GTS Auto Center

$ 25 for labor and a new light bulb. In and out within 10 mins.

Dennis is honest, open to questions, and fair in pricing! Price for a diagnostic is $ 45, but when he discovered it was an easy fix (skid plate was half detached and causing my rattling sounds) he not only didn’t charge me extra for the fix, but he also only charged me $ 25 total!

Fast and professional. These guys kept me informed about how long it would take, and they even came up slightly under budget and in slightly less time. Car was in great shape afterward, and they were quite friendly, too. I’ll be going back to them if/​when necessary!

Just have to say how great these guys are. I’m decent with cars, but I like to go to these guys for the big stuff. Danny put in my st coilovers, light weight pulley, and full exhaust. He is a honest guy and gives you a great price. It’s hard to find a good mechanic and this place is very very honest and they do great work. I should of gave them a review long ago.

Helpful, quick, reasonable price for a small repair on a BMW (replace back tail light). Very convenient location (there’s a good coffee shop across the street to hang out in while you’re waiting) They charged me $ 15 for the new light and installation. $ 15 to fix a BMW! (Well, not a new BMW, of course). In and out in about 10 minutes. It doesn’t get better than this with car repair.

I highly recommend this place. The headlight and signal lights doesn’t work on my Audi TT occasionally and I’ve asked couple of place for an estimate price. It’s a weird problem so some of them asked me $ 300 for the labour time of checking and it doesn’t include the parts fix (since they don’t know where the wrong is), after that I went there, they asked me $ 45 for find out the wrong and I accepted. Later they called me said they find out the wrong part and asked me $ 290 for everything include the checking fee, I accepted and it only costed they 3 hours to repair my car. After that I asked my friend who owns an auto repair shop and he said that price is really reasonable. My car runs excellent now, I will definitely go there next time as my primary choice.

very good price, friendly ppl, fast and reliable, i am glad i found out this place close to my place and recommend ppl in my family cause we speak vietnamese. the guys here speak Chinese and English (of course) as well. opposite is a nice fresh brewed café where u can sit and wait for ur car service. and next is niji sushi with the best sushi i ever had (ask for super chirachi bowl…) there r more surrounding like authentic korean food (totoro), or vietnamese noodle (phở Chau), or taiwanese milk tea (verde)… and i can’t say enough how fun and nice about quality and reasonable about price this street offers right in the busy downtown mountain view

I needed a new set of tires. Tires were replaced with complimentary alignment. Much better price than Midas.

Danny and Dennis are both very friendly. Prices are reasonable.
Easy to park and convenient to check out Mountain View downtown while waiting for service.

They’re kinda friendly, I guess. I brought my car in because it was stalling at random times when I pulled up to a stop sign. I had him take a look and he recommended I replace the «air idle vavlve, air idle vavle gasket, and coolant temp sensor». He also recommended I get my engine gaskets fixed along with my timing belt and the other belt and something else for $ 850 next time. In the end, I paid him $ 445 for the job and it did not solve my problem. Infact after I got my car back, my car started cutting out at stop signs without warning rendering me unable to brake AT ALL. Prior to this my car would shake and then stall but I would still be able to use the brakes to stop. To my horror, I rear ended another car as a result of this. So I took it to another shop and had those 3 recommendations fixed in addition to a whole bunch of other procedures for $ 650 at another shop. Not to say that GTS auto tampered with my car because I have no evidence to support it, but the $ figures speak for themselves. I’m not too keen on auto care and I’ve learned my lesson. This is what happens when a naïve person who knows nothing about cars walks into a mechanic shop for the first time. Now I know, always ask for my parts back.

Wow! Truly the best auto mechanic service I’ve ever had. My poor old Ford Focus broke down in the middle of Castro Street in Mountview, CA one afternoon. Just by chance I had visited Danny at GTS that morning to ask about an oil change, so I ran back over to beg for help. Danny and Vincent dropped what they were doing — pushed my car back to their workshop — and after diagnosing a broken timing belt, had her fixed and road worthy in less than 24 hours. They also gave me that oil change I needed and the price was stunningly cheap. They really went above and beyond and I’m very grateful I met them. If you are looking for a great mechanic then look no further.

Honda dealer wanted to do service on my brakes for $ 550. GTS did it for $ 200 less, and no problems since. Voila! My new service place.

Nelson E. below, who knows way more about cars than I do, recommended this place to me and so, when I finally decided I couldn’t overlook my odd brake behavior anymore (tended to lurch abruptly when I had to break with any degree of suddenness), I checked them out.
Actually, with no Unilocal photo (something I’ve since remedied), I drove by this place at first! I would never guess there was a car repair shop nestled in this cozy downtown spot. As you might guess, they don’t have a ton of capacity, but they were forthright with me on the phone before I got there as to how long it would take to look at my car, and, once they completed the inspection, how long it would take to get it fixed.
Another thing is that the guy was actually good about calling me on the phone and updating me as to what needed to be done, and when it was finished. A lot of otherwise good-​to-​decent places say they will call you and then never do so. If you are, (and let’s be honest some of you probably are) concerned that a Chinese-​run place will fall down when it comes to communication, let me assure you that actually the communication is far better than average, and totally free of condescension (I never understand why other guys sneer at you for being ignorant about cars, when our ignorance is what keeps them in business).
My brake repair came out to $ 280, which seemed reasonable enough. The waiting room is definitely not so comfy, but who cares when the repair shop is in a nicer location than almost any other! (Sure beats Stevens Creek Blvd. for instance!). I did not at all mind working remotely in the various area coffee shops, let me tell you.
A hidden gem! I hope you don’t have to get your car fixed, but go here if you do!

Great service, low prices, highly recommended. What a great service to have right downtown.

I’ve been going to GTS Auto for almost six years now. My boyfriend referred me to them when my 1997 Ford Taurus started to have some issues, and I’ve been very happy with the service I’ve received for everything from basic oil changes to tune-​ups and specific problems. The two mechanics are Danny and Dennis. Danny is completely with it and remembers your face, name, and car after just one visit. I don’t know Dennis as well, but both of them are polite, knowledgeable, and actually listen to you when you describe what’s wrong with your car (as opposed to my dad’s mechanic, who seems to consider women incapable of providing useful input). They’ve successfully diagnosed and fixed a number of problems with my car. There have also been times when I’ve asked them to check out something and they told me that it didn’t need fixing. Honest mechanics are hard to find!
Unless I bring my car by late in the afternoon, they can usually fix it the same day. I really appreciate the way their time and price estimates are spot on, and I completely trust them with my car. I no longer work in downtown Mountain View, but I still take my car to Danny whenever anything goes wrong.

Don’t know about the service. But they just quoted 60 – 120 less than 4 other shops I got quotes from. Unfortunately, I need my car by Monday and they cannot fix it until Monday afternoon. The owner was willing to drive me home (which is about 5 mins from the shop) after I dropped off the car.
I will give them a try next time for sure.

When we were selling the old car, we decided to take it for mechanic check and fix some of the important stuff. Passed by this place and checked the car for $ 50, and when we decided to fix the car, we got the $ 50 off: P…and for all the repairs, it’s about half of what the other mechanic estimated!
We are very happy with their service, honest in their work, and very good price! I will go back again if ever something happen to the cars… Ah forgot to mention, they cleaned the painting scratch on the car for free! :)

Great and fast service; honest in their work and very reasonable prices. Dennis is very helpful and will take good care of you and your car. I will always go to him from a small oil change to a major service.

Danny, the owner appears to be honest. He worked on a few of my Honda cars and was able to resolve the problems. On one incident, the problem fixed appeared to result in a new problem. He and his team kept troubleshooting, even replacing the replaced part again to rule that out. He didn’t charge me for the extra troubleshooting, only the labor the the new problem found. He’s a very friendly person and has a great location in downtown Mountain View.

You simply must call Danny at GTS Auto Center if you want quality, reliable, HONEST car repair at a reasonable price. He is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever been to. He has expertly cared for our Honda CRV as well as our Mercedes s500. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I trust him to always tell me the truth and save me money where he can. I drive all the way to MV from Burlingame just to visit Danny.
