George & Jim’s Garage

I moved out of state many years ago and just came across their business card tucked away in my office. I was curious if they were still in business and pleased to see they are. I want to add my comments to the reviews even though I haven’t been a customer for many years.
They serviced my cars for years and I found them to be honest and they always did excellent work. I never had a complaint and always drove away knowing that my car had been properly serviced. I had complete trust in their work. They rate 5 stars!

Well, a good part of the service is tending to new/​potential customers…
I called two business days in a row and got no answer, so I decided to just drive there to speak to someone in person (assuming it was still an operating business because of the message, and these reviews).
I pulled into the garage and waited. There were lots of cars in there but none of them were getting worked on by anyone.
A man came out of somewhere and made an annoyed face at me and yelled and motioned at me to pull forward because I was setting off their door alarm.
I did, I smiled, put my window down to speak with him, and before I got a word out he said, «one minute» and walked back into what looked like an office.
I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
I sat there for ten minutes (I watched the clock) — during which time I saw no cars being worked on, and no one came out to talk with me.
I had better things to do with my day so I backed right out and left.
I’m giving two stars instead of one because I guess there is a chance that some strange, out of the ordinary event was happening that day that would explain the quiet, inactive shop and the zero attention I received.

I can honestly say that this is the best shop around. It took me 25 years of searching for a mechanic that I can completely trust and I finally found it. Greg refuses to hire anyone to help because he a perfectionist. He even rotates tires and changes oil himself. If you ask him why he won’t hire someone to help his reply is «they just won’t do it the way I do».
I recommend making an appointment or leaving a message. He is not the most friendly guy when dropping in on him and I know one thing for sure… HI IS NOT A MORNING PERSON.
However, his knowledge of auto repair is exceptional (he has been a mechanic from the age of 14),
His prices are always fair. (his hourly rate is lower than most shops)
And the best part is that you will never have to worry about getting screwed.

I and several friends have been taking our cars to Greg for a few years now. I must admit I am very bad to cars; never changing oil and letting all kinds of maintenance issues slide. Greg never does any unnecessary work to my car (a badly abused Audi) even though its always a total mess when I bring it in after a year or two. On all my visits, he has offered very fair labor costs and managed to get parts at a very reasonable price. He has great integrity, is honest and very skilled. I sincerely recommend him to anyone. Keep in mid that Greg’s very busy and does everything himself (so offer to wait a little while). I’m always amazed at the work that he does. He keeps me on the road :)

Greg came highly recommended from a fellow gearhead. Greg likes his American muscle cars, and is a little snobby about too much modification. Like a racing stripe might not go over as well as some FlowMasters, because it won’t make your car run any better. I can appreciate that in Greg, I don’t want any ol’ body working on my baby. Er, truck.
Greg is dedicated, honest, and smart. He’s my new favorite baby daddy. Er, mechanic.

I took my car here last Friday to get the drive belt changed.
B+W was full and these guys were the only ones who could squeeze me in. The mechanic, Greg, did the job for the reasonable price he quoted and was very friendly and trustworthy. He’s a self proclaimed «fussy» mechanic who will do a meticulous job and not try to sell you anything you don’t need. What’s more they gave my car the most thorough washing/​waxing when they were all done. They cleaned it for about 90 minutes for free! This would have cost about $ 70 at a professional carwash. Give these guys a shot. I’ll definently go back.
