Gil’s garage does very good work and only perform what is needed to get the car safely on the road. Personal are very courteous and trustworthy. I recommend Gil’s garage to any one who needs to repair his or her car. They are honest and consult you every step of the way for what is needed

My 2012 Toyota recently lost heat and soon after had Check Engine light. They performed a comprehensive test to determine the rear heater core coolant line (metal) had a leak. They offered two options; replace metal line (very expensive), or cap existing line ; then replace with heater hose. I went with the later and I'm completely satisfied. Gil's is a trusted car care service provider who works to make your experience the best it can be, at least for me these last 11 years.

Once again, Gil’s came through for me in a crunch. I will use no other service, trusting them implicitly for any future work. I’ve been around the block over twenty times, so when I find someone competent and professional I stick with them. Kudos to Matt for exceptional communication and empathy.

absolutely impeccable business! I adore the people here and they are very attentive to your needs, cans, and wants. I've had to pace out my repairs for my car due to personal finances, but they're always there for you when you need them, as well as happy to explain certain procedures and what to expect afterwards; what's normal, what's not. just this morning, I realized they fixed my convertible top for me! normally this is something I'd consider going to a dealership for, but they do just as good if not better than one! this honestly brightened my day, thank you guys immensely for doing that for me. pricing is very fair, very deserving of the high quality work they perform, and I trust them highly. I appreciate the Gil's Garage family and their services. thank you guys for having me! -the lady with the tiny red beepbeep.

First time customer here and was extremely impressed with the entire experience. Had an issue with the alignment on my vehicle due to a rusted/seized bolt. Called Gil's and they took down my information for an appointment the following week. Dropped the car off in the AM, spoke with the advisor and he very thoroughly explained what they would do, what options it could end up being, and let me know they would contact me once they had it sorted out . Car was back to me around 5:30 that day and was charged reasonably for the services performed. So glad I ended up giving them a call because I know if I went to the dealer with this, they would have recommended I fix this issue by replacing other parts, to the tune of ten-fold what I paid with Gil's. I've lived in the area for 30 years and had always heard Gil's mentioned for quality auto-repair, it just blanked my mind until I was driving by the other day. Don't hesitate to contact them!

It was good. Gil’s is a busy place. During a prior visit, my F150 had new tire pressure sensor monitors installed. Gil’s rep said the new monitors would not cost $80 per monitor (that’s what Ford charges). Instead Gil’s charges $60 per monitor for a part that’s common in so many Fords and other vehicle brands that it’s about $8 per monitor online! Gil’s needs a new parts supplier? To make things worse, it wasn’t my tire monitors. It was the battery. The nine-year old battery started the truck just fine, but lacked sufficient charge to maintain a connection with the tire monitors, the parking brake sensor and run the auto stop/start function. As many reliable blogs suggest, when any vehicle from the last decade or so is throwing so many ‘faults’ or warning messages simultaneously (particularly when the auto stop/start stops functioning) check the battery before addressing the warning messages. It will save your customers lots of money in unnecessary diagnostics and repairs. I replaced my battery after that tire monitor repair visit and the parking brake warning stopped and the auto stop/start function is now operating properly. Other than that miss, Gil’s does a great job maintaining our 2015 F150, an older 911, and our RAV4. ****In Gil’s response to my review, they indicate that they solved my problem… a weak battery. In their rush to replace my tire pressure monitors, they overlooked by battery issues. I solved the problem that Gil’s overlooked!****

I recently had an outstanding experience at Gil's Automotive in Burnt Hills, NY, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel right at home. Their customer service is truly exceptional; they treat you like family and go above and beyond to ensure you feel valued. The expertise and knowledge of motor vehicles displayed by the staff are impressive. They took the time to explain the issues with my car in a way that was easy to understand, and their recommendations were spot on. I felt confident that my vehicle was in capable hands. What stood out to me was their fair and competitive pricing. I’ve been to other shops where I felt overcharged or pressured into unnecessary services, but at Gil’s, I found their prices to be reasonable and transparent. Overall, if you're looking for a reliable automotive service that combines expertise with a personal touch, look no further than Gil's Automotive. They truly set the standard for what a customer-focused business should be!

Although I could only book an appointment online over a week away, my vehicle was towed to Gils on a weekend and they called two days later to get approval to start working on the vehicle. I added some items and they said OK without hesitation. Expert work and she runs beautifully. Gils treats my 1991 Jag XJS v-12 convertible like a queen whereas virtually all other repair facilities cant meet the challenge.

I have been a Gils Garage customer for years. late last year, when I purchased my 2019 Ford Escape, I called the dealer and asked how much they charged for an oil change? I was told I have to talk with the Parts Department first then the Service Department. Subsequently, I was sent to the Parts Department and placed on hold for approx 5 min. The Parts Tech came back with the wrong info as he looked up the parts for a 2.5L and I had told him I had a 1.5 engine. that was enough for me and hung up. I called Gils and Matt at the front desk gave me an immediate cost! This recent trip I met with Holly, very friendly and efficient! I no sooner handed her my keys and within minutes, my car was in the bay being serviced! Gils it is!!

I tried to replace a hub bearing on a Subaru. After struggling with it for several days, totally mangling it with a sledge hammer, slide hammer, air impact hammer, and finally an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel, Gils saved the day. Without an appointment, they were able to get the vehicle in relatively quickly and replaced both rear hub bearings for me. Cant thank them enough for this! They were extremely understanding with how I got to the point that I did, shared a few of their own horror stories with hub bearings and gladly said that they could help. Now, normally, I would expect a situation like this is a blank check. Not so for Gils! They were extremely reasonable and kept me informed throughout the process. I will definitely be back...hopefully before I start using an angle grinder again! Whole-heartedly recommend them!! Thank you, Matt and team!! Awesome people!

I caused a delay in my vehicle s inspection because I had just made a DIY repair and erased a code to reset the check engine light. I didn t drive it around nearly enough (40 miles, it needed 100!) after resetting it. They didn t complain and Jim even helped me use my own OBD 2 reader to know when I had driven it enough to finish the inspection. These people, and especially Jim in this instance, are the best!

Great service and always reliable! They do what s right for the customer without upselling. I thought I needed new tires but they let me know that I m set with my current ones until winter which was a huge relief! They caught an issue with my front struts during inspection and were quick with the repair after ordering the parts. Though I do recommend letting them know ahead of time what parts they need to order, just to make the process faster!

On my way to Gils Garage for an inspection on my 911 Carrera an unexpected event occurred. The clutch installed 6 years ago and with under 2000 miles had failed. It may have been caused from little use in the winter. Talking with Matt, the owner, he was able to work with me bringing the final cost down surprisingly low and with no charge for the tow. The sign of a great team rests at the leadership and that would be Matt. From customer service to the techs to the top I was always treated fairly and honestly. For quality and great service, I highly recommend Gils. Thanks to all the car is driving great.

Gill s Garage repaired my Mercedes C300 when Keeler Mercedes service center could not. After two years of back and forth with Keeler Mercedes, Gills identified the vehicles problem quickly and completed the work timely and professionally. They stayed in contact with me to discuss the work before and went over it again when I picked up the vehicle. Prior to my picking up the vehicle, they drove it and went through a thorough inspection to be sure the car performance met my standards and addressed my concerns. So pleased. Big shoutout to Gills Garage. Thank you!

I had an appointment for my starter at a garage Ive been using in Middleburgh for 10 years, but my starter failed a few days before my appointment and I was at work in Mechanicville, so I had it towed to Gils. Id never used them before but the reviews looked good and it was within the 20 miles my insurance would allow for towing. I let them know it was my starter and it had already been tested. When they called me they told my its definitely the starter, they tested it, and that it would cost $970. My garage in Middleburgh was charging me $500. I looked up the job on All Data and it says 1.5 hrs labor. I asked for a breakdown of what they were charging and they were charging me for 2.5 hours of labor, regardless if it actually took that long. He mentioned a fee to test the starter +which can be done for free at any AutoZone, etc ), and then told me the starter was $470 and will be covered by their garage warranty. I asked to use a Napa starter that comes with a lifetime warranty and he told me they dont do that. Hes used those before and they dont always work then Im looking at twice the cost for labor, which seemed like a scare tactic to me. Ive used them without problems and know of plenty of garages that use them as well. I found I could have my car towed to my garage 40 miles away for $220 so I let them know I was having my car picked up because it was saving me a couple hundred dollars even with the tow. He said I could buy a starter from Napa and drop it off if thats what I wanted but they wouldnt warranty it. At that point I had already lost trust in the person I was dealing with. He wasnt coming down on the labor costs. I had my car towed to a garage I know and trust and saved a few hundred dollars. I felt like they were trying to take advantage of me. He lied to me about the time the job would take and was unwilling to use the part I wanted until I threatened to have my car picked up. I feel like they will try to rip you off if your car is towed there and they think youre stuck, and also if you dont know basics about car repairs and costs. They were charging almost double what my garage charged and Ive never had an issue with my garage. I feel like theyre always finding ways to save me money. My first Honda Accord was taken care of by them and it went close to 300K before it died. I think Gils is ripping people off. Over charging for labor and using scare tactics to inflate costs of parts, etc.

1st time there. Called for a repair quote. Took 4th day to get it, cause i had to call back and ask again. Then quote was higher at checkout cause the person quoting forgot a couple small parts tht were involved. I can deal with that. The lack of call backs w this place has been an issue in the past as well but i ended up using other places cause Gils tends to be more expensive for same repairs. I use Mohawk Honda alot. Not sure whyd thy be more expensive than Mohawk. Mohawk has much higher overhead!!! Is what it is i guess. I will call around and always get best price. But Gils....i need someone to actually call me back!!!! Lol

After having my car checked at the dealership, I was told I had a leaky transfer case. They had just completed the NYS inspection and it passed. The dealer said I had to have it done right away. I didnt see any evidence of any leaks on the garage floor. So my daughter recommended Gils garage. They checked the car, very thoroughly, even took pictures of the undercarriage and showed me that nothing was leaking. They even didnt charge for the visit That was a blessing. I am on a fixed income and every bit of savings help Gils garage is honest and explain whats going on. They are my mechanics for the long haul. Nice to have honest people in such a corrupt world. Many prosperous years for them. .

Not just 5 , but also 5 !! Matt, Holly, and the rest, are always honest, kind, and thorough. Feels like family after 12 years of excellent service on our multiple vehicles. Most recently, Matts great advice, saved our grandson at least $5,000 of repairs, on a used car consideration. Matt highly suggested having the vehicle put on a lift to be checked out, before purchasing. After doing so, our grandson, not having the funds, declined purchasing the currently unsafe vehicle. The search now continues , and our grandson learned an important lesson. Gils garage cares about you staying safe on the road. Thanks Gils !! ( they also have a garage in Clifton Park if thats closer for you.)

My visit to Gil s was a simple NYSI for our 22 Telluride. I was asked once if there was anything else we might need and that was it. The repeated cross selling at the chains can get very irritating, hence why we go to Gil s.
