Gino and his staff were all very nice and helped me immensely in a desperate situation. I had a break in with 5 broken windows and he helped me replace all of them for a very generous rate. I have also gotten other car parts in the past at an affordable cost. Thanks Gino!

Gino is trustworthy, honest and a great guy. He helped me after a run in with a deer and saved me so much money and time. I’d recommend anyone to him! Thank you Gino!

Took my truck in for a windshield replacement and to find some new headlights for my 2001 Toyota Tundra. They were great with communication , upfront prices, quick service, and knowledgeable staff.

Found out my truck was broken into (broken passenger side window) about an hour before they closed. Called and no answer, so I drove there. Gino's made some calls and were able to get me a new window for $89 + tax by 11am next day. This after getting a quote from Ford parts for $286 (with delivery in 7-10 days). -EDIT- Just got a call and they told me that the delivery driver called them and is delayed on highway 17, the window has shifted to 12-1pm.. THAT is customer service! [edit a couple years later] I would give them 10 stars if I could - gf had a bus hit her suby driver side mirror a couple days before a thousand mile Xmas road trip, called Gino's after dealer said 3 days for just the glass. He found a matching color assembly and got it by the next day, and when I thought it wasn't a match (had dimming), he convinced me to try it, and hooray! Now she's safe! Great price too! You don't find too many folks like this in any business these days.

Awesome business and an awesome guy! After I failed to replace my headgasket, Gino bought my 1999 4Runner off of me for a very fair price. He was friendly and accommodating and made the process simple and easy. He helped me hand load all the disassembled engine parts into his truck bed, and had one of his guys come out within the hour to tow everything else away. A couple weeks later, I realized I had forgotten my magnetic phone mount that was glued to the dashboard. I called him up and he retrieved it for me no problem! He also gave me a free replacement trim piece for my new (to me) 2000 4Runner. Their HQ on Portola Drive is super organized and a great resource. I'm very glad to know about Gino's - I'll be using his services to find replacement parts for years to come!

Gino has always done right by us. I’ve come to him through the years for various parts. Sometimes he has new parts at a fair price. I thought I needed an alternator. One estimate elsewhere (after battery diagnostics) was almost $700! So I asked him if he had the part. He did for $40. It turns out it was the battery, which he also had for $40. He saved me a lot of money and headache. I could’ve replaced both for far less than my first estimate. Can’t recommend him enough.

Gino's is my trusted reliable auto parts source for my car. Always friendly and easy to talk with and they offer tips and great advice. No sales games here. To find a local store like Gino's that I trust and has affordably priced auto parts and is certified green is amazing. Each time I go I leave doing my happy dance. Bravo Gino and your awesome team thanks again for my parts.

Gino's is a great local company, customer oriented, very reliable and fairly priced, no BS here just good old fashioned friendly service. Gino's advice has saved us more money than we have spent with him, they will never sell you more than you need. We're very pleased with our recent engine purchase and with other parts we've gotten over the years. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
