Brought my 2013 Lexus GS 350 in for a coolant leak and paid about $180 in diagnostic fees. They…read moretold me I needed a full radiator, thermostat, and hoses replaced -- quoted around $1,800. Their own paperwork admitted the cooling system only lost 1 psi in 15 minutes and that they couldn't actually find a leak. I got a second opinion at a dealership. The real problem was just the radiator cap -- the worn cap couldn't hold pressure, so the coolant was boiling over and escaping. About $100 to replace, and the car has run perfectly ever since. The cap was even listed on their own quote (a $26 part), but instead of trying the cheap fix first, they pushed a $1,500 radiator job. Either they couldn't diagnose a basic cooling issue or they were counting on me not getting a second opinion. Get your quote checked elsewhere before paying these guys.

I had a water pump fail, so I went to the GMC Dealership in Gilroy. They would not give me an…read moreappointment because they are booked. Not a good sign for having a GMC vehicle. I discovered down the street from them, Gilroy Automotive Repair. I went in the next morning as they opened. Jeremy and his son were very professional and friendly. They took the vehicle in and completed it by the following morning. They did a great job and charged quite a bit less than the original estimate, which was fair to begin with. I will definitely go there again. What a difference from the dealerships.

I recently purchased a classic car in Gilroy and was unfamiliar with the area. Following the good…read morereviews, I had Gilroy Automotive do the pre-sale inspection and they were incredibly helpful and patient to me in the process. They were easy to talk to and explained the rationale for why some things were more immediate versus others and the inspection itself was easy and thorough, as is the online system to review estimates and approve/decline work. I live a bit out in Monterey, but have three cars and had been looking for a good, honest, and reasonably priced mechanic. I plan to use them as my regular moving forward.

I've been a customer for almost 20 years since this shop was called Truman in Morgan Hill. They've…read moremoved to Gilroy, and I've followed them there. Don and Tuan are very honest, knowledgeable and have super reasonable prices and wait times. I have referred many people to them, and no one has been disappointed. I recently took my brand new Mercedes to them for an oil change because the dealer wanted to charge $350 for a basic oil change. Don charged less than half of that! I trust them with all my cars. They are a very small two man shop but they get things done quickly without compromising quality. I don't know what I'd do if they decide to retire and close up shop! Let me add...Cintas trusts them with their entire fleet of trucks! Every time I come in, there are Cintas trucks getting serviced.

Told him one of the latches for the hood had got jammed and in a few minutes, fixed it and had him on his way. He tried to pay and they told him not to worry about it. Thank you for being good kind people.

I can't say enough good things about Meineke in Gilroy. I bring both my Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner…read morehere regularly for routine maintenance, and they've always done a great job. Oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, pretty much everything I've needed has been handled smoothly and professionally. What really stands out to me is how accurate they are with timing. When they tell you when the car will be ready, they actually stick to it. A lot of times it's even done earlier. That's huge for me because I hate going somewhere that says the car will be ready at noon and then it's suddenly 3 p.m. and you're still waiting. That's never been an issue here. The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in their work. It's hard to find an auto shop you can trust, but this Meineke has earned my business. If you're in the Gilroy area and need reliable service, I'd definitely recommend them.
