    This repair shop does not follow the State of Florida Statues in regard to fair business practice as well as fair and ethical treatment of their customers. My car was there for a repair for 3 months waiting for a part. The excuse was we just moved to new location having a hard time getting set up "per the owner Ruben "Please patient I will get it done for you) I was charged almost $2700 dollars for a repair that was not done, it was there so long the battery died and had to be replaced. I asked them to bring the car to my house as a hurricane was approaching and I was out of town. Central Auto left it in my driveway with the windows down and a dead battery (charged to replace) The car filled up with mold and now not only did I have to pay $1800 dollars to get the mold out I had to pay a auto repair shop to fix everything that Central Auto did not do but charged me for. I reviewed the auto repair laws of the State of Florida and Central Auto is not in compliance with many of them I have requested a full refund from Central Auto and they refuse to compensate me

    I finally found a auto place that I can trust. No up charging and "finding things". I have taken three cars there now.

    After looking at Google reviews we chose Happy Wallet to handle a coolant leak on Audi Quattro…read morewhich had the possibility of being a expensive fix and were very impressed not just by the end price despite car having to stay overnight but by the honesty and professionalism of this place. I dealt with Jay who kept me informed all the way on what was required to locate the problem and whose customer service skills are second to none and as a former manager of over forty staff I can easily testify to that. For honesty, professionalism and a fair price for great work then give this team a go.

    Save your time and money. Let me preface this by saying the…read morestaff was always very nice and professional. Unfortunately, my experience with the actual service was the complete opposite. After multiple visits and over $2,000 spent on A/C recharges, labor, and repairs, including a condenser leak they eventually found and repaired, I finally thought the problem was fixed. About a month later, one vent started blowing noticeably less cold, so I brought the car back. They evacuated the entire system, found another leak in the evaporator, and told me they were "legally" prohibited from putting the refrigerant back in. I researched this and could not find any Florida or Federal law specifically prohibiting a shop from recharging an A/C system simply because a leak was detected. If that were the case, they wouldn't have recharged my leaking system the previous two times. The laws I found prohibit intentionally venting refrigerant into the atmosphere, which is a very different thing. I later took the car to another shop, and they recharged it without issue. They were actually confused as to why I had been told otherwise. What bothers me most is that I brought them a car with functioning A/C and one weak vent, and they returned it with no functioning A/C whatsoever. I was not clearly told beforehand that they would evacuate the system or that I would be leaving without A/C. I only discovered this when I picked up the car. Even worse, the technician notes I was sent stated that the system was both evacuated and recharged, which was clearly not the case.(Screenshot below) If this was an internal shop policy, that's one thing. But an internal policy and a legal requirement are very different things. After spending so much with this shop recently, I had been patient and understanding throughout the entire process, but this was the last straw. The staff may be courteous and professional, but that means very little when the actual service leaves the customer worse off. I cannot recommend this shop, and I will not be returning.

    Took my 2003 Jaguar in for transmission work in July and was quoted a price of $1800.00 for a used…read moretransmission complete with installation. Took them 2 weeks to get the car back to me, at the cost of just over $2000.00 (tax and all). Drove the car off the lot and had to bring it right back, as the transmission was still not working properly. Took them another 4 weeks and me making calls a couple of times each week to tell met that they needed another part and that they couldn't find it. Took me literally 15 minutes to locate the needed part online for a price of under $100.00. They had me order it and, when it was received, I took it directly to them at their new location (that's right -- they had moved their shop. They did reimburse me for the part). It took another week and a half and, again, numerous calls by me, to get it repaired. I picked it up yesterday and it now runs fine, but I probably could have built a transmission in the nearly 7 weeks it took them to fix mine. Poor communication, lack of concern for getting my car back to me, and a far cry from the week I was originally told it would take to fix my car. I will not be taking my car to them again.
