Gary not only understands cars, he understands people.When my '97 Cherokee started having problems, I called around the area and wanted to get some opinions. I was quoted outrageous prices, plus I was cast aside based on my vehicle (suggesting I did not have the money to afford car repairs). I was told numerous times to junk my car. Gary listened to my situation and simply said "step by step". He set up the towing of my vehicle and did not charge me that day giving me peace of mind (that was important to me, no one likes to be pushed for money on the spot). At the time, he was very busy with other customer repairs. He MADE time to look at my jeep. My repairs came out to a little below $200 (with the towing). Everyone has told me that my car needs a new head gasket and other major repairs. I was willing to invest a lot of money into the gasket repair, but Gary told me that he sees no immediate reason to do so. He drove it himself and saw no oil leaks to cause such concern. His calm demeanor and his step by step (its not the end of the world) mentality gave me peace of mind. He is a genuine person, who lives in the real world. I can tell he enjoys his job, and is out to help people. Not spin their head around with costly repairs. I know my gasket will go out eventually, and I know who I'm gonna call first.

I pulled into Gamber's at 4:45 pm last night with a VERY low tire in hopes that they had air that wasn't "frozen". Not only did they have a working air hose (unlike Dittmer's), but they pulled my tire and fixed the rim leak that was causing the problem. AND, they managed to get my wipers unstuck! The price was fair, the service was quick and Clutch the Dog was awesome. I will go back!

Gary is always honest and up front. He overshoots his diagnosis in the event that something else needs done, and he'll tell you that. "If it's just this, then you're looking at this amount. But if this or this need replaced as well, then it's gonna be this amount." He always asks before he does anything not discussed. There's always a warranty on either parts, labor, or both!He was even able to warranty a part that he didn't install, nor had I paid for it. It was a brand that he sold that had a lifetime warranty and it was done with no questions asked.If Gary can't help ya, he'll point you in the best possible direction. You'll even be entertained by his Mastador, Clutch, while waiting for you vehicle.From one bumper to the other, he'll take good care of ya for a reasonable price.

They are amazing. Helped me and my mother when her truck broke down. Actually drive down the road to meet up with us. Had us back up and running in the parking lot. We drove to the shop and they fixed the issue quickly. Goes above and beyond as far as customer service goes. Love them!

As many have said, Clutch is amazing. I have never seen a bear so dedicated to seeing a job well done under his supervision.Gamber's is also amazing! Im on a cross country road trip, living out of my van, and all the big box auto shops wanted me to shell out a minimum of $100 and that was just to verify the engine code from autozone was right. If it was, I was looking at just under $800 in parts and labor. They were very nice...but they never even looked under the hood of my van.At GAMBERS, they started it up, ran a code scan themselves, and realized my spark plugs were loose, which was a likely cause of my somewhat unclear engine code. They tightened them up and sent me on my way FOR FREE.On the road, all weird car behaviour seems to have been corrected.Super great guys. Thank you Gamber's!!!

Went here to have a hose fixed on my power steering cost almost a thousand dollars then it cost me around 30 to use my ATM/debit card. A few months later looked in my driveway and my power steering was leaking again, went to two reputable places and they both diagnosed it the same when gambers supposedly fixed it they put it in wrong it cost over a grand to have someone fix it the right way.

I have taken my Hondas to be repaired by 2 generations of family owners. I have always been more than satisfied with the customer service and the knowledge to service my cars well. I have had warranty service at the Honda dealer, and I have returned to Gamber's for the personal service from knowing me as a customer and familiarity with my cars. Gary has discussed the need for any more costly repairs and his charges have been fair. When he needs to keep my car for a longer time, he has driven me home. All the buzz now is patronizing small and local vendors. Give Gamber's Auto Service a try for something like an oil change. Guaranteed you will return for other car services!

Had a diagnostic test done with no results. He kept telling to clean my cables and get a new air breather which had nothing to do with my problem I was having. I suppose he had to tell me something beings he found nothing. $65 In the hole and still the same problem exists. He was the cheapest and I guess I got what I paid for. I'll pay the extra and stay with wallicks

Took my truck to get timed and they decided to be lazy and push my truck into there shop. Now my tailpipes stick out past my bumper so they bent those closed and pushed my entire exhaust towards the engine and in return broke both my 400 dollar a piece cat converters and continue to deny that they did it. Oh and i forgot the big dent in my bumber that wasn't there. So save yourself some money and stay away.
