Had to get the window regulator and additional parts fixed. They called me back and kept me updated throughout the day. I appreciated the good communication. Toward the end of the day I was informed it was going to be at least $800 to fix. I went to another repair shop for an estimate immediately after picking up my vehicle. They quoted me a max of $600. I would not recommend going here as your first choice. Definitely get additional quotes before choosing to come here.

Great shop, no B.S. comparable pricing. Be patient tho it's a big shop with 2 people doing it all!! Awesome work done for me there, . Also if you like operating a zero turn mower, the guy may let you mow his property with his!!! Just sit on it, trust me! Lol

Eric at Steve's Auto Repair has always treated us fairly and professionally. He is not afraid to handle complex repairs on foreign cars and his prices have always been fair. Highly recommended.

Mar car literally sat here for about 6 months, waiting on a tire and wheel. Eric told me to call LKQ myself if I didn't believe him that he couldn't get the parts. So, I did..... And they had everything needed. Took car back, it took tire kingdom literally a few hours to do what Steve's couldn't do in half a year. I'm very patient, and they did good work for me in the past.... But this time around, I got literally zero communication unless I called. Felt like he literally could care less. Might go back in the future, might not.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Battery, Oil change

This business has been around for generations. I cannot express enough gratitude to truly say how wonderful and professional Eric and his crew are. In my book, they deserve 10 stars. Thank you all for all of the hard work you have done for myself, my family, and the community throughout the years!

Car has been there for nearly a year, parts have been installed and in place for several weeks now, but for whatever reason the simple tests and checkovers that need to be done are taking forever. When I call for updates, I get either empty promises or just flat-out ignored, and it's pretty evident that not much communication goes on between their crew.My patience well with them has officially bottomed out. Whenever I get my car back, I am never coming back to this place. Even with all other factors to consider, they've had MORE than enough time. Why my friend recommended them to me, I will never know. This will remind me not to choose proximity over what I already know to be quality.Service: Auto maintenance

Eric always goes the extra mile to explain the issues your vehicle is having. He has worked on both of my high mileage Toyota s and I have always been very satisfied with the repair work. He was recommended to me by one my local friends and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have their vehicle serviced or repaired.Eric went through a car I wanted to buy, found the issues with it so I was able to negotiate the price down.Eric s price on repairs seem fair for the quality of the work you get from his repair shop.

Fair prices. Experienced mechanics.Eric is awesome. Lets me know other issue's that need to be addressed. Really tough to find a reliable and trustworthy shop especially when you move to Florida. This is the one. You can take that to the bank. Tiger

I've been taking my car to Steve's for over 3 years and I haven't a single complaint. I've had everything from an oil change to rebuilding the front end. They are solid honest professionals, I've never been charged a cent more than the quote. Highly recommended Steve's.

Getting my oil changed elsewhere, in town, my vehicle started to not turn over, and it wasn't the starter or other associated causes. Subsequently, the vehicle right before another oil change was needed seemed better, yet occasionally having a problem. Returning to"said" oil expert again, I immediately had not only the starter getting stuck, but all my transmission fluid came out while driving. A friend stated to take it to Steve's garage. It wasn't the starter. After replacing the fuel pump, the issue continued. In their dilignce, after many free hours of their expertise, the fuel line was replaced, and after all the original gas was replaced, the vehicle was back to running perfect. The diagnostic run on this vehicle when initially received showed, no problem. They worked, many hours without cost to restore my vehicle to perfect working order. Only charged the replacement parts and standard hours. Honest, professional, mechanics that care about you getting from point A and B safely. Thanks doesn't cover my gratitude.Service: Oil change

Erik obtained the part to fix my truck within hours. Service was fast and efficient. The cost was fair considering what was done. Thanks guys.

Excellent service! I will be going back to them for any car maintenance I have! They charged half of what dealers charge and actually fixed the problem. They will also sit down with you and explain what is going on and what they are doing to fix it. I learned a lot just going in and asking questions. They are also really good at calling you with updates and they got everything fixed in a timely manner. They are honest and won't just fix something randomly just to charge you money. If something is in question, they will test it and let you know if it is still good or if it is bad instead of just changing it to get money when it might not need changed. Would 100% recommend them!!!Services: Exhaust, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Yesterday, I took my car to the Toyota dealership for a routine oil change. I was told that I needed to have a $636 dollar repair for an axle that was "slinging grease." Deciding to get a second opinion, I went to Steve's Auto Repair. After putting my car on the rack, Eric, the owner of Steve's, asked me to look at the area the Toyota mechanic had claimed needed repair.Guess what? It didn't. Eric could have charged me a little bit less for a fictitious issue, and I would have been happy to pay a reduced charge. Instead, he was honest, and I paid him nothing. In the future, I will take my car and my husband's truck to Steve's when either vehicle is in need of repair. It's nice to know that honest folks still exist.

SUPERB SERVICE! I cannot stress that enough! As a single mother of a young child, and with health issues when my check engine light came on, I panicked. I took my vehicle to a local auto store, to have the code read. I was told that it was a certain sensor in my engine, but being ignorant to anything mechanical, I was lost. Due to how my car was driving, I took it to the nearest auto repair shop by my home. I was happy to be greeted by a woman when I went in. They quickly tested the code, (only) and she told me what was wrong and gave me their opinion as to what was needed. The following day at my office, I was told by a coworker to have a second opinion by Steve's Auto Repair, in Inverness. She told me that this family owned business has always treated her with the utmost respect and she never felt that she was being taken advantage of, because of being a "woman ". I am so glad I took her advice. I called and spoke to Eric who calmed my fears (he could hear the panic in my voice I'm sure) and he took his time with me over the phone, asking several questions and he said bring "the patient" in and we'll go from there. I did as he suggested and I dropped my vehicle off so it could be "examined ". I was called later in the day and he told me what the code reader found, and the damage from a not so very nice "critter" that decided to possibly make my engine it's home, or, just eat the wires! Eric was so thorough in his explanation to me I felt at ease with this shop and how this work was going to be completed. I was so impressed! Eric not only took the time to educate me, but he also had respect for me. And that is HUGE in this world when it comes to being a naive woman in regards to car repairs. He sat down with me and helped me better understand what needs to be done. I was so very happy and pleased. My car was with them for a few days, was treated and released (my words!) and I was off and driving. My car (2005) was like brand new! I am SO ever Thankful to this local, family owned (2 generations! ) auto shop, I can't thank them enough. Eric is mechanically educated, trustworthy, respectful, and super nice and kind. I trust him 100% when it comes to my vehicle. You will too! Thank You Steve's Auto Repair!Kerri K.

With many loyal customers, I've never found a time when this place isn't incredibly busy, but I've never been told that they can't work me in when I have a problem. They're my first choice for top notch auto service at a fair price.

I live in Tennessee and our son was visiting a friend in Florida and his car quit on him , Eric at Steve 's auto repair had the car towed to him and begin working on the car , I have several friends who do auto repair in my area so I know who is very good , I could not have asked for a better place to take our son's car , Eric went above and beyond to take care of the car and our son !! It was so reassuring to have someone like Eric ( who i had never met ) keeping an eye out for us. Anyone who lives near this shop would make a wise decision to use them , they are awesome. This review is lengthy but they went to great lengths to help us and I am very grateful !!

After paying Eric over $700.00 to repair the auto from overheating ( after he had the car for a week ), we didn't get more than 3 miles from his shop when it started over-heating again. We had to wait till Monday to have him tow the car back to his shop.He didn't call us back for another week. He wanted to hit us up for another repair bill ( crankshaft sensor ) . This time we didn't allow any more service to the car until we knew if the ORIGINAL problem was really fixed this time. The first time , I let him talk us into an oil change and new brakes, thinking he had repaired the over-heating issue. That was not the case, however.He had the audacity to tell me he couldn't run diagnostics on the car because he had the battery out while doing repairs......but, he also claimed that he took in on several test drives before we picked it up. ( how did he do that without a battery ?)Now......he has had the car for more than 2 weeks, wants us to pick it up tomorrow because I got a little angry after he put my wife's life at risk in a car that didn't run after his EXPERT REPAIR WORK and over $700.00. He is a fast-talking con-man who shouldn't be allowed to operate in the state of Florida.....or anywhere for that matter !!!We had the same car in his shop twice before for a hesitation problem. Billed us both times and never did get it running well. We continued to have the hesitation and stalling.If you should take your car here for repairs, be sure you pick it up early in the morning, as you may spend the day trying to get it back home again !Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Air conditioning, Oil change

Eric is very honest and trustworthy. I am so extremely pleased I have found an excellent mechanic who I completely trust with my vehicles. Couldn't recommend anyone over him. He has a very well-trained and professional group here.

Eric and his guys did a great and quick job. Had an interstate battery that had gone bad took that in on the partial refund and got it quickly installed as well as I had a headlight that I thought was out but it simply had lost its connection so that got fixed also quick and for free and they will be our mechanic up here now.Service: BatteryService: Battery

Been to him 3 times for my vehicle and Eric has been amazing!! Phenomenal customer service and gets the job done and right! He is not there to stiff you I would say he is very honest and I am a female so woman like to cry that men mechanics stiff females, well not in this case at all. His prices are very comparable to other places. I could not afford to fix the main part so he helped me fix other parts so I can still be up and going. I could just go on about Steve s auto I am just so happy with the service all around best experience I have ever had with a mechanic and customer service ANYWHERE! Thank your eric and your staff!!

Worst place ever takes your money and don't fix anything they claim. Most times didn't get an invoice had to ask for it. Then when you confront them they act like they don't know what your talking about. Thought they were a good place and turns out they are not. Then you have some up there that goes to the other person and goes talking oh I don't know what she wants me to do about it. It's called fix your work. Will not recommend this shop to anyone at all especially if they have kids. Takes your money and don't bother to car if it's a family car.Service: General repairs & maintenance

We were new to the area and looking for a reliable mechanic we could count on, we tend to be hard on our vehicles. Preparing for a trip up north we brought our Ford Flex to Steve s for a tune up, alignment, and a pair of tires. This was definitely not a good choice. The service took several days, he didn t warn us of this at all, and kept our vehicle over the weekend. I called and called Friday afternoon to arrange a spot to put the keys, the service was paid for over the phone, but no answer. At all. I had to use a vacation day Monday just to pick up my car. When we got back (fromWI) my husband noted the back driver tire had already worn down, just on the outside (nice alignment, and tires), AND the panel under the steering wheel is missing, something I just noticed today while cleaning out the car, he just didn t put it back on!!! I m shocked and appalled at the lack of quality and service, and the price was FAR MORE than it should have been. Definitely take your vehicle elsewhere, this IS NOT the reliable garage we were hoping for.

I have been doing business with them for about 40 years. I completely rely on their judgement for the maintenance of my vehicle. My car is now at about 100,000 miles and predict many more. Thank you Eric!
