The vehicle was in their possession for over three weeks, and when it was returned, several of the same issues remained unresolved. I even brought it back the following day for an oil leak that was still not corrected. I have since obtained an independent inspection indicating that some of the services I was charged for were not performed or could not be verified, along with additional concerns identified after their repair. At this point, I am no longer comfortable returning the vehicle to the same shop and am pursuing formal complaints and small claims. Update: The business responded publicly asking me to reach out, however I have already contacted them multiple times (including emails sent on April 7 and April 10) and received no response. I am still waiting for a resolution. paid $3,087.65 for repairs that, according to a licensed mechanic's written inspection, were not completed. My vehicle was in the shop for over three weeks, and I was charged for a CV axle replacement, tire replacement, and tire services that were not actually performed. The vehicle is still leaking oil. They also missed repairs like the serpentine belt and wheel bearings. If said work was actually done they wouldn't have missed the wheel bearings, and serpentine belt while they had the engine apart and while apparently replacing the left front CV/axel. Which I would have happily paid for. I have reached out to the business to resolve this and have received no response. This has been an extremely frustrating and costly experience. I would not trust this shop without verifying all work independently.

As you glance around you notice a container of free snacks, fresh cookies and the password to their WiFi connection. A play area for children and a frig of soda and water for customers. It seems hard to believe you have come to Grease Monkey in Ruskin for an oil change or other car service they provide. Owners Joe and Mellisa Canfield set the standard for customer service and fair prices. From Kurt Beachler who greets you as you enter to the mechanic who will explain the service they provided you will join the list of satisfied customers who keep coming back. This location has been recognized for the service they provide as a wall of accolades and certificates of merit will attest to. I must admit I was tempted to go back for seconds on the chocolate chip cookies but a second cup of coffee took priority.

I can't say enough good things about Christian Brothers Automotive in Apollo Beach. I was in a real…read morebind--I needed a trailer hitch installed immediately so I could relocate my daughter out of state the next day. I had started the installation myself, but I couldn't get the factory bolts loose because I didn't have the right tools. Even though it was a last-minute request, they got me in right away. From the moment I walked through the door, the customer service was exceptional. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely wanted to help. They quickly finished the installation and had me back on the road in no time. It's rare to find a business that combines outstanding workmanship with customer service that truly goes above and beyond. They turned a stressful situation into a smooth, hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Christian Brothers Automotive in Apollo Beach and will absolutely be returning for future service. Thank you for taking such great care of me when I needed it most!

I…read moreborrowed my parents 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and after I got back to Ruskin from their home in Deltona (about 2 hrs. away), I noticed an oil leak the following morning. I had driven past the FYZ Auto care shop many times, but now I needed a mechanic--I brought it to the shop and Gil, one of the owners, greeted me in the office. He took the time to listen to my concerns, and I felt comfortable to let his shop take care of my parents' truck. Turns out it had some significant issues, and the leak was originating from where the engine and the transmission connect. Gil had the truck up on the lift, pointed out what was wrong and explained the issue clearly. He worked up a fair price and even though the work took an additional day to complete, he didn't try to charge more for extra labor. He guaranteed the work for 6 months. As an extra perk, I was in the process of buying a used vehicle from Carvana, and I brought it to his shop to give it a once over before finalizing the purchase. He gave it a clean bill of health and the SUV I purchased has been amazing--and that inspection gave me peace of mind and helped seal the deal. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. A couple of weeks after I brought the truck back to my parents, they said there was another leak. I brought the truck back to FYZ, where they checked it again, and made sure everything was working fine. They are a small shop, and sometimes get busy with work, but Gil is a good, honest guy and I look forward to working with him in the future for any my automotive needs.
