He seems like an honest mechanic but my last experience was not good. My car is making a squeeking sound from the strut. I was told by the dealership that it was a problem with the strut mount. I relayed that message to him... He tells me he cant hear any weird sound. I figure he must be deaf, on drugs, or lying. EVERYONE hears this sound. He finally relented and told me he does hear a sound but cant figure out what it is.So I hope my wheel doesnt fall off, according to him there is no problem. Anytime someone rides in my car and inquires about the strange sound I tell them, There is no sound ! Trust me I looked into it!

Great, quick, and friendly service. Definitely recommend! ☺️

He’s so honest and doesn’t try to rip people off. Extremely fair prices! As a woman, I’d refer any woman to him. You certainly won’t have to worry about getting ripped off. But be prepared to have your insurance and registration papers printed off before going to him and BE ON TIME. (Pa registration no longer sends the registration forms) anyways, he’s the best!

Excellent service. Very reasonable price.

Fast and honest service. Gates was recommended to me by a friend, and Id also recommend him to others.

Very straight forward with the price got the job done in a timely manner will be going back

Paul is a very rare find, highly skilled, fast, reliable, friendly, and fair. Hell do what he can, give it to you straight, and will be less than half the cost of a big corporate franchise garage. Weve taken our car to him for everything from a leaking exhaust pipe to break repairs and safety inspections. Even though were now living further away with an NTB down the road, well make the longer trip to go to Gates because we know the quality of service and low cost that Paul provides is unrivaled.

Glen knows his stuff. Can fix anything auto related. Fair and honest mechanic.

Nice guy! Fast service for a low price.

I’ve used Gates Auto a few times for different reasons and couldn’t ask for anything better! He is trustworthy, affordable, and goes above and beyond to help make it an easy process by working around your schedule. Can’t say enough how highly I recommend him!

Paul Gates auto is the best in Pittsburgh. Glen is kind and genuine. He provides timely, quality, honest, and efficient service. He always tries to squeeze me in when its an emergency. I refer all my friends to him!

Great service at a reasonable price.He has been servicing my cars for several years. I trust his judgementcompletely. He usually fixes a problem efficiently and if he cannot do it, hewill tell you and wont charge you.

Glenn is the best. Fast, trustworthy and reasonable.

I came here to say this was the best mechanic Ive ever had, but another reviewer beat me to it.Edit: I wrote the above review three years ago. Coming back to say Glen has continued to be fantastic. I recommend him to everyone without exception. Ive received nothing but honesty, low prices, and great service. Thank you Glen!

He has been my mechanic for over 20 years!!! Excellent mechanic, very knowledgeable, very honest and a good friend. Works on ALL my cars,, including my 65 mustang & 37 Packard. Old school mechanic with present day expertise. I would recommend him to anyone and all my friends!!!

Mr. Gates has been my mechanic for 15 years. He has worked on all my vehicles from hoopties to newer cars. He is trustworthy, dependable, timely, and affordable. Several friends have retained him as their mechanic as well. I am happy to support small local business owners such as Mr. Gates. He is an integral part of our community.

Does good work for reasonable prices. Cant ask for anything better.

Highly recommend! Fixed my car and got me back on the road quickly. I will definitely go back.

I went somewhere else before came to Mr. Gates’ shop and their estimate of cost for replacing some parts of my car is more than 1k. But Mr. Gates got them fixed within $100.

Very nice, honest and reasonable pricing. This mechanic is someone I will take my car back to time and again. I highly recommend him.

A fantastic local repair shop, opens early, Paul tries to schedule your appointment as soon as possible, is very thorough with the estimates, and makes affordable and lasting repairs.I have used the shop for exhaust and brake work for my 2003 model.

This is the best, fastest, cheapest mechanic I have ever had. Even though he had never even seen a Honda Insight before I rolled in, the guy has been money as far as minor repairs and maintenance goes for 2 years now.And I dont trust easy, this guy I trust.

Glenn is awesome. Hes a great mechanic, very accommodating, and reasonably priced. I have recommended him many times to my friends.

This is the best mechanic I have ever used. Honest, affordable, and fast service. High recommended!

They were very helpful

Great service nice guy and honest too . Best mechanic I have ever had.

Brought my 2007 Honda Accord in for a headlamp bulb change. He did it in about 15 min whilst I waited and charged $24.61. Pep Boys quoted me $96. Very nice guy and I reckon Ill return.

Gates is an honest, thorough mechanic. I’m happy with his service.

Paul is a great mechanic and super nice guy. Very honest.

Excellent and affordable service.

I have now tried more auto shops than I would ever wish upon my worst enemy. Hes honest, inexpensive and gets the job done.

Excellent. Very friendly guy, no nonsense service. Ill be back here, again.

Bud, my baby runs like a jackrabbit in heat since you worked over the trannie. Youre a champ!

Excellent service.

Great locally owned garage

Refused to do repairs because he didnt buy the parts. Just another way for mechanics to gouge average car drivers.

Great guy and very honest
