Farrow Automotive Repair I have a 1950 Chevy Panel Van with…read morea 1972 Oldsmobile 350 engine. I have owned the truck for several years and have done all the work on the truck myself. As time went on the truck's performance went down. I am not a mechanic, and it was time for professional help. We had our car service at Farlow Automotive back in March. Farlow made our six-year-old car run like new. The work done on our car was great, so I proceeded to take my truck to Farlow. Trusting in an automotive shop these days is rare, but I felt I was dealing with an honest establishment. I drop my truck off and tell them to fix everything that needs fixing. Anyone who knows me will tell you this is not like myself to make this kind of statement. The mechanic assigned to my truck was Ralph. I went down after a few days to talk to Ralph, and he told me what needed fixing. We have a little back and forth and it dawns on me that Ralph knows his "Stuff"! Also, he loves working on old vehicles. Ralph, shows me the work completed up to this point and what else has to be done. He shows me a vacuum leak coming from the manifold and tells me this is affecting the engine's performance. To tell you the truth I did not know about the truck running on a vacuum system. Ralph goes through the truck, flushes the radiator, flushes the transmission installed new filter, changed cap, wirespoints and plugs, flushes the brake fluid, fixes my power steering problem by adding a new belt just for the power steering pump and a whole bunch of necessary work. Now my truck is running like new, it is like I dropped off a 4 cylinder, and they gave me back an 8 cylinder. In closing all I can say that if you are looking for an honest shop look no further. Not only are they honest but very friendly, which I like, there is a good vibe at Farlow. Make sure you ask for Ralph, he is an all-star in my book.

Let me start at the beginning…read more 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 $$ than just adding a quart or so every 3000 mile oil change. Look, the truck had over 290k miles on her. Just a An rear seal replacement costs more than $,000 with engine removal/reinstall. A replacement if needed, would be range from north of $,000 to $0,000, if we could even find another Tundra engine. Anyway, this situation called for a second opinion - especially since the engine had been restarted by me, AND the tow guy when he drove it onto the tow truck. I called Farlow's and arranged for my truck to be towed to them over the weekend. I spent Saturday looking for a Tundra 4.7 liter engine. FINALLY found a used one in Calif. It came out of a truck with 140K miles on it - $2,400 delivered to Melb. Monday AUG 18th: Farlow's called me. The radiator was cracked and the seal for the thermostat housing was leaking. I had them do a compression check just to see - all eight cylinders were within spec. I said fix it. And I added a few other items to the work order. Tuesday AUG 19th: Fallow's called. My fabulous old truck was ready. They had replaced the radiator, new gasket for the thermostat, all new plugs and coils (#7 had been acting up), oil and filter change, checked and charged the AC, AND put in a new battery (old Diehard was over 4 yrs old) for less than the used engine would have cost delivered from Calif. I was grinning. Cost to be told I needed a new engine - $139.05 - wonder what the nickel was for...Taxes probably. Cost to cure - Less that the $$ 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!

I can't say enough great things about this shop. I came in with what felt like a complete lemon --…read morea problem no one else could seem to figure out -- and they didn't just take a shot in the dark and send me on my way. They stayed with it. From start to finish, the team at Seaside kept me in the loop, stood behind their work, and made it clear they were committed to actually solving the issue -- not just patching it. That level of honesty and follow-through is rare. They got me safely back on the road when other places couldn't, and that's not something I take lightly. I'll absolutely be coming back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right the first time.

LIAR - Do NOT trust Mike Goldberg Both my husband and I have…read morebeen using Seaside Auto for 12 years, but never again. I usually schedule our service with Roger (co-owner) but he was not working when I called to have a tire looked at. After looking at the tire Mike told me that it could not be patched and needed to be replaced. Of course he put the fear of God in me when I said that I wasn't prepared to replace the tire and asked to just add air to it, he said that I could have a blowout any second. After some discussion, I reluctantly agreed to purchasing 2 new tires. I had recently purchased all 4 Michelin tires from Seaside and asked if they would offer an adjustment for the replacement. Mike said "Did I cause you to get the nail in it?" I also asked if he would apply a loyalty discount because I had previously received that, he said NO! So, he had to order the tires and told me that it would be ready the next afternoon. When I returned to pick up and pay the $550+ I told him that I would not be back because of his ugly attitude. He said "Well, you were asking for everything free!" This is EXACTLY why I said that he is a LIAR...the word free never came out of my mouth, which makes me fully believe that he can't be trusted.

Cameron kept me informed throughout the entire process and always provided updates on the status of my vehicle. They took the time to thoroughly inspect and work on my vehicle until they were satisfied that the issues with the front suspension had been completely resolved. I really appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to making sure the job was done right. I also felt that the price was fair for the work that was completed.

They use victim - speak (we just work here, don't know how to stop the quality escapes. Letters to the owner (Isaque.faria@fastlspgtoup.com) go unanswered. My examples are: 1. Reported suspension noise in right front, they found LEFT FRONT ball joints bad, replaced them but did not verify the noise before or after, it was not fixed. 2. Replaced headlights but did not adjust aim, Cameron said they cannot adjust the headlights. Turns out that they can but failed miserably. 3. Had radiator replaced and they left the air intake duct completely loose and inoperative, forgot to replace the fasteners. Obvious once the hood was opened. The front desk doesn't really understand automotive issues. They have one mechanic that diagnoses EVERYTHING and then hands the car off to another mechanic for repair but no one checks the work. They made up explanations that they don't understand. No concept that this is unacceptable. They have a C+ rating with BBB. I recommend NOT taking your vehicle there.
