❤️❤️❤️ OCTOBER 19, 2025 UPDATE ❤️❤️❤️ After all of my phone calls to him for car advice and no matter how annoying I can be, Frank has never once lost his patience with me. Frank holds high standards of service, knowledge and hard work and he insists on the same for his employees. His prices are fair, he's honest and his education is extremely impressive. After I totaled my car frank helped me choose one without hesitation (probably because I kept bringing my choices to him only to have him say NO YO 😂😂). After more than a decade of trusting my safety with Gateway and thanks to Franks help ... Looks like I'll be a loyal customer forEVER 😜 The shop is open Mon thru Fri and his prices remain very fair. END UPDATE For years I have been able to rely on and trust the staff of Gateway Automotive. Today when my car died outside of the library I called the shop and Ryan assured me that if I towed it over they would take care of it so I did. I was immediately greeted by the staff and Ryan went straight to work. The problem was diagnosed and repaired in less than 2 hours. He was direct, accurate and incredibly helpful. I am grateful for his hard work. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I ALWAYS recommend this shop for the fact that they've never been wrong and have always been honest. Many times I've sent my friends to Gateway for second opinions and nearly every time their diagnosis was on point and way more affordable. It's hard to find an honest mechanic in this town... Gateway fills that need 😀

I’m a stickler on customer service, Frank and his team are amazing!! I’ve was going to another mechanic with one of my trucks, and they really didn’t take the interest in solving the problem with my truck. I went to Gateway and they new what they were dealing with. They were upfront about everything. They solved the issue and earned my trust. I’ve taken my other truck there with full confidence! As a business owner, integrity is everything. Gateway is the only mechanic I will ever trust! Much appreciated Frank! Jeff

Excellent customer service and very professional owner. Frank is a great guy and a man of his word. Hard to find these values anywhere else you can rest asure that you car is in good hands with him. Excellent eye for hiring good mechanics. Frank goes out of his way to make you feel like family.

Engine, check light still on almost a year and a 1/2 ago this process started. I spent $1500 to repair whatever to get the engine, check light off and it appears he's trying to soak me for every dollar. I'm not happy with this place.

I have brought multiple vehicle to this shop and always receive excellent service and advice from the guys at this shop. They are a local small business with a small but skilled crew. If you want a high end waiting room, go elsewhere. If you want a quality repair for a more than fair price, go see the guys at Gateway Automotive.

My family and I were visiting Lyons from CA. Long story short- the “check engine “ light came on after hitting a concrete mass under the car. Gateway was recommended . They checked the car out that day, charged me nothing and sure enough the car was fine all the way back to CA. We are not car people and needed some reassurance that we were safe to drive! The Gateway guys were extremely helpful! Thx🙏 Grateful in CA

Seems like some great people who genuinely want to help here at this place. Spent over $200 to replace my TPMS sensors which isn't a bad price at all. However lights came back on twice and had to go back both times. Both times I left with no light on my dashboard but the light came back quickly. My husband had to look into it himself and fix my light once and for all. I figured they probably just didn't know how to reset my TPMS sensors for my specific car. Overall the service was good, waited a little too long for my second visit but I had nothing planned anyway so I overlooked that.

I was recommended this place by my brother. I rarely trust any place to take my vehicles to due to alot of half asz work and money hungry mechanics, thats y i do it myself But this place fixed my vehicle problem that im not able to fix myself and i dont have certain tools to do so. also a really good price and fast at it when they got to it lol But it did took 2 1/2 days for them to get to it. I rather wait couple days to have it done right and for a really good price. Thanks a lot guys. If any other problem i cant fix on my vehicles im coming back to yall.

My boyfriend has this run down 86 f-150.. they patched it all up and got the clutch repaired without me even having to go down there and meet them face to face... which for a mom of 5 is something thats greatly appreciated. They were fair with the pricing as well. Laid back staff but smart at hell. Thanks for making this as quick and painless as possible. Zip ties to hold the slave cylinder is not a good idea according to Alan. 😂 oops. And I thought zip ties fixed EVERYTHING!? lesson learned. Dont make the same mistake we did and try to DIY repairs to save money. Ended us costing us more in the long run. Thanks Gateway for saving us from becoming a 1 car family of 7. 😚
