He figured out my brake/tail-light issues which were not mere burt bulb problems in under 30 minutes. I kept replacing blown circuit boards every so often and nobody else could find the root of the problem or care to find out. Highly recommend

Great work. If you have any problems with wiring or electrical issues this place. Gary is wonderful and this place is affordable. I've been going there for about 20yrs. I drove from Nashville to get my car worked on. I highly recommend.

So, my car kept stalling and it was a miracle it wasn't in front of a truck or any traffic, so i was just asking if the mechanic could check it. He thought it was the battery the first time and tightened the cablefor 20$, which was fine.It finally stalled where i knew i was notgoing to take anymore chances and i asked for his feedback.He said " it must be the alternator and i can do for 460 to rebuild or more to buy a one .." I said just check and please call before begin any work as it may not be the issue." He agreed, and i called from work as i was trying to decide what was best. He yelled as i didnt want to pay for what wasnt the cause of the stalling. He told me togive him, actually demanded $180 and he would let me get it towed somewhere else, as there was oil on the alternator causing it issues, according to him.I should have done that, as i said ifthe alternator is good then let mehave my car. In the middle of work and his not being kind, i felt i was being intimidated, so i asked for a warranty and to fix it, for 460? He said fine. On pick up, since he only takes cash, he was needing to hold my phone or and other items, as collatoral after a long day of teaching.I went to get the cash and my car was making all kinds of noises. He took the money, which seems to be truly unparalleled to most 2024 businesses, who would hope to keep a customer;( I will never go back, but will ask Mr. Cool on Kingston pike for his expert precision to take over). This happened on a Thursday. The following morning, Friday, my car died again as i was coming out of a busy area, so Gabby's sent me back to be in harm's, way as well as others. I called Gabbys and their response was " oh well".. " zero care for taking 500 of my teacher pay for NOTHING.Thankfully, i called and went to Mr Cool who has amazing staff who used their computers to assess the cause of the stalling. The camshaft was the reason, which was communicates with something that stops stalls. He did it for 263. He also fixed the oil leak and they are an amazing family, which I plan to also review.May people find kind professionals whodont yell andtake 500 for zero help, and actually harmful work, not work except yelling.

They really know what they're doing when it comes to rebuilding your alternator , they rebuilt mine 3 years ago and it's still working like a new one .I really recommend going there if you need a alternator fixed and fixed right !

I stopped by this shop for the first time today. They were very kind, knowledgable, and helpful even though I came in without an appointment or a prior call, they even went out of their way to help me out. Wishing I could have given them more of my business, but I will be a returning customer for any future alternator or various electrical needs, and will highly recommended this shop to anyone else. Support your local businesses like them.Thank you Gabby's crew.

Gary was so helpful! The alternator was to far gone to rebuild, and he got on the phone and found me a replacement locally. Saved me so much money... If you have any alternator problems Gabby's is your place!! Thank you guys for all of your help.

I trusted gabby and when he passed his partner took it over thank goodness just like it s been for at least 40 years.. honest hard working and fair you won t find many of these independent special places still around so if you have any electrical charging issues take it where they build them using the highest quality windings higher output than you can buy at big box stores you never have to worry about warranty from gabby s they stand behind there work it ll be the last alternator you ll have to buy for your vehicle the work is that good.

They fixed my headlight in less than 20 minutes. These guys know their stuff. They don't accept card, so come with cash in hand.

We just had our old sequoia that my son drives sent to Gabbys and no one else could fix it. He found the wiring har was and figured out all the wires had melted together under the passenger side of the car. He worked many hours on it to figure it out. My husband said the price Gabbys charged was dirt cheap compared to what anybody else would ve charged us. Gabby even said no one else probably would ve fooled with it or possibly even been able to find the problem(which was the case with the other places we had the vehicle checked).I am thrilled he fixed it and didn t charge an arm and a leg. He was super nice and honest also!

Man. I'd be friends with these dudes in real life. If only we lived nearby. Thinking about moving to be closer to them so we could hang out together. Talk about awesome .. Imagine a hot summer day... Swinging on the swing set with these fellas ... Laughing and throwing rocks at passing cars together ... Shooting the breeze. I tell ya... That's the good life.Btw, thanks for fixing my alternator. You bros awesome!! For reals.

I have nothing to say but good things about this place. I own a struggling business (through this whole Pandemic and economic downturn) and with my van having ignition problems, I was expecting to have to pay a fortune to get it back up and running. However, Gary not only fixed my problem at a VERY affordable cost, but the turn around was the next day! And dealing with Gary, I would say he's the gold standard for ANY type of problems pertaining to starters and alternators with automobiles. This place will have my business for life.

They were very respectful, very reasonable. But most of all I've not had any problems out of my car. Top rate service. Saved me over $100.00

Just good people plain and simple.My battery died several days in a row. AutoZone told me it was my alternator. Based off a friend's recommendation, I dropped it off at Gabby's. They kept it for 2 days trying to recreate the issue. They could have easily installed a new alternator or rebuilt mine, but they chose to do the right thing and told me everything is fine (which it has been for a week now).I will always be a return customer at places that treat me well. They barely charged me anything at all.

Called about my starter and tried to describe my issue he asked to bring it by so he could get a good look At it. Got there and was a little sketched out by the building met by Wes and explaind my issue and he immediately put it up on the bench and checked it out. Opened it up and checked it out right after that and found that the fingers that retract the gear were broken. Asked if I was in a hurry for it and I told him no. Hes said give me a minute I may have the part to fix it and if I dont I can have in and fixed tomorrow. Within minutes he found what was needed to repair it and put it back together. Retested it and I was out the door for a fraction of what a new one would have cost me!!!!! Very friendly. Carried a conversation with me the whole time. In and out in less than 30 minutes!!!!! Definitely worth it. Will 100% return for next starter rebuild!!!!

I highly recommend this shop. Gary was honest and the service was fast. Same day. Though my starter was economically beyond repair Gary set me up with a perfect replacement. Obvoiusly there are many options when it comes to starters. Gabby's shop had the best recommendation.

These guys are amazing. They do super-fast, super-competent, super-cheap electrical and alternator work of all kinds, and to boot, they are pleasant to deal with and completely honest. The storefront is not much to look at, that's for sure. But personally, I'd rather save that money in overhead.I took my car in today, it was done in 2 hours, and the gentleman even went so far as to *come pick me up* since I'd had to bike all the way home after dropping the car off. Gabby's can't be beat in Knoxville!

If you have to charge a potential customer just to quote them a price, then you need to give them advance notification of that charge. Be prepared to pay a minimum of $120/hr for labor and then get condescending responses if you question the cost you weren't notified about in advance.
