Van wouldn't start after filling up so we had it towed here. We needed to make a show that night and got the van in around 3 (they close at 5). They were quick with the diagnosis and fair with their pricing and stuck around a bit after close to get the job done. Also, great with conversation while we were waiting around. Seems like a great option for both travelers and locals alike. read more

Chuck's Automotive - A sign inside! - Auto Repair Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

The folks at Chuck's are awesome! Have been taking my various autos for minor to major work and they never fail to fix the problem. Joey, what can I say....you went out of your way to make my life easier during a rough patch! Thank you all so much read more

Fiance and I were traveling through and our truck broke down. Joe was recommended and we are glad that we went with them. They were informative, prompt, and completed the work as quick as they were able to. Highly recommend them! read more

I had him work on one of my vehicles when I got it back, they had broken more things than they fixed and his excuse was it's an old vehicle, parts break. And I had gone to school with this clown, pretty disappointing actually. read more

This is one of my worst experiences with an auto repair shop. I wish I had read the comments on this site before taking it to them to fix a check engine light issue! When I got my vehicle back, not only was the check engine light still on but my vehicle was running worse than it was BEFORE I brought it to them in the first place. I brought my vehicle back to them for them to fix whatever they did to my vehicle. They kept my vehicle for an additional week, didn't even look at what they said was repaired the first time AND the check engine light was still on!! I took my vehicle to a different repair shop along with all the paperwork from Chuck's and AutoZone's code printouts. The parts were not put in correctly, part of one of the parts was lying in the engine AND oil was all over the place! read more

Chuck's Automotive - This is how they fix a vehicle's check engine light! They don't! - Auto Repair Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

These guys are amazing. I came in with a broken AC from out of town. They accepted my car right away and went out of their way to fix it. I'll never be back, because I live in Texas, but I definitely recommend this business. read more

Chuck's Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

A month ago I took my car to Chuck's Automotive and received great service. My car's AC was not working and had a lot of work that needed to be done to get it back serviceable. Though the amount of repair work that needed to be done was a lot, I was walked through every step and was asked by Joey beforehand if I wanted to move forward with repairs at each step. And although the known problem was that I had a hole in my condenser, they found out through a test drive that my compressor was also bad because my car shut off on the highway. I forget the gentleman's name that does the main AC work there, but his quick thinking when that happened prevented me from possibly having more repairs that needed to be done. And even though it all cost me a pretty penny, sometimes it really is what it is. The end result is that I have what I paid for and I got it done very quickly. Those in this shop display kindness and courtesy. Even Joey's mom came and picked me up from home to get my car right before they closed. I would do business with them again. read more

Thanks again to Chuck's Automotive. We had a small problem with our 2008 Kia Sorrento. A license plate light was out. I'm using the 2021 Sonata to drive to the Children's Hospital in New Orleans for my 12 year old grandson who is in kidney failure. He needs dialysis 5 times a week and is about to get a kidney transplant. The 2008 Kia Sorento my son, this kid's Dad is using to get to work full time. We can't have a car down at all right now. We approach a kidney transplant soon. We've been stopped twice with the license plate light and I could not find the problem. Fuses, bulbs and the connectors were all good. Thanks for getting the Kia license plate like working again. I definitely didn't want a ticket. When Drew, my grandson is better we will stop by and say thank you in person. Always a pleasure to visit Chuck. read more

Great Experience. Fair and competitive prices. Very knowledgeable and straight forward. I would recommend them to anyone

I highly recommend Chuck's Automotive. They are an honest, reputable, friendly local auto repair shop. I took my 2015 Hyundai Tucson in for a rattle that could have been caused by several issues, and they found and fixed it quickly and charged me a fair price for the repair. They will be my go-to for all my automotive needs. Pamela E. read more

Very amazing service that you can trust to do the right job for a fair price. We actually had our car AC break and took it to them to get fixed, and a couple days after they fixed it broke again. We took it back to them and they fixed it again for free, even though it was an entirely new issue. I actually had to ask him how much money he went out of pocket to fix the new issue and then demanded to compensate them for it. I can't say I've ever been in a situation where I had to demand to pay an auto repair center! 5 stars! read more

In spite of who paid for the repairs, you guys are still predators in a community, taking advantage and preying on the poor. I pastor the church for 20 years. I never accepted a paycheck from it.. Yes, I bragged about them offering to pay for it. and will continue to do so... if you are going to tell the story, tell the whole story. Everything your shop did to my truck was butched and botched up. I had a professional shop to go behind and checked everything your shade tree mechanic did. Thank God they were able to clean up your mess. After the terrible job you guys did. I in up paying for the repairs myself. Now go tell that. read more

Just want to say I highly do not recommend Chuck Coats Automotive on Dedeaux Road in Gulfport! I went for an alignment, and he said he can't align my car because "the manufacturers of Toyota Corolla's make it so they 'can't' get aligned." He quoted me $350 plus tax to "fix" my car so it could get aligned! He also said dealerships would charge me $1500+ to do the same job he would. First thing in the morning I went to Allen Toyota, and they aligned me. Nothing was wrong with my car! Here is the paper they gave me. read more

Chuck's Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Horrible please take your money to someone who actually cares and not try to get over on a woman and a teenage child. I have had so many issues and the work is subpar. I wouldn't let them work on my toy car. Absolutely NO accountability on their end for their lack of knowledge. I would have appreciated a "I don't know how to fix that" apposed to a half ass fix, that had us coming back 3 separate times and charging outrageous prices for something they never fixed in the first place. And after all the issues we had, my daughter picked up her car yesterday (3/13/24) and the fluid was dry!! Who replaces a water pump and not refill the fluids or even check to see if there is any in there and allow her to drive home dry to potentially cause more problems. Go at your own risk. Very shady and dishonest. read more

They performed a comprehensive preventive maintenance service on our Toyota Camry at half the price of what the dealership quoted. They did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Chuck's Automotive read more

Carmax sent me to Chuck's Automotive for transmission issues with my truck. Customer service was excellent with frequent phone calls regarding the status of my truck. They quickly identified the issue (I'd been to two other shops who said they couldn't find the issue) and made the repair. I was so impressed with the whole experience, I brought my jeep in that had been having issues and was again given great service, at a fair price with a quick turn-around. I certainly will return with any future needs! read more

I have had pretty good service from Chucks in the past. I ran over a piece of fiberglass with my Chevrolet Silverado and to was making a loud noise from the engine area. I had the truck towed to Chucks and they told me it sounds like a rod let loose in the engine, They gave me a quote to replace the engine of over $3000.00. I had the truck towed back to my residence. I jacked the truck up and found a bent dust cover for the flywheel was bent. I removed the cover and the noise was gone. $60.00 part on Amazon and the truck was back on the road. I will be looking for another mechanic. read more

While traveling from South Carolina to Texas to visit our grandchildren, we experienced car trouble near Gulfport. The alternator needed replacing. Joey and his crew with Chuck's Automotive took care of the repair quickly and expertly. The price was reasonable and the folks there were courteous and friendly. If we lived in the area, we would be regular customers! read more

Just wanted to let everyone know that Chuck's Automotive is under new management as of January 1, 2022. Same mechanics and service writers. Very good customer service. The review from July 1, 2022, where we supposedly "sold" her parts is not true in the least. We do not treat people like this. I believe she is from Metairie, Louisiana and is apparently talking about the Chuck's Automotive there. We have no record of her car ever being at our shop. Please pay attention when leaving reviews that you are leaving them for the right business. We work hard to provide the best service possible for our customers and this kind of review (that's not even about our shop) is very disturbing. We are an honest business and treat our customers with respect. read more

I may have had a miscommunication over a simple matter but Chuck's Auto was very understanding and acted with the utmost integrity.

I'm writing this review because I'm trying to figure out how many other ppl have been stolen from ! my husband took our car in to fix the ac spent $1000 on the fix and the ac was still not fixed! low and behold the great guy my husband is he didnt start a ruckus as I would have because why isn't my ac working after I spent $1000 with chucks automotive ? so we were just out of $1000 and no we don't have it like that !! we took our car back idk why my husband did it but he did and they fixed the car ac but this time tried to charge more than what he stated the first time ! now after that a friend of mine told me that his car had to get towed because what he believwe chucks automotive fixed wasn't indeed fixed !!! I've saved all my receipts because something suspicious is going on there and I want my $1000 back when it all boils down ! ive been asking around and everyone is saying just keep the invoice maybe one day their be going to court because it happens often !! read more

Took my car to get checked why it was overheating. They did absolutely NOTHING and charged $84. They didn't even check the fluids. I had to add coolant and was sand underneath the hood. They used two quarts of my gas. My car is still overheating. read more

Took my wife's car here after another repair shop diagnosed the problem as the blower motor. Well, that wasn't the problem at all. Chuck and Ashton stayed in contact with me until they found the problem, a resistor. These guys are legit. Quick turn around and fair pricing. This will be our go to shop in the future. read more

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a new mechanic. Found Chuck Coats and could not be more pleased. Had a pretty major service due for my wife's Jeep Wrangler. They quoted me a great price and completed all work quickly. This service would have cost me considerably more at the dealer. I find them to be very honest, fair and friendly. I will absolutely use them again they are just what I was looking for after moving here. read more

Best mechanics ive ever dealt with. I took a 2003 mustang GT to a motor shop before i knew about chuck coats and they kept my car for 18 days and could not figure out the issue and gave up. I beought my stang to chuck coats they had it fixed in less than one day. Fixed perfectly i might add. Thankyou chuck coats! read more

Chuck's Automotive - 2003 mustang Gt 5 speed - Auto Repair Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Went for a car "check-up" before our trip home for the holidays and they got me in immediately. Everyone was extremely friendly and seemed completely honest and fair. Multiple returning customers also came in while I was there and you could tell that they trusted him completely. Highly recommend!! read more

Chuck and his team are professional and very trustworthy. He kept me informed on what needed to be done and gave great estimates. He is someone I would highly recommend to fix your vehicle. He was also honest about everything, for instance, I know there is more work to be done for it to be fully 100%, but he fixed what I could afford and what was important now. He explained why I need to save to have the rest done as soon as I can. read more

AWESOME!!!! Great service and very trust worthy!! Only did the work that was needed and did it for a very fair price. If your car needs work...I highly recommend Chuck Coats Automotive!!! Thank you guys.. read more

The 5 star reviews for this shop are the REAL DEAL. I waited to write this review until I had used their service 3 times. First I needed major overhaul front end work done on a car I had been putting off because of cost. When I called my regular trusted mechanic they gave me an estimate of about $1600 w/o tax. I decided to call around and not only got the estimate for the front end but also brake work on all four wheels including two new calipers that I needed because one was locking up. Chuck Coats quoted me about $1500 without tax for the entire job after assessing the vehicle. I got the quote within a couple of hours after it dropping off. I was told that since the wheels would be off already they could shave some labor off from the front brake job--i.e. they would not double dip me on the labor. Most shops look up the job per the "book" and charge accordingly for each job done as a line item. They were true to their word and the bill with tax came in at the estimate from the other shop without all the extras. They saved me hundreds of dollars. I then took my second care in to be serviced for less major front end work and brakes and the estimate was on point again. They even fixed another minor issue at no charge--a vacuum line on the cruise control had failed. Another shop wanted to replace the entire unit at big bucks. All work done was excellent and each time they treated me with respect and appreciation. A week or so later I heard a noise that did not sound quite right on my first car's repair. They quickly diagnosed it as a minor oversight. The rear brake drums needed more attention than originally thought and suggested that I replace them. Because it was their oversight, I paid only for the parts and not the labor. I also had other work done at the same time that I had been putting off and one part in particular was repaired with no issues. I was told by two other shops that my turn light socket would need to be replaced (of course after charging me for the bulb replacements and labor) but Chuck Coats mechanics found that it was only a minor issue with the connection tabs that could be easily fixed without replacement of the entire socket and harness. Again they saved me big money because of their considerate, competent, and skillfully mindful staff. All work was completed in no more than 48 hours including on the largest job and they kept me advised on unforeseen issues before doing the work. I had not been able to find such a professional and fair priced mechanic like this in years. When you do, as I, you need to keep 'em--I am. I trust these guys. read more

They were happy to help me and took me to the cleaners for a half hour of their time. I had them do radiator hoses on my car and they originally said it would be around 50 bucks plus coolant and it ended up costing me $140, I was new to the area and I feel that they took advantage of me when they had my car in their possession. Not a good experience to have. Not going back read more
