The follow up I received from Justin Dowell was equally impressive. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my 2002 Tacoma. There was no upselling, no games--just honest, reliable work at a fair price.

He got me in the next morning and stated he would run a full transmission service and see what we see. He said it would take 2 hours and 2 hours later, I received a call to come get my truck. They found a significant leak in a switch which he had in stock. Performed the full service and the transmission is running smoothly. Honest men with integrity. This is the only place to go for transmission work.

Once ownership changed hands, we quickly knew the shop was in good hands. I have trusted them with every car we owned, old and new, Honda, Dodge, Chrysler and more. Bill will make sure you get a thorough inspection. He will listen carefully and ask good questions and will only suggest repairs that he knows are needed. Sherry is great on the phone and remembers who you are with personal customer service that's nearly impossible to find these days. Our Honda Odyssey van went through a period of 7 tires in 11 months thanks to road construction and dumb bad luck. They were great to get me in and out, to be honest about whether a tire could be patched or needed to be replaced. The van now has 292,000 miles and is going strong! Bill and his crew have repaired vacuum systems, broken hoses and belts, AC work, and even a TPM on a stubborn old Dodge Nitro. He says what he means and means what he says. Trust them for quality car care and honest prices.

Have you ever watched a person lie to you through their teeth? THEY know they're lying & YOU know they are lying, but they ramble on anyway, repeating themselves, mentioning details irrelevant to the issue, rudely insisting that they went over this before & "Sal was right there" hoping it will gaslight you into agreeing with their version of events? That was my experience. I have my boyfriend as witness & we were quoted $800 estimate on the repairs. (No mention of labor hours). I dropped my car off at 8:10am on a Monday - I nicely asked Miriam to please call me ASAP with a final cost before proceeding & When my car would be repaired. The ENTIRE business day passed with: zero text. Zero phone calls. Zero estimate. No loaner cars either. I had to hitch a ride home from work and back to work the following day. I called AGAIN, and asked very nicely for a final quote on repairs and ETA. The entire day passes- AGAIN! NO text, No phone call. No quote Finally, as I'm en route via uber to the repair shop at 4:10 pm just before they are about to close I get an invoice for $2,000!!! WHAT?!? When I arrive (shook & nearly in tears) Miriam is hostile & insists she went over this before- pointing & shaking a paper neither me or my boyfriend EVER SAW & 6-7 hours of labor we were NEVER told would be the case. It would have been the professional thing to do- to give me the price UPFRONT like I asked and wait for the green light from me BEFORE proceeding to hold my car hostage for 2 days and then not be nasty at the end. Unbelievable! Not a way to run a business. She's running it into the ground with her lack of professionalism, courtesy and severe lack of honesty.

BUYER BEWARE! DISHONEST AND INCOMPETENT!!! I live a couple…read morehours from my family members but will still have them come up to do more involved services and save them some money. A family member went here and was told their brakes were needing to be done urgently. The LOWEST pad was at 5.5mm. Replacement is recommended at 3mm and very urgent at 2mm. This was still another 20,000 miles off of needing a brake job. Also, I went to go take the wheels off and noticed my Milwaukee 1/2 High Torque Impact was struggling so I checked the torque on the wheel nuts; I picked two random ones and they both came out to 210 FT-LBS. The factory says 85 ft.-lbs and a lot of tire shops just do a standard 100 ft-lbs. THESE PEOPLE TORQUED THESE WHEELS TO 2.5X THE SPECIFICATIONS! I wouldn't be surprised if they had an actual silverback gorilla controlling the impact. DISHONEST, SCAM ARTISTS, DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY PUT A WHEEL ON A CAR!!!

On 7-31-25 I paid Skips Automotive to do a full diagnostic inspection on my new to me Dodge. At…read morethat time it had approx 11,500 miles driven. This resulted in Rob Wong advising the car needs new front brake pads and rotors. I was charged a job deposit of $1220.00 for front brakes pads and rotors and waited to be told the parts were in. I haven't worked in the automotive industry so I view myself as a lay person. In my opinion, brakes are either good or not good. A few days later I called Rob stating that there was no squeaking, pulling of the steering wheel or pulsing coming from the front and asked his opinion on whether it was safe to continue driving. He stated "it should be safe to drive." The next few days I went to 3 other service shops for brake inspection. Most folks wouldnt have the time, money or fortitude to do this. At 11,544 miles Firestone found 6-7 mm left on the pads and rotors which were said to be 60% of life left. At 11,624 Tires Plus inspected the brakes. Again 6mm of pad remaining. They determined that service wasnt needed. The 3rd, Dodge of Sarasota, inspected the brakes at 12,721 and found 60% life left of both pads and rotors and stated "no brake work is needed." Needless to say my brakes aren't an issue. 3 shops wanted my money but didn't take it because there was no reason. I told Rob I wasn't doing a brake replacement. Facts are I can wait another 11,000 miles at this rate of wear. Rob Wong emailed Sept 31, 25, saying "I am going to charge you a restocking fee, and you will be responsible for return shipping on the cancellation. Return shipping was 141.41, my restocking fee is 10%(so $122), the manufacturer has a $120 restocking fee. So, the initial cost was $1220-122-120-141.41= $836.59 you will be receiving." I went to court today. The Wongs wrote a check for $1385. Why more than the $1220 deposit? Apparently they agreed that me having to file a claim and have summons served cost me money. They (Shaila not Rob) willingly paid half court costs, apologized and paid me in full $1220 plus $165. He ate the restock, return shipping etc to the tune of $261.41. And paid me $165 more than he took from me. The lesson is this. I have a special car......Dodge Hellcat Redeye. At first I considered myself fortunate to find Skips Automotive. To see an AES certified mechanic shop treat its customers this way burns me and is the reason for the review but has cost them more than this unfortunate review. Had Rob been upfront about the acutal condition of the brakes and not sold them as a performance upgrade thinking I was going to the track and actually had a discussion instead of choosing to do business this way Id have gone back again and again and again. The other thing is when a shop cant pony up the minor $'s for parts and needs a deposit, RUN. Ask to see the pads/rotors. Educate yourself and have them SHOW you why the service is necessary. I wonder what he would have done differently had he to do it again. He lost a total of $426.41, a morning away from work, PLUS me as a return customer. His wife graciously apologized for her husband who refused let his ego get out of the way of recognizing the proper way to treat a customer. Too late. In regard to everything I was generous and more than fair. It cost me $237 not including gas, meter time, and angst more than I was reimbursed. Is the sting on Skips Automotive/Raw Racing going to last? Buyer beware!
