I’ve never had a more pleasant experience than the one given at Otto Gave them a call fairly late in the week, just a few days before a 7,000 mile road trip. Even though they were completely booked, Gary still said they could squeeze me in during the morning to help me out I was able to fix my issue prior to the appointment time, but it was still amazing to have that experienced. I will return to Otto with any future issues

Gary and his staff are great and very knowledgeable. This is where I take my 69 Corvette but they can handle anything.

Very knowledgeable and honest shop. If you drive an older vehicle, I highly recommend them!

When a close friend recommended Gary, I thought....well its probably just another shop. Boy, I was wrong. Gary and his team were informing, sending pictures of progress the whole time. Thats a plus for me, instead of the "before and after". He goes into depth as well as educating you on what exactly he is doing to help get your ride back on the road. He will have my business for a long time.

Did Valve Stem Seal's on my car cheaper than I thought it would be and when it was idling rough when I first got the car back he offered to do a free diagnostic to find the problem I show up to find out that one of the tech's unhooked the battery and it was just relearning the computer. No problems with staff as they were real nice and professional

My car was constantly running horrible, ever since i got the car last year. The car was blowing clouds of white smoke and was only running on 3 cylinders. Took it to Gary here at Otto Performance and he took care of me. Everybody there knows what theyre doing and got me right back on the road! my car has never ran so good! Its like a whole different car, couldn’t thank them enough!

Gary did a lot of work on my older Corvette that nobody else in town would. Quickly diagnosed a problem that other shops couldn't, and kept me informed during the repairs. I'm happy with the work done at Otto.

Good shop to get your car fixed

I have been using Gary Otto of Otto Performance for over 9 years and he takes care of my Toyota Tacoma and he has worked on brakes, transmission, exhaust, tires, tune-ups and everything in between. Great team and exceptional work.

I was out of town and my wife said she was having problems with the brakes on her van. I called Gary and he got her that day. After he fixed the problem, the brakes worked better than when I bought the vehicle.

Gary Otto, the proprietor, and his team of mechanics have a wealth of expertise in stock and highly modified engines, powertrains and chassis maintenance and design, from daily drivers to exotic sports cars. Mr. Otto did an impressive job fabricating and installing a 'show quality' custom stainless steel exhaust system for a '69 Mustang. The result was remarkable! It is refreshing in this day of quick fixes and cutting corners, to find a true craftsman who shows attention to detail, high quality fabrication and installation, excellent communication skills and documentation of job progress via photographs and comments, timely work completion, at a fair cost to the consumer.

Gary has worked on 4 of my cars over the last 10 years. Gary does high quality work at an affordable price.

Had my car fixed by them the next day after I brought it in. They did an amazing job at a very good price. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs repairs

If you know Gary, you know that he runs his shop with a people-first mentality. He's knowledgable, generous, honest, and kind. He goes above and beyond to serve his customers in a timely fashion, and to do so while delivering the most cost-effective, high-quality work. He strikes a good balance of diagnosing problems, sharing what work must be done, and using parts that last. I left with a hug and kept thinking, "You know you've found a good mechanic when you're worried about being under-charged." I saw how hard Gary works, and wanted to be sure he and his team were being compensated well for the amazing work they do. I met Gary when I found myself struck on the side of the freeway traveling through Lincoln, Nebraska, 21 hours into my trip from Arizona to Minnesota. Though late in the day, Gary was quick to say they'd be able to look at my vehicle. That night, he generously offered me a ride to my hotel and picked me up the next morning. When my vehicle continued to have problems, he was quick to rescue me off the freeway yet again, and continued to diagnose the cascade of issues it was having due a faulty alternator. I remained in Lincoln for 5 days as we waited on parts and discovered new issues. On my drive home, Gary called twice to make sure that the vehicle was running well and I was safely on my way home to Minnesota. During my time in Lincoln, I was able to see Gary's love of cars and problem solving, though what was most obvious was his care and compassion for those who came into his shop. When they couldn't deliver a part until the next day, Gary went to get it. When we discovered that we needed a second key to program my new PCM, he jumped in the car and off we went. When a customer needed to drop off their rental, he offered to follow them and pick them up, ensuring that she didn't have to figure out another plan to get her vehicle back. When a customer needed their car on Monday, he came in at the crack of dawn on Sunday to get it done. He showed the same care and compassion for each person and each vehicle, from the many restored vintage cars that fill his shop, to the hotrods with more power than I can comprehend, to the 11 year old trucks like my own. I think the hardest part about meeting Gary is that I have a new standard for finding a mechanic close to home. Had I ended up at a different mechanic, I can only imagine how stressful those 5 days of extensive car repairs would have been. Instead I can truly say that my time in Lincoln, Nebraska was a blessing. A big thank you to Gary and Adam for the many hours of work they put into my vehicle, especially while still taking care of the other vehicles that had scheduled repairs. And thank you to their families, as I know that helping me out led to some later nights and longer weekends at the shop. Words cannot accurately sum up my gratitude, so I'll just keep repeating myself: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gary is a great, honest guy! Fixed my Murano the same day I took it in. They did an excellent job in fixing my wheel bearings. Will definitely be back and recommend him to others.
Feb 07, 2018
Took my car in, they didnt even bother changing all my spark plugs. Went to another shop telling me only 4 were changed. Other reviews must be afmily friends stay weary. Anywhere but here.
Feb 07, 2018
I was happy when seeing my car running good again but really let me down once i got quotes from other places. Wont be fooled again.

Gary and Shelby work on my 07 turbocharged honda civic si. They fixed my oil leak problem from the oil pan. Gary seems very knowledgeable and Shelby tighten up all my bolts from my prl turbo kit.

Great experience, will be recommending to friends & family! I got a quote from another place in town for some extensive work on my car. Gary explained the process & couldn't understand how they were charging so much. Needless to say I appreciated his honesty & integrity, thank you Gary!

I had my timing belt and water pump changed with Gary a few months ago on my 1999 Ford Contour and he did a hell of a job for a 1/3 of the price that Ford wanted! He's worked on cars all over the world - including Greece where I was staying at the same time he was in the air force there! My only complaint is that I can't hear the engine running anymore - it's too quiet! Thanks Gary!

I took my Monte Carlo in for a diagnosis on my alignment. They found the heart of the problem, explained the causes, and put the best solutions in front of me. They didn't overcharge me and my car has never run so smooth in the entire time I've owned it. If you can get an appointment with them, do it!
