This place is PERMANENTLY CLOSED! Just drive there & noticed Google maps says they're permanently closed. No one there. No wonder no one would answer the phone. read more

Honesty is a real thing when it comes to car maintenance! Came in for my check engine light being on. After talking we realized my warranty oil change from the Chevy dealership was not actually done right and they never changed my filter like they said they did ( and charged for on a receipt ) but perfection fixed the problem for me right away no wait. They guys here are all super nice and honest!!!!! Which is hard to find! I felt very secure with their knowledge and I will be a customer here from now on! Thank you! read more

I'd like to sincerely THANK Jorge for taking care of my daughter and charging us a quarter of what Toyota Dealership wanted. As a father in South Florida, It's good to know there are decent people in Gainesville that won't rip us off! My daughter's AC went out on the way back to school. Toyota wanted $700.00 to diagnosis and recharge system.. plus more if a leak was found.. I found PERFECTION AUTO REPAIR online through reviews and kept my fingers crossed. Jorge took care of her, fixed the problem and was honest about it.. Any parent who has a child in Gainesville that needs vehicle serviced should check this place out! Thank you again Jorge and staff Jeff Weinsier Reporter/WPLG TV read more

Called TWICE to get a price on transmission drain and fill and/or appointment. Person answering the phone (PAP) needs to go back to "phone answering school". PAP stated "just a minute", but did NOT put me on hold and continued to have a loud conversation with the person across the room, with very loud banging/equipment noise. This lasted for a minute or more during both calls in which I was annoyed enough to hang up each time. They therefore lose my business and my money! read more

Perfection Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

They do the job quickly enough and good communication too. However, I did find something they did in a sloppy way. My BMW has lug bolt spec to 120 Nm. And I measured the torque with my Snap-on torque wrench. The torques on these bolt went as high as at least 165 Nm. I assume when they put these bolts on, they just grab they impact guns and squeezed the trigger as hard as it could go, and never bothered to use a torque wrench to do the final steps. A over tighten bolt can give you more pain than you can imagine, especially when weather doesn't do you any favor. These details are exact details that most customers don't have mean to find out, but sooner or later can merge to the surface. So, be reminded. read more

I've finally found my Gainesville mechanic. It's so hard to find an honest auto mechanic and I am grateful I found this place without playing Mechanic Russian Roulette. They are honest and if they tell you something needs to be fixed, believed them, because they have told me before, "It's not bad right now but it will need to be done down the road." You will never hear that from another mechanic. Go here if you want an honest mechanic that actually takes pride in their work and will do the job right. read more

Jorge was great! Came here for a tire replacement. They were fast to get it done. Good customer service

We found great reviews for George and his team and took a chance. We are so happy we did! We wanted to keep our car going and George's team made it safe and the cost reasonable. We finally have a mechanic we trust. read more

My car's brake light was in when I turned my car off. It drained my battery when the brake light was on overnight. Had to jump the car, but had the problem still. Went to a few mechanics and they charged well over $100( some close to $200) for this simple fix. Went to perfection auto and they charged under $100 and helped with everything. Ask for Jorge when you go, he's very helpful and has great customer satisfaction Definitely coming here for all future repairs! read more

Disclaimer: I was not paid to write this review, nor was I encouraged, persuaded, or otherwise motivated other than helping out a great local business and two super friendly, kind people who run an auto repair business. I'm always suspicious when I see positive reviews on a local business that use the owner's name, but Jorge makes it a point to have you remember his, so I think it's appropriate. Review: I drove a 2000 dodge neon INTO THE GROUND. 250K miles, before it finally gave up for good. As you can imagine, there were many repairs that took place between my acquiring it (circa 2007) and when it fell apart (March of 2012). Being a student in Gainesville, I was skeptical of getting ripped off, partially from being mechanically incompetent and partially because I assume everyone is out to rip off college students with their hands in daddy's pocket. So, when a timing something and a water something else broke on my car, I googled around and saw a few positive reviews. While the shop isn't much to look at it, the people inside are kind and understanding. Jorge, the owner, walked me through exactly what was wrong with the car (you can see how well that stuck from my detailed description of the problem) and what was required to fix it. Additionally, his wife priced out the parts that would be necessary, presented me with options, and volunteered to call around town trying to get a cheaper price for me. They were concerned about me spending a ton of money in a car that was likely to fall apart a few months later. They even laid out additional options that might be "temp fixes" if I was able to rid myself of the car sometime soon. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have much of a choice in that matter, but the fact that they weren't all-too-happy to take my money and see me again in a few weeks was something I hadn't expected. Overall, the service worked (the car fell apart due to a completely unrelated issue), the price was VERY reasonable, and the staff was eager to help however they could. If I didn't have a warranty on my new car with free maintenance, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here as my primary mechanic. read more

Good , honest , and trust worthy auto mechanics. The type of people you will want to be your "family" auto mechanic

I love Jorge. Heart of lion. Jk. But really... Great guy, really cares about his customers. Went for a tire alignment in the morning, got it by noon, Jorge let me know a few things the car needed to be done but didn't push me to order any parts, just to be careful and get it fixed when I could (I told him I didn't have much money to spend). Personal opinion? Call and ask for Jorge. He'll help you out. He's also got a first time student discount which is pretty great too! He helped my girlfriend's car too when she was freaking out about it and managed to work with us on what we did and didn't need to get done right away. read more

Nice family environment with a place to relax inside in the AC while you wait. Jorge is entertaining, but most importantly does a good, quick job. He also gives you recommendations based on exams which occur when all you ask for is a simple oil change. No sales pitch, just points out things that could use some tuning. He was able to squeeze my friend in for an oil change right before close and pointed out her tire walls were cracking. read more

Jorge was able to schedule me in for an oil change when other automobile shops were not flexible for me. He replaced a bulb in my headlights free of charge, and was extremely informative about tire replacement. I will continue to use Perfection Auto Repair for my future needs. read more

Excellent place! Will be my go to for car repairs going forward. My car AC was not working, and I was told by a different place in Gainesville who checked it out that my compressor was out and I needed a new one ($1,500 quoted that day). I called Jorge some time later as I heard great things about his company. While the previous shop quoted me $1,500, Jorge examined my car and found that it was not my compressor at all, and saved me $1,300!! There is real value to customer service and honest individuals out there. All in all fixing my AC ended up being only $200 and took just a few hours from diagnostics to fixing it. Turns out it was just the AC compressor drive plate. I can't thank Jorge and his team enough for their honesty and dedication to real customer service! Thank you! read more

A lot of repair shops will not install parts you bring in from outside because then they can't make a sale pitch out of it. Jorge didn't hesitate to tell me to bring my car and the parts and gave me a quick quote. According to two different car repair shops and mechanics, they said that my brake pads are worn out and needed replacements. When Jorge and his team took off the wheels and looked at my parts, he called me saying they don't need replacements yet as they're still 80% functional and can last for a whole lot more. In other repair shops I was quoted $350-$500 for an unnecessary job and I'm glad Jorge was completely honest and provided pictures to illustrate that I didn't need replacements yet. I left his shop uncharged and I'd definitely come back to him again if I ever needed anything done. read more

Nicest people you will ever meet! I may buy another car but honestly they are patient, decent mechanics

George the owner is an excellent business owner. This is my first time here, but just spending a while here and speaking with him, also listening to him talk to his team I get the feeling I'm in very good and capable hands. He took a long time to speak to me regarding my beloved chevy vans needs and what we should do for her to make her travel worthy. The peace of mind from knowing you have quality work being done is priceless. But in case you weren't sure his prices are very competitive and nearly half the next best rated here for an ac service. The repair isn't done yet but I have confidence in my rating. I'll update if need be. Great shop, also very comfortable waiting area. read more

Had to bring in my Equinox for some work and Jorge was so honest and helpful in getting me back on the road. Very very happy with Jorge and the staff at Perfection Auto. Would highly recommend. read more

I love this place! I have been taking my cars to Jorge since I was referred to him almost 10 yrs ago. Jorge and his wife Karen run this place, they are one of the nicest people I have met. You can see the stress on some of the customers walking in and Jorge will greet them with a smile time and time again. This shop is always busy, phones are ringing, people are in and out all the time. They have replaced brakes, done oil change's, tune up's, carburetor work, AC, replaced filters , changed tires on a couple of my cars over the years and they have always done great work and their prices have always been fair. read more

Jorge is a very reputable, honest and stands by the work done on our vehicles.

Would recommend to anyone looking for an honest auto repair if you need something fixed on your car/truck. Jorge calls to let you update on the repairs. So anything from an oil change to a full engine replacement is done on a timely and cost effective way. No overselling, just tells what needs to be paid attention to in the near future. We depend on his expert opinion to keep our cars running without any issues. It's hard to find an honest auto repair shop and we are so glad to have found Jorge and Perfection Auto Repair! read more

Jorge, the owner, is fantastic! Talk about an honest mechanic! Bring your car here! His team replaced a bunch of items under the hood ranging from a broken timing belt and damaged water pump to various oil leaks. They were thorough and had it all done quickly. I will definitely be using them for now on for all automotive needs. read more

The side door latch cable on my van broke and my neighbor recommended I try perfection auto repair. Jorge called me numerous times to update me as to what was going on and when it would be done. It did not take them long to get me up and running again. Great service and price. They have just become my go to repair shop. read more

Recently I had an experience with Perfection Auto that wasn't quite what I was expecting. I've used this auto repair shop before and had decent experience and service. This week I noticed my temperature gauge was going pass it's normal reading for my vehicle, so, I decided to take it to Perfection Auto for them to check it out. I dropped it off at 7:45 a.m. and was expecting a call back with a diagnosis of what the complication was with my vehicle. Since I had no contact from them, I was forced to call at 11:45 and they hadn't even inspected my vehicle. They returned a call to me at 1:00 p.m. to advise me of the problem; it was the water pump and thermostat. Understandable, but, when they told me what the price would be for servicing my vehicle, which they said came up to a total of $788.00, I did more investigation and called other mechanics. I decided to go get my vehicle and take it to another mechanic. Upon arrival at Perfection they wanted me to keep my vehicle there to get it repaired. I advised them that I just wanted to take it away. They seemed to get agitated that I wanted to take my own car. Upon my request for wanting to take my own car, they charged me $95.00 for an hours worth of labor; which was there for 6 hours and it only took them five minutes to look at. Needless to say, I will never go there again not even for an oil change; I'd rather do it myself. The other mechanic shop I took my vehicle to did the same service and found a few gaskets that were in need of replacing and my bill was still over $200 cheaper! read more
