I went to shop to see if I could make an appointment for later in the week. Due to hurricane Nick, other customers cancelled their appointments and my Tahoe was taken in immediately for diagnosis of an air conditioning issue. The repairs were made that same day. This was my first experience here and I will definitely be back for my repair needs.

Quick fix that interrupted a vacation trip to Galveston. Minor repair, done well and economically. Galveston Automotive saved the day!

John and his team are top notch professionals. Aside from being courteous, they know what they’re doing and they offer reasonable prices. I drove over 250 miles to have them service my Lexus......and I’ll do it again!

I dropped car for diagnostics because it wouldn’t start. It turn but not starts.Picked up and paid $60 for “NO START: could not determine a problem”.So, I paid for hearing what I’ve already knew - car won’t start.Why do I feel like being scammed?Is it really takes 30 minutes to connect “code reader” to the car?I’ve been told it could be timing belt - another $300 just to check it. If it’s not timing belt - I’ll pay just to get nothing AGAIN.Reply to “the owner”:How about list of things checked? That would be helpful.

As always Galveston Automotive Professionals have continued to provide high quality, professional care for my automobiles. This is my 6th vehicle that has been kept in shape by John and his employees. If you want an honest assessment of your vehicles problems, or just a regular maintenance issue it is well worth your time to consider G.A.P.

I brought my car here because my girlfriend lives close to the shop and it seemed to be a great shop. Little did I know.... the person answering the phone “Gerald” never got back to me. He kept promising that my car part would be there certain days and then when I received the car the mechanics said we couldn’t program the lights because of some “light issue”. Cue to me driving for a couple days I look at my third break light which is what was staying on and it was unplugged, wasn’t even in the housing and they didn’t even reconnect it and gave me back my car. I don’t care WHO you are, that is not okay a car should have a safety check because all lights should be working and if that was the main reason for it going in they should have fixed that. It cost like 1400 and they couldn’t even complete the job correctly

I simply cannot say enough good things about GAP! They assisted me with my Mini and knocked it out of the ballpark-even had it completed a day early! I’m now a lifetime customer-keep up the good work, guys!

Fast, honest, friendly service with fair prices. Theyre not the cheapest in town, but theyre the best value if you dont wanna screw around with shade tree mechanics or places that wont stand behind their work.

I took my car here due to the proximity to my house and the good reviews here. I was not disappointed. They diagnosed the problem, fixed it in a timely manner at a reasonable price. I will use them again and highly recommend them.

Review №15

Team is very polite and professional. All job have been done in good timely manner.But:As I understand the jobs being charged “flat fee” (which means it doesn’t matter how much time job took time. If they quoted 2.5 hours - that’s how much you’re going to be charged even if it was done in 30 minutes).But hey, you get what you paid for! (Expensive but good quality)

I love this place because they have me in and out when I schedule, the customer area is clean and comfortable, Gerald/front desk is knowledgeable about all kinds of issues and where to go when they don’t provide the service. My Volkswagen Beetle runs like a charm because of Galveston Automotive Professionals.

Review №19

These guys were amazing! Weve been having problems with our Jeep Wrangler and no shop has been willing to dig into it. We came to Galveston for a couple of days of fun and it died on us on a beach. It was towed to Galveston Automotive Pros and they started to work on it immediately, listened to us, and dug into it uncovering the root of the problem. They also had to replace a starter that was put in 2 weeks ago in another town and got that part of the job covered at no cost to us through the warranty on the part. This place did a great job!

Review №44

Since moving to Galveston almost 5yrs ago, we have been using Galveston Automotive Professionals for work on our little fleet of family cars.All kinds of work done. From simple oil changes and tire rotations, to electrical, to major operations.I used Bensons in Webster for 30yrs prior to this.Bensons is hard to beat.GAP is the best, hands down!!The work is absolute 5 star. Customer service is 8 star😆Absolutely the best in the business.Incredibly professional. Affordable. Cash discount too!!!!!Very happy. Love these guys.My favorite thing about them, and part of what makes them so good, is that they keep the climate in their immaculate ship comfortable for their technicians. In Texas that means more than most places. In the summer they keep the doors open with very good ventilation and AC running too. So it’s not so hot that the technical people are distressed. In Winter, when it’s cold enough to be uncomfortable, they make sure it’s warm enough. Happy techs equals great work.Thanks again guys for everything.—JASON BORDEN

I was able to get my vehicle in to GAP in a reasonable amount of time. From my telling them of the problem they pretty much guessed what the resolution was going to be. Had my vehicle for 2 days and now is is running better than before. I know where I will be taking my vehicle anytime I need repair work done.

Im from out of town and our cars transmission was leaking oil from another mechanic put in a new transmission in this past week. Called these guys up and they said bring it in they took a look at it and assessed the problem. Told me what needed to be fixed. Didnt charge me a penny to look at the car. Very professional and very nice facility would definitely recommend using these guys.

Review №73

I took my car to this place and they quoted me an outrageous amount. These people may be able to fix your car problems, but they will squeeze every single penny out of you in the process. I took my car to a different mechanic, and even he was amazed at the quote that they gave to me. It is really a shame because I know that there are bound to be single moms and other hard working individuals who are getting taken advantage of simply because they dont know the true cost for the actual labor and parts involved. Please do your research for basic repair costs before you take your automobiles to this business so that you can at least have the upper hand and begin to negotiate the cost down to a REASONABLE price.

Outstanding service, very professional and curteous. I was visiting Galveston and had car problems on the day I was heading back home. They fit me into their busy schedulle and had me on my way as soon as was humanly possible. They even offered me a ride back to where I was staying. Its never nice to have car issues while on vacation, but these guys made it as painless as could be. I highly recommend them.

We went to Galveston for a quick vacation and when we arrived we had quite the dramatic issue with our car. The car was towed to GAP the next morning and the speed, kindness, and service that John, Gerald, Tim, and Johnny provided was comforting and professional. The car was repaired the same day which surprised me. We had a secondary issue the following morning and we took the car back to GAP. Again, the team was fast, efficient, and even empathetic to our situation. The car was fixed and we made the 5+ hour trip home without issue. I feel this business is one of the few honest service establishments with no hidden costs along with accurate diagnosis of issues. Thanks again for all your help!!

In every town and city Ive lived in, I have struggled to find a good auto repair shop and a decent veterinarian. Discovering Galveston Auto Pros has been a relief - I fully trust these guys after my first experience. The prices were fair, the service excellent, and the mechanics very knowledgeable. Every employee I spoke with at the shop seemed to truly care about their customers vehicles. The mechanic working on my car sent me updates via text message and even dropped my car off to my house when it was ready. I will definitely be back!

I just had my oil change done here. 7/5/17. I am from out of town and observed their operation for the past hour while waiting. This is a top notch place and Johnny and Gerald were outstanding. Only recommendation would be a bigger waiting area. I would not hesitate to get any work done here and I live about 900 miles away. A great place to have your car work if needed while on vacation.

So I need a new motor they tried to sell me a motor with 120000 miles on it for 3 thousand dollars I did my own research eBay sells brand new motors for 900 dollars with 0 miles I would highly recommend not take your vehicle to this shop worst experience Ive ever had with a mechanic shop

Review №98

I took my car in on a Wednesday: my battery light was on after installing a new battery and I figured something might be wrong with the alternator. Being someone that doesnt live in the area (Im a student) I was wary of any of the shops here.The staff were very friendly and professional, making sure to let me know they may not be able to look at my car the same day because they were very busy. They also told me they would call before any work was done (something I appreciate). The same day they called and said it needed a new alternator, and quoted me a fair price. The next day it was ready and running great.Would recommend this shop to anyone else I know in the area.
