I usually don’t write reviews but this business is very thru and helpful with a lot of things. Today i took the vehicle i was about to buy for the pre-purchase inspection. Gary.. awesome man.. explained, showed and pointed everything in the car with all honesty. And he gave me the peace of mind that i was looking for when buying used vehicle.
To be honest, I have never feel so welcomed and educated at the mechanic before. Highly recommended! Will bring my car to Gary for further services!!!

Brought my 09 Odyssey to Gary for a timing belt water pump change and they found I also needed a new motor mount, when we got the vehicle back it felt like a newer machine, tighter and smoother ride with no clunks while shifting. Thanks Gary's automotive.

Quality work, fair prices, honest people.
Finding a decent mechanic can be very challenging. A friend recommended Gary’s Automotive, and now I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
They are total pros. They’ve been taking care of my cars for well over a decade, and have given me the best service and peace of mind.
As a family-owned business, they are connected to the community and treat every customer as if they were the only one. Their attention to detail is outstanding. They explain everything in plain English, and give you options. When they give you an estimate, they stay with or under it. Their work is ready on time, and is done right the first time.
These may seem like the basics, but if you’ve ever been ripped off by a bad repair shop, you know that it’s rare to find a shop like this.
Gary’s also uses technology to make it easier for their customers. They confirm appointments by text. After most service visits, I’ll get a text with a link to a personalized web page that shows the work that was done (under a green light), irgent issues (red), and issues that we should keep an eye on (yellow). This makes it easy to plan maintenance and prevent small problems from becoming big, expensive ones.
Finally, Gary’s goes the extra mile. For example, when I got a tire pressure warning light, they checked my tires and made sure that it was just the colder temperatures that had caused the drop in pressure. They took care of it and sent me on my way, with no charge.
I never hesitate to give Gary’s Automotive my highest recommendation. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you’re anywhere near Laurel, you shouldn’t either.

I love Gary's Automotive, I've been going there for over a year now. I love their professionalism, honesty, and they don't try take your money like other places. They give you the real honest truth about your vehicle. I've stopped going to the Toyota dealership and let Gary's take care of my car needs. The dealership quoted me almost 2K to repair my air conditioner and Gary's saved me a significant amount of money.
Tony and Gary (Jr.) are always courteous and professional. They also have excellent time management.

The honesty and courtesy offered by this establishment is priceless. They really take ownership in their customers' experience with them. I went to them for a pre-purchase inspection on the last vehicle I bought. The mechanic pointed out a slight leak in the Rack and pinion system. When the dealer tried to dispute the claim, Gary's care enough to direct me to the state authority that regulates such activities. Long story short, the dealer had to replace the rack system saving me from a $2,500 headache.

Decent quality service with friendly customer service. A bit confused about their process with servicing though. They called to tell me they finished with my car, then when I denied their additional services that I didn't come for, they still needed an hour or so with my car to finish up. It does feel a bit sketchy.

Each time I called, the front desk person was very friendly and professional. After the service was done, I had a very basic question that I felt silly to ask about, but they were sympathetic and enthusiastic in explaining it to me. I will always be grateful for that.

Where do I begin...this shop is top notch and I understand why they're highly rated.I went to Gary's for a second opinion after the first shop I went to didn't even inspect my car (literally drove it for 2 minutes and never put it on the lift) and quoted me over $1300 to fix what they guessed was the problem, which ended up not being close to what the issue was.When I called to set the appointment with Gary's, they took all of my information and my description of what was happening. Once I arrived for my appointment, Tony greeted me like I was a high value customer even though I'd never been there before. He already had my name and information pulled up and all he had to do was enter additional details in the record. I've never experienced that type of efficiency in an auto service shop. I gave him my key, verified my contact information, and was out the door.A few hours later, I'm talking to Tony and he goes into meticulous detail of what they did to diagnose the issue. Long story short, it was possibly a known manufacturer issue and he recommended that I see the dealership to confirm instead of charging me to fix something that may not resolve the problem. Tony even gave me a printout of the manufacturer notice to take to the dealership. I was taken aback and right there, Gary's Automotive gained a customer for life.It's very rare that you find an automotive shop with high character. That's customer service. That's integrity. That's who I want to do business with. If you need service for your vehicle, please go here because as Tony told me (and I experienced), they may not always have the lowest price, but they do great work and they'll be completely honest with you.
