I was referred to G and P Auto Repair by my boyfriend. I have gotten my breaks done on two different vehicles and I was 100% satisfied. I even forgot to put gas in my car once and they put gas in it for me when they had to do a test drive. I was quoted at a couple other places and I've saved at least $200 with in my two visits. My boyfriend is having his transmission completely rebuilt with them right now. He also has had a lot of work done on his personal vehicles and work vehicles. Breaks, smog, radiator, Air conditioner and so much more!! G and P is a one stop shop they do it all. Definitely worth trying them out!! read more

I spoke to garry about my car he was super rude. Everyone there seems so rude it's like they don't want to work they handed my keys over in pieces don't go here read more

We went to G&P for 8 years. Our cars were old, we did not have a lot of money, but at least Armand (mechanic) did good work. During that time, Gary (owner) had also been OK. When the last car we took there needed repairs that were more than the car was worth, we considered the junkyard, but one of the other mechanics offered to buy the car for the same price as the junkyard would, but needed a day or 2 to get us cash. We agreed. Somehow Gary (owner) butted in on our deal the next day when we came to collect the money (Gary was not part of the deal). Gary stated they would pay $25 less than agreed, which was $25 less than the junkyard would. It was Gary waving the cash, not the young mechanic we'd agreed to sell the car to. When we protested, Gary said we could take the car, but they had already put the car in a non-running state in the diagnosis. Gary said to take the car or his lower "offer" right then, or he would charge a storage fee for the 2 days the car had been there. We didn't see the young mechanic. When my wife and I walked off to discuss it, an apparent friend of Gary's followed and attempted to overhear what we were discussing. We were backed into a corner, poor, and basically strong-armed into taking the lower offer because it would cost more to tow the car, and it would still be broken. We don't know what got into Gary. We'd been loyal customers for 8 years, had no previous problems, yet we were cheated. The mafia would be proud. $25 is not a lot, but to us at the time, it was not insignificant. A couple of weeks later we saw the car parked in front of G&P, apparently now repaired & used by the young mechanic who had originally agreed to buy the car. We never went back and no longer recommend this place. This place would more accurately be called G & Cheat. read more

If I could zero stars I would. I recently went for a timing cover gasket replacement and once it was finished I took it out for a drive to still see an oil leak. I took it back because they "warranty" their work but I was told that it was the oil pan gasket and that they could do it for an additional 400. I thought that was bs so I went to get it looked at by two other mechanics that said it was clearly the timing cover. Not only that but when the other mechanics showed me the pricing for a timing cover replacement it should have only costed 500, they charged 800. They got me, and I really hope they don't get anyone else please consider this review read more

The place is a rip off women beware. I was in a bind and needed my A/C recharged. After $163 for a diagnosis. I was informed I need a compressor cost $900. I went to another repair shop and it was an easy fix just three seals was done in an hour passing the testing no leaks. I will never return to this shop they're crooks. Women are taken advantage at repair shops unfortunately. read more

Best auto repair shop in the Inland Empire! Period! Armon and Gary are honest, their work is excellent, and they are very fair on price. I have taken my cars here for years, as has my whole family. Do your self a favor, if you drive an old car or a new car where the factory included free maintnence period is up, start taking it to G&P. I continue to take my cars to G&P even after moving way across town! read more

I called and talked to the owner and explained what I needed done and went over that day and he looked at the car and we took it back the next morning for brake work. He also checked some other concerns we had and gave us his professional opinion on what was necessary and what wasn't in need at this time. He drove the car in order to see the performance of the brakes and determine what needed to be fixed. He also told us what other things needed to be done at another time. He's very honest and won't sell you something you don't need. I highly recommend going to this business. He also has a body shop which is great. The work was done on time as promised. I'm very pleased. This is now my go to repair shop! read more

I am still rating them a 5 star because they are good people, but their ad says : "walk ins welcome" and the last 3 times I dropped by , I got a "no, we are too busy" with no available date to bring it back. Maybe they could not give me a day they might take my car in because they were so booked??? Or... my repairs were minor (ie: took little time to fix), but.... Maybe the job wasn't cost efficient for their time and volume? Not puttin' 'em down, good people.... but... No, walk in's don't appear to be welcome. read more

Have a 2014 Ford Fusion with a blown head and took it to G&P auto. Knowledgeable mechanics diagnosed and slapped in a new engine and the car is like new! Very reasonable on price , honest guys through and through! read more

Really happy. Armondo and staff did a wonderful job with my Miata repairs. I'll be back for sure.

I just moved to riverside with my wife and i brought a car that another shop screwed up on and they fixed the other shops mistake. Truthful, smart, dependable, and kind are the words i would describe my experience! Highly recommend this shop! I will 100% be back! :) read more

I had to write a review this morning, solely based on the customer service! I am in Northern California, I called this morning about my son's car and spoke with a wonderful man name Gary. I could tell that he was really busy this morning HOWEVER, he never rushed me off the phone nor did I feel rushed! I am so grateful for people that still believe in great customer service!!!! My son will have his car there tomorrow morning. Thank you Gary, Jennifer T. read more

Honest, competent, and reasonable. That's all one really needs in a mechanic. Arman took care of me. Highly recommended.

I brought my truck here a few weeks ago to have my instrument cluster repaired, and Arman the owner did an amazing job in a timely manner. His work ethic is the best I have ever seen, he was extremely polite and helpful. He did not try and gouge me like other mechanics I have gone to in the past, you will definitely get your money's worth here. I will be a repeat customer here for a long time. read more

Good people ,dedicated to quality service , true journeymen in the trade of automotive mechanics.

This shop is reliable, and above all HONEST! Their always extremely busy so always call for an appointment. Gary, and Arman are both very knowledgeable and have always kept my many vehicles in Tip-Top shape read more

Probably the best place to repair your automobile Been going there for years and the owners are very helpful. Prices are beyond fair... read more

Armand and Gary and the rest of the guys at G&P are great. I work at another local shop down the street that only does foreign cars. When i have clients with domestics or in need of a smog we always send them to G&P. They pride themselves in doing things right and being honest, the way all shops should be. If you need work done on your car, go see G&P A+++ quality and service. The best in the business hands down. read more

I have been struggling with an engine idle problem for a couple of years, pouring money and parts into it with no luck and high frustration! It was intermittent and every time I thought I had solved it, back it came! So, with the engine light still on and often dying at a stop sign, and my DMV renewal smog-check due, I took it to G & P Auto in hopes of getting it solved. They did the job, fixed it right and now it is running like new! I waited a couple of months before writing this review just to make sure it was really fixed. Done! Yes, I would certainly recommend these guys for any auto repair you need!!!! read more

Everything the other reviews said. Fast and affordable. They had a thorough knowledge of my vehicle and what the issues were. Fast turnaround and didn't break the bank. Detail: 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with the 3.8 supercharger. Radiator leak due to plastic tubing that was fixed 6 months prior by a less reputable garage. They understood the part needed to be repaired with stronger materials and took care of it in about 3 hours for around $150. Very happy read more

I'm apprehensive to trusting auto mechanics and haven't done so since 04, however, i'll take my car here willingly now. My car wouldn't run so i had to push it to here, the nearest place. The repairs needed were just and reasonably priced. I also received phone calls at every stage of the process; diagnosis, repair, result. The guy even worked with me when i came up short. Highly recommended! read more

I had this shop rebuild the engine on my 02 Subaru wrx after it blew a piston. Spent roughly $4,500. This was a good price considering the dealership estimated a minimum of $6,000 for a new block, timing belt, etc. Ran good for about 3k miles. Normal things that break after a rebuild needing replacing and they fixed it free of charge which was great. I only had to buy a few parts. Flash forward another 1k miles and a knock can be heard from the engine bay on a cold start up. It remained somewhat consistent even at operating temp at low speeds in first gear or reverse. I took it in to have them look at it. Instead of hearing the knock they heard an exhaust leak that took 4 days to fix. I never actually OK'd this repair. Low and behold they hear the knock the day I am about to pick up the car. The original problem (knocking noise) was never resolved. The valve cover gaskets were replaced twice: once when the car was rebuilt and about 2500 miles after because they started leaking and smoking. When they did the exhaust repair, they took off the valve cover gasket again but did not replace it correctly. As I drove away, the car started smoking. Valve cover gasket needs replacing AGAIN for a third time. Bottom line: the rebuild took about 2 1/2 months. Almost every repair after that took an average of 5 days for jobs that are typically 4-8 hours. Knock is still there. Car smokes because of oil leaks. $4,500 and 4 months later I'm still left with a motor that is leaking oil and has a knock. I have no choice but to take my business elsewhere and take the loss (seeing that I might have to rebuild/replace the engine again) or sell the car for less than half its value. It is simply not working out with this shop and I can't justify going back after all of this. It's one thing to have great customer service, it's another to get the job done right. I can't recommend this shop after what I've been through. Good luck. read more

The ONLY thing I do NOT like about these guys is that they aren't in the High Desert where I live. I was looking at a used truck through Craig's list. I took the truck to these guys because they were close to the seller's house.They got me right in... NO wait... and started looking at the truck. Within minutes, they warned me that the truck would be a money pit. They cautioned against buying it. THEN... they didn't charge me... and wouldn't even take a TIP!! Extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and able to explain things to a non-mechanic. While waiting, I talked with an older gentleman who was there for service. He told me he never takes his vehicles anywhere else! Fantastic shop!. Don't be fooled by the exterior... these guys ROCK!! read more

G & P is one of the best auto repair shops out there..Arman is honest and the nicest man. I would not take my car anywhere else.

Watch out at this place. Son went there they told him his car was smoking so bad it couldn't be fixed wanted a 100.00$ for that. Took the car to a new place 50.00$ the car was fixed and even passed smog son is driving car everyday and the car never smoked or burned oil still is driving the car today still running no problems same engine. 15 years ago they said my car a different car needed a carb in order to pass smog they did not know I was a mechanic took car to a different place it passed fine Then found out they turned my car in as a gross polluter I didn't want to give then and 1 star but I had too they are only looking to make money not fix your car they are the same owners. read more

Honest service. Good guys. If you need repairs with your smog check this is the place to go!

These guys are the best. They do excellent work at at a very reasonable price. They are always busy so give them plenty of time to work on your vehicle if possible. If you're in a bind and need it done quick, they will do their best to get you going. I recommend them to everyone I know. read more

They are the best auto shop in Riverside! They will try to get the job done quickly if possible and won't cut corners trying to do so. They will also be straightforward with you and let you know what options you may have and what they would decide to do if they were in your position. They are very affordable and do the job right! We've been taking our vehicles for years and our kids take their vehicles to G & P also! read more

Absolutely! Great owner and assistant. Very attentive quick and kind. Would definitely recommend anyone to go there!

I was very impressed with this auto repair shop, they are close to my home which was very convenient. Gary was very honest with explaining exactly what was wrong with my car. Thank you for the great service. read more

With all of the so called honest mechanics out there I haven't found a more honest one than this shop. If you bring it in for one thing they do an inspection and they let you know that this ir that should be fixed ONLY if you want to. They aren't pushy what so ever. They want you to have a safe ride. This is one of those shops that will let you go to the rack and look at your car while the work is being done. Good honest workmanship. read more

I was referred here by my mom for auto repair. She has very high standards. She was right. Gary and Arman are the best, most honest mechanics around. They only fix what needs to be fixed. They give recommendations but are never pushy. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else. If you are looking for honesty, superb customer service and quality work, look no further. Thank you G & P for taking such good care of my vehicles. read more

I read about this shop on Yelp so I decided to try them out. I was greeted promptly and made to feel like my business was important to them. They quickly tested my car and I was on my way in less than half hour. I will recommend them to my friends! read more

Called this store about changing my rear breaks . They were in really bad shape. Gary helped us out and fixed them and gave us a reasonable price. Cheapest place in town. Very nice place and they are very trustworthy. Would definitely come back to this shop again. Thanks again Gary read more

5 stars for a reason. Superb customer service and no delay. Come here for a Smog test.

Came here for a smog test and and couldn't be more pleased with my choice! A nice gentlemen took my car in right away. My smog test was done in less than 20 minutes. Info was sent electronically to the DMV. Paid my $50.00 and I was done. Thank you for being friendly and wonderful at what you do, staff of G&P Auto!!! read more

I definitely recommend G&P Auto Repair for great customer service! Gary is very personable and talkative ;) I ended up talking to him the whole time my car was being smogged, very nice guy. His technician who performed my smog check (I did not get his name) was also very nice. The service was fast! It only took about 20 min. The price was good as well :) I paid around $60 the last time I had my car smogged, but here it was only $40. I will definitely be back in 2 years when my car needs another smog! Maybe even before then, since they also do general repair. read more

My car died on me after I bought new battery. I brought it at G & P auto repair. Gary was so polite and very professional after an hour I was done. He told me it's the alternator. I call other places and they charging me arm and leg. When I went to G & P they're very honest and prices is very good. From now on this is the only place I will go to. Thanks to all the staff at G&P especially Gary. read more

I was completely satisfied with my smog check service that I received today. The location is off the beaten path but worth the time. They were extremely courteous especially considering the fact that I asked for a smog check so late in the day. Will definitely be taking my vehicles here for service! read more

I needed to replace the timing belt in my 2000 camry. Found this place on yelp and called in and was quoted a price of 525, a good bit lower than other places I called. They also said they would use original toyota parts,which I really liked, unlike other places. So I decided to give them a shot, and do not regret it at all. Brought my car in at 8am, had it back by 1:30pm. These guys know what they're doing, and are definitely honest and not shady like other mechanics. Best thing was, when my car was ready, I paid exactly what I was quoted, 525! They didn't even charge me tax. I will definitely be coming back here if I need anything fixed/replaced in my car again. read more
