I asked them to check the front brakes to make sure everything was proper. They did check which gave me peace of mind. Well my car brakes better now and the petal is more firm. When I got there to get my repair done, they called a taxi for me so I can get home while waiting for the repair to be done. They were very honest and the owner Jim is a very nice guy. I recommend this auto repair shop.

Cadillac can no longer reair and they do not make the part and only can replace with new parts. Venice Auto Techs are professional and knowledgeable. Igor was very responsive and engaging when diagnosing the issues. Venice Auto Tech was able to source the part which I was told by others would be very difficult to find and replace and program the ABS module in the care. He was able to do the ABS module replacement and programming work for reasonable rates AND, they warranty their work as well. I am very well pleased with this company and will use these mechanics going forward. Give them a try!

From gear shit replacement, brakes, tires, etc, they have never let me down. I also have found them to not overcharge the way other businesses have been known to do. I recommend them to anyone new to the general South Sarasota/North Charlotte Counties area. A good family business that proudly stands behind the family name that has earned respect of many in the greater Venice/Englewood/Nokomis areas.

I made an appointment to have the oil changed at 1:00 on a Friday and it went really well. The service writer was very helpful and courteous. It took about 45 minutes and the cost was reasonable. No upsell, no delay, just quick service. I overhear several phone calls with customers while I was waiting that sounded very professional and honest. The waiting room was the cleanest that I have ever experienced in a small shop like this. They had water and seltzer in a mini fridge. They also had a Kurig for coffee. I recommend them to anyone needing service. Thanks for a great service experience.

Cost was very reasonable - much less than the dealer quote. This year I returned to ask about a worrisome brake noise. He checked it out immediately and explained what was happening and how to deal with it. He declined any payment even though he spent about 45 minutes with me. Dave is a truly honest man and a great mechanic. His garage is my first choice for auto service.

Dave is just one honest mechanic. I had a tire that was giving me fits...it had a slow leak that I…read morecould not locate for the life of me. I first went to Mavis and two young guys looked at the tire and said it could not be repaired; tire had to be replaced. What I found interesting was one of the two said "I see the screw causing the leak and it is definitely unrepairable." The irony was he wasn't even pointing to the sheetrock screw the other kid identified. So they gave me a price of $279 installed for a new tire... I left and remembered seeing this little garage listed on Yelp, "Dave's Garage" and that's where I headed. Dave was by himself today and some guy had an appointment so he politely said, pull the Buick in, the guy is a half hour late already. He took the tire off, repaired it and proceeded to tell me his stories. He has had quite a past. But he has been operating in Venice for 19 years. As he finished the repair and another story, he said $20 sir. I gave him $25 and said $20 for the repair and a small tip for entertaining me today. All I can say is this guy is the real deal; a throwback to my childhood 60+ years ago when I used to hang out at McWilliams Garage near my house. Honest, highly qualified, and full of life's stories. He's a great mechanic and a good person.
