“Best place ever! I've been with the same dealership for 17 years and moved out of state and was recommended by a friend about Christian Brothers Automotive. They are the most knowledgeable, friendly and honest people I have ever met in my life. They go above and beyond and I trust them 100 percent. 5 Stars are not enough. 100 stars are about right. Bobby was exceptional. I'll be a forever customer! I wouldn't go anywhere else and Christian based a bonus!”
“I found Barbic via the internet without any personal reference from someone who had had work done successfully. Trying to find someone to trust with the recommendation to rebuild or replace a transmission in a vehicle is not easy, and I was super happy to find Gary. Gary was very knowledgeable with our particular vehicle (2003 Toyota Tundra) and I believe he did a great job of pricing out the various options and explaining the value of doing the job in different way. Ultimately, Barbic did a full rebuild of our transmission with new parts, instead of putting in a used transmission and is backing it with a warranty. The work was not cheap but I believe in the product and Gary's shop to back up their work. The truck drives great and was worth rebuilding the value into.”
“Kaufman's staff are excellent techs. I am assured that Kaufman Repairs are completed in a honest and timely manner. All of my experiences have been great. Thanks for being trustworthy.”
“A friend recommended Steve's. They changed my spark plugs, brake fluid and flushed the brake line to each wheel. I also talked with him about A/C work I needed done and they can do that work much cheaper than Sunset Chevrolet/Buick. Good, detailed conversation about this work too!”
“I always look forward to visiting this place, especially when our car is having trouble. My dad knows the mechanic, and he’s incredibly kind. My dad knows him so he welcomes my dog into the office and gives her a bone every time we come in! If you need car repairs, I highly recommend this shop. The mechanic is not only friendly but also takes the time to explain what’s wrong with your vehicle, making the whole experience much easier.”
“Found an “honest and competent” auto repair shop. The staff at Neo Automotive are first rate. Gave me lots of information about my Mini-Cooper convertible. Highly recommend them!”
“Exceptional service! I had a check engine light come on my van and needed same day help before traveling back home. They were able to help me immediately and run a scan to check the issue. After running the scan, they consulted me on the situation and recommended I wait to do anything until I got home. I was in and out in 15 minutes and wasn’t charged for the service. I made it back home safely and am very appreciative of their help.”
“Needed my trans fluid checked after a hose developed a leak. Goofy ford requires a check and fill via trans pan. Called several shops and said next week. Could not risk driving on low fluid. Called Ralph's and Steve said bring it in anytime and they will check it. Pulled into the shop and Steve immediately put the truck on the lift. All good. No charge. What trans shop does that? Not many. Great customer focus and repair service. Thanks Steve!”
“Honest people! I took my truck to a quick oil change center and they informed me that I had a pinion seal leak. They showed me what looked like fluid around the under carriage . I made an appointment with Ashton Auto to change the seal. I dropped it off in morning and got a call soon after telling me there is no leak and the fluid looks like mud. They could have easily took advantage of the situation but they are good people!!! They earned my business for life!”
“Franco (the salesman) was wonderful to work with, and easy to get in contact with. Steve (owner & mechanic) is incredibly honest, and trustworthy. I 100% recommend them for automotive services, as well as buying a used car. I love mine!”
“To whom it may be of help. I have known Jim the owner of 'Jim's Auto' since 1984 and not only sent my own vehicles to Jim's but I ALWAYS have recomended Jim's shop to any women who are needing their vehicle repaired. I have been a mechanic for going on 50 years and have yet to find a shop owner as knowkedgable and honest as Jim (The owner) . I found these reviews as I was going to call Jim since I've moved to Nothern FL. and my back has debilitated me. I'm looking at a five hour trip to take one of my vehicles to JIm as I have not been able to find a local reputable shop since leaving Sarasota. That includes dealerships. The only other shop I use is Val's in Cheifland, FL for the same moral reasons. Why go to Jim's while Val's is hours closer ? Because the repair is not covered at Val's and Jim is better suited. I am an ASE medium heavy master certified truck tech, master transport bus tech, ASE cert auto tech, certified in man carrying equipment for FP&L plus derricks etc. Certified welder, also cert. in HP steam pipe, a universally certified A/C tech., including certification in commercial chiller units. So, what I mean is I can speak no higher of any mechanic I know still living . Jim has always been a top notch mechanic, person and the most honest buisness owner I have ever known . The FEW reveiws that reflected otherwise is why I felt it nessisary to write this reveiw . The 'people' who work for Jim I cannot speak for as I don't know them, let me add Jim tends to be out working on customer cars giving them the best personnal attention and service he can as that is just .....Jim. If you have an 'issue' talk to Jim and I can assure you you will not regret it. Sincerly, Vern”
“I wanted to share our experience. Our motorhome broke down and we called several places no one had any openings for months. We contacted Brian and explained our situation on getting back to Michigan as we were in a pinch. All I can say is they go above and beyond. From the start to the finish Brian kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend them. If you want quality work and customer service I highly recommend you give them a shot. Especially being family owned and operated. Stay local shop local!Thank you again,Adam”
“I was having problems with the Transmission on my 2019 Chevy Express Van with less than 50k miles on it. It would have been covered by the 5yr/50k mikes warranty, but I waited too long. I tried to get an appointment with the Chevy Dealer but they were not available for several months. Luckily I found a transmission shop that was able to diagnose the problem and repair it quickly. Highly recommend.”
“Had an unfortunate issue my car sucked in a lot of water and seized and wouldn’t crank or start and I just work that day and saw that Jim’s Auto Repair was down the road. Went over there a told them about my situation and without hesitation they sent one of there drivers there to pick my car up and take it to their shop. No appointments and they looked super busy but they took time from their day to help me out with my car and after an hour they had my car running in no time. I wanna say thanks to the entire team and Ryan a very cool and knowledgeable guy. Thank you Jim’s Auto Repair for making life a whole heck of a lot easy.”
“Excellent place for transmission work. Reasonable, honest and excellent mechanics. Very clean and friendly. Convenient location across the street from the Harley-Davidson dealership in Sarasota.”
“Very friendly and knowledgeable on all types of cars. Brought my crossfire in and they knew what the issue was in a short wait time. I will be using them from now on”
“Called them and they told me to come in and they fixed my rim while I waited. Excellent job at a very reasonable price!Service: General repairs & maintenance”
“Jesse and Chad are the dynamic duo! They explained things in laymen terms and advised me of things that needed to be repaired now and things that could wait. I felt they were honest and fairly priced and will use Integrity Transmission again.”
“Our vehicle ended up at the shop after some unexpected repairs were needed. From the day we first spoke with them until the time we picked our vehicle up they were wonderful to work with. They explained everything thoroughly and were very understanding of our situation. The work they performed was excellent as well, and came with a warranty. We would definitely recommend them, and use the shop again if needed.Service: Transmission”
“I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Chris. It is so hard to find honest, reliable people in Florida when it comes to having anything fixed. He is the best I have found in 6 years. I will be taking all of my vehicles to him from now on. In fact, I already made plans to take my mustang in for some work. I can’t say enough good things, he was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. All in all, Honest, Reliable and Fair Pricing. You can’t beat it. I will be telling everyone I know. Thank you again so much.”
“I am a customer of Elite Motor Works at their former Cattleman Road location. Happy to say the same quality work and service are present at the Renn Haus location. Congratulations on the recent expansion. Great company with great staff.”
“I had a great experience with Beiler's Auto Repair. They were recommended to me by a friend and raved about their promptness and excellent communication. I came to them for an oil change and suspension issue because my car was NOT performing well. After they ran their routine diagnostics, Mic called and informed me of the things I should fix and things I need to fix. For the amount of things wrong with my car, they were very reasonably priced and I got my car back within 24 hours. They even called a week later to check on the car to make sure everything was running properly. I will easily be returning back for any auto repairs/services and I've been recommending them to anyone that asks! Thank you for an amazing experience!”
“Rob & his team are honest and trustworthy! Rob doesn’t try and sell you any repair / maintenance you don’t need. I drive from Miami for service. Thanks Rob!!”
“I am a mechanically inclined individual. I usually work on my own stuff. Recently I’ve been too busy so I have had to find someone. These guys are honest, straightforward, trustworthy, and communicate clearly on prices and estimates. These might be the best mechanics in Sarasota.Services: Transmission”
“Visited in April while on vacation from Canada. My Volvo had been diagnosed with a noisy rear diff. Your mechanic said it was probably my rear brakes. I finally got around to replacing them. You guys saved me a bunch of money! Good call. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. Excellent service.”
“Zippy lube is the place to go for your oil change. been coming here since the 90s my family has been coming here since the 80s. Love this place definitely make this your oil change location. Love the crew love the owners. The greatest thing about it it’s family owned.”
“Great communication and fast service!
The staff is friendly and easy to talk to. I couldn’t be happier with the service. I’ve gone twice now and I appreciate how hard they work to get my car in and out as quick as they can.”
“Ian was very polite and kind. I had never been to a mechanic by myself before, and he explained the entire process in a very easy way to understand. I decided the cost of rebuilding my transmission would be too high, and Ian gave me wonderful advice based on my needs. I will definitely come here again if I need any help with future vehicles.”
“By far the best experience I’ve had with a transmission shop. I brought a manual transmission in. They told me that it wasn’t any good. So I went and got a different one. They tested it out and gave me a bunch of tips on how to install. Hands-down Best experience five stars.”
