| - I am actually a little late for this review, I have to say I have never had a better experience at an automotive repair shop. Have an LR3 and spoke with Landrover dealership who said it sounded like new engine but they would need to run a $750 diagnostic test to find out. Took to a to remain nameless shop in Tempe with a great reputation and a radio show, paid $100 in towing and $240 for a diagnostic test. Only to tell me we really don't deal with Landrovers, but could quote me on a new engine because they are pretty sure it is a broken valve stem. Oh geez thanks, maybe you could have told me this prior to me writing you a check. Still think they are a creditable shop overall though. I was desperate and did not want to call it quits, found Gary's shop on google and for just over $100 he would run a diagnostic test. I was skeptical but this would have been the final dagger for the Rover's retirement. I gave Gary all my service records and he knew what I was willing to spend.
Called me the next day and told me to come get my car, it was a $400 fix. A bad fuel valve, seriously! After giving me a great overview of the overall condition of the engine, I had him replace a lot of belts, fluids, and hoses as well. Price was right as he quoted, no surprises, no delays, and great experience. 10k miles later and 4 months, it runs like a charm.
Thanks Gary, he has a great shop and truly and honest guy.
