I love their communication and their professionalism. They had worked previously on my Beatle pick-up and did a fantastic job. What I liked about them is that they would call me every day and tell me what they did, what they planned on doing and what they found. The communication is unlike anything I had ever seen before. It is really good. They are probably the cheapest guy in town, but I know for a fact that, when I walk out of the door, it has been fixed right. We had an issue one time with a part that had fallen off and they replaced it.

Description of Work: I asked for a diagnostic on a 'service air bag' warning on my 2009 Tahoe LTZ. They were able to trace the problem back to a faulty front impact sensor which would have been difficult for me to diagnose myself. I was able to purchase the sensor online for $50 and install in about 30 minutes. Also, they noted that I had a sheared bolt on my driver side strut. I appreciated that note and was able to replace/repair that for $1.25. They wanted to charge me $400 to do the repair (not sure if it included the bolt replacement too) but that was a little unnecessary.

One component, a valve related to charging the system, failed. This required getting a replacement from a distributor in Reno, which was expedited overnight. Gaynor's immediately offerred to arrange a rental car since this delayed the predicted completion in one day. Over the past two years, I have gone into Gaynor's openly expressing that I anticipated more major work and costs, and they have consistently resolved the issues with far less expense on what was actually needed. After getting some recent recommendations from a local GM dealer, Gaynor's cut the list in half, several being totally unnecessary or unwarranted.
Description of Work: Have been going to Gaynor's Automotive in Hazel Dell for about two years. In this instance, our recently-acquired 2007 Chevy Tahoe's air conditioner failed (compressor/etc.) requiring a complete system replacement. Gaynor's generally provides a 36,000 mile warranty on all of their service. In this instance, they matched the lifetime warranty of the replacement parts, all original (factory) equipment.

I left my truck with Gaynor's on March 22, 2010 for the day. I went that evening to pick it up and paid as normal. I drove it home that night and found that my coat and a ski sweater were ruined. They both had a dirty filthy grime on them. I had stopped off at Home Depot so I thought I must have leaned up against something there. The next day I went to work and came home. Once again, at home I noticed that I had wrecked another rain coat and fleece shirt. Then, I realized that it was my truck's seat belt that was wrecking my clothes. Obviously, the Gaynor employees had not taken precautions to keep my seat belt clean. Thus, their lack of professional courtesy left me with 2 ruined coats, a ruined ski sweater, and a ruined fleece shirt. In summary, I have taken numerous vehicles in for oil changes over the years and I have never had such a filty job done. The actual work may have only cost $149.58, but my wrecked clothes were another $500.00 or so. I just want to let other folks know about this.
Description of Work: For my 1999 Dodge diesel 2500, Gaynor's changed my oil and oil filter, changed a light bulb, installed new wiper blades, and charged me a $10.24 shop and environmental fee.

THEIR WORK IS GOOD (BOTH UPTOWN LOCATIONS), BUT EXPENSIVE. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR EVERY DIAGNOSIS (MIN OF $50), FOR EVERY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT (SAME), AND MORE THAN AVERAGE FOR EACH JOB.
Description of Work: LONGTIME CUSTOMER OF GAYNOR'S, BUT I'LL ONLY GO BACK IF I'M DESPERATE. WHY? I FOUND THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO OTHER SHOPS. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY CHARGED ME $51 TO DIAGNOSE A LEAKY RADIATOR HOSE, AND ANOTHER $300 TO REPLACE 2 HOSES. I WOUND UP TAKING IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHICH CHARGED LESS THAN HALF (AND THEY HAD A FREE DIAGNOSIS). PREVIOUSLY, THEY REPLACED MY TIMING BELT, AT A COST OF OVER $700, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST $200 LESS. THEIR WORK IS FINE, AND LIKE ANOTHER STATED, THEY WILL BACK IT UP (LIKE EVERYONE, THEY DO SCREW UP FROM TIME TO TIME). BUT THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, SO IT PAYS TO COMPARE THEM TO OTHERS.
