Welcome to Galloping Gertie's Garage - we're excited to be a new addition to the Gig Harbor community. We offer premium service to discerning motorists maintaining and enhancing their precision European automobiles. We want our work to have meaning. Providing service isn't a transactional activity for us.
We offer premium service to discerning motorists, maintaining and enhancing their precision automobiles. Here are a few of the services we offer. Damien and his crew are absolutely the best at auto diagnostics and repair. My 1999 Mercedes E320 had 250,000 miles on it when I brought it to him. It meant a lot to me that Damien treated it with great respect and care.
I was new to town and looking for work. I went through a dozen job interviews when I stumbled upon Integrity First Automotive. During the Interview with Damian I knew my search was over. He wowed me with his passion for revolutionizing the industry by providing service beyond industry standards. I'd say he works day and night to reach this goal but that would imply that he views what he does as work.
More valuable are your Rewards. A workplace where your opinion matters, a team that supports you, an opportunity to make lasting change in the industry, and best of all: getting paid to be an advocate for your clients. The role will be a progression where you will master service, administrative, and management duties.
It is a sad reality of our industry that the understanding of internal combustion engines and their governing principles is becoming a lost art with today's automotive technicians. As a kid in the 1970s I enjoyed learning engine basics in school. Remember? Four strokes: Intake, Compression, Power, Exhaust.

Prior to my experience with Galloping Gertie's Garage, I’d used the same mechanic for over 20 years, which is located on the east coast. It’s hard to match the relationship and trust that I had with my previous garage. Damian was honest and up front about the work my vehicle needed. He took the time and researched all my options. GGG was able to get the work done in a few days, considering most garages in the area were booked 3 weeks to 3 months out. Don’t hesitate if you’re in need of repairs, GGG has earn my business as long as I’m on this side of the narrows. Thank you!

We had a great experience with Galloping Gerties Garage with our Maserati. We were a little nervous about not taking the car to Seattle to the dealer for service work, but are totally happy with everything that was worked on right here in Gig Harbor. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Galloping Gerties Garage. I had a headlight that needed replacing last minute before a road trip on my Range Rover Sport (which is tricky to replace). Damian went out of his way to get me in the next morning right before I needed to head out. He finished up quickly with a job well done. The shop is beautiful and sparkling clean and the waiting room was really nice as well. I will be doing all of my repairs here from now on.

Galloping Gerties did the first out of dealer service on my 2013 BMW 335 X Drive M Sport with 44,000 mi on Sept.7. The operation was clean professional and very thorough. There where no issues with the car. They did recommend a couple of preventive measures including the oil EPR procedure that I had done. I would recommend this shop to others. Russ

Damian's Integrity Inspection report is one of the most easy to understand and professional forms of communication that I've ever seen from a mechanic, and I've had my VW for 18 years. I appreciate the straight-forward and caring approach here and will be a return customer!

Being new to the area, I called Damian at Gerties Garage for repairs needed on my 2005 E320. Right off the bat, I had a great feeling about this garage. Damian was professional, knowledgeable and I felt he truly cared about me and my car. At first meeting we set up a repair plan to get me back on the road. the list was though and complete. An estimate was given. I was kept informed about the service being rendered daily till the car was complete. Damages were extensive due to a recent accident, and my car was repaired mechanically to like new condition. Very friendly and caring crew. I was impressed

Gerties is the BEST auto mechanic that I have worked with, in my 28 years of driving. They do great work, are thorough, honest, quick, and spend the time to explain all the work needed or recommended, and the pro's/cons of doing the work or not doing the work. We purchased a used Range Rover Sport and started with their Integrity Inspection Report (highly recommend) to get a good baseline for the status of all the components. Sometimes they have a 2-3 week scheduling delay only because of their high-quality work. They're definitely worth the wait.

Damian not only performed an oil change on my newly acquired 2014 Mini Cooper, he performed a complete check up on everything. This discovered that the brake fluid was long overdue for a change so he also completed that service as well. Damian also followed up several days later with a phone call to ensure that everything was operating as planned and no problems or questions came up post service. I am very happy to have found a dealer alternative to perform regular maintenance on my Mini that I can trust without hesitation. Thank you Damian for help and assistance. I will be back!

Damian and the technicians at Gerties Garage are excellent. Had my Land Rover in for a leaky water pump which was diagnosed and fixed quickly and at a fair price. Additionally, Damian went through the entire vehicle and created a customized maintenance plan at no additional charge. Unlike most shops that 'fix and forget' I received a call from Damian a few days after the repair to check up on my vehicle. A check engine light had come on after the service and Damian and team promptly took the truck back in and went through everything to ensure it there was nothing wrong. In my long history of owning

Damian and his crew (Nick+) really stepped up to the challenge of fixing "Christine!" I had inherited my mother's 1992 Lexus SC400 and she sat around for almost five years with only an occasional short drive and even less-occasional start. When we finally did get serious about trying to drive this luxury sports coupe, she literally "took off" with a vengeance!!
