I got a flat tire right by this shop, so I pulled in. By the time I made ot to their parking lot, my tire was almost off the rim I fully expected them to try to sell me a new tire, and then 3 more for a matching set, and then an alignment. I got none of that. They fixed my tire in less than 30 minutes and I had my car back for under $31. This is my first ever experience with a mechanic that didnt try selling me a bunch of extra things. I look forward to seeing what they can do with my old work truck.
Used to be a good shop few years back. Down to earth and friendly. My friend introduced me to them. But now, theyve changed. The guy and lady at the desk are arrogant. Had some work done a few weeks ago and I got charged for dubious items. No honesty and transparency whatsoever. Parts and labor are very expensive all in the name of genuine parts. I got a quote after the fact from another shop(5 star rated) and i could have saved 250 bucks had i found them before going to Lous. I can safely say theyve lost my business and all the people Id have recommended them to. My advice to you: Dont get too comfortable even if youve always gone to this shop. Look around and do your research. There are tons of better shops that have come up recently.
Took my Ram to Lous for a set of shorty headers and front brakes. The owner, Lou, and Manger, Steve stayed until 8pm on a Friday to get the job done and get me back on the road. Would highly recommend to anybody needing car repairs. Price, quality, and service were exceptional...Too bad I can only give 5 starts!
Took the car to change 2 wheel studs, one was broken off and the other was stripped by Sam’s club tire service . They gave me an estimate of $132 and one hour later they called me like they always do and make a big deal out of the repair to get more money, they told me I need another wheel stud with new lock nuts and something loose. I told them ok do whatever it takes and I made a mistake to say that. Too bad I trusted them without a written estimate because my bill went from $132 to $741.86. What a crook people working there never trust them and will never return back.
Lou got me in same day even though they were busy. He diagnoses a problem for me that I thought I had with my motor mounts. He told me they did not need to be replaced right now, but he did notice my back break pads were needing to be replaced. Very nice owners, honest, affordable and worked us in! Even patched my BFs tire!
I was given a quote for brakes. When I picked up car the total was under the quote, plus I was called about two other small items needing to be done to my car which were able to be completed the same day. Friendly service. Drop key accessible.
Im so impressed by the kindness of this company! We were totally stranded and they all helped us instantly! Everyone who works here is wonderful!!!!
Lou helped me personally. Very helpful and didnt try to gouge me
I had an immediate need to replace my radiator and repair my AC system. The gentleman Steve explained the diagnostic over the phone, called an hour later with how they needed to proceed and with a better priced quote than I was expecting. They fixed everything that day! He even waited for me to pick up my car until after closing because I couldn’t get there sooner! Thank you so much—I would highly recommend!
Towed me and letThem fix the problem- got a new fuel pump and picked it up next day and have no cab lights, dash lights and cargo lights… took back expecting a no problem sir we will fix it….they say it’s a coincidence- nah- never had that issue and I’m nobody’s fool! Can’t believe Greg owner would not fix the issue his workers caused - paid over $800 for fuel pump now you try and ripMe off more?- no! Owner is a crook-
Amazing service, they took great care of me. Typically I feel like auto care places take advantage of me, but not Lou’s! They were very educational and made sure that they addressed all of my car issues appropriately. I will definitely be taking my vehicles there from here on out.
The owner told me that the battery in my van was not the problem. Yet, I could not start the van when I got to this repair shop! After I agreed to allow Lou to electronically test this battery, I agreed and authorized a limited cost of NO MORE THAN $142.50!!When I returned the next morning, Lou said the cost would be $220.00!!! I did NOT authorize this over-amount!! I returned after the Labor Day holiday and the van would not jump start. I was told by an employee of Discount Auto Parts next door that my battery was a one year battery and it was totally DEAD! It was advised that I should buy a new battery! I did so I bought a 2-year battery and the electrical system is perfect no loss of power no loss of energy. No need for any jump start.I am a senior, 77 years old, and feel I was taken by Lous Auto Repair Shop. I intend to report the scam which was devised by Lou himself the owner, and his manager named Steve who argued with me that the battery was good when they got it in! There is a law in the state of Florida which says especially for seniors if an auto repair shop tries to put one over on the senior that is against the law, the State of Florida law!
Affordable and fast service
Great shop! Friendly, helpful & reasonably priced. Wont go anywhere else now that Ive been to Lous. Thanks Guys!!
Great customer service, honest, and affordable.
AAA recommended Lous when my car became disabled while visiting Ft Meyers. Best car repair experience ever. Steve and Norma were on top of my repair all the way and had me back on the road in 24 hours at an incredible price.
Wonderful people, very good service come up very very polite and thank you so much
Great people, fabulous service, no complaints!
Steve who took my call was very attentive to my problem starter on my 2004 buick. Got me in quick did a quality job reasonably priced. Thanks again Steve.
Excellent place to go for car repairs...staff is friendly, professional and timely. Rates are fair, they are patient and thorough in getting the job done. Lou really went above and beyond for me. Ill definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs auto services.
Have used this business for over three years and can not say enough good things about them. The Will go out of their way to do a good job at a more than fair price.
They are the best of the best. And for me there is no one else I would go to or trust more to fix my car.
Good guys really fast service they were able to fix my clutch in only 2 days and gave me the best price in town these guys really know what there doing thanks again
Great Place!! Just need my car checked over and they were willing to squeeze me in last minute very friendly staff I’m very impressed will definitely be back! PS their dog is adorable! :-)
Lous total car care in Fort myers never fails me. They are professional, courteous, and patient. I stopped on today randomly to have the undercarriage done, they hot me and out and didnt charge! I appreciate them and will continue to come back!
I just had my car towed in that hasn’t been running in a little over a year. From the moment I called to see if they worked on Cadillac’s and a towing company they used, they have been amazing. I was initially going to drop off the vehicle yesterday but was not feeling well. When I called to let them know it wouldn’t be coming in and if it was ok to have it towed in tomorrow, Steve immediately let me know that it was no problem and hoped I felt better. When I came in this morning again, Steve went over everything I was concerned about. He let me know, from what I thought was wrong with my vehicle everything that would need to be done and gave me a rough estimate to start with. My rear drivers side window was down from what I assumed to be the battery. I voiced my concern about the window being down, and not tapped up anymore, and he immediately went outside to see if that in fact was the problem. Unfortunately for me it was not. He let me know that it was my regulator and pushed up my window so I didn’t need to worry about if it rained. Steve spent probably a good hour with me going over pricing, answering all my questions and concerns, and putting up my window. My car obviously has not been fixed yet however, I have great faith that the work will be done right and, at a fair price. I’m so grateful for this team and know my car is in good hands.
The service here is amazing. They are clear and upfront about any issues with your vehicle. They dont add on unnecessary charges or checks which I fear from every auto shop. They make you feel comfortable by walking you through all their work.
Old cars, new cars, this place does it all. Best auto repair in town.
This is a great place all the mechanics are smart.work is done professionally and in a timely manner.
Honesty, Integrity and professionalism is here at Lous total car care. I have had some big ticket items that needed repair and the customer service is top notch including working with Lou himself. I highly recommend this place and take my advice that this is an honest review by a real person. I will defiantly be back to continue to have my car serviced.
Steve was very honest, friendly, and trustworthy and got the job done quickly. I will absolutely be going back to Lous Total Car Care with any future car problems I may have!
I absolutely love this place. Lu is an amazing guy and has great prices. One of the top best in Fort Myers. His company is safe and secured. You can feel confident they’re getting the job done and your car is in good hands.
Lous total car care is great! Ive been dealing with them for a couple years now and they never let me down... thanks to Lou and the crew!
Lou Steve and the service team have never disappointed us or failed to do a very professional job. They are helpful and courteous. Don’t hesitate to put your vehicle in their capable hands.
This place is amazing. I cannot overstate how great my experience has been with this shop. They go above and beyond. I paid half the price as other shops had quoted. USA fixed and running perfect. Thet even gave us a ride home while they fixed it. If you need car repairs, do yourself a favor and call them. Youll thank me.
Best place for quality work. Straight to the point and never wasting time
Steve definitely cares about the Customer and the work that comes out of the shop! Great guys, great service. Listen up ladies if youre looking for a place to take your car and mechanics that you can trust these are the guys.
Discovered I had a screw in my tire today. Stopped in to see if they could plug/patch it. Seeing as they were completely swamped I didnt think they were going to have time to help me.. I was there for less 20 minutes! Outstanding service! New to town and found the Best shop already!!
My wife and I started going to Lous last year. Theyve always taken great care of our vehicles and have even spotted a few issues missed by the guys we used to go to. Theyve even had to fix problems caused by our older shop as well.Their staff is super friendly and personable, they are incredibly fair and more thorough than any other mechanic Ive used. Well never take our cars to any one else.6 out of 5 starts, Google will only let me give them 5, shame.
Lou is the best! I was coming from the east of Florida on a Saturday. My car light went on no one was open. I had an event at 1pm he took me in, diagnosed it! No waiting drove me to my event on time & dropped off my car to me. God bless you & your business! Funny thing when I told him where I was going it was actually his nephew! Zumba with Gil!:)
Great service and fair price for great work. Integrity is a word that come to mind. I had to take my car back for an issue associated with my last visit and there was no charge. I am a loyal customer.
I live in Sarasota, I wish Lous total car care was here rather than Ft. Myers. I have had work completed by Lous 3 times this past year and each time they have been professional and honest with their estimate and completion of work on my car. They know what they are doing and explain what is needed and why. I take extreme care of my car and am very particular who works on it. The people at the front desk are polite and very helpful and so are the mechanics. I haveconfidence with their work and highly recommend them. Thanks, Lou.
I went to Lous Total Car Care and he got me in immediately and the car was finished before 5pm ON A SATURDAY!!! Now thats GREAT service, I definitely recommend Lous Total Car Care 100%, I will CONTINUE to take my car there as this was my 1st time going and got the best service for an amazing price !!!- THANK YOU!!!
Great shop. Great mechanics.
Nice and clean, answered all my questions. No complaints
Highly recommended. I’ve been coming here for years with both personal and company vehicles and they always do a good job without overcharging.
Was recommended by a friend to try Lous out for my minivan, I was told it needed breaks and tires and wanted to take it somewhere honest and trustworthy. I had a great experience. They checked out my breaks for free (!) and then gave me a quote for 4 new breaks and 2 new tires that was affordable and fair. I will definitely be bringing it back for my oil changes and any future work, as well as recommending them to my husband and friends.
A quick nod to a young fella at NAPA Auto who suggested two different shops and Lous was one.Went in PM with a brake problem. Lou was most professional and attentive. He set us up for 8 the next morning,and kept us in the loop throughout the morning. An excellent job.was done.Th
The service at this place is AMAZING. Thank you to the gentleman who blessed me with his kindness. Words are not enough to express the gratitude I feel. Will be going back for future services and will highly recommend your shop. THANK YOU!
FINALLY a good decent honest auto mechanic!! The stirring was loose in my car. Lou did a fantastic job explaining not only the problem but also the fix to me before performing any work. Yesterday, a couple weeks later, I had issues with my car that ended up being completely unrelated. They took me in right away and explained that it was the sway bar that was causing me trouble. Last night when I picked my car up they said I was all set! He didnt even charge me for the $15 part or the labor!!Exceptional customer service! I highly recommend Lous!
Trustworthiness and integrity are the keys to the success for any auto care shop and this family owned business takes pride in those high standards. My mom and I recently were pleasantly surprised by the level of care Lou has shown us, we actually felt the need to give the man a hug! We are grateful and thankful and will be recommending their services to all. Cheers!
This place is great. Lou and his mechanics are always friendly, helpful and professional. He takes the time to explain the situation in a way that is simple to understand and even offers tips and suggestions to help keep your car running as best it can for as long as it can. Id recommend his shop to anyone that asks.
Reliable, honest and great customer service are the reasons why Ive been a Lous satisfied customer for close to ten years. I would not go anywhere else. I would highly recommend them!!
I want to add on to my already 5 star review...Lou and his staff have helped me tremendously at an especially difficult time with my car...they got me up and running again and kept me informed of everything all along the way. They are truly a great team.I have been a customer at Lou’s for a little over two years and every experience has been truly great. No matter if it’s a simple oil change or something more complicated, I have always been treated with respect and professionalism. Lou’s is honest, reliable, and professional. I highly recommend them!
Lous total car care is a great auto mechanic shop they do amazing work on any kind of vehicle, with very reasonable pricing. Super helpful and very honest when it comes to any problems or issues you may be having or experiencing with your vehicles. I would absolutely highly recommend his shop to anyone looking to have kind of work done on your car or even if you just need to stop in for a estimate or opinion on something you are looking to have done on your car. Lou is a great guy very respectful all around amazing guy and very very helpful. I will honestly say i will never go to another to another mechanic shop after the experience ive had here!! Awesome guys very pleased with there work!!
Trust em with no reservations! I meant to leave this review 6 months ago, when they actually serviced my car. I dont live in Ft. Myers but had a roadside emergency, and someone recommended them. Now Im recommending them to anyone who needs reliable, solid auto work in the area. If only I had not been stuck waiting for a tow truck for over 2 hours (not the fault of Lous Total Car care at all, by the way), they would have had me fixed up and back on the road to make it to work on time. As it was, I had to call in sick, but the folks at Lous managed to also settle a case of nerves and irritability due to missing work just by being really nice and professional. Actually it may have been their cool dog that put me in a better mood, but they still get credit.
Excellent service and very reasonable prices for professional work. Ive had my truck worked on at Lous four times now and I always leave satisfied and safe knowing everything was done right. Very professional staff and also very knowledgeable. They are extremely helpful with any questions I have and everyone there really goes of their way to help you and make sure that you and your vehicle are taken care of. Five star service in my experiences!
Lou does it again! He never disappoint me. Always fair and fast and gets me back on the road safe. Thank you!
So glad I was recommend to Lous! The service is above and beyond and the staff are oh so friendly. Lou is typically in the shop and has been doing this for 15+ years, he is honest and well priced. I highly recommend taking your vehicle here.
Went to the dealership because they said during my inspection that I was having break issues. Mind you the dealership LET ME LEAVE knowing something was going on. Went back to the dealership two weeks later.. they tell me I need one thing replaced - $950. I agree thinking its the dealer - I bought the car there they should know better. Then they come out.. now its two things that need to be replaced - total was $2,500 with parts, labor, and tax including the part I agreed to replace originally. I was so upset - I left. Called Lous Total Car Care. Explained to the owner what happened. He told me to come in for a free brake inspection. Turns out it was a part that had NOTHING to do with what the dealer said it was.. and way less expensive. Went with Lous instead of the dealer. Ive definitely learned my lesson and Im not EVER going back to the dealership for anything.
They helped me when I needed a battery quick on a Saturday morning. Very professional and willing to help!
These guys are the best..... I told them what was wrong and they got str8 to the problem. I was quoted a great price and I’m happy with the work they did
The most honest, respectable auto repair shop I have ever dealt with. They saved me a ton of money and headache. They knew I was low on funds and they were able to work around it for me. Truly the best place to get you car fixed in the Fort Myers area.
I love coming to Lou’s place. They have the best customer service and work to find the best deal for car fix ups. He’s is so trusted, my whole family uses him for all of our cars. With me being a woman, I like how they will explain everything that is being done with your car so that you understand what is being fixed and why. And hands down, he will answer any silly or stupid question you may have! ;)
Best Car shop in town. Ive been bringing my cars to this shop for years now and the staff has always been very respectful and punctual with there work. Recently my AC went out and Lou diagnosed my issue right to the source. My AC is up and running like new, blowing ice cold air! Thank You Lou!
The people there are nice and they got my car done in a timely matter
The best auto repair shop in fort Myers! Every time I go there everyone is extremely courteous and accommodating. Pricing is super affordable and work is executed in a timely manner. If you are looking for an honest and effective mechanic, I would definitely recommend this place.
While out of town for work, I was in an accident. I needed to have my truck looked at to be sure it was safe to drive back 2 1/2 hours home while pulling a trailer. Steve was very nice, funny and helpful. They checked out my truck with no charge! I highly recommend them and when Im down in Ft. Myers again and in need of auto service they will be my go to place!
Nice and honest family owned business. Very understanding about my budget and very helpful in explaining what was wrong with my car. Super nice employees and the owner and his wife are awesome. Ill be back for sure.
Just had my 2002 Jeep Cherokee fixed at Lous Total Car Care. These guys really do go above and beyond to take care of you and your car. I took it in for a death wobble but they also fixed my high idle problem and repaired my lift gate struts at no extra charge. To top that off, they also provided me with financing that was easy to apply for at a reasonable rate. I am so thrilled and relieved at the way they took care of me.
Lou and his team are exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable in their craft and also very friendly. I personally do not trust any other repair shop with my vehicles. I would recommend Lou’s Total Car Care every single time!!!
Quick work & honest service. Finally a mechanic that will actually tell you what is wrong with your vehicle and nothing extra that is unneeded. Went to multiple mechanics who all told me the same thing (standard replacement on a certain part on my car based off miles & make/model). With my family owning three of the same car and none of their cars (with higher mileage) needed to have this part replaced yet, I doubted the other mechanics. Lous Auto Repair have serviced my familys vehicles in the past. Now I know why they kept recommending me to take my car to Lous.**************Reasonably priced. GREAT SERVICE. Pleasant Staff. I will be back****************
The experience I had with the staff here was great, everyone was really friendly welcoming and friendly. I had a chance to speak with the owner of the shop and he is very fair, friendly, and an overall great business owner. You can tell their technicians know what they are doing and he takes pride in that.
What great people. I got my brakes done there and the price was half then it was at the big name places. Sitting there I observed they care about you more then up selling you for bigger profits. If you need work done and want honest people that actually care about you this is the place.
My breaks recently went out in the middle of US41! I called Lou’s right away and not only did they offer to help me get my truck to their shop, they had my truck completed within hours and ready for pick up! The service was fast and extremely customer service driven! I watched many customers come in and out with smiling faces and pleased with this service shop. I highly recommend Lou’s to everyone! The prices are more than fair and I didn’t have to struggle with massive labor rates. Every service technician who entered the building greeted us with a smile as if we were regulars! I have a 6 & 9 year old who normally are annoyed with these tasks but these boys didn’t even want to leave! Thank y’all again so much for all your help and kindness.
Great Place. The staff always helps us with our fleet vehicles. They get them done in a timely matter so we can get them back on the road. I would recommend everyone to this shop.
Great prices, friendly people, they did an excellent job on my car. I really recommend this place for anyone who want a good total car care.👍
These guys rock!! Honest and fast, how can car repair be better than that? Victor (the manager) knows his business inside and out. Ive used them 3 times now and will never go anywhere else. Doesnt seem to matter if its an oil change or a major repair, they treat you fairly and with respect. Clean, pleasant waiting area too!
Steve helped us tremendously. On our ways to the Keys and truck over heated. Needed a new radiator. They got us back on the road quickly and at a fair price.
I have never had a better experience than I did at Lou’s. They worked out the best prices for me and were the nicest people. Steve was a blessing and if you need to take your car to any place then you need to come here because they really care about you and your safety in your vehicle.
Need repair to my vehicle. They have done a great job I definitely recommend for anyone!!
Wow what a reputable honest sservice center. I was visiting F. Myers from New England and need to have some work done.What.wonderful knowledge group of service technicians.
Great place to get your car serviced, excellent staff, owner is really friendly, best prices in town.
I had one of my tail lights out and they were so fast and nice changing it. They even taught me how to change it for whenever it happens again. Definitely recommend 10/10!!
What was once a 5 star became a 1 star.This guy is incredible, he made up a whole story about how my car was not safe for driving after telling him I had a long road trip ahead of me. I got charged around 800-900 dollars for several issues this man claimed I had, but I was a little skeptical so I asked for all the original parts he was taking out of the car back just in case. A month or two later after getting home, I get the parts checked by a trusted friend and mechanic and he tells me all the parts are in fine condition. Disappointed that what I thought was a warm hearted gentleman ended up being a man who conned me out of nearly a thousand dollars.
Had an amazing experience here. The guys could tell I was frusterated from the previous shop I went to, and treated me like family. The service was quick, the staff was super friendly and professional and gave amazing service. Not to mention this was my first visit. I will definitely be going back and telling everyone to go here for any issues they have!!
My name is Don Redfield97 Jeep Grand Cherokee needed brakes badly. They got me in right away. Inspected the car. Explained and showed me the problems. Even pointed out I have a belt about to go. Its safety first and fore most. They did the work quickly and thoroughly. I discussed some other issues with them . They gave me clear precise answers. I highly recommend this shop. I certainly will be back. Thank you ! They never tried to over sell or push anything. They give service and value, as they would expect as customers themselves. Honesty and integrity are their hallmarks. At 61 yrs old I appreciate all of this.
Brought my car here to get an estimate that was over $2000. I couldnt afford to pay for the evaluation so he asked for me to write a positive review instead. I did that immediately and proceeded to find assistance to pay for the fees. Eventually i was able to get help and brought my car back a month later to get it fixed. Three weeks later, I walked here because i was told that it would be finished and could come get it the next morning. When we got here, they now saidthat theres another issue. After THREE WEEKS they had JUST found out about the issue. The next day i finally get my car back only for it to have MORE issues that it didnt have before. I was originally told that it would take only 1 week to complete. I have 4 kids including one that is disabled so it is extremely important that i have reliable transportation. I told the owner this and they still screwed me over. During the time that theyve had the vehicle, there was barely any communication on what was going on. It seems that they didnt fully check the car like they said in the 1st place. Now they are refusing to fix the problems that THEYVE caused. A week later the manager returned and fixed most of the problems. Two weeks later he says that the motor is blown and advised me to salvage to vehicle. At the end of the day they got paid by a non profit organization And Im still unable to transport my disabled daughter.
Nice people and very helpful. The best things is they do not fix anything with out giving a heads up first. Good service and all services completed in a timely manner.
Its cheaper to get a friend to fix your broken down car. So I get a check engine light on, and paid like $80 something and the DUDE tells me it was because of a Disconnected hose near the air system. I know it wasnt because I checked the engine that morning and the night before and nothing was loose. When the DUDE showed me the hose to me it was completely noticeable and dangling downwards. He said the check engine light would go off once it was connected and it never did even after 2 weeks. Anyways, he also tried to sell me a brake job worth $1500. I left and had a friend do a complete break job for really cheap and found out that the check engine light was because of a old O2 sensor. These mechanics never told me anything about a faulty O2 sensor in their Diagnostic Summary. My friend changed the O2 sensor and the check engine light automatically went away in a second.
This is the place where I always take my vehicle for repairs. I appreciate the fast service, the affordability, and the expertise of Lou and his team. He always looks out for you and your cars best interest.
This is a great auto mechanic, with EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Very professional and you can trust they know their stuff. I brought my car in and they figured out what was wrong and had it fixed the same day, with a very reasonable price. They asked if I was a AAA member, and since I was, I got a percentage off of my bill.. THEY FIXED MY CAR AND SAVED ME SOME MONEY !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM ...
From the moment I walked in to time I picked up my car this was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a car repair establishment. Victor was outstanding in explaining what repairs he would perform, the prices for service, and communicating progress. Highly recommended!
Lous auto is great! The employees are always very nice, and are willing to answer any and all questions. Theyve done all the repairs on my car since 2015, and Ive never had any problems post-repair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
These people are more than honest. I had just come from Modern Air on 41. They gave me an estimate of $900 for a new condenser. When I stopped in at Lou’s, all they found was that we had overcharged the system. They resolved my issue for under $100. As a single woman, I worry where to take my car. No longer! Lou’s will be my new place. Thanks guys!
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Delivered vehicle with in promised time frame.
This was my first time at Lous total car care and my experience was wonderful. Ive never been to a car shop that had such nice employees. Lou and the staff were very helpful. I highly recommend Lous total car care.
Youre in good hands at Lous
Lou was straight up and fair. He was also friendly which was an added bonus. I paid a reasonable price for a brake job and alignment. There was no you need this too or it looks like your flux capacitor is wearing out, youll no longer be able to go back to 1980. A breathe of fresh air! Ill definitely go back!Thanks Lou!
Great work, went in for front end work and the guys got my truck riding like new. Cool people, good vibe and great prices. Appreciate the work and advice.
