GT Automotive has been coming to my rescue for years. I can always count on them when needed. Even with major repairs, I have received my vehicle back in a timely manner and repairs were done at a fair price. Over time, I have utilized their quality service, professionalism and fairness for many different types of vehicles.
They have always come through with the same superiority. They keep you up-to-date while your vehicle is there and I always know what to expect. No surprises here. I feel lucky to have an automotive service company that I can trust. Thank you GT! GT Auto carries the full line of Torco Racing Fuels.

Services
I have been a customer of GT Automotive for over 5 years and in my opinion the "GT" stands for "Genuine" and "Trustworthy!" The staff is always friendly and the quality of service exceeds all expectations! I appreciate the honesty and the time that the technicians take to explain the repairs and even show you your old/broken parts!
GT Automotive is the main Amalie distributor for the Louisiana and Mississippi areas. GT Automotive recommends Amalie premium synthetic lubricants for you because it is the most advanced synthetic motor oil available on the market. Performance gains vary depending on the type of vehicle, overall condition of the vehicle, and driving habits.
Over time, a buildup of fuel deposits can cause partial blockage of the fuel injector. There is also often a build up of carbon on the back of the intake valve and in the combustion chamber. This buildup can cause uneven combustion to occur. The carbon buildup on the back of the valves can act like a sponge soaking up fuel before it makes it to the combustion chamber.

My fiancé attempted to get his tires changed here but because he and the owners son were fighting they made him go get his tires changed elsewhere. totally disrespectful in my opinion. i DO NOT recommend this place. such an inconvenience and so immature. they also charge super high prices for work you could go get done elsewhere.

GT Automotive are my go to guys (and gals). Two years ago, when I first went to them right before a big road trip, I told them in my naive youth "charge me whatever you want but I need to make sure this car is safe to drive 1000 miles". They could have made anything up to make a quick buck but when I picked up my car they said all I needed was an oil change. And that's when I knew....Since then, I take my car to them for everything and I recommend them to everyone I know. They are super friendly, quick, trustworthy, and always get the job done. I won't go anywhere else. Thanks GT :)

I've written rave reviews on GT Automotive in the past. I stand by the work the work they have done in the past. I'm not too knowledgeable on cars, and that's why I go to a mechanic.
This last transaction with them gave me pause. I have been going to GT probably over 6 years. They have been my go to for anything under my hood. Never had an issue.
The problem this time was my rear door handle fell off. I went through a lot of back and forth with them on this. The door handle fell off in March. I brought the car to them and the had the car 3 whole days... for a door handle. Day

Greg the owner is really nice! I called and asked for an oil change and he said come on in. Usually you have to make appointments in advance for this , but he was so kind to let me come right away. They got the job done so fast I was shocked. I'd be coming here regularly for my car if I lived here but I live in Brooklyn. I definitely recommend having this shop as your go to mechanic.

With many years of experience, they bring quality and professionalism to the table every single day. Greg and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and do a fantastic job at what they do best, caring for your vehicle. I have used them throughout the years and they are always consistent at what they do. They are honest and fair priced. This is my go to mechanic!

I have been using GT Automotive for a few years and have found them to be reliable, exceeding good at repairs and very trustworthy. I have gone there a few times expecting to have replace certain parts only to be informed that no, I didn't need to spend all that money on the parts, that it was another (invariably less expense) problem. They are absolutely the best!

It's hard to find an auto mechanic that you can trust to not only fix your vehicle but to be fair and honest on pricing. If you are still on the hunt, look no further because GT Automotive is that place! Very knowledgeable, very trustworthy, with reasonable prices! Give them a shot for any mechanical issues!

Just got my 2002 Toyota Highlander back from GT Automotive. They did everything I asked them to do and then some. Not only did they complete the job in a timely manner but I feel the prices were reasonable for the work performed. Not only that but I got the SUV back looking strangely much better than when I brought it in. I asked Greg if they had cleaned the tires (which I remember still had some spillway mud on them) and he said they had done not only that but had cleaned the rest of the outside too! What an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
So, for all the above reasons, I

When I moved to New Orleans over a decade ago I didn’t know any reliable places to get work done on my car. I am so glad someone suggested GT Automotive to me.
I even prefer to take my car to them to get my oil changed rather than those “quick” places because I know that they’re not going to try to sell on me on everything under the sun. If they do see something that’s a concern, they’ll let you know without it feeling like your talking to a pushy salesman.
GT is the ONLY place my family and I will bring our vehicles.Greg and the team are personable, professional, honest, and fair

Used to bring my car there until prices started to get jacked up on me for minuscule things I would have them do (I guess they figured I kept coming back so I had money). Nope, was just being drained from GT Automotive. I scheduled with them to only be rescheduled 3 different times (mind you I live 30 minutes away) and finally I was the one that didn't show up for the third time. My friend did the work for me that was "very labor intensive" and quoted at $300 in 45 min while I was in one of my classes. These guys are clowns. Also had gauges installed that stopped working shortly

These guys are awesome. The short version is that they're fast, honest, reliable, and know what they're doing. They get you in, get it fixed, and get you back on the road before you even know what's happening.
I should have written this review a year ago when they first pulled my car out of the figurative fire, but I wanted to wait and see how things held up. I'd gone to a different place to get my spark plugs changed and they messed it up horribly. Took it to GT the next day and they replaced all the spark plugs and the burnt out solenoids. It worked flawlessly.

DO NOT bring your vehicle to this place. I thought that I trusted them with my first repair. I brought in my car for another issue several months later and they broke an important piece of my vehicle. They agreed to fix it at a rate twice the amount of another shop. When I tried to explain that they had already charged me more than other shops for the service itself and broken an important piece on my vehicle - they were misogynistic and duplicitous. They berated me by saying - "We helped you." No, you repaired my car at an elevated rate and then proceeded to verbally chastise me on multiple

I read all the great reviews and took my car in a few weeks ago. Battery wasn't charging and I specifically mentioned that I figured it was the alternator. They took a week checking it and said they couldn't find anything wrong. I picked it up Friday for $120 and it wouldn't start Saturday morning. Took it to my old shop uptown, they diagnosed and replaced the alternator and I had it back in two days. Greg and the team are nice guys and I had high hopes, but I should've just stuck to my shop uptown. Maybe it was an off week, but I won't be bringing any of my vehicles

As good as it gets for sure. These guys are true professionals. High quality technicians on staff. Drop by for maintenance and you will see for yourself how cool these guys are. I used a Groupon voucher for a deluxe oil change. I knew going in that their will be some add ons. They told me that I needed a transmission flush. Greg took me in the back to show me the machine and to explain the process and why it's important. I trust them with my car. It's hard to find people to trust, especially when it comes to automotive mechanics. I trust these guys.

I have been taking my car to GT Automotive for years, and will continue for years to come. They are very helpful anytime I need to put my car in the shop for a fix or maintenance or just need an oil change. Oil changes are done quickly, and if any repair work needs to be done they usually only need a day or two to get everything fixed. More often than not they only need one day, especially if I drop it off when they open.
Just a tip, it's always better to call ahead and let them know why your bringing your car so they can be better prepared to help when you arrive.
Keep up the good work

Brought in '98 Olds van for repairs. They took the van apart, but failed to put it back together properly. The passenger side front end dropped almost to the ground within a few weeks......they had not reassembled the front end properly, causing damage to the frame, front end and tire. All in all, we had the van towed to another company, Mike's Automotive, on Mandolin St. and he repaired everything. (I cannot repeat the words he used when he saw the condition our van was in when it arrived.)
