My son took his truck in for an oil change, 150.00 ( was synthetic ), and they came back with…read more1500.00 in upsells. He made an appointment and took his truck back to repair all on the list. One of the issues was a brake light and they literally broke the dash out of his truck trying to find the light problem. Worst part was that they said nothing about it, nothing. They just laid the pieces that they broke on the passenger seat. The manager picked him up with the shuttle van and took him back to get his truck and HE NEVER SAID A WORD. Part of this issue was found on a previous visit and was unable to repair at that time. We were unaware of the brake light situation because his father previously took care of this. For some reason, they called his father and they agreed to take the labor off and still charged over 200.00 for whatever they did besides break the dash. Not recommending this shop in any way. We are all adults here. Don't take advantage of a young man that is just starting to understand repair shops since his father previously took care of all of it, and is now gone. It was weird that they called him because he now has nothing to do with this. Be better and don't take advantage of customers.

I was initially aware of 1-Stop through AAA reviews. There are other shops of course in Venice, but I highly recommend A-Stop, and I'm quite confident you will too once you go there.

My oil was overfilled by an entire quart, forcing me to have the oil change redone during a road trip in Northeast Florida. I also received my well-maintained 2022 VW Jetta back with a dead battery and check engine light. My VW app showed accessories and battery-draining functions had been left on during the 1.5-hour service. I understand the battery may have already been weak and that this may not have been caused by the shop, but the immediate blame placed on me and push to sell me a new battery was unacceptable. When I called several times with reasonable questions, I was met with rude and dismissive responses rather than empathy or accountability. I was also quoted $67 and confirmed three times that an advertised special applied. I later learned parts and labor were excluded, making the oil change around $120. While my final price was fair, customers should be aware that the advertised price can be misleading without the additional costs. Mistakes happen. The bigger issue was how they were handled. As a woman, I was also uncomfortable with conversations I overheard such as ways to add additional services for "her" and sincerely hope I misunderstood their context. This is my second attempt at posting this review. I've attached documentation supporting my experience and hope honest, critical reviews are allowed to remain.

It was not it was the radiator and the radiator cap thank God I didn't listen to them. They also bypass the heater core and had a 45° angle on the hose not allowing water to pass through and they told me that water doesn't need to go through there which is absolutely not correct and could have blown my motor thankfully I brought it to another mechanic for mechanics in total who said they saw no sign of a blown motor and the final mechanic who fixed it for me. The owner went down and got into the space of my truck when I brought it to the first place and then they didn't want to do it anymore. Then when I contacted Rob about the situation he threatened me told me to get his lawyers and then had the police call me to tell me not to contact him anymore.

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.
