Auto repair service near Englewood, FL

Used to love this place. At my last visit I was charged for the estimate. The price quoted for a new catalytic converter was well over $1200.00, which I declined. I went to a Volvo dealer back home who charged less than $500.

I made an appointment on Saturday showing an 8:00am appointment available on Tuesday. Received call and email this morning (Monday) that that time was not available. If the system had not let me make the appointment I would have made another with someone else. 3 days of time now lost.

Extremely friendly and helpful folks starting at the front office and continuing with the owner/operator Walt and his team. I arrived without an appointment for an unexpected and much-needed repair. After a brief wait, the problem was fixed and weeks later I can confirm there are no issues. Friendly folks and great quality service. I will be back. Jim T. Punta Gorda, FL

JUST A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS , DID AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD AND MY VOLVO IS RUNNING SMOOTH . MARLIN THE OWNER KNOWS HIS TRADE . MANY THNANKS TO THE WHOLE TEAM .

very disappointed. I've found and fixed the issue you were unable to . Spring rate and crack pressure setting were the culprit. Went from a yellow spring to a purple in the forge actuator and turned down the crack pressure from 15 to 13. Whats upsetting though is that a bolt was missing from the actuator, so I had to spend ~300 for a new one as well as finding that you had ground down the actuator mount on the turbo when you said you had not. You also broke a mounting bolt used to hold down the turbo blanket. I would expect a much high level of service and competency from a shop charging the rate you do.

Absolutely horrible service. I went in for two new tires, and he came back in and threw the handle on the desk to my driver door. He claimed it wasn't his fault even though there wasn't anything wrong with it to start with, I was in for new tires. He refused to pay for it. Later I also noticed a scratched hubcap and a scratch on my car he did. It cost $120 to fix the handle. Months later he came in my work at Publix and harassed me while I was his cashier for leaving a bad review, even though he did horrible work with a horrible attitude (acted like he wanted to fight me and kept yelling at me). This is definitely not a Christian environment or a competent mechanic, take your business elsewhere if you value your vehicle.
