Two days before making the move down to Florida my car was damaged in a freak hail storm. There…read morewere little dents and welts all over my brand new Impala. I took my car over to Anthony's because there was an insurance claim inspector there. He recommended that I could actually have my car serviced right there, so I decided on the shop. The fellows at the front desk were informative and extremely accommodating. They even offered to give me a ride to the rental car agency if Enterprise didn't send a car over for me. After about a week and half of work (and dealing with a crappy rental), I got a call that my car was finished. I was amazed that they'd got it in and done so quickly! Upon arriving to pick up my vehicle they were quick to sign off on everything and leave the rest to the insurance company to handle. I got a look at my car and I was ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at how good it looked. You couldn't see one dent, scratch, or abrasion from the hail. They did exceptional work to make it look brand new again. On top of that, they washed and vacuumed my car too! I am very very happy with the work and if I ever have to have bodywork done again I'll be happy to drive over to Anthony's!

Avenue Garage is an authorized dealer for APR tuning. My 2014 Volkswagen CC was completely stock…read morewith the manufacturer rated 200 horsepower and 207 foot pounds of torque (APR dyno'd the stock motor at 221hp and 223 ft-lbs.) This is a reasonable amount of power but considering the basic architecture of this motor is tuned considerably higher in other VW/Audi applications, I wanted to upgrade its performance. FWIW, those sharing this 2.0 TSI motor include the VW Passat, GLI, GTI Tiguan and the Audi A3 and TT (and others.) APR has been among the best tuners for over 20 years with a reputation for performance, quality and reliability. Their Black Friday special was too good to miss. Ron at Avenue Garage was very helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained the process and worked with me on the logistics of getting my daily drive in and serviced. Kirk did the tune (more about that later) and I couldn't be happier with the service he performed. My car was done well within the time estimated and the cost was right where it was estimated. The Stage 1 tune is nothing short of amazing. APR really has tuning down to a science. Peak acceleration has definitely increase significantly, but ordinary performance has noticeably improved. APR states that fuel economy will increase but I would imagine that would have to be if you are showing some restraint with driving habits. The car is definitely quicker. I haven't tested it and I don't have a baseline, but I'm sure the 0-60 and 1/4 miles times are dramatically improved. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. I was considering buying another car with better performance. But the result of this $500 upgrade is real bargain and driving performance makes it feel like a totally new car. This is the tune that VW should have used from the factory. Given the exceptional service and incredible performance upgrade, I can't recommend Avenue Garage and an APR enough. I'd like to give a big thanks to Ron and Kirk and the staff of Avenue Garage.

2024 must have been an off year for the Avenue Garage. I've heard from a neighbor who previously…read moreworked as a mechanic there that they have quite a turnover with new mechanics and heard from another source that mechanics get commissions these days. I took my 2013 Mercedes convertible there in January 2024 and left it there for diagnostics of an overheating problem after being stuck in traffic all day from 1-75 being closed on December 27th or 28th 2023 due to a bad multiple vehicle accident. The Avenue Garage said the head gaskets were blown and it needed an engine replacement. They did find a replacement engine with approximately 50,000 miles "of course that's what they all say I have learned". Then the repair estimate was over $11,000 to replace the engine and make sure everything was operating properly. I decided that seemed really high and ended up leaving the vehicle here at my second home in Punta Gorda and deal with it this 2025 season. In January 2025 I contacted a Mercedes Benz repair specialist in Pompano Beach Florida and told him that it was determined last year by another repair technician in the Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda area that the car needs a replacement engine so he said he would try to find one and get back with me. He did find a replacement engine within a month then called me back with an estimate of approximately $4500 total for the engine and putting it in. The engine itself was $2100 which was included in the total price of $4500. I then paid for the engine and scheduled my once a year long haul tow up to 200 miles and had the vehicle towed to Pompano Beach for replacement of the engine. ABA Performance in Pompano Beach then test drove the car a few times, ran the engine diagnostics, determined it was low on coolant and spark plug #3 was misfiring but GUESS WHAT THE CAR DID NOT NEED A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AFTERALL! I was very skeptical about what I was being told but he satisfied me with his answers to all of my question. He did do a complete service on the vehicle and fixed what was needing to be fixed. So now I have a 2013 Mercedes replacement engine for sale $2100 OBO! So glad I didn't fall for the over 11 grand repair job that the Avenue Garage recommended. I almost sold the car as is to another neighbor thinking it needed an engine replacement and left the car here in Punta Gorda with a car cover on it which blew off during Helene or Milton not sure which hurricane it was.

On…read morethe way down (550 mi.) and after just having new tires put on it, our 2000 Toyota 4Runner begun to have a very severe vibration. Thinking it was a transmission problem and fearing a new transmission cost, I took it a nationally advertised transmission company. It was 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, the ad stated open till 5:30pm. When I arrived, it was closed tighter than a drum. Another car service center in that same shopping center was kind enough to take a look at it, even though it was closing time. They diagnosed the problem, but were not open on the weekend and recommended Tom Joyce Auto Repair Shop, said that shop was open on Saturday even called and left msg on answering machine. I took the car at 0745 for the opening time of 0800. The one and only mechanic said he had lots of work already scheduled and closed at 1230 on Saturday, but he would try to take a look. I told him my situation, and that I needed to be back to work on Monday, he said he do what he could, I left the car. I feared the worst! He called me back at almost five o clock, told me that it was just a universal joint, which he replaced for what I considered a very reasonable price. I'm sorry I don't remember his name, but this man went well above and beyond his duty to service me and well past closing time, and I would recommend this repair shop to anyone! On Sunday, we made it home on time, 8 hours drive later, and had no more issues. Now that's service! Len Sea, Atlanta, Ga.
