Man where do I even start, I've gone to REA automotive for about 3 years now because they have had the best prices near me. Unfortunately on Thursday the 29th they disappointed me greatly. I came to do a 70k service with them, and get all 5 of my tires rotated. With the addition of checking my rear tail light and license plate light that went out driving through a puddle. I drop off at 8:30 Am and pick up 4:30 Same day, an all day service. They notify me that 1. They can't get my 5th tire off due to my bolts being seized or possible stripped, they recommended snapping them off and replacing the studs with new ones and of course I would eat the cost. 2. They told me they could not fix my rear tail lights because the "car was too new" and they don't have the wire digram for the car and I quote "we usually don't get them until after 4 years the car is produced." Here's the problem, I come home Spray some WD40 on the tire for 5 minutes and I take off the tire myself in less that 5 minutes. Okay no big deal. Mind you I am no mechanic at all. Out of shear curiosity, I google what could cause my rear tail lights to go out the No. 1 thing on Google to come up was to check the Fuse. I myself opened the the fuse panel and bought a $4 dollar part from O'Rileys and replaced the fuse with absolutely no tools at all and guess what. The rear lights worked! Obviously I'm frustrated, because I could have gone to Subaru and been charged their $200 an hour shop rate. I went to the shop today on Friday August 30th at 8:30Am letting them know I got the tire off and I asked if they could finish my tire rotation that I was charged for. Gentlemen said they were no lifts available at the moment, and couldn't give me a time for me to do it, you would think a 5 minute job with a returning customer that recommends their shop to everyone would have the slightest priority. Maybe I just had a long day at work and I might delte this but I'm sorry Ryan but this is one of those things that the trust has been completely broken between client and owner, I wouldn't be able to take my car their without thinking what you or your staff could not be doing just out of laziness. My girlfriend and I will be going elsewhere from now on. I appreciate all the other services you've been able to complete.

Detailed, honest, quality, fair, and efficient are a few words to describe my experience at R.E.A Auto & Tuning. I had my Jeep at the dealership and was close to approving the estimate. My husband suggested I get a second opinion. R.E.A was recommended to me by a friend. Thank goodness I listened! Brian reviewed a video sent to me by the dealership for my Jeep detailing their findings and recommendations. "We know these vehicles so well that I know you need a new evaporator," the dealership mechanic said. Brian at R.E.A told me they have to do a dye test to confirm a leak, yet the dealership never did this. Their mechanic went on a hunch, and from "knowing these vehicles so well." I picked up my Jeep and brought it to Brian at R.E.A. He did a thorough diagnostic and said there was no leak. Freon is all it needed! Brian saved me unnecessary work and a few thousand dollars. I will NEVER take my vehicles anywhere else but to R.E.A. THANK YOU, Brian and Blake for your customer service, honesty, and work.

This is absolutely the best auto repair shop I have ever had service & repairs in Florida. I knew I needed a variety of substantial services done but had been told a range of costs & needs from others I researched & found to be either untrue or overpriced & unnecessary.
Ryan the owner is Both fair & knowledgeable & his business delivers completely on every level. I HIGHLY recommend you come here & experience this quality yourself. I have had VERY different experiences with some of the other auto businesses in this area . Thankfully I found R.E.A ❤️

Today I picked up my car after a basic oil change and service. Ryan has kept my cars running in top shape for well over two decades.

I had the best experience at REA. Super friendly, honest, and transparent with the price. I came in on a whim, I was dropping off my friend to pick up her car, and figured I’d go in and ask for a quote on some work I needed done. Maddy the receptionist is so friendly and took all my info. Ryan is so nice… he called me back and quoted me $900 less than EuroTech for 3 services! He seemed really knowledgeable about my engine and problems they usually have. My car is running better than it has in years, which is a big relief. I’m so happy I found my new trusty car place, I’ll be back next time something breaks. Highly recommend, thanks REA!

Ryan is a really great mechanic and really truly honest mechanic rarely you could see those two in the same person. Ryan's fair about the prices he tells you what's wrong with your car and gives you a fair price to fix it and head of time. Free estimates. This guy is definitely worth bringing your car to.

I have been taking my Hummer H2 and my daughter's BMW 318i to Ryan at R.E.A. Automotive for years now, and I cannot say enough good things about both Ryan and his business R.E.A. Automotive. Ryan has every possible ASE Auto Mechanic Certification (there are currently 8 of them!) and it is evident from his vast knowledge of every potential problem or issue that may arise - and the best solution to every issue, especially as the vehicles get older. I found Ryan and R.E.A. years ago when some stereo work was done on my Hummer, accidentally resulting in the frying of my body control module. Unfortunately, since the manufacturer stopped making the Hummer H2 many years ago, it was impossible to find a new body control module anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. Although the stereo shop found a used module and replaced the destroyed module with the used one, the module they installed was useless in my Hummer because of years of performance work I had done, including installation of a supercharger and other performance enhancements. Without a properly functioning body control module, my Hummer essentially became a 6400 pound paper weight! After extensive searching for a solution or someone who knew what to do, Ryan and R.E.A. Automotive came to the rescue. Ryan knew how to reprogram the used body control module so that it was tuned properly for all of the performance enhancements on my Hummer, and I was back in business - to my great relief! Since that day, Ryan and his team have continued to take care of all of our vehicles with amazing skill, honesty, knowledge, fair pricing, and absolute professionalism. Finding a mechanic like Ryan is like finding a gold nugget in a dump-truck full of coal. I absolutely recommend Ryan and his entire team at R.E.A. Automotive without any reservations!
