I came here based on a recommendation from a friend and they did not disappoint. They are honest and did a good job fixing my car. This is not a place that will rip you off but will give you honest estimates and repairs and nothing more. They don't recommend anything additional that doesn't need to be done. I came back and became a regular customer. They are my go-to for any repairs and maintenance. I've never had any issues with them and they do a great job. My workplace found out how great they are and now they take their vans there for repair and maintenance. The guys that work there are nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place for your auto care needs. read more

They were recommended by mom and I've yet to be disappointed. The staff is friendly and the work is superb! I prefer them over any other mechanic place in the area. read more

Great communication, friendly staff. Would recommend. Shout out Erik and Jose for all of their help!

A few months ago I went to Maxi's for a belt change on my Chevy Cobalt. I made an appointment, took my car in first thing that morning. I was out of there in the promised time, which doesn't always happen in auto shops and was awesome! They also charged me a lot less than I was expecting! I'll be a return customer! I also came to Maxi's because a friend of mine recommended them highly. He's been going there for years! Then in July I returned to get my A/C recharged as it wasn't cooling my car efficiently. Maxi found out what the problem was (a leaky valve), fixed it and gave me a recharge. Now the A/C is working great and will keep working great as they fixed the problem! Thanks Maxi! read more

Jose is a gem to the front face of this business. He explains all the work needed in detail and slowly for us no mechanical types. The work was discussed and the service was done as requested. We will be repeat customers. read more

Started the Day with low tire pressure. Ouch! So stopped at the gas station air pump and added 18# air to one. Hmmmm... and heard the air escaping! Yikes.... Next stop- Maxi Auto, to check it out- valve stem and they had me on the way in no time. The cost- a heartfelt thank you was all they would take. They are my go-to place, thankfully it is generally regular maintenance. Thank You, Justin and Crew! read more

I had a major transmission failure and took the car to Maxi Auto Repair on Beach Blvd. Within 48 hours of diagnosing the problem, the car was back on the road. Service and professionalism of the staff was excellent. read more

Great crew. We were totally frustrated our mechanic and were advised to come here and we couldn't be happier. Too many times in the past it looked like mechanics just hacked away at our cars, not the case here. While we don't look forward to auto repairs we will at least feel confident we'll be well taken care of here. read more

Maxi Auto Repair And Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I brought in a 2018 Ram Promaster because the low oil pressure warning came on. I had it towed to Maxi. They did a work up on the vehicle. Their conclusion was that it needed head gaskets. I never had any of the symptoms of bad head gaskets, ( white exhaust, milky oil, loss of power, etc) The work up that they sent me consisted of things not associated with engine problems, like cracked windshield, dings on the hood, etc. They stated "oil on the upper part of the engine". ("Was oil changed recently?") I told them that I recently changed the oil myself. Of all of the superfluous things listed, they did NOT list the problem, which was a bad oil cooler. So, of course, there would be oil on the upper engine. Never paid a diagnostic fee before ($283.00), only to not have the issue diagnosed. I can turn a wrench, but I'm no professional mechanic, not like the guys at Maxi. I paid the fee, put oil in it, drove it home, looked up reasons that oil will leak on Promasters, watched a YouTube video on oil cooler replacements on 2018 Ram Promasters, went out and bought a Dorman oil cooler, (the expensive metal one, not the cheap OEM plastic original), and was done 5 hours later. Out of curiosity, I followed up on the head gasket repair with them, never got a call back in the 3 months since I brought it in with the oil leak issue. I always had to call them, only to get told that they will call me right back. I called again 2 days ago, was told by Ron "That I would get a call back later that day. Cause he new. And he wasn't there when I brought my vehicle in the first time. And they do things differently now". Cause Ron there now. Alas, no call back. New Ron, same old ways. Called today and was told that they want to put a new engine in the van instead. I have absolutely no trust in them now. Maxi, do y'all have a negative star section? Or do y'all have to do a work up for that as well? Response to Jason C. My van Has been wEll maintained. High milage Synthetic oil replAced without fail at 10k miles since it was bought with 34k miles. Of course the oil level would be low if the oil cooler blew, causing oil to leak. As soon as the warning came on, the van was immediately shut off and TOWED, not driven, to your Pad, Maxi, that is. To insinuAte a vehicleS engine iS not well maintained basEd on the outward appearance is bad business. The Dings and cracked windshield are the results of I-10's loose asphalt. Clean interior, no rust, clean Body, shiny paint job, no vibrations, no damage except for the dings on the hood and windshield. What's poorly maintained is your employees ability to follow Up on calls and not diagnosing a blown oil cooler. Money for your employees time spent is not the issue. Money spent for diagnostics, and not diagnosing a oil leak on the upper engine is a problem. Especially since, in your own words, Jason C., is that you all are very familiar with 3.6L Ram Promaster engines. So, how was the time spent? Not diagnosing a blown oiL cooler. Bring all issues to the forefront, like y'all did with the windshield and hood dings and tires and rear brakes and etc. Tires and rear pads, You say? I didn't bring it in for those. Discount tire handles my tires, Mineke for brakes. Kinda far away from under the hood there, weren't you? One thing to note is whenever a customer leaves a bad review based on their experiences, and there are a few, is that the go to defense is to lay the customers vehicle condition bare. One bad review is one thing, a few is NOT coincidence. Still no issues suggesting cracked head gaskets or cylinder heads. Van has run so quietly, from 7 feet away, you wouldn't think that it was on. Not how a "poorly maintained engine" would sound, does it. YouTube videos and a laissez faire attitude may take your customers away. They took me away. Good Luck. Facetiously, AfghanStan. But since you want to list names, you listed my personal information on a public forum. If I wanted my name listed, it wouldn't say AfghanStan. You should have a lawyer friend to tell you that. If you don't have one, maybe you should have that listed in your "system" as well. Oh, the call where I said another shop told me Head Gaskets was Maxi's integrity test. Hmmm..... Who knows anything about cyphers? read more

Got a great alignment for my BMW at a great price. Good work done in a timely fashion.

Justin is the manager and he had great customer service and followed up after the work was done. I would recommend this auto body shop as they did a great job servicing a flat tire. read more

Brought my car in because I thought diesel got into my tank. Thought it would be around 2-500 based on internet pricing of the repair for that. Comes to be they only had to siphon the gas out and there was none. Well I got a bill for $360 and the explanation is 2 hrs of work and $20 of gas. I'm sorry but where in the world do you charge $120/HR? And to just siphon gas??? And $20 was not in my tank, it takes $30 to fill and it's not even halfway full. Didn't have to drop the gas tank or replace the fuel filter. This place will rob you blind. Stay away read more

They are very thorough and will make sure you automobile is in tip top shape before leaving. The employees are very professional and helpful.. I found my new repair shop for all my needs.

Rare these days to find a place that is honest and providing amazing service. Will bring all of our future auto needs to Maxi Auto Repair given this one fantastic experience and assistance provide by Adam and team at Maxi. I was out of town for work and my 20yo daughter calls in a bit of a panic as her side (not main cover) under carriage cover on her Hyundai Veloster came loose and was dragging the ground. While the vehicle is a 2020, this would not be considered something covered by warranty (even though IMO it should not have come off as normal wear and seems like a fault with design). Dealer was going to take several days to look at it and quoted range of $400-$700 for repair. The OEM part is $132 and can get after market for around $50. Spoke with Adam who knew exactly what I was referring to and was able to get my daughter in later the same day after she was done with her classes. He was not expecting to find much and noted it would likely be a very quick fix to reattach. She got her vehicle over there and within 5 minutes the issue was resolved. Thank You Maxi Auto Repair!! read more

Maxi Auto Care replaced my engine in my Toyota Tundra, I was skeptical at first. But after having a master mechanic at Toyota look it over after they installed it. He said they did a great job and absolutely crushed it. If I can recommend anyone You have to ask for Daniel when you get in he is the service manager up there and he answers any and all questions you may have. He's a genuine guy that is honest and makes sure your vehicle is top tier when you leave. (That's hard to come by these days for a mechanic!) read more

The staff there is really nice and friendly, they are honest about their work, in another words they don't try to rip you off like other places. read more

I have been there twice and the staff and mechanic were very helpful in servicing my car. I hope this will be my go-to stop from now on.

My daughter had a rear tail light out. It was Christmas Eve when I called them and they said to bring it in. They fixed the light and aired her tires and wouldn't accept any money. They were very professional and polite. I live in Arizona but would be tempted to drive cross country to use them. That's how impressed I was. read more

I had an issue with my pickup and I am glad I brought it to Maxi Auto Care! They fixed my issue quickly, professionally, and at a great price! From now on this will be my go to place for auto repair. Thank you! read more

I usually take my cars to another repair shop, but for my Carmax extended warranty, they said I had to use a third party shop..Maxi Auto Care. I was real skeptical because I've read many horror stories reviews of other third party shops adding on un-needed repairs. I was very impressed with the professionalism of Kevin and the rest of Maxi Auto Care crew. They run their place like a Brand name car dealership shop. Kevin ran diags on my car and sent me a very detailed email explaining what was wrong and extra items to be aware of ( pictures included ). I thanked him for the heads up on my tires and serpetine belt, but just went with the repair. My total was only my $50 deductible. I can't say enough about how happy and impressed I was with Maxi Auto Care. I highly recommend them. read more

Generally seemed to do a good job, and I'd try the place again. The tire pressure was low after I got my car back, but the replacement wiper blades are the best I've ever used. Update: the next time I brought it in they overinflated the tires. read more

This place has been around long before I was born! And my family has been doing business with them ever since they settled in Jacksonville. They're honest people and don't try to steal your money like some other big companies. They do a great job! read more

Maxi has serviced my family's cars for several years and we kept going back because of the fair prices and reliable service.

After moving here from Wisconsin, my car developed a rattle. I checked the BBB site for a mechanic and chose this place. They fixed it for under $30. My car has had a brake shudder for several years. I have had front brakes completely redone in Wisconsin. Still have the shudder. So, I mentioned this to the service associate/manager. She told me it may be the back brakes because they inspected the front and rear and the pads and rotors on the front "looked good". I had an appointment for rear brakes to clean, machine the drum. I mentioned to Carmen again that it's a shudder. She said "the rear brakes need to be cleaned every 6 months" and since I have never had that done to try that and if the shudder remains they would check front brakes. I paid $127 for the back, the mechanic test drove it and said "it's improved but not completely without shudder". So I was told that either I could "live with the shudder or bring it back for front brakes", after spending 2 hours there! I don't get time off during the week, I took a half day off work already hoping the problem would be fixed. I called and spoke with the other service associate and he couldn't help me either! I told them when I got there that day for the appointment that it wasn't the back brakes but they refused to listen. Also I can barely pull up the parking brake because they made it too tight!!!! Very disappointed! read more

These guys were straight forward, no-nonsense, quick, and friendly. I had an exhaust pipe repair done, they let me walk in without an appointment and were able to take care of it within a couple hours. Will definitely make this our new go-to shop. read more

awesome place! super friendly staff, worked with my schedule without hassle, provided link to description/pictures of courtesy inspection, sent pdf detailed estimates, extremely fair prices ~ would def recommend!! read more

To follow up on my negative experience (and review) of Tuffy Tire & Auto, my son ended up taking his car to this repair shop to have the backup light switch replaced. His reverse lights kept coming on overnight, killing his battery. Tuffy did not listen, ignored the diagnostic results provided by AAA, and scammed my son out of $450 for a new (unneeded) alternator. Maxi Muffler & Brake listened, provided excellent service, and quickly replaced the switch. His car is now fixed for a total of $75. The mechanic seemed knowledgeable and honest, the wait was short, the place was clean, and the price was fair. Everything about this experience was positive, even going into it highly frustrated. I would recommend Maxi to others. read more

My car broke down on Friday, 5/6/22, having just done $5,500 repairs on 3/23/22, only drove less than 60 miles before the, 5/6/22, brake down. Picked up my car again on Monday, 5/9/22, after paying another $431 for a new battery and new belt that they said looked worn. Why wasn't the serpentine replaced the week you had it in March? I felt you where just looking for things to pad my bill with if it wasn't necessary/noticed in March after I asked you to check my belts. You said they were fine a month later and around 50 miles later my car needed a new serpentine belt. Today, Tuesday, 5/10/22, I drove my car to my local Winn Dixie about 4.5 miles. When I returned to my car about an hour later, it wouldn't start. Had it towed it my home after the roadside assistance couldn't get my car to turnover even after trying to jump it. Atleast before you changed my battery on Monday it would start with a jump. Hoping tomorrow when I return my car to Maxi they can finally fix it and I can feel safe driving it again without fear of being stranded again. Thank god I have roadside assistance. read more

I have taken my Honda here many, many times. John always gives honest recommendations and never tries to up-sell. He knows I'm on a budget and I can always trust him to steer me right. My whole family goes to Maxi and we love it. Definitely highly recommended for honesty and integrity! read more

Excellent service! Took in a Honda Accord as I thought the muffler was bad. I was going to go to that national muffler chain, but after a few mediocre reviews on Yelp I saw Maxi Muffler had many stars. I'm glad I came here. I was brought out to the service bay where the repairman told me what the real problem was....a rotten resonator. I thought I'd be spending several hundred on a muffler when he suggested a much cheaper and satisfactory solution. A place I can trust. Bravo. read more

I went to Maxie for some maintenance work. I was told there was excess "play" in my steering which at the time was nearly imperceptible. They were going to charge me $1200 to replace my rack and pinion saying the car was unsafe to drive. My fiancé said not to do that then but we would follow up as he had researched the part and it could be bought for $150 on eBay which already was proving to be a greater than 200% markup because they wanted to charge $500 just for the part! So fast forward to today...fiancé bought remanufactured R&P, I took it to a different shop for the repair, and was told IT WASN'T MY RACK AND PINION at all!!! It was a stupid $2.35 coupling in the steering column!!!! The actual repair only cost me $300. Do NOT take your cars to Maxie Auto Care. They are CROOKED. read more

As a previous owner of a '96 Honda until 2012, I visited Maxi several times - sometimes driving myself and sometimes with my car being dropped off on a tow truck. Either way, John was ALWAYS accommodating! I have never been somewhere so honest and helpful. Knowing I was on a tight budget as a student, not only would John break down the issues with my car and tell me whether they needed urgent action, he would also take the time to explain the issues to me. The time he spent doing this has made me return time and time again. Every time I told my stepdad back home the issue with my car and the price I was quoted from Maxi, he would always say I was getting a great deal without a doubt. The only reason I give a 4 is because I wish they had weekend hours, but at the same time it says a lot that they can stay closed on the weekends and still be doing great! read more

This team is great! Not only was I able to get my alternator replaced same day, but that also assisted getting me back to my hotel, since I was there for work, and picking me up to get my car. Again, a very exceptional and professional team! read more

Absolutely excellent, honest service and fair prices. I am new to the area and did not have a good mechanic. I had a exhaust, suspension and small oil leak issue on a car I recently bought. They fixed the holes in the entire exhaust, adjusted the suspension to the proper height and found that my value gasket was causing a leak which they replaced. This was for a Lexus which usually means big money repairs. Instead it was extremely reasonable and the work was done in a very timely fashion. Plus they personally followed up with two phone calls one and two weeks later to make sure everything was perfect. After driving the car for a month I realized the suspension was a bit to high so I brought it back in and they took 2 hours lowering down a bit, free of charge. While I was there my other vehicle had a taillight that was out. I backed up the vehicle, they took off the taillight, replaced the bulb and sent me out the door with a smile. Again free of charge. Highly recommend Maxi!!! The entire team does a great job. read more

I thought this place was good, man am I wrong. They charged me for doing nothing to my car. My car was taken over there to see what is wrong with the AC and they wanted to charge me over 500 bucks! I decline the service that needed to be done because its too expensive and they still charged me 150 bucks for doing nothing to my car except a diagnose that did nothing good. That big old sign that says COLD AC above their shop will fool you, just to rip you off. Be careful people. read more
