The owner Greg Gladin picked me up and towed my car to his shop where it was repaired with minimal delay and for a decent price. He also made sure the repair fixed the problem. It's easy to see why he and his wife have been in business for over 40 years.

Greg, Connie & their staff are very kind, caring and trustworthy. They go above and beyond in taking care of their customers. They had to keep my car for the whole day for service so Connie took me to an appointment then came back to pick me up took me home. Later in the day they brought my car to my house all at no extra charge. The were very reasonable in their charges.Services: Tires, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment

I couldn't be more happy with the type of service I received. When I first contacted the shop, Connie was very helpful and explained my options on how to get the vehicle to the shop due to a pedal assembly issue. I also contacted several Ford dealerships because the issue was due to a recall on the vehicle, they were rude and not willing to help. Greg at Gladwin Automotive didn't give up on me and he did everything he could to repair the issue without me having to pay a high price. I was about to give up and even had a tow truck on hold to deliver the vehicle to my house. Greg contacted me and stated that they were able to fix the issue for a small cost. I couldn't be more grateful. They really do care about the customer's interest. Thank you Connie and Greg, you both are amazing!!

I went in for an oil change and ended up paying $118 because they added antifreeze as a "courtesy" but charged me an extra $22 without my consent or asking me first. And I've had oil changes before at Gladin Automotive before without a shop supply and hazardous material fee. Unfair and untrustworthy.

This shop took my mom s lug nuts off her tires to work on her brakes and didn t put them back on and when my mom noticed it and contacted the shop they tried to get her to purchase new ones for $75 from Ford when they re $17 on Amazon AND they lost them! My mom or my family will NOT be bringing her or our car back to these people again! My mom paid $1600 for the work only for them to try to get more money out of her over they re mistake!Service: Brakes

I have a F-150 and have taken it to Gladin Automotive a handful of times in the past and the work has been excellent! We also had an issue with my wife's car with the windshield wipers not engaging and Greg came out to the parking lot and fixed it for us in less than 5 minutes. (it was a simple fix so he didn't charge us) I also have a Massey Ferguson tractor at my house that wouldn't start because of a battery issue and Greg came out and immediately noticed I had the wrong battery installed and didn't even ask for payment. (even though I tried to give him one) Everyone knows how difficult it is to find knowledgeable and honest mechanics, and we feel we found one at Gladin Automotive. Would absolutely recommend!!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Vehicle Inspection, Battery

This repair shop is amazing and always gives great service! The owner goes above and beyond to provide quality customer service. Recently I needed my car inspection done and needed additional repairs before passing inspection. The owner told me the repairs would take a few hours, and offered to drive me home to wait. Since I lived very close to the shop he took me home, completed my repairs, and came back to my house to get me when he was done. This was hands down the best service I have ever received from an auto repair shop! I will always come back to have my car serviced!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Vehicle Inspection

I had two 35-inch tires mounted and alignment completed on my gmc Sierra with a 6-inch lift. There are not many shops around that have the capability to align lifted trucks unless you go to a shop that installs a lift kit.

Great service and a very down to earth business. My breaks went out in my car on the way home from vacation. Gladin fixed my breaks after business hours so my family could continue our way home.

My fianc� and I were on our way to Canada and had an issue with our engine and EPC lights coming on. We had our 4 month old with us and ended up having to pull over during the night and stay at a hotel. Greg was extremely welcoming and made time to help us during his very busy day. He didn t make us feel like an inconvenience and made us feel safe when it came to our vehicle. This place is extremely helpful and wants to take care of their people.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

I'm pretty sure this is the garage I've been looking for. Straightforward service with strong neighborhood vibes. I met a bunch of folks, and I learned about some of the cars. I believe they are celebrating their 40th year in business this year. I'll be back.

This place is a godsend! My fiancee and I were stranded 3/4 of the way through an 8 hour trip due to issues with our rear brake shoes. Even though they were completely booked up through the following week in the midst of an end of month and holiday weekend, when hearing of our predicament there was no hesitation in seeing us right away to help out. Greg and the crew are incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even took the time to take me back into the garage while the car was on the lift so I could see and understand the issue. They don't entertain the idea of selling frivolous extra stuff just for the money. They got us up and running in a few hours and we couldn't be more grateful to have found them. If you're in this neck of the woods and having car troubles, do yourself a favor and choose this place, you will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed my visit at Gladin. They were professional and provided outstanding service. Reasonable priced and even gives military discount. Without extra charge, I recieved a dog show from the friendly store pet that was amazing. I was ready to adopt the sweet pet. I will definitely be going back for my car maintenance needs. Also love the automated service history online. Definitely useful if you plan on selling your vehicle. Good people all the way around.

We were traveling through Virginia last week when we discovered a screw in a tire. We needed to get a quick tire change and stopped in to Gladin to ask for help. The waiting room was full but we were helped right away. Everyone was so kind. They saved our day. They seemed like a family, and we would definitely return if in the area again.

So glad I found this hidden gem! A neighbor recommended Gladin Auto to me and I went in for a simple inspection after having a terrible experience at NTB waiting over 6 hours for a simple inspection. I went in and was immediately greeted. Greg told me that they were busy that day but he would squeeze me in for an inspection. He even took the time to answer some questions about a different problem I was having with my car. He even drew me a picture so I could fully understand. Best customer service I ve ever had and I will continue to come back! I would recommend this place to anyone. Greg and his wife are great and they told me to think of them as neighbors and if I had any question to just stop by. You don t get service like this anymore.

BEWARE LADIES! Called & scheduled an inspection, he told me that my light bulbs were the wrong color and failed it. Hate to think this way, but I came in without my ring on, and I think he just thought I was an easy target as a single woman. The jeep I brought for inspection is my husbands and is in full, inspection-passing condition, NO reason to fail.

Greg was the biggest help with our move! We broke down on the Highway and he did everything in his power to help us make a plan to get on our way. He worked with us and checked back in on us when we ended up with an alternative plan. Great service, kind people and overall life savers! Thank you again Greg!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Greg was so kind to me. I m new to the area so finding a new mechanic for the simplest things, such as an oil change and state inspection, can leave you spinning. When I spoke on the phone he let me know I could bring my car in and drop it off no problem. With the COVID19 issues, he had his shop entrance set up as best one could in these times to keep people safe. The key is handled minimally by using disposable plastic sandwich bags. When Greg heard I was new he welcomed me to the area and treated me neighborly. He even new the place I had moved into (yeah...he s been here a bit...lol). It was nice to meet Connie too and Sawyer. I m already feeling like family there. I look forward to a long relationship with my new mechanic.Thanks Greg.

Greg and his staff were wonderful needed an alignment and fuse they got me in and out. Gave me a vehicle to drive, curtious, friendly. From now on if I need anything done to my vehicle they will be the first people I come to see. Honest and true they are 100 percent.

Greg is a great mechanic, he doesn't nickel and dime you. He takes the time to explain what's going on with your vehicle, why, and how they're going to fix it. Not being a mechanically savvy person, this really means a lot. I appreciate the great work, friendly staff, and education. Excellent shop

Greg, Connie, and their team offer excellent, informed, professional service, and do all they can to keep your costs down while keeping your vehicle safe. After some major engine work there my used Mustang ran better than the day I bought it. And they're nice folks!

I had the misfortune of having a major breakdown on my trip from NY to Florida, but I had the greatest luck of having that breakdown right down the road from Gladin Automotive. Even with a full schedule and in the midst of the holidays and personal difficulties, Mr. Gladin took the time to help me. He explained exactly what the situation was, and worked to find a solution to get me safely back on the road toward home. He truly went above and beyond, and that is a rare thing nowadays. Many thanks, and the highest of ratings for Gladin Automotive!Service: Engine repair

Amazing place! While we were traveling, we had trouble with the car. The owner, Greg, was extremely nice, and understanding, and since we were traveling, he took care of us right away. Highly recommended, great service, and great prices.

Needed exhaust work on my 21 yr old maxima Greg took a look at it gave me a reasonable price and kept me in the loop of extra work it needed by calling me also gave me a great price with the add ons. Within a few hours my car was ready and feels great nice and quiet. Everything I wanted done on the car was taken care of. I highly recommend this establishment and will be bringing in my other vehicles for care and maintenance. Honest and straight shooter. Thx Greg and team u guys rock!!!!!!!
