Great service from a great team. I scheduled a next day oil change/tire rotation. Tuck the vehicle in the next day and the guy I spoke to accidentally made my appointment for the day I called. When I arrived to find that I didn't have an appointment, the crew still fit me in. Committed to service, which I highly value!

REVIEW EDIT: as of 1/3/25 My fiat is leaking again! Who would have thought! Dude who replied to me and allegedly called me - never did. They reply to Every negative review like that but I never received a call. I figured I could just let it go since they did fix one of my issues with my fiat; the fact it was leaking oil. But alas. Back to square one on that. Thanks for absolutely nothing. Gilsdorf garage are a bunch of swindlers and liars as far as I’m concerned. Original review: I think Lisa is lovely and has always treated me with kindness. She’s great, thanks for everything Lisa. Also thanks Gavin for taking care of my Fiat, even though my goal was completely ignored/overlooked. I took my Fiat in starting in September of 2023. My goal: pass emissions with the Fiat. There’s a check engine light on, so it will auto fail. Probably due to an oil leak I was aware of. I ask team at Gilsdorf to do the diagnostic (about $250 or more for that) and tell me what all is wrong with it. Comes back and I have a list of all the things that need to be done for the Fiat; which includes the coolant reservoir, valve gaskets and some standard oil and filter replacement work. Fine. With labor and everything it’s expensive so I have to save up money for it. I come back in January saving up money for a few months. Now a part is back ordered and I have to wait. We go ahead and spend about $1k to get the coolant reservoir replaced and fixed up but without the missing part i still have an oil leak. Check engine light is still on, means no emissions because it will auto fail. So we wait. Nothing to be done about a back ordered part, it’s an import I get it. I’m not upset about the wait. In June we get a call saying the part is in so we drop the fiat off to be worked on. Now we come to today when I picked it up. Great, she drives like a dream, we pay our $1.8k bill for the gasket and oil replacement and away I go. Straight to emissions. Where my fiat promptly failed! This is obviously frustrating; guess it’s my bad for not saying something when we picked it up? But I just kind of figured if I come in September to start this emissions quest and by June all the parts are here and it’s “fixed” that that would included the ability to pass emissions! Now we have to come back and pay another $282 fee to see what’s wrong with it that it failed emissions if I want Gilsdorf to fix it. No thanks! I’ll take it elsewhere. All in all what work got done on my fiat was great. However not sure how them taking almost $4k from me over 8 months and giving me back a car that will not pass emissions when that is what I brought it in for in the first place is really “five star” service.

I was able to make an appointment and be seen within a few days. They listened to all of my car issues and made really helpful suggestions. They looked at my car fairly quickly, but also thoroughly. The communication was great the whole time and I would really recommend!

Gilsforf is top notch with customer service, quality care and honesty. Their communication is detailed and frequent. I always know where my vehicle is in the process of repairs. We would not go anywhere else. Keep up the great work.

The tailgate on my minivan wasn’t working properly. Gilsdorf quickly diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, and installed them the next day. So excited to have my tailgate working again! Thanks!

My grandson took his car to Gilsdorf for a checkup. The service he got was so amazing, all four of the rest of the family are now his enthusastic custoners! I was amazed at how thorough and reasonable it was to have my car checked out. This place is the best in town by far!

This shop gives you everything you need, and nothing you don’t. I took my truck in for an oil change and received a complimentary comprehensive digital report. What an incredibly value. No ambiguity and no questions about the current state of my vehicle, with simple price quotes on future maintenance I might consider. And they had it in and out within four hours. Ben is great technician who was very helpful, friendly, and down to earth. Thank you!

Fantastic service. The shop took care of my AC issue in a timely manner. My classic Pontiac runs great because of the care provided by Gilsdorf Garage.

Terrifying brake failure Seemed great for other work but after coming in twice for other work explaining strange noise in rear passenger side they couldn't diagnose finally my brakes failed turning onto 14 west Just old car noises right? Scariest driving experience of my life I don't trust this shop They told me everything looks fine both times It wasn't fine and I almost hit a Ford going 55mph Brakes failed completely all fluid gone and one brake stuck in the location they said they heard no noises but now grinding metal and ruined

The crew at Gilsdorf is top notch! I have never had any issues or concerns about the results of their work. The office is polite, helpful, and friendly. The crew working on the vehicles are very good at what they do. They keep you updated throughout the repair process and communicate costs which are also reasonable in today's economic state. Five stars across the board.

Gilsdorf Garage always goes the extra mile to making my trucks work better. They fix what’s wrong and spot trouble before it starts. After 75 years in one location I guess they have figured out how to do this work right! Good prices and great value.

I’m a new customer who is wary of unknown mechanics. Customer service rep took time to answer all my questions. Dropping off car was easy. They provided a courtesy ride back home. There were updates on their progress with my vehicle via text and email throughout the day. Price for services seemed comparable. Price quoted was exactly what I paid. Giving 5 stars solely on the one interaction and service. Will take vehicle back to them in the future and will reassess rating if need be. ** 7-8-24 Update: Keeping 5 stars. The team was very upfront with what needed to be done. They provide updates via text/email through the service complete with pictures. There was no “up sell” energy. They were fair, seemingly honest, and comparable in their pricing of both service and product. I’m a chatter and very frugal. Both of those were greeted with kindness and understanding.

I took my car to Gilsdorf to have repairs on the A/C and found several other things that were in need of repair. They took the time and patience to work with the added repairs and keep me safe in my car. I am very happy and thankful that I took the car to a responsible repair shop who care about my safety. The technician did a great job and came in on his day off to finish the repairs.

This shop helped me out so much this morning! I had a complete flat, went to the 7-11 next door to fill up the air and to no avail I needed to put on my spare. I drove in their parking lot and started to work on it myself. Scott came out and changed it for me! Jacked it up, took off my flat and put on my spare! Something that would have taken me a half hour they had done in less than 5 minutes. Can’t recommend these guys enough! Next time I need my car worked on I’m coming and getting the work done here!!!

Very good experience. Everyone was very friendly and explained exactly what was needed to fix my car. They were very gracious to take me home so that I did not have to sit there and wait all day. I felt that they were being honest with me regarding what needed to be fixed and the cost. I was also very pleased that they left a note and gift card in my car when they finished the work. No other business has ever done that for me. Very nice gesture. Thank you. 😊

The team at Gilsdorf Garage took great care of our vehicle when it needed a pre trip inspection. They were very thorough and provided me with an inspection report highlighting the condition of our vehicle. They did not seek to do work that wasn't needing to be done at this time, but did make recommendations for future service. They also followed up with us to be certain that our trip was a safe one and uneventful. Will definitely use their service again in the future as repairs and maintenance are needed. They are very trustworthy.
