The car passed the safety inspection (as it is now antique), and the fellows there were genuinely interested having never seen one, and we had a great conversation. They were VERY careful with my car, and put the new inspection sticker right were I had requested! If you have an antique or classic car/truck used in auto shows. I would highly recommend this business! AAA+

He told me "I would never get on the ground and do that for you" this was the old heavier set guy with white hair. I said well that was rude and he said "yeah well I don't care". Not to mention it's located in a gas station with no running gasoline and every time I pass it there's police cars getting worked on from Granville ???? Strange ! I'm sure they have an auto shop in Granville .... I don't recommend this place at all if you have any type of respect for yourself or people because they sure do not !! The only reason they have good reviews is because no one reviews them !

Been taking my car to ARC guys for years but never has it been more helpful then this past year…read morewhen my Subaru cross the hundred thousand mile mark. If you haven't gone to ARC before and you need to know these guys are old school and will do whatever they can to patch your car together on a budget while educating customers on what you need to do for maintenance to make it last as long as possible. My mechanic John probably doesn't want to it advertised because I get the feeling he doesn't really LOVE fussing with my car these days but I have to say it anyway...Today he put some space-age material on my ancient exhaust and got it to pass inspection when we never thought it would. They bought me another year in this old car. Thanks guys!!

As of right now, this place has five stars and nine reviews, an extremely high score. That's the…read morereason I drove forty minutes out of my way to get my car fixed here. I'm about to put a ding in that score. I went here over my usual guy because I'm a layman and thought maybe brakes required a special skillset. I wanted to get it done right. I brought it in and was told the brake pads- or whatever- are worn down and are pretty much just metal on metal, in the front wheels. The rear brakes aren't great but I could put those off for now. I was told it would cost $550, and that that would mostly be in parts. I grimaced and took the hit. A week later, my brakes aren't working so well. Something about air in the line, everyone tells me, because the pedal depresses almost entirely to the floor before I get any braking traction. I call the shop and describe it. The guy tells me that doesn't sound like air in the line at all, it sounds like the... something, I forget, and it'll need replacing and lots of work. At this point I start to see what's going on here. I say "I'll think about it" and hang up. I brought the car to my usual guy. He says Arc Garage did a crap job and didn't reconnect the hoses correctly and sprayed (something) on the (something), which I was made to believe was a bad move. He asked what they charged and I told him, and he said "Oh, you got ripped off so bad. Oh wow. That was a $200 job." He then told me the fix he'd just done was $50 and to come and get it. I won't be making this mistake again. Also, what the hell Yelp, please don't lead me astray like that.

There's an ATM right outside their waiting room and office for cash needed for repairs. Gil's Auto is a quality auto shop with heart--they really care about all kinds of cars, and their owners. I am still surprised by the affordability of their prompt service, and continue to be a returning customer. They just needed to move to Belchertown from Amherst, and have a bunch of warm letters from residents of Belchertown and other places greeting them warmly. Their new garage isn't far from their old location in Amherst and has good company in the variety of services offered in this auto plaza--Pelham Auto Repair, Pelham Auto Parts, Jimmy Burgoff (.com) Movers, and the UHaul Rental Gil's office offers. They aren't above working as a team to push your car into the shop and breaking a sweat. That's what you'd need in your auto crews. I think they are in good company here, Creation willing.
