What customers said about electrical repair
The technicians and front desk are all professional and friendly. They provide good quality of services with good price( cheaper than other big dealers). I highly recommend this place for someone needs repair, maintenance, or asking for a second opinion for vehicle problems.
Truck towed in because it wouldn't start. Gulf Coast diagnosed it was a key issue. The truck thought it was being stolen and wouldn't start. Programmed 2 new keys and got the truck back on the road same day. Have used gulf coast over the years and have found them to be very professional, proficient and extremely honest. Highly recommend them.
I had a breakdown near Rexburg while traveling home from a work trip. The guys at Oswald were fantastic, they had my truck repaired within a week. I hope I don't need to use them again, but they'll be my first call with any future vehicle problems in Eastern Idaho!
Ive been taking my cars here for the past 5 years. Honest and professional work and ive never had any issues with any of the work done on any of my vehicles.
I have a commercial plumbing company and have been in business 40 years. I am happy to give this 5 Star review to Gulf Coast Auto & Truck. I have used Frank and his staff for at least 35 years on all my cars and trucks, and refer folks to them all of the time.
Third time using Gulf Coast Auto & Truck repair; always good work in timely manner. They’re up front with cost, and never try to offer unnecessary repairs. The price is very fair for the quality of work that is done.
