The team here at Gulf Coast is great! I traveled 25 minutes to get here because nobody close to my house was answering the phone. Gulf Coast changed out my battery that nobody else wanted to deal with because it's in a tricky spot. They charged me their cost for the battery and a half hour worth of labor. It doesn't get any better than that.

Everyone was very nice to me and respectful towards me and they were just wonderful people I would really recommend Everyone to take your vehicle to them because they do a wonderful job because they fixed my jeep wrangler and they did a great job and I will take my jeep there again if I need my jeep fixed again.

Honest folks! Do good work. Just bought another car to take north. Didn't realize it had subframe problems when I brought it in for motor mounts. The good folks at Gulf Coast pointed this out and made a repair to get us north. Didn't charge me! Shows their integrity for their profession and the wellbeing of their customer!Services: Brakes, Air conditioning, Oil changeServices: Brakes, Air conditioning, Oil change

They have a car for sale for me, but it takes them forever. To do what they say they're going to do. They sound promising.

I came here thinking my transmission was messed up and so I let the mechanic look at it. He hooked it up to a diagnostics machine, got the codes, then drove it. Came back and told me it was the spark plugs. What a relief! I wasn t able to have all of them changed that day because they were busy and I was going out of town so we compromised and changed the one that was showing a code! I went back a week later and he finished it up all for less than $300! The team was amazing and worked with me and my work schedule the whole way. 10 out 10 recommended!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

I cannot say enough great things about the team at Gulf Coast Auto. After my SUV engine blew out on a rural highway one weekend morning, I had the good fortune of finding Gulf Coast online and speaking with Kim, who took care to help calm my nerves while arranging for her husband (with whom she owns and manages the shop) to come and have a look at my situation. He arrived within 20-30mins and, after diagnosing the issue, arranged for a local towing company to pick my car in less than 30min. Both he and Kim were (1) kind and patient with my lack of automotive knowhow, (2) helped me find a rental car nearby when it seemed most places were closed on a Saturday afternoon and (3) even offered me a ride to the facility. At that point, I still thought that I could get a taxi service to drive me 3+ hours back home. I guess they knew better, since they gave me their personal numbers and insisted I call if I had any trouble getting on my way. Even provided some cozy seating and a place to charge up my phone at the shop despite closing up for the afternoon. Their followup has been timely, conscientious, and everything else positive -- basically the opposite of what I've come to expect (and dread) from auto repair outfits. I'm happy to be able to recommend them with much enthusiasm and zero hesitation.

Very very great service! Had my Jeep in the shop at another place for a month and it was never fixed told me my distributor part would be $400+ Not including labor... came to this place which happened to be a neighbor & they finished in a week! My Jeep is running great! Will definitely be going here for our toys & other vehicles! My total was less than $400 too. Very pleased with their work! If you need any vehicle needs, stop looking!! definitely go here!

The team at Gulf Coast is AMAZING! We were en route to our RV campground in Arcadia when a front wheel bearing disintegrated. The admin team was very responsive and booked an appointment and got a sealed hub in a matter of hours. The repair team came the next morning at 0800 sharp as promised. While I'm pretty handy with such repairs, I was without the needed heavy tools - but I know what a quality repair looks like and Gulf Coast nailed it. I'm passing out business cards as we speak because I want my fellow campers to get this kind of service as well. And the price was much less than expected. And FYI - I'm a retired Marine Colonel - so I do not sugar coat anything! Kim, please again pass my regards to the team. Semper Fi, John A.Service: Steering & suspension repair

We had a very good experience with them, after our "06" car broke down we had it towed to another shop, they mis identified problem sent us on our way, bug it broke down again. So we went to Sun Coast, they fixed the car quickly identified the problem and sent us on our way, also found that our tires had worn through and made recommendation where to get new tires. They also replaced front brake pads. Highly recommend them, they are honest and fair. Work quickly too. Thanks for great experience.

Great place. The service is awesome, prices fair, and they fixed my truck with some quickness. Will definitely bring my vehicles here for more work when needed......Top notch service every time. For personal vehicles or even for my business machinery they come out quick and get the job done for a fair price everytime. 100 stars

Absolutely great people and the mechanics are very knowledgeable when it comes diesel. They diagnosed the problem very quickly and located the part. Had to wait on the part over the weekend but as soon as it came in they got right on it. If I ever have a problem with my motor home in central Florida again this is the place I want to be. As I was leaving a minor problem with transmission (unrelated) showed up. They diagnosed that very quickly as well. Could not be more pleased!

My SUV blew out all the coolant out and overheated on the side of the road on my way from Fort Pierce to Bradenton at 10:30 on a Saturday. I had to make a quick decision where to have AAA tow it. Being from out of town, I relied on the star rating of those before me and chose this place. Even though they were closed when my SUV arrived and all day Sunday, I'm very happy that I chose this place! Friendly folk, and very prompt! Done before noon, and I drove back to Bradenton, then back home to Fort Pierce. Ran great, no issues! Thank you!

Stopped in with a low tire and in just a matter of minutes David had me back on the road again. Acpuple of months later I was having issues with my battery staying charged. No one could figure it out, so I went back to Gulf Coast... In less than 5 minutes Bronson diagnosed the issue and and there was no charge. I was able to fix the problem myself without buying parts. Love those guys.Services: Tires, Battery

I came to see if they can hook a "backup" camera on my semi truck trailer and the mechanic has no brains to think of what I tell him. He tries to tell me to hook it to the lights on my tractor for a camera going on the end of my 53' trailer. He has such a hard time understanding that he starts yelling and screaming in my face. Because he is not able to think he starts to yell. What a horrible place and conversation I HAD. This guy has nothing to think with and then gets mad at me for asking him if he can do it. Stay away from here, I would not let him touch nothing of mine after my interaction with him.Update: After speaking with the manager she was friendly and understood exactly what I was talking about. Thank you, I hope Buddy doesn't talk to too many new customers though.

Unfortunately our service this time was incomplete because the car was required for travel before the AC was working. I have had all the work on my Miata done at Gulf Coast for the past several years.
