I highly recommend Gary Johnston Truck and Auto Repair. My Nissan was towed to them by AAA with my approval. I was not familiar with them. They earned my full vote of approval. My car was difficult to diagnose. They did not give up..even after I was ready to. Parts were hard to find..they found them. They went out of their way on several accounts. Chris and the mechanics were very understanding that I really needed to get that Nissan back on the road.They made it happen. I am very grateful for their kindness, talent, and professionalism.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for car or truck repair! Honest, reasonable and dependable. If you have any car troubles these guys can handle it.

This is absolutely the best mechanic shop in Tulsa and the surrounding areas. They replaced my rotors and brakes. A little higher priced than a few others but I feel safer in my vehicle knowing the mechanics guarantee their work. They work on every vehicle like it will be driven by their family member. Will definitely take my vehicle here for service!

Couldn't be more impressed with Chris and the guys at Gary Johnston Truck. Took my truck to 3 different shops here locally and GJT was the first to diagnose it correctly and fix the issue. I had a small issue we found out about after leaving and the shop and they warrantied everything they had worked on previously. Highly recommended and will use them for any of my vehicle issues going forward. A+Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Brakes, Oil change

I've been told there are 3 things in life that are important to find: a good barber, plumber, and mechanic. If you are still looking for a mechanic, these guys are great! They don't B.S. you and give you honest estimates.I drive a '99 Camry. When I brought it in, they didn't have loaner cars but were willing to give me a ride to where I rented a vehicle nearby. They explained what was going on with my car, explained what needed to be fixed, and gave me a direct quote and time frame for repair (not beating around the bush). Solid repair work.A few month later, took it back because I was hearing something that didn't sound right. Instead of driving it further till it got worse I took it to them. I dropped it off in the morning and called them later that afternoon, they noticed something minor that ended up being the problem (a few loose bolts). Didn't need any repair work but said I'd only need to pay for time (which wasn't much). They did notice something else was happening but instead of trying to sell needing to repair it ASAP, they were honest about it not being a pressing issue.So when I came to pick it up, they were willing to waive charging me because they appreciated me as a customer (I did not try to haggle, important to note). You cannot put a price on a business that is willing to take care of you and you're willing to pay for quality work. They are my mechanics for however long I live in Tulsa.Great customer service and great mechanic work. They've earned my business.

Radiator replacement on Chevy 2500. They were extremely fast in replacing radiator & did a great job.I always read reviews & anything negative was addressed by owner in a very professional manner.Reading between the lines on negative reviews, you can usually spot something that doesn't sound right & mostly something fishy on the customer's part.Highly recommend!

Gary Johnston's has done an amazing job on my car when I've gone in. They're always very friendly and their pricing is fair- as an out of state college student I have never been overcharged and their work has been very good and timely. They've done work on a Honda and a Buick for me and have done a great job on both without giving me a long list of things wrong like a tire shop might. 10/10 would recommend.

I lost my brakes just as I got into Tulsa and had to rely on AAA for a referral for service. They suggested Gary Johnston. When AAA dropped my truck off the Service Center was extremely busy. I explained to them I was in a spot and time was an issue. They immediately got my Truck on a lift and took care of my brakes. I knew I also needed some U Joints replaced and asked if they could take care of that while it was on the lift. Not only did they fix the U Joint, but they did so at a VERY reasonable rate. An EXTREMELY Professional crew, from the Service Desk, to the Technicians themselves. If you live in Tulsa, or are just passing through and run into trouble, be sure to give these Professionals a call. You WON'T be dissapointed.

An absolute scam! I took my vehicle in for a wheel alignment and tire balance/rotate. They told me I needed on both front sides, new wheel bearings, new front shocks, new rotors, new brake pads... gave me a outrageous price of over $1700! Took it elsewhere and got my truck worked on for $116! Drives like a dream no thanks to Gary Johnston. Go here if you have money in your pocket burning a hole.

I am so pleased with the work Gary Johnston's Truck and Auto Repair did on my Chevy. Often times I have experienced high pressure and surprises in cost once my vehicle was repaired. At Gary Johnston's they were up front and honest with me regarding all repairs and cost. I never felt any pressure or rush in making my decision. I highly recommend his shop without hesitation!

As a young woman, I felt a bit nervous about going into a car shop. I didn t know anything about cars, so I felt venerable with my cash. I asked them to explain what it was going on with my car and they explained it to the point I feel like IM the expert. They brought two of my totaled car back to life. And the WORK do is so incredibly. Go back into the shop, not a single person is relaxing, theyre ALL hands on deck. Even the owner has stopped what he was doing to fix my car m. They re amazing, don t miss this hemServices: Carburetor cleaning, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Body & Trim, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Battery, Oil change

I had several preventive maintenance items done to my pickup. They said it would be done when I got off work. They finished on time and at a very reasonable cost. It is very difficult to find a fair, honest and reliable business. Gary Johnston is all of those. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a car question on a separate issue and when I called he took time to answer my question. At no time did I ever feel pressured to end my call. I would whole-heartedly recommend this company.

Lifter & cam issues. The shop offered to give me a ride back to work while they worked on my car, which was nice. Fixed my car issues within one week, despite the fact that one of the parts were on national backorder! They gave me updates throughtout the week and let me know price changes before starting the task at hand. In the end, they went a little over $500 from the estimate they had given me, $200 of the cost was my fault for not supplying a few items I had originally said I was. My car is running good so far, so I am happy. I will be a repeat customer & recommend the shop to others. stars in my book!

Me and my fiance brought our altima in for some work on the steering when the work was done i thought it seemed a little high but paid it anyways the next morning i was called to come back and pick up a refund of 100.00 that they mistakenly overcharged. When i went in i mentioned that the alignment seemed off so they are going to fix it at no cost. They seem honest and want to make sure you are happy with their work and they really care about what their customers think.

Iove these guys. They are awesome. I was going out of town, and needed a quick oil and tire rotation in short notice. These guys didn't give it a second thought. They took care of me right away, and today I stop by to get a multiPoint vehicle inspection, and they even pointed out the trouble areas. They even told me an estimate of how much I would spend to get it fix FAST AND FRIENDLY SERVICE at a great cost. Casey YOU'RE Awesome see you soon.... :)Excellent service In TULSA....

I brought my F-150 to Gary Johnston's with the hope that they would live up to the good reviews. Needless to say, it was the worst experience I have ever had with a shop. Not only did they not fix the truck at all, they kept the truck there for nearly a month and tried to hide the fact that they weren't going to work on it. They never contacted me, even after telling me they were going to work on it. I went there and picked my truck up and brought to a different shop. It was fixed there within 1 week and will never go back to this place, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone. Terrible service and terrible experience.

Had a great experience with these guys, first time I could say that about a mechanical shop in a long time. They were very knowledgeable & helpful and took great care of my Tahoe, Got it back with no issues and have used them ever since. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

When they want you to chose them over another shop, they will call non-stop and tell you what you want to hear. But once you choose them, they won't update you on anything. You have to call them and leave many messages. My truck kept getting pushed back but I had to constantly call them. It was just hard to believe because of how persistent they were when they wanted my business. Very disappointing. Worst shop experience I have ever had!

The mechanics we all need! My wife broke down in Tulsa as she was driving home to Sallisaw. She left it there and got a ride home, and I went up a few days later to see if I could get it towed to a garage. It seemed to be working, so I limped it to Gary Johnston Truck and Auto Repair, and they came outside and looked at it for me. They figured out what had been the problem, identified that it was most likely a one-time problem, so I ran a few errands in Tulsa to make sure we were up and running. It was running great, so I headed home and it's been great since! At no cost they provided me the exact diagnosis and prediction that I needed, and got me back on the road! Can't thank these guys enough!

I was very pleased with my experience with the shop. Great prices and very knowledgeable at what they do, I got my truck back faster than expected and at a cheaper cost than I was quoted at other shops. I would refer them to anyone needing their car or truck repaired.

My company has a fleet of vehicles and Gary Johnston's is the shop that we use. They are who you are looking for to fix your vehicle.They fix our vehicles in a timely manner and most importantly they fix it right the first time. You won't be disappointed in their capabilities as mechanics.

Where to begin. Very unprofessional. They sent out for parts from a close parts store and when worker came back with nothing, i overheard them talking about not being able to get parts due to bills not being paid to store. I immediately had my vehicle taken elsewhere. If this company won't pay their bills, why should i trust them with my vehicle.

Rip off!!! They overcharged us by over 200%. Wife traveled to Tulsa to visit family and vehicle broke down. Didn't get a good description of parts and labor, after getting the invoice I researched the cost of parts and labor and we were overcharged by $700.00. I hope if the owner comes to Texas he feels as welcome as we did
