Good mechanic in north chicago

i have been to two different mechanics to fix my Trans Am. the first mechanic i went to a few times to fix pretty much the same thing and after a while he was stumped as to what was wrong. so i brought it to another place that replaced the same thing that the first guy did and the car is going south about two days later. So if anybody has suggestions on where i can bring my car would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
