What our customers are saying...

Joe B.
Great service and honest friendly guys who communicate well. I brought car in for brake inspection because they’ve gone over 60,000 miles. Surprising GAP said I was good to go for many more miles when they could have recommended a full brake job. Definitely earned my business for the future.

Easy to schedule appointment. No problem with routine oil change.
wm W.
Easy drop off and pick up before and after hours. Love the detailed information they sent describing all issues and level of importance. Have already referred someone to this shop and will return when I need work on my own car.
Sue H.
We're not from Galveston and had to have a noise in our Jeep diagnosed. Had it towed here based on reviews. Used the towing company they recommended. They also did a great job. They were very kind and helpful. Noise was diagnosed after taking care of a variety of other little noises. Turns out its the transfer case and has to go to a transmission shop on a flatbed. We were charged nothing!
Ashley G.
We bring all our vehicles for basic maintenance and more extensive repairs. Shop is always clean, quiet and the ease of how they handle customer service is the reason we keep coming back! Best on the island!

Constance S.
Went to this place for oil service, they were short staffed due to some holiday delays for some of their help. Offered to reschedule which was greatly appreciated by the manager. Came back for rescheduled service and was taken care of in an expeditious manner, no complaints.

GAP is a very professional & trustworthy group of terrific people. They have exceeded all of my expectations. Gerald and Ed are both exceptional. GAP is keeping my 2014 Jeep in great working order. I would highly recommend them.

Alyson D.
After experiencing some unexpected car trouble when disembarking from a cruise, we were able to drive straight to Galveston Automotive to trouble-shoot. The mechanics and staff were EXTREMELY kind and helpful. They accurately assessed the problem and gave us a fair estimate. They allowed us to use their waiting room, restrooms, etc. while making decisions about next steps. If the part needed for the repair had been readily available, we would have been very comfortable allowing them to service our vehicle. I highly recommend this establishment. We will not hesitate to use their services in the future if we have a need when we visit Galveston.

Zach S.
Best experience I’ve ever had in a shop
Mark D.
I had the tie rods on 2009 F150 replaced in August at a shop in Tomball and was told I needed shocks and struts too. Brought my truck in to Galveston Automotive today, told Gerald I needed new shocks and struts and a few other issues I needed to address with an older truck. They checked my truck out, shocks and struts are fine, they don’t need to be replaced. They absolutely could have gone along with what that other shop told me and made a few $$. Honestly and integrity goes along way with me! As long as I’m in Galveston, this is the only place I’ll bring my truck!
Dean E.
Car developed strange noise. GA were able to see me immediately. Identified and fixed the problem and had me on my way within 48 hrs at a reasonable price. I just arrived from Atlanta and have nothing but praise for their service.
scott P.
I could not be happier with service. Got me in quickly, transparent communication throughout and were able to get parts and get it fixed very fast.
Charles S.
Good repair shop. My second repair on my Jeep. They are professional.
