Was here today having Steve and Co. check out a car which we decided to buy based upon his inspection. I'm hoping this can be our friendly neighborhood car shop for the next couple of decades. They appear to specialize in older cars. For our inspection today we felt it was a very good value. read more

See all

Can't speak highly enough about Steve. He Took care of a leaky rear differential on my 2012 Mustang. It took a bit of trial and error to find out what was causing the leak, but Steve got it right. He even offered to wash my car afterward. Great guy - very customer focused. read more

Steve and his team are the best around. If you're looking for honest, great customer service, you can't go wrong with Steve's Auto.

I have used Steve's for several years for both routine service as well as complicated repairs to seats, Windows, and door locks. He is honest, fair and very knowledgable and reasonable. I recommend Steve's without a doubt. read more

Due to COVID, a year after I left it, I arrived at the airport to find my car in long-term parking with wires chewed up. I also needed a battery and a window was broken. My place is in Naples, so I rented a car and left. Next day, I called Steve himself and he could not have been more helpful. I had the car towed to his place and I left to go back to the Northeast. Steve called during the next few weeks to discuss the repairs needed, fixed everything perfectly and even drove my car back to the airport so that I could pick it up and drive away like nothing happened. Amazing help in a time of need, even 2,000 miles away! Excellent service and work and reasonable priced! read more

I like using Steve's. He tells me what work needs to be done and work that's optional. He's not the cheapest but prices are fair and less than dealerships. I trust his work and fairness. I've used their service many times and always been satisfied read more

I have called Steve several times about issues with my 1996 300ZX and he cheerfully offered free advice. I have some automotive knowledge and Steve showed me how I could fix the car myself and not have to pay him. He treated my like I was his favorite relative. Thank you read more

I am so happy I found Steve! He is honest and hardworking. Hard to come by these days. Definitely the man to go to with any car problems!

Honest, experienced, and fair. The three most important things to look for in a great mechanic. Steve and his crew are second to none when it comes to complete auto repair. The always full parking lot, in season and out, is testimony that this guy runs a very successful business and still greets all his customers with a firm, old fashion hand shake. I've been servicing my family and business vehicle's with Steve for the past six years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

Took my van into have the engine looked at on a Wednesday morning. He called Wednesday evening and said he couldn't find the problem. I told him to keep it overnight and start it in the morning because it would misfire only if engine had been off overnight. He call the next morning and tells me that it could be a couple different issues. I told him okay I will come pick it up. When I arrived to get my van he charged me $50 to tell me what it could be and not what it is. Took it somewhere else and they couldn't find the issue that day and didn't charge me a dime to look at it. I have never dealt with a company that would charge to tell me what something could be. It would be different if he charged $50 and said this is the problem and this is what is will cost to repair. Total rip off!!!! read more

We just moved to PG from PA and didn't have any idea where to start with a mechanic. Our wheel bearing was in bad shape on our Ford Edge and needed replacement. I called on a Friday morning and they said it could possibly be done the same day!! The best part was that they came through and got it fixed!! Steve himself stayed later on Friday night so I could pick it up. Excellent service, excellent work and a bunch of hard workers at the shop. Steve was a really nice guy, even at 6:00 on a Friday night after a long hot week of work. read more

Steve just successfully repaired my 1980 MGB & I was thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience. He does what he says he will do!

I had a very unfavorable experience at this shop. I have been traveling over 100 miles to use a mechanic out of town for the past 11 years since i know and trust him. This time, I was not able to take my car there, since my starter had failed and i was stranded. I went to Steve's based on a couple of local recommendations that he was honest. I was given a verbal estimate of "around $300" to diagnose and replace the starter. I got no written estimate, and was not called to be told it would be significantly more. When I went to pick up my car, the bill was $515. I was told the part alone was $293, and 2.1 hours of labor was charged. I have two family members in the auto parts industry, and they sourced the part at $90 wholesale. My mechanic out of town also confirmed that the part price was outrageously inflated, and that Florida State Law was not followed as to the estimate. When I complained about the bill, I was told that I should be happy because my car was fixed in one day. I had no idea there was an "upcharge" to replace a starter or repair a car in a timely fashion. Needless to say, I have gone to Steve's twice in the same day....first and last time!! read more
