I have purchased two Jeeps and had them serviced for over 20 years at my dealership. I recently had an AC problem in my Jeep. I went to my dealer and was told I needed a new compressor which would cost $2,000 parts and labor. I had recently paid them over $2,500 on similar issues and decided to get another estimate. My neighbor recommended Gines. I trust my neighbors opinion and went to Gines. In the past I would have been skeptical to get any repairs done anywhere else but the dealership. In this case I was not disappointed. They were able to get me in immediately. They diagnosed my AC as being low in refrigerant, and a blocked filter. Problem fixed! The charge was $242. I am so appreciative of their honesty. My business has done a 180 and I am now a loyal customer of Gines.

I had a terrific first experience with Gines Auto Serv. They are very honest and provide very quick service. Also, they had the opportunity to sell me a set of tires but told me that the tires I already have are good enough to get me through the winter. WOW! Im so impressed! I will definitely be back for more great service and a new set of tires in the spring! Thanks to the whole crew!

I had a very nice experience with them. Able to fix my car right away, offered a ride home and picked me up once the car was ready. Communication was excellent too, which I really appreciate!Highly recommend

Honesty. Can you find a mechanic that has that? Chad and the others guys (forget their names) were all very honest and told me exactly what was needed to fix my AC the right way. Even though it was a higher than expected quote is little shops like these that need business and treat customers the right way.

Great experience. Quick, clean, and professional. Definitely paid a pretty penny, but as far as I can tell, parts are premium, and diagnostics were solid and honest. I feel good about the work done on my vehicle and would probably return for future work.A lot of old timers seem to frequent the place. That was my first good sign. The turnover and services went well, too. They also guarantee their work up to a certain point.

We brought our Ford F150 into their shop for a check engine light. They did the work to get it fixed when we could/should have had a full tune up where they should have replaced all the spark plugs while they were at it. They only changed the one that was misfiring. Weve had bad luck with our truck so theyve gotten a lot of money out of us. I went somewhere else. I had to get all the spark plugs replaced at a different shop. They call you to say they appreciate your business and thats nice.

These folks are fantastic! Replaced the ignition switch in my husband’s Jeep Liberty for way less than I thought it’d cost. Very friendly and knowledgeable, great shop and will be the mechanics for both our vehicles!

My Construction Company sends all of our fleet vehicles to Gines for all types of repairs. They are thorough and fast. I also like that they call with estimated repair costs before they start the work. I also take all my personal Family vehicles there Nice honest people to work with.

They had my car for two days and couldn’t figure out the problem and I still had to pass these people not 110.00 that they quoted me to diagnose my vehicle which they couldn’t do after two days but 130 bucks I get taxes but then they charge me ten bucks for their “ hazardous materials around the shop“ fee are u kidding me yep will never go to these people again

Fantastic, friendly, and honest people. Were quick to diagnose an issue and didnt push back when I decided to fix it myself. Just relocated and was looking for a new local mechanic. This is the one, will definitely be back.

Review №22

Our car is 14 years old and was in bad shape. My first time taking it to Gines was a great one. The staff are friendly, helpful and told us exactly what the car needed. Oil change, gasket replacements and it runs better than what it did the last time I took it to a mechanic. Im very happy with the hard work and service they did. They know what they are doing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.I will be back with my auto needs. Thank you Gines!

Review №23

***updated 05/21/2021****We had an unexpected issue that we needed to resolve quickly and have someone close. When we called Gines they were able to have it towed quickly, etc. They were very nice and apologized for the previous experience and thanked us for coming back. After this experience would recommend them again.We went to Gines because multiple co workers and family have taken their vehicles here. They performed the diagnostic and told us the cost.....$2400. My husband proceeded to call around and the dealer we usually take it to quoted us half that. The gentleman my husband spoke to said all of these things had to be fixed in order for Gines to fix it and my husband opted to pick it up and take it to our car dealer. Not a big deal and I would have given a favorable rating as they were nice about diagnostic, etc. However who ever Gines has manning the counter was extremely rude upon pick up and talked down to my husband treating him poorly for calling and pricing an expensive fix. We won’t be back and I will ensure all who have previously used them know about the extremely rude customer service we received simply from not choosing them to fix it solely on cost, nothing else. We will not return simply from that interaction.

I had my vehicle towed to Gines Auto because it was stuck in a parking lot and would not start. They were able to find the problem and fix it quicker than they originally told me they would have it done. I also had them look into a little oil leak and they fixed it for me at no cost because it was a service they had done on the vehicle a bit ago, which shows me that they take pride in their work. They have always done a great job when they have serviced my vehicle and Gary is always so kind and friendly. Thanks to all the workers at Gines Auto.

Told need unnecessary repairs over 500+ and drove my vehicle many unnessiary miles for vrap program. Fixed myself for 6$ . Left my vehicle way filthy like took 4 wheeling in it . Rip off place, dont trust them. Was diagnosed by a licensed reputable place and didnt need the repairs they said. State should be better on who they have as help for vrap program. Rip Off place. Dont trust them.

The mechanics are very knowledgeable and honest. The work they do is second to none. I have never had a bad experience in the dozens of visits I have made to their shop. A top notch establishment in every sense of the word.

Review №28

What can I say, I took my Jeep to another shop after taking it to gines twice. I had the timing belt replaced but they didn’t even take off the residue so it will most likely wear faster then the last one. I had a detailed and expensive diagnostic done since there was no check engine light on and I needed a mechanic. They found and fixed the problem. After taking my Jeep to another mechanic he immediately pointed out issues that should have been mention on the diagnostic gines provided. Leaks, poor maintenance on the timing belt, and a few other things. He did it all for free. Wish this business wasn’t working for money but working for the people in the community. If you want to take your car here be prepared to be treated quick fixes not worth what they charge.

Review №29

They are very courteous and professional. It is very nice that they have a shuttle, so I dont have to make other arranges to get back home when I drop my car off. I also like the report that they email me that tells me what they checked with pictures clarifying exactly the condition of each item.

Wow! Nothing but professionalism and courtesy. I’m now in my 40’s and this is the first mechanic I’ve found who is concerned with taking care of you and making you a life long customer. I’m not mechanically inclined at all, and can be overwhelmed getting my vehicles fixed. But I was very comfortable with the owner, Gary. All the staff I met were also friendly and seemed very competent. I’ll be going back and recommending this shop to everyone.

I took my car to Gines Auto. I did it because it was about 2 min away from my house. The repairs ended up costing over 2 grand. I didnt have the money. I finally was able to get the money from my boss but it took about 4 months. Gines kept my car in the back, never put a mechanics lean or threatened me and the car ran freaking amazing!

Review №33

Honest mechanics with fair prices. I only wish they were open on Saturday but everyone deserves a weekend off. Ive been bringing my car to Gines for six years and wont take it anywhere else. As a woman (who grew up around cars and understands them), I especially appreciate the fact that they dont talk down to me. They will always confirm the work necessary and everyone is courteous and friendly.

Review №34

Gines is the best shop in Salt Lake City. These guys are honest, trustworthy, and let you know all of the details to make the decision. Yes you have to pay ~$100 for the inspection, but remember this is a professionals time spent digging into issues with your car. Chad was super helpful and answered every question I had in a professional manner. He was not pushy or irritated when I asked for a little bit of time to make the decision. My truck runs as good as the day I bought it! Gines will be servicing my truck for many years to come.

We have been taking our car to Gines for a couple of years now and we have always appreciated the honest work that they have done! It does take a day or two for most work to be completed, so expect that with your plans, but it has always been worth the wait. Decently priced as well.

Review №38

I found this mechanic to be extremely overpriced. Went in for a simple diagnosis and got charged over a hundred bucks for the service. Every shop I have been to has easily been half the price for a diagnosis. The service was very friendly. They got my car done same day. Service overall was great. Tried to get me to fix more than I needed though. I will not go back to these guys, want a more reliable, affordable and honest mechanic. Hard to find these days.

Love Gines, they always tell me whats wrong and never tell my husband anything different, if it turns out not to be what they thought, the call back and tell you to confirm you still want to proceed.

I love Gines! The guys that work there are all great- super nice, very helpful. I have been taking all of the cars Ive ever owned here and I have never regretted it! The one time I took my car somewhere else it turned into a fiasco, but Gines fixed the original problem, and the mess that the other place created, and they did it for a very reasonable amount.Not only is Gines a good shop, with great people, but its local, which is important to me!

As always, Gines was thorough, knowledgeable, courteous and did everything they could to help us with our vehicle. They always check if we need a ride and once drove my husband all the way to work across the valley. Thats the level of service and quality that you can always expect at Gines.

We have been going to Gines Service for over 30 years. They have always been very honest and treated us very fairly. They are our mechanic and dont even consider going anywhere else. I appreciate their recommendations to help keep the cars in the best working condition, but never try to strong arm us to perform those services. They are wonderful to work with.

Gines helped take care of an oil leak issue about a month ago. Decided to wait and make sure there werent any issues before I submitted a review. Thought Id have to replace the oil pump, which is an expensive job. Turns out it was a sensor issue, back up and running with minimal cost. Would recommend for an honest mechanic shop. Thanks guys, Ill be coming back for more service when it comes up.

Review №52

Took in a used Chevy Volt that I was considering buying. Chad was very attentive to give me honest answers (at no benefit to himself or the shop) and gave a thorough, but not over-inflated, pre-purchase inspection. He took the time needed and even went the extra mile, literally, when we needed to drive a bit more to check out a few more things.I bought the car and have been very happy with it.When I tried to offer money to Chad, he refused. I guess he felt confident enough in his recommendation that he didnt need to unnecessarily do anything more that would have incurred a fee.What a guy!

Cant write enough positive things about Gines Auto Service. I am fully confident that if they will take care of anyone extremely well. I usually do my own repairs, but have found them to be extremely fair in pricing, work quickly, provide shuttle service, and guarantee their work. I now I often just take my old beast to them and they take care of everything quickly. Extremely glad I stumbled upon them

Ive been very pleased with Gines Auto Service so far. They are courteous, thoughtful, and not at all pushy (a vast improvement over my experiences with Jiffy Lube). Their customer service is fabulous and even includes a shuttle service so you can drop off your car and not have to wait around for it to be ready (or force friends or family members to come pick you up). We definitely intend to continue using them in the future.

Ive been going to Gines for several years. Im a mechanical DIY guy, so I go to Gines when I have an issue that is beyond what I can do at home. I know enough to know when to leave it to the experts. These guys are the experts, they have a very high degree of integrity; I trust them when they make suggestions of what needs to be done. Their prices are fair, their work is of highest quality. I recommend them to anyone.

Review №69

I had a great experience recently at Gines, I had a broken CV Joint that made it very unsafe to drive my vehicle, Its always scary to try to find a fair place to take your car, I called around and was getting quotes of $450-$550 and some people even telling me to bring it in and well go from there, Gary answered, quoted just under $300 with parts and labor, I dropped my car off that night, as I was trying to find a ride home from family members, I was offered a ride home from them, how nice is that? Well my car was done by 1pm the next day, I paid what I was quoted and they did a courtesy check like more auto shops would do, but they didnt push things on me, and try to make me get it fixed right then, All in all, I could not be happier with my experience and I hope if youre reading this, it gives you the confidence to give them a try and become a loyal customer yourself, I feel like Ive got a trusting company in an untrustworthy business.

A couple of years ago, I took my car for its yearly inspection. The front end suspension needed work and wouldnt pass inspection. I took it to Gines and they took care of the problem along with the registration and emissions. A year before I had the same front end problem on the other side and was charged over $100 more elsewhere. Needless to say, Chad and Gary are two of my favorite people now, and they take care of my two cars. The customer service is amazing, and I find they are HONEST and reasonable in pricing. I would refer Gines in a heartbeat.
