That formula has not changed in 26 years for the staff of Gott’s Auto Service located at 5709 Maybee Road since 1980.
‘The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low prices and cheap service is forgotten.?
The certified mechanics of Gott’s Auto Service live by this mantra displayed in the office of owner Robert Gott, Sr. who practices what he preaches.
Customers can rest assured their experience at Gott’s Auto will be what you’d expect from a community auto service. They’ll receive reliable service, honest work and personnel attention from friendly mechanics when they bring their car in for service.
‘Personal service is very important to customers,? Gott said. ‘If there’s a problem, they can talk to me directly. That way customers can be confident the problem is diagnosed correctly and the job gets done right the first time.?

Besides overseeing his business, Gott has been involved with the community for the past 13 years as a member of the Clarkston Rotary Club. Gott takes great pride in participating with the organization.

Family owned and operated, the business includes Robert’s sons, Bob, Kevin, and daughter Lisa Morgan.
