Amazing staff! Very knowledgeable, did everything they could to fix my issue, and provided me with the best options. Their charges are extremely fair. I will definitely be coming back.

I feel like finding an honest, thorough, trustworthy mechanic is rare these days, but Gary's Automotive has put my nerves to rest. Not only are they nice personable guy's, but they also actually fix what you need fixed without telling you there's 10 more things you need done, and without charging you out of this world prices. At this point, they're honestly the best mechanic I've been to. I'm not even the type to make reviews, but I feel it's necessary with them because of how great they are. I wish I knew about them earlier, and I 10 out of 10 recommend them to anyone.

Absolutely spectacular work every time we bring our car in. They are so helpful and are able to fix problems that we were told would be difficult to fix. So friendly every time. Our favorite mechanic we’ve ever been to.

Coming from a poor experience at my last car shop, Gary's felt like a breath of fresh air. They fixed all the problems, explained in detail why they happened and what to do in future if it happens again, and charged me a very reasonable price! Will definitely be going back for what felt like a small-town/family-friend service in saint paul.

It can be tough finding a mechanic that will give a fair price on your service request and do honest work. Look no further as I've been through many shops but these guys stood out from the rest due to their work ethic and costs. I dropped my vehicle off to have the window regulator replaced and left them with the option of just doing the repair without reinstalling the additional equipment on the door. To my grateful surprise the techs reinstalled all equipment I had already uninstalled. This shop will take care of you and not break your bank in the process.

Gary & Greg and their staff are just simply Wonderful at their jobs. They can always fix my Subaru up and think outside the box when approaching problems. Very knowledgeable and never had to bring my old Subaru back in for the same problem because they fix it the first time thru. Very honest and good prices for excellent work! Highly recommend.

There are very few mechanics I trust. I have taken my car into several different places near my house, and when they tell me it needs major repairs, I take it to Gary’s Automotive for a second opinion. Sometimes the repairs were not necessary on a vehicle that is 20 years old, other times they were able to do the work for a much lower cost. I really trust them. I only wish they had some Saturday hours.

I don't know who owns Gary's auto but the men who operate it now are reckless and childish. Why would a business get involved in residents issues and on top of that take sides when its no ones business. I would stead clear of Garys/Rudy's auto on Como and Atwater on the north end of Saint Paul because they will rev your engine do burnouts and sit and drink beer while working and sitting in your vehicle. If you don't believe me I have video so feel free to contact me.

Wow, This place is awesome. It is hands the best auto place around. I felt like I knew them my whole life. They were fast friendly effectant as well as hospitable and welcoming. Best pricing and honest!!! Greg is straight up with no frills or mark ups. My father passed away a few years ago (he did ALL the work on my vehicles) and I have been struggling to find auto repair “home” this is it! Thank you for all your help!!

I never buy new, only used. Every single repair done here has been done well, for a fair price. Gary and Greg are knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I have been going here for years (since 2001) and will not bring my cars anywhere else.

My daughter brought her Subaru in because the power steering fluid was low. They inspected the car and found minor seepage. The fluid was topped off so we can monitor the situation. She was only charged for the fluid. No labor. This is an honest shop. I believe she just found her new local mechanic

My family and I have been taking our cars here for years. Gary and Greg are great to work with. They are honest, fast, and their pricing is affordable. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

First time using this shop, and wish I had known them way before. Call them with brake issues and within 2 hours I was in and out and a very fair cost. Dont need to ever look for a auto repair shop again. I'm glad I found Gary's.

These guys are here to help! They let you know about what it is going to cost. So you know ahead of time. So you can make the decision if you want to do it now or later. Very professional and courteous. No high pressure anything.

A father and son team, these guys have always taken good care of me. Very reasonable labor rates. Very friendly and knowledgable. I highly recommend them for any automotive repair need.

I was took at this shop, the first tire I brought in was fix,but the second one all they did was put air on it and put a 15.00 dollars on the tire. They never fix the tire. So I advise you to go somewhere else. Crooked shop!
