Update to my review from 7 years ago…read more Tom of Tom's Auto sold his business last year to Bayside Auto, another family-owned business with another location in Port Orange. The good news is that the name remains the same, and Tom and his mechanics continue to service autos as before. The best news is that they still only recommend repair and replacement for what is necessary at the time I bring my vehicle. The pricing is still fair and reasonable. My family and I have been dropping our cars off at Tom's for over 12 years, and I'm thankful to say that we will continue to do so whenever we need vehicle maintenance and repairs.

If I could give Tom's Auto Shop and a -1010293738198 star rating, I would…read more I am absolutely furious. This place is a nightmare. Do NOT go here unless you want to be scammed, ignored, and left with a broken car and a lighter wallet. RUN AWAY they do not care! The new owner ZACH is completely unprofessional. If I was lying, I would've just left a negative star review but I'm taking time out of my day to write this so read it if you want. Do not let these five star reviews fool you. This shop was bought recently! I brought my car in for an AC issue. I clearly explained to Zach that the AC blows cold air for about 10-15 minutes after starting the car, then switches to hot air while driving. That's a specific symptom. I trusted them to listen and assess it properly. Instead, they called me and said the Freon was "halfway full," which might mean a leak. They said they'd install new valves and inject dye to check for leaks. Fine. I agreed. Then they called back and said they saw no dye. So... no leak, right? Not only that there was no leak that they saw before they even did anything or touched the car they just assumed! But anyways that should've been the end of it. But no. My boyfriend picked up the car, and within FIVE MINUTES of driving, the AC was blowing hot air again. Clearly, they didn't test drive it. Clearly, they didn't verify if the issue was resolved. That alone is unacceptable. I brought the car back. I showed a mechanic the AC wasn't blowing cold. He felt the air, popped the hood, and immediately said, "It's probably the compressor." Just like that. No diagnostics. No testing. Just a guess. I left the car again. An hour later, they called and said it's the compressor and now it's $900. Excuse me? Why wasn't this mentioned in the first place? Why wasn't a full diagnostic done before charging me for Freon and valves? If I had known it was the compressor, I could've gotten quotes elsewhere to make my decision. But they didn't give me that chance. They piecemealed the problem, charged me for absolutely NOTHING, and then dropped a $900 bomb after the fact. Let's talk about the Freon. I asked for proof that it was low. They had NONE. No before-and-after photos. No data from their $10,000 machine. Apparently, this fancy machine doesn't even keep a history log. So I have zero proof that Freon was ever low or even added. That's shady. Then they tried to take ALL the Freon out of my car when I asked for a refund. I told them, "If it was halfway full, leave half in." They said they couldn't do that. So I told them to suck it out and put half back in. They charged me $105 for that five-minute task. I got a partial refund of $237, but I'm still out $105 for something THAT TOOK 5 mins! and have no proof that my car was even low of Freon. I'm 25 years old. I didn't know much about AC systems, and I trusted their word. But after doing my own research, I learned that if the AC blows cold and then hot, it's likely NOT a Freon issue. It's something deeper--like the compressor. They should've known that. They should've told me that. Instead, they took advantage of my trust and lack of technical knowledge. This shop is untrustworthy, unprofessional, and underhanded. I'm speaking with lawyers to see what can be done. The way they treated me was awful. And don't be fooled by the good reviews--they're from the previous owner. This place is under new management now, and it shows. They don't test your car. They don't assess the full issue. They just guess, charge you, and send you on your way. Then when it doesn't work, they hit you with another bill. It's a scam. Avoid Tom's Auto Shop at ALL costs. Protect your money, your car, and your sanity.

I can't say enough good things about Jae Lee and Ark Auto Solutions! About a year ago, I brought my…read morewife's Honda in when one of the rear shock mounts needed work. Jae took care of it quickly, professionally, and at the best price out of all the shops I had reached out to. The quality of service and honesty really stood out to me. Fast forward a year later, the other rear shock mount needed replacing, and we were also dealing with a frustrating issue of rodents chewing through the EPS harness. I asked Jae if I could bring him a new harness and have it installed with added protection using flexible metal conduit and rodent tape. Without hesitation, he told me it would be no problem. I dropped the car off at his shop, and a few days later it was ready, problem solved. Everything was wrapped and secured exactly the way I requested, giving me peace of mind. Jae goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right, and his pricing is more than fair. If you're in the Longwood area and need a reliable, trustworthy mechanic, look no further than Ark Auto Solutions. You'll get outstanding service, honest communication, and work you can trust. I highly recommend Jae and his team and will definitely be back again when the time comes.

I found Rescue late one afternoon and he fit my pre-purchase inspection into the next day. When…read morethe Greenway Ford did not show up at 9 am with the car (which is what they promised), but came in 3 hours late, he still found a way to squeeze in the inspection into a day that he told be was already booked up. If there is any fault to be placed against the owner is that he tries too hard to do anything he can to please customers. He almost didn't care about the money he was charging. It was about doing what he could to meet our needs. And he even let the dealer take the car back to the dealership without first being paid by us. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. But the dealership pressed him to do just that and he gave up the vehicle without first being paid. I am deeply impressed with owner Amina Hamadi. No complaints on the BBB website and an A+ rating is practically unheard of for an auto repair shop in Florida. And what makes that more amazing is that he has an A+ rating and is not even a BBB member! That rating is proof positive of a gem of a man and a repair shop in junkyard full of Florida repair shops made up of a limited number of good guys, and a lot of others who receive complaints from disappointed customers. I cannot recommend Amina Hamadi any higher. I'd add a star if the opportunity was made available.
