Toyota service near Fort Pierce, FL

I had just completed a 10 hour drive to Vero Beach. Along the way there were a couple of times when the traffic on the interstate came to an abrupt stop. I had to brake very hard to avoid hitting the car in front of me. By the time I got to Vero, my brake pedal seemed to go very close to the floor and it felt like it was taking longer to stop the car. I am not normally a worry wart. Mechanical things don't usually scare me. But... when it feels like the brakes aren't working as well as they should, I do get a little concerned. So, I looked for a place that I could have my brakes checked out. In recent years I have tried to give my business to small, local businesses instead of the big national chains. I found Mark's. I called and spoke to Josh. I could tell that he was very busy. he could schedule an appointment the next day, but I was driving back to North Carolina the next day and really needed someone to just check the brakes. As I was about to say thanks and try to find someone else to help, he reluctantly said he could look at the car if I could get there in 30 minutes. I felt really bad about this because he clearly was busy. He probably had cars that he had committed to completing that day. And he was taking the time to try to help me. That was excellent customer service. Well, for me it was good! If I slowed down someone else's car, not so good for them. I immediately took the car to Mark's. Josh was awesome. Very nice. Very polite. He did a spot check of all the wheels to look at the brakes. He checked the brake fluid and (master cylinder???) Then he took the car for a drive. When he came back he said that the brakes seemed fine. He tried hard stops, soft stops and everything in between. He said that personally, he would have no worries about driving the car with the brakes. That gave me a tremendous amount of peace of mind. As I drove away and began "testing" my brakes I realized that maybe I had overreacted to the condition of my brakes. Maybe after driving for 10 hours with relatively few instances where I had to stop, once I got off the interstate maybe I was simply underestimating how long it would take me to stop. I don't know. But, my brakes do seem fine now. I am a big believer in customer service. I will pay more to take my business to someone that appreciates me as a customer and treats me fairly. (Note: Josh did not charge me for examining the brakes and the test drive so, I don't actually know what the pricing schedule is at Mark's.) In the future, I will take my car to Mark's.

The job was quick and employees made the process simple. Haven't been able to find prices comparable to them locally. I'm happy to support this mom and pop shop and will most definitely be back for an oil change soon!

High quality auto repair in Jensen Beach FL

He has been my mechanic for over 15 years. I've brought in everything from junkers to high quality european sports cars. Major repairs or small, custom work to standard maintenance, he does it all. He's a mechanic you can trust. His pricing is reasonable and his work is top quality.

Avoid this place like the plague. I took my car after asking for an appointment to replace a specific Air Conditioner part and agreeing on a price. 3 hours later I get a phone call telling me that the repair can't be done for the price THEY HAD QUOTED ME, that it was going to take at least 8 hours. I tell them to put the car back together and that I want my car back. After I got it back, the A/C diverter for the feet on the passenger side was under the passenger seat and the screws were missing, also missing were the screws for the glove compartment. I ask to speak to the service director (Jerry Martinelli) who basically told me that he wasn't interested in my side of the story and that he wasn't going to listen to me. I own 3 toyotas and a lexus and live within 5 miles of that dealership. I will never again set foot on your place nor will I buy another toyota from you. Multiple calls to Dom or Denise have not been answered

Best in the business. Excellent pricing and honest staff! I have been coming here for years and I wouldn't trust my car to another shop!
