I am traveling and Nelson and his team was able to get us in quickly for some preventative maintenance. He was very professional, friendly and attentive. It s not easy to find someone when traveling. I highly recommend Space Coast Auto!

Larry, Nelson, and the crew at Space Coast Auto are top-notch professionals. We've been doing business with them for several years, starting with an engine replacement on my Nissan van, and they have always been honest, competent, and timely. Way to go, guys! Thanks for everything!

Space Coast Auto Center and their manager Nelson are awesome! My 2017 Santa Fe needed a new catalytic converter. They replaced it for a third of cost at the dealership. I highly recommend them for all your vehicle repairs!

Nelson and his team are a reputable and reliable team to work with. After using a single garage in Orlando for 20 years I am grateful to have found Space Coast Auto to do my work here in MI. They have serviced my two cars for 3 years and I have found them to be honest, fair priced and to stand behind their work. On more than one occasion they have helped me out of a quick issue and sent me on my way. Thanks for putting faith back in the auto service business.Services: Electrical repair, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto brake repair, Tire rotations, Wheel alignment, Auto tire replacement, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement

Nelson is great. My father has used this shop for years. my father, who was a master mechanic, recommended them for the great job they do. They took care of me the same. Great guys, great shop. Highly recommend. I won't go anywhere else, because if my dad says they are who I should go to.....that's the best. Thanks for the quick and reliable service again.

Nelson and the crew at Space Coast auto Center are great!! I called to get my oil changed and they got me in right away. I had specific questions about my oil/car/engine and they had an answer for them all. They are honest and trustworthy. I had and issue with my car a few months ago that was out of their scoop of work and they did not beat around the bush and told me where I should take it for that issue. Great people. Would totally recommend them!Service: Oil change

We have been taking our vehicles (Honda, Toyota, Lexus) here for over a decade and we are always really happy with the service we receive. Larry, Nelson, Rita and the whole team there are accommodating, friendly, and always try to address vehicle issues quickly and at an extremely reasonable price. They don't talk down to women (which is such a problem in this industry) and they have never done work for us that we do not need done. We get tips and tricks for things along the way, too. I recommend them to anyone looking for a new mechanic.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Tire rotations, Side view mirror repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Vehicle safety inspection, Battery, Oil change

Honest and reliable service! Being the daughter of a retired mechanic, it's difficult to trust our cars to any other person besides my Dad. However, Nelson and his team at Space Coast Auto Center provide honest and reliable service that can be trusted. Thank you!

Finally found a local repair shop that would look at my Volkswagen check engine issue. Nelson was honest, upfront on what was being done to my car, and was able to help me figure out why I was occasionally getting an engine misfire! Very happy with this shop and I ll continue to use them for all my VW needs!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repairServices: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Just got a new set of brake pads and rotors installed on my truck from here. They did a great job, the prices where fair and clear cut. The work was done in a timely manner and I'm satisfied in the quality provided.

I have been going to space coast auto for +17 years...numerous vehicles from a large family....willing to pay, and have paid, whatever they specified for maintenance and repairs. Always trusted. Last year the shop seemed to shift focus, provided some exceedingly bad advice about tires and rims to the tune of $4k which the newest manager shrugged off as not his problem.Now in a 3-4 week cycle of bring it in, (started with an oil change), fix it, and have a new unrelated problem after I bring it home, each successively more expensive to repair. At around $2k Im drawing the line and am going elsewhere. Bothered enough to take the time to offer this review and we will now use a national chain for repairs. I tried to talk to them about it and they treated me as if I were some stranger off the street with zero sense of concern, or urgency. I feel like I have been taken advantage of.Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Auto tire replacement, Oil change

I was recommended by a page for RVers I follow, guess who needed them we did the place is not the fanciest but they do the job well and efficiently!! Plus they are the nicest people and the kindest did not inflate the charges, they fixed a seal that went bad on our RV wheel of course we were on the road home when it happened they gave us a timeline and delivered exactly as they said they would. They are on Merritt Island right across from the moose club where we were parked!!. Thanks to the Space Coast Auto Center for showing there are still honest business owners!!!!

I had a bad water pump in my 05 Dodge Ram 1500. I received a good estimate and friendly service. Work was done in a clean, careful and expeditious manner. I'd definitely go back especially when it comes to a repair that I would rather not do myself!

Thanks to the recommendation of a good friend , we started taking our work trucks and personal vehicles to wendy and the crew! They have done an awesome job without padding the bill as we have had happen with so many other mechanics. They are quick and reasonable! I would not hesitate to tell others about them!

Was recommended here by my family, who has been getting work done here for years. I bring them my car and it's there for a week, they replaced the ECU and it didn't fix my problem. I go in to check on my car, and I get told they have no time to work on it on Friday, and they'd get to it next week. So I paid for what I had done, $90 for an hour of work over a weeks time, and I supplied the ECU from my own source. After paying and getting a friend to come help me tow my car, I get in and realize they hadn't put anything back to how it goes. Wires were pulled out from my dashboard, passenger side carpet was peeled back still, my hardtop was removed and scratched my trunk(which they didn't put all the way back on properly), and my trunk lip was ripped off. Overall very unhappy with service and work here, and will not be returning.

Had my radiator bow out on 528. I have seen this shop for years driving by. Had my 25 year old truck towed there and they replaced the radiator and hoses the same day and got me back on the road. Very professional and price was exactly what I expected to pay bases on past radiator repairs on the same truck (again 25 years old, it is on the 3rd radiator now). I felt that this was a great service and a great place to do business. The negative reviews I am reading are by persons that either didn't know what was wrong with their vehicle in the 1st place, or persons that had an unknown problem that comes up after a repair has been preformed. If you know anything about cars then you know a bigger problem can be seen once a smaller repair has been completed. The larger problem causes the smaller problem and that is on the car owner to maintain their car properly.

Space Coast Auto has always gave me the best service. Im far from a regular customer but always treated like my business matters to them.From the owner to the service manager and Tech's, they always have me leaving there with a smile & confidence that the job was done right....JParks

Okay, So I don t usually leave reviews but I m going to leave a good review for this place. The place itself is not new or beautiful but when you go into the shop you re pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and general organization for a car maintenance shop it is small and not very many people there but to say I am blown away as a understatement. I drop my car off they dropped me home notified me when it was ready south able to come get my car timely manner good pricesFriendly staff the receptionist was great to work with I believe it was the owner who was also impeccable I cannot say enough and I will most definitely use them again!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

They charged my younger brother $500 to pad slap his F150. Didn't even resurface the rotors. My advice is to steer clear of this place.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

Had a valve stem blow out getting off 528 and this place was the closest place to me for a repair! Everyone her was very good with presenting them selfs and the shop. As I arrived I explained my situation and they got on it within a minute or two. Didn't have to order anything or try to get me to do other work. Great place here and would return for more repairs as well as refer them to family and anyone else. Thanks for the great and time friendly service.

Took our RV in for repair. They had other projects going on, so we told them no hurry - just fit it in when you can. They assured us that once the repair was complete, we could use their lot to put the vehicle up for sale. Essentially, it's been over a year, and the vehicle is in the same condition that it was in when we took it there, yet we still were charged nearly $2,000. Yes, $2k! It STILL is not running, so we took it to another shop, where we were told that there was nothing wrong with the part that this shop said had a problem, and in addition, the heads on the engine are BENT! There was NOTHING wrong with the engine, and it had very low miles on it. So the question presents itself, as to how did THAT happen between the time we dropped it off and the time we moved it to another location, eh, Space Coast Auto? So, now we have to make additional repairs to fix what Space Coast Auto damaged! Please do yourself and your wallet a favor and go somewhere else. These people do NOT know what they are doing, and you can't trust what they'll do with your vehicle once it's in their possession.

I broke down off Courtenay Blvd. and made it to Space Coast Auto Center. I knew what the problem was, I needed a new alternator. I left the car there and received a call from Larry. He said to replace the alternator it would cost $637.00 and it also needed a new battery for anther $75.00 plus $90.00 to perform analysis. The total was over $700 dollars. Then he argued with me about the price for the alternator. I went back paid the $90.00 analysis fee and took my car to A-Auto on Hwy-520. Scott fixed it for $85 labor and $85 for the alternator. Also, I took my battery to Walmart and had it check, they said the battery was good. They wanted to charge me for a new battery. Stay away from this rip off place.

My AC went down over the weekend in mid August and I was able to get a repair done 3 hours after I called then on Monday AM, diagnosed very quickly and repaired quickly, waiting for the parts to get there that was the most time consuming. Great people here and great skills.Service: Air conditioningService: Air conditioning

I stopped by after looking at a camper in their parking lot to give a deposit. I asked an old guy with glasses that clearly worked there if he knew about it. He took me in the office and said we don't know anything about it a**hole. I was shocked. I used to bring my fleet of trucks here and an old porsche. He was so rude to me i never in my life have been treated like that especially in a place where i have spent thousands of dollars. Watch out for these people and go somewhere else. They are horrible.

Lucky me broke down right across the street from this garage. I walked in cold in the middle of the day with both back brakes locked up. They got right on my car and fixed it while we waited. I can't say enough about how nice the folks were and how much I appreciate them. Wish they were closer to me I would use them again.

Terrible customer service experience. Period. Owner was rude and disrespectful to me and when I didn't understand what he was explaining to me about my vehicle he shushed me up and spoke over me. Wendy, the manager, was just as rude. Find an auto repair shop that respects its customers and the statutes that regulate such establishments.
