I used to recommend this business but my recent experience gives me doubts. The business was sold to a corporation and there were several new people and, I'M sure, all of their customer service and accounting software changed. I always got treated well and was happy with the quality of my service. I waited an hour for a simple oil change. The price was right based on synthetic oils but I will probably go back to my usual place. read more

Outstanding! Eight year old SUVruns like it's brand new. Friendly, polite and professional. I'm a customer for life!

Thurs. Aug 14, 2025: My 2003 Toyota Tundra overheated driving up 95 at around 70 MPH (or close to that speed - grin). I immediately pulled over and shut off the engine - I knew I had a small water leak as I had to add a little water every couple of days. I just hadn't gotten ARTI (around to it) to fix it. Oh yea, I restarted the engine just long enough to see if it had seized - it had not. Since I was closer to Rockledge than to my truck's normal mechanic, Farlows Automotive, located in Melbourne, I had it towed to Schlenker's. The Brevard Towing driver restarted it and drove onto the Jerry-Dan tow bed. Now BTW, I'd use Schlenker's numerous times - Before Schlenker's Was Sold. For those past visits to Schlenkers, work was done on my truck, my sisters car,and my wife's car. The work was the usual, some regular maintenance, and even some major work. - please remember, this was before the shop was sold. For the work they performed over several years, I was very satisfied, even happy, with their work (and cost!). Fri. Aug15th: I received a call from Schlenker's that consisted of "You need a new engine" and "it had no fluid in it". Well my reaction was $@%^. The "no fluid" to me meant water AND oil. OK, I forgot to mention, the rear seal had been weeping a little, but the cure of that was a lot more $$ than just adding a quart or so every 3000 mile oil change. Look, the truck had over 290k miles on her. Just a An rear seal replacement costs like over $,000 with engine removal/reinstall. A replacement if needed, would be range from north of $,000 to $0,000, if we could even find another Tundra engine. Anyway, this situation called for a second opinion - especially since the engine had been restarted by me, AND the tow guy when he drove it onto the tow truck. I called Farlow's and arranged for my truck to be towed to them over the weekend. I spent Saturday looking for a Tundra 4.7 liter engine. FINALLY found a used one in Calif. It came out of a truck with 140K miles on it - $2,400 delivered to Melb. Monday AUG 18th: Farlow's called me. The radiator was cracked and the seal for the thermostat housing was leaking. I had them do a compression check just to see - all eight cylinders were within spec. I said fix it. And I added a few other items to the work order. Tuesday AUG 19th: Fallow's called. My fabulous old truck was ready. They had replaced the radiator, new gasket for the thermostat, all new plugs and coils (#7 had been acting up), oil and filter change, checked and charged the AC, AND put in a new battery (old Diehard was over 4 yrs old) for less than the used engine would have cost delivered from Calif. I was grinning. Cost to be told I needed a new engine - $139.05 - wonder what the nickel was for...Taxes probably. Cost to cure - Less that the $$ for the ONLY engine I and the guys at Farlow's could find. They had searched on Friday, before actually seeing the truck. The final cure was A LOT less! Picture me GRINNING! read more

Deceitful shop one day after they did the alignment on my truck they lost the paperwork. Said they don't store the information. Come to find out they don't have the equipment to fix a 3500 Chevrolet truck. That's why there's no paperwork. How can you do a torsion bar adjustment and an alignment on a truck that is too big by your own definition and words. Leaving me with a worse than I brought it truck since they replaced wheel bearings which have failed on gatto's tires diagnostics machine on the following day after picking up my vehicle at Joe Hudson collision in rockledge Florida. Showing an open circuit preventing my anti-lock brakes from working. Metal bits all over the wheel bearing assembly. Truck pull dangerously to the right. Keep in mind the truck was in a collision resulting in damage. They did a very terrible job claimed to have replaced parts that they did not front shocks. How could they be in business I can't be the only one. read more

See all

TRIED TO RIP ME OFF!!! Recommended services I DID NOT need done. Exorbitant quote for the service I did need to the tune of over $1,000. Decided to get another opinion from a different, honest, auto repair shop a friend recommended. They did the work for me for $340, which was less than the price Schlenker quoted me for just the part I needed. And did an EXCELLENT job!!!! Never going to Schlenker again! They are not who they used to be. read more

Reliable general auto mechanic in Rockledge. Always fair, trustworthy, and convenient.

Again, another huge shout out to Schlenker's Automotive! Dropped of my daughters car for battery issues and routine oil and tire change. Rob, reached out to me to share with me that some of the maintenance things that are coming up may want to be taken care of sooner than later. NO PRESSURE. Just shared with me that brakes were really close to needing replacing as well as two tires and there was a sensor that had gone out as well. I elected to have it all taken care of now, because, of course, it's my daughter driving the car and I want her as safe as I can. Oh, and by the way, the battery was under warranty, and it was replaced! Can't say enough about Lou, Shelly, Rob and Don all all the guys! 1st class service! Thanks again! read more
