Hello Gil
Thank you for tipping me off about the process to use with VW. It was a bit stressful dealing with an unfamilair Tribunal process but the outcome is exactly what you foreshadowed.

Gil has been looking after my cars for over 15 years. He gives excellent service, the car is always ready when he says and he is very obliging with any query. I trust him implicitly to always do the right thing with my vehicle.

I am from out of town having a dispute with a dealer from Parramatta road where I bought a second hand car , I wanted both myself and my car to feel safe during a fair trading inspection and while so many garages said no to me Gil and Harold offered their garage and hoist and valuable time to help me out . I am so grateful to them and their extra advice to me was exceptional service even to a stranger – thank you so very much !
Oh and those dealers were caught out knowing the car had suspension issues and gave me an illegal pink slip and refusing the dealer warranty on the repairs – they are yet to come to a payment agreement but to watch their faces when the mediator asked them questions was priceless .
Thanks Gil auto for allowing me to find safe neutral territory for the fair trading inspection

I highly recommend Gil Auto for the work they did on my older model car at a very reasonable charge. But their committment to customer service was most clearly demonstrated when I recently lost my car keys which had their tag on it. A few weeks later they were contacted by the person who found my keys and Gil Auto arranged for the safe return of the keys and paid the person afinder’s fee out of their pocket. Thanks guys!

Dear Gil,
9 July 2015
For the past 20 years you have provided service and maintenance of the highest quality for my vehicles, ensuring trouble free motoring, both within the city limits and on long distance journeys. Vehicle performance has been excellent as a result. Much appreciated also are the additional services such as RMS notification.
I am giving up the convenience and luxury of motoring. In view of this i want to take the opportunity to express my appreciation of the excellent care and attention to detail so unfailingly provided.
With warmest good wishes and grateful thanks to Harold and all at Gil-Auto

Thank you for the attached photos, I put them together and met with Holden Suttons in Waitara and they have had my car for one week ‘fixing’ it, on Friday they informed me that the timing belt – which was only replaced last year has stretched and that they have ordered a new one and will replace that this week – I should be able to pick it up on Wednesday.
Once again thank you so much for explaining everything in a way that I was able to understand, this made it easier when communicating with Holden.
Regards

Gil:
I know I did this on the phone yesterday, but I wanted to go on written record to say thank you so much for doing such a thorough inspection yesterday on the Astra I was looking at buying. As a total car nut of 49 years with an insatiable appetite for detail, I was so impressed at the lengths you went to in doing the inspection. The fact that you took the time to call me and explain some of the items you found was the icing on the cake. I can see why you come recommended by the NRMA. I elected not buy it based on your inspection findings, so you saved me a lot of effort and grief in buying the car which had a few worries.
So well done to you and your team. I will certainly use you again if I ever look to buying a car in Sydney again and will not hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends. Please feel free to use this email as an endorsement.
Yours sincerely

Dear Gil,
I am moving overseas. I just wanted to drop you a line so that you can update your records, and also to thank you for so many years (10!) of great service. It has always been a pleasant experience dealing with your garage: no fuss, respectful, and reliable. I have appreciated your advice, and feel that I am a better (more confident, more responsible) car owner than I was 10 years ago.
I have treated myself to a new car in the US. An Audi! My only regret is that I will not be able to bring it round to Edgecliff Road for servicing.

Dear Gil
I have been more than happy with the service in every way and have already referred you to people. As of this week I have sold my old car and now have a Honda Jazz. After the first free service with Larke Hoskins I will be back.

Hi Harold
Thank you for the test results for the car tested today
Further to our chat this afternoon & Gil’s offer to refund an amount for the test work not undertaken.
Again please pass on my thanks to Gil for the high ethical standards and professionality of your organisation in presenting me with the option to abort the testing and save some money on what appears to be a car that is not a desirable purchase due to its many and varied mechanical problems.
I won’t hesitate to recommend your services should the occasion arise.
Many thanks
