I drive an old hoopty (2006 Honda Civic baby!!) and this shop has been instrumental in keeping my car on the road They even rescued me once when I couldn't get two of my windows to roll up. We were expecting an ice storm within hours and they said if you can get it here, we'll get your windows up. And they did! They've done a lot of work on my car over the years and I wanted to acknowledge the excellent experience I've had Thank you Gardner Automotive! You're the best!

I've never had to go back because an issue was never fixed right the first time. They've always been on it. I trust them 100%. Great bunch of dudes too.

Up until recently this shop was pretty good and I and my family liked going there. I never write…read morenegative reviews but I felt compelled to do so. Here is what led me to this review. Brought my wife's car in for repair. They replaced engine mounts. After the mounts were installed, we heard unfamiliar sounds from the engine. They dismissed it. After a couple of requests to look at it , they finally agreed to. By this time my wife didn't feel safe driving the car , so we brought it to another shop. They found a broken bolt and a stripped bolt on the engine mount and a few other issues. While waiting for the result of the issue with my wife's car I had brought my car in and had struts and a control arm replaced. One strut failed out of the box and the control arm failed less than 2 months later. They couldn't get me in right away so I drove on this for a couple of weeks. When they discovered the control arm had failed the woman who answers the phone TOLD me they need to replace a CV joint that had gone bad on that same side. She didn't ask me, she told me they were doing it and it would cost $600. When I asked if this could have been a result of the faulty control arm , she immediately dismissed it. When I asked her to verify this with the mechanic she said she would but never called back. When I called back she clearly didn't like my questions and she responded with "If you don't like our service you can go somewhere else" in her occasional condescending tone. I asked to speak with the owner she told me that he would tell me the same thing. I asked to still speak to the owner but have not received a call. The bottom line is that it appears they use inferior parts and they are getting sloppy, which is disappointing. But they must be extremely busy because it's clear they don't need to care about customer service like they used to.

HANDS DOWN the absolutely best place I have ever gotten work done on any of my vehicles. First off,…read moreas a first time customer coming in to get work done the owner himself does a free, FULL, precise, all point inspection of everything on your vehicle down to the thickness of brake pads and tire tread itself. This alone at a dealership would be $150 easy and he does it FREE. Second, I did not get the pleasure of meeting the sons behind the name of the company but I did get the pleasure of meeting Scott and Mike. Both men had wonderful customer service and were always looking for any way possible to help or accommodate their customers whether it meant staying late or squishing someone's car in quick into the 15 minute break they got that day with how busy they were. These guys blew me away in every way possible. Every customer I saw come in there or even that called weren't just customers to them, they were family. I couldn't help but stay and talk to Mike the whole time my Jeep was being worked on instead of sitting in the heated office with TV because he was just so kind and easy to talk to! Last but not least, I went in here with my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited which at this point I had brought to 3 Jeep dealerships prior to find an antifreeze problem. All 3 dealerships prior to these guys waved it off, it was nothing, and sent me home when whatever else was done. Well 10 minutes on the lift and into the air at Scott and Son's and they found my problem which actually ended up being a huge crack in my radiator which could have lead to some SERIOUS damage if kept unfixed. After a diagnosis and Mike's magical work with my third party service contract which no one else wants to touch anywhere the VERY NEXT DAY my Jeep was in and fixed THAT DAY! And at the end the owner/mechanic himself took a test drive with me just to make sure everything worked perfectly! I would 110% recommend this auto shop to anyone and everyone! I will no longer be taking my vehicle (or future vehicles) anywhere else ever again and neither should you! P.S. Picture in comments showing my old radiator with the leak everyone else (including 3 Jeep dealerships) missed until Scott found it within 10 mins!!
