I have been using Bret’s Autoworks Gardner for years. For me, it is all about honesty and quality of work. No pressure for identified repairs. They are not the cheapest but they use quality parts, warranty their work, provide a detailed overview/cost of the work to be completed, and get your approval before proceeding. Over the past few years they have started integrating video inspections of my vehicle with a detailed cost breakdown down available online so that you can see everything in one place. Fantastic! I do not have a need to go anywhere else.

Thank you so much for your loyalty and thoughtful review! We’re grateful you trust Bret’s Autoworks Gardner for your vehicle needs year after year. Honesty, quality work, and keeping you informed are at the heart of what we do. We're glad you appreciate the added convenience of our video inspections and online breakdowns — it’s all about making things transparent and easy for you. We truly value your continued support and look forward to serving you for many more years!

I had my car towed in when it wouldn't go into gear. I assumed I had a broken transmission. Bret's technician found it to be a different (and much cheaper) repair. They had it repaired in 24 hours. They have fair prices and do the job right. Thank you, Bret's.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad we could help get you back on the road quickly — and without the major repair you were expecting. We appreciate your trust in Bret’s and are always here when you need us. Thanks again for choosing us!

Brets did a good job on our car. Originally they thought it needed a new alternator and was able to reconnect the wiring and saved us money. Tracy kept us updated along the way from initial inspection to final costs. We received a video from the technician explaining all the things they had found. We are very satisfied with the service at Brets!

Thank you so much for the great feedback! We're glad to hear our team was able to resolve the issue without unnecessary repairs and save you some money in the process. Tracy and the crew always aim to keep our customers informed every step of the way, and it's great to know the video explanation was helpful. We appreciate your trust in Bret's and look forward to helping you again whenever you need us!
