I have been a customer for over 15 years. This is the best auto repair shop that I have used during the 30 years I have lived in Orlando. I am an engineer and a car guy. I do a lot of work on my cars. So, I am very impressed when the estimates I receive are accurate, fair, and reasonable. Over the past 10 years, our family has had 4 separate vehicles serviced here. We have never had a bad experience. Consistently, honest, fair and very prompt service -- and in the one case where we needed to bring the car back, they stood behind their work 100%. I cannot say enough good things about these two brothers who lead Auto Tender with integrity, professionalism, and competency. read more

Brought my car in for an oil leak, I usually don't write these but I must say I am very satisfied with my visit here. These guys work hard, are awesome, and will take very good care of your vehicles. Service was excellent , would recommend to anyone needing a repair. Cheers read more

Best customer service around . Quality workmanship . Very helpful staff Dependable business read more

Great service! I had to get my daughter car looked at for brake issues and an oil change. Very responsive, reliable and amazing service with the limited time I had to work with. I was looking to get it done while I was in the area. They worked with my timeline. Turns out the brake issue was just low fluid. Very honest auto repair place. Recommend to anyone in the UCF AREA. THANK YOU. read more

I took my 2006 highlander in to be checked after it started making a loud noise in the engine compartment. I was dreading the diagnosis as it's an older car and at the point where I have to think long and hard before dedicating significant $ to its upkeep. I got a call later that day telling me that the battery tray had become loose and shifted into the path of the radiator fan. They told me they simply slid it back into position and tightened the bolt. They also replaced a burned out bulb in the rear passenger light set. When I picked it up, they told me "no charge"! I know the repairs were minor, but it still required some labor to diagnose and fix. This isn't my first good experience with Auto Tender. They've been honest and reasonably priced every time, where they could have padded the bill and I'd have never known. read more

I started using Auto Tender years ago and noticed how many women were in the lobby having their cars fixed. This is because they are honest and don't take advantage of them. Every time I have compared the charges for a repair online, this company is right at or below the average cost. They are trustworthy and fair and have done an outstanding job on every task I have given them. The turnaround time and customer communication are outstanding! read more

I have been here multiple times for my Chevy Cruze and they treat their customers with importance, like friends. You can trust them to do what's best for your car and not try to take advantage in any way, with price or extra service add-ons. They really want you to leave happy, comfortable, & safe and I always have. I will continue to go here to service my car. read more

This was my first time using them based on a recommendation from my neighbor. I called them for brakes abs they took me the same day. They called me after looking it over and over told me I'd need brakes all around and could use new rotors. Since I'm on layoff, I told him I'd have to wait on the rotors. He was very understanding and told me if I came back while the pads were still under warranty, that he'd replace the pads when doing the rotors. His charge for the brake pads was very fair. When I picked up the car, I found out he had also replaced a burned out brake light at no extra charge. I know that's not a high-dollar item, but the gesture alone was enough to tell me what kind of place this is. read more

I have used Auto Tender since I moved down here to the Orlando area. Nick and the crew are very professional and always have a fix. I have seen other customers come in stating they were quoted for a specific repair and the guys at Auto Tender will be honest and let the customer know what really should be done and they always save me money. I am from up north and my rusty car stands no chance against Auto Tender! read more

I brought my car in for an issue causing my car to spit out codes without having any symptoms, and here's the rundown on why I will be hesitant to go back: -Took them over two weeks for diagnosis. -Upon receiving my vehicle , there was Wendys trash in it that I later found. Issue not correctly pointed out. -Went to replace a part (a second time) that I was told it was fine only to find out that such part now had a broken off piece that was there before. This indicated that the part was broken off there and I was not told about it. -A sub $100 part fixed my issue and I was told I needed a $1k+ engine engine work. read more

I came in after noticing my car was making a sound that was getting progressively worse. I was greeted by Nick right away, who was friendly and helpful. Left my car there and 3 hours later (less than originally estimated) was called with a diagnosis and told I could come pick it up! Not only did they fix the problem, but they checked the rest of the area and even checked my tires! They went above and beyond and were very friendly through it all! I'll definitely be back next time I need help. read more

I had an issue with auto tender a month ago. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt and reach out to them for a different situation on my car. I received a message to call someone back by the name of Evon. I'm thinking we going ti discuss the situation with the car, instead she decides to bring up the issue that happen a mth ago. She tells me that I called then saying it was my radiator meanwhile that's not what happened at all. She sounded upset and she's telling me I'm upset. They are not professional at all so I told her I will take my business elsewhere. I guess my first impression of them was accurate. If your car has an issue a diagnostic needs to be done to fix the issue. Instead they felt like your car needs this so we put that no that's not how it works. I actually have the conversation that i had with technician. read more

Honest people, affordable pricing, and excellent craftsmanship. The staff explained the issues, walked me through the steps they would take to fix the car, and kept me updated throughout the process without ever trying to up-sell me. read more

I've been taking my car to Auto-Tender for years and have always been more than pleased with their work,, They are without a doubt truly honest in what needs to be done and when i have had a breakdown and Triple A tells me i can get my car fixed at some closer place for a discount i tell them no thanks i simply say only Auto -Tender ,,thank you read more

I only take my car to these folks. They are honest and do quality work. Guy and Nick are pleasant to deal with.

My front headlight fell into the frame of my car and they fixed it so quickly! I came in the morning with no appointment and they had it fixed in no time and were so nice. They understood my problem and were courteous, considerate, and helpful in fixing my issue. I 100% recommended coming here and I will be coming back with any other issues that arise in the future. read more

Auto-Tender has been my dad's car repair place since I was six years old...and eighteen years later he still swears by this independently owned auto repair shop run by a guy whose name is Guy. Kinda weird. They do just about every car repair job you can think of and they're good at what they do. And they're honest...a trait that is often lacking in the automotive world. Their work is always top notch...I've never had a problem with anything. So...if you need an oil change or something a bit more extensive, Auto-Tender is the way to go! read more

When I was having some issues with my car that my regular place couldn't handle, they recommended I call Auto-Tender. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, helpful and came across as caring. When it came time for repairs and options, they explained what could be done, what needed to be done - and what wasn't absolutely necessary. They didn't use any tricks or any "Well, I *gueess* you can just do this, but we really recommend you paying out the nose" nonsense. Prices seemed reasonable for car-repairs (which, let's be honest - always seem overpriced). I doubt I'd make them my regular mechanic myself, but that's only because I live on the other end of town. read more

I'm truly impressed with this business. They are honest, straight forward, and timely. I had an issue with my vehicle that several major repair shops failed to properly diagnose; Auto Tender found the problem within hours. The price was fair and the work was completed exactly as advertised. Will definitely be returning in the future. Two thumbs up, Five stars, etc. read more

Family's been going here for around 10 years and I'll never take my car anywhere else when I'm in town. I ended up joining the military so I move around a lot, that being said, last week my wife had some car trouble and was being over charged by 2,000$. I called up these guys to run it by them because it sounded fishy and they broke it down for me and had me take it somewhere else. Ended up saving a lot of money. Just good honest people here hard to come by these days. Can't thank the team here enough. read more

My son is 20 and knows nothing about cars. When his was stalling after he turned the ignition we needed somewhere honest to tell us what was really wrong. Guy and Nick fixed it quick and easy! They are easy to work with and not only fixed what was wrong they inspected the whole car to make sure he is safe to drive the 40 minute hellish traffic of Orlando to/from his internship. My son wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I have been going here for over a year now. All the reviews are true. They are the most honest mechanics I have ever had. I had 2 oil changes at different places when I was out of town on 2 occasions and both said I needed my transmission fluid flushed. And both times I took it to Guy at Auto Tender and he said it didn't need done. That other places rip you off because they make a lot of money off changing your fluids. It is so sad that places can't just be honest. They also get you in and out very fast. And are the nicest guys. I can't sing their praises enough! read more

I thought been in South Florida with a car in Orlando was going to be hard without driving up. I decided to have my daughter's 2004 Mazda 3 towed to Auto-Tender after reading so many good reviews. From the beginning Nick was straight forward in letting me know what was wrong with the car. They found the problem plus were able to provide additional items (i.e. brakes & door sensor). My daughter picked up the car and she is very happy with the repairs. She is now able to move around. I mentioned to her that from now on if something is wrong to call Auto-Tender to see if they could take care of it. Wish there was a Team like that down here in SF. Nick Thanks to you and the crew. Very pleased. read more

STEER YOUR VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! Nothing tender about it. More like a rubbery steak that I had to chew on for 16 days. I had called in advance to set up an appointment. When I arrive, there is one guest in front of me talking with an employee. Two other employees behind the desk were talking. I'm waiting. Am I greeted? Nope. Once I'm helped, I explain the problems that I would like fixed. I'm estimating that I had at least $2000 (if not more) of work to be done. All minor, but a lot of age-related service repairs. I was told to write it down. Seriously? Shouldn't you be the one to write it down? This is your business. Not mine. I should have turned around and walked out at that point, but based on all the glowing (if real) Google reviews, I decided to give them a chance. I'm told I would receive a call in two days with an estimate because they were really busy. 2 days go by, 3 days go by. I call for an update. "We're still accessing the repairs for your estimate." 2 more days go by, 3 days, I call again, "We should have the parts ordered in a few more days." It's now been 6 days, I haven't even been called with an estimate yet. This back and forth continues without a single phone call from them, for a total of 11 DAYS! Alway's the same response, same excuse, rinse, repeat. I decided enough is enough and came to pick up my vehicle. I noticed it wasn't even in the shop. It was parked out back. Had they even worked on it at all these past 11 days? I walked in, and again I wasn't acknowledged or greeted. Finally I got an employee's attention and nicely told him I wanted my vehicle back because this situation was not working for me. Their response was like a deer in the headlights. In a robotic monotone voice, I got the same excuse: "We are really busy and have to special order the parts." I explained nicely about my disdain for the 11 days of excuses. Was I apologized to? Nope. Was I given the same excuse? Yes. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Boring... I know, right? At this point, I went outside to get in my vehicle, thinking I was finally done with this place. LOL! I wish! My LEFT SIDE DRIVER'S MIRROR WAS COMPLETELY GONE! Was Auto Tender actually thinking I wouldn't notice this? I walk back into the shop and asked what happened. "It was broken off when we put the vehicle on the lift." My response, "so were you not going to tell me this?" Their response, "We will be happy to order you a replacement." My response, "Why have you not already ordered the replacement of my mirror since you've had my vehicle for 11 days and you've obviously been aware of it." "Oh, I guess we forgot. We are really busy." Seriously? I stood there waiting for the employee to locate my broken mirror, then write the order for a new one. To give them credit, they did pay for the mirror free of charge. Really Auto Tender? You FORGOT? So now I had to wait another 5 days to pick up the replacement mirror that you broke, and failed to mention to me. "Is this really happening?" I was thinking. "Am I in an episode of the Twilight Zone?" It's so moronic, it's comical. TOTAL TIME OUT OF MY LIFE THAT I SPENT WITH THIS BUSINESS WAS 16 DAYS. Was my vehicle ever serviced or repaired? Nope, nothing done. Since you were "waiting on the parts" perhaps you could have been working on the other items I needed serviced that didn't require "the parts" like an oil change, tune-up, checking the brakes, etc. Was I ever called with an estimate or update? Nope, not once. So long Auto Tender! Finally, I'm done with you! You had so many missed opportunities to make it right with me. You had the opportunity to gain a loyal customer for life as well as my friends, family, and client referrals. Yes, Auto Tender, I'm in the customer service business myself, with a very large client base. But alas, my new mechanic will be enjoying all of the financial benefits from me, and my referrals, for years to come. They know how to embrace an opportunity! (and how to order parts) read more

I am so thankful for this shop! They went above and beyond. I can trust them and their work, and that is huge! Nick in particular is great. I'm so glad to have a go-to mechanic now that I know will be honest and have my best interest (not their sales) in mind. read more

I had a starter replaced at Auto-Tender. Unfortunately, it was a re-manufactured starter and stopped working 3 weeks after it was replaced. My car is now in California so they gave me a full refund on the part and labor. They stand by their work. read more

After all these years we finally found an honest mechanic in Orlando. We've been taking our vehicles here since and always the lowest price, the best service and above all the truth about what's wrong and best way to fix it! Thank you! read more

Not sure what these people mean by friendly? Yes prices are fair, but come on! Both times I came here for oil change... They took over an hour just to get my car in the shop!!! Not very happy. read more

Great family owned business! Always honest, I know I never have to worry about being jipped on what my car needs. And for someone who knows nothing about cars not having to worry about being told you need something that you don't really need is priceless! I've been a customer for several years and never disappointed. read more

Guy and the crew at Auto-Tender are great. They do all the work on my wife's 01 Ford Escape. They have reasonable prices and do excellent work! read more

I thought I had a starter issue so I got the car towed to Auto Tender. They jumped my car and told me it was a battery issue. They didn't charge me a penny when they could have charged me the diagnostic fee. These guys seem very trustworthy and I'll definitely be back for auto maintenance. read more

My daughter is a student at UCF and I am 5 states away, so I have to trust the mechanics to be honest about what needs to be fixed with my car. These guys are honest. They do excellent work and charge a low price - often it is much less than I expected it to be. I highly recommend Auto-Tender. read more

I live out of town and used Yelp to find a good repair shop for my Dad. Spot on they treated him so well and fixed the problem on time and he could not be more pleased. Thanks Eric and staff! read more

I was very leery about finding a mechanic in the area. My 16 y/o son bought a used car and it sounded like a jet taking off, lol! I called Auto-Tender and they gave me a very reasonable estimate over the phone for what I asked to be replaced. I dropped the car off and asked them to give it a quick once-over to be sure it was safe to drive. Eric called me within a few hours and had a list of what needed to be done, what could wait, and what was optional. He spoke to me in layman's terms (I'm a nurse, NOT a mechanic) and was open to questions. They had found a few things that were a safety concern for a newly licensed 16 y/o driver. We ended up having some extra things done and the car was still done the same day. They called me when it was done. When I arrived, Eric went over the bill with me in detail, provided a written estimate for what should be done in the future, and was very professional and courteous. I would definitely use them again! read more

Auto Tender is the only automotive shop I will ever go to. I know that I can always get an honest diagnosis for any problems I may be having with my car and the mechanics are always friendly and happy to answer any questions I may have. I have referred everyone I know to this shop including my boss, co-workers, family, and friends and all have become long term customers of this family owned business. I have had great experiences each time I have been to this shop and feel like a part of the family everytime I walk in. Auto Tender will continue to be the only shop I will ever use. read more

Really great place definitely recommend free charge for check up and fixed my problem in less than 40 min!

I came here about a month or so ago because my car was overheating when I took it on long highway drives. I don't remember the name of the guy who helped me, but he was very straightforward and friendly. He told me what the problem was and what they had to do to fix it. Seeing as I was a young woman by myself in an auto shop who knows nothing about cars, these guys could have easily scammed me, but they didn't -- I talked to my dad afterward and told him how much they charged me, and he said it was the right price for what they did to the car. Everything has been running great since. The only down side was that I had to wait a while for the work to be done, but that was probably because I didn't have an appointment. I will definitely go back to these guys if I ever have another car issue! read more

Awesome shop. Went for the first time and was very satisfied with the work. Very honest mechanics. Will definitely come back.

I had issues with my vehicle and repairs with auto tender, ended up being considerably less than what I had previously imagined. Nick was honest and helpful. I will be returning whenever my car needs servicing. read more
