I got a full report of the vehicle inspection with pictures sent to my phone which I was unaware of until I got it. This puts the narrative of "adding unnecessary work" to bed. I was able to verify the discussion I had with Greg regarding maintenance needs that we had not previously discussed. The pricing was honest and fair which is what I expect, the quality of work was great. The friendliness of all the staff is what really stood out. If you're looking for a private equity ownership business, Gateway is not the place for you! This is a business that treats you like a neighbor and that is a big reason why I will bring my vehicles back.

Going to any new automotive place, I am always hesitant and skeptical if the business and employees are going to be honest or are they going to try and take me for all my money? I went to them based on good reviews from Yelp. My experience with them has been nothing but fantastic. The front office staff, the mechanics and even the owner, have been nothing but professional, courteous and honest. Upon diagnosing my vehicle, they gave me different options on repairs and did not try to pressure me in either direction but did give advice on what the best fix would be. They performed the work in a timely manner and just as important.. the cost was fair. If you're looking for a honest place that won't try to screw you over then I strongly recommend this business. I will continue to give them my business!

Dear potential Clovis Auto Shop customers,…read more I want to share my experience with one of the last truly honest auto shops in the greater Fresno/Clovis area. I live in Clovis, CA, and work as a traveling sales executive, which means my vehicle is essential to my job. I put a lot of miles on my cars and regularly rely on auto shops for both routine maintenance and repairs. That's why I feel confident recommending Clovis Auto Shop. They are an outstanding group of people--friendly, courteous, and straightforward in their communication. I've worked with Manuel, Raul, and the owner, Ron, and every interaction has been positive. Whether it's basic services like oil changes or more advanced work such as engine or transmission repairs, they consistently deliver high-quality service. What truly sets them apart, however, is their honesty and integrity. On several occasions, they have gone above and beyond in ways that many shops simply wouldn't. For example, I recently brought in my Ford Expedition because it wouldn't start. Initially, the issue was misdiagnosed, and an expensive engine procedure was performed. Once they realized the mistake, they immediately informed me and did not charge me for the unnecessary work. My bill dropped from nearly $1,000 to about $264. That level of honesty is rare--they could have easily charged me, and I would never have known. In the end, they correctly fixed the issue, and my car has been running perfectly. Another instance happened a few years ago with a different vehicle. Clovis Auto Shop installed a Jasper rebuilt engine with a 4-year/40,000-mile warranty. The engine failed early in the fourth year, even though the mileage was still low. Both the shop and I felt this was unusually premature. Instead of leaving me to deal with it on my own, they advocated on my behalf with Jasper and secured a very favorable deal on a replacement engine. They could have simply said "tough luck," but they didn't. Experiences like these are why I consider Clovis Auto Shop to be one of the most honest and reliable shops around. I recommend them without hesitation. For full transparency, I have no family or friends who own or work at the shop--I'm simply a loyal customer who appreciates great service. Thank you.

Getting a smog check is honestly an inconvenient when you just want to pay for your car registration, but of course, I need to get an inspection first. Clovis Auto Shop makes the burden bearable. I did not make an appointment but I was in and out in 30 minutes. I waited in their clean waiting area that had a tv, complimentary coffee and snacks. The girl at the front desk was friendly and efficient. The cost was very reasonable. Out the door $55.

I received a quote from another shop saying my transmission was blown. Cost: $6k. Time to repair: a week. I took it to Unlimited for a second opinion and they called me within an hour of looking at it to explain it was a $200 1-hour job. Not exaggerating. By noon I had my car back and saved myself having to get a rental vehicle and shelling out thousands for the repair. They were honest, efficient, and excellent with communicating updates throughout the process. New customer for life! Thanks again guys!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience so others can make an…read moreinformed decision. We brought my daughter's 2014 Ford Focus to this shop because it would not start. After their inspection, we were given an estimate and authorized the repairs they said were necessary. During the process, we were then informed that the clutch also needed to be repaired, which significantly increased the cost. Although this wasn't part of the original estimate, we agreed because we wanted the vehicle repaired correctly and trusted their professional diagnosis. By the time everything they recommended was completed, we had spent approximately $3,700. Unfortunately, after all of those repairs, the vehicle still was not operating properly. We then had the car towed back to the shop because the original problem had not truly been resolved. At that point, we were told the issue was actually the fuel pump. This was incredibly frustrating because after spending thousands of dollars based on their recommendations, another major repair was suddenly needed. It left us questioning whether a thorough diagnostic had been performed in the first place. As a customer, I understand that older vehicles can develop multiple problems. However, when a shop performs a diagnostic and recommends thousands of dollars in repairs, I expect those recommendations to be based on a complete and accurate assessment. Instead, it felt like we addressed one expensive issue after another without ever getting to the root cause. I reached out to the owner in writing, hoping we could have a productive conversation and work toward a reasonable resolution. While I appreciate that they did respond, I was extremely disappointed that there was no acknowledgment of the financial burden this created and no offer of any reimbursement, credit, or goodwill adjustment after we had invested so much money and still ended up with a vehicle that was not repaired. Ultimately, we made the difficult decision not to move forward with the additional fuel pump repair because we had already invested more into the vehicle than it was worth. I encourage anyone considering this shop to ask detailed questions about the diagnostic process, request in detailed writing all testing that has been done.
