From gear shit replacement, brakes, tires, etc, they have never let me down. I also have found them to not overcharge the way other businesses have been known to do. I recommend them to anyone new to the general South Sarasota/North Charlotte Counties area. A good family business that proudly stands behind the family name that has earned respect of many in the greater Venice/Englewood/Nokomis areas.

I made an appointment to have the oil changed at 1:00 on a Friday and it went really well. The service writer was very helpful and courteous. It took about 45 minutes and the cost was reasonable. No upsell, no delay, just quick service. I overhear several phone calls with customers while I was waiting that sounded very professional and honest. The waiting room was the cleanest that I have ever experienced in a small shop like this. They had water and seltzer in a mini fridge. They also had a Kurig for coffee. I recommend them to anyone needing service. Thanks for a great service experience.

After doing my research, I decided to give Curry Auto a try, & I couldn't be happier. Steve, welcomed myself & every customer walking through their busy door.

I'm an "old school lady" that used to work in the auto business, & I really appreciated NOT being fleeced by Big Corporate business!

Cost was very reasonable - much less than the dealer quote. This year I returned to ask about a worrisome brake noise. He checked it out immediately and explained what was happening and how to deal with it. He declined any payment even though he spent about 45 minutes with me. Dave is a truly honest man and a great mechanic. His garage is my first choice for auto service.

Dave is just one honest mechanic. I had a tire that was giving me fits...it had a slow leak that I…read morecould not locate for the life of me. I first went to Mavis and two young guys looked at the tire and said it could not be repaired; tire had to be replaced. What I found interesting was one of the two said "I see the screw causing the leak and it is definitely unrepairable." The irony was he wasn't even pointing to the sheetrock screw the other kid identified. So they gave me a price of $279 installed for a new tire... I left and remembered seeing this little garage listed on Yelp, "Dave's Garage" and that's where I headed. Dave was by himself today and some guy had an appointment so he politely said, pull the Buick in, the guy is a half hour late already. He took the tire off, repaired it and proceeded to tell me his stories. He has had quite a past. But he has been operating in Venice for 19 years. As he finished the repair and another story, he said $20 sir. I gave him $25 and said $20 for the repair and a small tip for entertaining me today. All I can say is this guy is the real deal; a throwback to my childhood 60+ years ago when I used to hang out at McWilliams Garage near my house. Honest, highly qualified, and full of life's stories. He's a great mechanic and a good person.

We needed work on both vehicles, chose to visit Horst's Barvarian Autoworks, based on reviews, even though we do not own a German vehicle. We are delighted we did. A-1 SERVICE! Owner Horst met us on our inquiry visit, I decided to try them. Now living in FL, my classic 1990 Miata needed AC coolant refreshed. Unfortunately, I learned that meant an AC conversion to R-134 (from old ozone impacting refrigerant). The work was done as promised and the price was VERY GOOD! Everyone at Horst's Barvarian is client focused, from the office team, mechanics, and of course Horst himself. Two days later we had our other car undergo routine service, another positive experience complete with proactively offered honest suggestions. Try Horst's Barvarian Autoworks, you will be pleased.
