Frank holds high standards of service, knowledge and hard work and he insists on the same for his employees. His prices are fair, he's honest and his education is extremely impressive. After I totaled my car frank helped me choose one without hesitation (probably because I kept bringing my choices to him only to have him say NO YO ). After more than a decade of trusting my car and safety with Gateway and thanks to Franks help ... I finally purchased a new car and it Looks like I'll be a loyal customer forEVER The shop is open Mon thru Fri and his prices remain very fair. END UPDATE For years I have been able to rely on and trust the staff of Gateway Automotive. Today when my car died outside of the library I called the shop and Ryan assured me that if I towed it over they would take care of it so I did. I was immediately greeted by the staff and Ryan went straight to work. The problem was diagnosed and repaired in less than 2 hours. He was direct, accurate and incredibly helpful. I am grateful for his hard work. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I ALWAYS recommend this shop for the fact that they've never been wrong and have always been honest. Many times I've sent my friends to Gateway for second opinions and nearly every time their diagnosis was on point and way more affordable. It's hard to find an honest mechanic in this town... Gateway fills that need

Why is the owner not supervising these young technicians? They have very little experience and should be supervised by experienced in licensed mechanics. When I picked up my vehicle, the alignment seemed way off. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the work they performed, but they certainly took the two front rims and tires off the vehicle. All I can tell you is my steering wheel was jiggly back & forth driving over 60mph. As a result, I have to take my suv to a tire shop for a wheel alignment. Another $100 bucks.

My insurance company ended up totaling my car and he agreed to purchase the car on a salvaged title. The insurance company paid him for the tow, storage and the estimate. I paid him my deductible.

The Process Server served him this morning and he claimed to not know who I am. I'm very prepared for court.

Please , do yourself a favor and read & BELIEVE the reviews before you do business with this guy. I…read morewish I would have listened to my 1st instinct and believed the reviews myself but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. He arrived an hour late and when he arrived he was talking about a whole different job until I told him I needed an alternator replacement. He then apologize and said he had this job confused for his 2nd job of the day. He was here for almost 8 hours in total. For those 8 hours he was here, he had trouble getting the part out. Every time I came out to check he would make a different excuse. He initially told us it would be a 45 min job. The last hour he was here he was released gas and told us it was illegal for him to be releasing it but he had too. He then said he had to go to the store for a few items. He told me he "knicked" a wire on accident and had to replace it but that it always has to be done and it was normal. Once he left we went outside and our hood was closed and he took all his tools with him. We immediately knew something was up because the last times he left to the store, he always left his tools. My husband immediately noticed the hood of our car was now closed and opened it to see what was going on. He didn't "knick" anything. He completely cut off a whole wire that had nothing to do with what he was doing or even close to what he was doing. It was a wire the car needed to even start. An hour passes by and he never shows back up. The old alternator was still in our car. We immediately called another mechanic to come by since we needed our car done . When the other mechanic got here and looked at the car he was in disbelief. He said he never ever seen another "mechanic" do what he was looking at. Not only was a wire completely cut off, the radiator hose was always cut several times and drained out. He was in disbelief and said he did more damage to the car then then anything. He couldn't understand why he continued to rip unnecessary parts out and cut them. He gave us a quote and once we agreed for a time for him to come back, he also let us know the alternator we paid mason for , was not the right one. We called o'rileys to see if we could exchange it and they couldn't even find a receipt with his number or any account with his info on it. We are now having to pay for his mistakes and negligence. We had a feeling this was going to happen but we gave him the benefit of the doubt. Even though he got dropped off and didn't have his own vehicle. Even though he confused this job for another. Even though he didn't have the right tools. He will not answer any of our calls or messages. I am writing this review in hopes someone else doesn't have to go through , what we are going through. He will cut random wires and hoses and then just leave. We will be reporting him to the state and take him to small claims. STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY ANY BUSINESS, NONE! READ THE REVIEWS! Thankful we found an honest mechanic who is motivated to get our car up and running!

I was driving to the store in the afternoon when I heard meowing coming from inside my car. I pulled over to try finding the source of the noise, and sure enough a kitten had crawled up under my car and gotten itself stuck. I went to Lander Auto and Hilda immediately put my car on the lift and began the rescue mission. 45 mins later, she was able to retrieve the kitten unharmed. You could tell she had done this before and cared about the animal getting out safely. Now here is the best part. They refused to take any payment. Hilda said they were just happy to rescue an animals life and it was the right thing to do. We took pictures and she had me out of there with my new kitten in no time. Such kindhearted professional people. I won't ever go anywhere else to service my car. Attached are pictures of the kitten we saved.

Gary quickly determined the problem but unfortunately due to the changing relationship between GM, Allison, and Workhorse, finding the part we needed was difficult - especially because we were in the middle of a holiday week. Paula was relentless in trying to locate the part, making phone calls to anyone and everyone she thought could help - she even called the VP of Allison! To say the team at Mello Transmission went above and beyond to help us get back on the road is a massive understatement. They provided the absolute best customer experience and their kindness will never be forgotten. We were so thankful to have found them and are so incredibly appreciative of the way they made a really bad situation more tolerable because they were working so hard to help us.

This was one of the few times that I had used Yelp's project feature to find a mechanic. Robles's auto repair was the quickest to reply and also ended up having one of the most competitive prices. Using the project feature of Yelp allowed me to stay in constant communication with Gabriel. I was kept abreast of the repairs on my vehicle and they even stuck around a little after hours to make sure I could get my car after the repairs were done. That Stockton traffic can be a doozy. The issue with my vehicle was a leak in the radiator that Mercedes said would cost $2400 to repair at the dealership, but with Robles's auto repair, I was able to do it for under $800. The parts in general are not what's expensive just my model and Mercedes has a lot of pieces that have to be removed to get access to the radiator. Now my car is running great and I should be good for a long time. If you're looking for a family run business, this is your next stop for your engine, rebuild transmission, rebuild, and general automotive repairs

Robles Auto Repair delivers exactly what most shops promise and few actually provide: reliability,…read moreprofessionalism, and fair pricing. From the very first message, their responsiveness stood out. Communication was prompt, clear, and respectful, which immediately set the tone for the experience. That professionalism carried through every step, from the initial contact to dropping off our Escalade for new brakes and rotors. The shop itself isn't flashy, and that turns out to be part of its charm. What it lacks in frills, it more than makes up for in competence and integrity. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and straightforward, with no upselling or pressure. Most importantly, the work was completed exactly when they said it would be, something that feels increasingly rare in auto repair. The quality of service paired with the best price we found made this an easy win. Robles Auto Repair proves that excellent service doesn't need a fancy showroom, just honesty, skill, and respect for the customer's time. Highly recommended.
