Recently, my check engine light came on and it turned out to be an oxygen sensor (don't ask me what that is!). They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly and had me back on the road without any hassle. Finding an honest, trustworthy mechanic isn't easy but Gil's has always been fair, reliable and does quality work. If you go, ask for Bob -he's the best! Highly recommend.

If you want straight up honest service this is the place. I was driving my 2014 Jeep Wrangler (my…read morebaby) when it started to rain. Front wipers, headlights and turn signals not coming on and the rear wiper wouldn't turn off. First thought was fuses. Tried to figure it out and gave up. Next am took it to Ray. He checked it out and found computer wasn't sending signals to car. Dealer time. After literally having nightmares about poor customer service at jeep dealer I made an appointment with on the way we noticed all was working fine. Went back to Ray to pay him and he refused to take a dime!! He said he did nothing and refused money for at least diagnosing problem!! Love this guy :) Thanks, Dori Kila (lifetime customer)

I called in for a used car inspection. Ask for cash quote - he said 70, and needs 2-3 hr notice…read morebefore coming. Price wasn't spectacular (this was quoted in 3 diff shops in Paramus) but this was closest to dealership, so I agree. I call next day at 10 AM to if I can come at 1, and he says come now. I go with the used car. First thing - no "hi" or nothing. OK, no biggie, anyone can have a bad day. He (appeared to be owner/manager) lifts the car WITHOUT asking me ANYTHING - didnt' even confirm if I was the guy who made the call... and starts doing something. His just looks at stuff w/flash light.. and that's it. I've been to other used car inspection places and i can see them connecting their digital diagnostics tool to the car. This time? NOTHING. He just looks.. and that's it. Then I get a PIECE of paper w/scribbles on it. Can barely make out what it says. He does speak to me about what the issues are but there's NO report whatsoever - no measurements, no readings, no nothing. I needed this report to negotiate with the seller. He won't give it. Worst - he starts getting MAD and starts screaming that I'm asking "too much".. and that i'm bothering him in his busy time, when there was NO OTHER CAR at the time except mine. I keep asking for something more detailed since i'm getting it from a dealer and it's gonna be looked by pros. He tells me to pay additional $150/hr and will give me formal report. Worst part - he is screaming and pestered at 11 AM in the morning on a WEEKDAY. The dealership's sales employee was with me .. and he even screams at this poor guy - for WHAT? I never asked him to talk to the dealer's sale guy. He's mad b/c im asking him to give me more detailed report? All in all, TERRIBLE experience. I've done 3 used car inspections the past month - and by FAR, this was the WORST. Will NEVER EVER go here again. I question all the reviews on this shop.

When I went to pick it up he gave me the print out and wouldn't take any money for the Diagnostics he did! And it was just in time because the recall was expiring in May. Honest and knowledgeable. I don't think there are two more important qualities in a mechanic. I will be taking my car back for everything it needs and will recommend him to everybody. Thank you.
