I'm in love! I can't believe I have only just discovered Garys Automotive! Today my check engine light was on, and there was some concern about the drivability of the car, Auston had me come in, ran some diagnostics, topped up my oil and gave me a plan. He did this all last minute on a hot Friday just before they closed! Very grateful for such incredible customer service.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Simply the best! Even 5 stars doesn't seem adequate. My first ever Google Review was for Gary's Auto around 10 years ago and I feel it's time for an update. During that first interaction, Austin asked me what my goals were with my 2009 Honda Accord. I told him I wanted it to be running for when my then 6 year old daughter got her driver's license. Well, 10 years and close to 300,000 kms later, my now 16 year old is driving the Accord and it's running better than ever. It literally drives and rides like a brand new car and I know I owe it to Gary and Austin. Quite simply, they are the best. I'll admit that I am a very particular person; I like things done the right way, and these guys exceed my expectations every time. I actually enjoy going to the shop. It's meticulously clean, well run, and there's always some great back and forth banter. Who thought bringing a car to a mechanic could be this kind of experience? As I told Austin the other day, "I'm a customer for life".Service: Brake service & repair

Since December 2021, Our team has been going to Gary’s for all our maintenance needs. We drive a Subaru Forester and Mazda Miata and every time Austin has been competitive and detailed on his quotes (beats the dealers) on time with his scheduling and the quality of service is top.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality mechanic in Oakville.

This is my second time reviewing Gary’s. I’ve been taking my van to them for the past almost 5 years. Currently I’m out of town and have had to take my van in to mechanics I’m not familiar with and Austin has been available to answer my questions and give advice - even though he’s not getting money for these repairs. Austin even recommended that I might be able to do a repair myself recently - and I did, saving several hundred dollars. You get what you pay for and with Gary’s and Austin you get quality and peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is getting the best service out there. They are honest and super nice, too.Services: Wheel alignment

It's my first time to Gary's automotive. Austin is the best. He fixed my jeep in minimal time and with a very short notice. He is very knowledgeable and honest. He gives me a very reasonable estimate. Thanks guys. For your great service.

Gary, Austin, and the crew are simply the best. Everything about the experience is top notch. The guys are down-to-earth and genuinely like what they do - putting their amazing talents to good use. Maybe it's just me, but I honestly feel that my car drives better as soon as they've serviced it. Can't recommend highly enough.Services: Oil change

Alright Folks. I have been coming here for automotive service since 2013. So no “ schilling” going on here people.I will be quite succinct and frank here by attesting to the fact that the whole team here is the most honest and dependable independent automotive service shop out there.I mean they are “ Salt of the Earth “ good and trustworthy. Reviewers like to highlight the negatives which is their right to do so. However, the context is usually missing as emotions are always thrown into the review.Let me highlight a positive. The check engine light on my fathers car lit up several years ago.I drove it gingerly down to Gary’s to diagnose.Austin came out with his OBDI ( On board Diagnostic ) and discovered that my dad forgot to completely seal the gas ⛽️ cap after filling up at ESSO…. Ye gads !!!Austin cleared the code and said have a nice day …. Wait … no charge for his time and such ???? What is the deal here ???Well, the fact is simple in that Gary’s didn’t feel that this service warranted a charge. I was like wow…. To see and bear witness to such open honesty and ethics in the auto repair industry ( and we all know and/ or experienced the horror stories … and these stories are true) is beyond refreshing.Meeting the team at Gary’s restores your faith in humanity. In that someone truly believes in a fair charge for a honest repair. All in all, they are even APA ( Automotive Protection Agency ) approved. And that is no easy feat I can assure you all.This a grand slam home run into the upper bleachers !!!We all deserve to be treated fairly, honestly and ethically. And you will here ….Services: Brake service & repair

My son found Gary’s Auomotive and was full of praise for them when they serviced his Honda Civic . He particularly liked that his car was given a wash before it was returned.Since then I have taken my daughter’s VW Golf for fitting a set of tyres and then some engine diagnostics and repair.Their Customer Service is awesome - not just at the front desk- but the mechanics too while we were waiting.They don’t talk down to you - and we’re particularly diligent at explaining the work to my 21 year old daughter.We were kept informed about the repair and were prompt at replacing a belt tensioner which they tested and found it faulty. They kept the car overnight and didn’t give the car back until they were satisfied that the replacement was working properly.The final bill even came in about $75 cheaper than the quote - and when does that EVER happen?I drove MB cars until recently and always had the cars serviced at the Dealership. They were good too - but the cost was always breathtaking!Gary’s are great and definitely worth a try. I’m hooked.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

I contacted Austin at Gary's Automotive on Michelin's recommendation for a tire warranty claim on my BB8.5 A4. I was met with prompt and professional customer service. They were able to execute the acquisition of parts and conduct the repair with precision. From email contact to invoicing, I have not dealt with another shop that operates at this level. I would recommend Gary's Automotive to anyone. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thank you Austin for your continued support.Service: Tires
