Gil and crew were absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and got me right in. Ive been working the fires and work 14 on 2 off so to have someone make the extra effort was greatly appreciated. Gil answered all of my questions and was able to get my air conditioning blowing cold. Also addressed check engine light and other maintenance needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I will definitely be back for all of my suvs needs. Thank you Gil and crew

I highly recommend Gills Motorworks! I have brought my car there several times for various repairs. Their staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and get you back on the road quickly at an affordable price. If your looking for an honest mechanic you cant go wrong with choosing Gills Motorworks

The crew down at Gills continues to take amazing care of me and all my needs with my vehicles! There honesty and genuine concern of the condition of the car I drive is what has made me a lifetime customer! These guys work so hard and I’m so grateful to finally have a place like this to go. It was pretty hard to find a mechanics shop that I wanted to go back to here in Chico, I’ve had so many horrible experiences with almost all other shops hereIn town. So thank you Gills for all you do to ensure that me and my family have a safe and reliable car. If your looking for a shop you can trust and does great work look no further!

Even tho the cost of my parts was crazy outrageous. That was to be expected since I drive a Lincoln. The crew was amazing. They treated me good thru the process and were honest with me the whole way. No unnecessary charges here. Thanks to all at gills.. You helped me above and beyond.

I am continually impressed with the service I receive at Gills. The mechanics are friendly, honest, and gave me a great price on my most recent service. Felt very welcomed and walked away feeling happy to know I have a mechanic nearby that I can trust.

So thankful for the service I received at Gills. My air conditioning went Kaput on the first heatwave of the year!🤦‍♀️ Called Gill’s Motor Works on the holiday weekend and they got me in immediately. They gave me a honest estimate and a fair price.These guys don’t mess around. They got the job done in a few hours time, during the heatwave might I add. My a/c is back to working brand new like the day I bought it. I will be using Gill’s motor works for my future repairs and you should too!

The mechanics at this shop are kind and honest, and their prices are fair. My car broke down the day before I had planned to drive back home to Florida, and, luckily, they were the closest mechanic. I left my car right outside their shop (it was a Sunday) and the next day they had it fixed within hours. One of the mechanics even offered to pick me up after realizing that I didn’t have a ride and that I was about to walk a long distance to get my car. I highly recommend.

Scott was great, I called to see if they can help me. He told me a way that would fix my issue without coming in. My car doesn’t have a gas cap so I had to go in and they were very clear on the issues and so forth. Was even kind enough to call me first and then call my boyfriend to explain to him and let him give them the okay after I told them too. Even did a tune up and my car has been running great so far.

Went back there on the September 10th for another oil change, a week later my car ceased up in the middle of driving and I had to to tow it to nearby auto shop and was informed there is no oil left in the car! They messed up my car and they need to fix it.!

My first experience with these guys went amazing! Was referred to them and they did not disappoint. Will definitely be taking all future repairs/upgrades/issues to them.. Thanks forBeing so awesome you guys, im super grateful!

I highly recommend them I broke down yesterday and they were able to take fit me in and fix the part on my car had my car back today I’m so grateful price was good,Kind and honest thank you again

They got me in fast. Great customer service. Affordable and over all a great experience. Thanks Gills Motor works.

I thought I was going to have to pay 500 for new shocks and struts, they took it out and came back at me with, just a sway bar link I fixed that myself for much less. These guys are honest and quick, I came in at the end of the day with no appointment, they took care of me anyway.

Other shops and the dealership were at least 2 weeks out to fix a belt on my truck. Gills got it done in less than 2 days. Very nice and friendly.

I had gotten a brake and rotor job all around for my girlfriend car. Before I arrived my E/parking brake was working fine, she uses it to park daily. I am afraid after doing my research that the ebrake was not adjusted back properly and was highly disappointed when I got it checked by another company to confirm my issue. After spending what I did you would think the job would be done right. We do not even live in Chico to get this situation resolved. IF YOU GET A JOB LIKE THIS DONE HERE, PLEASE GO GET THE JOB CHECKED.( BRAKES ARE NOTHING TO PLAY WITH)

So they did my engine and it didnt make it a year and a blue up they also did my clutch and it was not even write and I try to take it in to get it fixed and they wouldnt look at it.a when and Then over charge you for stuff that they didnt even check to see if it worked like a battery I dont recommend this place to anybody

They broke a part on my driveline said they fixed and over charged

Honest and reasonable service. Friendly hard working staff.

Patrick is the best mechanic I know. He is super chill, definitely friendly and is like family to me. He takes the time and listens to you and does excellent work. Hes the only guy Ill ever take my cars to. Hes the best. The worker are awesome. Love this place.

I just got my oil changed over at Gill’s, not only are they one of the most affordable in town they are also the most friendly and personable. They got me in and out in record time and were very accommodating when I asked them if they could check on other things while my car was there, they did that with no hesitation. I will definitely be coming back to Gill’s for any future car needs I have. Thank you!!!!!

Nice and helpful service!

Excellent service! Josh was very helpful and got to my brakes right away. The girl in the office was super friendly (didn’t catch her name, unfortunately.) Owner was really nice. Really solid experience, very trustworthy, and not overpriced at all :) would definitely recommend!

Was quoted $1200 at one place for fixing my car and $600+ at another place. And came here and they helped me and did it for $150. Very polite and friendly... Will be going back. And very much recommended!!! And very Appreciated.. Thank you guys!

The guys here were super rad! I called to have an inspection on a car that I was looking into buying. They got me in super quick and took a very detailed look the car. I would highly recommend !

This place this place is the absolute best mechanic shop I have ever come across in my entire life they are extremely friendly helpful hospitable free inspection nice cool waiting room AKA stand up guys

Found my permanent mechanic.

The most friendly and helpful staff! Chris and Josh are the absolute best. Thank you guys for your great customer service. The only place I’ll be going to from here on out!

Best shop in town. Low prices, quick and friendly service. Highly recommend 10/10!

I highly recommend these guys! Not only are they the ONLY repair shop in Chico but they do an incredible job helping our. Other places in town charge anywhere from $50-$129 for a diagnosis and these guys did it for free! Not only that but they are priced extremely fairly, seem to be watching out for their customers and do a great job taking care of your car. Thank you guys SOOO much for getting my car taken care of so quickly and efficiently. It’s much appreciated. I highly recommend these guys and am sure with all the car issues my Hyundai has, I’ll be back.

Excellent mechanics! I highly recommend Gills Motorworks. Excellent Quality Service, great parts and prices! You wont find a better affordable place to take your vehicle. Down to earth and relatable to all your needs. I took my truck there and Josh diagnosed, found, and fixed the problem. I will be taking all my vehicles to Gills from now on. Thanks guys!!

I needed a light fixture replaced. They gave me a great deal and got it done quickly. The mechanics at this place care about the customer and they will do whatever they can to make it a good experience.

By far the best customer service i’ve had at a mechanic shop, very friendly environment and hard working employees. Very great pricing and my car is running better than when I first got it! Highly recommend!

These guys are very accommodating, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and good. Patrick diagnosed my truck, Chris notified me about my trucks issues, they got the parts installed correctly and efficiently. I would gladly recommend Gills to people I know.

So thankful for their service! My older Scion xB needed help again and Gills is my go-to since my last experience with them. Got me back on the road within the day. Reliable and great service! And free inspection!

I love this place. I am pretty mechanically savvy and these guys take it to another level. After I worked on my car for almost two weeks, I took it to a different mechanic place. Like I, they couldnt figure out the issue, but wanted to start throwing a bunch of money at it without a clue of what was going on. Ultimately I took it to Gills. Within minutes Gills gave a logical prediction to the issue which was way beyond my technical understanding. They gave a really good step through outline of how best to get the project done and the estimated cost. Not only did they get right to work and actually fixed the issue, they got it done cheaper than they quoted. Cant beat that! Now i am happily back on the road :-) Thanks Gills!!!

Daniel was very fast and helpful and fixed my truck in a timely manner. Chris in the office was also helpful and made everything easy and comfortable. Josh s knowledge about vehicles is outstanding! Great group of guys i recommend to anyone take and trust these guys with your automotive repars!!!

I’ve known Patrick for many years now. And long before he started his shop he has always been helpful in repairs even going out of the way. That being said I’d personally recommend him and his company for any repairs and even preventative inspections just to give you peace of mind.

I was in a minor collision and my rear bumper needed to be repaired. I dropped my car off and got a call within a couple of hours to pick it up. They did a great job and were very friendly. The price was reasonable and I was very pleased with the quality of service. I will definitely be returning to Gills Motorworks if my car needs anything!

Patrick the owner is great all his employees are great as well. I’ve gone to him a couple different times over the last couple years. They are honest and that’s hard to get out of mechanics. They do really great work at a excellent price. He’s worked on my integra and 4 runner never had a problem. Always works hard and is negotiable. Please keep up the great work!!

Gills is the place to take your car/ truck when you want it done right! Good work at a good price! Best business around!

Awesome guys, fast and professional work.

Honest, friendly and great prices! Owner is super sweet. With a great leader comes great associates. Thank you Patrick, Patrick, James, and Bryan. You all are amazing! God bless you all

Gills Motorworks is the best auto shop in the area. They do good quality work for an affordable price. Max is very knowledgeable in his field and stays in communication with you along the way about what he finds and how he plans to fix it. Having fixed multiple issue with many of my vehicles, I would trust max to fix any problem with my vehicles in the future.

These guys there take care of your car problems. I have been there 2 times since fire they took great care of us. I recommend them to anyone. Free check of your car begore anything is done. Excellent service. Thank you

Very helpful. Fixed things quickly. Happy with customer service. Staff was wonderful.

Got my free inspection, a oil change and a tune up. Car gets 6 more mpg now and runs much smoother. Highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a mechanic. Want to also thank him for his work with the people who were affected by the fire in Paradise.

I am so grateful for the team at Gills Motorworks! I broke down outside of Chico on my way to Utah and was towed to Gills. The customer service was superb while they explained my cars status! They spent time troubleshooting then completely dismantled my motor to replace the timing belt and rebuilt it in one days time. I was able to get back on the road the same day to get to my next job. I highly recommend these guys and look forward to bringing my vehicle in for the next round of tune up when I make it back to CA. Chico is now on my map and Gills Motorworks an A1 stop!

These guys are great! Had my car up and running in just a few hours on a Saturday! Top notch!

Went in thinking I was having misfires. The guys test drove it for free to see what the issue was. Turned out the transmission was getting caught because of old trans fluid. They hooked it up with a transmission flush and fixed the problem. Car drives great now. Thanks guys!

Literal clowns working here. Zero communication. Changed the price on me two different times. Waste of time. Turned a one hour job into 4 hours then told me they couldn’t do it! These guys are unprofessional.

Friendly service. They keep in really good contact and are honest with you about what your car needs. I really appreciated that they were not pushy about things to try and make a sale. Definitely will be back for any future maintenance needed to my car.

I cant thank these guys enough. They saved my birthday weekend. Patrick went above and beyond to fix my car for me and get me on road. I will be recommending these guys to everyone. Thank you to all the guys there at the shop. They all pitched in and helped fix my car. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great customer service. Hard workers. Fixed my car good. Will be back! Thanks!! 😀

Great place to get your car done, my husband went in and got his breaks and rotors done for a great price, I highly recommend them if you need work done in your car or truck.

I was from the Paradise Fire and lost everything. Thanks to Gills Motorworks they fixed not one but both of my cars that went through the fire at a price I could afford. One of them was in really bad shape and burned. They were amazing and caring and took care of both of my cars as soon as they could. I would reccomend this shop to anyone who needs a mechanic to trust. I will be bring my faimly and friends to this shop always. They are 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Took my 300zx here to replace V belts (3) they quoted me 250 & couple days after they called me saying they wanted to charge me 400+ because they had to take apart radiator which was bull, Wouldnt suggest taking your car here. Horrible owner.

These people are great treated me wonderfully and would recommend highly

Gills was my fourth auto shop I had called about a diagnostic on my vehicle because my ignition coils were messing up. The gentlemen there named Chris was so helpful over the phone I explained how money was tight and I commute to work everyday from Yuba so my car is my lifeline and he heard me out and did some research on the computer to help me find the best solution in my price range and he was able to squeeze me in on such short notice. It ended up being cheaper than we both expected so that was amazing! I’ve been in NorCal for three years and haven’t really found an auto shop that works for me until I spoke with Chris thank you from the bottom of my heart and thank the rest of the Auto-works team I appreciate u!!!! I will definitely be coming back for all my mechanical issues!

Wow, free Inspections. Had a ck engine light on and my scanner couldnt pick it up. His did and Now after changing out thermostat. All is good. Ill be back for sure.

I cannot say how wonderful the service here was. Patrick communicated with me on my level and his prices were very reasonable. He just got a lifetime patron here.

Josh did an amazing job with my car. Impeccable customer service and satisfaction.

HANDS DOWN BEST AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS & SHOP YOU WILL EVER FIND!!!!I called to inquire about work getting done on car that we currently had been driving on our trip to cali, the Shop was closing for weekend during the holidays. Josh was so understanding without to detailed explanation as to what needed repair; they still stayed open so he could change spark plugs on our vehicle that was misfiring during our road trip up the coast. Patricks price was a quarter of other shops and instead of four hours only took 45 minutes. You cant ask for more then good honest work at a realistic price, without extra hidden fees for nonsense. Not to mention the mechanic Josh and owner Patrick are not only studmuffins to look at but very hospitable and welcoming. They made the experience of a broken car in the middle of foreign town the most amazing experience ever!!! I only wish I could keep them to be my forever mechanics. Remember this if theres two things in life that you keep forever when you find a great one its a hair stylist/ Barber & mechanic!! Regardless if I have a broken car or not I will be stopping in Chico to get it serviced next time Im in that area for sure.

My husband and I broke down on the way to our campground at Lassen on a Friday afternoon. We got towed into Chico, and started looking around on Saturday morning to see if any mechanics were open. Patrick opened his shop especially to help us out, and worked on the car nonstop until he figured out what was wrong. He got us back on the road by 2:30 and completely saved our weekend. Our car (a Honda Accord) is running really well, and we made our 200-mile drive back home without any trouble. His prices were also extremely reasonable--were really happy we took the car to him!

This is my personal view after I needed a quick fix on my truck when my fuel pump went out.I didnt have time to do an actual diagnosis, so I got my truck towed to Gills where I found their free inspection included a visual, sound or plug and read (like an obd2 read for you chack engine light), but my problem was not covered by this free inspection. I told them, I really needed it fixed TODAY and, somehow, they got it done for me. They were running a brake special, so I had them change my rotors and pads on the front while I was there. They even let me know about a problem with my CV boot so I would be aware of futur problems. They were super friendly and personable. They have a compatible price and they are willing to price match if you have been calling around checking prices.

I wish I knew how to upload a picture. Gills told me it was gonna cost me $872.93 to replace a vtech solenoid and to replace my spark plugs. Well Im a camp fire survivor and didnt have any money but $10 dollars to my name. So I said I would come back when I had some money. I put the word out that I needed help. A friend sent me to Jims Auto repair and he told me my spark plugs were in good shape and replaced the vetch solenoid for a total of 152.65. Now Gills said the reason it would cost so much was because of the labor. They said it was hard to get to and it would take 4 1/2 hours to do. Jims auto repair did it in less then 30 minutes. I feel just sick how taken advantage of I feel. I thought he was doing me a solid. Wow, just wow.Update: I talked to Gills Motorworks. He apologized and discussed the misunderstanding. Thanks for the call.

My husband took our car there to find out if our fan went out. They tested it quickly and he got the answer before he was even done with the paperwork

The gents at Gills did an excellent job determining the noise coming from my vehicle and resolving it. Honest hardworking crew over there with no intention to hike prices to those who may not know much about vehicle troubles.Theyve got my business for whatever issues may arise in the future.Thanks guys!

I took my Kia sportage im to have my 100,000 mile tune up and they where so nice to my family and got my car done in a timely manner so i was back on the road. I give them a 10 star if i could.

Very helpful and experienced staff available right away didnt have to wait had great experience at gills motorworks

Gills was very professional, great service, on time and overall great experience with them.

After taking my car in for a part replacement they left 3 bolts and a nut off the car and also left my battery cable loose. A week later my car starting leaking oil and they refuse to fix it and want to charge me more money to fix something that they should of taking care of. Talked to the manager and they were no help. It was there responsibility to fix my car but they took no act to take care of it and it has only been a week. They need better customer service and own up to what happened and do the job right. I had to drive back to the shop which was 30 minutes away to have them put the missing bolts and nuts back in my car.

Fast friendly service they treat you like a friend not a customer. very good prices and willing to work with you. this is the only shop in Chico I will ever use.

Patrick replaced the starter in my Toyota 4Runner. Got the vehicle in quick, and back to me the next day. Very reasonably priced and friendly.

Best place ive had to work on my car. Good communication and fast and effective. Cant beat the customer service and friendly environment. They know cars and fixed my BMW 325i. Josh Hendon was the best mechanic ive had the pleasure of speaking with

If I could give negative stars I would! Absolutely without a doubt the single worst repair shop Ive had the misfortune of dealing with! I am a Camp Fire survivor and took my car in after the fire bcuz if suffered a lot of damage. I was told that it was gonna cost almost $4000 to fix everything but when I got it back they said it be like brand new. But before theyd even touch it the owner Patrick Gill wanted the full amount paid upfront deposited into his account! After paying they took 2 months to get my car back to me. When I showed up to get it the tires were extremely low from sitting so long. I had to go right to gas station to air them up. For $4000 youd think theyd do that as a courtesy but what it told me was it wasnt even test driven. Right away I could tell it wasnt fixed. The check engine light is still on! I took it back and they told me I needed an alignment! They wont make it right and now I have to go thru B.A.R and small claims. Save yourself the grief and find a professional honest shop that wont rip you off bcuz this guy will!

Free inspection and friendly helpful shop. You will told the truth about whats wrong, not told to replace what does not need to be replaced. My dodge dakota was inspected in red bluff at Bobs and I was told I needed to replace my entire suspension when i only needed a few bolts tightened and sway bar end caps. Less than $100 in parts. Where I was told between $400-500 in parts in red bluff. A much more honest shop.

I havent had a real work done here YET, but I brought my jeep in twice within a week or so for 2 different FREE inspections. And they were quick and to the point. They didnt try to sell me something I didnt need like some other places might. These people are just great and honest worker. Now I feel I must say the only inspections that are free are just visual ones where they dont have to take anything apart.

Great dude great business. Keep up the good work!

Replaced my starter fast and for a reasonable amount. Two thumbs up

ATTENTION ALL WOMEN (men can read too 😂)... As women we usually know very little about cars and/or the cost of car repairs. We are out of our element and easily targeted as suckers to most automotive shops. Many of us are simply willing to pay whatever it takes to get our vehicles back on the road. There are plenty of shops in our community that have no problem robbing us blind without giving a second thought to the fact we are someones mother, grandmother, sister, daughter.... THIS IS NOT THE CASE AT GILLS MOTORWORKS !!!! What they offer is quality auto care with a dose of integrity. I am a hands on grandmother to an 8 yr. old autistic boy who depends on me to suit up and show up everyday. Because of the timely manner in which my repairs were completed we were back on the road in less than a day. My repairs were MORE THAN AFFORDABLE. I am beyond impressed with how I was treated and will go to great lengths to provide GILLS MOTORWORKS with referrals every chance I get. If Im ever asked, Do you know of a good mechanic thats affordable?... My guaranteed response is going to be, JOSH HENDON AT GILLS MOTORWORKS 😎 !!!!!

Patrick and his crew did a great and quick job. Will definitely take my car back when I dont feel like working on it myself.

They inspected my new truck free of charge before a long trip. I just had brakes done there and am very happy.

Great service and new Neighbors are legit as well

The dudes at Gils shop are some real dudes. You can tell they care about doing it right. Seems like Gil, the owner takes pride and involved. He diognosed a water pump issue other shops overlooked. Would definitely back these guys as the place to go in Chico. Very efficiant

Friendly and extremely fast work, I’ll be taking my car here from now on. Reasonable prices too!

Honestly the best place I chose to go to in Chico. After having intermittent starting issues with my Taurus, I was able to tell them my issue and they quickly found the problem. Which lucky me wasnt oh its a Ford this time.Yes Ive been told that. While in the process of repairing one issue( bad spark plugs), they made sure I knew about the rear spark plugs which are inconveniently underneath a thing( forgot the name of said thing, maybe manifold?) and absolutely a pain in the butt to get too, being covered in oil(because of worn valve gaskets). I was able to get a qoute for both items needing replacing for a more than fair price.I will definitely be back in the future. Thanks a bunch!

Gills is great! Always fast, friendly, and honest service!

I was suppose to look at a car they were selling and they made the plans with me, let me buy a carfax on it and then sold it before I could look at it.

Fast and fair with there prices.

Aweful! They put in a altanator that was bad. Over charged me. And then when i took it back they couldnt find my name in the system. Also they charged me again for there rong doing. Worst place ever dont EVER go there. Caused me nothing but heart ache when i have a 6 month old baby and obviously cant afford to pay them for THEIR mistake. Absalute insanity. Had the receipt and everything of them installing a new altanator too still charged me. The manager was very reasonable and nice but the buisness was horrible. Especially to charge after they made a mistake. Disapointing people can get away with this.

They are very friendly and honest the be honest this place is good for students.

Never called me back to confirm that my car would be staying over night. Communication was off a little bit but other then that good pricing for auto fixes.

Very pleased with the work and price. A friendly attentive staff

I have zero complaints about Gills Motorworks! Patrick, the owner is a super chill, trustworthy dude!! He is definitely my guy now when it comes to car problems :)

Great work and great people, the staff is super helpful and they worked with me and my budget.

Very quickly got my car up and running again. Super friendly service and it was obvious the owner Patrick really cares about his customers.

By far the worst customer service. Im only giving this a 5-star rating so that I can try and save the next sad soul who comes across this shop. I bought a ridiculously overpriced Honda from Patrick back in March. As a single mom and a first-time car buyer I feel extremely taken advantage of. I was promised a full covered warranty on this car on everything but the transmission. This car has had problems from the beginning it started with issues on the tires and just escalated from there when it decided not to start one day. So I personally paid to get the car towed to Patrick shop he then fixs the car and not shortly after do more problems arise. I finally had another mechanic take a look at the car he found tools and bolts under the hood and the radiator wasnt even bolted in and told that the work done on the car was a joke and that I should try to definitely go and get my money back. Obviously at this point we are far too gone to get anything back from this, Im out $3000 and my old 97 Honda. So I give Patrick another call no answer so I called the shop and no answer so I called his phone again he picks up and hangs up on me at this point Im furious. We finally got the car running and I show up back at Patricks shop he is not there so I talk with his mechanics who are more than willing to help than Patrick even seems . I am them CHARGED $500 for repairs, I refuse to pay when I stated I had a full warranty on the car. We finally came to terms and I ended up paying $50 for a very small amount of work and the car still wasnt fixed. So finally today my car wont start I give Patrick a call ( from my new number keep in mind) and he answers. Tells me he will call me back and we will get it all fixed he promised. HE TURNED HIS PHONE OFF. There is no professional bone in this guys body so beware to all who enter this shitshow.

Great place to have work done and at a Great Price.

I cant believe the service I got . ON Monday I came to the garage because my headlamps.wouldnt come.on . I brought along with my the turn signal switch he said he would replace it for 100.00 they replaced the switch but it didnt solve the problem I was told to come back on Thursday morning . On Thursday morning I arrived at 9am and I was told I dont have time for your vehicle today come back Monday. I told him that your mechanic told me to come Thursday. As the representative walked away said I dont know what to tell you he just walked away and left me sitting.there on the couch . That was rude customer service and Im sure you guys will find plenty of time on your hands when more people complain about your customer service. Get some.skills go to school ...

The guys down at Gils will take good care of you. Patrick, the owner is a real person and will level with you on whats going on with your vehicle without confusing the non-mechanically savy. He plainly laid out what he would do to it if it was his car, and then what the other options were. Processing took a little longer than other mechanics but I prefer it this way because I was able to really talk about he problem. I feel like other places they cant wait to get you to sign the agreement and usher you out the door.His mechanic James was efficient and knowledgeable, after installing my new brakes he test drove the vehicle and decided to soften the tension a little, Ive always hated how abruptly my car would brake and now thats gone without me even remembering to ask. I could tell he was wrenching on my car as if it was his own.10/10 I will be bringing my Subaru by soon for them to fix problems not only caused by pep boys but problems that pep boys was unable to fix after they caused it. Within seconds of describing the problem Patrick had an idea of what they were missing and thinks he can fix it.
