Great! Found a crack in the boot when inspecting a new "used" car I just purchased. They replaced and repaired everything within 2 hours and I was on my way. Used them for years. Great staff; friendly and professional. They never sell you anything you don't need.

They take good care of my car needs and on those occasions that they need to keep the car, they furnish me with and Enterprise Rental. Work is done in a timely manner. I recommend their business to my friends and will continue to do business with them. Also, they will always work me in when small emergencies come up. They always let me know that my business is of value to them and I appreciate the work they do for me.

Response from GARY'S AUTO SERVICE
"[Member name removed] Thank you for the response and I'm sorry that you feel that you had a bad experience. I reviewed our records and according to them we estimated $2083.00 to replace your clutch and were billed $2093.00 The second clutch was replaced under the part manufacture warranty in the amount of $843.00, and the damage to the two suspension parts was replaced under the shops warranty for the amount of $675.00. We were not aware of any transmission leak after the repairs were completed. Again I'm sorry for your experience and please know that we strive for complete customer satisfaction. Please give me a call so we can discus this further. Thank you."

They do great work and they know what they are doing. They are expensive but you get good quality and they have a more specialized knowledge. I have been a customer with them for over 10 years now. The mechanics have all been fine especially Chuck and he is my favorite.

They are wonderful and we have been going to them for about 20 years now. The guys are all wonderful. If we call we can usually get-in in a couple of days. The mechanics are really nice and they explain things to you. If they find something else that needs fixed they will call before they do anything and fix it. We fell like we know them personally.

I work with them all the time and I depend on them and I have no complaints. I have been using them for about 5 years now. They are all certified mechanics and that is why I go to them. I really appreciate them. If my car need work and it is going to be there for a long time they will get me a  rental car free of charge from Enterprise which is a nice thing to do.

I think they are great. They are polite, efficient, and cordial. They are very business-like. They were recommended to me from a friend. The scheduling was immediate and they made the appointment for the next day. They got the job done all in one day.

Was smelling gasoline but did not know why; determine it was #2 fuel injector: also hearing popping sound when slowing down or after stops. I have been with Gary's Auto since 2000. They have kept my 1996 Chey cav running. They are a very honest group of people. I consider myself a blessed person and I was really blessed to fine Gary's. After my warranty expired so did every part on my car. The dealer was a rip off.

My '95 Chevy Monte Carlo had a radiator leaking fluid, so I took the car in.  They've been our my mechanic for probably 20 years and we trust them 110%.  They found the radiator was bad (the car has 185,000 miles & it's the original) which I figured was the problem.  However, they wanted to check to see if there was a reason the radiator was bad, so they ran a test and found the engine to be pumping out a high level of carbon, which indicated something going on in the engine that was making the car run hot.  Upon further inspection, they found the gaskets were bad.  I was offered several options:  1) get a replacement engine from a salvage lot; 2) repair this engine; 3) not get it fixed at all and look for a new car.   I knew a new car wasn't in my stars, so I asked for the price difference of the replacement engine vs. fixing mine.  After a long conversation with the owner (Mike) he said he'd price out a few replacement engines and give me a price comparison.  He got back to me the next afternoon with the prices on two different salvage engines: one with 65,000 miles for $3,222.73 with a 3 month parts-only warrantee and one with 125,000 miles for $2,821.73, with a one year parts and labor warrantee.  He said the approx. cost of fixing what was wrong with my engine was about $2,700.00.  I told him that logically, I should take a new engine, but since I didn't know how well those engines where taken care of in their previous life, I was leary of taking one of those.  I know my engine is in good shape, as I get my oil changes religiously every 3,000 miles.  I decided to keep my engine and have the repairs done.  They had my car 2 more days and called to tell me they found that the engine housing where it's bolted to the firewall had 4 of the 5 bolts sheered off, leaving only one bolt in place.  (That sounds scary to me!)  So it cost an additional $100-something for the machine shop to fix those bolts and re-attach the engine housing to the fire wall.  So my final bill was $2,975.11 after it was all said and done.  My car was in the shop one week.  Mike and Chuck (who actually worked on my car) were in constant communication with me about what was going on.  They never talk down to you because you might not know anything about cars and they don't take advantage of you because of it.  They don't sell you anything you don't need or fix anything that doesn't need to be.  They've worked with us on getting things fixed and with schedule maintenance on a schedule that met out financial needs.  We love Mike, Chuck, Ken and Nate and will ALWAYS be a loyal customer.  I highly recommend them to everyone.
