The owner Joe inspected my daughter's car with heat not working. After an inspection it was determined the water pump was going out and thankfully did not drop all the fluid on the road. Joe gave an estimate on repairs and timetable. The car was ready on time and within budget. The heat now works. The repair cost was well below that of a dealer. I talked to Joe to wrap up everything and I found him to be ethical and trusted. A rarity these days for mechanics. He let the car stay an extra day at his shop with a winter storm. Totally recommend Peacock Auto Service. 5 Stars!

So, immediately after I posted the above review I received a voicemail from Chris at Airport Road Auto. He said that he had left a voicemail for me saying that he had called to let me that no appointments were available at the times I had requested.

He came right to my apartment and worked on my car that same afternoon. When he was done he gave me a call and walked me through everything that was going on with my car and what I might expect. He also told me how he felt the last assessment definitely was not thorough and felt that they were trying to rip me off. Mike taught me a lot, was very quick, and best of all it was $410 for the SAME work that they told me would be $1100. I highly recommend Mike!!

I drove a rental during this time and so I had already lost a lot of money. So, I called Mike based upon his positive reviews. He fixed my car's engine for way less than I would have paid anywhere else, and because of that, I had him replace the front brakes as well. He will be my first call from now on!

The lady at the front desk said I was "required" to use synthetic oil. When I questioned that (I'm a bit of a car nut), she said I should look it up on the internet or my service manual. And she went ahead and wrote up my work order for synthetic oil (which BTW costs twice as much as regular oil). So I went home and looked it up. Nowhere does it say synthetic oil is required. In fact, it can be bad for older cards (it finds leaks). In fact, it is not even recommended. Sites will tell you the benefits (such as longer between oil changes, better gas mileage), but never any mention of being required. When will companies learn that tricking a customer increases their revenue for that one day - but will lose them future business when the customer goes somewhere else from now on. BTW the sticker they put on the window (to remind me of my next oil change) still said only 5,000 miles - not the 7,000 or 10,000 that is usual for synthetic oil Good night Finley's.

I had been praying and looking for an honest mechanic for years and was dissatisfied with many places in the area. As a female, it is even harder to get an honest quote. These guys are honest, responsible, and kind. I can not say enough good about J Team. If you are like me and reading reviews trying to find a good mechanic, trust these reviews. They have 5 stars for good reason. And... my car was as clean when I picked it up, as when I brought it in. They look out for their customers. Thank you, J Team. I'll see you, but hopefully not too soon

Used to go to one of the chain places at Seminole Trail and Rio Rd intersection but change in ownership there has driven that place into the ground. So . . . we read the reviews for API and decided to give it a try for an oil change on our Outback. Very satisfied! They were friendly, quick and reasonably priced. Cost a bit more than the '"Drive-thru' oil changers but not by much and I'll happily pay more for a real technician who knows cars and takes pride in their work vs the low-paid gen x-er working at the drive thru oil change place who spends more time looking at his phone screen than he does at the car.
