Gils Auto Sales, Elmira NY

Gil’s is pretty much the only place we take our vehicle any more. They a cheaper than most of the shops we have taken our cars to in the past. They’re pretty old school so they’re very blunt and don’t sugar coat anything. They’re honest and will show you exactly what is going on with your vehicle before they start working on things. They let you know what needs to be fixed ASAP and what can wait for a little while. All in all I really like this shop and respect the men that work here. One of the only cons I’ve found with them is they’re chain smokers. My car always smells like smoke for a few hours after I pick it up. So I try to remember to take my kids car/booster seats out before dropping my car off to try to avoid as much third hand smoke as possible. If that’s not a deal breaker for you I definitely suggest taking your vehicle here.

These guys are honest. I usually diagnose my auto issues before going to them and they listen to what I say. They have never tried to tell me something I needed if I hadn’t already indicated it. They treat me with respect and I appreciate that. I drive almost an hour to have Gil’s service my 4 vehicles

I moved from out of state, I was not happy with an experience from another shop. A friend suggested Gils, I have never been happier with an auto shop. These guys are friendly, honest, and quick. The rates seem reasonable, and if they can't do something they will refer you to someone that can do the work required. Customer service iver making a buck. The only down side is they are always bussy, I suggest making an appointment.

Horrible service! I took my car there 2 years ago to get fixed, even bought the parts brand new they charged me 900 dollars for the fix and 4 months later the same problem arose. They did not want to fix it and whatever they did made my check engine light come on after I picked it up and they wanted me to pay for them to fix it! Horrible job! Please don't take your car there I never will again

Not the BEST with customer service they're kind of old school kind of gruff and can be kind of short and to the point with you which makes you think they are being rude but generally they're good people. They will do fair work for a good and fair price.

Reasonable prices and very helpful! They have helped my family for awhile now.:) Glad there are still some decent people in this world!
