I had to use their services when I blew out a tyre commuting to work on 99 one morning. Precise and accurate information they provide for you. I especially like how the one guy saw a major major problem with the breaking in the tyre I blew out that the auto dealership, which I got the car from, didn’t even notice . And the car issue could have turned into something much worse. Excellent service

Asked for only oil change, picked up the car and they added about $70 for labor when i only asked for oil change

The only mechanics that I know that can make my old Porsche 911SC run properly!

Great folks. Great shop. HIGHLY recommend. My Audi is approaching 350K, and its all due to these folks. Really worth giving them a try.Bonus, often there is a friendly doggie or two to welcome you.

TL;DR: Got foreign car? Go to this place if it’s need a repair.I got great experience at Gemini. My old bmw x5 suddenly won’t start up and shaking while turning. I was went to dealership month ago they told everything are alright. Then I go to Gemini try my luck. Apparently, I made a right choice. I got there with no appointment but John arranged to help me out even they’re pretty busy at that time. They found out what’s going on and fix it quick. Compare to dealership couple thousand bucks charges and did nothing. Gemini is much better and more professional. This place really want to help you not just want grab cash from you.Definitely gonna recommend to my friend.

I own a Volvo and am based near the State College area, and I can tell you - if you are looking for a trustworthy, quality car mechanic, this is your place! I came here when my car was having troubles with the oil tank - John pretty much immediately knew exactly what was up, made the necessary repair in great time, and now my car runs like new.I was especially happy, because here, I was charged about $400 less for parts than another mechanic in the area told me this would cost. Ill thank Johns expertise for this, and would be happy to provide more details to anyone whos curious!Another thing is that at every stage, John took the time to teach me about what was going on with my car, explaining to me in great detail what the problems were, what he would be doing, and what I would need to do going forward. I seriously, sincerely appreciated this, as I am a new car owner and it feels great to know that I can take a little bit better care of my car now.Again, this is a great place to take your car if you have any troubles at all!

John and the team provide excellent service and are incredibly knowledgeable. They make honest recommendations about the service/repairs and the quality of their work is outstanding. I highly recommend them.

John is the most trustworthy shop owner that I have ever encountered. Probably the best auto shop I have been to in my 61 years!I trust his diagnoses and recommendations implicitly.

The guy is not a people person. Asked about doing a clutch install. Was bringing the clutch to him. Got a nasty email reply saying he wouldnt work on it if I brought my own part. Understandable. In most cases people bring the wrong part. I emailed back assuring him I had the right part and explained I knew what I was doing as I had replaced the clutch on another 135i and just didnt want to do it again. He didnt care at all and said he wouldnt work on it, very rudely I might add.My mother took her Volkswagen there and he talked to her like she had no idea what she was talking about. Her husband called to clear things up. They both said it seemed that he was talking down to my mother because she was a woman.The only reason people go here and rate it highly is because this is the only shop in State College, other than dealerships, that can properly fix European cars. Well, other than Centre Auto but thats all the way out in Centre Hall.

John and Rita are the best when it comes to knowledge of many vehicle brands and customer service! When you want peace of mind that you are getting the job done right, they are spot on. If you are shopping for the lowest price remember...you get what you pay for!Thanks John and Rita for a great experience Everytime!

Honest, reliable, inexpensive and highly recommend. I was quoted for a major engine repair at the Audi dealer in State College. Before spending a large sum of money, I decided to get a few more quotes before I made the repair. I was recommend to Gemini from the Ford Dealership and I am very thankful of this. Gemini quoted me about $1000 less than the original quote and then delivered the repair faster then expected and less then their original quoted price. When it was all said and done, Gemini saved me over $1300 and the repairs have been successful. I would highly recommend this professional auto service center.

The best place to take your Mercedes. Other shops couldnt even identify the problem and asked ridiculous price. Gemini identified the issue and fixed other issues as well at a much lower rate. If you drive a Mercedes at State College, dont go anywhere else. Grateful to John for such quality service.

Quality work & honest, long term care for your cars!

I had a fantastic experience when my daughter, a PSU student, needed to get her Mini worked on. The folks at Gemini were super helpful, always available by phone and super fast. They did a great job and the price was right! I highly recommend them!

Honest and reliable. Repaired my diesel when other mehanics told me it was a lost cause. Its almost 20 yrs old and it now runs like new. Ill be taking my vehicles there from this point forward. High quality work! I found the guy to be very knowledgeable. He was busy, perhaps impatient? But I wasnt paying for conversation, I wanted an expert and I believe thats exactly what he is. As far as someone bringing their own parts? Why not grab a loaf of bread and a couple eggs, take it to nearest diner and ask them to cook it up for you? Edit took vw back for rear bearing replacement. Once again, happy with service and price. I dropped my work van off, not expecting much because I told them I didnt want to sink money into it. They got it running smoother than it had in years. Very happy with this place and grateful that they are willing to share information and opinions regarding a car I was looking at buying from a dealer.....their advice made sense and saved me several thousand dollars.

You want pleasant conversation? Talk to a priest. You want your car maintained/repaired by skilled mechanics? Bring it to Gemini. Theres a reason why it takes awhile to get your car in, and why it costs more than other places; because there are many other people who are regular customers and want great care for their car.

The guy is an absolute thief...says a lot about knowing cars but would rip you off of your wallet for baby sitting your car at his garage. He once charged 200 bucks for cleaning my brakes and doing nothing with it. Anyway Id rather you take your car to some trustworthy guy.

I could not get any service from this guy because he is a very aggressive and rude. I went there wanted to get my car checked. It is second hand so I didnt have the service papers. He also gave me a very interesting life lesson about how I should treat my car. I mean I thought about it optimistically and listen to him but then he started to tell how many totaled Audis he has on garage, how small town cops dont have anything to do and they will harass me or stuff like that. I cannot see anyhow business can survive without simple manners. It is not like I would care but I would never want my friends, girlfriend or mom to go there and hear bunch of crap from a very moody guy.On the other hand cabs around the city told me that he is a pretty good as a mechanic. So if you are a man unlike me and treat your car like it is your wife, keep every service paper and have more money than usual, go there. Have a man talk with him about cars. If you are a regular guy like me who uses his car from point a to point b, you will regret.

First experience with car repairs in state college. I have kids down there in college. I took a chance not knowing anything about anyone down there and had my wife call Gemini. He was courteous and knowledgeable. Hes familiar with Saabs and if you are then that says a lot. John got the job done quickly. He was courteous and professional. Took the time to talk. I would say if you just let him do his job then hell do a good one. I know cars but had to depend on a stranger due to distance and time constraints. I highly recommend this shop especially for Euro cars because of the competence, professionalism, and integrity I experienced. It was refreshing to deal with this garage, receptionist was also very professional.Second experience with John at Gemini Auto. My son went back to PSU before we had a chance to repair an exhaust leak. I called John first and explained the details to him. Then my son contacted him for an appointment. He was VERY accommodating. After the job was done I called to thank him. He gave me helpful advice based on his experience which he didnt have to do. Told me what problems this particular model was having and how to avert/prepare for the possibility.I disagree with the opinion that John is rude based on my experience. I actually think he has a pretty big heart... I know for a FACT that he is highly competent, runs a good business with very fair prices, and doesnt waste much time on nonsense.

Very very very rude. would never take my car here. ask for an estimate over the phone and just gave me talk and never helped.

Super guys (and gal) run this place. Top shelf on German and other cars. Dont hesitate.

I had a ML-320 that starting acting up while I was on vacation in State College--it was stuck in second gear. The local dealership gave me a quote of $2,422.90 to replace the electrical plate and some solenoids. I took it to Gemini and John replaced the plate for just over $800 and the car has been driving fine ever since. Highly recommended.

Best auto repair in Centre County! If you want your vehicle fixed right the first time, bring it here.

Really great service, reliable, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. My family has been taking cars here for years and they do outstanding work.

I’m not sure if these people are just rude, racist, or dislike women but they were so nasty to my girlfriend; telling her that they wasted their time checking to see what’s wrong with her car. Last time I checked it’s your job? I will not be recommending this place to absolutely anyone, and I will be taking my business elsewhere. If there would of been something seriously wrong with her car, and she got hurt, we would’ve had issues. 0 STARS. I take quality to customers over quality repair.

Brought my Infiniti FX35 here with electrical problems stemming from faulty factory radio. Johns expertise led to a very cost effective solution to my problem. The car is fixed, and in the process- I got to meet another drag racer. I will be bringing Gemini more work, and would recommend their shop to anyone needing repairs in the State College area without reservation.

This guy is an idiot. His car knowledge, especially when it comes to aftermarket parts is laughable. He basically tries to impose his taste onto the customer and if what you want doesnt coincide with his opinion he will just harass you. Hes an ignorant, rude and lacks any type of customer service ability. I bought a FACTORY OEM short shift kit for my Porsche and he tried to tell me it was junk and wasnt even a short shifter. After advising me against it about 37 times he finally reluctantly installed it. Suprise....he was wrong and it improved shift feel immensely. He is a clown. Also they dont even call you when you car is finished and what your end bill will be is a total mystery. I sincerely do not know how this guy has any business. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

Gemini is a great place to have your vehicle serviced. John is always trying to find the most economical way to fix your car and make it last as long as possible.

Resurrected my 2001 VW TDI, when no one else could. Id been told by lesser mechanics it couldnt be repaired. It now runs like new! Staff is great! I took one of my grandkids with me and they were delighted to meet Geminis mascot, Wally. A big friendly dog who played fetch and kept grandchild entertained.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to give zero stars b/c that is what this business deserves. The guy tried to charge more than the dealer to fix our car (and our dealer was not cheap). Turns out he was also wrong about the parts it needed. Then he yelled at us when we said no thanks. The guy is a classic narcissist. If you value your money, or you happen not to like rude idiots, you should take your business elsewhere.

If youre looking for somebody to butter you up when you talk to them, John isnt the guy to do it. If youre looking for somebody to give you helpful advice about your car, Johns your guy. Id be dealing with an issue with my 99 Wrangler for a year and half and had spent hours of my time and hundreds of dollars trying to figure it out. My mechanic (Paul Peakes at Peakes Auto - highly recommended) recommended that I give Gemini a call. When I got in touch with John and explained to him what my problems were, he told me to get outside in the nice weather over the weekend and go back to the basics instead of expecting it to be a complicated and expensive solution. Lo and behold on Saturday morning I solved the problem myself thanks to Johns advice. I just called him now to say thank you and he was very polite. Quit being so concerned with how rude he is - he knows cars and can help you if youre having problems with your vehicle.

If it’s a classic or foreign car, they can fix it. Also Mercedes Benz certified.

Great mechanics, very nice and knowledgeable.great care for your car and you as a customer

Out standing customer service. Very passionate about offering the best and most affordable services.

Great service, quality work!

They know how to fix my Mini Cooper S when no one else in the region can, and theyre a pleasure doing business.

VERY rude with absolutely horrible customer service. Look around at the rest of these reviews and you will get the picture. Would not recommend. They wanted my truck for 4 days to do a carb adjustment. Ridiculous

Very honest, high quality work at a good price.

Quality work at a fair price

Quality!!!
