The men there were so nice and patched it immediately. They checked that the other tires were safe and put the repaired tire back on. The price was beyond gracious and they filled our water bottles and had us wait in the air conditioned office. They made this incident a minimal disruption and not a huge crisis. Thanks guys!

I don't believe that I could make up a worse experience with a service provider in any industry…read more After a very lengthy period of time to not only repair my instrument cluster but to also diagnose and resolve issues with stalling in my old truck, it died on the way home from the shop, I returned it and they diagnosed and allegedly repaired a different problem, yet it continues to stall with the AC on, which was the original issue. Then imagine my disappointment when I was going to take it out to run around the block two days after limping it home from Total and it was totally dead. Not only will I not return there for any type of service on any vehicle I own or will ever own, I will share my experience with anyone who asks my opinion, and some who don't. Avoid Total Automotive Services at all costs.

I recently had my vehicle serviced for some minor bodywork and was thoroughly impressed with the…read moreexceptional customer service I received throughout the entire process. From the initial quote to dropping it off and picking it up, the team was consistently friendly and welcoming. The work itself was outstanding, completed in a timely manner while leaving my vehicle looking like new, with no signs of the original damage. Their prices were not only fair but also competitive, making it an excellent value overall. I would definitely return for any future needs.

My 2007 FJ was ready for a serious refresh after nearly two decades. I spent over a year talking…read morewith and researching multiple shops trying to find the right team--someone who could handle the scope of the project with the right balance of quality, service, and price. (I had ideas but no clue what actually worked!) Then I finally found **Frost Auto** -- and they absolutely delivered. They handled everything: fresh paint, engine, tune-up, and brake maintenance, upgraded exhaust, new lighting, new moldings--a full overhaul at a fair price AND guarantee all of their work. (Classic, collector paint job started @ $25k) Admittedly, I was nervous about this investment, but after meeting the team for an estimate, a couple of follow up chats, that concern quickly turned into trust and enthusiasm. I shipped parts and mods straight to them, asked plenty of questions along the way, and Kim/Pete were patient and helpful EVERY time. Pete's recommendations actually improved my original plan, and their honesty about what they could and couldn't do made all the difference. The results? Beyond expectations. My FJ feels brand new--and honestly looks better than it did when it rolled off the lot. It's ready to run another 20 years. (Still a few small upgrades/color pops to come, but I couldn't wait any longer to share my experience.) If you're looking for ANY type of automotive care, don't think twice: Frost Auto Care is the place. Pete, Kim, and the entire Frost team deliver top-tier skill, reliable timelines, and genuine customer service--all with a smile and integrity. I live in Pinellas, it's worth the drive. *Rims and skid plate: C2 Powder Coating (recommend!!)- www.powdercoatingsarasota.com **Custom leather seat covers: Katzkin

Want a true long ADHD non bot non fiction story? I bought a foreign vehicle in late 2019 that does…read morerequire a professional especially if you're not 100% sure you can tackle it yourself. It was really hard to find a place that I didn't know even where to look to address this car. So I found Swanson and man named John ran it, always had solid service, good quality without hurting my wallet. Now here comes the story so bear with me. John was class and did great work and if you took your vehicle to Swanson before 2022 you most certainly had great service too. Unfortunately he had to tend to family back in England, I believe it was his dad that was sick and sold the place to guy named Steve AKA piece of shit. That MFer, took over and ran it into the ground in less than 3 or so years, while having my car for 8 months as he totally screwed people and thank god not he's the owner anymore. A new owner bought the place and replaced Steve who was stealing tools and buying stuff on store credit which he didn't own anymore and was immediately fired and replaced by Chris. He is the new management and we had some interesting conversations in the time we have known each other. Never had arguments and honestly if he didn't inherited a shitstorm there would have been only positive talk and has done everything he can to a degree to help me all because of the 2nd owner Steve messed up big time. I've brought 3 vehicles up there including the one I'm talking about now and besides the fluid change of diff, trans, and oil he's not charging me for removing and correctly reinstalling front end by securing the underside from the front splitter, which has seems to have been a problem even though I got the car like that and had no issues till Steve. So Chris will secure the plastic under trays as I bought the hardware and he's changing both TPS sensors as well as doing an other alignment which I did pay for and one sensor but will redo it and pay for the second sensor and do it free of charge like he originally told me months back concerning this car and guarantee his work. He originally said he would help reinstall my car and not charge me labor if I supplied the materials which I honestly wasn't extremely happy about as I was upset with Steve the previous owner as he charged me and left my car worse than when I dropped it off so it took time with Chris and I. I wasn't mad at him I was just mad and pissed off and he was the only one I could present this to. Btw this car has a long story but that's another story.... So I brought one vehicle and another and slowly started moving in a positive direction. I can attest that he is honest and does guarantee his work as we unfortunately had a mishap on top end repair and it wasn't even his fault but since the vehicle was in his possession he replaced the whole motor and redid everything for no cost. Now don't look to get a free ride or try and take advantage because first that's wrong and second if he refuses something then he has a very, very good reason. I have brought him domestic and non domestic vehicles and they have done superb work plus he's really easy going and not gimmicky. He's got a good tech in the back which unfortunately I always forget his name for some stupid reason but he's really thorough. So he has held his word as I'm patiently waiting on my car now and it will be done even sooner than I thought, will give updates on how the car looks and drives. Oh and Swanson has a phenomenal deals on batteries so don't go to discount or auto zone. Chris saved me over $100 when I mentioned in conversation that I needed a battery for my truck at the house. So Swanson is whole again!!! Look for conclusion to my car very soon.
