I have been a satisfied customer of Gil's since around 2016ish, and I even drive out of my way to do business there now, since I live/work farther away. I will continue to drive out of my way to do business with them because they are honest, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. Prices and labor are very reasonable for this area, and they often give coupons as well as loaner cars for longer repairs.
I have owned two different cars since 2016 that have been serviced by Gil's, for both small and major repairs, and I am convinced that it is due to their excellent technicians and care that my last car lasted for 15 years! When it was time to get a new car Adam took time out of his day to give me advice on my next car. Both Barbara and Adam are wonderful and incredibly helpful if ever you have a question about car maintenance. If you need a trustworthy place to bring your car, I can say with 100% certainty that you will be in excellent hands here.

No matter what our problem is with our 2008 Ford Focus, or even if it is a routine oil change, they are kind courteous and accommodating. Excellent knowledge of automobiles and reasonably priced. They do offer loaner cars if needed. They are so very customer service oriented. They have one of the most cleanest mechanic shops I have ever been to. Both my daughter and I are more than pleased with the kind and friendly customer service. We have used Gills for years now and do not plan on going anywhere else. Highly recommend them.

Used Gill's Automotive to do 3k Oil and Service on my Camry HYB. The car runs great with no issues. I will be using them again for my another car. They are accommodating and allow you to schedule and flexible enough. Definitely recommend!

I would start with "Thanks Adam and team"! This was my first visit to the workshop. There was issue with engine light staying on. Gone now. Fixed within reasonable time. As I understand, they also reached out to Nissan as part of their diagnosis process. Glad, Costco chose them as one of the recommended service station. Good luck for the future, Adam!

I've been taking my vehicles to Adam at Gill's Automotive for over 5 years and have always received excellent service, solid repairs, and good advice. Quotes always match the finale repair bill, sometimes less. I would give a 5-Star rating for Adam and his team. Service: A/C installation & repair

They were great, ordered my tires and got them installed in just a few days. Gave me a free loaner while they did the install and looked into a problem I was having which turned out to be a recall item. They printed the info I needed for me to easily follow up with the dealership and have it fixed. Highly recommend them, very cordial and honest!
