They can pretty much do anything I've ever needed done for my 1997 Honda Accord, 1997 Ford Ranger, and 2017 Ford Taurus. I used to tell Mr. Thompson, "My car is making this noise," or "it's doing X thing," and he would be able to narrow the diagnosis to one or to possibilities. And, I'll be doggone if he wasn't right more than 90 percent of the time. Although he passed several years ago, his son LeRon picked up the baton and has been doing it ever since.

They specialize in just about everything relating to a vehicle and if they don't they actually tell you parts cost along with the labor costs so you won't be taken advantage of. The entire staff is family so it's a great warm atmosphere as well. I highly recommend them.

They called me with an estimate at 1pm - nothing trumped up, just what I expected - and had the car ready to pick up by 5pm the same day. I'd definitely take my car back to them for work in Tallahassee. Bit out of the way (they're near the Fairgrounds) but well worth the drive.

I elected not to have them do the additional work, but instead took the van to Johnson's, telling Johnson's I definitely needed new tie rod ends. They called me the next day to let me know I did not, in any estimation they could figure, need new tie rod ends. They charged my AC system for $70, and sent me on my way. They have a longstanding reputation for honesty, well-earned.

A week later the car broke down on the highway. I texted him and let him know. Thigs was on a monday. I received a message back from him saying "I am sorry, I can not do anything in Friday. I am out of town. " After that, crickets. He never followed up at all even knowing a car he sold me left me stranded on the highway 2 weeks later. We have spent so much money trying to fix this lemon. We can't rely on a car we spent over 7k on less then 6 months later. STAY CLEAR OF THIS "DEALERSHIP ". Unless you want to be stranded and out of options like we are!

He allowed me to test drive as many cars as I liked (which were many), and supplied each car I was interested in with a driving history. Once narrowing down my options to a 2015 Subaru Forester, I asked if I could bring it to get a second opinion. Without hesitation he handed me the keys, as well as a list of mechanics nearby that would give a free diagnostic with his name (saved me $50). Over a few days, many phone calls and many visits I finally made a decision! It was such a respectable price, with the lowest fees I found in Tallahassee. A few weeks later, and I couldn't be happier with my choice!

This business was recommended to me by another auto repair shop, believe it or not. This repair…read moreshop also specializes in foreign cars. When I informed them of the issue, they gave me a quote on the spot and when they called, it was only to tell me that my vehicle was ready and the cost was the exact amount they quoted. The young lady at the front desk was very pleasant and the young man, perhaps one of the mechanics, who took my payment was nice as well. I was treated like I mattered. The only drawback, if you can even call it that, is that their weekday hours of operation are 10:00 to 5:00 and they are closed on Saturdays. So, may not use them again due to their business hours, which don't always line up with those of us who work full time/8:00 to 5:00 jobs.

I'm almost positive they are a chop shop and have been taking parts off of my new engine. The level of incompetence is unbelievable. When I call for updates they "accidentally" disconnect the call, or put me on hold and forget to comeback to the phone. I was told it would be 19 hours of labor to have my car finished. At the time of typing this review they still have not completed my car. I was told they would call me today with an update. They never called. These are horrible people. They are thieves. They are scammers. Not sure how they are still open. Avoid at all costs if you value your time money and sanity. Disgustingly slow and stupid people. Will be reporting this scam shop to the BBB. EDIT: they got one start only because yelp would not let me give them zero stars.

For 6 years I have endured the most poorly managed service (and now parts) departments i have ever encountered. It literally takes 8 hours to do an oil change and tire rotation. Good luck if you need more work done. They don't stock common parts for the most popular model. They recently had my car 5 days to replace a water pump. Now that my extended warranty is running out I do not intend to ever return there. Not to mention they speak to you as though you are a gullible idiot. What they don't know is that i have worked in a parts and service department at a dealership in the past. I actually know what goes on and how it can work smoothly. These people need to get a decent manager and start over from scratch. Avoid them until that happens.

P3 Automotive cost me over $1800 to correct their errors in work done on my suspension. This…read moreincludes $943 that P3 charged for installation of coil springs and struts, which was done incorrectly in spite of my explicit, specific instructions on how to do it right. The springs were installed on the wrong end of the car. The mechanic was probably stoned or hung-over. P3 turned the car back over to me and charged me as if nothing was wrong. Anyone with any mechanical sense should have known something was wrong, as the rear end was much higher than it should have been, and the front much lower. Months later I found out that the rear springs were on the front, and not supporting the engine compartment. I blew out two new front struts because of the excess weight on the front struts. I had to buy and replace two front struts, as well as pay another mechanic to reverse the coil springs correctly. At another time, P3 charged me for a re-manufactured rear brake caliper, which it turned out was never installed. They reused the old one with new springs. Charged me over $350 for that rip-off. Avoid this outfit unless you have money to burn!
