But today, today was completely different. I pulled in, and right away the employees were a little hostile with a van owner. I didn’t get the context, but was taken aback at how they were speaking to this gentleman….I originally thought, “Huh? Maybe the customer was being ridiculous. ??????? ” But then I pulled into the bay. A different guy started gathering my information - and I interrupted him stating, “I should be in the system.” - and did it with a smile, of course. ?? The guy responded “Well first off, we’re a new company, and have taken everything over. Prices and everything have gone up. If you don’t want to give us your information, I’m happy to let you go, so you can go somewhere else.” ???????????? Wtf????? I thought for a second, then asked “We’ll how much are the price differences. He spouted out all the new prices and I then said, “Well sir - I think I WILL take my business elsewhere.” The price was $20 more than I paid at my last visit. So yikes ?? but that wouldn’t have mattered if he had been polite in any manner. I still need an oil change. He started to walk away, but before I pulled out of the bay, I asked him back over to my window- and said “Just from a customer service standpoint - you might not want to tell your customers they go somewhere else. In case you’d like to learn something today.” He quickly rolled his eyes, walked back to the front of the car, and motioned me out as he yelled to the guy below “She doesn’t want service.” While pulling out, another vehicle (a work truck) was pulling in next to me - and the employees trashed him and his driving as he was pulling in. Overall - those men were all jerks. Within 10 min, I witnessed 3 different employees talking trash and acting like pure jerks straight to the customers and they created an environment I wish to be NO part of.

We have an older Jeep that we tow behind our 40' Motor Home and it was left in gear during a tow doing serious damage to every part of the engine. We called around and four of the five places could not even order a new engine or start on it till after the new year. Stephen said he would do his best to have us up and running by Christmas and he did. He replaced the engine, and all the parts, and did a remarkable job. He is very patient, kind and knowledgeable. It was a very tough job, but he did it well and got us back on the road. The price was fair and I only wish I lived in the area so he could become my go-to mechanic. I highly recommend Gulf Coast Auto Repair. Jon Davis
