Gil Auto

I have taken my car to Gil at Gil Auto for approximately 10 years.

Gil, Harold and the team have always been professional and courteous to me.

Taking the time to discuss any planned (or unexpected) changes to my car service in advance so there are no surprises.

Their car service/rego reminder text is always helpful along with their “key finding/return”.

I look forward to bringing my car to Gil and can confidently recommend them.

I went to the shop in the morning and asked for a pink slip. The man on the counter told me it's fully booked until new year. How come a 10min work needs to wait for 2 weeks?

My wifes Mini Cooper started having problems so I took it into Gil Auto. It ended up being a rather serious issue unfortunately, so I have taken it to bmw to try and get it fixed under australian consumer law as recommended by Gil.
Although the situation was unlucky for me, it was a pleasure dealing with Gil. He kept me updated every step of the way as he performed a thorough diagnosis to find the root cause of the issue. While some shops will throw parts at it unnecessarily, Gil makes the effort to accurately diagnose the issue without inflating costs for his customers. He took the time to explain his investigation and reasoning for every job and test that was performed.
Thank you for all your work Gil, and when the Mini is back to life I will not hesitate to bring it back here again!

Great service from Gil & Harold when i took my van to them for a service. I will be using Gil Auto again in the future.

Very professional and transparent. Have had my car serviced a few times here and will continue to return. Appreciate Gil and Harold explaining in good detail why or why not something needs to be replaced or changed.

Most impressed by Gil diagnostic service re a coolant issue on my Audi SQ5, and very good advice for making claim on manufacturer. Dispassionate advice that will save me a lot of money but for which they wouldn't even charge. They certainly have my future business. Very nice people too, Harold and Gil.

Impossible to talk to.
Very arrogant and unprofessional.
Obviously to old angry on the World and Grumpy to talk.
Not listening.
Unbelievable!

Thank you for letting me know.

I guess you will replay and make something up so that review looks good and I look like bad person.

Go for it mate

It's always a pleasure to take my car to Gil Auto. The big plus is the personal service and being able to speak to the person supervising the work. Also, it is close to our home, so very convenient. The quality of the work is excellent and it's reassuring to have such a reliable mechanic so close by.

Gil Auto was the only service that could identify and fix the problem with my catalytic converter. After trying so many different services I was quite hopeless that this engine light will always be on and exhaust will be inefficient, but Gil went above and beyond to find the root cause and fix it. It's been a year since that time and my exhaust is still great.

Very knowledgeable team, very pleasant to deal with and very reasonable prices
I have an Electric Vehicle and was pleasantly surprised

This is the best mechanic I have had it my 40 years on the road
Highly ethical very fair and reasonable pricing honest assessment of work that needs to be done

Went to Gil to get our brakes fixed and airbag light checked. He charged us for a pink slip inspection even when we didn't ask for it. Took off our brand new Bosch front wipers and replaced them with really cheap wipers. When I asked why he did that and if I could get the Bosch wipers back he said if I didn't ask him to keep it on he always replaces it as part of the pink slip inspection. But curiously he didn't replace the rear wipers even though they were in worse condition.

He did do a great job fixing our airbag light problem quickly. But our brakes started squeaking within a couple weeks. When I told him of this he said he couldn't hear anything and so did no further work.

Not going to be coming back because of my personal experience. But thanks for fixing our airbags.

Great and honest family run mechanics who are very well established in the local community. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Gil Auto. They are professional, efficient, timely and excellent at what they do. They are a pleasure to deal with

Gil Auto’s Gil and Harold are excellent. We service several cars through them. They are reliable, trustworthy and incredibly helpful.

Knowledgeable, helpful, reliable & always willing to respond to a customer's specific needs & circumstances.

Gil, Harald and the team have been servicing our cars for many years. Gill Auto is the model of a well run and successful family business. Extremely knowledgeable, always courteous and competitively priced. I always feel very confident leaving our cars in Gill Auto’s hands for whatever may need to be done to them.

I moved to Bondi 8 years ago and randomly came across this place - luckiest decision ever. Gil is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever had in 20years of motoring and top bloke, highly recommend.

Gil sleuthed out and fixed a number of elusive problems with our Jeep Cherokee. Two other local workshops had tried and failed to identify the issues. Thanks Gil and your team for your clarity of explanation, skilled workmanship and fair pricing. Highly recommended.

I would definitely recommend coming here. They are so pleasant to talk to and are honest and professional with how they address the problems with the car. But most of all I am so impressed how helpful they are in trying to get the best outcome and work with the customers needs. Don’t hesitate, go, they are great.
