It feels good when you can TRUST your mechanic
I’ve been bringing my vehicles to Gary’s for many years, and they’ve always taken excellent care of me. The communication is always top-notch, and I truly appreciate how they keep me informed throughout the process. This winter, I had to have my car towed to the shop, but fortunately, it turned out to be a minor issue that they were able to quickly diagnose and fix. If repairs are expensive, I feel better knowing I'm getting a fair price and the work is done right. I highly recommend Gary’s to anyone who needs help with their vehicle.

2005 AUDI TT left front CV AXLE
Austen found the CV axle boot had torn, and was loose by 1/4" or more, headed for breaking.. He had it done in 1.5 hours. Very accurate and diligent worker. Thank you, Austen!
Gary R. from Gary's First Class Car Care responded on 02/10/2025 09:36 AM

We appreciate your recognition of Austen's expertise and efficiency; he certainly knows how to keep those axles in check without breaking a sweat. Your safety is our top priority, and we're glad to hear you're back on the road!

They are also as honest as the day is long and explain everything to you in clear layman’s terms before they service your car. Their prices are extremely reasonable. I urge you to give them a try………you will definitely not be disappointed. Dr. Marcie Parker, Chanhassen, Minnesota.

Great service and craftsmanship!
Gary's did a great job on my routine oil change and inspected the overall "health" of my car. They were able to fix another issue the same day and save me from making another appointment and having my car in the shop an extra day.
