When ALL warning lights went off at once, I drove carefully to Gilsdorf. They read the codes, said it was ok to drive until appointment. They submitted estimate and explained it. I approved and it was done the next day. The guys are competent and pleasantly patient with explaining. Car is happy again and so am I.

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re glad we could get to the bottom of those warning lights and get your car back to running happily again. Our team takes pride in providing clear explanations, honest recommendations, and quality service, so it’s great to hear that you felt well taken care of throughout the process. We truly appreciate your trust in Gilsdorf and look forward to helping you and your car again in the future!

I brought my car in and was told I needed a window mechanism installed, had to bring it back TWICE, for them to repair/fix the same part (luckily under warranty). This third time I am bringing it somewhere else, where their mechanics are much more experienced. I know new mechanics have to start somewhere but this is the fourth time, I'm having this same issue (initial problem + 2 repairs + current repair). This place is friendly, but just be careful. Also they charge $100+ for an oil change.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you found our team friendly, but we're truly sorry for the frustration you've experienced with your window repair. All of the work we perform includes a full 2-year/24,000-mile warranty, and that warranty also covers any work previously completed under warranty. Unfortunately, there are times when suppliers provide parts that experience consistent failures. Based on what you've shared, it appears the replacement part failed not once, but twice. Had we been given the opportunity to perform the repair again, we would have used a different brand of replacement part in an effort to prevent this issue from happening again. We understand why you chose to have the repair completed elsewhere, and while we wish we could have earned the opportunity to make it right, we completely understand your frustration after dealing with the same issue multiple times. We sincerely hope the other shop chose a replacement part that will last, and that you no longer have to deal with this issue. Regarding our oil change pricing, our service includes more than just replacing the oil and filter. We perform a comprehensive digital vehicle inspection and use quality parts and fluids that meet your vehicle's specifications, allowing us to help identify potential concerns before they become larger repairs. Thank you again for your feedback. If you need anything in the future or if there's ever an opportunity for us to assist you again, please don't hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your business and wish you the very best.

Do not use this garage. They did some work on my 07 Tundra including an oil change. 2 months later, was showing no oil pressure with a lot of warning light flashing so I brought it back in explaining what was going on. They gave me an estimate to fix of $2081. I'm half was mechanical and decided I could do the work myself. When I went to pick it up, I ask about why the low oil pressure. They said they didn't know it had a low oil pressure problem. I explained that is why I brought it in. After taking a second look at it, they explain a failed oil filler was blocking the oil pressure sensor, the one they installed, was the problem and I didn't need the $2k work. Fast forward, I just got my oil changed for the first time since the original, and was told the truck had the wrong oil filter on it, and could have caused damage. This is an example of complete incompetence. Do not use them.

Tim, thank you for sharing your experience. We're very sorry to hear that you left feeling frustrated and disappointed. Based on your review, it sounds like there may have been some miscommunication regarding the symptoms you initially reported and the diagnostic process that followed. We understand how concerning warning lights and oil pressure issues can be, and we never want a customer to feel that their concerns were not fully heard or properly addressed. We are also concerned by your comments regarding the oil filter that was installed during a previous service. Because this situation involves specific technical claims and events that occurred over multiple visits, we’ll be reviewing all information we can find to ensure that in the future we prevent miscommunications or mistakes made on our behalf.
