Jim, the owner, was incredibly honest and helpful. My maintenance light came on, and after checking the car, he let me know that nothing needed to be done. He reset everything for me and sent me on my way--really appreciate the transparency and great service. read more

Went in to repair an issue with the drivers side tire. It was vibrating and I could feel something was wrong. Paid to have a lot of work done but the issue with the tire remained the same. No doubt that work they found needed to be done, but the guy said the tire is still an issue when he handed me the keys. I noticed that every time I break now the steering wheel starts to shake back and forth on its own which didn't happen until after the repairs. Kind of scratching my head thinking did I pay for every problem except the one that I wanted to fix and did I inherit a new problem as a result? It's a good shop and they do excellent work but it's the first time I've walked out feeling like something isn't right. read more

Brought in my car to get the oil leak fixed was told they would handle it the car sat in the shop for over a month and a half paid 2000 dollars for it to be done got it back oil was still leaking after I paid the money I was told it wasn't fixable scummy mechanics read more

Beware! Got an oil change here for $120 and they didn't even replace the oil filter! Disappointed and will not return.

amazing service. went in for a new thermostat. they fit me in. Next morning I thought there was a leak, they checked it and showed me that it was just residual. read more

Great service at this business, no nonsense and they do not try to sell anything you don't need. Highly recommend

The other day a couple of warning lights came on in my Honda. I looked through the owner's manual to see if it would give me a clue. No. I went online for help, everybody seemed to point to needing a new battery. I brought it to one of the stores that run a quick diagnostic on the battery. She said the battery was good, but I might have the alternator checked and she recommended Ultimate Auto. I made an appointment and brought it in the on the proper day. They took the car (it was a drop-off) and got to it before lunch and called me. There is nothing wrong with the battery or the alternator, but they did do a reset to the car and the lights were now off. I told them about a month ago, I had the oil changed and the oil change place wanted to put on a new *something* gasket for $250. Like I was going to let an oil change place that would hire somebody like me to change the oil..really? No. The checked everything again later in the day and said, nothing was needed. I went to pick up my car and there was absolutely no charge. Yes, they did not do anything but check the car and reset the lights. But they did not charge me anything! How does that even happen? I know if something does go wrong with my car, I am going to bring it back here. Plus, there is a great little Italian place just a few steps away! read more

I'd heard about Ultimate from a friend who swears by them. But I usually got my oil changed wherever there was a sale and I didn't think too much about it until I needed a headlight changed. Goodyear and Firestone wanted $135. So I took a chance and called Ultimate. Jim answered the phone and when I asked, he said, 10 bucks. And when in shock I asked him when they could do it, he said, C'mon over. So now it's the only place I go. read more

I will always give this place 5 stars. Hands down best shop in south florida. Every other place tries to screw you. Not this place. They get you in and out. They are honest. I always recommend my family and friends to go here. Every time I'm here its quick and easy. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! If you're reading this - you found your new auto shop in south florida. I would travel 2+ hours for this type of service. read more

My car wouldn't start and I needed to find a new mechanic in the area quickly. I had AAA tow it here to Ultimate, and long story short, the car started for them. They kept it overnight to make sure it would still start the next day, and when I picked it up they didn't charge me for their time at all. Everyone I spoke with there was always very nice, and I will be using them for all my car's needs from now on. read more

Outstanding on quick, Service, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Treat you like family.

I'm a repeat customer referred by my neighbor in Olympia and he has many cars. He told me about this business and EVERYTime Mike has been honest upfront and if he can't fix it he refers you to a person who can. He does business the old school way highly recommended. read more

Someone at another mechanic shop said I needed a new tire after I just bought one and got a nail in it. These guys fixed my tire in 5 minutes for $10 and are genuinely nice people who are easy to talk to too. Come in calm and respectful because these guys are heroes. It was my first visit and now i will refuse service from anywhere else. Thank you guys wish I could've tipped more! read more

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. Take your car to the dealer or somewhere else. From the moment you walk in there you can tell they don't want you to be there. They don't have any computers in the shop so if you're using a warranty good luck you'll have to make the calls your self as they only have a fax machine. They will take forever with your car and then they won't even do a good job. read more

Ultimate Auto Service - Tires Near Me - Lake Worth, Florida

This review should have been done years ago but it's never too late. So, it all started one day over 4 - 5 years ago when I brought in my old 1996 Infiniti Q45 for a vibration issue underneath as well as a brake job. Jim, the owner, was still actively "turning wrenches" at the time and he took this job personally. After over a week of troubleshooting, Jim couldn't figure out the source of the vibration but was determined to fix the problem. So, without asking me first, he proceeded in replacing some of the major parts underneath the car - about $2,000+ worth - and in the end, he still couldn't identify the problem. Nevertheless, he only charged me for the brake job! Who does that? What Jim did earned my respect, loyalty and support for him and his business. Since then, I have been a repeat customer. I often wish that car repair shops - and businesses, in general - have the type of owner like Jim in the helm. I understand that Jim no longer turns wrenches and just manages Ultimate. I only wish that he does, but as the years ago, he let the younger mechanics and techs do these functions. To this day, I would still highly recommend Ultimate Auto Care as long as Jim is still the active owner/manager because if there are any issues, I feel that he will resolve matters fairly for the customers. To be fair, I can't vouch for his current cadre to mechanics and techs, but I am assuming they're all certified to conduct repairs on both routine and complex jobs. YMMV. read more

Best service hands down. They are honest and won't do unnecessary things to make a buck.

Great, honest service at reasonable price. Thank you Carl for installing my trailer hitch to my wife's Lexus NX200T for our bike rack that we purchased online. Also tire repairs are a breeze! Always have had service with a smile. 5-10 minute tire repair in and out! Carl, Johnny and Jim are great! Great neighborhood auto repair read more

Amazing service and assistance. They went well above and beyond to help us get our car back running so that we could get home. I highly recommend this company. read more

Received amazing service and prompt help. These is an honest auto shop deserve to be recognized for it. I walked in for some help and was advised to check in with another auto shop to see if I could get a better solution to my tire/wheel situation. Turns out that other shop recommended I stick with Ultimate for a quick fix. Hats off to this place! read more

My son had got an outrageous estimate for repair at Auto Nation just down the road. I then called Ultimate Auto service and spoke with Mike, he right away told me the approx. cost which was less then half of the price of auto nation. Had the car towed over on a Saturday and the work was finished by closing time. I spoke with 3 employees while I was waiting in the office, they were all very friendly and most helpful. I would highly recommend this place for car service. They seemed hard working and honest with fair prices. Thank you for the great service on the blue Malibu! read more

Jim, Ryan, and entire crew are courteous and professional. Fair priced repairs done right the first time and quicker than quoted. I have taken all my cars here for several years. Finally needed to review after they did an emergency repair in one day when I needed car for a planned vacation. Highly recommend! read more

Just moved to Lake Worth & was looking for my new mechanic in the area. Brought my car here based on Yelp reviews & proximity to the new house. Jim was extremely honest, straight-forward & transparent. My car lost most of it's coolant. His team flushed the radiator hose & it cleared the problem right up. He could have sold me additional & unnecessary services & I probably would not have known better. I had my car back later on the same day, good as new. Very honest family-owned business. read more

Old school automotive shop... not suits behind the scenes but actually owned and operated by true mechanics.... I will recommend and continue to use ... Jim was a great person to deal with . thank you read more

These guys aren't good. Had a dashboard light on. They kept the car for three days and all they did was reset the sensor. The light went back on the next day. I took it somewhere else and had the module properly replaced. Don't waste your time with these boobs. There's no shortage of garages in the area. read more

I've been going to Ultimate Auto Service since 2006. This place was recommended to me by a friend as I was searching for an honest and rightly priced auto shop. Well I found it! Honest? Rightly priced? Great Service? Yes! Yes! and Yes! Mentioning Honest and rightly priced in the same sentence with an auto repair shop is like saying honest and truthful with lawyers. lol. But Ultimate Auto is that place! As I stated I've been coming here since 2006 and will continue to go here until I move, if I ever do. They have always been honest with me with what is wrong with my vehicles and have never tried to sell me, or overcharge me for anything more than what I needed. How do I know this? Because I have someone who is a retired mechanic that always takes a look at my car before I bring it. Ultimate Auto always mentions the exact same problems that my mechanic friend says. This place gives you a fair and decent price for their work. Where the car dealers and other auto shops I've gone to make you hand over your whole paycheck to them, this place does not. The managers at this place are wonderful! Jim is always such a pleasure to deal with and always takes care of me. It's nice to go to a place where they treat you like a valued customer! I highly recommend Ultimate Auto Service for your car needs read more

I'm not sure what rating to give this business. It doesn't deserve a bad rating based on one employee. But because of said employee I will not return to this business. A little backstory on my situation: I had an issue with intermittent starting in my car. It was not a predictable issue, I was told it was fixed but I still experienced the issue after bringing it here. I understand an issue like this is not the easiest to diagnose but I paid to have an issue fixed and it was not. My issue isn't with the work done it's with the absolute lack of people skills one of their employees are missing. Jim specifically. I'm unsure if he's in charge of answering the phones but I rarely spoke to anyone else. (Though when I did they were much more professional.) read more

I absolutely do not recommend this place! Found out the damaged a rotor while replacing the brakes. Also insisted that I pay before I got to the shop... Now I know why! Very shady and dishonest. read more

It took a while to find a good shop when I moved up from Ft Lauderdale to the Wellington area but the guys here have come through. I would definitely recommend read more

Worst establishment ever. Jim, the owner, was an extremely rude and unprofessional New Yorker. After oil change my car lost all brake fluids. Owner completely denies having any issues with car and was bullying me as a customer over the phone. He was singing a song "I didn't break you caaaar" and then he basically told me to take it to BMW dealerships and pay them bunch of money. read more

We have been taking our cars to Ultimate for 20 years. Never had an issue they could not fix and never felt taken advantage of. Now my 3 daughters take their cars there and always are treated well. Jim, Mike and Ryan are all down to earth guys who deliver great customer service. read more

I thought about sending Jim a thank you card but I think it's probably more valuable to share it with you, my dear Yelpers, so you can thank him and his crew too. This place is the real deal. Arriving from Boston to visit my father in law I was freaked out by how poorly his Camry was running- chugging and lagging and choking along ; at 200K it's still going but on the cut throat boulevards of West Palm to loose your acceleration could cost you your life- red lights are for sissy's and lanes are suggestions so getting out of the way is paramount! He's not really on his game right now and thus has no idea the last time he had a tune up. Yelping around where I was trying to grocery shop I see this place- 5 stars? I call. Yes, they will see us. Come on by. Thank you. We pull in to a full parking lot. 4 bays full of cars, people waiting and still, some one goes and checks the car within five minutes of us pulling in. Thank you. Verdict- we need a tune up. Badly. And maybe a "Blah blah" which is an extra $100. "But it's not gonna happen today!" oh. And then he says, "wait a minute" and goes to call some places, comes back and says- ok. You may or may not need this but I ordered it and we can get this done. Thank you. We go shopping, come back. Car's done. Thank you No extra $100 blah blah needed. Thank you. In sum: Car runs great. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I called & spoke to Mike for a quote on replacing a starter on my 2007 Dodge Caliber. I told him I'd previously gotten a quote from Palm Beach Tire in WPB for $225 - but they were closed Sundays. He told me $330, then said I could buy the part but he wouldn't warranty it. The part is less than $100 at Auto Zone and it's an hour and 15 minute job! So, I should pay this guy $230 for 1.16 hours of labor? He tried to BS me off the phone; about whether I was quoted for a poor quality starter, etc. DON'T BELIEVE EVERY REVIEW YOU READ! CALL FIRST! read more

Jim at Ultimate Auto has helped me and my family with service for many years. Every transaction has been explained up front. I can't remember anything ever changing for the worse after we've left one of our cars behind. I trust them because of their ability to make sense of what's needed to keep my cars running safely and efficiently. I've recommended Ultimate Auto to friends and they've always done a great job. I'll continue to do so. Most of all their work is excellent and they've always treated me honestly. I only wish I could give them more than 5 STARS. read more

I have had work done on both of my cars over the years. Jim is a great guy. He has his heart and soul in his business. There are many good mechanics in this establishment. Only had one mis-diagnostic which was a nightmare. they missed the real problem. After chasing 4 parts they figured it out. anyway, I sold that car soon after.... Stay away from" Mike" his manager / partner. He is Nasty, Rude and a complete phony. Great location. Jim needs to make changes. At this stage in his life, he is stuck with what is. We all here at Wycliff like to save money... but it's getting worrisome. Francisco works on a lot of Benz's and BMW... and is good. I want to sleep at night, not worry if work is done right. Mike needs to go. at any cost. read more

I have been using Ultimate Auto Service here and there for little things and have always had an amazing experience. Today could've been a bad day but they helped me out above and beyond what they needed to do! Everyone I dealt with there from phone calls to the repair was outstanding, helpful and honest. Thank you to the guys at Ultimate Auto! read more

The staff at Ultimate Auto are wonderful. They will not charge you for unnecessary things. Several times we have taken our cars there, there are no major issues and they don't even charge us for looking at the vehicle! read more

Always there when I need them. Thanks, Mike and your staff for a last minute call and you came to the rescue.

I just have to take a moment to say how great this business is. They have been taking care of our cars for a few years now. I have become so conditioned to be ready to do battle against mechanics who over sell and pressure me but from the first interaction, these guys have always shot us straight. No B.S., no pushing other services or pressuring us into other "fixes". One time I even showed up without an appointment and they fixed my brakes while I waited so I could get to work! Class act guys! So happy to have a neighborhood shop that is always willing to help, is pleasant to work with, and is so reasonable! Thanks Jim, Mike, Dusty, Johnny, Ryan and the rest of the Ultimate family! You guys rock! read more

Stopped in here because the tire pressure light went on in our car. They checked the pressure, added air, didn't charge us (we gave a nice tip). All this was done with a smile. Sometimes the best business is gotten from small things like this. We will bring our car here from now on and tell anyone who needs a good local place. Very impressed. read more

Thank you at ultimate Auto service. Out of towers that needed work done they were nice quick and really decent price. I love yelp!
