Gambardella Racing

"Old school muscle cars, dragsters, and race cars galore. Tons of racing history at every corner."

"I Always stop there for wood for our fire place and fire pit needs. Gary always has a selection of hard wood and campfire wood. I've never been let down when I get there. It's easy and convenient, small cages and extra large ones. ...and he's got interesting projects he does. Clearing properties and grading too. Really a good dude! Glade his there."

"I called Gambardella and spoke with the owner Tony and explained to him my situation that I was having with mounting my front runner's. My local tire shop stopped and told me "hey, I'm afraid of scratching your brand new wheel if I keep pushing to get this mounted". I told him, no worries and was recommended to the worst shop ever. I called and explained the situation to Tony and was told no problem, I can take care of that for you. After a half hr of watching him struggle he gave up and recommended me to another local tire shop, but not before he ruined my brand new tire and wheel. He owned up to ruining my tire and payed me cash to replace it. The wheel at this point was scratched and basically ruined (in my opinion) and knowing that he ruined it, offered to powder coat the wheel for me. A week goes by and I go pick the wheel up without the highest expectations after seeing the type of work he had done. Now the wheel is completely ruined. 1st off he didn't powder coat the entire wheel, he only did the face of it and the work that he had done was terrible. Now the wheel no longer matched my others, not to mention it was the worst powder coated wheel I had ever seen. Bubbles all over it and dirt and debris in the finish. I call him back the next day because he wasn't in when I picked the wheel up and he no longer wants to be responsible for the damages he caused to my wheel and told me he didn't do it and was not going to buy me a new wheel. Tells me I bought you a tire already, I'm not buying you a wheel too. Fair warning to everyone DO NOT do business here EVER this guy is a hack and should have a desk job. He'll be hearing from me again!!"

"Tony is a great person that has tons of knowledge and experience that helped me with my purchase. He was eager to help me from start to finish. I wish there was more business owners that engage with there customers as he does."

"I have a gorgeous 68 Cutlass convertible with a 455 that I brought to Tony the owner of Gambordella Auto because the motor had overheated and had a knock. I told Tony, there was metal in the oil, and I wanted him to rebuild it, spare no expense, I just want to cruise my convertible this summer. Well $6600 later and Amos the a year later, I got my car back. I was very excited to drive it. It broke down on the way home, the new Holley fuel pump died. I ordered a new one, installed it myself, and found that the new battery was dead every time I drove it. I replaced the starter. Came to find out, the motor was not grounded properly to the frame, when it was re installed. After a month of fixing everything that was done improperly on installation, I could finally enjoy my car. I went a couple hundred miles, that I documented, and was driving with the top down, when I noticed no oil pressure. I towed the car to my work, emptied the oil, to find metal shavings in my oil. I changed it, and towed it to Tony right away. I asked that he please look at it and tell me what went wrong in my brand new motor. He charged me for another oil change, and told me all was well. The metal in the oil, was Assembly lube, and maybe it got into the oil pressure line, causing the gauge to read low. I picked up the car and drove it home. A couple weeks later, on a nice day, I decided to take my car 15 miles to work, with the top down. On my way home, not 50 miles after Tony told me, my motor was fine, THE BRAND NEW ENGINE, BLEW UP, at 70mph, 3000 rpm, the rods let lose, blowing the motor to pieces, even putting a large gash in my frame, from the rods blowing off the engine and through the oil pan. Tony kept my car for weeks, with no response on text or phone. Every time I called, he was out. Finally I get a text, a picture of my broken pieces of rods, and cam. I call him, he finally answers, because I call from a different number, and he screams that there is no warranty, and no way to tell if rods will last or not, so I'm beat! I told him, on my receipt, YOU REPLACED THE RODS! He screamed, he would not do anything for me, rods are unpredictable, and he won't stand behind it. To add insult to injury, he parked my gorgeous car, under a pine tree, killing my paint, and never covered it, as agreed to. NO RESPECT, for me as a good, long time customer, no respect for my car, and no business sense to help me in any way, as if I was wrong! I'm a 51 year old man, owned 100s of muscle cars, all I wanted, was a reliable convertible to cruise for the summer. Thanks to this company and Tony the owner, 2 summers went bye, without me being able to enjoy my ride, and I'm out $6600. BEWARE! NOT A GOOD PLACE TO DO BUSINESS, TONY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND HIS WORK!!!!!"
