Tried calling rudely hung up! Tried calling again and went straight to voicemail.
Good place to go for Major repairs Jose is very honest
Thank you to Jose at Gil’s Transmission for taking such good care of me and my Mazda 3. Had some transmission trouble that seemed unending but got it all taken care of and was affordable.
This guy is my new mechanic 100% honest and it helps that his wife's median name is Barajas
I'm a tow truck driver, and this is the one place people love to get there cars taken care of. I tow cars to them regularly. So I took my Camaro. It's been a year haven't had a problem. Tell them Ramos Towing send you.
The owner is not lenient or least understanding. I couldn't afford to do the repairs so I asked if I can leave my truck there until I can get it towed on Thursday. He told me 30 a day which I am okay with and then turned it into a hundred and kept asking me every 30 minutes for his pay,my tow truck driver if I paid him yet(I got the car junked so he kept asking for pay from him). He is very pushy and stubborn. You can keep your 100 since your that desperately need it.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! This shop listed an SUV on Craigslist. Said it had a clean title. The SUV had a check engine light when we checked it out, then asked us to wait a few days for a part to arrive. Said it was fixed and would pass smog, so came back to purchase it. They asked for a deposit because it wasn't ready yet when we got there (it was on a lift) and $600 extra in "DMV Fees" above the price that was listed on the original ad. They continued to yell at us over the phone saying they were a dealership and any car has fees and taxes. They failed to disclose anywhere on their ad that they were a dealer. If at any point during this transaction they had mentioned their hidden fees we would have turned away sooner.
I am SO glad I took my car to Howard at Gils Transmission. He was VERY knowledgeable, and he offered me two choices on how to fix my car. He told me I could have it rebuilt or buy a used one (I chose to have mine rebuilt). I got my car back within 3 days as promised; and his rate was VERY reasonable (it was MUCH better than a couple of other places that I called). I also had another problem with one of my valve covers. Howard explained that he could fix it for me... but he also told me how I could save some money by fixing it myself! It was easy to do... and I saved myself some money. THANK YOU HOWARD! Honest and reasonable is what I have to say about him.
