Jake's Automotive is always my auto repair shop of choice. Recently I thought my car's battery was dead only to find out it was the alternator as well as the battery. The car needed to be towed in which they kept me informed when it arrived safe and sound, they promptly gave me a diagnosis as well as an estimate of cost which I found to be very fair and reasonable and promised to have it ready the next day. As promised, it was ready the next day. All the personnel at Jakes are very professional and friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend this place of business.

Jake's automotive has been my automobile mechanic for over 10 years. I call them up. they fit me in,and they call me before any of the work is started to let me know what it will cost. I would recommend this automobile shop to anyone with any automobile issues. Very reliable from start to finish. Always calling during the repair to let me know how things are going. I will continue to use them for all my automobile mechanical issues. Great staff and great service. Two thumbs up to Leah and Matt

Took my 370Z to Jake's based upon recommendations. First time taking this vehicle anywhere other than the dealer. The result was exceptional diagnostics & fix in one day at a better price than the dealer. Thanks Roger and team.

Hands down the best, nicest, most honest repair shop that I've ever been to. I do most of my own work on my vehicles, but every now and then I need to take them for repair or maintenance to a shop. I wish that I had found Jake's a long time ago. It would have saved me some aggravation elsewhere. This is the only place I'm going from now on, and I've recommended it to my buddies.

I did my 40000 mile check up for my Audi Q7. Unlike a dealer, that charges an overly priced predetermined for such service then do extensive add ons, Jake s only charges you for what they do and they seek your permission before doing any add ons.Moreover, the prices they charge for their services are very reasonable. They had very friendly customer service and were Quick in their work. There was nothing major that was done to my vehicle, but if something big happens I would not Hesitate to take to Jake s.For those in the Bradenton Manatee county area I recommend this place For your auto service needs.

I was in a tough situation with much needed car repairs just before Christmas. Roger and his team immediately started to explore the issue just after my car arrived by tow. They closed at noon that day and reopened yesterday. I was a bit surprised to learn my car was ready for pick up after they worked on it about 2 half days. Very pleased with the expedious time done for the repairs and grateful that my bill didn t break the bank. I would highly recommend Jake s Auto in downtown Bradenton for your repairs. KUDOS for a job well done!

I get this business five stars for several reasons. The people there are very professional and care about the needs of your vehicles. Very short wait time to get your vehicle in and very fast to get your vehicle back. And in my line of work it's imperative that my vehicle is to run good and when I do need to get them worked on I need to get them back ASAP. And this is what they have done for me every time. Shout out to Matt, Leah and Steve.

Trust them 100%. I had my car towed to their garage because it died. Turned out to be something very minor, essentially as if I ran out of gas. They went above and beyond to diagnose the problem and then rode with me around the block in case it stalled again. In the end it worked fine. They didn't even charge me for the time spent on it! Definitely recommend Jake's!

Jake's is the ONLY mechanic I trust! I've been a customer of theirs for over 10 years. They have never lied to me or ripped me off. They are proactive and let me know when I need to start thinking about replacing something. They are friendly and trustworthy, so even when I moved out of Bradenton, to Riverview three years ago, I still bring my car back to Jake's. I can't imagine trying to find another mechanic. Leah and Matt are fantastic and work so well together, for the benefit of their customers! I can't recommend Jake's enough!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!!

Service manager did a really good job of making sure my car, as well as myself, we re taken care of. Set a specific time of when my vehicle would be ready and made sure that it was taken care of doing that prescribed time. Kudos to them.

My family have been trusting Jake s with our cars for generations, dating back to my grandfather. They have been trustworthy, reasonable in pricing, and I ve always double checked with them when another shop (Tire Kingdom, Car Dealerships, etc) makes repair recommendations. Jake s has saved me from paying for unnecessary work or more than one occasion or offered a reduced repair price. I d recommend you try them out.
