Client Testimonials

Gamber's offers great service in a timely manner. I had my car towed to a service shop and they charged me $200 dollars for diagnostics and told me they owere stumped. They had my car over three weeks. I had my car towed to Gambers and they were able to diagnose the problem and fix it quickly. The mechanics were knowledgeable and the price for repair/diagnostics/parts was reasonable.

Customers for 15 years. An honest professional shop thats fair, caring, and no games. Sometimes same day service for small jobs. Up to date training and years of experience without the overhead. Pro assistant too. Hard to find nowadays. Try it and see.
Kevin & Maria H.
A small-town sort of auto repair shop. A couple guys, a 2-bay garage, been around for years. I'm not enough of a gearhead to know whether they're genuinely better than any other shop, but the folks were friendly and quick, and my last bill was on the low end of what some online cost estimators said it should be.
Sam O.
My 83 year old grandmother has been bringing her car here to be serviced for the past couple years. They have gone above and beyond to help her. To see a business with such amazing customer service in this day in age is a breath of fresh air! I would highly recommend.
Sarah J.
I pulled into Gamber's at 4:45 pm last night with a VERY low tire in hopes that they had air that wasn't "frozen". Not only did they have a working air hose (unlike Dittmer's), but they pulled my tire and fixed the rim leak that was causing the problem. AND, they managed to get my wipers unstuck! The price was fair, the service was quick and Clutch the Dog was awesome. I will go back!
Kelly R.
I have taken my Hondas to be repaired by 2 generations of family owners. I have always been more than satisfied with the customer service and the knowledge to service my cars well. I have had warranty service at the Honda dealer, and I have returned to Gamber's for the personal service from knowing me as a customer and familiarity with my cars. Gary has discussed the need for any more costly repairs and his charges have been fair. When he needs to keep my car for a longer time, he has driven me home. All the buzz now is patronizing small and local vendors. Give Gamber's Auto Service a try for something like an oil change. Guaranteed you will return for other car services!

tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
