Great place to take you vehicle! It's so hard to find a good mechanic that knows what they are doing and doesn't take advantage of you. I have gone through about ten mechanics and I am so happy I finally found these guys. They are known for specializing in Mercedes, BMW, Audi and other foreign and domestic brands and I was actually referred there by another mechanic shop when I had my jetta. They are very upfront and honest and easy to work with. They usually can get you in if not that day then the next business day and order their parts overnight so the service is quick and you get your vehicle back in no time. The prices are fair and tells you exactly what needs to be done and explains it all very well so you know exactly what you are paying for. I recently got a 5 years old Mercedes and got rid of my jetta and I still take it to Ash's place even over the dealership who overprices things and does sloppy work (they put the wrong oil filter size on my car and it busted off and leaked all the oil all over the driveway). Can't say enough good things about these guys...if you are searching for a good mechanic who does great work, definitely check these guys out! read more

I used this place to get my two cars maintained for about year. Never a problem ! As always when i use a new mechanic i'm careful at what i do with them , i get them to do small jobs first and see how it goes, carefully looking for signs of un necessary part replacements and bullshit up charges . Never got a hint of anything like that so far. Ash ( i think he is the owner operator) has actually told me a bunch of times not to fix certain minor problems i had as he described it a slippery slope where the cost of repair doesn't justify the benefit. Thats kind of cool. Last week, a day before Christmas i got him to replace control arms on my old 2006 Audi A4. He got it done quickly. One thing that bugged me though .. ( and i called and told him about it when i got home) is that either him of another dude that was there left some greasy marks on the hood. He offered a carwash and apologized. So far all cool with me ( i was just being bitchy with all the christmas stuff and all...whatever) read more

I would like to recommend Ashly Drozdowski (941) 822-6151 because he is a highly qualified, honest, trustworthy automotive mechanic who will go the extra mile to provide great service. Last month (March 2016), I drove to Sarasota from Weston to participate in a soccer tournament. Unfortunately, the cooling system hose in my 2008 BMW 335i broke, resulting in a major complication since there was nothing open on the weekend. Fortunately, I found Ashly, who came to my hotel parking lot to look at my car. He provided honest guidance into the potential solutions, always thinking how to save me money. He went back and forth to get the temporary parts to replace in my car and worked until my car was up and running. This incident could have cost me upwards of $1,000 had it not been for Ashly. Please give him a call if you want someone you can trust and someone who knows what he is doing. read more

I had some serious car trouble and another shop was trying to overcharge me when I called Sarasota Mechanic. Ashly went the extra mile and not only took time over the phone to help me understand what was wrong, but also explain how to fix it even if it meant doing it myself or not taking it to him. I was really impressed with how much he cared about helping me and not just looking after his own best interest. I decided to sell the car, bought a new one, and took my new car to Sarasota Mechanic to be inspected. He did an excellent job, was super friendly, and explained to me what to expect with future maintenance. If you are looking for a mechanic who cares about helping you, talks straight, and is generous with his time and knowledge, this is the place to go! read more

Ashly replaced my timing belt on my 95 ferrari 355 spider for a lot less than other places. Some shop's didnt even want to take the job on saying that they dont have the right tool's or that their mechanic's are not skilled in that kind of work. During the job,ashly called me over to show me how much work had to be done . The entire engine and exhaust with transmission had to be dropped in order to replace the timing belt.Now i know what other shops were saying about knowledge and skill. I'm really happy that the owner called me over in the middle of work so that i could see it for myself.I'm very happy with the way i was treated,and i definitely will recomend this place to whoever will ask me for a reputable mechanic. read more

Saturday i was leaving back up north and wanted to get my car checked before i took the trip. i've been hearing some squeaky noise from the front. This place was the only one that was open,since it was a holiday. After checking the vehicle,Ashly (owner)spotted that the rubber bushing was cracked on the control arm.Nowhere to get parts from,i had to drive to tampa to pick up the control arms myself,cause we weren't able to get them locally. Ashly opened his shop just for me on sunday,replaced the parts ,and iwas on my way. Now i'm back up north without any problem's. I really want to thank sarasota mechanic for his dedication,other wise i would have been stranded till monday or tuesday. thank you very much. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with Ashly's service. I don't know much about cars and I'm always afraid of mechanics taking advantage of my ignorance and having me pay for services that my car doesn't actually require. NOT ONLY did he charge me HALF of what another mechanic asked for replacing my brakes-he was also very patient with me coming up with more and more things that worried me about my car-he took a look at everything and fixed every little thing he came across that was wrong. He was generous with his time and knowledge-answering even my most amateur questions. This was no-bull, quick, professional and affordable service and I feel extra-safe driving my car, which drives like a dream, by the way. read more

We drove down to Sarasota from Clearwater to see a show and our minivan began to shake and decelerate. It was in the middle of a rainy Saturday afternoon and the one Mazda dealer was not able to see us. So I looked up on my cell phone and blindly chose Sarasota Mechanic due it's high rating. We were extremely pleased at the service that Ashly gave us. He was willing to work with our schedule so we didn't miss the show, very prompt, helpful, honest and went above and beyond to try to solve our problem. If i could give him ten stars I would!!! Being from out of town we felt very fortunate to find such as honest and helpful mechanic. Thank you Ashly!! read more

Ashley is the BEST!! I have been to many auto mechanics over the years and Ashley is 5 star!!! He is honest, fair and knowledgeable. We are new to Sarasota and we needed a good mechanic. The check engine light went on in my car. Not only did Ashley correct the problem, but he explained all the options. His goal was to make sure my car was safe to drive without spending hundreds of dollars on unnecessary repairs. Ashley knows his business. He is well trained and explains what needs to be done with your car. I am not a mechanic, so I need someone I can trust. We appreciate Ashley and his expertise. If you need a great mechanic go to Ashley! read more

Another amazing experience. The job was going to take a few hours and I didn't have a ride home. Ashly didn't hesitate and offered to drive me back to my apartment when the job was done he came and picked me up. I've never heard of such a thing. I'm sure he doesn't have time to do it everyday but it was a special touch. Customer service at it's finest. He also went above and beyond and gave a full diagnostics and let me know what should be fixed before I go on a long road trip in a few weeks. This is the second time I've brought my car to him and will continue to bring all my cars to him. He is not only a master mechanic but a truly good person. read more

This place is very close to my house. I drive by this place every day. From outside place looks well maintained, so one day i went in for my car to be diagnosed,since it was loosing coolant. Ashly is the owners name was very friendly,and showed me where the coolant was leaking from. Water pump on my 97 bmw 740il,was the culprit. I gave the guys the go ahead and replace it. That was a month ago,and i dont have any problems with my vehicle. I also called couple places around the area to get a quote for the job,and this place was charging me less than other places were quoting me. I will definitely do business with them again,and thank you read more

After my experience with nissan dealer,i took my car to this place. Ashly went thru my car and said that i dont need the parts that dealer said i did. Dealer quoted me around 600.00 for mounts i didnt need. Ashly showed me the parts that dealer wanted to replace and said that theres nothing wrong with them,especially since its a fairly new car with not many miles. 80.00 dollars was one mount that needed to be replaced,not, 600.00 like dealer wanted. I tought the guy was wrong since dealer diagnosed the problems, but he showed me and explained to me. This is an honest mechanic that i will recommend to friends and family. read more

Best mechanic in the area hands down. Just brought my sons first car in, 01 Accord V6. Ashley gave a fair price and showed us the replaced motor mounts upon completion. I have taken my F150 4x4 to him in the past and he fixed a simple issue at a fraction of the price of several other quotes. The other quotes were for full engine and transmission overhauling and he fixed it with a simple tune and removing broken plugs. A year and a half later trucks still runs like new, never needed motor or transmission overhaul. If you want fair and honest, this is your mechanic in Sarasota read more

Great Business! I bought 2002 MLS 320 Mercedes Benz few months ago. Love the car, but maintenance in The Service Center are very expensive. Ashly changed the oil, battery, did diagnostic and fixed many minor problems on my car. The A/C was making knocking noise, he took his time and fixed it without charging me additionally. Very honest, knowledgeable mechanic and very fair price. Highly recommended! Very happy with the service! Keep maintenance on my cars with Auto Repair of Sarasota gives me guaranty to be save on a road. read more

Ashley is the best mechanic around! He goes out of his way to make sure your auto repair needs are met with 100% satisfaction and is extremely honest, offering suggestions and explaining them in layman terms...he is top notch and has the most reasonable prices around. I haven't used anyone else since I was referred to Sarasota Mechanic and it's been over 3 years. Don't look any further if you need an excellent mechanic, who is courteous, honest, knowledgeable has very reasonable prices you just found him! Thank you Ashley you rock!! read more

"A man of his words"...that's who exactly Ash is. I've never felt so happy leaving an auto service business. Everything was great. Excellent with costumers! I had my Mercedes Benz due for SMOG and it failed due to the check engine light on my dashboard. Dealer quoted 2k for fixing the issues, went to Ash and got it fixed for around 200 bucks. Definitely worth my money and time. Going back for oil change and other stuff. Great service! Knowledgeable mechanic! Very fair prices!!! Highly recommended! read more

Great service! Honest and affordable. Would highly recommend it. I have 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 2dr Convertible. Car had so many electrical problems that no one can figure out, the last time I took it to the dealer for the same thing and spent $3,000 with no real fix. They fixed it fast for much less money. It looks good and runs like new for an year now. Their maintenance service is outstanding! They help me a lot to feel save on a road. Great service! read more

I'm so glad I found Sarasota Mechanic TECHS! Mitchel Mata and his team are truly top-notch--honest, fair, and dependable. They never try to push unnecessary repairs and always explain exactly what needs to be done and why. The pricing is more than fair, and the work is solid and professional. It's rare to find a mechanic you can trust these days, but this shop is the real deal. Highly recommend for anyone in Sarasota looking for a mechanic they can rely on! read more

I took my RAV4 to Ashley when a warning light came on that indicated a possible engine problem. Turned out it was caused by a loose gas cap. I was a little sheepish about not realizing there was a simple fix for this problem, and Ashley could have recommended a costly solution. He didn't. Instead, he charged me nothing. I previously had brake pads replaced at a very reasonable price. I will definitely return to this reliable and honest mechanic. read more
