Our story
An Honest Shop Is Hard to Find. You Just Found It.
At Gateway Automotive, we believe a repair shop should earn your trust before it earns your business. That's why customers tell us the same thing again and again: we're upfront about everything. We diagnose the real problem, explain it in plain English, and quote a fair price, no pressure, no surprises.
Our shop on N 9th Street serves drivers across Modesto, from daily commuters to work trucks. Frank and the crew hold high standards for service, knowledge, and hard work, and it shows in the results: customers who moved towns away still drive back to us, and many send their friends here for second opinions that turn out more accurate and more affordable.
Bring us your car, your questions, or your doubts about another shop's quote. We'll take care of you the same way we've taken care of Modesto for years.
- Honest, pressure-free diagnostics and repairs
- Fair, transparent pricing
- Fast turnaround: many repairs done same day
- Trusted for second opinions by drivers across Modesto
