Gordon’s Auto Works

If your looking for a great and honest mechanic, Gordon is your guy. If you have ever had issue with having good service for your auto, you must give this shop a try. Been with him for years and years, sadly I am not in the area now but I do recommend Gordon’s Auto to everyone.

I’ve taken our cars to Gordon for the last 30 years, everything from early MG’s to the latest Toyota’s. We’ve been pleased with the quality and price of his work and have advised our friends and family to take their cars to him.
I appreciate his forthrightness, if there’s something you can do to reduce your costs, such as treat the vehicle differently, he’ll tell you. He’s on your side.

Gordon’s was recommended by a friend, but I saw mixed reviews on Unilocal.Decided to give them a try to repair the A/​C on my 12 year old car. They were courteous & professional. Did the repair in a day for $ 700 less than dealer quote. I’ll be back!

Too bad we can’t award negative stars, that’s the only way Gordons would get a five!
Still nothing… they’ve had over four years to make this right and NOTHING!
Since this incident, I had the seals fail twice in quick succession in the narrowed 9″ rear end Gordon’s built me, a better mechanic discovered that Gordon’s had used the wrong spacers and that was pushing the seals out of place… another Gordon’s mistake that cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. STAY AWAY!!!

BEWARE!!! BEWARE! This place is the worst I have ever been to. I was charged over $ 1,000 to change a rear main seal, valve cover gaskets and spark plug wires… which seemed like a good deal. 2 days Later my truck still leaked oil. called Gordon. He said it would take a few days for the oil to subside. which I knew was a crock! so 1 week and 900 miles later Still leaking. Called Gordon! He got all mad… rude as can be. told me to bring it in and he will fix it. I bring truck in and he calls me to say it was something to do with a hose from my radiator that I had replace 2 weeks prior. Charged Me another $ 80 to fix. A few days later… oil still leaking… So b4 contacting Gordon… I bring my truck to 3 other mechanics that point out the reasons they know he didn’t even do any work on my truck other then change spark plug wires. they show me how the bolt on my valve covers were never touched and the washers were old and deteriorating. same with the bolts on my transmission were never touched. meaning he never changed my rear main seal. so I bring truck in… He gets all mad and is basically yelling at me as I show him these things. So he tells me to bring my truck back in the morning and he will fix it. so he ended up finally changing the valve cover gaskets and now I see the clean bolts and new washers and the oil has stopped leaking. So basically I paid $ 1085.00 for valve cover gaskets and new spark plugs. Also coming to find out I have 3 other friends with the same experience from Gordons Autoworks. Also a few Mechanics in the area say that place is a nightmare. They get lots of work from unhappy customers from Gordons. He really deserves minus 5 stars in my book. also read the reviews in the link below on this page «other reviews that are not currently recommended» I will be reporting to the BBB and will try to get some News coverage on him. He needs to be exposed.

You’ve got to take the good with the bad at Gordon’s. He was referred to me and on my first visit I was greeted by him telling me to «just sit down and be patient» when I asked how long the service would take. The prices are fine, much better than a dealership, but be prepared to deal with a rude owner, long wait, and general distasteful experience to save some pennies.

Incomplete work, faulty parts, miss diagnosis problems on cars, charges for things you did not want done, does not ask for approval 1^st, just does the work. If he works on car or replace parts and something happens it is never his fault. Then he thinks something else is wrong and charges you for that

I’ve been a fan of Gordon’s for almost twenty years. He is absolutely honest, fair and he fulfills his promises. Because of work commitments my car is currently in Sacramento and I have such complete confidence that I travel 400 miles to have him service my car. He did the 90,000 mile service on my Lexus, at ¹⁄₃ the price of what the Lexus dealer wanted, and I had more confidence in the work that was done.

Gordon was fabuloso! I had a cracked catalytic converter and came to him by recommendation. I am very pleased with his work. He is very knowledgeable and helped clear up some of the mystery of my car’s inner workings by patiently answering any questions I had. He was very kind and fair and even though I live in L.A., I’ll drive my car down to Orange if my car needs work in the future. Thanks, Gordon!!!

As far as auto repair, it doesn’t get any better.
Gordon and his staff do excellent work on just about any car you could take in.
His prices are very, very good and he is as honest as they come.
I can’t imagine taking a car to get work done anywhere else.
