After 6 months and several jobs done we are disillusioned with Bullet Automotive. We have had to…read moretake our vehicle back several times to have the "fix" fixed, charged $200 on a average more than originally agreed upon, picking up our vehicle just to have pieces dragging on the ground, a control arm and tie rod so poorly installed the shop we took it to after suffering an intense shimmy said "you should buy a lottery ticket, it's a miracle the wheel did not fall off!" The reason for two stars is we are somewhat complicit for continuing to go back. Beware of Bullets; I would steer clear, pun intended. You can trust me, this is our experience with them. ;D

It was time to do the PM replacement of the timing belt for my 20218 Honda Ridgeline. I obtained…read moreproposals from several local repair shops and the proposal from Bullets was among the most competitive. After selecting the 3 lowest proposals I visited each of those three shops to see their operation. Bullets Automotive has the feel of a small town business with big town capabilities. This is a family run business with two additional employees that I witnessed are treated like family. The owner, Bullet, feeds the employees a grilled or smoked lunch every day. He shows them that they are valued. That is important as happy employees tend to care more about their work and helping to grow the reputation of the business. Bullet's spouse handles the office very capably. While visiting the shop I witnessed her negotiating with a warranty company on behalf of another customer. It was easy to tell that she is knowledgeable and skilled at dealing with the warranty companies and the hoops through which they put customers and repair facilities. The job for my vehicle was scheduled for the following week and they accepted my vehicle on time. The maintenance was performed and completed within the promised amount of time and at the cost that was quoted. No Surprises. The total extent of the work was to replace the timing belt, water pump and pullies as well as replace the serpentine belt. Bullet saved the replaced parts and offered them for my review. The job was done well. Having moved to Florida from the north where I was connected and knew where to get the services I needed for anything there was a bit of angst associated with the process of finding a good, honest auto repair facility. I think that this is a trustworthy repair facility that does good work for a fair price. Bullets Automotive has earned my business and I will continue to use them.

I did! Not only did they explain what was the problem they did extensive diagnostics to make sure all the possible causes were addressed. I was able to leave my SUV overnight so the mechanic could get a better idea as to what I told him what was happening. The price was good and as a 1st time customer there is a coupon for 10% off! I will bring my vehicle back for anymore services needed. Also, I did have an oil change done it was needed and the dealer whom I bought it from didn't do it as they stated they did! Not only that if you need a ride they also offer that service too! Its worth the drive for me (I live by US 1 and they're located by I95.

At pick up we met Bobby the owner and had a great conversation with him. Having raced Porsche's for 12 years and used to do my own brakes and now due to multiple surgeries I'm physically unable to do my own work. In the past both of my jeeps have been serviced, strictly by the dealership in California and now my Jeep Cherokee is in Florida. Talked to Shane today about their brake in process and these guys know what they are doing. Will use them for my automotive needs on my Florida Vehicle. They also accept third party warranty reimbursements. Great team!

They've worked on two of our Porsches and my '66 Austin 'Big' Healey and I can tell you this, "They know cars!"

I feel fortunate to have been sent to Don's when I first arrived in Vero. I haven't 'wasted' my money on less qualified mechanics.

On 8/28/26, I received a reply stating, I needed both batteries need replacement. I found that strange, you replaced the right side on 2/9/24 or 2 years and 6 months ago. I replaced the left in 9/22. The manager refused to replace the one they installed, Then you stated the front control arm bushings were torn; these were replaced by you in 1/03/24 on a bill of $8,816.67 with 24,619 miles. I now have 27,236 miles on the car in 8/31/26. The manager would not stand behind his work and would not repair, stating that's normal wear? I check the estimated cost to replace a steering pump, and a Bentley dealer is around $2,500 your charge was $4,600. Needless to say, I will not be using Don's anymore as they don't stand behind their work and the inflate prices, and try to take advantage of me Waring Justis, Jr.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was bad enough to warrant one. What I…read moreencountered at Viking Automotive in Vero Beach was not just disappointing--it was dishonest and unprofessional. From the beginning, basic expectations weren't met. Communication was slow or nonexistent, and when I did get answers, they were dismissive rather than helpful. I took my 2007 BMW Z4 3.0i E85 in for a straightforward diagnostic: rough cold start, a tire sensor issue, and a few mechanical noises. I was told it would take a couple of hours, which I was more than willing to pay for--especially if it meant getting a thorough, accurate assessment by their only BMW Mechanic! Instead, after about an hour, I found my car already sitting back in the lot with no phone call it was ready or an update. I was then told that nothing had been done beyond checking the oil, and that the engine was essentially "breaking down" due to supposed metal shavings and large debris in the oil filter. No one showed me the filter at the time. No one explained the findings clearly. I never even spoke directly to the mechanic. The written report was filled with vague language, like "possibly this" and "possibly that," which is not a diagnosis--it's guesswork. Despite claiming photos were taken, none were provided so I had to call and request them. Once I received the photos, I see this in the Subject of the email: * INSPECTION RESULTS FOR YOUR 2007 BMW Z4 ROADSTER* "3.0si" I Told them my Bimmer was a 3.0i ... did I receive another 2007 BMW owners diagnostic report?! And it's THEIR oil filter and diagnostic I received?!?! Are they THAT Unorganized & Incompetent? What's worse is what came next. After spending days stressed, believing my engine was failing, I had the car inspected by an independent mechanic. He reviewed the same photos and immediately identified what Viking called "metal" as air bubbles. When he physically inspected the car, he confirmed there were zero metal shavings or plastic debris in the oil filter--just bubbles. He also explained why the filter had collapsed, which was supposed to have been changed by a previous mechanic in Fort Pierce (obviously didn't change the filter, did they even change the oil)? After a cold start, changed AND filter, put in an additive all of which has quieted the tapping to ticking (intrinsic of the N52 per BMW) and improving. He then took my car for a drive afterward and stated my Bimmer has a strong engine! So now I'm left with a simple conclusion: either the Viking BMW mechanic, Colton, lacks the basic competence to distinguish between metal debris and air bubbles, or they knowingly misrepresented the condition of my engine, plus exaggerated damage, or diagnosed another BMW and sent me photos of another owner's Oil Filter, or simply LIED! None of which is acceptable. Kathy refused to do any other diagnoses as requested, nor will she do any repairs, and couldn't explain in-depth the diagnoses I needed explained. (She's a mechanic too??). The only person that should be explaining the diagnoses is THE Mechanic him or herself and Show ME the Filter! If they didn't want to work on an older BMW, they should have said so. Instead, they chose to provide a rushed, incomplete, and ultimately misleading assessment that caused unnecessary stress, wasted my time and money. Time IS Money! I would have gladly paid for a full, proper diagnostic and on MY CAR, Not someone elses. Instead, I paid for an hour of speculation and left with a completely inaccurate conclusion about MY vehicle's condition. I cannot recommend Viking Automotive to anyone looking for honesty, reliability, or professional integrity. There are far better options out there that actually value their customers, appreciate drivers that love their vehicle, and not only Do the Work, but stand behind it!
