G & J Auto Center

I had two rear bearing replaced on my Subaru Impreza at G and J. The first bearings they put on my car did not work with my vehicle, so they upgraded me to OEM Subaru bearings at no extra cost. After a few weeks of driving I haven't noticed any other issues and the grinding sound has gone away.

Wanted to write this review specifically about Ron. Ron has made a consistent effort to help us even though I didn’t end up being a paying customer (upon his free inspection he discovered my car’s engine is shot). Ron didn’t care that I wasn’t a paying customer, he helped me just the same, going above and beyond even after my car was out of his hands. I think that says a lot about the service you’ll get here. Easy 5 stars. Quality people at this shop.

Great guys here. Super fast at getting the work done on my car. And a warranty on the work!!!!...that's amazing. Easy to make an appointment they got me in right away. I will always get my car worked on here. Thank you G&J you guys rock. 🚗

I called them yesterday about a part that needed to be replaced before I moved across the country next week, they were all so accommodating and were able to squeeze me in to look at my car the very next day. They got back to me about an hour later and could ship the part that day and replace it. The two guys are the counter even gave me a student discount which was very sweet and were telling me about how my car is in good shape. If I was staying here I would continue to give them my business. Very sweet people at this shop.

Very friendly, fair prices, good warranty, and the car runs great now.

5 Stars! Extremely, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and receptive to what the customer is seeking. Best car buying experience.

Great customer service! Gave me a ball park estimate which was very close to the actual quote. Also got my car in and out 2days earlier than they had estimated. Will be going here for future maintenance and repairs. Definitely recommend trusting them with any of your car needs!!

I had a very good experience here. I called earlier this week and they got me in right away, which no other mechanic could do in Corvallis. They were incredibly polite and listened to me when I told them what was wrong with my car. The diagnostics didn’t take long at all and they immediately called back and told me how much it would cost and it was very affordable. They’re replacing the cooling fans, fixing my front left tire rod, and doing an alignment. Just to get my cooling fans replaced at another place I went to in Portland was the same exact price that G & J is charging me to get all of this done. It was a huge relief and they’re getting it all done today. I don’t post many reviews but this place definitely earned 5 stars.

My engine light was flashing, and I could hear my engine gurgle. Called AAA, and they gave me three shops. All of these were booked, but G&J said to bring it in and will see it first thing in the morning. I live on the coast, so I would have to stay overnight. They were worried about me, so they tried to check and fix my car immediately.

Ron, Randy, and Travis were my superheroes that day. I appreciate their thoughtfulness and sliding me in to ensure I could drive safely home that evening.

They also stand by their maintenance.

Super kind, professional, and straightforward body shop- plus they offer a AAA discount if you ask! Recently had my clutch assembly done, car runs great! Thanks!

Just gave these guys a call concerning my 09 corolla. Asked about an engine tune up. They said not a lot is required for these newer 4 cyl engines and gave me a few tips over the phone. Good guys

I got my car towed here after closing and they were very professional with diagnosing my car. The guys here were very honest about the problem and did a great job fixing it. Also, my skid plate was broken and I had fixed it with duct tape but they used zip ties to fix it for free!! Very honest guys here, professional service, and good prices. Highly recommend!

Great shop. They are very helpful and honest and provide thorough inspection reports.

Best car experience between owning three cars, and going to a couple mechanics. They were very thorough with explaining my issue and the amount it would be. And keeping me updated on when my car would be ready. Only with my approval did they work on my car. There was no mystery to this experience which is huge with any car repair as issues get more complicated. Highly recommend!

Dennis and his son in law William were great to work with every step of the way. We traveled about a hour to look at one of their vehicles and they were responsive by email and very pleasant to work with in person. The vehicle was exactly as advertised and they were very much low pressure about our decision to buy or not. Once we decided we wanted the vehicle they were efficient and made the purchase process a positive one. Would definitely use them over and over if it works out that way in the future.

I brought my old car in to get a cost estimate for the brakes and G and J Auto gave a much better price than Les Schwab. I dropped the car off in the morning and they had the brakes done right away in about an hour! They were very accommodating, professional, and kind. Could not be happier, the car is braking so well now, it's like night and day difference. No more metal screeching sounds or having to step really hard on the pedal. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend.

Changed all four tires free of charge on our F150. Will be back for the next oil change etc. Thanks so much.

Had my alternator replaced here as my first mechanic shop experience in town. I was called to pickup my car in an hour and a half after the car was towed there.
Very transparent pricing. I shopped around to get quotes over the phone, which is difficult, and G&J is the best in explaining the components and what might be extra charges. The bill is exactly same as the quote, and they put extra work to grind and replace a bolt. Both the towing company (use B&R, no bob's! spread the word!) and G&J provide amazing service and made a panic road accident much easier. Thank you!!

Fantastic place. I took my lexus to Toyota of Corvallis because it wouldn’t start. They said it had “no compression” and needed a new $6000 engine replacement. I didn’t believe them and had the lexus towed to G and J. There they diagnosed it as fuel wash and had it running back as normal fit $200.

This place is absolutely amazing - to the level that even though I now live over an hour from them I still make the drive to have them do all of my vehicle work. They have done a bunch of small and larger jobs on 2 of my cars (both older Chevy's) now and I can't say enough good words about them.

What I have to say I like most is their ability to wok with you while not belittling your intelligence. As a young women I find some car mechanics to assume I'm uninterested in the work that's being done on my car...not at G & J. The man at the front desk is always open to walking me into the shop and show me the exact areas of issue on my car, what it's supposed to look like, etc. Additionally, they are willing to work with you to find a solution to any issue within your budget. They talk to you like it's there car and truthfully tell you what should be done immediately and what can wait a bit. It has been an absolute pleasure using G & J as my primary auto people. I've recommended dozens of people to them and will continue to do so!
