A friend recommended I go there when I was having car problems. I should have let them do the work…read more Instead I had them do the oil change until I was able to bring it to Sarasota Ford where they totally f'ed up the best car I ever had.

I started out with a tire that had a hole or screw stuck in it. Purchased top of the line new tire…read morefrom Mavis. They never got it right. It was the seal, etc. And this SUV was always kept in the garage. Had to take it back to Mavis 2 more time yet always with the same result - new tire flat within a day! Bad customer experience and extremely time consuming. But led me to the best car fixers around - Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers (they offer full service too). I discovered Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers on SR 64 East in Bradenton. I spoke to the crew and found out it was full service after I told them about the tire problems. I needed a new battery since it sat in the garage (me thinking it was ready to go-NOT). Same new tire, purchased at Mavis, was consistently flat within 24 hours. Express Oil Change even offered to come out and give me a jump and take it in to fix the new tire. But I used AAA and they dropped it off. The knowledge of the crew is top notch! They noticed other things that were wrong and after our conversation and estimate, fixed those too! And again, at a GREAT PRICE! It is FULL SERVICE, not only oil change and tires. Their expertise saved me tons of money and the their vast knowledge of cars is exceptional. Plus, they did it all in one or two days. Can't argue with that! Exceptional company and I will continue to take my cars there whenever I need anything! Check out their website as they have COUPONS too!!

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience felt misleading and unprofessional from a…read morepricing standpoint. I was originally quoted one price for the repair, but later I was told the cost went up because I "needed hoses added," with no clear explanation or proof provided for why those parts were necessary. There was no documentation, no visual inspection shown, and no real breakdown to justify the added work--just a verbal claim that it was required. On top of that, the final charge ended up being more than 3x what the same OEM part is listed for at Ford, which raises serious concerns about how the pricing was marked up and presented. The issues didn't stop there. This happened on a Friday. I was told my car would be ready before 4:00 PM, but around 4:30 PM I only received a last-minute text update. I arrived at approximately 5:09 PM, and the shop was already closed. There was no one available, no way to speak to anyone, and no reliable way to get updates or access my vehicle. Because of the timing and the fact that it was already Friday evening, my car would have been stuck there all weekend until Monday, which directly affected my work schedule. I had to go out of my way to find and contact the owner myself just to avoid being left without my vehicle for multiple days. While I did get my car back, the overall experience felt inconsistent, poorly communicated, and not handled in a transparent or professional way

I fully expected a large service charge. this is the third time they have worked on my car and they have always been thorough and work has been excellent.

I am an older woman and they could have easily done unnecessary work and I would never have questioned it. Their honesty and consideration for their customers is top notch. I would absolutely recommend them for tires and all auto services. R. Willard

The owner even offered to throw in some parts at cost to help me out. Shout out to Mike and Sam the mechanic who got on the phone with me and answered all my questions (who does that!) and Mike who personally made sure I felt well taken care of and paid attention to all of my concerns.
