Not a lot of people are willing to work on high horsepower applications, but H3 has worked on multiple modified vehicles for me. Vehicle is done on time and pricing is always fair. Thanks guys!

Took my wife s BMW X-1 for repairs to them , before I found them no one else would touch it, so glad I found them, great mechanics, great job, and the best price you will find! Honest and reliable is hard to find at a mechanic shop and they are just that! all day and everyday!

I have been taking my vehicles to H3 for the past 15+ years. If you are looking for professionalism, honesty, and reliability then H3 automotive is the best place to go for you car's mechanical needs. This is a family business and they treat their customers like family. If you need regular maintenance for your vehicle or if you have major mechanical problems, they can handle it. Nobody likes to have car problems and they seem to happen at the worst time but H3 has always treated me, friends, and family with respect and have always been honest. Major repairs are costly but they will be honest about what needs to be fix immediately vs things that can wait a little longer and I have always appreciated that. They keep you up to date with any changes, whether it be by phone or text message; they are willing to help and that is all anybody wants. When you get your vehicle back, you can be sure that all the issues that were discussed have been corrected.-Professionalism-Integrity-Honesty-WelcomingI would recommend H3 automotives to anybody that needs any car services. Their work speaks volumes of their passion to vehicles. Thank you guys for always being great at what you do.From the Soto Family.

There is a reason why you have to wait for an appointment!! The are just that good. It is worth the wait. I had several things fixed on my car and am waiting for a piece to come in for them to finish my repairs. Thanks H3.

Regrettably I had a short between my truck and travel trailer and by the time I saw the smoke severe damage had been done to the wiring on my truck. The GM estimate for repairs was over $2500. H3 did the flawless repair in one day for about 1/3 that amount Honest and nice folks! The only issue was that it took three weeks to get the repair done because they are so busyService: Electrical

Always helpful and always honest! We have found after moving here and getting estimates this place is more honest than most. We got an estimate for around 2100$ on a repair and we took it here because we trusted them. There was no repair needed. Gave us peace of mind and saved us money.

H 3 Automotive was the best experience I have ever had with an auto repair vendor. They were amazing ! The problem with my car was quickly diagnosed and repaired at a fair price. What struck me the most was their honesty and concern to provide excellent customer service. I will use them exclusively in the future and recommend them to my friends.

I dropped off my wife s car on Monday afternoon a few minutes after their closing time. They took my contact info, and I asked them to check out why the a/c never gets cool. They called me THE NEXT DAY @ 10:3am, that the work was finished, and they even added some dye to the refrigerant to help diagnose if there was a small leak. The a/c was nice and cold on the ride home and I could not be more pleased with the expert and polite service I received!!If my patients need automotive service, I will be happy to recommend H3 Automotive and Performance.Lawrence Hasara MDService: Air conditioning

Tried to schedule a time to have work done on my classic car. Was told to stop back in in a few weeks because they are too busy to even give me a timeframe. Stopped back in and was told to try back in a month or so. Still wouldn t give me a time or put my car on the schedule. They may be good at what they work on, but they have no ability to plan out any new business. I ll find a different shop.

I have been taking my vehicles here for years. They are always honest and tell you what you need. They let you decide if you want a service done before they do it. No surprises, good people.

I relocated back to Bradenton recently for work and needed a new car guy.When I was driving to work a few days ago, my battery light stayed on during my commute and I noticed a weird whining coming from the engine bay. I quickly Googled auto mechanics near me and a colleague at work mentioned these guys since they are close to my work. Despite bringing my car to them on super short notice Tuesday morning at 7:30 AM after a holiday weekend, they got my car diagnosed the same day and back to me early the following day.The price was fair for an alternator (parts and labor), you can't really cut corners on car repairs and these guys definitely perform quality work. I'll be back whenever my car is acting up and I need to subsidize my mechanics mortgage. Eric and crew were awesome.Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto maintenance

Best auto shop in town. We drive extra to get here. The family that owns it is fantastic. They are always honest and fair, with realistic prices. They do excellent work, consistently. We recommend them to all of our family and friends and have been taking our vehicles there for at least 16 years.

Great fast service. Just moved here from Ohio and my sons car decided to have issues. Not knowing anyone I googled local businesses. I called and Eric quickly answered my concerns and scheduled my car in the next morning as it was closing time when I called. The repairs were completed in an hour and the service was great. After having the same mechanic in Ohio for 15 yrs I was reluctant in the change but I have found a new business to take care of my vehicle needs. Thanks for the quick service

Incredibly friendly staff, I had been running into an issue that no one seemed to be able to isolate except for the team here. They did not have what was needed to get things in order (totally expected, specialized equipment is expensive) but they gave me everything I would need to know and pointed me in the right direction well beyond what was expected!Not just great at the job, but phenomenal people within the crew here. Absolutely worth checking in to for anything you might need.

I honestly wish I could rate this place without even giving it one star! I dropped my car off to get a quote about getting the exterior door handles replaced and left the car with them for a few days. One of the managers or whatever title they have said that the car would be safe there and that they have video cameras watching the lot. When I went back to pickup my vehicle my car had gotten vandalized right in there lot! First one if the managers was trying to tell me that the car was like that when I brought it there then realized this wasn't true due to one of the mechanics coming to my aid and saying it wasn't vandalized when I brought it. One of the exterior door handles had gotten ripped clean off! When I asked about the video from there cameras they said, yeah, we'll look into it. I'm still waiting to hear back from them weeks later! When I asked about them helping me reconcile this situation the owner said, yeah, I'll help you, bring your car back and I'll hook up a wire clothes hanger so you can open the door! These people are so unprofessional and disrespectful that it's a shame. They're supposedly a "family business" too. Some family qualities!

These folks have been taking care of my 66 Corvette for a few years now and I have nothing but good things to say about them! Family owned and operated. I ve dealt primarily with Jerry and he has had a lot of experience with these old cars and that s what I was looking for! He is always willing to talk about little issues and capable of taking care of the bigger ones when necessary. I truly appreciate that! I don t think you can do better than H3 Automotive

We brought our son's 2000 Jeep Cherokee in for a coolant problem; the radiator had cracked and coolant went gushing across our garage. They replaced the radiator, pressure checked the system and refilled with coolant for a very reasonable price. The cost for the radiator was no different than what I would have paid for it online or at an auto parts store.We had to bring it back for an additional coolant problem - slight overheating at standstill. They replaced the relay for the auxiliary fan for all of $11. I've never left a repair shop having paid cash for anything.They are extremely helpful and willing to work within your budget. We have found a local garage for all our auto needs when outside of warranty work. I am extremely happy I took a chance on them and would heartily recommend them to anyone.

There were a few repair shops that I found on Yelp that repair German cars like my Audi A8L, and Audi Sarasota was also available. However we were put off by the possible cost of OEM parts to fix the air suspension system and I wanted to drive it as little as possible to avoid further trouble. Also, we had a road trip planned the following week so time was a concern. H3 was the closest one to me so I took it there on a Thursday morning. They had a full workload that day. Eric called me back that afternoon and described what was needed and the cost. He said they could get it done by the next day, and they did. When we went to get the car he and his team showed us the old parts and explained patiently what went wrong. They had seen this happen many times on other German makes so I felt they were knowledgeable about German cars. We feel they are a great choice for any repairs and service our car might need in the future and I would have no problem recommending them.

AMAZING Shop. They have worked on my car a few times. Normally a shop will change out part after part, but each time I brought them the car they took the time to troubleshoot and identify the actual problem. Would 100% recommend for any Auto work, and very fair pricing.
