These guys are good. Ken will take care of you. Good honest service. I highly recommend.

Pandemic; but this staff will move your car gloveless and maskless. Amazing how little consideration they have and refused when asked due to autoimmune condition. Gross. read more

I had a problem with the tire on my Z for it kept coming low so I try taking it to tracks where they told me I couldn't get in there for two days so I looked online and found these folks had the equipment to work on a run flat tire which is what you have with a Z4 so I went over there and sat and read my book for 20 minutes and they found there was stuff on the rim that was making it leak they fixed it put it back on charge me 25 bucks and I was out the door such a good place and I'll go back read more

I am not being honest by rating with one star. In truth , they earned less than zero . I took the vehicle in for a oil change, waited for the door to open and a thin pony tailed guy had a BAD attitude from the get go. I noticed the shop help was acting like they were all on some kind of dope, and looking at the cell phones a lot, not working. Not a friendly place to go, and will take my business elsewhere from now on. A person just wants to get their vehicle taken care of, NOT go to the zoo. Acted as though they were doing me a BIG favor. Do yourself a big favor, STAY AWAY. read more

I was next door at the oil change facility and the pleasure meeting with Mike he was very professional and I will go back there soon with my other Vehicles! They even washed my front window. read more

Gamboa's has beeen in Mokena for a long time, and has a sterling reputation. From my experience it is well deserved. Fast, Friendly, Honest and Good is how I would describe their work. Next door, they have an oil change operation, which is much better than any other in town. The best repair shop I have found in Illinois, only problem is they like to call after the repair to see if you were satisfied. read more

Have been bringing our vehicles to Gamboa's for 20 years now. They are friendly, honest, thorough and affordable. We are so thankful we can bring our cars here where I know they can be taken care of and I'm not going to get ripped off read more

Went in for an estimate to replace an oil pan, the mechanic told me $700 as he was laughing. I ended up finding a place that did it for $260. Gamboa's is a complete rip off! read more

Have been going to Gamboa's for many years. Always honest and great work! Will definitely continue to bring our cars to Ken! Very nice and dependable people to do business with! Thank you! read more

October 2018 I took my car to Gamboas and they put Brake Pads and Rotors on front and back. The car is driven 10 miles to/from work and a few weekly errands around Mokena. I've put 12,000 miles on the car since the brakes and rotors were replaced. I took the car back in this week to Mikes Auto Service to be told I needed Brakes and Rotors again because Gamboas didn't do the job properly! Gamboas left the hub and mounting bracket full of rust decaying the rotors they replaced. Broke a screw off while trying to replace and overall just did a terrible job. Rotors are supposed to last 50,000-70,000 miles! Do Not go to GAMBOAS! Rip-Off and con artists! Save yourself a headache and a lot of money and take your car to Mike's Auto Service. Jim is professional, honest and fair - won't rip you off like GAMBOAS! read more

Quick and friendly service, very efficient and extremely trustworthy. I religiously take my car here for oil changes, tire issues,etc. Only reason why they don't get a 4 or 5 star rating is the last couple times I brought my car in for a synthetic oil change it was $53 and they marked that they completed a handful of things that they actually did not do. read more

I took my 90 year old mother's ten year old car in today because it needed a new minor part. While there my mom wanted them to check the rest of the car to see if anything else needed to be done. She thought the car might need new tires. I worked with Ken and told him my mom wanted everything checked out. He couldn't have been nicer and after waiting only one hour for them to replace the part and check out the car entirely he told me she didn't need new tires just some air and they changed the oil. The entire bill was only $130 INCLUDING the $80.00 part. If Ken had come out and said we needed four new tires and a bunch of other fixes I would have said to go ahead. You can 100% trust Gamboa's and that's why mom has been bringing her car there for years. My appointment was at 2pm and I was out of there by 3:10pm. The entire team is so nice and efficient--we highly recommend them. read more

This is for the service and not the oil change place next door. I've used Gamboa's many times with several vehicles. They always save me money and do an excellent job. Ken is a great person to work with, he knows his stuff, and he's honest. Always provides options to keep the work within your budget. Recommended! read more

I needed brakes. So I called the dealer and asked how much? No need to go there. I called Gamboas and they quoted a fair price. I prefer to support local business. I set the appointment and they said they would be done in the afternoon but will call when done. Everything went great good service, on time, reasonable prices and close to home. They also have a quick change oil which is also far cheaper than the dealer. My car has a new doctor. read more

TERRIBLE customer service. We made an appointment over a week in advance, dropped our car off the night before the appt... and at 3:30 the next day WE called for an update and they had not even run diagnostics yet. The manager was rude and unapologetic that the repair would not be done until the following day, and did not feel we deserved a prior heads-up that they were running behind. I was not asking for a miracle, only a common courtesy phone call so that I could make other transportation arrangements to get to work the next day. He refused to even make eye contact when we went back for the keys. They lost a long-time customer simply because of their disrespectful attitude toward their customers. read more

Had some atv tires mounted at Gamboas didnt check air right away when I did they were said 10 lbs on tire when I checked they were 27 lbs so beware read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE & INEXPERIENCED STAFF!!......Took my truck in to ha`ve wire and plugs put in and a small leak from trans. They called me and said truck is ready. WHen I started it up it was shaking very bad . Had to bring it back. Called me again and said it was ready . Started it up, same problem. Brought it back again and it seemed to run fine. When I got home I looked under the truck and a pool of transmission fluid on the ground. They said they replaced the pan and fill tube. It's leaking from the pan. Don't even think I needed a new pan!. Called them, Mananger said bring it in. Are you kidding me? The fourth time! They can't even put a sparkplug wire on properly! I will go someplace else where they know what they are doing. DON"T GO THERE!!! read more

I have been going to Gamboa's for 3 years now. Repairs have always been done quickly and the prices are fair. We have had everything from brakes repaired to side mirrors replaced. The customer service is always top notch. Rich at the front desk always explains everything well. Great service and great people. read more

Terrific shop. Took my car there cause I felt the brakes were due and they were honest and told me I had life left in them. Have had my sons car worked on there as welll and there prices are reasonable. read more

Great place. I have taken my car here a few times and they have always done great work that was reasonably priced. One of the times I expected it to be a major problem and it turned out to be something minor. Honesty is a great thing. read more

I have gone here for years. I have had my brakes checked twice. They could have installed them but they told me there was plenty of pads left and for the amount of miles I put on, to come back at the end of Summer and they will check them again. Gave me my keys back and there was no charge. Also as everyone else is mentioning they have an oil change place that is right next door and it is open on Sundays! No need to wait in long Saturday lines. read more

Glad I found my new mechanic! Fast turnaround time. Really good pricing on labor and parts. Upscale repair garage on Wolf Rd! I was confused at first. I dropped my car off at 9pm looking for the after hours drop box and couldn't find one. The gas station to the southwest is also owned by the Gamboa franchise. Drop your keys off there, leave your car across the street at the garage. I was wary about Gamboa's writing their own reviews on Yelp, however, now I am a believer! Thanks guys!!! read more

I feel sure this review will Be "filtered"! gamboas is literally around the corner, weve gone there ten years! A couple of weeks ago my husband took a car in to get a full set of new tires!$$took him right in!!! $$$$$. Last week I stopped in and said my husband was in the city in the hospital. And could they please check the alternator ...no,way too busy! , this was Thursday? And he couldn't take it till Monday, I asked if he could just see if it was safe to drive? husband in hospital, etc... Nope, wouldn't even come out to look at it! So I asked a co worker, since I couldn't burden my husband, she suggested DeRe 430 Nelson Road in New Lenox! Not only did they take it right away, The radiator had a visible crack! They had it repaired and road ready the same day! Thank you DeRe! Good Bye Gamboa, I hope you never find yourself in that situation! Then maybe again I do!. read more

Gamboa"s is one of the most honest places you can have your car repaired at. I refer so many people to them and all of them have been very happy with there work. They are very reasonable with there prices too. Just to tell you how honest they are I took my wives car to the dealer to have warranty work done. I wont name the dealer but they told me she needed a $500.00 tune up. Now I know her car is a 2003 but she only has 15,000 miles and the car purrs like a kitten. I told them not to do the tune up and brought it to Gambos and they looked at the car and said she had platinum plugs and would not need a tune up for a long time. Car has been driven a year now and only has 20,000 and still purrs read more

Went for an oil change and turned into being verbally attacked by the staff for my headlights not working correctly and not having my oil filter to even do the job. I did not feel comfortable there and will never go back. Fullers it is I guess... read more

Love these guys. From tires to repairs you're always offered a fair price and usally a couple of options. They understand that if you are fair to the customer and respect their wallet, then the customer will come back. I can honestly say that every time I've had work done there, I've been treated the way I feel I should be. Love the GM too - he usually does the quoting and almost always he gives options and leave the choice up to me as to how much I want to send on the repair/replacement. Highly recommend them! read more

I have had excellent experiences with Gamboa's Automotive Repair and Grease Lightning Quick Oil Change many times over the past 10 years, and have never had a bad experience with them. One time I had a problem with my vehicle that they could not identify, but I was treated fairly and not charged that time. Highly Recommended! read more

One of the most honest repair places around. Brought my car in and told them I think I needed a new window motor ($300 plus!) turned out to be a $15 switch. On another occasion I needed a new Co2 sensor or something like that (parts and labor $600+) and they suggested that it would probably cheaper if I went to the dealer. These are just a few instances where another repair place would have taken me to the cleaners. read more

This is my second time here. I live in a new construction area and this is my second tire that received a nail. This place is clean, service is great and prices reasonable. read more

Ken at Gamboas is awesome. They have now fixed my car 2 times..they have saved me so much money.. Service was quick and price estimated was the price given.. A great place to get your car fixed! Will be back DEFINITELY!! read more

Gamboa's continues to be my go-to place for automotive repairs. Great service, great value and great people, thanks Ken & Dave!

Took my car in for a 50,000mi check. They told me my front brake pads needed to be replaced. They changed the pads for me. Less than a week later my brakes were making a horrible sound when I slowed down to complete stop. Took it back to Gamboa's and they said one of the brackets on the brake pad was loose. Thought problem was fixed but it came back again just a few days later. Brought the car back a second time. They found no problem and told me they put extra grease on the brakes. Gee thanks! What really bothers me on top of the fact that my brakes now make a noise that I didn't have before going to Gamboa's is that the manger didn't seem to really care that I was inconvenienced twice after paying for work done at the shop he manages. Yes, my brakes still make the high pitched sound. Thanks for nothing Gamboa's. read more
