    Update: The business responded after my original review and asked me to bring the vehicle back in…read more However, I had already given them multiple opportunities to address the issue. The vehicle was in their possession for over three weeks, and when it was returned, several of the same issues remained unresolved. I even brought it back the following day for an oil leak that was still not corrected. I have since obtained an independent inspection indicating that some of the services I was charged for were not performed or could not be verified, along with additional concerns identified after their repair. At this point, I am no longer comfortable returning the vehicle to the same shop and am pursuing formal complaints and small claims. Update: The business responded publicly asking me to reach out, however I have already contacted them multiple times (including emails sent on April 7 and April 10) and received no response. I am still waiting for a resolution. paid $3,087.65 for repairs that, according to a licensed mechanic's written inspection, were not completed. My vehicle was in the shop for over three weeks, and I was charged for a CV axle replacement, tire replacement, and tire services that were not actually performed. The vehicle is still leaking oil. They also missed repairs like the serpentine belt and wheel bearings. If said work was actually done they wouldn't have missed the wheel bearings, and serpentine belt while they had the engine apart and while apparently replacing the left front CV/axel. Which I would have happily paid for. I have reached out to the business to resolve this and have received no response. This has been an extremely frustrating and costly experience. I would not trust this shop without verifying all work independently.

    When you walk into the waiting room, the smell of fresh coffee and cookies greets you. The lounge…read morearea has newspapers, reading material and a TV. As you glance around you notice a container of free snacks, fresh cookies and the password to their WiFi connection. A play area for children and a frig of soda and water for customers. It seems hard to believe you have come to Grease Monkey in Ruskin for an oil change or other car service they provide. Owners Joe and Mellisa Canfield set the standard for customer service and fair prices. From Kurt Beachler who greets you as you enter to the mechanic who will explain the service they provided you will join the list of satisfied customers who keep coming back. This location has been recognized for the service they provide as a wall of accolades and certificates of merit will attest to. I must admit I was tempted to go back for seconds on the chocolate chip cookies but a second cup of coffee took priority.

    AAA is a one stop, do it all, auto repair service. . I have an older nissan 300zx where everything…read morejust stopped working. No a/c- defogger-blower no air flow, also no front or rear working wipers and the power mirrors stopped working. AAA came to my residence and Mike ran diagnostic testing while working on my driveway floor. After removing trim panels and checking every fuse box,and switch inside and outside of the car, he found the problem and ordered the part. Once the part was received it was installed and everything was reassembled. While there he also changed my oil and filter. The repair cost was reasonable compared to the labor time it took to find and resolve the problem, remove all the needed trim panels and reassemble all the parts in a very professional manner. AAA is now my go to Auto repair service center

    I can not say enough good things about Mike & his team (his wife), they were professional, ethical…read moreand reliable. Called him to come do what I thought was a simple battery swap, it turned out to be a little more problematic than that (typical Chrysler) but Mike kept me informed every step of the way and didn't just throw parts at the problem to see if that worked he took his time to get to the root of the problem on our Jeep Grand Cherokee, the best part is he does this all from where ever you are so I was able to keep working while he worked on our Jeep. Way cheaper than going to any dealer and such a better value as you get to talk to the mechanic working on your car so you stay informed every step of the way you aren't just guessing if they are working on it they are working on it. If you are in the need of a mechanic I highly recommend giving him a call. you will not find a better more honest mechanic. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars.

    I moved to Florida a little over a year ago, and hadn't needed any auto work until recently. I…read moreborrowed my parents 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and after I got back to Ruskin from their home in Deltona (about 2 hrs. away), I noticed an oil leak the following morning. I had driven past the FYZ Auto care shop many times, but now I needed a mechanic--I brought it to the shop and Gil, one of the owners, greeted me in the office. He took the time to listen to my concerns, and I felt comfortable to let his shop take care of my parents' truck. Turns out it had some significant issues, and the leak was originating from where the engine and the transmission connect. Gil had the truck up on the lift, pointed out what was wrong and explained the issue clearly. He worked up a fair price and even though the work took an additional day to complete, he didn't try to charge more for extra labor. He guaranteed the work for 6 months. As an extra perk, I was in the process of buying a used vehicle from Carvana, and I brought it to his shop to give it a once over before finalizing the purchase. He gave it a clean bill of health and the SUV I purchased has been amazing--and that inspection gave me peace of mind and helped seal the deal. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. A couple of weeks after I brought the truck back to my parents, they said there was another leak. I brought the truck back to FYZ, where they checked it again, and made sure everything was working fine. They are a small shop, and sometimes get busy with work, but Gil is a good, honest guy and I look forward to working with him in the future for any my automotive needs.

    These guys are great! Alex gave me a quote $150 less than Shephards in Bradenton and pulled my car…read morein and knocked out the job 1hr12 faster than Shephards. Great work with OEM parts and kind folks. Will be back for all my services. Thank you Alex!

I had a problem with my hybrid system. that is scary if your not a tech head.Rick was fabulous. they repaired it in 1 day and at a very fair price. they are very able and professional their business if very clean and so are they. they shared their research with me ab=nd I learned a lot about my car I didn't know. I am switching to them.I have had my current mechanic for many years but he doesn't work on the battery system. they do. plus I like them.

    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
