These guys have saved the day for me twice. And they have been servicing my work truck and personal vehicle for the last 8 years. Before hearing about G&S, I took my Seabring to 3 other mechanics for a recurring alternator problem. Greg fixed the car after diagnosing the real problem - no more alternator problems.They were also able to install a seat belt in my work truck on short notice. Wouldn’t consider another shop in Silver Spring for my automotive repair needs.

Save time, save money and save your sanity avoid this shop at all cost. Greg will tell you all kinds of things about your car but not actually fix the issue. First he said Alternator was good then called to say no alternator is bad it might be an “intermittent alternator his exact words. Then he will tell you it might be an intermittent computer problem. Then replace the alternator and charge you nightly and guess what when you roll your car out the next day you still have cranking issues. If your a women especially don’t go here. Greg will talk down to you and give you a lecture on GeneralMotor parts vs aftermarket parts. Like you don’t know the difference because your a woman. 😡Like Dude your the one who can’t figure out the issue and you spent an entire 20 minutes complaining about the noise next door. The helicopters overhead and all the noise of the sirens & police. Maybe if you spent more time actually doing the job your being paid to do there would not be an issue. BTW Greg, you sir need to go back to school and learn how to be a mechanic and run your business.

Greg was absolutely incredible! I had taken my car to two other mechanics because of a very faint sound that was happening sporadically. Both mechanics said they found nothing and that it was probably just my car getting older. I called Greg because I was absolutely certain it was not just an aging car. The first thing Greg did was drive the car around with me so I could point out the sound to him (the other mechanics did not do this). He took the time to pinpoint the issue and gave me a reasonable price to fix it. He even said it was something that did not need to be fixed right away if I needed to wait. He clearly cares about his customers.Additionally, he is the only mechanic who has not dismissed me immediately because I am a woman. He took the time to answer all of my questions, and I never felt rushed or patronized. He also checked out the rest of my car and gave me a summary of it--when I would need to get the brakes replaced, oil changed etc.These guys are absolutely amazing!

G&S has kept my old cars running for 25 years. Greg & Neil are the best mechanics I have worked with. With preventive maintenance, I no longer have problems although both cars are well over 160k miles.

I went for a run one day and found G&S on Sligo. It was after hours so I couldnt stop and talk to the mechanics. I have an old Jeep Wrangler that I am restoring. I had some electrical issues, a loose steering column, problems with a water leak, and therefore, called them the next day to see if they could fit me in. I talked with Greg and he told me to come in whenever I could make it (didnt need to make an appointment). They fixed my electrical issues and loose steering column and found that I also had a leaky steering box. I didnt have the funds to fix the leaking steering box at the time. so I took the Jeep home. Everything worked fine and my electrical issues and steering column worked perfectly. After 1-2 weeks, my Jeep started to whine due to the leaky steering box, so I brought the Jeep in and Greg filled up my steering fluid, gave me an extra bottle of fluid, and as an extra, reset the timing on the Jeep.Bottom line is, I highly recommend Greg/G&S and will be going back to get the steering box fixed and some other work done once I get the funds. Greg was great to deal with, was a very nice guy, and and will shoot you straight.

Prices are all over the place. Estimates completely un-parseable. The working theory is he was just making it up as he went. Had to get the estimate typed up twice for readability by any average human. I agreed to one price, but when I came to retrieve my car that price increased by an absurd amount (embarrassed to say how much) without so much as a text to warn me. Communication alternated between non-existent and dissertation. Leaving my car there felt like throwing it into a void; no calls, no updates. Had to return multiple times to address issues that were supposedly already fixed. Work that I was charged for was never done (or that was some expensive WD40 on my bald front brakes). Every little thing was a struggle. But hey, free wiper blades?Looking for reasons to recommend, can’t find any. I wanted to believe. Go to Murray’s (literally around the corner), they’ll take better care of you.

I was never sent a written quote as I requested, the repair proceeded anyway, and I was being overcharged based on quotes from other local shops. When I brought all of this up when I came get my car, the owner literally yelled, insulted me and told me to never come back. No problem. I hope anyone reading this review goes either.

Service sucks and the guy that was here this morning (07/18) either is a racist or just have a bad breakfast that has some thing stuck up his ass.
