Miller Gary Foreign Car Service

Trustworthy, honest, fast, and reasonably priced. I dropped my car off with Gary at 8:30 one morning and he called me by 9 with an estimate. I hadn’t even made it into my office in that amount of time. (He’s also walking distance from Trax) Most importantly, if he doesn’t think it’s worth fixing, he will tell you.

Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone about this place, lets have it be our little secret!
A/​C repair. Hole in condenser from prior accident — two bolts punched through. Repair was much less than I expected going in. New condenser, Freon and labor. Took us over to look at the failed part. Looked over a LONG list of what another mechanic wanted to fix and told us what was really worth fixing, and not, to keep a 1998 Subaru running.
Like Jonathan M. said, he will tell it to you straight.

I had a terrible and disappointing customer experience here. In fact, this is my first Unilocal review because I was so bothered. I originally took my vehicle to a different auto shop in town and received an alarmingly high quote for some proposed work to be done. After seeing the great reviews on this page, I decided to call and get a quote from Gary Miller’s service center. The person I spoke with was short and agitated as I inquired a general quote on several fixes. He then angrily told me that he was busy and was missing other calls while we were talking. After that, he very aggressively (just short of a yell) told me that I need to make up my mind, which ultimately forced me to hang up the phone and recuperate. I called the next dealer on my list and they easily and courteously walked through my repairs and offered a better quote. I had thousands of dollars of work to be done, and would’ve been a repeat customer, had the representative not been so brash and tactless. I would look elsewhere before you go here.

Mechanics like Gary don’t surface often. I hesitate to write a review because I don’t want to share the secret and have to wait to get my car into the most honest, most reasonable mechanic I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been going to Gary since I had my little 1988 Honda CRX. I now take him my 2006 CRV and he’s never been anything but honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Honda had a re-​call on my Honda and I took it into the dealer who told me I need an alignment along with the re-​call adjustment and they could do that for $$$. I said, I’d wait and talk it over with my mechanic. Well, yeah, Gary said, «No. You don’t need an alignment. How much were they going to charge? Wow, you were going to get off pretty cheap!»
Let’s just hope he NEVER retires!

Gary is great. Our family has been taking our cars to him for years now. We trust him explicitly and he has earned that trust over many years of fantastic service. Gary is what I would call a minimalist: He will only encourage you to do repairs that are necessary. He never up-​sells, charges very reasonable labor rates, and without fail has been able to do better work for less cost than any other mechanic I have had to use in the past. Gary has worked on several sports cars of ours, as well as commuter vehicles. This is the only time I’ve made the effort to do a Unilocal review, as Gary is really the only service provider I’ve felt strongly enough about to recommend to complete strangers.

Car runs great!
Gary Miller is a total professional. He will tell it to you straight with no B.S. Gary maintains & repairs my 2004 Acura better than the dealer did. Recent brakes for my Acura, dealer quote was $ 360.00. Had the same job done at Miller for $ 245.00 with OEM parts. I’ve referred friends to Gary without hesitation and they have experienced the same excellent results.
