Our family has been taking our vehicles to Gary's for years. We trust him and his mechanics completely. Their rates are completely reasonable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

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!!!

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 does a good job and you can tell he cares for his customers. He doesn't over recommend things that don't need to be done.

I've owned 7 cars. I've run into problems and dealt with mechanics like we all do. I'm SO impressed with Gary. My boyfriend has brought his car a few times, and he's quick and honest and has very fair prices. Today my son took his car in because he thought the brakes were bad. Turns out it's the nature of the type of brakes that are on the jetta to make the noise he was hearing. No charge. I'm sure we will be coming back from chula vista whenever we need a fantastic mechanic!!!!

Gary’s automotive in Santee was recommended to me by Al’s barbershop and that is one of the best recommendations. I’ve had.Garys honest and trustworthy and quick..The first time he replaced the fuel pump which was in my gas tank on my 2001 Chevy van.this time however, it was the radiator and that was under warranty from a different auto repair shop. He understood and got it back put together so I was able to take it over and get the warranty work done.I cannot say enough wonderful things about Garys automotive.Services: Auto maintenance

So glad I found Gary's auto shop on Yelp! I needed my engine air filters changed out. The dealership was going to charge an arm and leg. I YouTube how to do it myself but it looked a little time consuming and I was being very optimistic! Decided, nah! I'll call Gary and see what he charges to put new ones in. Thank god I did! He charged half the price and I was in and out less 30 mins! Again, always love supporting my local businesses! Thanks again Gary and his team! You guys are awesome!

Can't say enough nice things about Gary. He was patient and kind to a very uninformed car owner like myself and was incredibly accommodating to my work hours and fitting us in the week of Thanksgiving. Honest and fair, thanks Gary!
