I have been getting my car fixed here for over 4 years. This is a great place. Everyone is so friendly. Being a single lady I really feel like some shops will try to take advantage of women. But not this shop. I feel their prices are fair and they are really good people. They offer drop off in the mornings which I love. I bought a brand new car 2 years ago and I still take my car here for oil changes and tire rotation.

I really like this spot. I'm new to the area from out of state so I've had to do quite a few things with my car so far (inspection, oil change, tire rotations etc) and EVERY time I call and/or come in, they are so pleasant, accommodating & professional. The prices are fair. And with COVID being an issue right now, they aren't overbooking, keeping the traffic in the office to a minimum and as I sit here, they are literally sanitizing the front door handle and seats every time someone comes in or out. I will def be coming here for all my car needs!

They charged me more than $50 for replacing a single headlight bulb. It was a bit too expensive in my view. They also took much longer than I expected for such a simple job. That experience motivated me to learn replacing headlight bulbs on my own, which is a good thing I guess. But I can only wonder how much they overcharge for other things. I'd be careful and shop around and know the exact price and time to complete the job before hand.

I had a similar experience to Brittany, with the exception of the fact that I allowed them to make the $700 "repair" on my car. The problem still wasn't solved. Had to have another mechanic look at it, at which time he told me there were a lot of loose parts on my vehicle and that the belt I've been complaining of was actually a belt that Gary's had to remove to replace the part they replaced. It was about to snap, which would have put me in grave danger on the road. There were a few other things they seemed deceitful about, however tough to prove. I will no longer

Cliffs Notes:
Decent and honest shop with highly personable, customer-oriented service. Post-repair bolt tightening could have been better. I'd use them again if I lived closer.
Unabridged version:
The alternator on my 2006 Acura TL went up and stranded me in Laurel. I did a quick search in Yelp, and these guys had decent reviews and were close by (knew I needed to be towed).
Tony was very polite and professional on the phone and in person. The waiting room is small but was nicely air conditioned and comfortable with a TV running old '70s shows like the Partridge Family (this is not

I recently moved to the Laurel area and decided to ditch the dealer that I used to take my car to for oil changes -- boy did I make a good decision! My first time at Gary's was great, with A+ customer service, a short wait time, and a fair price. Waiting room is a bit snug, but there is a nice TV and snack station to keep you occupied for the short wait. Very informative staff explained their findings from the complimentary car check after the oil change, and they didn't seem shady at all. I'll definitely be back as a regular

This was my first visit at Gary's Automotive and I will add it will not my be last! I came in for an oil change and received a complimentary "check up" on my vehicle! I was explained every part of the check up as to what is looking good to what will need future attention. In previous experiences at the Dealership service center, I never had someone really take the time to thoroughly go over things with me like they do at Gary's! They were honest and upfront about things unlike other places. The overall customer service was Great! From the free snacks and TV to watch while

Please do not take your vehicle here.
My engine started knocking horribly. I called and spoke with Gray and he said that if I had the vehicle towed there that it would be looked at the same day. WRONG! I had the vehicle towed to their location and got a bunch of "in a few hours" until the end of the day.
They didn't look at the car until the next day (which cost $200+) and when they spoke to me they told me that I needed a new catalytic converter and it would be $1500 to fix and it would take 2 days just to get the parts.
That didn't seem right to me and I ended up having

.....I think I've finally found a spot for all my auto needs!!
First of all...I came here because of the awesome Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad I did! I messaged them on Yelp about the issues I was having with my car and they responded promptly, telling me to come in when I get off work (ahem....this NEVER happens. Car places either want you to come in at a random time or keep your car all day smh) So I came right in (checked in of course, and scored a $15 off coupon!) and he looked at my car quickly, wrote me up an estimate and explained everything in detail. The price was good, and

I'm very suspicious by nature of any business that is car-related and recently stopped going to Omega Autowerks in Laurel. I took my car in for spark plugs which was fixed but then one of the mechanics said I needed a new head gasket. The head gasket was replaced a year ago with a new rubberized one. Not even a good sell, so I'm done with them.
On recommendations of a friend, I went to Gary's this week. The source of the grinding was hard to find but after two test drives, the mechanic, Junior" found it and it was very minor. They could have charged me a lot and only charged

They did a great job at a great price. I needed a new timing belt and water pump for my '98 Honda Civic LX. I got three quotes, and Gary's was the lowest by $200. I made an appointment and brought in the car. I was on a tight schedule and knew it would be an all-day job. Not only did they get it done; they got it done two hours early, which made my day so much easier. They also used brand-name, new (not rebuilt) parts, including 2-year/24,000-mile warranty.
I asked them to look over the car and they found that another auto shop had used nonstandard parts on a repair, resulting in damage
