I'm always unsure/nervous about car things- but Firestone on Bee Ridge was my go to while living in Sarasota for years. They are really honest, kind, and made me trust them very much so on recommends, pricing, and more. Very much recommend- read more

I strongly recommend reconsidering before doing business with this facility. Our company operates a fleet of over 15 vehicles and has spent thousands of dollars here over time, so this feedback comes from significant firsthand experience. Recently, I had an unrelated issue with one of their technicians at a nearby gas station. When I later arrived to drop off my personal vehicle, I saw the same technician and attempted to address the situation professionally, as I was understandably concerned about him working on my vehicle. He laughed, ignored me, and walked away without any effort to resolve the matter. I then brought the concern to management. The response I received was simply that I was free to take my vehicle elsewhere if I was uncomfortable. There was no attempt to understand the situation, de-escalate it, or provide reassurance. Given the amount of business we have brought to this company, the lack of professionalism and customer service was extremely disappointing. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this facility and suggest others carefully consider their options. read more

When it came to paying the work they did, I asked calmly and nicely if I may have a specific type of receipt and that they may explain what type of Work they did on the Vehicle. One of the cashiers came at me strictly saying "no", and demanding to do it their way first. So tell me this, If I'm paying for their Work, the Customer needs to know what Work they did on the Vehicle right? How am I gonna pay without knowing what they did to the Vehicle? Even more Hilarious their funny "Manager" spoke strictly demanding to do it their way. Once I paid; which I did & was going to do from the start; which I did in the end, the cashier apologized to me cause he knew he was wrong. My final question is, What's the rush? And the best worker there was the Man with the Glasses and Tattoos on both his Arms, he was a Good Dude. read more

DO NOT TRUST! I had my oil changed here and the mechanic cross threaded the drain plug and then painted over it all to prevent leak..... When I needed my next oil change my mechanic was afraid to remove it because he wouldn't be able to screw it back in. As a result, I need a whole oil pan replacement and was three quarts low on oil ..... this will cost about $880 in labor and parts to have done. I will definitely not be going back to Firestone. I always thought it was a reputable company but have lost my faith. I don't know if this was ignorance, laziness, or done so that I would have to come back and spend this money with them for my next oil change. read more

Called ahead to see if they were busy and could I get right in. They told me yes so I drove across town to be told it will take an hour and a half!!! Not cool Firestone read more

Very busy place but did fine with my simple oil change. Def make an appointment they get very busy. read more

THEY RIPPED MY TIRE AND LIED ABOUT IT TO ATTEMPT SELLING ME A NEW ONE, BUT THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THEIR LIE AND TRIED MAKING IT RIGHT. We took our vehicle into Firestone for a tire patch and we were told it would be about an hour and a half. We went home and minutes later they called to ask if we were interested in a few additional services which we declined. We received a second call and were told the tire was unfixable and tried to sell me one of their tires. We declined. Upon returning to the shop the car was still on the lift and the tire still off. The manager told me the person on the phone was new and "didn't know" and proceeded to show me the tire. He showed me the place where the nail was (I knew this) but then showed me a big rip on the tire. I mentioned the rip was not there when dropping off the car, and he said the tire was completely flat upon pulling the car into the lift. I told him how improbable that was as I have driven there and had inspected the tire and tire pressure before leaving the house as well as upon arrival to the shop. I added that I had video of this. He asked me at this point to wait as he would see "what he could do for me." He came back and told me he had spoken to his employee and that he had told him "the truth." That the tire had a small cut but when taking the tire off, he (the employee) had caused the big rip. He said he would throw in a new tire at no charge and apologized. When handing me the key I asked for his employee's name but he refused to say it. He said he would talk to him and agreed with me when I made the comment that what his employee had done "was pretty bad stuff". As a returning customer, and fellow business owner, I am a disappointed at Firestone as they were dishonest and attempted to take advantage of me, even if they tried correcting their actions at the end. Please beware. read more

I always get nervous going into auto repair shops, because I don't know what to expect as far as treatment towards me, services and costs involved. I visited Firestone for a brake inspection on Wednesday. Manager Tony assured me it was free. The check took 20 minutes and I was outta there within an hour; he confirmed my front brakes were great, and the back ones had slight wear but no immediate replacement needed. Advised me to contact Toyota for the squeak; no issues found. Appreciate honest and helpful service from the manager Tony. I always appreciate it when mechanics are honest with me as he was and it makes a huge difference with who earns my business and loyalty as a customer. Also got a rear tire quote which was helpful and replacement sounds like a good deal so I may be back when I'm back in Sarasota. read more

We were vacationing from palm beach and needed a new tire ! These people are the most professional I have ever seen! We were in and out great service!!! Wish my Firestone was as great! Definitely recommend this Firestone for all your auto needs!!!! Clean and friendly!! read more

I had the pleasure of having Tony (& Wes, I believe his name was) take care of me today - I was in such a bind, but when I called - Tony told me he had the tire I needed in stock (when nobody else in town did!). Once I got to the shop, I was taken care of with professionalism and they got me up and running in no time. They even put my jack back correctly and my spare back underneath my Jeep. Everything was super neat in my vehicle! I am so appreciative of this shop and beyond thankful they were able to accommodate my immediate need, in order to get home safely! I wish these guys were here in my city - I'd be buying tires from them anytime I needed them. Thanks Tony! read more

Firestone Complete Auto Care - Tires Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

See all

Quick and efficient! Took care of my car almost immediately without making an appointment.

These guys are always professional and kind. I've only gone here for tire related things. I like their alignment offers for 6 months or 12. With our roads I feel like I need alignment often. I also need air often, and they always take care of my tires right away. read more

Lowest prices around and super friendly. Quick service. Checked all around town for the cheapest price and they beat out everyone and warrantied the work read more

Living and working on Siesta Key, I rarely drove my car. With a job transfer to Sanibel, I found myself all of a sudden driving. Wouldn't you know it , within two days of driving that commute, my brakes and rotors went up. I called on a Sunday morning and explained my situation, Wes told me to bring it right in. After arriving, he took my info and told me my estimate, giving me a discount on top of it, took my keys, and told me to come back in an hour! I did, and my car was waiting for me. Wes actually worked on it himself to get me in and out so I could make it to work in time. I will be going back for Oil change and tires. Awesome customer service is hard to come by now days. He hit it out of the park! read more

Scheduled an appointment for 8am for a tire patch. Took them 2 hours to patch it. Front desk associate we're quite rude, Workers inside the shop were just on there phones and I even caught them hitting someI kept going outside to look at progress and my vehicle was just sitting for a whole hour without being worked on. Lazy and unprofessional shop.. dont give them your money. read more

My name is Katie born and raised in Sarasota Florida. Always relied on bee Ridge Road fire stone today especially head manager. Tony just took care of me again and my tire issue and his team I want to say thank you for all the awesome customer service that is applied. Thank you again.!!!! read more

Outstanding, reliable, professional service. Again! Great customer service is rare these days and Firestone on Bee Ridge has never let me down. I was particularly happy with the courtessy I received from Wes, who checked me in and told me exactly what to expect. He was clear, courteous, knowledgable and friendly. I had scheduled an oil change but specifically asked to have my car checked for safety issues. My car is old, and as a single, working woman, I rely on it for transportation to jobs. Josh, the mechanic who worked on my car, was excellent. He explained everything I might need to keep my old car safe and running well. He was also clear about what was urgently needed ... and what could wait. Wes and Josh helped me schedule some of the work for next week and I will wait for them to advise me about the rest. Additionally, about a year ago, I had outstanding service from Tony when I purchased tires. I love my local, neighborhood Firestone. I feel confident that the work I will have done next week is necessary, not over-priced, and will be professional. I am especially thankful for Wes, Josh, and last year, Tony. Outstanding service! read more

I went to Firestone on Bee Ridge as we have used their car services for over three years. Chris has left the business and two men were behind the desk. The air conditioner was not working and the dashboard displayed Action Required - Steering assist is reduced - drive with care. Quoted $1423.96 for A/C performance check, thermostat, and coolant fluid exchange. Gave me a tire quote that I did not request. They suggested I call for a ride home as I could ruin my engine by driving my car. They could have my car repaired by the end of the day. I viewed the quote and decided to leave. They warned me again about the damage I could do to my engine by driving the car. They charged me $49.68 for their A/C performance check. Their scare tactic did not work on this woman. I was referred to Sal at Scotti's Repair Service on Tuttle Avenue. Nothing was wrong with my car except it needed a coolant flush service that cost $80.25. BEWARE of Firestone on Bee Ridge. read more

I have been here several times. I must say they always exceeded my expectations. Today I needed an oil and filter change because I let my oil get low. They told me it would be 10 minutes to 7 when they can do it. It was 5:45 and I decided to wait. Imagine my surprise when Michael called me 20 minutes later saying my car is done! Great job! I find them to be honest and competent! Their prices are also reasonable. read more

I wouldn't bring a lifted vehicle here, they just get the numbers in the green and that is "within specs" and doesn't matter if it still pulls to either side. I called ahead and asked if they were able to work on it, clearly not. I had to take my vehicle somewhere else that knows how to work on lifted vehicles and they fixed it. read more

I have patronized Firestone on Bee Ridge many times over the 25 years that I've lived in Sarasota. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and work hard to serve their customers well. Recently, I dropped by with a set of small tires that needed to be repaired. They inflated the tires and made the minor repair quickly and, to my surprise, free of charge. read more

Here from out of town, car broke down at beach and had no choice but to tow it to this location they were the only one still open. Apparently my husbands key had gone bad, so they called and let us know - we said we had another key and would come pick it up. Came in and they charged us $130 just to tell us it was a key. My husband asked them how they could charge this much; the guy told them they had to put the car on the lift and then try new batteries in the key. This is the only mechanic we have ever been charged by to do a diagnostic - every other place we have ever been to calls us to let us know what is wrong and then ask if we want them to fix it. This place didn't even think to call to see if we had a second key before they tried messing with the key. read more

On a Friday I was looking for a trailer tire and they didn't have the right one, so Tony had one ordered to arrive on Monday. I was OK with this as I'm from out of the area and would be back Monday. On Saturday things changed and I called Tony letting him know I was in the area on Sunday...he wasn't sure the tire would arrive in time, but I'm pretty sure he made it happen because he called later in the day, telling me the tire would be there on Sunday (I was super happy). I arrived on Sunday in the afternoon with the trailer in tow, ready to have one tire replaced. In a matter of seconds (seriously), I was pulling close to a repair stall where a mechanic named Wes expeditiously changed out the tire for me (the place was busy too). When I asked Wes if he could check the other three tires for correct pressure, without hesitation he made it happen and corrected the low pressure on the entire trailer. Would I go back...YES I wish this crew and shop were closer to my neighborhood! Great job!!! read more

I brought my truck in and mentioned that it may need a new cv joint or boot because the driver side was clicking, when the called me to tell me that there was nothing wrong and that they took off the passenger side rotor which needed to be replaced, they never did a diagnostic prior to taking anything apart, instead they called me to tell me that the cv joint was fine, i had to tell them to run a diagnostic in which they determined that i needed to replace the rack and pinion which i did, over the week or 2 that followed i started to notice something was leaking where the truck was parked and not too long after I am now getting error messages telling me to check my oil filter because it mysteriously started leaking oil and had a damaged oil pressure sensor within 12" vicinity of the repair area. I had my oil changed in the last 4 months with 0 issues - Avoid this shop!!!! These damages were either done deliberately or by negligence on their part. read more

Excellent! I had a flat tire, that needed to be patched. I was in & out in no time. Very sweet. Awesome job!

While other places were understaffed, could not honor an appointment, and had poor communication, Firestone was very helpful. Had me in and out in 30 minutes for a tire change. Friendly and fast, I'll rely on Firestone for my Automotive needs read more

Can't speak highly enough of the quality customer service I have received during each of my two recent visits. Colby's knowledge, together with his willingness to assist in meeting my repair needs gives me the confidence I have often lacked in trusting an auto repair shop as a woman with little to no knowledge about cars. Will be in need of brakes in the very near future and Colby and this Firestone location will be my go to place. Thank you for service above and beyond my expectations. read more

30 min oil change took 1 hour as the ordered wrong air filters, really? Your a complete auto store with a computer that tells you the order number. Not happy Went back again for oil change. Appt at 1 on a Saturday they took me at 110 great. Asked for wipers to be checked as well. Car done by 200 total cost 79$. I said last time was 52$ is it the wipers. Oh no he said we didn't check those. Wth I asked and now don't have time to wait for that. Why so much then. Wait hold on. Ok 52$ really so if I don't say anything I get charged 79$. Not going back!! read more

Go see Charles! We were on our way to Florida from Nashville and had to plug our tire roadside! When we got to Sarasota for our wedding, Charles fixed us right up! He was awesome! Thanks! Firestone for life! read more

My mom is 80 years old and often needs help taking her Honda mini-van in for service. Gary was personable and quickly helped us select tires at the right price. He was also honest during an unexpected need for a second tire. Definitely going back for future tire and repair needs! read more

I was so pleased with the service here I felt I must share! My husband called to see if I would be able to get a tire put onto rim. They were warm and eagerly welcoming. When I got there, there were several people waiting. My heart sunk. Tge gentleman quickly offered to take my tire and call me when it was done. He was incredibly friendly and I was thrilled with the option to come back. As he took my info, another very friendly employee said, "I can take care of the tire right now". The gentleman said it might take awhile but if I was interested in waiting, they'd put the tire on the rim, then the tire on my car, then align it. I had come prepared to wait so I got to work on some paperwork in the waiting room. In just over a half our from when I walked in, the tire was on the rim, the spare removed and replaced neatly tonics place under the Tahoe, a new tire was on and I was out the door! We have a lifetime alignment deal with them which we've used for years, so the whole thing was $20.05!! AND they were incredibly friendly! ~ a super pleased customer! Thank you! read more

I've never been taken advantage of. They are reasonable and honest. I truly recommend going there for any car service. I bought the tire package and ended up getting a nail in my tire. Needed a new tire and only had to pay $15 ... Doug is the man! read more

I am very unsatisfied with the manager Charles, I get there my tire was bigger than the car need so he told me the side I need is on the door and is not safe if I use different than that side so I follow his advice. he offered me an alignment $80 one time, $179.99 lifetime, I took life time, now he never offer me a road hazard , now 2 week later I get nail in my tire and I have to buy a new tire because this gentleman never offer to me that road hazard, I call him back and he told me I offer to you but you said no is a big lay, he even told me I don't want to spend money that way I say no, if I want to save money why I get the life time alignment?, I paid double but in a long way I will save money, so Charles don't put words in my mouth and do your job there. If you did your job right I should not paid 170$ for a new tire after 2 week. read more

I always get anxiety when it comes to repairs, but the girl that was at the counter was great. She checked all the fluids and brought me a white cloth with examples of how each looked and said i was good. Im a hypochondriac with my van so its nice to have an honest person that doesnt over charge. Very friendly too. read more

Awesome experience. Anna and Alan helped me. They are very professional and timely. I dropped my car and got it back in great condition. The team there does great work! Always a pleasure to find good people to do business with. read more

Never going back anymore. I had alignment done and had to go back the next morning because they did not do a very good job after driving my car for couple hours. Doug took care of my car both days btw, then after the car is done that next morning, my car sounds even worse than before! I notice another problem in my car that has a clanking noise sounds like my car is about to fall apart every time I make a turn. Due to work, Firestone dont pay my bills so i have to get another day to get it fixed! So the worker inside told me the car is done just going for a test drive, no one ever bother to tell me about the clanking noise whatsoever after the test drive. As soon as I pull out of that store and turn, i heard it right away even driving away everytime i turn. Im going to be honest, this is the worst experience i have ever encounter with Firestone! I could sue this place for negligence. My husband is very unhappy how Firestone take care of us while doing business with them for many years, he did a torque fixed in the bottom of the front alignment and said the bolts were so LOOSE and did not properly tighten the bolt after the alignment! Explain that?! If firestone can't measure the safety of the customer after doing business, how the hell should I trust you fixing my car again? Don't even waste your time coming here for alignment, they're so busy they forgot to tighten the bolt that can put your situation in a dangerous position driving off the road. I never had problem with firestone until either they hire a bunch rookies that don't how to take care of your care properly or new management. read more

Came in with a big screw in my tire. I was told they couldn't patch or plug it and to continue to drive with it, cause if they pulled the screw out the tire would go flat??? Then I asked about purchasing a new tire and was told to go to my car dealership!!! Drove to another tire company......purchased 2 tires. Won't be back to Firestone!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I went to Firestone on a Wednesday afternoon for a 4 wheel alignment and full vehicle inspection in preparation for a cross country drive. They replaced a break light, and found a tire that was somehow placed on the rim backwards (removed, set back on correctly, rebalanced). I definitely noticed the ride was a bit smoother afterwards. Everything only took about 1 1/2 hours to complete. The final bill was only about $110. Everyone was very polite and professional. Needless to say, was very pleased with the service. read more

Wow! The staff here at the Beeridge road Firestone really do actually care!! I have been going here for years and am so grateful that they have always been HONEST and amazing which has not always been the case with other car repair shops that I have been to in the past!! :) read more
