Gil's Auto Medic

Gil's Auto Medic

(16 reviews)

I had the pleasure of having the folks at Gil's repair my Ford Focus. The car had quit on me while…read moreI was driving to Panama City. I had my car towed to Gil's and called them to explain what had happened before getting towed. I was told they might not be able to get to it until the following day. Gil met me after we arrived and the mechanics were able to get my car out of "P" when offloading it from the tow truck and made a quick assessment of the problem. I was asked if I needed a ride anywhere, but my wife was 15 minutes away. They called me when the repair was complete, sooner than the expected date, and at a reasonable repair cost. When I asked about the repair cost, the receptionist reminded me there was a 4% add-on charge for Credit/Debit card use. This is also displayed at the window. I would recommend cash payments for very costly repairs. When I picked up the car, I was shown the part that caused the problem and they explained the repair. They also told me to bring it back if there were any issues. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I recommend Gil's Auto Medic to anyone needing car repairs. Though it is an hour away, I will return for future car repairs.

Communicates very well with what is going on with your vehicle, very quick to complete the work,…read morevery reliable. Amazing customer service! I once dropped my vehicle off at the shop 4 days before it was scheduled to be worked on. Gil called me the same day stating he's already finished my car, and explained very well what was going on with my front end (I asked them to look at that as well), I asked him if he could fix that too, a few hours later he called and said it was done! Will definitely use him as my #1 mechanic here!

Nichols Auto Repair & Tow

Nichols Auto Repair & Tow

We took a car there yesterday for struts and a window motor replacement. They called today to say…read moreit was ready and told us the bill was over a thousand dollars. They said that the brakes were bad and that they replaced the pads and rotors without our permission or knowledge and then charged us for the additional work. Then they got mad when we told them to undo the work as the brakes have been working fine. This got the bill down to $800 which is still a huge amount. DO NOT take your vehicle here. These people are crooks and will scam anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. Avoid this establishment at all costs.

They towed my vehicle, even though the vehicle was wrecked in Freeport. So I don't understand why…read moreNichols out of every other and closer towing company's but I was very unfortunate to have Nichols as the tower. Called to see what it would take to get back. And they told me just for the tow alone was over $600. Not including all his B.S. fees. Completely rude over the phone and didn't give the information of them not taking cards and only cash. So of course I was pissed off driving over an hour to Chipley from Freeport to be told I have to go back out to an ATM and call my bank to up the daily spending limit. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Not enough? They told us if we didn't make it back by 5 we would have to wait till tomorrow so they could charge a whole other day. Made it back at exactly 5. Gave them the total of $740 to just get the car back and when the man brought it up front. Driver side window was shattered and there were glass pieces all of the interior. And they had even stole the charger I had in the center consol? I mean is this not illegal???They are complete crooks and will inconvenience the hell out of you. NEVER GO HERE.
