Meet Mike Gibbons, Owner & Operator

Often the first face you see when you bring your car in for service, Mike Gibbons is not just the owner—he's the first line of defense in protecting your automotive investment. Mike's father started the business in 1978, with Mike assuming ownership of our auto repair shop in 1998.

Several years ago, Mike saw the need for a complete auto repair service in Media and began the transition to a full-service shop. Mike changed the name of the business to Gibbons Automotive, banking on the trust generated by decades of dependable service and quality work that was his father's business passion.

Mike is fully immersed in the diagnostic process; he asks you the right questions to diagnose the problem and will often ride with you on a test drive to pinpoint the exact problems. Sometimes he can even identify the problem before we need to utilize our sophisticated diagnostic testing equipment. There is no better way to get to the heart of the problem than with human senses and know-how.

In addition to being a trusted name in the auto repair and maintenance business, Mike Gibbons is also a professional car broker. His expertise in car mechanics made him the perfect student when learning the dealership side of the car industry, with one exception. He is more concerned with helping his loyal customers find the right car at the best price, rather than turning a profit. With access to the nation's largest "Dealer Only" auctions, Mike is sure to deliver the perfect car at the perfect price. You don't have to just rely on his word. You can simply ask the numerous customers that he has worked with.
