It is fantastic knowing that you can take your vehicle to a mechanic and know that you will not be steered incorrectly! I have been coming to Hoover Automotive for several years, and what keeps me returning are that fair prices on parts/labor, the rapport that Thomas builds with his customers, the time-efficient/quality mechanics, the courteous updates given throughout each servicing, & the level of professionalism that all companies should keep in mind when winning over customers' loyalty! Keep up the outstanding work!

Each and every…read moremechanic, including the owner and the Service Manager, excels at knowledge, service, honesty, and expertise when it comes to repair work, custom work, and customer communications. The respect and kindness they show is equaled by the "Can-Do" trust they command. I was lucky enough to find them about 4 years ago, and I won't have my truck worked on by anyone else. They have all the professional assets my Dealer had, yet the non-corporate attitude. You can reason with them, explain details and expect them to really listen (and understand). They are serious about the business and it shows. Often I will wait for my vehicle while maintenance or repairs are being done and I have a first-hand view of how they handle customers, delivery personnel, difficult situations, etc. Every customer seems like they must be a good friend or a family member. That's how I felt from the beginning and I see now that it's not I am not really that special - it's the team who is special. These guys are responsible. Questions or follow-up concerns are addressed immediately - They will give you their attention and they will make sure you drive away as a completely satisfied customer. There is no doubt you will be very impressed. You get more than what you pay for here.

Steve and the guys at Transmission Hero are terrific! He…read moresaved me big $$! I took my 2018 Chevy Silverado there to get a transmission fluid service done because I had the "Chevy Shakes", and I wanted to see if that would help. There were codes on my code-reader that didn't make any sense, along with the "Random Misfires" code. I was fully expecting the verdict would wind up being that I'd need a new 6L80 transmission (or engine problems). But Steve's integrity came out right away. Steve said we should not do a fluid change until we first do diagnostics and see the whole picture. He's a talker... and very dogmatic, so be patient and listen to him... he definitely has tons of experience in this. He explained to me that many Chevy/GMC 5.3L V-8 engines have Active Fuel Management (AFM), and that the AFM programming in the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the over-complicated programming in the Transmission ECM (TECM) can cause the Torque Converter to lock & unlock too much; there's too much "noise". The shifting from V-8 to 4-cylinder (and back), changing speeds, braking, all cause constant Torque Converter "chatter", and I could definitely feel it. It was shakin' & shuddering! So they first ran diagnostics, and very importantly, live diagnostics while driving it so they could see the converter chattering, engine misfires, live data, etc. He told me there's likely "nothing wrong with your transmission", but we need to quiet the noise. He proposed an AFM Delete. Not the cheap little thing you get on Amazon, mind you (those don't work well), he was able to re-flash the ECM & TECM to remove the AFM programming, improve the transmission function, and also we went with new plugs, coils, and wires; BAM! No more shimmy, shimmy, cocoa-pop! NO codes on the OBD-II Scanner/Code reader! Now I have one smooth running pick'em up truck with an engine that's a full-time V-8, not dropping cylinders due to AFM. And... not sure why, but over the 2 weeks since we got this great resolution, it's getting better fuel mileage too! What I thought was going to be a very expensive problem, Transmission Hero got me out the door for a fraction of the expected costs. Thanks Steve.

The last car a BMW came in for oil drain pan seal replacement that cost $5000 and when he received the car back the brake lights were not working. Now how does that happen! Gary said he did not do that, so my friend left it with him again and one month later he says it is fixed but it was not two months after that he says it is fixed and wanted to charge him another $850!!! After calling bullshit on that he lowered the bill to $450. This is a pattern with this business they start with the original problem and then other things pop up making that bill larger and larger. Do not take your car to Gary's Car Craft.

I have done business with this company since it was a business,..back when they were located on Blanding closer to 103rd Street up by Paint Pros...if. not mistaken that was their shop location, however this goes back to 2013-2014... The Actual owner was doing the work then with helpers or other mechanics... I brought my car to them based on a referral from a friend...saying they were New and Honest and did Good Work at a Reasonable Price Point....THE HOLY GRAIL in DUVAL it seems...so I did...and they did..and I established rapport with the owner as I promised I would do my work solely with him if he met those expectations given from the referral....I ended up moving to the Southside and lost touch...when I looked for them again they were gone...they moved....Fast Forward maybe 10 years I still have the same Car and I was in need of some repair as I had not found another "HOLY GRAIL" type shop since...so I just thought...I KNOW I USED TO HAVE A GOOD A MECHANIC....I just couldn't remember the name...so I just began typing Auto repair and Automotive into my contacts to see what popped up...then the SCHUTTER name pops up...I am like Ohhh Ish!!! That's them!!! Thinking ahhh I am saved no more BS Mechanics saying they can do X Y Z work but in actuality are full of it...So when it starts there are a few repairs done with some exceeding $1000 in price...and a few of the prices I felt were kinda exorbitant...however not too outlandish and these WERE my "Guys" you know...I THOUGHT...hey even if they charge me a little more...I am going to get SUPER QUALITY...OEM Parts...Good Word for that Money........Uhhhhhh I DON'T THINK SO..... So there were a few things that I should have but never went to War about...my Wipers stopped working Totally...anybody that Lives here knows you can't have that...so I requested them to fix them...and over $400+ later I get my car...the wipers work .. however the intermittent setting is something out of a bad movie...they do what TF they want to do, however this Company sent my car out like that and charged me...I didn't say anything that time as my main concern of having wipers was addressed,..however I was not very impressed by the work...ok the next outing..my vehicle was towed to them by some guys I know that Own a Towing Company...can't remember the actual work done however it was definitely several hundred dollars...they call me and say hey car is ready...ok great...I get there and there is some weird A indention near the bottom of the door on the passenger side....and for the 1st time my car is staged to parked after repair outside right next to a FNG Dumpster...from what I guess that was to conceal the indentation...I asked and they immediately blamed it on the Tow Truck Drivers.. without hesitation... I let it go as the work was done the indentation is not big time visible and again been working with these guys for years...Ok final thing which brings me to the reason for this review....you can see pictures and video on Social Media...I have a very slow leak from my Transmission Oil Cooler Line...I now have a Neighborhood Mechanic who does smaller jobs for me....he and I looked at and located the leaking culprit a d it was the Lower Cooler Line....he was swamped at the time and needed to truly diagnose the issue before working on it, but was 1000% certain the leak was very slow and it originated from that Cooler Line. He couldn't do the work so I decided to take it to my "Big Dawg Mechanic" the ones I knew or THOUGHT I KNEW could do Big Work. I say and explained in VIVID DETAIL to the intake guy while outside Hood Up looking at the issue. Oh BTW on the way there my Power Window mysteriously went out...so let's kill 2 birds with one stone...I asked for that to be fixed as well and I have had this done at other places...but hey I am here let's fix it...ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS TIGHTEN THE COOLER LINE....THAT IS ALL...They fixed NOTHING actually loosened it more than when I brought it... ***************UPDATE********************** So after KYLE one of the owner's now or runs the books, stated to me "We'll give you the $140 back, just don't ever come back, what's the Card Number the charge was made on?" I waited 3-5 Business Days quietly no other talks except what I had posted initially, as I figured I was done with them and them with me.... but Oh No,.. as it would have it THEY WELCHED ON THEIR WORD............

The staff refused to provide an estimate and stated that in order to do so, they would need to charge $214 to open the transmission. I already know the transmission is slipping and that the only reasonable options are to rebuild it or install a new one. Despite this, I never received an estimate. It seems that unless you pay $214 upfront, they will not disclose any pricing information. It should be simple -- I want a new transmission. Why open the faulty one first? This experience has been extremely frustrating. Such practices might mislead someone unfamiliar with vehicles, but I know cars, and I find this approach unacceptable.
