I've been going to the Tire Place for years. Originally for routine oil changes and my yearly…read morestate inspections, and now for all my car related stuff, and I've always had a great experience. Cathy is incredibly honest, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond for her customers. As a woman, I've definitely felt taken advantage of by other mechanics in the past, so finding someone I can truly trust means a lot to me. I recently had a strange issue with my car where the check engine light kept staying on. Cathy's team did multiple checks, over multiple days, and eventually solved the problem for me, at an incredibly reasonable price. What I appreciate most is that I never feel like I'm being scammed or pushed into unnecessary repairs. I genuinely trust Cathy and her team with my car, and that is not something I take lightly. She is honest, reliable, and clearly cares about doing the right thing for her customers. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a mechanic you can actually trust.

If I could give them negative stars I would. These guys shouldn't be offering powdercoating…read moreservices - they seem valid at providing quick tire fixes or replacement options. They are outsourcing the work and not even remotely worrying about the quality of the finished product. Their solution to a bad finish is "we can take em back and redo them". Nah fam - my time is way too valuable to be messing with you guys and this redo stuff. This review is based on few things: + they are going to tell you they can turn them around in 1 day... it's a scam to make you think they are going to be of high quality. + the first time they turned them around I noticed lots of running paint that was dried up. + they claim that nobody powdercoats the outer barrel of the wheel yet they advertise wheels that are fully powder coated inside and out. They literally gave me back two tone gradient wheels and didn't bat an eyelash -- the audacity + on the redo I gave them ample time to make sure they provided me with a high quality job only to receive a job worst than the first job. + $150.00 to repair rashed/bent wheel + powdercoat seemed pricey.... For the quality of work, I'd pay $50/wheel -- I'm being generous with that number. These wheels make me want to vomit + take a look at the images I posted so you can get a good idea of the amount of blemishes on these newly refinished (x2) wheels. $653.02 after tax for this job. I'd rather pay a fifth grader this money to give me a splatter job with house paint lol. I'm laughing straight to the bank with this one... can anyone say CHARGEBACKKK?!?!

As far back as I can recall, while I was in grammar school and high school, I was out making money…read more You actually needed Working Papers back then to be employed to prove that you were 16 years old, I remember them as being yellow in color and thick with corrugation. I was now eighteen, perhaps ninteen and took as many shifts at Gunral during high school into college as possible and my grades didn't suffer -- yea right, weekends were magical to me in my late teens years and I always had spending cash. Gunther and Ralph were so kind to me, treated me so we'll never uttering a harsh word not even in the heat of a moment. So when I grew on in years and life, I knew that Gunral was to be my mechanic shop of choice. Ralph with his booming voice always greeted me, put his head under the hood no matter how busy he was and told me quickly the problem and what the bill would likely be and was always spot on. Trust me when I tell you that I've bought a quite a few jalopies in my day and each one needed the occasional professional touch, not the back yard mechanic "beat it with a hammer" approach. I've recommended Gunral to people that ask if I know a mechanic in that area that is reasonable and honest and will continue to do so in full confidence.

Update: under new ownership. Idk anything about them…read more Old review: Let me first start off by saying that I have had many bad experiences with other mechanics in the area. I've been ripped off, talked down to, and sometimes leave with more problems then I originally had to begin with. I was recommended to go see "Ralph and Gunther" by a friend as they've been in business for over 40 years, and are notorious within the community. Needless to say, I was skeptical, but decided to take my car there for an inspection-- just to see if they really checked out. I talked to Ralph personally, and seemed really down to earth and honest about the business he runs, and definitely posses a plethora of knowledge about his craft. He identified an issue that arose when he scanned my vehicle, and was completely honest about it, and even told me that the problem was related to the transmission-- an area which he sends his customers to a reputable specialist. Considering that this has been something new I didn't know previously, I inquired as to what the previous mechanics did that made the code go away. Without hesitation, Ralph explained to me that it is easy to clear those codes and proceed to find alternative methods to charge unknowing customers whatever they want for an issue that was never resolved. Here, he told me the truth. Here, I came out knowing the reality of the business of auto repair, and without spending a dime extra. The experience I had here was all I could've asked for. My skepticism I had originally was completed eradicated through how thorough and honest my encounter was with a man with over 40 years of experience in the business. To that I thank Ralph dearly, and would encourage anyone else to TRUST these men here as truly look out for their customers first and foremost.
