One of our tires was leaking air and in my search to find a tire place with good reviews, I found Brian's Auto Repair shop. I called and spoke to Nancy, who answered all of my questions in a courteous and professional manner. They were able to fit me in right away, found the nail and repaired it. Very happy with their service - I would not hesitate to go there with something more serious! read more

They did a great job with our tuneup of our Honda. We will most likely use them again.

Good Computer Engine Analysis (CEA) to correct engine "stumble" at stops. Checked for potential undercarriage leak, no leak, but found driveshaft binding a bit and lubed it up. Thorough checks, issues addressed all in a timely professional manner. Price was commensurate with work performed. Great customer relations and service as always. read more

I made an appointment for timing chain and water pump replacement. The work won't start till July. I did get a very good vibe from speaking to Brian on the phone, so we'll see. He sounds very professional. read more

I'm on a personal bucket list trip where time matters very much. I bought an older, con version van for this trip and I wasn't out of the dealers ' drive for more than 30 seconds when I knew there was a serious issue with the motor. I called this shop after reading the reviews and have to tell you what a great place this is! They got me in the very next day after I called. They were extremely hospitable to me as I had to wait there for the van. Through out the process, which took 6 hrs, Frank (?)!kept coming up to me with info about how things were progressing with the repairs. He did not choose to make decisions about my car without talking with me and the final price was very close to his estimate. The van is working the best that it had since I bought it and I can't thank this company for their excellent customer service! Btw, his quote, for the very same repairs, was $4-500 CHEAPER than 2 other, garages in Sarasota! read more

Very professional high quality service. My car was previously diagnosed by the dealership with a very serious and expensive AC problem. I chose to go to Brian's for an estimate and assessment of the issue. It was my first time dealing with Brian's. They found the AC problem to actually be a much simpler and much less costly service. They are very honest. I will use them again for sure. read more

I took my car here after reading reviews. Certainly did NOT receive quality service. Was told two day repair for valve cover gasket for oil leak. 11 days later after returning the car failure to comply to contract and fix the leak, I picked up the car and am driving it 'as is'. While car was there the back tailgate was damaged and is cracked in two places. No communication on car or why it was taking so long. No communication when reported that the car is still leaking oil. DO NOT GO HERE !!! Not only is the leak not fixed but car is damaged in process of leaving it there. read more

I was looking for an auto shop to analyze a recently purchased vehicle. Bryan's auto repair showed up in the suggestions. Unfortunately, due to the hurricane, their power was out. So, I went to another service garage. When Brian's got their power back, Paul (manager) was quick to respond to my request. He was professional, caring and friendly. Even though I haven't done any business with them yet, I would def consider going to them in the future. read more

Took my car to them for an A/C compressor replacement based on the price quoted through Yelp. I worked mainly with Paul and he was very friendly and helpful. When I dropped my car off, Paul called a short while later and asked who told me I needed these parts replaced. It turns out the company that told my compressor was bad had not recharged my A/C as they said they did (and charged me for). Paul quoted me the price for the necessary repair which was more than $1000 less than I was prepared to pay. Even though the shop had ordered the necessary parts, they did not go ahead and change them out since it wasn't necessary. I found the integrity and honesty very refreshing. Even though it's a drive, Brian's Auto Repair will be handling the maintenance on our vehicles from now on. Great price, integrity, honesty, friendly staff, and supportive of our Veterans. No need to go anywhere else. read more

New to the area and Engine light is ON! I don't know of any mechanics in the area, found Paul at Brian's via this website. Paul asked some questions about the car when I called and told me to bring it in. They checked car, reset the issue, at NO CHARGE! Wow! that was wonderful! Thank you Paul, you've got a new customer and I'm telling all my friends! read more

When it came to deliver service at agreed upon appointment this Auto Shop didn't have the part in shop. In fact they hadn't even ordered it. The whole process and time spent to schedule and come for appointment was a waste of time. I will not consider again or recommend this business. The best is the rating that is better than one star. read more

Who wants to deal with a tire repair?! Urg...no fun! I was having to fill my tire with air everyday for the last few days and knew it was time to get it fixed. I called a number of places and when I called Brian's Auto Repair Paul was friendly and quoted with a plug/patch price right away and said to come on down to get it fixed. I found the place no problem and parked right out front. They took my car in after a few minutes. Paul came out to show me the 3 inch nail that was pulled out of the tire and let me know that they were able to do the plug. So thankful the tire did not need replacing. Paul was friendly and helpful. They were reasonably priced and made me feel confident in the repair. I highly recommend Brian's Auto Repair and know they are my go to place for future issues (fingers crossed I will not have any issues any time soon). :) read more

Extremely helpful. I took a long trip from TN to FL to see a sick family member. I was having a radiator problem. showed up with no appointment. They helped me within 45 minutes, test drove the car and was completed at a fair price. Highly recommend! read more

Last week while driving from Port Charlotte to St. Petersburg, I realized I was overdue for an oil change AND my check engine light came on. Although the check engine light has nothing to do with the oil needing a change, the combination of the two did give me some concern while on I-75. Instead of pushing my car to get closer to home, I pulled over to the shoulder and looked on yelp for oil change services. The closest one was Brian's Auto Repair ans was highly rated....with good reason. I called to confirm they could fit me in that day, and I was in and out in less than an hour. Fast service, great price, and although I hope to never be in that situation again, I will definitely go back if I ever need service in the Sarasota area. read more

Not sure why they have so many good reviews. Suggest you stay away. Charged me $100 just to look at the car. Then needed another $150 just to keep looking for the problem. I paid the $100 and walked away. Took it to another mechanic and they charged me $150 to replace the sensor and that is reasonable. read more

I recently had my truck towed to Brian's believing the engine had overheated and been damaged. The crew at Brian's ran the computer on it and determined it was a faulty censor. Instead of a repair bill of several thousand dollars it turned out to be a few hundred. Good, honest service at Brian's Auto Repair! read more

My 2016 Kia Sorento with 4 liter GDI engine was losing oil. I thought I was facing ditching the car or buying a new engine in a few months. Paul at Brian's suggested a decarbonization service. After 1,500 miles, my Kia is performing tops and losing no oil. Thank you experts at Brian's !!! read more

My New Garage. I bring my car here now instead of being Swindled by Ford. The price they quote you is what you will pay. They are a friendly bunch of Guys. My car was being serviced for a technical issue with my automatic window and they found other things that needed attention. They gave the list and how much each was gonna cost. No Surprises. Checking the off one by one. read more

I had a flat tire (run-flat tire, which is a complete oxymoron) and checked Yelp for good place (brand new to Sarasota). Brian's Auto Repair looked great. And, it was. Do not believe any negative reviews; this shop is incredible. I talked with Brian, who explained possible outcomes (all correct, based on my extensive run-flat experience) and said they could handle this. And they did. Car was towed in, and the tire/rim/beading issue was fixed in 48 hours -- at a very fair price. OUTSTANDING, and this is now my go-to auto repair place in Sarasota. You cannot do any better than this business. read more

Very happy with the customer service offered and the very caring people at The Original Egg to help help me pass the time waiting for my car repair. read more

This is the place to go if you have a classic that needs tlc Brian goes the extra mile. Have had her at other shops and she never came back right. She is running like a charm read more

Brian's Auto Repair - Just had the exhaust done sounds great - Auto Repair Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

If you have any car problems take it to Extreme Solutions. They are a full service establishment. I had serious brake problems and they fixed it in just over an hour. They are so friendly and so professional. The cost was unbelievably low. In comparison to other mechanics. I was so happy to have my brakes fixed that I cried! Thanks guys! April 1st. 2016. I am always going to them for oil changes and whatever else may pop up! read more

I had an expensive repair that did not fix a problem. I finally ended up at the dealer for a diagnosis and second repair job that did work. Brian's is not cheap....I know the dealer is always known to charge more than independent garages, but I think sometimes dealers are better at diagnosing their brand of vehicle and can make the repairs more efficiently. And they can be more professional to deal with if you have an issue. read more

I called and requested an estimate for an install of a valve cover gasket. I was quoted $103.40. When the job was done I was shocked to see my bill: it was for $103.40. There was no padding of the bill and no explanations such as "the job was more extensive than expected" or "it took longer because of the make of your car", etc. Brian is the owner/supervisor and is very friendly. Paul, the office guy, was fair. His quote for a battery with "estimated services" seemed a bit high, but I did not get price quotes from other shops. read more

The estimate was actually the final cost. Very trustworthy and they do great work. I'll be back.

Had a bad vibration in the car on a long trip to the Sarasota area. Described the problem to Paul, by phone, who said to bring the car by that afternoon. I arrived when we agreed and headed over to a nearby restaurant to get lunch while they worked on the car. An hour later received a call from Paul saying they believe the problem was fixed. Took the car for a test drive, and indeed the problem was resolved, promptly and at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend this garage for very professional work! read more

Great service, clear information = good for me! I want the best most up to date care for my car to be in compliance with manufacturer guidelines, got it! read more

Fast, courteous, cost effective and HONEST! This is our forever repair shop in Sarasota, we've been burned elsewhere (Sunset Jeep) and now we know that won't ever happen again! read more

We received nothing but incredible service from Brian's! I have an 18 year old Mazda that I took with me to college. I ran that car down and Brian's brought it back to life and it runs like new now. I'm now driving across the country and feel much safer knowing that Brian's thoroughly checked it over. I was able to drop the car off and pick it up at my leisure. Friendly staff that will treat you like family and get you what you need. I even had my mom take her car in once mine was done. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, but Brian's is the ultimate exception! read more

Quick and honest business. They worked on my truck right away when I needed help as I was driving through. And they are right next to a great cafe for breakfast while you wait! read more

Quality service! And great pricing. Brian works with you on getting the best deal. Everyone is really nice. Work was done fast and conveniently. Would recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic. read more

Replaced a battery on volt, good work! Was significantly more than quoted and took longer than expected but they had to reprogram the battery control module. They did not have experience on a volt so it was a learning process; felt some of the time diagnosing should have been absorbed in house as they can apply it to the next customer. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! They were all amazingly good people and very helpful in making sure I realized what was going on with my car and was willing to work with me on how I wanted things to be done with no questions asked. And even willing to stay AFTER HOURS just to try and fit my work schedules. Amazing. They are now my GO TO mechanic for all of my car needs read more
