Great place for all of your auto repair needs. They dropped everything for us, we had 3 trucks break down back to back causing a massive issue for us. GPS fixed us up replacing 2 motors and going above and beyond to make sure all systems were good to go and fixed correctly. Thanks GPS!

Office staff was friendly and kept me updated on the status of the repair including the estimated cost. The vehicle repair was completed late in the day and they allowed me to pick the vehicle up the following day.

GPS and the technicians are the best. I always go to them to do the regular maintenance of oil changes Etc. The technicians and staff are always Pleasant to work with. I recently took my SUV Tahoe in because it started making a loud motorcycle noise out of nowhere. They found a leak in the exhaust manifold they quickly resolved the repair. Now my truck sounds awesome and quiet they did an excellent job.

I always am treated with courtesy and professionalism as a customer. Even though they are quite busy at the front desk, they take the time when it's my turn, to explain what will be done. GPS has fair pricing too and they don't try to sell you services you don't need right now. No pressure. I did not receive a phone call when my car was ready for pickup but Kevin later apologized for that. I appreciated that and apology accepted. They have a man working there now who was able to drive me back home while my car was serviced. Much appreciated! I like their rewards program. Saved me $20! Other shops don't have that! I would recommend GPS Auto to anyone. I feel fortunate they are close to my home and it's a reputable car repair shop!
