Gary's Auto Service 10139 Prospect Avenue, Santee, CA 92071

"SO STOKED: Best mechanic ever for any car, including classics! Totally honest, fair, reasonable, and friendly. I am so thankful to Mike at Gary’s Auto for fixing my rebuilt 1971 Ford Maverick. It had been sitting for a while and wouldn’t start, but he got it purring better than ever at no time at all and little cost. Other shops said I needed a full engine rebuild and wouldn’t work on it otherwise, but Mike got it screaming by using his expert mechanic/engine skills to uncover simple issues. Prior to this shop, I couldn’t find anyone who could help, so I’m stoked on finally finding my lifelong mechanic. Mike also takes the time to talk to you and explain everything, so you never feel rushed or overlooked. I was so depressed walking by my broken-down Maverick, and now I am stoked. No leaks—not even a drip. THANK YOU!!!"

"Love the auto shop great customer service and were very helpful got my bby up and running again"

"Gary and his team have been my mechanic for 15 years. He is HONEST, fairly priced, never doing more than your car needs. (As a young adult Gary cared for 3 of our cars, always providing above board service and never unnecessary repairs just to make money) I highly recommend Gary’s Auto Service. I have moved to La Jolla and still go to the trouble of bringing my car to him over anywhere else."

"Do not go here, Refused to fix my issue 3 straight visits, told me doesn’t have time, then to leave my truck. Also told me, it’s hard to chase noises, your truck is breaking down and making noises because it’s old. Been loyal, but this place is unpredictable. Takes several visits to fix anything, finally quit going there."

"Gary's auto service is an excellent shop who thinks outside the box and tried to find solution for my vehicle's problems exhaust system, very dependable, reliable and honest five stars for your service"
