Great customer service! I will be back in the future

I’ve given these guys a good review in the past, but not today. 2008 GMC Sierra, when I’d turn on my A/C the light would flash and then go out (A/C wasn’t coming on). Google said it could be low refrigerant or half-a-dozen other things. After a $130 diagnostic bill, I found out that it was simply because I had the fan off (turned all the way left which I thought was low, not off). When I explained the issue to G&L and they took a look, they should’ve been able to quickly and easily realize that’s what I was experiencing. Live and learn I guess.

Hi Barry, We really appreciate you coming back and sharing your experience, especially as someone who’s supported us in the past. I’m sorry this visit left you feeling frustrated. I do want to give a little context into how we approach diagnostics. When a vehicle comes in with a concern like an A/C issue, we typically operate under the assumption that basic controls (like fan speed, temperature settings, etc.) are being used as intended. Because of that, our process is designed to move straight into system testing such as checking pressures, electrical signals, and components so we can rule out the more common mechanical or electrical failures as efficiently as possible saving you money in the long run with diagnostic testing time. In situations like yours, where the issue ends up being related to a control setting, it can understandably feel like something simple was overlooked. That’s never our goal, and we can see how that would be frustrating, especially after a diagnostic charge. We do appreciate the feedback and it’s a good reminder that even the basics are worth double checking, no matter how straightforward they may seem. Thanks again for your past support, Barry. It truly means a lot to us. – Garvin & Lidster

I might suggest that they NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING. That works in their favor, not the customer's.

Exceptional! My experience with Garvin and Lidster was nothing less. I took in my truck for an alignment. Showing me my report, I chose to do a "full" alignment. Truck drives straight as an arrow. The techs were very informative and explained everything before performing any work. Pricing is extremely fair for the quality of work. I wish more shops were still like this as they take pride in their work and take the time to do it correctly. I do most of my own maintenance, but if I ever needed service, this is where I'm taking it.

Thank you Jason for the amazing 5 star review! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad the alignment made such a noticeable difference and that our team was able to walk you through everything clearly before getting started. Transparency and doing the job right the first time are things we take a lot of pride in. It means a lot to hear that, even as someone who does most of your own maintenance you’d trust us with your truck when needed. Thanks again for the support, and we’re here whenever you need us!

My husband used to always take care of the car maintenance and since he passed, Ive tried to carry on what he did. He always said if something happened to him to use Garvin & Lidster. I was happy with the courteous service & quality car care! Thank you!
