all I have to say is, for a woman, and I speak only for myself, the 2 hardest things to find when you move to a new area is a hairstylist and a mechanic.
I like gault's because, the few times I had car problems, I brought it to a dealer, an auto shop, and gault's. the dealer is the priciest. the other auto shop was pricey and always seemed like they found more problems with my car than the dealer or gault's.
first time, I went to the dealer. mostly, because that's where I bought my car and assumed they would know my car best. not so. when I take my car back from the shop, it feels like they did nothing to it. I bring it back to the dealer to complain and have them fix it. I bring it back home and it was the same. either the mechanics at the dealer do not know what they're doing or they're just lazy.
then I tried the other auto mechanic. I ended up not getting my car fixed there, but did ask for an analysis and estimate of cost. again, they were higher than the dealer, so I decided to try out gault's auto shop.
the owners of gault's were friendly. I asked them to check my car and give me analysis and estimates. wanted to see what they have to say first, to see if their analysis was similar to what the dealer and the other auto shop said. what they told me seemed so much simpler than what the dealer and other shop said and had better pricing. most important was that my car was fixed. they seemed honest and never tried to add more than what the problem was. they give me advice on how to keep my car in good shape. sometimes I tell them what the dealer and other shop suggest for my car or what their assessments were and gault's would just chuckle and let me know that it's BS.
so as far as I know, and I don't know too much about cars, I always leave with a car that's fixed. I never leave feeling ripped off. read more
