I was referred to Gary by another local business who could not diagnose an issue I was having with my 2004 F-150. I left the competitor and dropped it off with Gary. In less than a week - I had a diagnosis as well as a few different options ahead of me. Gary explained in great detail the pro's and con's of the options provided and even made a recommendation. I opted to replace with a re-manufactured engine (that came with a 3 yr/100,000 mile warranty). Carmen - who was an angel to work with throughout the entire process - quoted me a time frame of less than a week from the day they take delivery of the engine. Less than week later (including a holiday) - I get a call to come pick my truck up it was fixed. I get there - my truck runs better than it did the day I picked it up from the dealership. Gary must have spent a good 45 minutes talking me through all of the things he noticed, his extensive testing, explanation of next steps to break the engine in, the free oil change they threw in, etc. I go back into the office and Carmen had everything lined up and stepped me through all of the paperwork that came with my new engine as well as guided me through the steps to get the warranty registered to me. She even told me to call them if I notice anything crazy with my truck and they would have me towed in at their expense - just to be safe!!! It is a pity that I am leaving the area - just when I found "The last mechanic I will ever need...". I highly recommend Gary's Car Craft - you will not be disappointed! read more

Gary's has already screwed two of my best friends. They both went in with small engine problems and the both wound up getting screwed for over $6500 for the one car and $850 for the 2nd car. The last car a BMW came in for oil drain pan seal replacement that cost $5000 and when he received the car back the brake lights were not working. Now how does that happen! Gary said he did not do that, so my friend left it with him again and one month later he says it is fixed but it was not two months after that he says it is fixed and wanted to charge him another $850!!! After calling bullshit on that he lowered the bill to $450. This is a pattern with this business they start with the original problem and then other things pop up making that bill larger and larger. Do not take your car to Gary's Car Craft. read more

Gary's Car Craft - Auto Repair Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

I have used Gary and Carmen's service for years, even when they were operating out of a tiny spot in the Morgran office park across from Orange Park High. They took care of my 1997 F250 7.3L diesel crew cab 4x4 for years until i sold it a few months ago. They kept it running like new with about 300,000 miles on it when I sold it. Never a problem in all those years. read more

Unfortunately had a very bad experience at Gary's. We took my daughter's 2003 Mercedes Benz in to get the convertible top looked at. I called ahead and was told they could make the repair. I received a call back later that day and told that it needed all 5 lift cylinders replaced. They also said the it needed rear brake rotors, pads, flush and new rear tires. The car wasn't safe to drive because there were wires sticking out of the tread. I knew this simply was not true (I checked the vehicle tires after I brought it home and no wires sticking out). Quoted $3139.80 worth of repairs, much of which was not what the vehicle was brought in for, this felt like a typical repair shop hard upsell. I said I would come by and pick the car up. After arrival I paid the fee for the inspection and walked out to get the car. It was backed up to the shop building and the front bumper was visibly damaged. I went back into the office and informed them was damage to the vehicle. I was told they would check the inspection and pictures from when they checked the car in. After several minutes the front office rep came out and said a new guy had checking the car in and only took a picture of the rear license plate (convenient). They said they had a camera recording the entry of the repair shop and would pull that. Gary (the owner) came out with the camera footage and it was grainy and impossible to see the details of the bumper when it arrived at the shop. He said the landlord of the property had cameras and he would request the footage and call me back. After 3 weeks and multiple follow up calls I have not gotten a return call from Gary. I'm always told by person answering they'll have Gary call back but it doesn't happen. Unfortunately my next step is to file a complaint with the state attorney general. read more

See all

We have a jaguar and every time there is a problem with it, we take it here. No complaints here.

Honesty. Great work. Fair pricing. Good people. What more can I say about this company? What more can I ask for? I drive 30 miles to take my car to this service shop, because of those words. It's refreshing to be a customer of a company that's beholding to them. I'm 76 years old, and can remember when the vast majority of companys stood by those tenets. Employees and owners had to look at themselves in the mirror each morning with confidence and dignity. Where has that gone? To Gary's Car Craft, that's where. Thank you to Gary, Jeannie and the crew for upholding the traditions that made this country great. read more

I was referred to Gary's Car Craft by another shop because theirs does not repair VW's. When another mechanic refers you, that's a good sign! Gary's replaced the transmission and the job cost $2,000 less than the dealer quoted me. And the car runs great now! I won't take my cars anywhere else. So happy to find such a good and reliable shop. And Carmen in the front is great. She was very helpful about letting me know what needs to be fixed now, as well as potential problems that I should be aware of. She even called me to see how everything was going. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Fixed my trucks AC in one day! I felt like family there. I will use them again. I can't say enough how wonderful they treated me. A+

Excellent Service. Good mechanic. He was the only mechanic confident enough to perform a valve job on my 2006 Subaru Impreza. I contacted several others, who either did not return calls or declined. Car runs better than ever. read more
