Months later when I had the time and money I called back Sarasota Ford only to find out that they were backed up on transmission work and couldn't get me in for well over a month. I then called AAMACO who worked on my previous vehicle. They test drove it and did a diagnostics on it and found out that nothing was wrong. AAMACO could have easily ripped me off for thousands of dollars (which I was ready to pay) to install a new transmission but they didn't, nor did they charge me anything for the diagnostics or test drive. I have the upmost respect for Ian and AAMACO and would recommend them to everyone.

Our car was having problems on a Saturday evening. We managed to make it home and the next day I…read morestared to look around for a mechanic. I used my diagnostic tester to try to determine what the problem was. The tester indicated that there was a misfire in one of the cylinders. I finally reached Cruz Auto Repair in the late afternoon. Corey replied back that he could come to the house between 6 & 8 that evening (Sunday). Corey came at about 6:45 and immediately began to diagnose the issue and found that the cylinder had a bad spark plug. We talked about a price and I decided to have Corey change all the plugs. which he did. running a test again, he found that one of the coils was also bad. Since it was late at night, after 8 PM and the auto parts store was closed, we discussed a price and agreed that Corey would come back the next morning with a new replacement coil. Corey came back the next morning and replaced the coil and now the car is working just fine. From the start, Corey showed knowledge of auto repairs, did exactly what he said he would do for the price that he quoted each time. I would highly recommend Cruz Auto Repair for all repairs. Thank you Corey.

Want a true long ADHD non bot non fiction story? I bought a foreign vehicle in late 2019 that does…read morerequire a professional especially if you're not 100% sure you can tackle it yourself. It was really hard to find a place that I didn't know even where to look to address this car. So I found Swanson and man named John ran it, always had solid service, good quality without hurting my wallet. Now here comes the story so bear with me. John was class and did great work and if you took your vehicle to Swanson before 2022 you most certainly had great service too. Unfortunately he had to tend to family back in England, I believe it was his dad that was sick and sold the place to guy named Steve AKA piece of shit. That MFer, took over and ran it into the ground in less than 3 or so years, while having my car for 8 months as he totally screwed people and thank god not he's the owner anymore. A new owner bought the place and replaced Steve who was stealing tools and buying stuff on store credit which he didn't own anymore and was immediately fired and replaced by Chris. He is the new management and we had some interesting conversations in the time we have known each other. Never had arguments and honestly if he didn't inherited a shitstorm there would have been only positive talk and has done everything he can to a degree to help me all because of the 2nd owner Steve messed up big time. I've brought 3 vehicles up there including the one I'm talking about now and besides the fluid change of diff, trans, and oil he's not charging me for removing and correctly reinstalling front end by securing the underside from the front splitter, which has seems to have been a problem even though I got the car like that and had no issues till Steve. So Chris will secure the plastic under trays as I bought the hardware and he's changing both TPS sensors as well as doing an other alignment which I did pay for and one sensor but will redo it and pay for the second sensor and do it free of charge like he originally told me months back concerning this car and guarantee his work. He originally said he would help reinstall my car and not charge me labor if I supplied the materials which I honestly wasn't extremely happy about as I was upset with Steve the previous owner as he charged me and left my car worse than when I dropped it off so it took time with Chris and I. I wasn't mad at him I was just mad and pissed off and he was the only one I could present this to. Btw this car has a long story but that's another story.... So I brought one vehicle and another and slowly started moving in a positive direction. I can attest that he is honest and does guarantee his work as we unfortunately had a mishap on top end repair and it wasn't even his fault but since the vehicle was in his possession he replaced the whole motor and redid everything for no cost. Now don't look to get a free ride or try and take advantage because first that's wrong and second if he refuses something then he has a very, very good reason. I have brought him domestic and non domestic vehicles and they have done superb work plus he's really easy going and not gimmicky. He's got a good tech in the back which unfortunately I always forget his name for some stupid reason but he's really thorough. So he has held his word as I'm patiently waiting on my car now and it will be done even sooner than I thought, will give updates on how the car looks and drives. Oh and Swanson has a phenomenal deals on batteries so don't go to discount or auto zone. Chris saved me over $100 when I mentioned in conversation that I needed a battery for my truck at the house. So Swanson is whole again!!! Look for conclusion to my car very soon.
