when he was in your life.
He leaves behind a legacy of his life. In his daughters, Heather and Jenny, he will still be with you. In his sisters Lana and Karen, he will stay alive, just as Jeffrey does. The memories Lynette, Teresa, and Lauren have will also keep him alive in your hearts.
His loving neices and nephews will also be a testament to a young man much loved and taken away all to soon.
Michael is with Jeffrey now, and watching over everyone. Still loving everyone and encouraging them as he did when he was here.
Hold on to the memories and all of the good times. There will come a time when it doesn't hurt to remember. I will keep all of you in my prayers and thoughts.
God bless
Claire

Really knew Mike only as "my mechanic", not personally. Still, to have met him was to have seen an honest, fair, friendly person. This gentleman knew right from wrong, and it was more than evident in the way he ran his business. There are FAR too few in that line of work that are good. The world needs more people like Mike.

I meet Mike years ago thru Tex. At the time, I put auto mechanics in the same category I put car salesmen and lawyers, they can't be trusted. Tex assured me Mike was different. I didn't really believe it, but when I had car problems I decided to give Mike a try. What immediately impressed me about Mike was his way of putting you at ease. I like most people, would be upset when my car needed repair. I was concerned about the cost, inconvenience and amount of time it would take to finally get repaired. Mike told me, "Don't worry we'll take care of it", and he did. I started to take my car in whenever I had a problem and always Mike would put me at ease and resolve the problem quickly, accurately and less expensively than anyone else. Soon there after we became friends and began to hang out. Mike would invite me to join him and others for different activities such as car races, golfing, and our annual paintball event. Mike also joined my Kickboxing class and would occasionly train in the martial arts in my basement. Mike and the mechanics as some of us like to say were obviously into cars. To me a car was just a mode of transporation and not much more. I didn't feel I really fit into the group of car guys but we still had fun together. I always thought Mike loved cars more than anything. One time I had problems with my truck. Mike had some difficulties solving the problem and decided to lend me his car while he tested my truck. Mike's car was much better than my truck and I was shocked and honored that he would lend me such a nice vehicle. I never saw Mike upset at anything. He was always so composed and confident. When someone hit Mike's car while I was driving, I thought Mike was going to blow a gasket (car talk). I was so upset that Mike entrusted me with the use of his car and now it was damaged. To my surprise, Mike was still cool. He wanted to make sure I was alright and told me, "Don't worry about it, it's just a car." I was shocked, because that is how I felt about cars. Mike ordered a new bumper the same day and got a check from the other guy's insurance.

Mike truly liked working on cars, but he loved people. He had a gift for being able to talk to everyone. A few months ago, he and I were driving together and talked about dealing with difficult people. Mike said most people just need time to cool off. "Give them some space and time and they will come back around." Mike had an innate ability to understand things some people spend a lifetime and still never realize. Mike's life was way too short, but he did live it to the fullest. I am glad I met him and had the opportunity to become one of his many friends. He will be greatly missed.

I met Mike about 11 years ago when he brought his daughter Heather to my karate class in Wheeling. She was 5 years old at the time. After about 7 or 8 classes Heather was excelling in all aspects of my class. Upon seeing her lay waste to pretty much all the students in her class, I asked Mike if she had been in a class somewhere else and he said she had not. I knew she was going to be a great student. I was able to convince Mike to start taking class with her as well. That is when my friendship with Mike had started. After class one night Mike told me he owned an auto repair shop in Palatine that he had bought recently from his cousin and that he had changed the name from Shannon’s to Expert Auto Repair. After bringing my car to him for some work and getting to know him a little better, I asked if he would be interested in a trade. I teach him karate, and he could teach me auto repair. He agreed and I showed up for work. The first car he put me to work on was a 1969 Firebird convertible that needed engine work. Mike showed me where his tools were and then said to take the engine out. As he started to walk away I said, “Wait Mike! How?” I barely knew how to do a brake job at the time and had never even seen an engine pulled out. Mike said, “ Just keep taking things off until we can pull it out” Then he walked away again. I did finally get that engine out after struggling for a few hours, but with his guidance it didn’t seem like all that big a deal afterwards. Mike always took things in stride. Whether it was a big job at the shop, an upset customer, or one of us freaking out at a car that was “kicking our butt”. He very rarely lost his composure. His patience seemed to be endless. No matter how many times I would bug him with questions he always made time. It was that way with his kindness as well. “I treat all my customers like my grandma,” he used to say. That was how he ran his business. That’s what made him successful as well. We didn’t have customers that were friends, we had friends that were customers.

Knowing Mike has changed me forever. I don’t know how to put that into the right words or how to say thank you for that. I am a better person than I was when I first met him. He was my boss, my student, and my best friend. He was also someone I admired greatly and strive to be like in many ways. He gave me so many gifts over the years that I am so thankful for. Many paintball outings. Going out shooting sporting clays. Watching you Heather learn karate together. Going to the Tropicana 400 out in Joliet only to discover at the gate Mike forgot the tickets in Palatine. (Thanks buddy!) Running for our lives at the Indianapolis 500 when multiple tornados touched down. Driving to Minnesota with me for Car Craft Nationals and his bachelor party. Helping me cut the roof off my car because it was so rusted, and waiting until he was just about to cut all the way through to tell me he had never done that before! Letting me help him for 3 years as we restored his 69 Chevelle convertible only to paint it the worst poop-brown color he could find. (Yes Mike, I am still upset about that.)

He is my family and my heart is broken at the thought of not making more memories with him. But I am thankful for the ones I do have. I am thankful and honored that he referred to me once as his family. I am thankful that just being around him made me a better person. As I write this it does not feel like the words are enough but, thank you Mike, I love you, and I will always be grateful for having known you and for the gift of you, which you gave so freely. Thank you.

Your Friend,

Karen Pyka

The tears will never cease for such a great loss... I've known Mike for several years and he has invested many hours in repairs on my truck - Mike was the most kindest, warmest, honest person you could ever meet. I have been devastated since hearing of this horrific accident. Mike will always be in my heart and mind - the only comfort I have now is in knowing that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" Mike's kindness, caring, honesty and expertiese will forever be missed and never be forgotten!With the greatest love... my sincerest prayers and condolences go out to Mike's beautiful daughters, new wife and precious parents, extended family and friends. God Bless... forever in my heart! If there is ever anything we can do help ease this sorrow or be of help to Mike's family, please do not hesitate to contact Rick (the dear friend who sold Mike the Camaro) or myself. You meant the world to us Mike and we will never forget your kindness and warm wonderful personality!

I knew Mike from the Honda dealer we worked at. He would play hand ball in the service drive, cause he worked the midnight shift. He had many regular customers, that always looked forward to seeing him. All the office girls thought he was a hunk. He had such an even temper and calm personality that made people draw to him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I met Mike a few years ago, through one of his employees Tim. I did not know Mike that well, but well enough to know I will never forget hearing the news that day. I still can not believe that this is something that has really happened. I have lost many family members in my past including both Parents. So my heart and prayers go out to his wife, children, and many family members and friends. He will always be with you! All I can think of is seeing Mike the Friday before, and him still saying hello even though he was in the room for just a few moments. He would always help me with what I needed done on my car. Even though it may have been because of my friendship with Tim, he still did not have to allow me to make payments when the bill was more then I could afford at the time. The few times I had long conversations with him, Tim, and Bill about things is something I will remember him by. They were not even always about cars. It could be about sports, cards, or even just making fun of Bill and Tim. He did not make me feel like I was just a friend of Tim’s that was there. I know he will live on in the hearts of all his friends and especially his family. Again my prayers are with you all. Good-bye Mike!

To Mike:

Your impact on my life is more profound then anyone will ever know. I have looked up to you for over 12 years, and I hope to someday be as good a man as you are. I liked being around you- it always made me feel better, even when I already felt great. I have seen you when you were frustrated- you applied the same systematic approach to dealing with it as you would to auto repair, even if it had nothing to do with a car. You were not always right, but you had the selflessness to know when that was and to call yourself on it and make it right. You are my friend, and I love you. Thank you for every moment that I shared with you; I will relish them all. I will think of you daily and I will visit often. I will do whatever is in my power to look after your family and try to make you proud. In recent years I was able to work for you, and you made feel like a partner even though I was not. You made me better then I was before I met you. I am forever in your debt and look forward to running your auto shop in the heavens with you when my time is called.

My family and I will miss Mike terribly. He was a friend, a boss, like a brother to me and I had recently asked him to give me away at my wedding in September. It's hard for me to think of going to work and not hearing Mike tease me about being 5 minutes late or hearing his advice about my "wedding plans". He was such a giving and honest man and taught me how to treat customers with respect and also listen to customer's problems without being judgmental. He always teased me that my degree in psychology fit in very well at Expert Auto Repair. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Beth, Susie, Jenny, and Heather. Mike will never be forgotten and has left a wonderful mark in many people's lives. We are always here for you whatever the need may be.

Mike was a great mechanic and an honest businessman. He never steered us wrong on our many cars he serviced over the years. Mike loved his work and truly was an "Expert." Mike made the nusiance of car trouble tolerable because his work was prompt, efficient and complete. We were always confident that the work was done right and at a fair price. Mike's integrity was always a part of every job he did for us. We are so sad that he is gone. He will be greatly missed.

My husband and I moved from the area 6 years ago, but he reminded me that Mike had not only worked on our cars, but attended a SuperBowl party at our home. Words & wishes cannot take away your grief, but please know the thoughts and prayers of many are with you, today & always. May God hold Mike in the palm of His hand, and bless your family in this time of sadness.

It's unbelieveable that Mike is gone. It's such a terrible tragedy. We're still not fully processing that he won't be there. We've known him for about seven years and he's been the example of helpfulness & honest business. All our interactions and dealings with him were so positive, and he was always there to help with the most difficult of problems. Really a great person to have known and we relied on him for a lot. Our deepest sympathies to Beth, and the family. George & Kathy Kiebala and the staff at Exotic Car Share

The loss of Michael Kipnis will be felt by many. I met Mike through my husband about 5 years ago. I have never met a more friendly, honest, truthful, and trusting mechanic in my entire life. His passion and love for cars was very admirable. He just recently saved our Tahoe from being junked by building us a new transmission. Not only was he our mechanic, but he became our friend. Although he will be missed by many, remember what an inspiring man he was and celebrate his life and the fact that we all had the opportunity to share life with him and know such a great man. He will never be forgotten. Our condolences to his family and all of his friends. May you all find comfort and peace in your hearts knowing that he is with God now and will always be looking down on us and will be our guardian angel. God Bless all of you.

We will miss Mike very much. He was a wonderful man and his smile lit up the room! He lived by us in Tahoe Village in Wheeling when Heather and Jennifer were younger. He was our mechanic since he opened the shop. Many times he would fix little things on our cars and when we go to pay him, he said wouldn't charge us. My oldest daughter even bought her first car from Mike when she was in college. There isn't enough room on this page to express our feelings about Mike. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

We were so sorry to hear about Mike this week. We were customers of Mikes in the past. He was an honest, fair and friendly person. My fondest memories are of Mike being a help to the young guys in the neighborhood, when they had questions about their cars, Mike was always patient and helpful. I know he will be missed by many. Our prayers are with his family.

My deepest sympathy to Mike's family. Multiple times I left one of my cars, or one of my kid's cars in the lot at night with a note. Mike always got them going within our budget - or would honestly say a car still needed more work but it was our choice to add the extra expense. He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy for Mike's family.

Words cannot express my sadness over Mike’s death. He was such an honest and giving man. For the past 7 years I was just a customer of Expert Auto. He has worked on all 4 of my cars. As a single mom and someone with limited funds and mechanical knowledge, it is difficult to find someone to trust. Mike was an answer to prayer. He would patiently explain what my car would need and the order in which to have the repairs done according to make the car safe and fit my budget. Sometimes I would have to space the repairs out over 6 months. Mike always worked with me to find the best deal. Mike would even tell me honestly when it was time to give up on the car. With one car, he recognized that it should have still been under warranty even after he did the diagnostic part with no charge he advised me to go back to the dealership. Furthermore after the dealership messed up, Mike personally called them on my behalf and told them what needed to be done. There were several times he would throw in services at no charge. Just last week, he gave my daughter a third tire after buying two and last Saturday, he let me use the company van to do my errands, while he worked on my car. I have story after story how Mike demonstrated fairness, honesty and integrity. If he treated me this way, I know he treated others the same. I know he went out of his way to be helpful. So to the Kipnis family: Be proud of the kind of man he was and that he touched so many people lives with his integrity. May you find God’s peace and comfort in your lives as your heart heals of this great loss. He will be greatly missed.

January 21, 2007

Our hearts and prayers go out to Mike's entire family. Mike was a very honest and dedicated person. Our manager whom has know Mike for several years introduced Mike to us this past year. Mike was our first customer and had confidence in us when others turned away. When we needed Mike's help he was there and didn't let us down. We had bought a truck from NJ and drove it back and parked it Mike's lot, when he came in he could not beleive what he was seeing at the time it was a disaster and he was shocked it made it all the way from NJ. Not once did Mike turn away when others would have said get that thing out of here instead with alot of hard work Mike and his team of mechanics got the truck to run like brand new it was amazing I could not even beleive it was the same truck we had dropped off. No matter what time of the day or night I spoke to Mike or our drivers seen Mike he was always happy. The hardest part was knowing what was happening on Thursday and not being able to help him not knowing what to do and sitting for hours wondering what the outcome would be. Well the outcome was one we didn't want to beleive and still wish it was not true. We will always remember Mike for always being honest, happy and always being right there when anyone needed him, and for always knowing the right thing to say in any situation. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Mike's entire family. Mike will always be right there with you in spirit.

I met Mike about 10 yrs. ago through a friend in the towing business I also owned a towing co. out of hoffman estates and was looking for a place in palatine to bring vehicles to that had an honest business practice and I found that in Mike. His honest straight forward approach will be missed by many. I wish his family the best in this very hard time.

I have known Mike for about 10 years. I was introduced to him by a friend who worked with him many years ago. I kept going back to Mike for even the most minor thing wrong with my car. He worked on every car I ever owned (5) as well as both of my mother's cars. He knew everything and anything about cars, and if he diddn't know-he would figure it out fast! He went of his way for the little people-he wasn't in it for the money or to rip people off, he did it for the love he had for working on cars. I can't even count the number of times he wouldn't charge me labor, or gave me a discount because he knew I didn't have a lot of money-or how many times he stayed late to work on my car. He was freindly and always had a smile on his face. He was apart of the Palatine community, always willing to help out whereever he could. I am a member of the Palatine Jaycees and he donated to us several times to help with our community projects. I will always remember him and how he cared about every single customer that walked through his door. For those of you who went to him for your car needs or knew him well you will know what I am talking about when I say, Everytime I open a door and hear a bell ring, I will think of Mike, standing behind his desk smiling at me and saying "What's wrong with your car this time." The people that went to him weren't just his customers, they became his friends and he will be missed dearly.

We will all miss him and remember the wonderful person and businessman he was.
