Came here for an alignment after getting lied to by Tuffy. They were able to fit me in right away and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg. Everyone I spoke with here was kind and pleasant. Didn’t feel like I was getting taken advantage of like most mechanics. Quick and painless. I will continue to choose Garey’s. Highly recommend

If you can pay some guys a bunch of money to fix something on your car that you can't see or feel, and still walk away saying that you think they're honest and likeable- then they must be doing something right. 5 Stars!

I’ve been using Gary’s Safety Center for many years. I no longer live in Bay City but any time I need work done on my vehicles I make the drive to them because they are that good and that trustworthy. I can’t say enough good about these guys.

These people are honest, upfront, and extremely dedicated to your cause. Case in point, I took my 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye there recently for an all wheel alignment. On the rear lower control arms of this gem of a vehicle I own, Dodge used aluminum for it's construction. Great for weight reduction but not so much…
