Have been to Jeremy's three times and only paid for help on the last two visits. The first time he…read morewas nice enough to drive my car to experience what I was describing and didn't charge me a dime. What impressed me was how he remembered me on the 2nd and 3rd visits and when I told him the year, model and colour of my car, he remembered the issue I was having. Remarkable when you consider the number of vehicles and customers he deals with. He is great with his staff and I think it says a lot of a person, who when a customer isn't clearly in earshot (but has great hearing), treats their staff with respect and not for show. I was very happy to find that he was open on Saturdays, when one Friday night I got my first check engine light. I just dropped in and was prepared to make an appointment and leave, but he found the issue quickly and also pointed out that the necessary new part was only $55 ordered from a local dealer. I liked that he thought it was important to do the job right and not a quick fix and took a fatherly tone when I inquired about a used part instead of being patient and waiting for the new one. "We're not talking about thousands of dollars here" he says, politely discouraging me from being cheap. He had the part Tuesday afternoon and I had it fixed the next day. In the meantime he had my car working and fine for any trips around the city I needed to make. I asked him about rims I liked on other models and if he ever sees any for sale, which he would remember on my next visit and was going to trade with me, meaning I'd not be stuck with the old rims I no longer needed and having to pay the full cost of the new set. He'd have no trouble selling those rims on Craigslist for much more than he was offering me. I think he enjoyed my enthusiasm for my new, old car and wanted to help me fix it up. In the end my existing rims were smaller and so he couldn't swap and put my smaller rims on another vehicle. I bought my car in December and when the a/c wasn't blowing cold air on Easter weekend, I thought I should take it in before it gets really warm. Considering the age of my car, it would make sense the a/c refrigerant needed to be replenished. Maybe a hose needed replacing due to a leak. What Jeremy found was that my a/c was by-passed with a shorter engine belt, avoiding the air compressor, which would likely have made considerable noise if it wasn't working properly. I would have heard this on my test drive and not bought the car, so this was obviously done to make a sale. If the dealership didn't do this, it should have been noticed and repaired before the sale since climate control and air-conditioning were advertised as features on the vehicle. In December, turning the climate control low enough to have the a/c kick in, would have had the car blowing air from outside the car, which was already very cold and I wouldn't have noticed. Jeremy doesn't deal with the warranty company that provides the warranty for my car, which I completely understand. Though the warranty was helpful in getting this issue with the a/c fixed at Central Import (around the corner), I've not heard good things about the warranty company online and don't think I'd do business with them either. If I had the cash I would have just had Jeremy fix it, knowing that it'd be done right, but being out of work, I had no choice but to leave and find a place that would do warranty repairs. I recommend Jeremy and would take my vehicle back for sure. Since I started going to Central Import (initially because they deal with the warranty company for me and have been amazing and it's only fair to reward great service with return business) I haven't been back, but regard Jeremy's quality work to be the high standard everyone else is compared to now.

Jeremy's I thought was a good repair shop, I have taken my car there many times as it is hard to…read morefind good Saab mechanics. BEWARE of this shop!! A few times I have taken my car and was told he was putting in new original parts. I kinda noticed the parts did not look new, but thought it was just in my head, and thought no one would claim to be replacing parts with new parts and be putting in old used parts. But I am sure now that this is the case, he will make you feel as though he is helping you by charging you minimal labour but he is putting used parts and charging the new price to make his huge profit. Ask for the box for new parts he will never have it. I recently got taken for more than a thousand dollars and when I asked for my old parts which is required by law to be offered to customer he gave me a story about how the garbage had been thrown out on a Saturday, yeah sure it was Jeremy. This man is rude and doesn't know how to speak to customers. He argued with me for 5 minutes because I wanted to bring my own parts then finally when I conceded and let him purchase "original" parts for full Saab price. I got my car back and it ran terrible, obviously he had not purchased the new part and replaced my old parts with used parts or a back door fix. When i was arguing with him he told me where he was purchasing my parts from and I took him for his word. When I started having issues I called the parts distributed, they told me the part would take 1 week to get(he said was in stock)I then asked if they had recently sold this part in last week, the parts guy said no and that he always works the Saab parts for that dealership. I am finished with this con shop, beware if you still want to take your car here. Ask to see the box for new part and take a good look at what he says he's changed. He charged me for a new ignition cassette. It was rusty the bolts were rusty and it looked old. He lies, lies , LIES! I don't mind paying, but this guy makes you pay, and gives you the cheaply service and old used parts. Trust me RUN! Far far away. Take your car to beacon. You may pay a bit more, but you will get exactly what you pay for, not lies and intimidation and rudeness when you ask simple questions, when you call and ask about your car you won't get attitude and terrible service. He's only nice when it's time to pay, and he's mr nice guy all of a sudden. This may have been a good shop in the past. But he is tired old and angry about working for a living and has resorted to scams to make his living. I am now in a situation where I know that I am screwed because I've already paid and he has put some garbage part in my car where I need to pay 400$ to get to it. and when they open it up and see its old parts, I will have no recorse other than to pay again to have it fixed by someone else, get receipts and ask for your old parts, and if you have the guts, ask for the box of the new part. Watch how he will squirm, because he's a con man. Thank for giving it to me nice Jeremy, you taught me another huge lesson. I used to drive so out of my way to go to what I thought was a great shop, never again. Old parts, new prices!! Should be moto.

That included the time for the parts guy to deliver my parts. Has rear stabilizer bar bushings replaced due to excessive play and clunky noise. Past mechanics couldn't diagnose it properly until Lim did it in passing. So I'm impressed. Front stabilizer bar links seized and got those replaced too. This is for a 16 yr old car. Lim is a good guy. The old guy, says he's been doing mechanic work since 1986. If you're no stranger to car repair and maintenance, the price for parts and labour is right.

No monetary-value goes into a fancy waiting room or coffee machine. Summary: If you wish to pay for honest, economical and high-quality automotive services Gilman Auto is for you. If you wish your hard earned cash to pay for gourmet coffee machines, a fancy waiting room and a premium garage (with potentially inferior service), go to a dealership. Full Review: Welcome to one of the best and respected local mechanic shop in Scarborough Ontario. Raymond Lee has over 30 years of experience in automotive repair, maintenance, performance modifications and customizations at fair prices. In fact at first sight you will be turned off by the humble industrial unit, crumbling tiled waiting room floor, and half-naked calendar girls hanging on the walls. As you peer through the door marked "customers cannot enter work area" you will be shocked by the mass of car parts stacked on shelves and the floor, the hanging florescent lights and the foreboding presence of mechanical chaos. If you have the stones to refrain from judging this book by its cover, you will not be disappointed. Gilman Auto has a large "fan-base" of intensely loyal customers throughout the Greater Toronto Area consisting of import enthusiasts, club racers and performance fanatics. The reason these folks and yours truly respect and admire Raymond is due to his honesty, high-quality work and the pride he and his staff put into their work. Not only does he provide quality service for a fair price, he stands by his work. Unlike the dealerships Raymond's bread and butter is repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations to friends and family. Additionally Raymond doesn't just fix cars, he also competitively road races (in a recreational capacity) his own race prepared Honda Prelude as evidenced by the numerous trophies displayed in-store. He knows his stuff, from common (but often expensive) maintenance to full out performance builds on both imports and domestics. Bottom line is that Gilman Auto offers high quality, open and honest automotive services at very fair prices. Keep an open mind and look past the facilities, you'll be glad you did. Oh and for the record no one knows what he says when he picks up the phone ... could be "Gilman" or "good afternoon" or "Mel Lastman". Don't ask, just tell him that Jerry from the Prelude Club sent you :)
