Gamble's Auto Service in
Bessemer (AL)

Love these guys came down from Atlanta moved to Alabama in the right tire went out and went in there it was so sweet it was very nice it was patient I recommend these guys play took our spare tire put it on call me the next day tell me that the tire was ready to be picked up I recommend these guys I really do their sweethearts

Love these guys! They do a great job of keeping work on time and updating me on progress or hold-ups. Fantastically run family business! Donnie cares about each vehicle like it’s his own. Highly recommend!

I had to approach them to check the status of my failing battery. Their service was excellent, very kind to me. I recommend them 100%

These guys seem like family. I dont know any of them but every time I walk in they greet me well and go out of their way to help. If you need parts or help with truck, car, rv, or tractor get ahold of them.

Bought trailer tires. All 4 blew off the rims on my first trip. I put in exact proper air pressure before I pulled my trailer. Gambles mounted the tires. The inconvenience this caused as 4 different tires shredded off my trailer at different times during a 6 hour trip. Did I carry 4 spares? Nope! I was offered 50% refund. To me, I was ripped off 50%. Actually, I should of received a full refund and something more for the incredible inconvenience. Thanks for reading my post.

Called Gambles at the last minute to get an alignment for my wife's car that I had just finished putting new tires on. Got there and dropped the car off with Donnie and Lanaye. It only took a little over an hour to get the 4 wheel alignment done. It came with computer print out where each component was out of its parameters. It Then shows where the specialist made the changes and put the car back to factory specs. I highly recommend using Gamble's for your auto mechanic needs.

Outstanding service. They will keep you updated on service progression, very professional and to the point. Will let you know exactly what you need and what you don't to get your vehicle back in shape. They stay very busy so it will be wise to call ahead and either get an ideal or an appointment to bring your vehicle in for service. Clean and comfortable waiting room in addition to a large selection of car, truck, tools and other items for sale in their showroom. One year later had to go in and get some work done on the truck and once again outstanding service and great bunch of people to deal with.

Was having car troubles while on a roadtrip. I called and they told me i could stop in and they would check the car right there to make sure it was safe to keep driving. Very kind and professional. If they had had to do any work i know it would have been exceptional.

Gamble's has good, affordable service, with helpful & friendly staff. Also, they (unlike too many others) can handle vehicles such as handicapped-modified vans, that don't fit well on the common types of lifting racks. Recommended!

I thought I had a major issue with my car and was expecting a large bill. Being an older car, I just needed it to last one more year. They were able to look it over by the end of the day even though they were super busy. Turns out it was a loose wheel and they were able to locate a good quality used tire and get me out the door, spending much less than I expected. I appreciate their diligence and honesty. I will go here for any car troubles I have in the future!

Showed up to have a truck serviced. Parking lot is empty, only to be told that they are not taking anymore vehicles today. Gambles used to be a great place to take a vehicle for service, now I guess you have to show up at 8:00am and stand in line. FYI. I was here today at 8:45am.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR TRUCK/CAR HERE!! I took my vehicle in for alignment today at gambles and at first they seemed like they knew what they were doing and talking about, you know trust worthy people. Later when I came to pick up my car, the key was magically stuck in the ignition(this has never happened before), wheel wasn’t straight, camber was off and the only thing they did was mess with the tow. After I got home I inspected my vehicle because I was skeptical of the service I had just got after driving and I went down and looked at my tie rods and both ends of the locking bolts were not even hand tight. Both sides were loose not just one. Nothing was aligned the way it should’ve been. Terrible family company and will never go back again. If you can’t do an alignment properly I can’t imagine what y’all do over the big things... lost another customer because of bad work. I would do 0/5 stars if I could.

Gamble's Auto took geat care of my Toyota Solara. I provided my own parts and they installed them correctly and very quick. My car is now riding Lexus smooth which says a lot about their quality of work. The staff was extremely friendly and very approachable. The waiting room has a tv with a remote and very comfortable seating. There is also a clean bathroom nearby. There is also automotive products, items you find in Autozone, for sale inside of the building which is highly convenient. I highly recommend!

Good customer service but bad quality job. They incorrectly diagnosed a mechanical sound as coming from my brake pads and rotors when both were perfectly fine. They also left a tool under my hood.

I used Gamble's Auto Service for almost 30 years, prior to moving to Atlanta. They always provided honest and fairly-priced service. I had no concerns or complaints about their services in all those years. I just wish they had a shop north of Atlanta...

Truck broke down I20 heading home from Atl.. They offered towing service and repaired my truck the same day. Very friendly .well mannered. Even offered my children and I the waiting area with tv and restroom.. U know lil ones always have to go... Great place. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of mechanic.

If you have to exchange propane tanks on a regular basis, these guys fill them for $22.00, and make sure that they are full and weigh them. They are worth the extra two bucks just to avoid having to return an empty tank that you have a good chance of getting sold from some of these stores. I have literally had to return 3 tanks in one day to get one with gas actually in it. These guys make sure that they are full.

Brought my truck in for a pre-sale inspection. Truck was driving perfectly the entire day until it was at Gambles. The mechanic removed the brake booster hose and plugged it causing all of the brakes to lock up. He also unscrewed the transmission pan and didn’t screw it back tightly to make it look like there was an oil leak. Received a list with everything that needed to be fixed and the booster and trans pan gasket were both on that list. Brought it to a mechanic who put the hose back on, tightened the screws, and now the truck is running perfectly.

Gambles are good and honest people if you don't need something they're not going to sell it to you. The company I work for as used gambles for many years no complaints here. #goodpeople #honestpeople

I'm so happy I chose Gamble's.I knew within minutes of walking out the door it was the right choice. Being new to the area I needed service on my car at a reasonable price. Gamble's service team was impressive even though they were shorthanded. Gamble's team went above and beyond to assist me and I felt like the price was reasonable and well worth the price if they asked for a cent more. My car has never driven better.Stay tuned for more details as I continue to test drive my car over the next few weeks.

Excellent and trustworthy. They are a family run business with very knowledgeable mechanics. I have trusted them for years with all of my cars and before I buy a used car I always take it to them to be checked out.

As of 11/11/2015: I have an appointment with Gamble for tomorrow. Stay tuned for my comment because I am going to comment only with the facts and nothing but the facts. So far they are in the "Okay" level but the stars may increase/decrease depending on my experience with them.

Car repair is often unexpected but it is very refreshing to find a repair shop that operates with the expertise and integrity that Gambles does. I would most definitely recommend them for your automotive service needs. Awesome Service, their pricing is competitive and fair.

I have used Gambles exclusively for all the vehicles in our household for years now. I can call on them anytime and get prompt, excellent service for a decent price. The folks at Gambles are wonderful and I recommend them frequently to friends & family.

I had the a/c clutch repaired on my Honda Odyssey which they did a decent job. However, a couple days after the repair the left side vents started blowing warm air and right side blew cold air. Brought back in for them to honor their 30 labor warranty and 90 part warranty and they declined saying it was a different issue. This though was never an issue prior to the original repair. You can't tell me that while working on the clutch repair that they didn't affect the a/c line to left side vents. They wouldn't listen to me and charged me another $100 for the repair to the valve line. I will never go back to them again! I was disappointed in their lack of integrity to stand behind their warranty. If they would have treated this customer fairly they would have had a customer for life.

Their repair & maintenance shop is clean and well organized. I also found they do good work and stand behind it. We trust them to fix-repair only those items that truly need it and their prices are reasonable.Good folks.

Over $200 Cheaper than Firestone! Same Parts. Same Labor. Same Service. Had to replace a water pump on my 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Needed a good price Found it here! Thanks Guys!
