Brought my 2022 Mazda 3 in for a brake inspection due to a humming noise when lightly braking. Paid $120 for the inspection. The technician's written assessment: "Brakes are 50% life." When I asked for specific measurements, he said all four pads are at 6mm. By industry standards, 6mm pads have 1.5-2 years of life remaining and do not need replacement. Despite this, the verbal recommendation was to replace all 4 pads and 2 rotors for $440. When I asked how long I could continue driving, the answer was vague: "1 to 5 months depending on driving style." The claim that "all four pads are at 6mm" doesn't make physical sense. Front brakes carry 60-70% of braking force and typically wear about twice as fast as rear brakes. On a 2022 Mazda 3 with 51,000 miles, front pads should be noticeably thinner than rear pads, about a 2-3mm difference is normal. "All around 6mm" would require front and rear to wear at the exact same rate, which contradicts basic vehicle physics. This makes me suspect the inspection wasn't actually performed with proper measurements. There's no indication the wheels were removed, and the technician offered the same number for all four positions when asked. read more

My car battery was slowly dying and I didn't want to be charged an arm and a leg to get it changed.

Of course I went to help and found G&B Auto Repair to see if they would be able to install a third party battery. Just my luck! They not only were able to remove and install but had the diagnostic scanner to ensure proper charging qnd system performance! The installation was quick and was fairly priced.

G&B Auto Repair - Picking up my baby from the shop - Auto Repair Near Me - San Gabriel, California

First off, Gerson is the absolute man! I've been coming here for two years and this is the best local mechanic shop I've had anywhere across the country. They're dependable, trustworthy and always give you multiple options based on cost. Gerson really looks out for you and he's saved me money along the way. When an expensive repair comes around they work with me to find ways to keep the overall cost down, such as taking the time to machine existing parts rather than buying expensive replacements. 10/10, best local mechanic. I'll be sad whenever I move somewhere else because it really is hard to find a trustworthy auto mechanic local to you. read more

Great, amazing and fast service. Blew out my front tire and they got me a new one right on time. Dropped it off at 8 am and got my car around 12. These guys know what they are doing. They also made sure everything under my car was good too. Just got a couple of scraps but nothing to serious. Definitely gonna be my go to auto shop when I'm in the 626 area.

G&B Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - San Gabriel, California

See all

Car randomly died and was going to leave me stranded in Temple City, 30 miles from home or where I needed to be. Found G&B because they had all 5 star reviews. Gerson was as nice and helpful as the other reviews say he is. He got me back on the road the same day replacing my alternator. Thanks again! read more

I love this place. Gerson is amazingly. Friendly knows what he is doing and will always tell you the truth. That is hard to find these days in a body shop. I highly recommend this place. Took my dads truck in for a minor repair and he fixed the problem. Thanks Gerson! read more

CUSTOMER BEWARE: I found this place probably like most of you.. the reviews seemed good and all seemed well. I called and they didn't even ask me any questions over the phone . They didn't ask me absolutely anything about my car. Didn't ask what the make and model was, what year it was, absolutely no further questions about my issues. Nothing. Didn't even ask me for my name. Just told me 10am the next day. I dropped my car off the next day, and same thing. The only thing extra they asked for was my name. 2 hours later they call back with an insane quote for just an air filter and spark plugs. Total was over $1000! I said absolutely no way I'll come and pick my car up. He said ok but you have to pay a $180 inspection fee. Note that this was NEVER mentioned over the phone in person or in paper work! Nothing! I didn't sign a single thing so why am I being told only after the inspection? Some places charge and some don't, but there's ALWAYS paper work involved. I should have called the cops right there and then. I was already insulted by the insane prices. Seriously beware of this place they'll try to upcharge you with insane labor costs and try to con you with petty charges for minimal work. A business needs to deal in paperwork. The whole experience seemed sketchy and under the table. AVOID!!! read more

This was what my friend experienced and had to say: "I needed to get an oil change. Currently G&B Auto Repair are taking appointments. However I had a conflicted schedule, so Gerson (I assumed is the boss) said that I can come in whenever and that he would take care of me. This was such a relief. He was able to change my oil but noticed that one of my car axles broke down and was leaking out grease. Luckily he was able to get the parts within last minute and had my car fixed. But what made this experience even greater was that Gerson changed my brake pads for free without me knowing. I mentioned earlier to him about my brakes making a slight noise. But since I was already putting out money for the oil change and axle replacement, I was intending to put my brakes off for another time. Gerson had to leave, so his staff finished attending to me. It was the staff that actually informed me about this kind gesture. This showed you that Gerson is someone who is willing to help others without needing the recognition. Overall, I enjoyed this first time experience at this location. Prices were affordable, staff was kind, and Gerson was willing to answer any questions as well as try to educate me on some Mechanics 101. As a woman, I was worried if I would be taken advantage like how other dealers or car repair shops would do. But Gerson was welcoming and did not try to pressure. Thank you G&B Auto Repair!" read more

I had my car repaired for the first time at G&B Auto Repair. Gerson was super nice, honest, and trustworthy. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed the car. The quality of his work is superb, and the price is very reasonable. I would definitely have my next car repair at G&B. read more

I have driven by this place probably a 1000 times and never thought about having my car serviced there. I needed a close repair shop to get my brakes done so I opened up my Yelp app and found this gem. The reviews were very good so I gave them a call and asked if they could do my brakes. It only took them a few hours to complete the great job they did. I'm very satisfied with the cost compared to what Goudy Honda wanted to charge. I have found my new go to auto repair shop within walking distance. Thank you Mr. Gerson great work!! read more

I've been taking our cars to Gerhon's shop since he moved into the place after the previous mechanic retired. That guy was good, Gershon and his team are great. Kept my S2000 running great, and I still take my cars there even though I moved and the drive is longer. read more

I've been taking my cars to Gerson and his shop for years. They've been reliable, friendly and always HONEST. One of the hardest things to find in this industry is honesty I recently purchased a car that I found out the next day having a knocking sound from the engine bay -- bad deal overall I should've thought better when checking the car lol but I took it to two different mechanics and both told me it was the engine and it needed it to be replaced. Finally was able to get it to Gerson for a final chance because why not check it since I just refused to believe I just got a lemon lol They found out the issue wasn't the engine at all, but a part from the timing belt assembly. Once that was replaced, no more knock from the engine. G&B saved me on this all around. If I could give them a million stars I would. Also make sure to make an appointment by calling ahead. They're busy for a good reason! read more

My neighbor recommended G&B when he saw my car was towed home one day. I like that G&B is local to me since my previous mechanic is in Pasadena. Gerson and his staff are helpful, professional and trustworthy. The last trait is probably most important to me. Gerson has taken care of my car numerous times now. I have an aging Acura MDX and each time I've taken it in, my car is worked on in a timely manner. Gerson is very flexible and lets you know whether or not he can fit you into his schedule. The communication he provides is clear and accurate. Beyond trusting this team, I also know I'm being charged fairly. Gerson gives quotes before doing the work and I have not been surprised by any of the prices. Highly recommend leaving your car in their care - from oil changes to replacing your timing belt. read more

Where have they been all my life? I used to drive to pasadena and go to two popular mechanics. We found g &b on a fluke when those 2 other places couldn't fix the problem correctly several times or when their quote was quite high. This place said let us try and charged us a fair, better price. They fixed it too!! When they find something small they fix it for free and just charge you for what you came in for. Example - oil change- they fixed a nail in the tire free of charge! They'll continue getting our family business because they are good at what they do, reasonable, honest, and just all around great! read more

Gerson has been one of the best people to do business with in my entire life. He's taken care of my vehicle, my wife's vehicle and most of my family members vehicles for the past several years. Not once have we had any issues with his services and he has always gone the extra mile to take care of us. He's very honest and will always give you the best advice in regards to anything concerning your vehicle. On top of all this, he's just a hell of a guy and I always have a good time talking with him! Working with him has given me a peace of mind and has been a very enjoyable experience over the years. I recommend GERSON and his TEAM at G & B AUTO to everyone! Thank you for keeping is on the road! read more

My son's first car is a very old Prism that the door handle had broke! I saved a few hundred by buying the part online and going to G&B Auto for them to install it at a fraction of the price of other places. Gerson at G&B was very nice and super helpful not only did he fix the door but also the trunk that was jammed stuck and the AC blower fan. Great price, wonderful service, and conveniently located in my neighborhood. For hassle free quality work go into G&B! read more

Got home early morning and thought there was oil leak. Called the shop and asked to be seen right away, and the owner was very responsive and helpful. He told me to drive there so he could check it for me to find out what's going on and we would go from there. He checked it right away and told me the car ac is dripping ice drips only. He did not take any money for the service. I was very grateful that he took a look at my car at the very early time and his help. read more

Been here a couple times for minor fixes that other body shops usually charge you an arm and a leg for. Garrison is so friendly and helpful, I trust him with my car and his prices are very reasonable. Went to another body shop that was about to charge me $800 for a small repair, but I ended up coming here and turns out my repair was only $230. Such a lifesaver, thank you guys! read more

I brought in my Toyota because my airbag light was on. I came here because my dad stated that they would do a good job for a cheaper price. My dad was right. I took my car to the dealership earlier in the day and the service manager stated it would be $609 to fix my car. I just could not do that price. My dad told Gerson to keep it under $400. After he fixed my car, the final price with my Yelp discount came to $375. I felt like I won the lottery! The difference between the Toyota dealership and G&B Auto Repair is the price. I got good reliable service for a lot less than what the dealership would of given me. You can trust Gerson and his crew to do a good job and to give you a great price! read more

I went in by recommendation from a mechanic that didnt feel confident in working on my 2009 Ford Hybrid Escape, best decision ive made. I made an appointment, unfortunately I showed up an hour late and was still attended without hesitation, Gerson goes above and beyond not to mention his great customer service. I can honestly say i finally found an honest and knowledgeable mechanic, Gerson and staff are great and would definitely encourage you to see for yourself. 10 stars if possible read more

The moment when your car goes from maintenance required soon to maintenance required... this is what happened to me. I called Gersons place on a Saturday to see if he could take my car for maintenance + look at my tire that's been causing me issues for the past month. Luckily he said he could take me, so I drove my car over and dropped it off. I felt like Gerson did a great job and told me exactly what needed to be fixed without ripping me off. He finished everything within a timely manner and I got my car back within a few hours! He's a very nice guy, easy to talk to and I'm glad that I found someone local for my car needs because he doesn't rip you off like other places do (looking at you Toyota wondries lmao). PS. Don't forget to check in on yelp for a small discount off your final bill! read more

Great mechanics & excellent service. Took my car to have the A/C refrigerant removed, so I could do some work on the compressor. They did the work fast and the the fee was reasonable. read more

G&B Auto Repair and Gerson are THE BEST!! We've been going to there for awhile, and every time we go, we get the same excellent service and reliable care. Gerson and his staff are honest, professional, and trustworthy. Their rates are extremely reasonable! If you are looking for a repair shop, you can't go wrong coming here! There is a reason he only has 5 star reviews! G&B Auto and Gerson deserve every star!! Thank you Gerson! read more

I used to go to Main Street Automotive, but they went out of business due to increasing rents in San Gabriel. Someone recommended G and B to me and I am very happy. They are honest and competent and go out of their way to give good service. One time I left my keys there when I needed to leave the car overnight. They even came to my house to bring me my keys. This is a small shop that definitely is worth patronizing. read more

I have finally found a mechanic that is trustworthy. This Gerson guy is probably the most reliable mechanic I've ever worked with. I had a few issues with my car and he was quick to help. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I've been going to Gerson for years for oil changes and some repairs. With every single visit, he had my car done super quick and very reasonable pricing. Very kind guy! read more

It is really cool and nice place! I came here few times already! They r very friendly, respectful, responsible and helpful! I would for sure come back and recommend! read more

Gerson is simply the best! We take all our cars to him. He's honest, quick and his prices are very reasonable. He will do small fixes and refuse payment. Just a true gem in the sometimes shady auto repair world! read more

A close friend of mine recommended Gerson. He told me Gerson is a legend, he can fix anything l! He wasn't lying. I needed to have my 2000 Integra checked for any possible mechanical issues and fixed. He checked out my car, explained the issues and fixed everything. Can't recommend this place enough. If you want an honest mechanic with reasonable prices, Gerson is your man! Thanks again! read more

I woke up this morning to find that one of my tires were dead flat. I m a college student that commutes about 40 min to school and I was freaking out because I had class later in the day. I saw that this place opened at 8 am. I got to this place and they were really kind and friendly! They replaced my tire with the spare in the back and I asked how much was the service fee but he said dont worry about it. Such a nice guy with a big heart! He even gave me an estimate on how much getting newer tires would cost. Thank you so much! This place definitely deserves the good reviews. read more

At last, a honest mechanic! Knowledgeable and very nice.

Really quick service and good pricing! Even without the 20% off, I felt like I was getting a good deal. The service is speedy and very cordial. read more

I just got my brother's brakes replaced here and it was a great experience. The repair was reasonably priced and the customer service was excellent. Thanks Gerson and crew, i'll be back! read more

I highly recommend G&B Auto repair, its a family owned shop. I came to get my oil change the mechanic Gerson is extremely nice and friendly. He changed my oil quickly, he even went out of his way to clean my headlight, as i waited i was treated to a cup of coffee by Blanca, Gersons wife and when Gerson was done he also let me know i needed a few changes in my car, he gave me an estimate and its a fair price. I am definitely coming back to get my car fixed. read more

Gerson was really helpful. I went there to have my brake rotor changed. He gave me a reasonable price. I showed him the yelp discount and I got another 5% discount. The wait was too long. So, I asked if I could borrow his car to get some food. He lent me his car. I went to nearby Carlos Jr to get some food and drink. After I went back, the repair is done. Highly recommended. Thank you again. Will come back for another repair!!! read more

I took my Honda CRV to this place to change the front suspensions. Gerson is a very nice guy and very honest and gets the job done well at the most efficient cost. It's a very rare combination and difficult to find in auto repair world. He helped me to give estimate and options to save the cost. I really appreciate his help and I can see myself bringing my other cars to his shop. I am not paid to write this review but I'd recommend him to anyone to get their auto repair estimate from him and you'll know why he is a good choice for your auto repair. read more

First time here and was very impressed! I had called a couple of other mechanics prior to coming here to try and get an estimate on how much it would be to fix my car horn (it no longer worked). Other places wanted to charge me $100 to just take a look at it. I called this shop and they said they don't charge to inspect the car. Went in on a Saturday morning and the gentleman was very friendly and took my car in right away, no waiting. He worked on my car for an hour, what he promised and let me know he installed a new horn. He gave me a great deal. I was very happy. I will definitely be coming here for all my car fixes. read more
