Do I have to maintain or have my car repaired at Gill Auto Group?

Of course, we prefer that you service your vehicle with us. We guarantee excellent service, record keeping, and ease of claims. That being said, and unlike similar-sounding warranties, you absolutely can do the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and warranty repairs at any shop you choose.
