Our story
About Gary's Automotive Services
Gary's Automotive Services is a South Gate shop built around one mechanic customers trust completely: Richard. Whether it's a routine oil change or a starter problem two other shops couldn't solve, Richard diagnoses the real issue, explains it clearly, and only fixes what actually needs fixing.
The shop handles it all, from yearly maintenance and oil changes to heavier work like engine repair and electrical diagnostics. Most jobs are turned around in a single day, and if your car checks out fine, Richard will tell you that too instead of finding something to charge for.
Customers keep coming back for years, some for six or more, because Richard is upfront about pricing, works with you if you're on a budget, and makes everyone, including first-time visitors, feel comfortable and heard.
- Usually one-day turnaround
- Honest, transparent pricing
- Handles everything from oil changes to engine and electrical work
- Trusted by customers for 6+ years
What customers say
“I've been going here for years and Richard is the best. He makes you feel heard and comfortable with what you're sharing with him. I've gone to other mechanics that won't listen or try to tell me something else is wrong and Richard has never done that. He is reasonably priced and his prices match his detailed work.”
“After six years of being a loyal customer, I can confidently say this is the best shop in the area. Richard's expertise is truly unmatched... he resolved a complicated starter issue on my 1988 truck that two other mechanics failed to fix, but he once even went out of his way to jump start my car when I was stranded!”
“I take all of our vehicles to Gary's. Depending on what you need it is usually 1 day service. If it's broke he fixes it. If he checks it and it doesn't need to be fixed he will tell you. Richard is knowledgeable, friendly and honest.”
