West Ashley

Great experience at the West Ashley Gerald's. Prompt Desk service, and the wait to get 4 tires…read moremounted/balanced, installed was not long at all. Especially this was the Saturday before the "Snow" arrived in Charleston. It would have been easy to not offer service due to an early closure, but it was not. 5-Star service. Cb

This is a hard one to write. I've been a reliable customer for years, at least well over a decade…read more And I'm sad to say Gerald's isn't what it used to be. Let me start by saying the staff is always friendly. When you walk in, those working the registers, checking you in/out, etc. are always a pleasure to work with. While I have also had a positive experience with the techs, however, their attitude is not genuine. Recently I took my car in for new tires and an alignment. Long story short they put on the new wheels but said they couldn't do an alignment without first installing new balljoints, bushings and "might as well do the whole package and add control arms even though they're fine". Bringing what would have been a $600 job to $1,4000. Balljoints are $15-30, bushing $40- but if we wanted to do the "whole package" you're looking at roughly $200 max for a job that takes 1-2 hours. So where is the extra $600 coming from? Labor, right? Nope! Turns out Gerald's is overcharging an outrageous amount for parts. The numbers weren't adding up and I told them the new tires were fine and to bring my car down. I called a friend who has a renowned shop in Charleston for a second opinion because I had a gut feeling something was wrong. It was there he confirmed Gerald's was trying to screw me over and that my balljoints were perfectly fine and while the bushings had some wear, nothing was severe and they could have done the alignment. (Their shop successfully did it by the way with no issue and no issues popped up on my car from doing so. I also heard several horror stories from cars they had received after being at Gerald's.) I was able to inspect the balljoints and bushings myself and can confirm, everything was fine. Last year (January 2025) I had taken another car in for mechanical issues which I was overcharged for as well, so this isn't a new problem Gerald's is having. I was just hoping that would be the only time and that they might have fired those men who ripped me off. Instead, it looks like this is their new culture and they're digging their heels in. Get your tires done, sure, but anything else I would actively avoid them. They're right up there with Firestone on being some of the worst shops. Take their suggestions with a grain of salt and for the love of God get a second opinion before you let them take your money. I'm very fortunate I had someone in the industry I could call, but most places will do inspections for free or at minimal cost. It's worth it. Trust me!

Charleston's go to shop for Land Rovers for over 25 years. They've keep Range Rover classics,…read morediscos/LR4s, a p38, and a newer gen Range Rovers in top shape. People say Rovers aren't reliable but IYKYK, you need to keep up with them...and sometimes get ahead of them. My rovers have been very solid. The team at Import and Vintage makes it easy. They initially provide a comprehensive review and then manage every aspect. Never do work you don't need and stand behind all the work they do. And they've taken awesome care of my moms Volvos. Did I mention they have loaner cars too! Game changer. Charleston's top Rover shop!

Took my 2001 Range Rover to them for a tune up/ oil change. Wanted them to look at a warning light…read morethat came on as well. To my knowledge that was completed properly. Here is how they earned one star. When I receive the call to come pick up the car, the employee mentions that my drivers side door handle is broken (was not broken when I dropped it off) or for the 25 years I have owned the vehicle. I thought okay, things happen. Random chance. but the break still occurred on their watch at their shop. I would have been cool with splitting the cost or buying the part and getting free labor just to make things easy NO NO NO... I was told that the employees HAVE to gain access to the vehicle, if something breaks in the process that is the customers problem? Further I was informed that they wanted to charge me a $350 diagnostics fee for the door handle. What do we need to diagnose, the staff broke the handle on company property. What's left to figure out? Super bummed to have to write this one, this has been a place my family has used for the last 10 years.
