Excellent job on my Mazda CX5. Quick turnaround, and the recommended work has definitely improved my car's performance. Pricing was reasonable, too. Very friendly and professional people, reliable and trustworthy. I went on a recommendation and will definitely go back for my next inspection, oil change and/or repair needed. read more

We trusted GT Auto for many years for basic car maintenance and they typically would call before doing 'extra' work which increased the bill. The owner claimed he wanted customers to be safe and cars to last forever, but it may exceed your budget. Our very negative experience was the absolute shock of $1,000+ charge (during an oil change visit) for the dome light replacement! We were told the "whole ceiling" had to be taken apart, fabric pulled down and everything, to replace the plastic insert... I protested that he didn't call before doing the work which was so expensive, but he wouldn't release the car keys until I paid the full bill saying the local police could come if I refused to pay for the services... he put me in a terrible position having to explain to my wife how we were robbed from such a trusted mechanic on an invoice which was 1/10 the value of the vehicle!! several years later, now I see on YouTube videos the bulb and plastic activator can all be replaced by just a screwdriver in 15 minutes... so I'm warning all of you, to be careful! Once you give GT Auto your car keys, you're at their mercy for the work they do (actual or claimed), with your approval (real or alleged) and you can't prove you DIDN'T authorize the work, and they'll impound your vehicle until you pay up... read more

warning: do not go here unless you want to get slammed with additional things done to your car that you didn't ask for - resulting in an outrageously large bill. I first went to GT several years ago. They're nice enough. went in for a routine oil change, and when I went to pick up my car, got slammed with an unexpected bill. I questioned it and told them I didn't consent to any of this. They apologized, said they do this service for all their customers. I asked them to notate on my record I do not consent and only want the requested service next time. Fast forward to August 2024- dropped my car off for a routine oil change, picked it up to an unexpected $400 bill, with $200 of that being labor. They changed lights that didn't need to be changed, a key fob that I didn't ask for, amongst a few other things. Never once was I called and asked if this was ok. I was expecting to maybe spend $150 max and was taken by surprise. When I spoke to the owner he was argumentative and rude. They are unethical and disgusting. only go here if you want unwanted work without consent done on your car, where you'll spent hundreds of dollars you weren't asking to. Take advice from the numerous reviews that say the same read more

Based on a recommendation from a coworker, we brought our Chevy pickup to GT Automotive Center (161 S. Main St., Ambler, PA 19002) on May 25, 2022 to be inspected. Their paperwork documents that date. The inspection was due to expire at the end of June. They determined that it needed major brake work, a new front stabilizer bar and etc. We approved the work and the cost estimate. We were told that they could start it the following week. When we checked in the following week, we were told that it had not been started but a promise was made for the following week. This string of failed commitments continued for 6 weeks. Per GT's paperwork, on July 7 they acknowledged that they could not complete the work in a timely manner. Unfortunately by the time they admitted that, the inspection expired and the truck could no longer legally be driven. The cost to tow it to another garage was $180.00. (AAA will not tow an uninspected vehicle)!. Before they would allow the truck to be moved, they demanded $137.75 for the estimate of what work needed to be done. In the end, we spent $317.75 dollars and struggled through weeks of not having a vehicle because GT Automotive would not admit that they unable to do the job. If they had admitted this the first, second or third week, we could have driven the truck to a more reliable garage rather than having to pay to have it towed. Our co-worker stated that he was surprised to see how far the service at GT Automotive had fallen and will be taking his vehicles elsewhere. As a post note, a different PA licensed inspection station found several of the repairs required by GT Automotive were NOT necessary and were able to complete the inspection and repairs in 10 days! read more

I have a twenty year old car my daughter uses to go back and forth daily to work and college. It is basic transportation. I made an appointment on Thursday to have the brakes looked at and to get an idea weather or not the belts needed to be replaced. I explained I didn't want to spend a lot on the vehicle and that I would like an estimate before starting any work. They didn't get to the car on Thursday. I didn't hear from them on Friday. They called me Monday at 8:15. I went down to find out what they found. They proceeded to tell me a list of things that were not working with the car that I didn't want repaired or analyzed. They said car wasn't worth fixing. I said how much do I owe you - they charged me $180, to just look at the car! I took the car to my regular mechanic and he fixed the brakes the day I took it to him and didn't over charge me for the work. read more

My car was due for inspection, and I was having a hard time getting a hold of my normal place so I googled a spot that does inspection near me, and I am so glad I did! I called on Monday and got an appointment for Tuesday. In the morning on Tuesday, I received a comprehensive text message accompanied with pictures showing me all the damage on my brakes (from previous poor service). I then received a call, and Harry explained even further. They were able to get everything done for my car done in a day. When I picked up the car in the evening, Harry had printed out before and after pictures with explanations of the work as well as the deteriorated condition of the parts that needed replacing. I am SO happy that I went to GT Automotive, and we will be taking both of our cars here for inspection and oil changes moving forward! Thank you for your thorough work and helping me to better understand everything along the way! read more

Been taking cars here for years and they are the best for trustworthy service at a fair cost.

GT Automotive Center is everything you want in your local auto service provider. They are highly skilled, knowledgeable, courteous and above all, fair. I've been bringing our families cars there for almost a year and been treated like family. Multiple times Harry or another member of the staff have gone out of their way to accomodate our needs while saving us money. They've earned my business by earning my trust. I highly recommend them for any of your automotive needs!! read more

I was completely taken advantage of today. Service for a rear break replacement (just breaks, not rotors) should cost under $100. They charged me DOUBLE. The cost for their breaks were also on the higher end. I would not even complain about that if they didn't blatantly scalp me. The guy was pushy and tried to tell me that my other service station (Flourtown Service Center) sucked at their job and aren't as thorough as GT. I knew better but they wouldn't budge. When I called Flourtown afterward to get a quote, they assured me they give the same services as GT but for half the price. Unbelievable! If they weren't booked all week, I would have never gone here. I will not be returning! Always, always go to Flourtown. read more

I have been going to GT Automotive Center for over 20 years. I continually find Harry, George, Junior, Gail, etc. to be more than accommodating to my schedule and automotive repair needs. I have 2 cars that are each over 10 years old and due to GT's diligence in identifying current and future problems, I never have concerns during an extended road trip. In addition to servicing my current cars, the last 2 car purchases that I made were based on a detailed and thorough evaluation by Harry's team prior to signing an agreement. read more

We've been taking our vehicles to GT Auto for many years now and have always been pleased with their service. I got a flat tire on the PA Turnpike recently in my 10-year old Honda Pilot, which is serviced by GT Auto. The tow truck driver warned me that I'll likely need a tow since spare tires on a 10-yr old vehicle are typically useless. When he saw my spare, he was shocked - it was in like-new condition, filled with air, and the rim was even freshly painted. I took my flat to GT Auto and Harry repaired it at no charge. GT Auto takes great care of their customers and their vehicles, even the spare tire that you probably forgot was in your trunk. read more

Warning: avoid this vendor. I dropped my jeep off for a transmission service , oil change, and to have an engine light investigated. They kept my vehicle all day, then called me at 430 to tell me my vehicle needed new rear brakes and rotors(450 dollars), a transmission rebuild (so they didn't do the transmission service), and a few other items they found when they did a "free" inspection of my vehicles condition. When I asked questions, they got annoyed, and would not tell me what their shop's hourly rate was(it's 100 dollars per hour they later admitted). The owner, Harry, insulted me and my vehicle after I asked him to do just the items I came there for. I asked for my keys back, paid my bill and walked out before things got worse. In the end, I paid 258 dollars, got my oil changed, and my check engine light is still on. I may need a new transmission, or a rebuild, but this is the last place I would have it done. If you have a serious problem, read the reviews and take it somewhere else or they will try to take advantage of you. read more
