The experience has always been very positive and professional .He also gives me good advice. He has worked on my car several times and always charges what I believe to be a fair expense.

He did a good job. He is wonderful. He was sharp enough to be able to find the problem. They had to wait a day for a part and it didn't take long to put in the new hose. The price was in line with other independent shops.
Description of Work: He diagnosed a problem that none of the dealerships could find. He worked on a faulty hose that was causing an exhaust leak on my 2007 Nissan Sentra.

I purchased a 1987 Dodge Ram conversion van already converted for mobile dog grooming. The van was in rough shape and had been sitting for over a year when I acquired it. I took it to Gary to get her running and help plan my new toys makeover. Gary checked her (my van) over and got her running quickly and affordably. This alone made me happy. Gary didn't stop with just fixing the van. He took an interest in what I planned to do with it. I told him I wanted to add a generator to it. He researched the best way to add one and found an affordable generator that should get me going. He recommended an auto body shop for the few rough spots on my new toy. He also recommended a company to add the part I need to affix the generator. In short, Gary not only met expectations, he exceeded them. I am thrilled to have a car doctor for my older work horse.
Description of Work: New Ignition switch and re key all four doors remove and repair carburetor including cleaning and flushing out, fixed fuel gage (remove sending unit and fix float), checked all fluids and belts.

He refuses to finish my repair and does not offer any retribution UpDate I went to my local oil change station the very next morning after being charged the exuberant amount for my ac repair and was told by mechanics there that I had a ac leak a k,and it was right below the new AC compressor that Garys Repair said I needed! When I went back to his shop with the documentation that I had AC leak,he became angry and threatened me to leave or he would harm me as he is a member of the sons of silence motorcycle club,that's when I called police to ensure my safety,he continues to have friends and relatives threaten me now
Description of Work: This man took advantage of me as a woman and did not fix or complete my ac repair,I was charged 940.00 and he refuses to finish the work,does not offer any guarantee or warranty,threatened me,as he is a sons of silence motorcycle member and told me that,I'm reporting him to better business bureau and small claims, customer beware this guy will rip you off!

Response from Gary's Auto Repair Service, Inc.
The customer couldn't afford the full repair needed to fully resolve her problem. Gary offered a temporary fix to get her to her next paycheck, when the work could be completed. He was clear that the fix was temporary and would offer her some comfort until she could have the full repair done. She was happy when she left and made an appointment for the remainder of the work. The next day she returned angry and demanding that the remaining work be completed at no additional charge. Instead of discussing her vehicles needs she chose to be combative. Customer made verbal threats as to things she would do and say if remainder of work wasn't done immediately and at no charge. As far as the motorcycle reference, this customer knows us from the charity rides we participate in and from our support of the Sun Coast Charities for Children through the Sun Coast Diva's weekly fundraisers at a motorcycle enthusiast establishment. Our goal is to create lasting relationships with our customers. Unfortunately, this was not possible with this particular person.
