I had the best experience at REA. Super friendly, honest, and transparent with the price. I came in on a whim, I was dropping off my friend to pick up her car, and figured I d go in and ask for a quote on some work I needed done. Maddy the receptionist is so friendly and took all my info. Ryan is so nice he called me back and quoted me $900 less than EuroTech for 3 services! He seemed really knowledgeable about my engine and problems they usually have. My car is running better than it has in years, which is a big relief. I m so happy I found my new trusty car place, I ll be back next time something breaks. Highly recommend, thanks REA!

I can't thank Ryan and the boys over at REA Automotive enough. I brought my truck there to have both my engine and transmission tuned. They got it done right and some extra bits in a very short period of time. I'm very pleased with how my truck runs. Their customer service is awesome and being able to contact Ryan throughout the process was great. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to tune their vehicle and or have professional service/repairs done at very reasonable prices!Services: Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair

Today I picked up my car after a basic oil change and service. Ryan has kept my cars running in top shape for well over two decades.

I have been taking my Hummer H2 and my daughter's BMW 318i to Ryan at R.E.A. Automotive for years now, and I cannot say enough good things about both Ryan and his business R.E.A. Automotive. Ryan has every possible ASE Auto Mechanic Certification (there are currently 8 of them!) and it is evident from his vast knowledge of every potential problem or issue that may arise - and the best solution to every issue, especially as the vehicles get older. I found Ryan and R.E.A. years ago when some stereo work was done on my Hummer, accidentally resulting in the frying of my body control module. Unfortunately, since the manufacturer stopped making the Hummer H2 many years ago, it was impossible to find a new body control module anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. Although the stereo shop found a used module and replaced the destroyed module with the used one, the module they installed was useless in my Hummer because of years of performance work I had done, including installation of a supercharger and other performance enhancements. Without a properly functioning body control module, my Hummer essentially became a 6400 pound paper weight! After extensive searching for a solution or someone who knew what to do, Ryan and R.E.A. Automotive came to the rescue. Ryan knew how to reprogram the used body control module so that it was tuned properly for all of the performance enhancements on my Hummer, and I was back in business - to my great relief! Since that day, Ryan and his team have continued to take care of all of our vehicles with amazing skill, honesty, knowledge, fair pricing, and absolute professionalism. Finding a mechanic like Ryan is like finding a gold nugget in a dump-truck full of coal. I absolutely recommend Ryan and his entire team at R.E.A. Automotive without any reservations!

I was going through a different company that would never call me back, had no knowledge and turned a three week project into 3 months. I contacted Ryan and he was very knowledgeable, told me exactly what I needed to get done to finish my motor swap. I took it in for Ryan to tune. He called me later that day and said it was all done. I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Ryan was very knowledgeable, very responsive, and very affordable. Rae automotive is where I will continue to go, as well as who I will recommend to everyone.Service: Auto engine tuning

I have to say this is by far the best mechanic that I ve ever dealt with! Staff is professional and nice, and Ryan the owner really took care of me I have a Yukon that had an electrical problem amongst some other issues and I had taken this truck to 2 other shops one where it was there for almost 7 months and I have never been so frustrated and a friend recommended Ryan at REA Automotive and I was so impressed with how he quickly he diagnosed the problems then fixed them HANDS DOWN the best mechanic I ve ever used! A lot of shops advertise specialist but they are not! Ryan is a specialist and really did an amazing job! I will only go to him from here on! 5 STARS Highly recommend checking them out!!!!!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

R.E.A Automotive has been honest with me each and every time my vehicle has needed to be repaired. The work they do is phenomenal. If your looking for an honest and professional repair shop then give R.E.A Automotive a call.

Ryan is very good at what he does, extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to make certain his customers are satisfied. I ve gone to REA for a few years for routine maintenance and service as well as a few problems my cars have presented to me. Whether big or small, Ryan can fix anything on time at a very reasonable price.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

I took my vehicle in for two problems, I had to wait for about 3 weeks for an appointment. I got my vehicle back and Ryan said that he didn't have enough time to continue working on my vehicle's issue and had to reschedule a second appointment about another month away. When he returned my vehicle, Ryan said he couldn't fix the problem and referred my to another mechanic. My vehicle still has the same problems that it had before. He changed me over $ 1100 for nothing. The only thing that Ryan was right about was to take it to another mechanic because he couldn't fix the problems. He only does partial work. Who wants to pay and get the vehicle with the same problems? My experience was very frustrating to say the least.

Ryan is the absolute BEST mechanic I have ever had work on my cars numerous times. He will diagnose, fix, and charge a very reasonable price. He is honest ,professional, and you know when the work is done it is done right the first time. Ryan does a wonderful job explaining what is wrong and the work is completed in a very reasonable amount of time. Ryan is a high class young man that will treat you fairly, honestly, and you will be totaly satisfied with his quality work. It will only take you one time to have him fix a problem and he will be the only mechanic you will ever trust to work on you vehicles!!!

Ryan is one of the best mechanics I have had! I can honestly say that he is the most honest and helpful person that has worked on my car yet. I had been going to another mechanic that had me put in over $2000 going to them every month for four months when Ryan found the root of the problem, fixed it and haven't seen him since for an engine problem. The other time I had a nail in my car and went to the closest tire place near me and they told me I had to wait 2 hours till they could get to me so I called Ryan up and told him about my predicament and he told me he could fix it in ten minutes. He is a really great guy and if you are looking for a regular mechanic for your car, he is the person to go too.

Ryan was so HONEST and up front. He made my nightmare situation turn into a no worries day where I felt safe to take my 2007 GMC on the road trip I had planned. Such a pleasure to do business with. BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE! Very reasonable and friendly. So glad I didn t take it to the dealer. REA Auto got me back on the road the same day and at a Very fair price but above all honest. I have already referred several others to his shop and will not take my truck anywhere else in Florida now. Can t thank him enough. Will definitely go back ! Great work and thank you again :) Thanks, MelanieServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning

This team provides great service! Indigo helped me put wipers on my car, and made an appointment for me to have Ryan diagnose my 4 runner s challenge. Symptoms seemed like fuel line/filter/pump, yet how good it felt, to have Ryan explain it all to me!And, he was able to get the part and have it ready in just hours! Such a quick turn around! I m really grateful!

Just had some minor maintence done on our car, couldn't be happier with the experience. Ryan is professional, courteous and trustworthy. Having come down from New England and needing to find a reliable mechanic, he is by far someone I will continue to use and recommend. We found REA on Angie's List with wonderful reviews and we agree!!

I walked in with an unknown transmission problem as I was heading home about 4 hours away. Another automotive repair place had started quoting me prices in the hundreds and stated it may take up to 2 days to fix it. This all before even looking at my car. Ryan at REA took my car, diagnosed it, fixed it and had me on my way in an hour for just over $100. This is unheard of anymore! What a talented and honest mechanic. The rest of his staff were extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable while I waited. I highly recommend REA Auto for your vehicle needs.

I've used Ryan for several years now on both my and my wife's car. Ryan is extremely dependable, hard working, fast, and honest. He is very clear in what needs to be fixed and his prices are very fair. Ryan is extremely honest which is very refreshing and I won't hesitate to use him in the future whenever I have car issues. Thanks Ryan!

I have 1990 Mazda Miata that has had parts lying around for sometime. I finally got around to saving up for the installation and I got on the phone with multiple Auto Shops throughout the area. All of them didn't want my business because I didn't buy parts through their shop. There wasn't a warranty for the parts I needed installed so they were quick to shoo me away. Ryan was the only guy that was up to the task and better yet of all the shops I've been to he had the best rates, and was the fastest one when it came to how quick the work was done. I strongly recommend R.E.A. Automotive to anyone looking for an honest, affordable and timely service.

Ryan is a trustworthy and dependable mechanic. He's been working on our cars for years and he's our go-to-person. Doesn't try to turn every problem our car is experiencing into a major ordeal - sometimes he troubleshoots and fixes within minutes of arriving at his shop. Highly recommend.
