I was referred to Gary by another local business who could not diagnose an issue I was having with…read moremy 2004 F-150. I left the competitor and dropped it off with Gary. In less than a week - I had a diagnosis as well as a few different options ahead of me. Gary explained in great detail the pro's and con's of the options provided and even made a recommendation. I opted to replace with a re-manufactured engine (that came with a 3 yr/100,000 mile warranty). Carmen - who was an angel to work with throughout the entire process - quoted me a time frame of less than a week from the day they take delivery of the engine. Less than week later (including a holiday) - I get a call to come pick my truck up it was fixed. I get there - my truck runs better than it did the day I picked it up from the dealership. Gary must have spent a good 45 minutes talking me through all of the things he noticed, his extensive testing, explanation of next steps to break the engine in, the free oil change they threw in, etc. I go back into the office and Carmen had everything lined up and stepped me through all of the paperwork that came with my new engine as well as guided me through the steps to get the warranty registered to me. She even told me to call them if I notice anything crazy with my truck and they would have me towed in at their expense - just to be safe!!! It is a pity that I am leaving the area - just when I found "The last mechanic I will ever need...". I highly recommend Gary's Car Craft - you will not be disappointed!

Gary's has already screwed two of my best friends. They both went in with small engine problems and…read morethe both wound up getting screwed for over $6500 for the one car and $850 for the 2nd car. The last car a BMW came in for oil drain pan seal replacement that cost $5000 and when he received the car back the brake lights were not working. Now how does that happen! Gary said he did not do that, so my friend left it with him again and one month later he says it is fixed but it was not two months after that he says it is fixed and wanted to charge him another $850!!! After calling bullshit on that he lowered the bill to $450. This is a pattern with this business they start with the original problem and then other things pop up making that bill larger and larger. Do not take your car to Gary's Car Craft.

Sadly, a couple of months ago after hiring these young guys and leaving a glowing review for them…read moreafter they replaced my front brake pads and rotors because I had sought mechanic help for squealing brakes. Needless to say after they replaced said pads and rotors the brakes continued to squeal. They suggested it would go away "shortly after driving a bit", but if not, they'd return and "oil them". When the squealing continued "after a bit", I contacted them again and heard nothing back. I tried again and was told they'd been sick, but promised to stop by that evening. They never showed. I contacted them again, but did not receive the courtesy of a response. Now I question the money I paid that did not solve the problem and their lack of responsiveness or accountability for stopping my brakes from squealing and following through with what they promised to do to make it right. I no longer recommend these guys so please disregard my earlier glowing review!

Then they said their main office said no to the repairs because they would have to pull the dash to fix it. I took it to Shipman showed them the papers the other had supplied they looked at them put all the data in their computer and came up with a price several hundred lower. I had them do the work, it was ready when promised. They gave me a small retired military discount, plus they didn't need all the parts they thought and took that off the final bill. Honesty, intregrity, and quality. Two months now and it's still nice and cold. I've told family and friends this is the place to go from the git go. Thanks Shipman

After dropping my car off, I got a call 30 minutes later (when I was nearly home) saying the mechanic "wouldn't touch it" because "too much work had been done and there'd be too many things to check." That reasoning makes no sense -- those are the same components they'd have to check anyway to diagnose the problem, whether I replaced them or not. After visiting their new location, it's clear they've shifted focus to easier, low-risk jobs on higher-end vehicles. They wasted my time and gas for nothing. I used to trust this shop, but it's not the same place anymore. If you actually need a real diagnostic or meaningful repair work, go somewhere else.
