I took the car to the Subaru dealer for inspection previously and was told the loud noise we have…read morehad since we got the car was just part of driving a Subaru - they're loud. Not so. We brought the car into Gorman's for a brake and rotor repair (far cheaper than Subaru), and mentioned the noise offhand. Aaron took it for a quick drive and knew right away that at least one of the wheel bearings was causing the noise and needed repair. He suggested we get it done since the brakes were being done anyway and it would save us money. Our car has never been this quiet! I am blown away. Brakes are working great, too. We were going to walk back to get the car, but instead Aaron picked us up downtown! He also told us about some really beautiful places to go walking in nature that we hadn't heard of as we are new to the area. Honest prices, sharp mechanics, nice people. We'll be back!

I was told this was a good garage - honest. That is important as I have little mechanical ability…read moreand rely on having an honest garage. I like keeping my cars in shape and wanted to find a local garage that I could go to for regular maintenance and the odd repair. I get frequent oil changes and listen to my mechanics advise on keeping up with filters, checking hoses, tires etc...for wear and replace asap to be safe. I am a good customer to have - and only ask for an honest garage. I called for brakes and gave the information they asked I was told they would look it up and call me back. No one called, I waited I waited. I then called and left a voice message asking if they had the quote. No one called back. Well their behavior speaks volumes to me about reliability.

We've been to Grease Monkey twice for inspection stickers now, the most recent time being the last…read moretime for sure. During our first visit in November, I brought my wife's car in for an inspection. The technician told me we needed new wiper blades or the car would fail the inspection. Surprised, I asked, "Really?" to which he replied, "That's what I said." I didn't catch his name, as they don't wear uniforms, but he was young, scruffy-looking, and lacked any personality--that's the best I can do to describe him. My options were to accept a rejection sticker, buy wiper blades from an auto parts store, replace them myself, and return for a re-inspection, or give in to their upselling extortion and let them replace the blades. Wanting to get on with my day, I opted for the latter. The final bill for the inspection and wiper blades? $115. The second visit was in December when I brought my truck in for an inspection. The process took just 11 minutes. During that time, I witnessed a heated dispute between the same younger technician from the previous visit and an older fellow who looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and hadn't had his coffee or cigarette yet. He wasn't exactly the ideal customer-facing representative. Another customer and I watched and listened as the two argued, slamming tools and doors while hollering at each other. It was an impressive display of unprofessionalism. Watching this, I realized why I'd been upsold during my previous visit--they likely don't get many returning customers. When the inspection was done, I noticed one thing: unless the inspection process had changed, they didn't check my horn, which is a loud airhorn that you would definitely hear and I was waiting to hear. So visually, it seemed to pass. The older technician then came in and, in one breath, told me my brakes had "barely passed" inspection and offered to replace them - I did humor him by asking for the price, he said $1,200, thanked him, paid the woman at the counter, and left. The kicker? My brakes had less than 3,000 miles on them as I had front/back brakes replaced in October by the garage just up the street. So not sure (I am sure) what shenanigans were in play with that one. Maybe whatever part of the inspection that isn't done by the diagnostic machine is done visually and he just has bad eyesight.
