My car was there Friday to Friday and the technicians sent me constant updates with pictures even videos through out the course of the work being done. Kevin was pleasant to deal with and communicative from before I got there to make my first appointment all the way until I picked my vehicle up when it was done. He was especially helpful with working with my work schedule being that I work until late at night well after they close. Will be coming back for any other work I need done to my car if needed. Thank you guys.

They convinced me to do a recharge though I knew there was blockage.

I know next to nothing about cars and Travis and his colleague were so patient with my amateurish questions about engine oil and transparent about costs, even gave me tips on what to pay attention to with my car. I used to go exclusively to the dealership to get my car serviced due to the number of recalls I had to deal with simultaneously but will now see about going to these guys for regular maintenance.

I've brought…read morethem some very strange issues that other shops were unable to diagnose and they've never failed me and have always been honest and gotten the job done right. I've had everything from small jobs (check engine lights, pulleys) to diagnosing and replacing the transfer case on my truck (they found me a great deal on a used transfer case that has been working great for almost 10 years!). I once had the pleasure of getting a ride back to the shop to pick up my car from the owner and he seems like a genuinely good person and seemed to really care about taking care of his employees and customers. This week, I called them because I was desperate to find someone to reseal a leaking window on my van. They talked through it with me, and since they aren't an autobody / glass shop they referred me to Big Rig Glass who did a fantastic job. They've referred me to other shops in the past for specialty work and it has always worked out great.

If I could give 0 stars, I would!…read more I first went to Gary's to have my thermostat replaced back in May 2024. About a month ago, my car's engine began overheating again. Now thermostats are suppose to last around 10 years average, but the one I had installed was less than two years old. Since it was still under warranty, I took my car back to Gary's to have it looked at. They later told me that they ran some "heat test" and determined that the thermostat was fine, that the water pump was the problem. This was a LIE, as I had the water pump replaced last summer, it was practically still new! They had also LIED to me about the thermostat - which was indeed the problem. But they never actually inspected it. I had to have somebody else take out that cheap, faulty thermostat and replace it with a new better quality one. The one that Gary's put in was a cheap part that got a piece of plastic caught in it, preventing it from moving. It simply failed, YEARS before it otherwise should have. And Gary's would have known this, had they actually did a tear down and removed the part to inspect it. In other words, THEIR JOB. Instead, they lied to me and "recommended" I have my well-operating water pump replaced... which they would do for $839! So ultimately, I ended up having to pay a COMPETENT, trustworthy, non-thieving mechanic to fix Gary's f### up. Stir clear of this place, they are thieves who will put cheap defective parts in your vehicle! They will LIE right to your face and tell you that something else is the problem, when it isn't! This is EXACTLY the reason why people are soo wary of auto shops!
