My household has used Beach Automotive on two separate occasions for two rather extensive repairs on two different vehicles. I have 0 complaints. While I am not a mechanic, I can Google parts and labor costs for repairs. I bring this up as Goigle cites a range of costs for repairs, and in both instances, Beach Automotive was on the low end of those cost bands. Beach automotive was timely with repairs, didn't pressure me to get unnecessary work done, and is up front about what is needed.If I could leave room for critique, it would be on the timeliness of getting a vehicle looked at which I attribute to their shop being good at their work and constantly in demand. The other critique would be on timeliness of call backs. They do return calls and follow up, but they don't always have a receptionist staffed, so I understand that as well.All in all, fine work, fair prices, honest mechanics. I have yet to get the feeling I'm being hoodwinked, trusting my vehicle with some snot-nosed kid that doesn't know what he's doing, or being overcharged for service. Additionally, their invoices do a pretty decent job breaking down the parts costs and labor costs. It's clear to read and makes sense.Thanks guys!

I was on an 8 hour road trip when my car starting making a loud sound. I stopped by Beach Automotive just 15 minutes before they closed and they were super friendly and helpful! It turns out my heat shield coming off, and they were quick to fix the issue and send me on my way, at no cost!! Thank you so much for your help!!

Very friendly staff. Was able to help diagnosis something different than what I thought it was and fairly charged for their service. Would definitely go back if I had another major auto issue.

I had the best car experience so far with Beach Automotive. I know it's common to feel a little nervous when working with a mechanic you don't know but Jody's a straight shooter and he also deals with you in a fair manner. His prices are way better than any chain repair shop. If you want to support local business and a veteran bring your vehicle here!

I appreciate Jodie, he's been great with me, friendly guy!He's replaced belts, a/c unit & completed an oil change. The first visit I couldn't afford all the work to be done, he understood stayed within my budget. When I went back a couple of months later he completed the rest of the repairs.Being a woman I have been placed where people talked to me like a woman wouldn't know if the job was a fair price but I have 3 sons who when doubt I check with them before the service is completed. Jodie tells me up front what the charges will be, he talks to me not at me!I'm definitely returning to Beach Automotive for my auto repairs.Services: Air conditioning, Oil change

Good and honest Mechanic gone badI ve been using this shop for years. I was warned this year that the owner Jodie had changed and was overcharging his customers. That is an understatement. I wasn t even given a quote. They held my truck for 3 weeks and then called to tell me it was ready to be picked up. They performed repairs that I didn t authorize. I clearly told the new girl that is no sweet Cassandra that I only needed a quote to fix 1 brake line that had snapped off. They decided to replace multiple brake lines without discussing it with me and tried to charge me 385.00. When I spoke Jodie and told him I didn t authorize these repairs, he told me that they would remove all of the brake lines and then I could pick up my truck. Instead of apologizing for THEIR error and trying to make it right, he told me he was going to RIP OUT ALL OF MY BRAKE LINES! The girl did call back to say Jodie would reduce the price to 200.00 with no warranty which I agree to just be done with this. When I went to pick up my truck and turn the key, it was flipped back in the battery on position. Obviously the battery was dead and appeared to be on purpose. My truck is being towed today to my Uncle s a retired mechanic to have my brake lines checked and make sure nothing was cut or loosened just to be vindictive. This is not the same man that I used to business with and refer EVERYONE to. What kind of person treats his customers like this? If you want to know, stop by Beach Automotive to meet Jodie and his team for a completely degrading Customer Service experience.Service: Brakes

My a/c condenser was leaking and needed replacing. They replaced it in just a few hours and it works great! I usually work on all my vehicles and I m usually hesitant to take my car to a shop, but I m out of my element when it comes to A/C. I would absolutely bring my car here again though! Everyone working there was great, friendly, and the price was fantastic! Beach Automotive saved me hundreds compared to other nearby shops! I highly highly recommend that if you want an honest mechanic, who will give you the best price and best quality of work that you give Beach Automotive a call!

To be honest, we didn't actually get the repair done. Mr Beach was frank and honest. He was actually the 2nd shop we brought our jeep to. He pointed out issues that the first one missed and his total estimate for all the repairs was still less than the other place. We decided to sell that jeep, but our other jeep will go only to Beach Automotive.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Brake service & repair

I have brought my truck to Beach Automotive twice now, and both times I was extremely satisfied with their work. The second time was when my brakes went out right before thanksgiving, they worked me in the Wednesday before thanksgiving and Jody stayed a couple hours late that night so that I was able to have my truck back to make it to Thanksgiving dinner the next day. Their prices have been very reasonable and I will continue to bring my vehicles back.

I've been taking my vehicles to Jody Beach for years. He's always impressed me with his honesty. He's never tried to sell me a more expensive repair than I needed. Very professional and gets things done right the first time. I won't take my cars anywhere else.

My old Subaru has had a few different problems with it, and Jody has always been able to get me back on the road for a fair price. I strongly suggest going to Beach Automotive. Jody and his team are all great mechanics and business people. Good mechanics are tough to find, but I completely trust this place.

They do great work! Reasonably priced, and very down to earth. They do work on our work trucks and all of our personal vehicles. We switched to them in hopes to get away from our previous, very unreliable and expensive, mechanic. Beaches has not disappointed. I would highly recommend them for good reliable service.

Mr. Beach is very good with his work. Take the time to tell you what he believes the problem is and does a great job repairing your automobile or truck.Very satisfied with the cost and I felt that I had been charged less than going to a car dealer.Yes, I do recommend Beach Automotive.I have never been unhappy with the results.

Totally recommend Beach Automotive! Jody and his crew is great! He is honest and stands by his work and word. You don't see that anymore. You won't be disappointed. I was going to another big company auto shop but I will not be going back. Make an appointment with Beach automotive, you won't be disappointed.

We recently took my wife's Mountaineer in to have the engine worked on. My wife called and spoke to Jody on a Friday morning, he had her bring it in on Monday morning, and had it fixed by 5:00 p.m. Monday night. The bill was barely over $100. Finding a quality mechanic that doesn't break the bank isn't easy, and I was more impressed with how quickly he had her car back on the road. Jody is easy to talk to and very friendly. We'll be bringing both of our vehicles here next time they need service. Highly recommend!!!

They did an amazing job! They did everything in their ability to get my truck back up and running. They agreed to use my part I purchased which turned out to be faulty. Jody took upon his self to inform me about the warranty on the junky dorman product and told me he'd take care of everything. He dealt with autozone to get the new part and to pay the labor for the first installation. He installed the second part with no issue and went one step further to make sure all connections to the solenoid pack were pristine. Then the price to begin with was awesome compared to the big name stores and in the end he was even kind enough to lower it a little bit. The price, service, attention to detail, and just the kindness of all that work there.... I would 10/10 recommend them for any vehicle repair needs.Vehicle worked on: 2006 Dodge ram 1500 Laramie 4wdService done: Transmission work/ solenoid replacementService: Transmission

I didn't go here for any service, but I went with a friend. We were in town to check out a car for potential purchasing at a local dealership. It was a bit hard to find, but once we did, the service was truly amazing. Not only did we get a thorough review of the car, we learned some tips and tricks along the way. They were also very friendly, helpful, and reasonably priced for what we wanted. So glad we found them!

Jody, at Beach Automotive has been working on our vehicles for many years. Jody and his team are very talented professionals. Their work is exceptional and we have never had any issues with their workmanship. We have a great professional relationship with Jody and all our vehicles are exclusively worked on by Beach Automotive. I have recommended Beach to all our friends and family.

Love love love!!!! Very trustworthy guys I would not trust taking my vehicle anywhere else they are absolutely incredible! They have the best customer service and if you go in they won't sit and tell you that you have 1001 things wrong with your vehicle will fix the problem and then make sure they fix it right so again I would trust anybody else to touch my vehicle. If you're looking for a good mechanic you found one in this place.

This is the best mechanic I've ever been to. They are very quick about getting cars in and fixing them in the cheapest way possible. My drivers window broke on a Sunday, I called at open on Monday morning, and Jodi had it fixed same day for way less than I expected. Such a life saver. THANK YOU JODI.

As Im sure you know a good mechanic is hard to come by. After quite a search, I was able to find Jody at Beach automotive. He is ASE certified, the only mechanic I trust, and an all around good guy. Long story short, if you need some car repairs, stop in to Beach Automotive. You won't be steered wrong!

Take all my vehicles to Beach's. Best mechanic I've ever used. Just did a major repair on my wife's vehicle for almost $2000 less than the dealer wanted & Jody stands behind his work. Won't go anywhere else.

Had a timing belt replaced at Car X, got the car back and it ran like garbage, rough idle, dying & hesitating on acceleration. Car X told me it was most likely a bent valve. Brought my car to Beach to have the valve work done. They called me the next day told me that the timing belt wasn t installed correctly, there was missing bolts, most of the bolts were only finger tight, the motor mount bolt was loose as well. They had the car done that same day! Car X had this thing for almost 2 weeks messing around! Take your car to a good honest reliable mechanic folks! These guys get the job right and they get it done fast!

I was very pleased with the quickness and honesty for the work performed on my vehicle. They could have charged me more to fix what I thought was wrong, instead he just fixed what was wrong and it was less than what i had thought. Highly recommended!
