My car was towed to Top Auto Service for radiation repair and valve trottle flap replacement. The owner was very knowledgeable and explanation things well. The repair time was quicker than expected and it took only couple days to complete the job. The service was excellent. Highly recommended Top Auto Service.Services: Transmission, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioningServices: Transmission, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioning

This place is a great shop and I highly recommend. I was on vacation and my engine light came one. I called 5 shops in Destin and nobody would take it in within a week. I called Tops and Evo went out of his way to help me out. The guy had a full shop of cars, but found a way to sneak me in given my predicament. I was stranded and he knew that and could have take advantage and really gouged me. Instead, he called me before putting on a part because it was $20 more than he anticipated! Talk about a class act! At the end of the day, he made the repair and only charged me $85 for his time. He even told me about a few things he noticed, but said that they weren t urgent and to just have my local mechanic look at them sometime after I get home. I wish there were more mechanics like him around and I cannot recommend Tops Auto enough!!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Mr Evo is the man. Super knowledgeable, kind and professional and he really knows his stuff when it comes to performance vehicles. He is installing upgraded turbos, intercooler and downpipe on my Mercedes c450 AMG. I don't trust anyone else to work on it and Evo knows his stuff when it comes to performance car makes. Super highly recommended. Evo is the best, most honest and knowledgeable performance mechanic around. You can trust his work and that he will be up front with you always

Great service, very fast, and cheapest price in the area. I was surprised that so many locals knew and trusted Top Auto before even mentioning mainstream dealerships. The owner is remarkably knowledgeable, and military friendly. Absolutely recommend to anyone! Easy 5 star rating.

I'm not from the Destin area and was looking at purchasing a car there. Not wanting to buy a car completely sight unseen, I needed a shop to do a pre-purchase inspection. After talking to a few friends in the area and looking at local shop reviews, I chose Top Auto Service and wasn't dissapointed.They were able to get the car in on short notice and gave me a no BS assessment of the cars condition. Special thanks to Evo, who took time out of his busy day to go over his findings with me over the phone. He was extremely informative and helpful with my decision on whether or not to purchase the vehicle. Thanks again!

Absolute scammer, charge for things he didn't replace, recommend unnecessary repairs, all insurance companies refuse to pay or work with him because he tries to overcharge them.He is Bulgarian and no Bulgarians repair their cars with him, he even stole parts from a car that was left for a repair. He is a sweet talker, only people that like to be grossly overcharged and have no clue or careless like to work with him!

Evo, the shop owner, took extremely great care of my 2008 BMW. He capitalized on timing when prices were shifting at the local FWB BMW dealership's parts (I double checked them myself) and Evo wasn't being conniving or crafty. I love honestly and not being deceived. He didn't take long at all on my car and even took off cost of labor. I will use him for all my vehicles.Services: Transmission, Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery

This is the most efficient and honest mechanic I have ever entrusted with my vehicle. After this visit I won't be trusting my vehicle with anyone else. I've lived in eight states, this is the best Auto shop hands down. Prompt, talented, and very professional.

Top auto by far has been THE best mechanic to date I have ever been too. I have had a total of 5 different vehicles that I have brought to him over the years and he has always had answers to my vehicle problems. I have even called the shop at various times throughout the work week with various vehicle problems and has always had time to answer the phone, have me stop by, and look at my vehicle to tell me what is going on and how long it will take to fix. Will recommend anytime, any day of the week and twice on Sunday!!! Quality mechanics are hard to find.... this shop is a gold mine!!!

I have been coming to Top Auto service for years and they have never fallen short. I'm very grateful for my new addition Audi A6 '16 due to a seamless service working with Evo. Evo is very knowledgeable about each European automotive I have owned and is hands on, accommodating, and meticulous throughout the repairs. He took the car immediately being that I had only a weekend in Destin. Services of front brakes, rear brakes, fuel throttle body, and AC evaporator was completed in two days while keeping costs to a minimum. Top Auto Services is the only Auto Doctor I entrust and am proud to say I have been looked after very well. It's no wonder Clients range of 7 states wide. Keep growing, you excel doing what you love. Well done and massive thank you to Top Auto Services.Highly recommended!

This guy is awesome! Very knowledgeable. He makes sure you know the repair cost before any work is done and he doesn't try to rip you off. I have a 2005 Lexus and check engine light came on. He hooked up his computer and went over all of the faults with me to help me prioritize my repairs to work with my budget. His honesty and integrity are priceless! As long as I live in this area and he has a shop, I won't go anywhere else!

The AC on our Lincoln Navigator went out halfway from Louisville to Destin, and I was fortunate enough to find Evo at Top Auto Service. Within two days, I had a new AC compressor! Great service...Evo really knows his stuff. I wish he was in Louisville...he would service all of our personal and company vehicles!

The mechanic here was fast and did an excellent job fixing our brakes! His price was fair (we were on vacation so I called our regular mechanic back home in IL to be sure).He assessed the problem, showed us what we needed, and contacted someone for parts in less than 20 minutes. His estimate was accurate on the price and he told us 4 hours and got it done in less than 3 and a half. He also recommended Uber for getting around Destin while we waited, it was great and felt like we lost no vacation time!!Awesome mechanic and shop, highly recommend!

My truck broke down Saturday before Memorial Day. We found Top Auto Service and even though they closed two hours earlier, the mechanic checked my truck. He called and found the replacement part and had the truck fixed by 5:30. He could have told me that the shop closed at 12:00, but he went the extra mile so that my family and I were not stranded until Tuesday. We cannot express enough gratitude to Top Auto Service. This is a GREAT repair shop!!!

I recently purchased a Porsche Panamera. On my way down to Destin for vacation a few service lights came on. Top Auto came up in my search and had great reviews. I called him on Monday afternoon and took my car in Tuesday. The location is on a back road along with many other auto mechanics. DO NOT Let the location detour you. When I pulled in and saw the amount and quaility of cars he was servicing I immediately knew I made the right choice. He was extremely friendly and told me he would have it done shortly. His knowledge, customer service, and honestly were like nothing I had ever experienced. His prices are BEYOND fair. He even fixed a hose for free. I live 4 hours from his shop but WILL never let anyone else touch any of my cars. He has a client for life! I went back to the resort and told them to refer all imports to his shop. He is amazing and very honest.

Evo is absolutely the best mechanic we have ever experienced. He will diagnose any issues very quickly and then clearly explains exactly what the problem is. As a woman, I m used to feeling out of my league in a car shop and being talked down to - Evo NEVER makes me feel this way and I m always comfortable enough to ask questions and learn more about my car! Highly highly recommend

By son came down for the weekend and while in Destin his car overheated . I called to see if they could help me get it fixed and let me tell you this guy was great. He got a wrecker to pick up the car and then let me know everything that had to be fixed and what it would cost before he did anything . He was very fair on pricing, fixed the car fast and did a great job. You can't go wrong using this shop . THANK YOU

From out of town and a/c broke. Called him up and he had me being it in. Explained up front what he was going to do and how much it would cost depending on what was wrong. Worked on it for a few minutes and said I was low on freon. Added some die in case there was a leak, so that my mechanic at home could find and fix it. I wish this guy lived where I lived, he would be my new mechanic. Honest and hard working. Straight and up front with me. I respect that a lot.

Excellent service. Highly recommend. I was in a tough situation trying to get home on the last day of our vacation and no one else had time to help me. This guy found it in his heart to help me (even though he was super busy too) so I didn t have to drive 12 hours home with 3 kids and no A/C in late June heat! That would have been a nightmare. Cannot thank him enough for helping me when no one else would. He even helped me get a cab back to my condo while he was working on our car.

I originally took my 2009 Jetta to the Volks Wagon service dealer in Fort Walton. After three days of having my car they called to say I would need a new engine and quoted me $8,500. I began to panic. I decided to get a second opinion just to be sure. After reading the reviews for this shop I took my car in. As soon as we pulled in Evo checked a couple of things and said he was certain I didnt need a new engine. He had my car for one day and called to say I had a bad injector and needed some new coils and a few other minor things such as spark plugs, battery, oil filter, etc. After everything was done I spent less than a grand. This guy is honest, more than fair, and knows his stuff! I was ready to junk my car and get a new one! He saved me THOUSANDS! He has gained a customer for life.

My nephew had a piece of his bumper fixed and painted here. It wasn't perfect but looked good. They still need to buff out the imperfections. (Which they have offered to do.) Paint matched the original color of the rest of the bumper. I would get more work done here in the future and I would recommend them to anyone. They will work with you on the pricing and give you details on what needs to be done.

After getting an oil change at Taffys and being told my car needed over $1,700 in repairs I was desperate for a second opinion. After Googling places, I came across Top Auto Services. I called and made a same day appointment. Ivo took my car for a spin to test it out for himself. After about 45 minutes he came in and explained his findings. Told me what repairs were absolutely necessary or a safety hazard and told me the ones that we're urgent, especially if I wasn't going to keep the car long term. Taffys had made it seem like ever single repair they mentioned was absolutely imperative.I'm so happy I found Top Auto Services and don't plan on every taking my car anywhere else, not even for an oil change.

Evo quite literally saved my families vacation. Our brakes had a major problem, he worked with Dodge and got our van back in order. Very dependable, explained everything, I really can't say enough positive words about this man. You local people in Destin have a real treasure in Top Auto Service. Thank you Evo!

Called Evo at 8:00 at night. He met us at 7:30 at the shop. Worked for an hour fixing a mess of wiring. Got us on the road. Super polite. This was an unexpected surprise - an honest mechanic who is extraordinarily skilled. Highly recommend.

I went there last week with my Limousine and he figured out the problem in minutes. Left it there and voila... 3 hours later i had a new alternator and New battery.Price for labor and parts was really reasonable.That shop should be your first stop in Destin.

Well they got the name right with this shop cuz it is top of the auto services. I called the number before hours and the owner answered the phone and said he would meet me at the shop early and by lunchtime that day had my water pump and other parts replaced at the lowest price I could even imagine, knowing we were from out of town just made him want to fix the problem and get us back on the road and not charge alot so we would have money for vacation. Thanks Top Auto Services
