Pros:- Friendly service- Good price- Short wait- Nice fish tankCons:- Left white bead sealant smeared all the way around one of my black wheels- Had to return to the shop the next day to flip a couple of tires (directional tread, forgivable mistake).- On the first trip to the shop, I had one special request: I asked them to hand-torque the lug nuts. They said they always do that, so I felt reassured that I had found the right kind of shop. When I returned the next day to have the directional tread corrected, I considered reminding them to hand-torque the lugs, but since they always do that, I decided not to remind them and just let them do their job. Not much was going on in the shop at the time, so I stuck around in the waiting room. I heard them take off the wheels with the impact, no problem. After some time had passed for flipping the tires on the rims, I heard the sound again. I thought, surely not..., but the sound persisted. I walked over to the lift and saw what I had feared -- he was really hammering on it too.Over-torqued lugs are not that big of a deal, but they lost my trust and future business.

Ive gone here a few times for oil changes, and they installed a new set of rims and winter tires. So far so good! They are pretty flexible with scheduling and they have done quality work. If youre looking for a local mechanic, I highly recommend it.

Gateway has been servicing my car for about 5 years. Always good work and professional. They recently fixed a difficult electrical problem for less than originally quoted and saved me from going to a dealer

Good service; installed new tires/wheels in a timely and professional manner. And they hooked me up when I needed color-matched lug nuts swapped.

High recommend Gateway on Elizabeth Street! I called when my power steering went out. Not only did they fix the problem (and even allowed me to purchase the part and have it shipped to them), but they also identified another problem and fixed it. They completely degreased my engine, all within a few hours! The price was EXTREMELY reasonable and they were incredibly professional and responsive to my phone calls - even the one after hours. A big Thanks to Mike and the team there!

I went to two other places over the last year due to brake/engine noise on my 120k miles Toyota and it kept recurring. *Mike* was concerned about the brake noise and assured me they would take care of me and keep me safe, as soon as I got my car back I was ASTOUNDED by the difference in how the brakes felt. I didnt realize in all these months that my brakes were actually not functioning as well as they should have, and I WAS unsafe. Thank God for Mike and the Gateway Auto Team. Quick, cheap, fabulous people. I felt taken care of and so thrilled this is finally fixed, an my family is safe.

Whether it’s auto repairs or detailing, the team at gateway has been amazing. They came highly recommended from a friend of mine and I’ve never been disappointed. There have even been instances where I brought my car in for what I perceived to be an issue, they took a look, then let me know there wasn’t really any problem. That’s the type of service you’ll get here- honest, extremely competent, and respectful. I can’t recommend a place higher.

I would never and I repeat never take my car to Gateway repair shop due to their inabilities to fix my 2010 BMW X3. To begin with gateway repair shop held my x3 two months to repair a radiator and gasket leaks in the truck. I was charged 6500.00 to correct these problems Less then a month later my truck starting to have Misfire which would allow my truck not to exceed over twenty miles. Again I took the truck back to Gateway repair shop. For almost two Gateway repair shop made attempts after attempts to correct the problem. I would call trying to find the status of my truck. I was told we are replacing cylinders I never given a clear response to exactly what was wrong with my vehicle While attempting to repair my i was told I need a new engine I finally told Gateway repair shop to get my truck running so I could remove from their shop. When I pick up my truck the motor covering was left off. I am extremely disappointed in Gateway repair shop if they was unable to correctly repair my x3 then I should have been informed. I felt I was ripped off by this shop. I have pictures of it not put back in place on my x3. Stay away from this shop

Gateway Auto has exceeded my expectations numerous times. Their service rates are substantially lower than competitors and they offer the best customer service. My AC compressor had to be replaced and not only did they complete that job, they also interior/exterior detailed my car and put air in the tires for no additional charge. They go above and beyond what the customer expects. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Gateway Auto!

See first posting at the Division Street locationEven worse....Owner looks at me like I have 2 heads...(read...no way there is a problem with their work) The owner does check out the breaks and shows me how great they are, drives it, and assures me there is no problem. Then he says, if you hear any noises or have any problems, let me know. HELLO? ….Dude, isnt that what I came here for????….deaf....dumb....what? Oh, Im a girl...could that be it????Now I have to go someplace else and have them tell me why my breaks are grinding and they feel low. And then go and get my money back.

Took my car in because theyre close to my office and needed to figure out what was causing my steering wheel to wobble. They were able to get it in same day and get back to me quickly, but told me I needed $2,000 worth of suspension work & tires for another $800. After taking it to a couple other shops they all said the same thing: theres nothing wrong with my suspension at all and all I needed was the tires. Glad I got a second opinion and saved myself $2,000+.

Great experience! From beginning to end the customer service was great. Unlike other repair shops where you may not feel comfortable, they are honest and recommend services that are needed. Shadi (the owner) is a very friendly person. They are very reasonable with pricing. Also must add while you wait (if you choose to do so) they have a cafe with complementary coffee,expresso,fountain drink,etc.
