Engine repair service near Fort Myers Beach, FL

I have been going to Pine Island Auto Care for over two years now. A neighbor friend told me about them and I liked what she said. So far, they have worked on 2 cars, a Diesel truck and a diesel motor home for me. On every occasion I have been most pleased and pleasantly surprised by their prices and quality of work. They charged me a small fraction of what the RV dealer did for the same services and repair, plus they actually warranty their work. While I no longer own the motor home, I still have my other vehicles serviced at Pine Island Auto Care. They continue to treat me much better than I was accustomed to elsewhere and they even give me a ride home, if I need to leave a vehicle off. I have told my friends about this shop and so far, everyone has only positive things to say about them. Very Professional and Reliable, at reasonable prices. Who could ask for more? Keep up the great work. Five Stars !

I've used Coastland Automotive to mechanically service my 2001 Porsche 911 for a few years. I'm happy to report they are knowledgeable, prompt, courteous and price competitive. The waiting room, which I use for each visit, is clean, comfortable and welcoming. They get a two thumbs up from my discerning point of view. You should give them a try without hesitation. I have not experienced or seen any of the negative reports that I find listed on this site written by some others. And be assured, I am a true patron, not an employee. Dr. A

The staff at Till's Import Car Clinic took care of my car in such a reasonable time and did not price me as much as I was expecting.

This is the place to take your vehicle. Really. I had no idea where to go when my BMW's computers shut down several weeks ago, other than the costly service dept at the BMW dealer. The alternator and battery, which ended up being the root cause, also gave up the ghost at the same time. As did the coolant reservoir. Most everything is packed into the engine compartment and takes many hours to diagnose, remove, and replace. Not to mention the cost of the parts. I received open ended estimates from the BMW dealer in Fort Myers as well as an independent shop. It was pretty bleak and little hope was offered regarding the health of the computer system in the car. The projected repair costs were in the multi thousands. A neighbor suggested I call Kellyn at Karr Automotive. I did and he spent quality time with me listening to the problems. Along with the computer shutting down and dead battery, I mentioned that there was also a loud rattling and that the car has seemed sluggish since I purchased (the just out of warranty) car several years ago. No shops had been able to figure that out and I just lived with bad performance. I mentioned that the dealer suggested the main computer and specialized software were the problem, and needed other expensive diagnostic testing. Kellyn didn't think so and said to bring it in and he'd figure the situation out. I had it flatbedded to Karr Automotive the next day. Surprisingly Kellyn had researched all the issues before I got there and went right to work on the car. When I picked it up a few days later I was amazed at how well the car ran! No more rattle, no more sluggishness. It was like a new car and fun to drive! He'd also ended up replacing the water pump and found failed seals in the crankcase vent valves. The internal pressure in the engine was compounding on itself and causing the sluggishness. Wow, what difference! And the bill? It was about 5 times less expensive than I'd been quoted from the BMW dealer. And they didn't even know about the other items he found and fixed. And it certainly didn't need a new computer or software as had been promoted by the dealer. After I picked it up, I drove it to the Keys the next day. It ran like a top! Love it again! This has been long winded, but I really wanted to speak to the thoroughness of Karr Automotive's attention to my car and how they researched the entire group of problems and fixed the issues completely. Any mechanic can put in a water pump or plug in a new computer unit. Kellyn put in the extra effort to solve the issue as a whole, rather than piece by piece. Lastly, people are often deceived by auto mechanics pretending to listen and who then hand them a large bill surprise at pickup time. You will find Karr Automotive an honest, respectful, and attentive repair facility for any type of vehicle. 5 stars in my book for sure.

I have been bringing my cars, 2005 Chryser Crossfire, 2010 GLK 350 and 2012 GLK 350 to Better Cars for service and repairs. The staff and service were excellent, the price was reasonable, and all the services provided were explained thoroughly by Dennis, I highly recommend them!

Wayne is awesome!!! He did such an amazing job with our car. Our alternator went out and we could not figure out the issue. Called Wayne, and did a thorough research....save us THOUSANDS! Plus he's mobile! It doesn't get any better than that! Very professional and such a nice guy. I recommend him to everyone I know :)

They were a breath of fresh air and answered all my questions honestly which made me feel extremely comfortable and confident with this shop!! My car was done on time as premises and looked better than new. Local owned and operated - trust me and give them your business because it's the best quality I've ever seem locally .

took my truck in for a service and got my tires rotated they did a complete safety check for free which included my brakes, wipers, tires and all fluids. the customer service is great, a must try.

I thought my 2003 Audi A4 Cabriolet 3.0 CVT was having transmission issues - as it would shake and vibrate at low speed. The early Audi CVT transmissions are notoriously bad and I figured mine was shot. I called VAP and spoke to the owner, Mark, on the phone and described my issue. He told me to bring the car in. He to,d me right up front that if it was tge transmission, they are hard to find and costly to rebuold, about $ 4000.00. From my research on the internet, this price was spit on. We left the car there in April of 2015 and returned to our home up north. A week later Marl called and said that the transmission was fine, the engine eas misfiring on 3 cylinders, and that he had fixed the problem. The bill - $600.00. While he had the car I had them replace tge timing belt and water pump as well as the transmission fluid, all reccommended maintainence by Audi at 100,000 miles - which was where my car was at, as well as an oil change. The total bill came to $2800.00. I was very pleased. The car runs great. Last week we were down and the check engine light came on. I called Mark and he to,d me to bring the car in and he would check it for me. He hooked it up to the computer as soon as we arrived and said it was a nothing to be concerned about and he reset the onboard computer. There was no charge. This is an honest shop run by very nice people. I will never take my car anywhere else.

My Honda Gold Wing was covered with Kilz Spray paint. The local Honda dealer wanted to total the bike out. A call was made to Flecha Automotive. The management and staff immediately made arrangements to transport the motorcycle to their facility. They worked with my insurance company to get approval for repairs. The repairs were timely performed and the motorcycle looks good as new. I have nothing but praise for this facility and their staff.
