Was recommended from a friend. I had a lot of work done on my truck and was very satisfied with the workmanship. Would recommend. Pat’s son Reid was very courteous, and professional when I picked up my truck. Thank you very much.
Got a recommendation from a family friend. Thought I had 4WD problems and after a short drive Reid diagnosed the torque converter. Rather than sell me on a new one they recommended a treatment, got me in the next day, stayed in contact while they had it and charged a reasonable rate. I take care of my truck and am constantly looking for a reputable honest mechanic. These guys are it! Thanks again gentlemen, I’ll be pushing everyone I know your way!
Weve called several places to have our AC repaired in our Toyota van.... The AC evaporator under the dash had to be replaced and everywhere else would like to way overcharge us because were seniors so we have to watch what we spend since were on a fixed income. So Pats Automotive quoted us a price much less than anywhere else plus they completed the job so quickly it was done the next day. Now our AC is the coldest its ever been so we thank you very much and highly recommend Pats Automotive to everyone!!-Alex Koltay
Came to Pats because of my father, who used them for years, before passing. He was a huge supporter of Pats local business - and my father was hard to please. These guys were great. Kind, patient, no irritability or rushing that you expect from a business like this. The work, service and price was great. No hard sell. Made me feel secure and relaxed about the whole experience.
Pats Automotive has been taking care of our vehicles for more than 25 years, and we keep coming back because we always receive excellent service. Their quality of work is very high, and they stand behind it if there is an unexpected problem. They are honest, with good pricing and no surprises.
Been going here for a couple of years now with my old vehicles. It seems to me that they are very good at diagnosing the problem correctly the first time, saving time and money. Their pricing seems fair, once they diagnosed an issue for me without charging and I fixed it myself. Another time I replaced a transmission cable but I couldnt get it securely in place and they did that for me at no charge.... I just tipped the mechanic.... So these are great guys to work with.
We were traveling through town back home to West PalmBeach and a radiator hose blew. They fixed and took great care of us, had us back on the road within a couple hours.Thanks so much
Pat’s did everything from a simple oil change to a new transmission to a fuel line eaten by squirrels and all for a good price.
I had a coolant leak fixed one week and a vaccuum pump seal fixed the following week. Both services were timely, affordable, and informative. These guys know what theyre doing
Pats Automotive his very professional not to mention reliable very reasonable in price actually lower than everyone that I had went to Pat beat out them all his prices were very very fair he was very knowledgeable about my car and I was able to get my car back the same day I took it I would definitely go to him any day of the week I will highly recommend him hes very professional these guys get the job done quick and fast
As always when I bring my car to Pats I know I can trust them to find out whats wrong, give me a fair price, and fix it quickly. I always bring my car to Pats and Ive recommended several friends and family.
Highly recommend, good prices and friendly service!
Vehicle was worked on when I was in a pinch. It got done and I am pleased with the outcome.
Thanks guys for taking care of my BMW M4 awesome job see you soon
I feel screwed out of my money after two repairs. Left with engine light on and same terrible noise I initially came in for. Never again!
I always go to Pats, He takes care of all my vehicles awesome Service
Left car to replace Alternator and He ended replacing the Starter. Put new starter and because the car did not start, said the starter was fine but the engine was locked up. He did not checked the alternator. Bottom line is I needed a new engine. So, to get a 2nd opinion, went to another mechanic and after the diagnostic the alternator was replaced and the car was fixed. all back to normal. Last, when He put the original starter back on, the other mechanic found the screws loose. I would not recommend.
Im sorry but I was not overly impressed on the phone. I dont even leave Google reviews too often but Im very frustrated. I called them yesterday and asked if I could tow my car and he acted like it wasnt a problem as long as it was the next day. Then I called this morning and hes like oh now its changed till Monday. When somebody is depending on their car and doesnt have the money to have a rental car days on end its respectable to at least be honest with somebody up front you dont want to handle my car its fine. maybe this place is fine if you have a scheduled appointment out a week I dont know but I was not impressed with an emergency situation that happened with me they were definitely not accommodating. again, maybe they do great work but Im not impressed with how they handled my situation.
Pats Automotive was a positive experience. The prices are very fair and the service was great.
Always fair best prices great service. They treat you like family. I have taken every car I’ve owned to them and always come away happy with their services.
Absolutely professional and understanding. Affordable too.
We have been in Dunedin for many years and thought we had found our forever mechanic. Unfortunately due to business conditions he had to close and move so we were a bit unsettled as we looked for a new and trustworthy mechanic. We tried Pats based on reviews and neighbors suggestions and honestly, he has been better than we could have ever expected. Im a fan of older cars so to be honest, I need a good and reliable mechanic to keep us going. My son in law is also a fan of older cars and he had some major front end issues and we could not be happier with the results. I honestly feel we will get 2-3 more years out of his car because of the work Pat did. My wife is more into newer cars, but no problem, we have taken hers to Pat as well and its always good as the dealership, probably better (well, no espresso machine but I know the price and work is better!) If you have any issues that you need a mechanic, just go to Pats. Keep him busy and in Dunedin! Thanks Pat!
Im fairly new to the area and was looking for a trustworthy local repair shop. I found that here! Pat and Reed are caring, friendly and honest. I made an appointment for full brakes as I was told by a large chain shop that I was driving an unsafe vehicle as the brakes were so bad. I wanted to give my business to a local shop and found Pats. Their Google reviews helped me to choose them. To my surprise I was advised by Pats that I had at least another year on my brakes. Thank you so much for your honesty. During this tough economy it means so much to me to not have this addtional cost. You have my future business for a life time!
You can trust Pats automotive no pressure
Knowledgeable people reasonably priced and very efficient I would come here again and again and again
Good people trusted.
They got my AC charged up for me. Ahhhhhhh
If you’re interested in getting ripped off, this is the place for you! An estimate and a courtesy phone call with an update was agreed upon by Reid, instead a phone call that unauthorized work had been performed was received. Upon arrival this morning, when Pat was questioned about their practices he got defensive and snatched the invoice away. $100 to put in a plastic plug and 3 bottles of antifreeze. Keep the money. The negative effects of your below the board actions will be your true payoff. What a joke. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Family Owned and Operated. Highly Recommended. Will fix your vehicle and get you back on the road.
They have fast and friendly service but I wasnt pleased with the price gouging. I took my Honda there go get a small break light switch repaired. The part was $3.48 and it took them 5 minutes to install. Somehow I walked out of there with a $50 bill.I dont understand why shops dont take opportunities like this to say hey, ya know what? It was a really easy fix so were gonna charge you $10 for the job. Have a great day. Guess what? I would have left a great review, come back for future services and told others about your business. Instead that rediculous charge for 5 minutes of your time is likely going to turn a lot more business away.
I have been taking my vehicles to Pats Automotive for years. Pat and his son Reid operate with the highest level of integrity. Very knowledgeable, fair pricing, and excellent work. My last visit in to their shop I had a washer reservoir lift replaced and my ac blower motor cleaned out. The body shop at Auto Way Nissan in Clearwater never properly fixed my washer fluid sensor. The light is finally off and i couldnt be happier thanks to Pats. Also my Nissan Titan never had an air cabin filter installed from the factory. Im so glad that I had Pats install one when they cleaned out my ac blower motor. They have also installed tires for me in the past, tire rotations, oil change, rear parking sensor speaker, and a window lift motor. These guys do it all and I will keep going back for excellent service. Thank you Pats Automotive Service for your excellent work!Updated Review: Recently I had a tire that was going flat. Pats Automotive fit me in the day after a holiday. I had a pin hole in the side of my tire. They put a new tire on the vehicle for me. I went to pick it up and it did not look fully inflated. It turns out my decorative valve stem caps were a problem and allowing air to escape. They also reset my TPS light. They solved 3 different problems for me! Thank you Pats Automotive Service, you will continue to be my number 1 choice for auto repair.
Very pleased with the customer service. I went for an oil change and left very happy. Prices are decent. And pat cares about the customer first! Thanks pat!
We have utilized Pat and Reids expert talents for over 15 years. One example, a few years ago one of my Benzs had a issue with the idle and start up. Crown had the car three weeks could not fix. Reid had the E300for about an hour called and said he knew what it was. Picked up my car later that day. Ran perfect. We feel like we are doing business with Family
I just moved to the area, and found a coupon in a local guide, for an oil change with tire rotation. (upon request) I called to make an appointment, and was pleasantly surprised that they got me right in.Their shop/waiting area was clean and uncluttered. Even their restroom was clean! (these things may not seem important when selecting an auto shop, but it does say something about the type of business they run)Not only was the service inexpensively priced, but they were fast and friendly. I was in and out.Thanks Pats Auto..Ill be back!
I’ve been going to Pats Automotive for the last 10 years and have been extremely happy with their services. I just had a problem with my radiator part that wasn’t supposed to break and Pat got me back on the road ASAP within a few hours of telling him what was wrong. They’ve helped me with windows, tires, oil leaks and many more. If I need car repair this is where I would go EVERY TIME ☺️✌🏽
I think Pat and Reed at Pats Auto are very honest and have fair competitive pricing. I have been taking my cars and trucks there for years and have never had a bad experience.
A couple of times ive brought my car here and the last time they didnt hook my battery up correctly and my windshield wiper fluid isnt spraying out. I can hear the motor running when i use it but there is no way it broke on its own. Doesnt want to fess up to shoddy work. Not going back, doesnt matter if you guarantee good work if something else always breaks that you have to pay to fix and be inconvenienced to bring it back in.
Bought a car from Pats, it was a real good experience. Gave me a great deal on a very nice Jetta, and they handled everything right there for me. Im sure they are great mechanics because of the quality of vehicles that were for sale, and all the vehicles that they were working on.
Excellent Service. Honest, Affordable and fast service. I got my rear suspension issue fixed on my benze and I am very happy with the outcome. Great family operation.
I had my car towed to Pats automotive yesterday, in a panic and scared that any repairs would cost an arm and a leg. Pat and Ried were awesome! Not only did they assure me that they would get to my car today but they really put my mind at ease about the whole process. Pat called me around noon and told me that my car was ready to go and at no charge( it was a simple loose terminal). I will only be using this shop from now on and will recommend them to everyone I know.
This is a mechanic you can trust to not overcharge you. Their prices are fair and their service is quick! Im so glad I found this shop!
The best mechanic around! He listens to you and your needs. I also bought my car thru here, the best car Ive ever owned...
I have been a happy customer of Pats for over 10 years. Reliable, reasonable and friendly service.
Better than most places and they stand by their work so thats a plus.
I have serviced more than one vehicle with Pats and have always been satisfied with quality and pricing of their worki.
Nothing but good experiences at Pats auto. Both Pat and his son Reid are very honest and fair. They were able to fix my van when dealer couldnt after 2 tries and lots of $. Never again to the dealer, 1 try and Reid fixed for less $. Now I take my car to them for everything!
Good old honest fair service.If they cant fix it, they send you to another good honest person.Great Guys
Hell my car sound better before i went now sound like it wont to brake down on side or road
I have a vintage Porsche, Pat and son Reid are THE ONLY ONES THAT WORK ON IT! THEY ARE AWESOME!
Nice people
This place is a rip off they lie and say that this is wrong with your car just to get more money out of you.
These guys are awesome!! Highly recommend!!!
Fine experienced mechanic
Good prices
Not very friendly or hospitable
