If I could give a 10000 star I would. I got myself into a bad situation and ended up here. I m always fearful of places trying to just make a quick buck or flat out over charge and being dishonest. Don helped out tremendously and even went as far as letting me know fixing it just wasn t worth it.He fought for us when another lied and said they would fix it.So I m sorry for those other reviews that said bad things. I had a good outcome here and I hope you allow this location a chance. Thank you Don for being a good person and helping me through this hard time in your own way.

While they couldn't help me with the specific repair I was seeking, John provided me with other alternatives I could pursue which ultimately did lead me to finding a solution.

Air conditioner in our car wasn t working, we called for service and they got us right in. They diagnosed it and fixed it it was very reasonable. When my husband picked up the car he had a question and the owner came out and explained everything he did. I highly recommend this place.Service: Air conditioningService: Air conditioning

The team Went to work right away and diagnosed my h v a c system to determine why it was no longer blowing cold air.Sadly, I had brought it to another mechanic who replaced several components that failed, causing other issues to occur.After explaining me what was happening, John came out. Gave me a detailed breakdown of what was taking place, and in turn gave me a detailed estimate of all that needed to be done in order to resolve the issue.Now my wife and I just have to consider the cost value versus the car value to see if it makes sense at this point.These guys are great, and they're very honest and upfront. And also honest on their opinion. Whether something is really worth fixing at this point.

I highly recommend Don and his team at Auto Air & Electric of Lee County. I came back to our winter place at the end of October 2021 after being away for 19 months because of COVID. Our SUV air conditioning was not working so I took it to a shop close to our place. They told me most of the refrigerant had leaked out. They said they dye-tested the system and the vehicle definitely had a leak in the evaporator as they could see dye coming from the evaporator drain tube and their sniffer could detect it in the air blowing from the vents. They quoted me $3,700 dollars to repair it.I wanted to get another opinion so I researched on the internet was impressed by the number of positive customer reviews for Auto Air & Electric so I made an appointment. Don s team evaluated my vehicle and they did not detect a leak anywhere in the a/c system. Don said the time the car had sat without being driven might have led to the refrigerant leaking out but he did not want to repair anything until he knew exactly what needed repairing. He said the best thing to do would be to refill the refrigerant and add dye. This way if there was a leak now or at any time in the future it would clearly be visible and they would know where to repair it. Total price $229.I waited a week to write this review as I wanted to see what would happen. I am pleased to say that we have driven the vehicle every day, the air is still cold and I cannot see any dye on any of the air conditioner hoses, fittings, the compressor, or leaking from the evaporator drain tube.I was so impressed by Don s honesty. I can see why they have so many positive reviews and I am pleased to add mine. When my vehicle next needs servicing for the a/c or anything else I will be driving the 30 minutes to Don s shop as I truly appreciate dealing with a business I can trust.Service: Air conditioning

I ve been taking my cars to Auto Air for service and repairs for years. They get things right the first time around, quickly, and at very fair price. Donny, the owner always calls before starting repairs to give me the best options. Whether it s better to use new parts, fixing old ones, or modifying the old to better than factory, I ve always come out ahead. Before I found Auto Air, it was very frustrating to pick up my vehicle, pay the dealer and later find out it wasn t fixed right. Then I had to go back, waste another day knowing it should have been caught on final check out. That just does not happen at Auto Air. Maybe because I ve heard Donny reminds his mechanics regularly to do a final check making sure everything s working perfectly before it s ready to pick up. My last visit was to replace head light covers on my 2009 RAV 4 that looked like amber tinted lenses instead of clear after years of discoloration. Wow what a difference at night! Job done perfectly. Bottom line: 5+ stars, done right the first time, fast, and at a fair price. You just won t get a better value for your money. Highly recommend them!Services: Auto body & trim repair, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Both the mechanic and the service clerk (they could be the owners... I didn't ask) were excellent. Anyway, I came to them after a real cluster at Galloway Ford. Auto Air & Electric treated me as a human with respect and explained issues in understandable detail. The work done was timely and priced fairly. I will be going back when needed.

The guys here were excellent with communication. They answered all of my questions and called Everytime there was something that came up and even just to give me an update on time. They weren't able to get a part the same day and even helped with getting a rental car approved through my warranty. This was my first visit but if I need additional services I will definitely come back.

I can not say enough good things about my experience here. After having an issue with my Infiniti, I took it to the dealership. After paying 220.00 to have it looked at they quoted me 1600.00 to fix it. I called Auto Air and took it in ant they confirmed what I needed but it would only cost $600.00. Infiniti wanted to "match" the price and fix it. Thanks but no thanks~ Don (owner) called me personally after looking at my car and explained in detail what needed to be done and why. He also told me the other things he was going to do that would be included in the estimate. He promised to have my car ready by the end of day and they delivered! My AC is so cold that I have to actually turn it up. Imagine that for Florida. Thank you for honest professional work. I would highly recommend them for all AC and electrical needs on ALL makes and models, even the new ones!

Brought my 2011 Jaguar xjl there and they exceeded my expectations on every level. To say Rob is knowledgeable is an understatement. The pricing for the level of service and expertise was beyond fair. Even if I moved to California I would drive my car to Auto air and electric in Ft.Myers because it would be worth it. Highly recommended.

It took me over 10 years to find an honest and knowledgeable auto repair shop. Don Weiss is over 15 miles from my home but worth the trip every time. I had a leaky rack and pinion on a 04 Toyota convertible. It was over $900. Don thought replacing it would serve me best but he said I could try a "stop leak" additive for $25 and see what happens. It's been over 3 years and still no leak. I have total trust in Don and his shop.

We called this morning about my cars major electrical issues, they told us upfront they couldn t do what we needed but the woman who answered the phone was very kind and referred us to another local shop without us even asking. When you get honesty and helpfulness in the first phone call you know it s a well run business. Hopefully we won t need them anytime soon but we will use them in the future.

I had an electrical issue with my car that my mechanic couldn't fix. It was recommended that I try auto air and electric. I was greeted by Rob who was confident they could fix my car. I'm glad I came here. The car is just fine. I would definitely recommend this place!!

Figured out my electrical mystery car in the first day. Ended up taking my car back for unrelated issues after another mechanic was stumped and wanted me to pour money into it. Once again they figured out the issue in the first day and I got her fixed for a good price. Never going anywhere else ever again. Thank you!

2002 - 2007 GMC Sierra or Chevy equivalent air conditioning.Going to try and keep it short and save you thousands of dollars!SYMPTOM: You get a dead battery/new battery installed and now AC vents blow all wrong .. Blows heat out the front and cold out the defrost and just all mixed up. Call Auto Electric and Air Of Lee County Florida and explain the problem and get taken in FAST with a quick explanation that your AC actuators are messed up and worn out, after all it's 12 years old... need to tear dash apart and replace the bad actuators ... AND while we are at it replace the good ones that might go bad.$1385.00 later ...Here's the problem, Auto Electric and Air Of Lee County Florida has to know that they only had to reset the HVAC system and all would go back to normal. It's a 5 minute procedure and they likely pretended to tear the truck apart and replace all 5 actuators.AND, if they didn't know, shame on them, it's their business to know!Here's the fix .. works 100% of the time ... don't get ripped off!Just do this:There is NO relay in your 02-07 GMC or Silverado that controls where the air is blown out at. Your A/C system is controlled by a HVAC module. You have actuators in the HVAC housing that controls temperature and where the air is blown out at. When the battery was replace the HVAC module lost its memory. Simply open the hood and locate the fuse box. Should be on the driver side on the engine compartment. It will have a black cover on it. Remove the cover under the cover will list all the fuses. Find the one that says HVAC/ECAS.Turn your truck off and put the blower motor switch on 0 (blower motor off), temperature on cold, and the position on your face. Remove the fuse and wait for one minute. After 1 min. reinstall fuse and turn the key to the run position but do not start the truck. So basically the second click on the ignition. Once you do this you should hear the doors the HVAC module moving. Wait at least 3 min. After that time, turn the key off then start the engine. Everything should go back to normal
