From gear shit replacement, brakes, tires, etc, they have never let me down. I also have found them to not overcharge the way other businesses have been known to do. I recommend them to anyone new to the general South Sarasota/North Charlotte Counties area. A good family business that proudly stands behind the family name that has earned respect of many in the greater Venice/Englewood/Nokomis areas.

I made an appointment to have the oil changed at 1:00 on a Friday and it went really well. The service writer was very helpful and courteous. It took about 45 minutes and the cost was reasonable. No upsell, no delay, just quick service. I overhear several phone calls with customers while I was waiting that sounded very professional and honest. The waiting room was the cleanest that I have ever experienced in a small shop like this. They had water and seltzer in a mini fridge. They also had a Kurig for coffee. I recommend them to anyone needing service. Thanks for a great service experience.

She took it back in, to be looked at again. They then wanted to replace Compressor (only) and more Freon. She did the repair, day before the holiday. That worked for a day, then stopped working again. It took several days to get back into the shop. When she did I was there this time. I questioned what they had done previously and tested. Trying to ensure they weren't just replacing parts to replace parts. They reassured us they fully tested anything. They scheduled an appointment to retest the system. So we dropped the vehicle off at 8am, we called several times during the day without a response. Finally got a call at the end of the day close to 4pm, and said now they tested it and the system seemed like there was a blockage. So they wanted to replace the Condenser and Expansion Value, for another ~$1000. I questioned the quote, and they had a hard time explaining the charges. Just that there was $650 in Labor and $350 in parts. I did some researched prices online, for Parts and Labor. I found the parts ~$75 to $150 and the average cost in her County was ~$700. When I asked why the markup was high (133%) if the place that they were getting parts from was the dealer or the part broker didn't have warranty on parts. He said and I will not forget it... "let me be honest, the owner sets the pricing. And we are located on the Island here and there is money on this Island." We won't be going back, and recommend others stay away.
