GM Specialities once again did an excellent service. KC answered all our questions and gave us updates on future car repairs that we may need.
-Tina Hollar
KC continues to do a good job of maintaining my 2k Camaro in a high performance state. His approach of maintaining a 'watch list' and tracking various components of the vehicle remind me of a highly disciplined medical professional. There is no other company I would trust with my family's cars.
-Kevin Crow
Extremely satisfied!

Quick in and quick out for emission fix. Rates still less than dealer's. I'll be back.

This shop is the best around! KC knows his stuff! I have and will continue recommending GM Specialities.

-Matt Bauer
I have been using GM Specialties for over ten years and have been very pleased with the work they do. They are honest and really care that your vehicle is in good working condition. I purchased my car in 1996 and these guys have kept it in good working condition. Give them a try, you won't be sorry.
-Dorothy Defenbaugh
These guys are the best place to have your automobile repaired anywhere. They are always very honest and do excellent work which they stand by a 100%. Have been coming here for almost 10 years. Would not even consider going elsewhere and neither should you.

As usual, the work was done correctly and everything works fine. I see no reason to go anywhere else.
-Betty Peterson-Stroot
GM Specialties not only keeps your car running great but preventative maintenance staves off those horrifically expensive repair bills.
-Steve Mandell
Once again the guys came through for me in a pinch. Had a small emergency for a new battery, dead batteries suck. Called KC and he fit me late in the afternoon. Took care of my car and had me back on the streets in no time. That's what's great about GM Specialties, unmatched customer service. That's why they have my business and dealers don't. Thanks again guys.

The alternator went out on my vehicle while I was driving. I called K C and informed him of my problem. He ordered a new alternator, I called a tow truck, and was hauled to his shop. The alternator arrived, they installed it, and I was on my way within an hour. Awesome service. Love this shop.
-Don Dyer
Also good quality service with quality replacement parts. A pleasure to do business with!

It's great to have a "go to" auto service center I completely trust to tell me the truth, help me understand my vehicles better, and do quality work.

A friend recommended GM Specialties and I wasn't disappointed. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful, going the extra mile to make sure I was happy. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust if you don't know them; GM Specialties has earned my trust and they have my business going forward.
-Dan Mass
Good job on the new radiator installation. No leaks and is running fine.
-Richard Davis
I have always had a good experience with GM Specialties. They are very knowledgeable about my truck and even if I bring it in for a certain mechanical problem they make sure all safety items are in good working order before it leaves their shop. They are very professional.

-Betty Peterson-Stroot
I've been bringing my vehicles to GM Specialties for years. Very professional and courteous. I just had all 4 shocks replaced on my pre-owned 2008 Toyota 4 Runner, and it seems like I have a brand new vehicle. I would recommend this shop to anyone.
-Kevin Jung
For our family the proof of GM Specialties great service is the reliability of our vehicles in all sorts of conditions. They've been great at identifying and addressing issues before they impact us. Additionally they are very good at showing and explaining their work.
-Kevin Crow
I highly recommend GM Specialties for its honestly, fair prices and genuine care about you and your vehicle. K.C is amazing! (They work on more than GM cars!) I came here by a friends referral and after bringing my sons new car in to get some important issues fixed, I too have sent others to this shop. This place is worth a commute. Thank you K.C. and crew for helping me to send my son out each day in a car that I now know is very safe and reliable. :9) I will never bring my cars anywhere else.
-Ed Chiara
K.C and the crew at GM Specialties are the best. I recommend them to all my friends and family. Unlike other mechanics I trust them with my car.
-Tina Hollar
Excellent service with a great attitude and knowledge of possible problems that might occur in the future ...
-Robert Cook
I'm a first time customer to GM Specialties. The shop was immaculate and I thought Bob and KC were very honest and helpful. I will definitely be bringing my other truck to the shop for work that I have been having the dealer preform. Great shop! I highly recommend them.
-Mike Blair
GM Specialties is honest and knowledgeable about all vehicles including dodge trucks. The shop always appears clean and organized and they always recommends the best replacement parts for your vehicle, but you still have a choice.
-Bryan Madsen
These guys are great. Their honest, fast, and know what they are talking about. A friend of mine recommended them to me and because of the exceptional way they treated me the first time I took my truck in, they now have a customer for life.
-Dan Mass
So glad I found Bob and KC. Dealership said they wanted $840 to fix my A/C on my 2001 Park Avenue. Bob fixed me up for $126 out the door. Cold as a new car now. 2001 Truck has leaking line for A/C. Dealership wants $715, Bob said he could fix for $300. Now dealership is offering to do everything for $300. Good to find honest people like Bob and KC.
-Joe Everett
Always outstanding service!!

Amazing service! I make an effort to frequent Roseville Area Chamber members and was glad to see GM Specialties is a proud member.
-Katie Delyon
These guys are 100% better and more reliable than the dealerships in this area. They often do the work "under" the original quote. I'll stay with them as long as I live in this area. Had I known about them I would have saved at least $3-$5K in 2016 alone on my two 2001 clunkers, a Dodge Dakota and a Buick Park Avenue. Thanks again to Robert and staff.
-Joe Everett
Very happy with the service I received. Andrew did a great job!

-Kara Dyer
We have been using GM Specialties for years. The dealership could never find an issue we had years ago. I only had to bring it to Bob and KC once. Problem fixed. We recommend GM Specialties every chance we get. They will always be our mechanics. Honest and reasonable.
-Weldon Curran
KC and Bob are the BEST! I have been going to them for almost 17 years and would not think of going anywhere else. They are always there for me when I need them and get me right in. I respect them for not doing unnessary work if it doesn't it and they will tell you. I have sent many people to GM Specialties and everyone has been happy. They now have their friends and familiy going to them. Lose the dealerships and go for one on one service with out the dealership markup.
-Connie Hooten
We love this shop and have used them for years, so we never took our Toyota to the dealer for service. This shop is honest and reasonable. We recommend this shop every chance we get.

If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust, GM Specialties is it. K.C. is not some con artist looking to make a few extra bucks at your expense. He's honest and trustworthy, and goes the extra mile to make sure it gets done right, and at the right price. I refuse to take my car to any mechanic for things I can fix myself. But if there's something big I can't fix myself, I refuse to take my cars anywhere but here.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
