Needed a new drive shaft in my 1998 S10 truck and it had a mild roar which was kind of an old issue in my mind. They built a new drive shaft for my truck and WOW what a great job. It is super quiet now like a new truck again and even accelerates smoother. I am amazed at how quiet the ride is now. These guys are great at what they do. Thank you Dwight Webb read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR DIESEL THERE! Over the course of acouple months I've been having fuel related problems. At first it was a fuel filter. Got the truck towed there. They replaced the fuel filter. Next day I get on the highway. Truck dies again going down the road. Got it towed back again. While waiting on my ride to pick me up I go to check it out myself. I notice diesel leaking out of the bleeder valve beneath the fuel filter. They over tightened the valve causing it to leak. Replaced myself and drove away from shop. Not even two weeks later the fuel pump exploded. Instead of 7500 I spent 10g to have it converted to the trustworthy cp3 fuel pump. After leaving I get broke down again! No acceleration whatsoever. One of the fuel lines fell off causing diesel to leak all over the motor. Luckily it's not like regular gas and highly combustible. Ofcourse I didn't find that out for myself after I had the truck towed to the house and started investigating myself. Put it back on properly and was fine. I don't drive the truck much when it's not hurricane season but maybe once or twice a week. Over time I've developed a ticking noise that has gradually gotten worse. Instead of taking the truck back to them I've decided to pull the plug with their shop for obvious reasons and find a more trustworthy guy. Way more thorough and honest. If ya'll want name and phone number let me know. Not only did he find the reason for the ticking noise but also the slow coolant leak I've had for over a year without even asking about it. Anyways, back to special forces mechanics. They're lazy and not competent when putting your truck back together. Reason of the ticking noise that has gradually gotten worse was due to a copper washer they forgot to put on one of the injectors causing it to look like it went through a washing machine. I'm lucky it only took a seal kit to fix and I'm back on the road. They're lack of incompetency couldve cost me a lot more. I hope my review will detour some of ya'll taking your truck there for repairs when it comes to something complicated. Our trucks deserve better mechanics than what Special Forces has on hand... read more

See all

I had work done by Special Forces in South Daytona on my vehicle. Very fair priced. Very knowledgeable explaining every detail. They take pride in their work and honest. Strongly recommend. read more

I had an issue with my car where it acted like it was going stall, like if you were running out of gas. And the fuze/relay for the fuel pump under the hood was buzzing and vibrating. They still maintained that it was because it needed a tune up, did that ingnored the wiring issue I mainly wanted fixed, and charged me $1000. When they called to tell me I said do the wiring I'll do the tune up. He got mad and said he already got the parts when I hadn't played the work yet. If they're still in business I don't know how, About as dishonest and slimy as it gets if you ask me. They knew money was right for me. A family member took care of the bill so I could make payment, or it never would have happened. He practically begged for me to let him do the tune up, and ignored the wiring. Which I'm dealing with again now, myself. They don't deserve the one rating even. It will come back to them. read more

Special Forces did a fine job getting my truck fixed up. Honest guys and quality service. What more could I ask for!

Honest, excellent, highly competent service of my Toyota Tundra. Special Forces diagnosed and replaced the axle bearings. A problem missed by my regular shop (who referred me to them). I highly recommend this shop. read more

I had a great experience here. They were honest when I was ready and willing to spend extra money and told me I didn't need to. Great work, prompt, kept me updated and they were very knowledgeable. And everyone wa a down to earth. read more

The nicest, most straight forward shop i have ever been too. Mitch is a good, honest guy who always gets my car fixed the right way the first time. I'll never take my car anywhere else. read more

Thanks for scratching and dinging our car door, trying to touch it up and not telling us about it. Not only will we not be back, but we'll make sure nobody we know will visit you either. Also make sure your young techs don't talk trash about customers and their cars in front of guests. Not too bright I think. read more

Super friendly staff My vehicle was diagnostic correctly and I was surprised they use only original replacement parts from my vehicles dealer Firm believer in using dealer parts Was also surprised at the cost very affordable ! Thanks special forces automotive read more

My class A motorhome transmission would go into neutral every time I put it in drive. Read reviews and paid almost $300 to have it towed to a shop. Got an estimate of $7,500. Paid another tow bill and had it towed to Special Forces, where the repair bill was $500. You do the math. read more

Had an issue with my car and brought it to these guys. They called me the next day and told me it was done, I had blown the motor. I was devastated but this didn't seem right, there was only about 80,000 miles on the car and I had kept up with oil changes. So we got a second opinion. The a/c had simply seized up. They bypassed the a/c and $60 later I was driving down the road. I wouldn't trust these people to work on my weed whacker. read more

I brought my truck here recently because it has been experiencing several issues. They charged me an $80 "diagnostic fee", which was supposed to include a thorough inspection and a diagnosis about the issues. When I returned, they had told me there was one issue with the truck and that they could repair it for a certain price. They didn't perform an inspection like they said they would. Furthermore, they wouldn't apply the fee I paid to the repairs. I took my truck to another shop and they said that the repair first suggested was only PART of the issue and I needed to have a couple of other things done (I know this is true because I completed the suggested repair and it did not fix the entire issue). Also, the second shop's prices were HALF the prices estimated by Special Forces! They also completed a free inspection and found that my brake rotor and pads are worn. In summary, they charged an $80 fee and didn't perform the thorough analysis that they said they would, their prices were twice as much as their competitor's, and their quality was sub-par. I will NEVER go back to this shop! read more

My husband and I have been going to Special Forces since we bought our Excursion back in '09. They have always been super friendly, attentive, and will answer all of your questions. We are from Ormond, and stopped going there for about a year, as another shop opened up right around the corner from us. We soon realized that was a mistake after they ripped us off, and could not diagnose our trucks problem. Back to Special Forces we went, and we soon realized we should have never left in the first place. The owner, Mitch is amazing! He always goes above and beyond to accommodate all of this customers. They figured out what was going on with the truck, replaced the fuel pump, and didn't charge us a dime until they were certain that that was the issue. If the truck still had the issue - they told me to bring it back, and they would put in the old pump, but if it worked to let them know. After a week of the truck starting without issues, we finally had our answer, so I called and paid over the phone. There are not many business nor people that would do this for their customers. Reasons why my husband will continue to bring our truck here, and tell everyone we know to take their vehicle here as well! read more
