Testimonials

These guys are great! Went in (first time customer) with a side bubble on my tire and while inspecting the it Dave broke the news that I'd need 4 new tires (back 2 needed to go and the bubble was a front one). So we got everything scheduled for a Friday (it was Tuesday). Later that night they already inspected my car for issues they didn't see before (and there we a lot of them). Dave called and broke the news that if I got a majority of everything worked out that needed to be (tires, brakes, exhaust) it would be pretty pricey. He then said that he didn't want me to put all that money into a car that was on its last life. He put me first before his company. He could have taken my money and did the repairs, but he didn't. Instead he fixed the one tire to by me a couple of weeks so I could go car shopping. Great business, better people working there. He has a new customer for life.

They were nice enough to re bead my tire for $20

Big fan of this place - 10/10 recommend. They were very helpful and friendly. They were also up-front and honest about what they could/could not fix, and didn't string me along for added charges when they knew it wouldn't address the root of the issue (like other repair shops I've been to). Overall, the service was great, and the pricing was even better!

Wonderfully friendly as soon as I walked in the door. Came in for a check engine light but found quite a bit more work on our plate. They were so understanding and helped me make some step by step decisions. Very considerate of my pocket book. Giving the heave-ho to the dealerships. Coming here for anything car related I need from now on. AND they have loaner cars!! Great to know!!

Car crapped out 90 miles from my house and was towed to Gary Willes. They were not able to recreate the issue and spent a few days trying to do so. They also inspected my car in detail and found numerous issues which they did correct at the same time as trying to recreate the issue I was having. After about a week, I did come pick up my car. During the ride home this original issue cropped up. I drove back to the garage and they jumped through hoops and immediately corrected the issue (tricky bad alternator - they did not even charge me labor!!!) in record time while I waited. Awesome customer service, very honest, and very detailed investigation and report of all other issues found with my car. Very happy and wish these guys were in Milwaukee. Go with these guys!

Simply phone call helped me solve my problem. Glad he asked me questions instead of just making an appointment for my car. Greatly appreciated

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
