They did nothing but waste my time and money. The employees were nice and at least tried to be helpful any time I talked to them. But the owner has terrible communication skills and is a huge headache to deal with on top of being just straight up rude and unprofessional.Service: Body & TrimService: Body & Trim

My son bought a 2010 Jeep wrangler from this a$$. He was 17 at time. I asked please just tell us what's wrong. My boy saved money. Just be straight with us. They said leak on front wheel hub which he would fix. No lights were on. My boy buys it...1 week after purchase engine light comes on. I call down there to see what's up. Owner tells me come down. He will look at it. So make appt and go down. Owner is in Tennessee. I talked to 1 of the workers. He says man they sold that fast. He said he used to make deliveries. I said engine line just came on. He told me that light had been on for awhile. So basically guy hooked up to machine and cleared code. It ended up being transmission. You get that Transmission shop lied and sold son a Jeep he knew was junk. Buyer beware with this a$$. You've been warned....wish I was. Hope I don't see this guy.

Absolutely worst garage ever all they do is take your money and yell does no service at all don't know how they still in business definitely reported them to someone and waiting on call as we speak in the process of getting lawyers to sue them not letting them get away with how they keep ripping people off this business is wrong and shady

I had some issues with my Tahoe. It broke down right there in Freedom not even a mile from Gilarno's. I called and he said he would go and grab it and check it out. I did not receive a call from them I had to call him myself. Once I called he told me it was my fuel pump. He gave me a total of 732 dollars. I accepted that he wanted to charge me 50 bucks just for the tow. I told him to do the work on the it. I asked when it would be finished he said if he could get the part in by 3 he would be able to have it finished by the end of the day. I told him to please give me a call once the part came in. He did not call me so at 2 I called and he told me the part came in but he had to replace the fuel filter still. I left work early to go pick it up and on my way there I gave them a call and he said it would not be finished til Monday due to the fuel lines were busted by the fuel filter. I asked him how much it would be additional to the service. He said no much more the parts were cheap. I said ok. I did not receive a call from him so on Monday I called at noon and it was still not finished. He told me he had found more leaking lines due to him removing the fuel filter. He said it would be finished soon. I went to pick it up to only find out that it was going to cost me 923 all together and that was with him lowering the cost of the tow to 30 and the parts and labor for fixing the lines. 200 more then the quoted. That is absurd. I will never go here again. They are not prompt. They are not reasonably priced.

I always have a good experience when I go to Gilarno's Garage- whether it be to get the cars oil changed, inspection or a problem with the vehicle. My daughter recently got her first car and she uses Gilarno's Garage as well. I feel safe when I get my vehicle back and I know my daughters car will be safe to drive also! Harry knows his mechanics and his right hand mechanic-Carl is awesome to deal with also-very personable and knowledgeable of vehicles!Thanks Guys for all your work!

He said he would have my car done by 12pm Friday. Called at 2 didn't touch it. Went there at 4pm still didn't touch it. Said he would have it done Saturday morning never showed to the shop till after 2pm and when I went there he still didn't touch my car. In my opinion tour only as good as your word in this case these people are trash!!!

This is by far the worst car repair shop I've had the misfortune of going to. They must have paid people to write good reviews or faked the reviews themselves. If I could give 0 stars out of 5 I would. This place will either break things on your car purposely so you take it back, or they break it because they don't know what they're doing. They'll take a ridiculous amount of time to "get around" to working on your car after you take it to them. They'll overcharge you RIDICULOUSLY for everything. Someone like Chris Hansen should run an investigation on this business to expose how they rip people off. I can't stress enough - don't take your car to this garage. If something's wrong with your car, it might be in even worse shape when you get it back from these guys than before you dropped it off.

I had them pickup my car because it wouldn't start. When he picked it up I told him I had already replaced the starter and relay. He didn't listen to anything I said and talked over me because he doesn't like AutoZone parts "Oh it's the starter". I called them to check the status a few days later; to which they found out it was the ignition collum & they had it on order from Indianapolis because they "couldn't find them anywhere else" (there were several local when I checked with my phone). Fine fine, that should have been a 4 hour job....took them over 4 weeks total (which I had to spend over 1k$ on uber) because they couldn't figure out which 1 was needed for my VATS system (all they had to do was put an ohm reader on my key pellet and from the resistance would have told them which 1). After they screwed up and got the wrong 1 twice, they ended up replacing the entire cylinder. Fine, whatever; I was tired of them holding my car and just wanted it done. So after they did all that and came to cutting the keys for it they kept screwing that up too (ended up taking it to a GM dealership to fix ((I know right?))). This entire time they wouldn't give me a price of any kind, even being asked several times (illegal to do that I thought?); also out of the almost month the only 2 times they ever called me was if I was home so they could get my car & when it was "done". Frustrated I went to get my car, guy broke my horn buttons so I now have no horn (said he couldn't find one even though even walmart sells them meaning he didn't want to cough up the $40 I'm going to have to pay to fix their mistake); and he changed my relay again "for free" (even though I told him when he picked it up I had already did that). Charged me an 80$ diagnostic fee that I'm 100% they never did; 80 for tow (I live not even a mile away). Was so fed up I paid the guy to get my car out of their incapable hands. Get it home to find out they left out 4 screws (what kind of shop can't even put screws back in?); broke several dash retainer clips, so I checked the relay to find out they broke the bracket that holds them (had 1 relay just dangling there), and were so lazy they put them in backwards. Also there is now a tear in my leather seat presumably from them sliding in and out of my car. Since couldn't get just a few bolts I had to buy a $35 set to replace the screws they didn't put in. They also regurgitated what I told them when he picked up my car proving he didn't listen to a word I said (not like I'm a "machanic"). Also on a side note as he was ringing me out for their "repairs" another employee was backing an SUV out to which he said "are you taking it for a test drive? Let me do it I have to get some things for the wife" meaning they use vehicles they're repairing for personal errands. All in all they're a bunch of backyard mechanics playing shop. I will never take any vehicle there ever again & would never recommend anyone go there; horrible customer service, treated me like dirt and charged me for it. Worst "shop" I've ever been to; would give 0 stars if it would let me.

This is the ONLY place in Beaver County that I trust to take all of my cars. They know their stuff. They're often busy because they are so good but communicate with them and you are golden!

Been going to these guys for 25 or 30 years. They have always been professional and fair with their pricing. I highly recommend them. One of the few honest mechanics around.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

You want attitude this is the place to go. I have never been more disrespectful as a female by a tow truck driver in my life. I called multiple times to get my car out of impound. All he could do is give me the run around with attitude. Wouldnt let me talk and then preseated to hang up on me. I understand the fact that I did something wrong.BUT in no way should I be lectured by this prick because I made a mistake. I am not a child or even someone that likes him. Its called being a professional maybe someone should teach him that! NEVER WILL I EVER TAKE MY VECHILES HERE!!!!!!! Maybe the owners need to take more time with their employee and teach them customer service. You dont need a phd to be a tow truck driver!!!!
