It’s hard to find a car shop that not only doesn’t take advantage of you, but also delivers excellent customer service. They were super welcoming, provided a detailed car inspection, didn’t push me to do anything but simply gave suggestions, and were very prompt with response times. I could rely on them to email/text/call whenever I reached out or was awaiting feedback. Highly recommend!
This is my first time visiting this location but it won’t be my last. The staff is honest, thorough and hard working. I sat and watched as the interacted with their staff and customers. I was impressed. The waiting area is also very nice.
John is amazing and sweet I recommend them they made me feel so comfortable and quick service. John was so nice to my kids he gave them snacks while we waited too. They told me how much I was gonna pay and if it was okay I really appreciate all of you guys. I will be returning if I need anything. Thank you😊
Auto ER is always so accommodating and helpful. The staff always go the extra mile and that’s what keeps me coming back for any maintenance or just routine oil changes! Dalton and Abner are amazing and always provide the most information combined with the greatest customer service.
Unfortunately, I had a few bad experiences with previous auto shops, but let me tell you the Auto ER came to the rescue. John, GM and Scott, Tech were so welcoming. John is very nice and professional. Scott provided excellent service, he took his time to explain all the issues. My vehicle doesn’t sound like a duck quack anymore, thanks to the guys at Auto ER. Extra bonus is their shuttle service.Best place in town!
I went there to get tires and John was awesome he explained all the different options I had to choose from. I will definitely go back for other services on my vehicles. This is an awesome place with very awesome people. Thank you John and the rest of the guys that work there.
I would recommend this shop to anyone needing work done. If you are thinking about it but because you don’t want to get taken advantage of I’ll give them a chance. I move to Gainesville and don’t have a mechanic I googled for a tire shop and they came up so I decided to give them a try and guess what I am so happy I did. They worked on my truck changed 4 tires oil change and a belt price was right and the work done was Quality on time and very fair. I would recommend the shop to anybody just give them a try and you will be happy.
All I have to say is thank god for Auto ER and John, the GM. We were on a road trip from Miami to Minnesota, when our car started smoking. We came to Auto ER because it was the closest mechanic, and we are so glad we did! John and his team got right to work, jumped through hoops to get the part we needed to fix the Transfer Case, stayed late to do the install, and got us back on the road. A++ customer service! The issue was due to another mechanics mistake. The team was very transparent, knowledgeable, and showed us exactly what was wrong to help us understand the issue so we can get some money back from our Miami dealership (who did the shoddy work). 10/10 would 100% recommend Auto ER. Thank you to the Auto ER Team! I wish we could find a place like this in Miami!
John took great care of us here! He was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Very good deals, and serviced us quickly! Highly recommend this shop to get your car needs taken care of :)
This place is awesome! John gave me a great deal. Inviting atmosphere. They definitely know their stuff. The best place around! Give them a go!
Best auto repair shop! I have been there multiple times. John and the whole team do more than expected on time for a great price!
They always do a great job of taking care of my car! I always come back to them because they always set me up with great deals and most of the time have some kind of offer going on! The manager, John Taylor, is a nice man who gets all the paperwork done efficiently!
I was driving between Pensacola and Gainesville when my check engine light came on in Tallahassee. As soon as I drove off of I-75, I found the nearest auto center which was Auto ER. They were welcoming, professional, and saw to my car right away despite closing soon. After running diagnostics, they determined that the engine light was an error and that everything looked good to go. No charge! They assured me they could take a look at it while I’m here for the weekend in case it came back on. I really appreciate their business and their honesty. Thank you for making an already stressful trip less stressful!
John was very professional and accommodating. He managed to get everything taken care of in one afternoon before an out of town trip on short notice, which is already great. He then arranged for me to be driven back to work after I dropped my car off, and when I later had a migraine and had to take medicine that makes it hard for me to drive, he not only had me picked up from work by the Auto ER shuttle, but also had my significant other picked up from work so I wouldn’t have to drive myself home on dizzying medication. Bravo!
Great service. Would recommend
They are great! I get a fair price nice service I cant say enough good things.They have a customer for life
Daughter broked down and they went out of the way to help her! Very appreciative and great people Thank you John and Brian!
Good place with good service
Oh my goodness!! We had a blowout on 75. Although it was closing time they stayed open after they got a call from the tire shop we went to first who didnt have our tire. Gave the kids drinks as we waited. They were so nice and made sure everything was all safe to get back in the road!! Such a blessing!!
They will rip you off. Went there with rough running truck. They gave me a $2500 estimate. They said several different things needed fixing. They even said I needed new shocks What a joke. Got it fixed at another shop for 400 bucks!
Nice waiting room, comfortable. They offer coffee, water, even small selection of softdrinks.
I had an emergency while traveling. Lisa and the guys took good care of me, got the work done for a fair price. I’m back on the road and I’m thankful that I was able to find these folks when I was I need of help while away from home.
John went above and beyond replacing the tire on our daughter’s car. When she was on her way out of town for a job interview we noticed her FR tire bulging at the seam. Time was of the essence. John located her specific tire and even picked it up. In less than an hour she was on the road to make her interview. Can’t express enough how grateful we are. “Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations in every way. We will definitely be back!”
Thank You Auto ER for helping me with my van when I needed it most. You fit me in your schedule and I really appreciate that. I enjoy coming to your place and just think you guys are great. Thanks for the snack and the drink while I waited, I love the hospitality you share with your clients. Thanks again for everything. Im glad there is a place like this in Gainesville and I know where to go for my car needs. You guys Rock! Keep up the Great Work Ethic and Quality Service, it doesnt go unnoticed. :)
People are extremely friendly and helpful. Blew out 2 trailer tires back to back and needed replacements, they were able to get them in quickly and had them mounted/balanced just as fast. Thanks Lisa!
Best garage I have ever taken my car too! Always makes me feel comfortable and trusted! The woman at the front desk, Lisa, could not be more amazing. She is so helpful and genuinely cares about you! I love Auto ER!
We were travelling from north gerogia to florida when the car started running bad. We had two small children with us and had no clue of the area or good mechanics. Sals auto er was outstanding. Their customer srvice and quick help was amazing. They are truly good people who are their to help. We higly reccomend them.
Honest repair shop that does good work.
They were amazing! They were able to accommodate the needs I had for the car and shuttled me to work when I dropped off and picked me up when the car was ready. The customer service was outstanding and I couldnt appreciate them more! Hopefully I dont have more car damage, but if I do I would use them again for sure!
Great people, they do great work. My Van broke down and they went the extra mile to help me and get me going. I will not take my vehicle any where else
Had my 1st contact with Sal’s AutoER, today, when I took my car in for an oil change. What a pleasurable experience, starting with Lisa, who checked me in, to the immaculate waiting area (with free beverages & snacks!), to the quick turn-around time. I’ve never taken my car into other places for oil changes, when I wasn’t given a huge list of issues they wanted to work on! Lisa pointed out some things that, as part of routine maintenance, would be needed in the future, but they didn’t try to oversell my on any repairs!
Did a great job on our vehicle in a timely manner. Thank you
Amazing customer service always leave happy, if things arent done correctly, all you have to do is let them know and theres no hassle they fix asap! Very happy with their services!
This shop is AWESOME!! The manager, Lisa, is SO friendly, warm and welcoming. The location is very convenient. Only a few seconds from i75 and a minute away from santa fe college. They offer drop off service so you can get to where you need while your car is getting worked on. FAIR, COMPETITIVE pricing. QUALITY work. HONEST business. I trust my car and wallet with them. Do yourself a favor and go! Theyre the best in town!!! :)
One of my tires almost separated on I-75. This place is right off the interstate. Lisa, the store manager, is super friendly and knowledgeable. The guys got the car on the lift with no wait and she showed us the issue. They had the tires in stock and got us back on the road in no time. Also the waiting room is clean and comfortable with complimentary snacks and drinks.
I trust Sals Auto ER for all my automotive repairs. Lisa (the manager) is tremendously knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I had multiple problems with my 2004 Subaru Outback, and she helped me prioritize the most pressing issues to fit my budget, and let me know which issues I should attend to next. Her expert crew of mechanics do impeccable work with quality parts at a fair price. I will be recommending Sals to all my friends and family. Five enthusiastic stars!
Our van had a major breakdown while we were traveling. Very thankful that this place was close. Lisa the Manager and Mike the mechanic were great. Very accommodating to us and our 3 kids. We basically made the waiting room our living room for a few hours. Never fun to breakdown but this place made the best of it. I felt good about getting repairs done here. Several customers that came and went said they have been bringing their cars for years. I would definitely recommend Auto ER.
I visited the Auto ER off 97th Blvd as part of the free services for healthcare workers. Everyone I came in contact with was nice and helpful. I look forward to using Auto ER in the future for my maintenance.
Amazing shop! Amazing service! I recommend Sals to anyone I can... check them out, you won’t be disappointed!
Scott was awesome
Great service, quick work. Awesome experience.
This place is amazing! Great customer service, honest and they truly look out for their customers. My family and I have come here for many years and it is a blessing not to worry about any repairs or issues as I know that they have my best interest at heart. I highly recommend Auto ER.
Ive been to Sals multiple times to when my car has been on the verge of major problems. They always take the time to explain everything carefully so that I know whats wrong and the correct way to fix it. To get the job done they use high quality parts and expert labor while charging a fair rate. Overall, I think Sals is a great value for the high confidence I have in the work that keeps my car reliable and safe.
Ive been taking my vehicles to Sals/Auto ER since 1992 & have always had positive experiences 😀 Gotta give shoutouts to Lisa, Mike & Brian whove been there for some years! Their mechanical skills, pricing, well kept waiting room w/refreshments, & personalities are much appreciated. I hope that my son continues to take future vehicles there for service ......... & I wanna thank them in advance for putting new tires on his car today 👍🚗😁
Service was prompt and friendly. Labor prices were very reasonable.Update:Originally a five star review. We discovered later that they completely missed what was wrong with our car. We had to take it to another shop and it cost us more than double to get it fixed right.
We were 3hrs from home with a flat tire on our trailer... This place save the day! Staff is so kind, great prices, and the waiting room is the most pleasant place considering why you are there! I wish we had them closer to us!!!
Everything I wanted in an auto repair business. When I took my truck there, they explained how they would proceed, then called me when they said they would and gave me a great explanation of the issues and costs. The job was completed when they said it would be and it was done with great quality. No issues at all, just great customer service and a fair price. Exactly what I hoped for!
These people are the best. They are inexpensive, very friendly, and very good at their jobs. Lisa is on top of her game for sure. An amazing garage. Only place Ill go.
Terrys Automotive. Dependable service
Knowledgeable and engaged staff. Professional and trust worthy. There arent many auto mechanic shops you can genuinely say you trust.
Great experience at Sals. After issues were fixed, car is running smoothly. They even had someone available to take me home when I dropped off my car... oh and they actually have good coffee in the comfortable waiting room.
I have been taking my car to Sals for 8 years and have total confidence in this establishment. They are honest, professional, friendly, and affordable. They have always been very helpful in explaining what they are doing and what my car needs. They also dont try to sell me something I dont need.They give me a ride to work and back and are always polite. I feel very comfortable recommending them to friends.
Ive been going to Sals for repair work on our cars for more than 15 years. My experiences have always been positive. On more than one occasion, the repair was less than I had anticipated and they were upfront about it. They never tried to gouge me by saying the vehicle needed more than it really did. I recommend Sals to friends and family when they ask for a good, reliable, and honest garage.
You guys are awesome! Big THANKS to Lisa for always looking out for me (and my car ;). They’ve treated my family and me fairly and the work they do has always been stellar! No hesitations when recommending Sals!
Great job! Ive been going to the location on archer road, happy to find out this is part of the same company. : )
As I was going to question about the one tire I wanted to save for backup, one of the mechanics stopped me.. extremely Rude!! Better off going to different location!!! Office staff was No problem but the Mechanic was extremely rude and uncalled for. I will never be back to this location... as I told Lisa.
Once again, Auto ER was there to rescue me!! I was planning a trip to AL & spend Mother’s Day with my son & his family, when my car started chugging & breaking up! I called sweet Lisa at 8 AM & she said to bring it right in. The car hadn’t had a tune up in a long time & thats what it needed, plus a new tire! Priicing was great, Lisa even went to the trouble of finding a way I could find reasonable financing, if needed! This place is beyond amazing, getting me in right away, fixing my car in just about 2 years, allowing me to spend this special time with my family, which is priceless!! Thanks again to Lisa, & Mike, who are professional, kind & caring!
It is important to trust your car mechanic . The crew at Sals AutomotiveER on NW 97th Blvd have my trust. It has been necessary to take my old Volvo in for multiple repairs this year, suspension, brakes, brake fluid, oil changes and tires. Accurate quotes and prompt service. They also provide courtesy drive back to your home or place of business if you need it. Very professional and courteous customer service. Im car tech challenged and Lisa doesnt hesitate to explain procedures so I can understand. The mechanic, Mike, knows the business and has the skill to get it done right.Thanks to you all, I feel comfortable driving my car.
This will be my go to mechanics shop in Gainesville for a few great reasons. They are honest about any issues that they come across in the car & seem to really care about the quality of their work in your car, which is so important to me having only the 1 car right now. They get the work completed quickly & their waiting area is very comfortable. The th graciously offer snack & soda while we wait, which I really appreciated since I usually have my kids with me. They even referred me to someone else to get my locks fixed, instead of claiming the job for themselves. I recently went there to get some air in my tires & Lisa came out from behind her desk to do it herself, since the mechanics were busy, she then noted that both of my back tires were unsafe with the ware that was on them. She immediately found a time that day to get new ones on right away & seemed to have true concern about the safety of myself & family. While they were changing the tires, she came & showed my where the wire was showing through, which reassured me that they needed to changed desperately. I would definitely recommend them for you future car repairs.
Got my car fixed here after a really bad car crash. The man working on my car was so kind and thoughtful and really made the awful situation so much better. My car was done promptly and I was consulted at every step, so no unpleasant surprises. My car looked as good as new when it was done.
These guys are my go-to for all of my routine vehicle needs. The techs are very knowledgeable, and the manager, Lisa, Is friendly, courteous, organized, and very professional. I could not recommend Auto ER on 39th any more highly!
Great mechanics and customer service. I was traveling out of town from Atlanta to Tampa for business and my car began to leak what I thought was oil and I got off the exit and my wife located this shop via google. These guys really took care of me. What I thought was an oil leak turned out to be an issue with my transmission fluid needing to be changed. They could have really hit me over the head and charged me for services I didnt need, instead they checked my car for transmission leaks and refilled my car with the proper fluids and provided me with extra fluids to get me back on the road. These guys saved me hundreds of dollars and saved my business trip. You Rock!!!
Wife has been going here for a while for oil changes, prices were reasonable and service was fast. Wife stopped by there to have them check out a noise that I didnt have time to check out. Little did she know that they were going to charge her $65 to do this ( a discount from the normal $80) and write her an estimate where the parts were double the price listed at Napa. Seems like they were trying to take advantage of a lady. Thanks but no thanks. We are done using their services and I will make sure and tell everyone I know not to use them as well.
New to the area and have been here twice. Both times I was given amazing and prompt service. The first time was for a basic oil change and they gave me a nice diagnostic checkover and, instead of saying something was wrong (I had one done at my previous mechanic not too long before moving here and it my vehicle checked out perfect, so I wanted to see what Auto ER would say), they were very honest saying everything looked great too.On my second visit, it was for an emergency rattle coming from under my vehicle. They were nice enough to bring it in immediately and checked it out. They were unable to fix the rattle, but recommended me to a muffler shop to get it checked out and didnt charge me for their time and work.Very honest, lots of integrity, very professional, very friendly. I will definitely be returning!
We have been using Sals for 5-6 years and have never been disappointed. We feel that they are always honest and do what they say they are going to do. On a couple of occasions, we have taken one of our vehicles to somewhere else for an oil change or new tires and have been told we need certain things to be done. Before committing to the work, we have gone to Sals for a second opinion and have been told the work was not necessary.
GREAT SERVICE👌 had a overheating issue with my 94 Honda Accord because of my fan not turning on mechanic found out the issue in a matter of seconds diagnoses cost beautiful $55.89👌💯 manager at the front desk was also very nice and professional loved my experience and buisness here.
Sals AutoER has great customer service and Mechanics
Mike at the location off 39th does great work! He went above and beyond the labor I was billed.
Took my daughters car in on Feb 23rd because her A/C went out. Had to pay $56 for diagnosis. The head mechanic couldnt even diagnose anything specific so he said I needed an evaporator, condensor and all new lines and sent me a bill for over $2400. Complete waste of money. Bought a condenosr for $101 on the internet and installed in 2 hours. They would have charged me $2400, and STILL probably would only replaced the one item. Tried to bilk a poor college student....Avoid these people.
Always great trustworthy service. You can always count on them for any car troubles.
My first time going and fell in love! They are very helpful, and reliable . And who doesnt agree with fast service . Very convinient!
Lisa is fantastic over 20 years in the industry and a team of technicians.
I have been with Sals Automotive for YEARS and always have been pleased with the service. Also I tell friends and family what excellent service they provide.You can always count on Sals for any repairs or any other issues your car has or needs.Your the best!!! Jean Denson
Dont come here if you come off as a car illiterate, theyll take advantage of you and maybe even purposely damage a car part for more money. I know this from experience, I will NEVER take my vehicle here again.
They have the best mechanics
Awesome people, Lisa is great!
Had car trouble headed to Disney, this place was unable to work on my car, said it would be the next day.... Had to drive it else where...
Exceptional customer service!
👍
Honest mechanics and reasonable rates
They ALWAYS treat me and my cars very well !
Honest, great service!
Very friendly and fast
Always honest and reliable
