This repair center is without question the most honest,…read more professional and caring organization i have had the pleasure of encountering. I am a former mechanic and know how to correctly repair a vehicle. I am not local to Vero so they have been taking care of my 84 year old mothers repair needs for a couple of years now. She calls me with her estimates and questions. On many occasions i have on my visits to her confirmed the need for the recommended repairs and they have been spot on and never seem to try to include unnecessary add ons. She has been to other shops before she found this one and they would always try to add on easy money scam repairs that i would have to advise against. That doesnt happen here. They treat her like family and i cant thank them enough. You may have to wait a bit to get in, but theres a reason for this. They are the BEST. Thank you to all the Team at Old Dixie.

Speaking from experience, it probably WILL break down anyway so just have another place in mind and familiarize yourself with Small Claims if you do decide to go with them for any demented reason. Our truck broke down on the way to Miami and we ended up having to call a tow truck that took us into St. Lucie Automotive. They said they would call us and never did. We were constantly calling them to find out what was going on with our vehicle because days went by with no word from them. Every day they said it would be done, we would call to be sure and they'd push it back, this went on for 1.5 weeks. When it finally was ready, the shocking $1,800 bill came to us. Not only that, but our car was COVERED in oily stains from the men who worked on it... what the hell were they doing iNSIDE the car? I have no idea and the owner "Jeremy" stood by his men saying they would never do that. Then how do you explain the oil in our car? They also broke the nob on our AC and wouldn't admit to it. They said they just tested it out and that it must have been broken when they came in. BULL! We paid the outrageous prices for a broken water pump and headed back 2 hours away to our home in Orlando when our car overheated yet again and started shooting fluids everywhere. We took it into the nearest Toyota dealership who said it was the clutch that had issues that broke the water pump and caused the other issues that the oily St. Lucie guys missed in the first place. Then, St. Lucie Automotive installed our radiator hose in UPSIDE DOWN causing $1,800 MORE in damages to our truck! It took two days in the shop to fix but actually worked after coming out of the Toyota shop. I'm in the process of filing a Small Claims suit with St Lucie Automotive because Jeremy is such a jerk, he won't claim any responsibility and continues to argue and say it is impossible for him to do anything wrong, or his guys. He didn't care if they made our inside of our car oily, or broke an AC nob and of course it is just impossible for them to mistakes at their shop. Bull. I will never use that dealership EVER again and would not trust Jeremy as far as I could throw him. He was a total jerk over the phone before he even knew there was a problem, and their customer service is completely lacking. I walked into their office and asked if they had a restroom and the guy behind the desk barely looked up when he said, "How do I know, I don't work here." Stay away from this scam of a place. You're lucky if your car makes it off the lot.

My wife took her car there a while back for regular basic maintenance, check the tires and an oil change. The guy running this spot is named Jerry and he told her the price for the oil change and to rotate the tires. When she went to pick up the car later, Jerry told her that the alignment had to be done along with the shocks and the struts. Long story short the bill was almost $1500. She called me on the phone very upset. I went over there to speak to Jerry because neither of us had given him the approval to make any such repairs! We live in a fixed budget and our grand kids are coming to visit soon. When I tried to speak with Jerry he started arguing with me telling me that my wife had actually approved it. He said that maybe she doesn't remember now but that's a personal issue for her because maybe her memory isn't well? What the heck is he trying to say? It was a horrible experience and I'll never go back there again. I felt as if I'd been robbed and my wife is still upset about it. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY BUSINESS. They're a predatory business and Jerry is a nasty person.

It's taken me awhile to write this since I do have other life priorities than writing reviews. But here it finally is. After they changed my front brakes, and let them convince me the rotors needed changed but...did not. What was I thinking?! Anyway...finally had funds to get the rear brakes done. Was given an estimate but then AFTER the brakes were done & I got the bill it was $200 higher (I realize and estimate is just that) however $200 when they couldn't get the ones quoted so got the more expensive ones, without telling me First! Considering I am barely surviving on SS (which they were aware of my financial constraints) but even if not...they should've told me BEFORE they did the job giving me the option to reschedule!! It wasn't a dire emergency! It wouldn't been the smart decision...it's just poor business sense if one really cares about retaining a customer! On top of that, the rotors unlike the front ones which aren't near as bad, have the greatest amount of brake dust I've ever experienced on my 19 yo car...it accumulates in less than 2 days! They constantly need Cleaned it's so horrendous and unsightly...and for $200 MORE?!?! Plus they Screech when I brake!! Unacceptable & Inexcusable!!

I recently visited Mazzarell's Automotive, I wanted to cash in on my "Special Discounted Oil…read moreChange," (I had misplaced the Special Coupon), which was given to me after purchasing a 2013 Ford Edge from Mike Mazzarella at Mazzarella's Auto Sales. Upon entering Mazzarell's Automotive, I was greeted by the kind and knowledgeable Service Manager, Ashlee. As one could imagine, I was a bit skeptical about what all this 'discounted' service entailed. Well, both my oil change and service was treated as ALL 'Full Price' oil change/service at Mazzarella's. Ashlee was very patient and eager to answer all of my questions(Cost of a Normal Oil Change and service), along with address any concerns I had. She was truly a delight to work with during my visit. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who might have an issue with one of their vehicles. Rest assured, i realize this isn't a 'prerequisite' for any business; however, the Owners are 'believers.' To me, that that always does a lot to calm the fears and feeling of apprehension when taking the tremendous leap in allowing someone to work on their vehicle. For the record, about a week after my visit to Mazzarella's Automotive, I received a letter/ and coupon in the mail. Needless to say, I have already given it to my best friend, and she will be taking advantage of this great promotional in the very near future. This business has at least two new customers now....not too shabby. PS: I saw Ashlee earlier this week at a store in Vero, and I was so excited to see her. I waved at her and cheesed really big...she looked at me as if I had lobsters growing out of my ears. I'm sure she has a lot of long days and sees lots of both familiar/unfamiliar faces. I just thought it was funny. Keep up the Good Work!
