1st time customer with a volvo s80. Excellent experience. Best garage Ive been to because of the customer service, the reasonable pricing, the quick and efficient service and I was welcomed to be in the garage to see first hand what the process was with the brakes. Randy was knowledgeable, test drove the car before working on it and explained and showed me everything - made it easy to understand - highly recommended!

I have never dealt with a more honest and professional mechanic before. Randy could have easily dragged me through the ringer but he was straightforward and helped me avoid an unnecessary expense. I’m glad I chose to go with a local shop over a chain location. I will absolutely return in the future and encourage you to do the same.

Ive had Randy examine my brakes and work on them at a very fair price for quality results. I trust Randy. A couple of weeks ago I called him to get a referral for a transmission issue and he provided me with a super good professional. He didnt have to take the time to do that but thats the sort of thing a real pro does to build a lasting relationship with clients. Go to Randy for your brakes and you wont go wrong.

Randy was professional and very personable from the time of the greeting and understanding my situation. Test drive was thorough to diagnose problem and he went above and beyond to reduce the cost of the repair. Highly recommend this repair shop, there aren’t many around like it anymore.

Everybody that needs work done and lives in SRQ, look no further. I havent even had any brake work done YET, but I can tell you this man is so unbelievable. He is kind, honest and transparent. He literally walked me through the process of doing something on my own truck since I typically do my own work, just to help me and to help me save money. Literally 20 min phone call. Twice. He is so kind and not to kind of mechanic to take advantage of someone. Just having the 2 conversations I had over the phone, I fully trust this man with my vehicles. If I need brake done, I know exactly where to go. Seriously, give him your business. Its hard to find reliable and honest mechanics these days. God bless.

I called him with a last-minute brake issue and he took me in right away. He covered all the bases and kept me informed as to what he was doing and what he was looking at. After diagnosing the problem he went to work right away and did not charge me crazy amounts for the parts and found the most reasonably priced ones. Very customer service oriented and friendly atmosphere they even have a cool little mascot Shop dog I would recommend him for any brake issues

First and foremost, the work here is first rate. My vehicles brakes have been transformed from a lurching calamity to quiet and smooth operation.Randy is an educator, and he took the time to show where the problems were so there was no doubt about what needed to be done. He could tell that the vehicle had been sitting unused. He had knowledge of my 23 year old system without looking it up. He is thorough and pleasant. He also made a sincere effort to keep the costs down.I give this shop my highest recommendation. If you are fortunate, you might encounter Alyssa, who is more than an effective ambassador for this establishment.

Randy and his son Dave are amazing! Words can’t describe how much of a tremendous job they did! You don’t have to look for anywhere else to go other than this place! This is not your typical brake job establishment. Randy goes above and beyond! Thank you so much on a job well done!

Outstanding service! We are so impressed with the service at Randys. He not only test drove our vehicle and looked at all the possible issues, but he kindly and patiently explained everything he was doing more than once for my non native English speaking husband and my non mechanical brain.Randy is honest and comes across as someone who genuinely wants to help you and not just take your money. A real gem.

My son just moved to Florida and we were told by the Toyota Dealer (Stealership) that he needed brakes on both the front and the back. Randy tested the car, took my son on a drive and showed him the brake condition. The car needed no work and he thinks we have 30,000 miles left on this set of pads. No charge for all this awesome work! This guy is an incredibly honest person and I would give him 6 stars if it is possible Another reason to use local repair shops instead of chains and dealers!

It takes extremely great service or extremely poor service for most ppl to leave a review. This was a great experience. I called many places looking fir brake work and I could tell just by speaking w randy on the phone he was a good guy with intregrity. He over explained himself, was totally transparent and honest and I highly highly recommend him. When i called him I was in another shop getting an oil chamge done and that guy wamted to do my breaks but i didnt like him. People have a feeling about them and I disnt like it. Complete opposite working w randy and his crew. 5 Stars all day.

Absolutely fantastic! Stayed open for our emergency. Was very reasonable and fair on pricing as well as professional and caring about our brake problem. Randy even took the time to check my back brakes, and calipers, while the front rotors and brakes were being replaced, just to make sure we were leaving in a safe vehicle. We were in and out in less than an hour and couldnt be happier. We live in St. Pete and will travel to Sarasota for our car to be serviced here again. Thanks Randy!

This is the best and most honest brake repair shop I have ever encountered. Jiffy Lube told me I needed rear brakes. Randy inspected my car and found I still had 50% left! If someone tells you you need a brake job, ask Randy first! He is honest and economically priced! Thanks for being there for me.

Outstanding encounter. Randy and his son run an exceptional shop. Honest, professional and knows their stuff. Wont up-sell you and gives you only what you need. 33+ years in the business has made them among the best because they treat each customer like family. Fair pricing, quality work/parts, straight-forward honest assessment and advice. You wont find a better brake shop of this caliber that knows more about brakes then this shop. Randy is involved in doing whats right and not what is expedient. I give Randy the highest recommendation. Thanks Randy for running a shop you can trust and depend on.

Exceptional service. I contacted Randy by phone today and was given an estimate. My wife and I brought the car in and Randy test drove it, brought it into the shop and inspected it while showing us both the brakes and ensuring no additional items were needed. He then drove us to a nearby resturant where we enjoyed a nice lunch and then picked us up about an hour later. Quick service, reasonable priced and friendly. I will return with my other vehicles for brake services .

As a “newbie” to the area, I was looking for a reputable repair shop to replace the brakes on my Honda Accord. THere were many shops online near me with 3 and 4 star reviews. Then I saw Randy’s Brake Repair shop website with many, many 5 star reviews. I’m here to add my 5 star review to all the others. Randy is a knowledgeable, personable, honest mechanic who replaced the brakes, trued the rotors, and replaced the brake fluid in under 4 hours for a very reasonable price.I’ll recommend Randy’s brake repair to anyone.Thank you Randy!!

Just came back from getting new front brakes on my daughters camry. Randy and his son are kind, honest, hardworking and transparent. I was car illeterate before we came in. Randy took his time to teach us more like teach me. His price was very fair, and we felt very welcomed! His dog Alyssa was also there to welcome you and to make you feel at home. I can recommend Randys Brake Repair wholeheartedly! Why go to the dealer and pay big bucks and be treated like a number when you have Randy. We will be taking our other cars there for brake jobs and will tell our friends about him. Thank you Randy for being so kind!

Review №45

The most honest team I have had experience with in the Sarasota automotive community. I bought a snazzy car with snazzy brakes in 2017. After only 30k miles, the dealer determined the brakes & rotors needed replacement. I was shocked, but obedient, not wanting to be unsafe or harmful to my vehicle. $1500/7 months/15k miles later, I was told they needed to be replaced AGAIN! Deciding a second opinion was necessary as I could not keep up this monetary pace, I said, thanks, no thanks and hunted down Randy. He listened to my story, asked the right questions, tracked down appropriate quality parts & estimated that the job would cost 1/3 of what the dealer quoted. THEN after removing the tires and checking out my existing brakes... told me I still had 75% life left in the pads and to come back and see them in at least a year. This time and assessment was at NO CHARGE. I fully intend to return to he and his son, David and give him all my future brake business. They are the real deal.

I called many businesses trying to find someone that could change my brakes on the RV. Randy was quick to accept the job and was extremely knowledgeable over the phone. This was a great first impression. I brought it in within 10 min and they were working to fix it right away. He walked me through every step of the process and was very transparent with all the reasons for every bit of work. He was also honest about what didnt need to be done as well. I have seriously never had an experience like this with auto repair. Completely awesome. It was very impressive to see how they worked together and how quickly the job got done. (2 hours for what most people wanted a week to do). Give these guys a call. You will not be let down. My family thanks you for the safe and quick repair!

Went to Randys to have my brakes done, best experience that I have had in a long time from a repair shop. Randy took my car for a test drive and told me I dont think you need the fronts done, but I will show you when we get back. Sure enough I did not need the front only the back. Randy shows you what he is doing and explains why. Great service and an honest repair man. I highly recommend you come see him. Great prices as well.!!

I searched online for a reliable and fair shop to repair brakes on my original-owner Scion TC. Randy took time to review all the parts and needed repairs with me. I thought I only needed a brake repair, when I left my faith in humanity got a tune-up as well. Randy is as honest and sincere as he is considerate and humorous, and his son is a capable helper. Thank-you both. If you searched here for opinions, I feel honestly and fairly treated and I will not hesitate to return or recommend Randys Brake Repair.

A couple of years ago i stopped by Randys due to a squeal in the brakes. After a test drive and diagnosis, my brakes are fine, its just the type of brakes I have. Randy doesnt even charge me for his time.Fast forward to today. Yesterday afternoon, I call for an appointment and Randy gets me in first thing in the morning today. After reviewing my brakes, he explains and shows the problem. This type of honesty is so refreshing! I hope you see the great reviews for Randys brake repair and should you need a brake job, go see him...you wont be disappointed!

Review №74

This place was recommended and I enjoyed reading all the reviews. Of course he is very polite. However, I have had a few different cars in the past 10 years or so and I have never had to pay what he quoted me for brakes! I was actually overwhelmed at the price, being that my brakes were not yet that bad. I realized he was giving me parts that were well over the basic parts I could by myself at any near by auto part store. So if you dont mind paying more for parts, then this place is for you. But for me, this was way out of my price range. I bought the parts myself and had a friend replace them, still paid labor, and came right on my budget. If you cant afford to invest almost $500.00 on pads and rotors, do some research, find other alternatives. I doubt this review will even be posted, but this is my opinion. I needed brakes at a reasonable price. I didnt need a good talker.

As a Snowbird with my automobile in Sarasota I sourced out the best brake repair shop in Sarasota and found Randy this is an owner operated business hands on charming and honest . He has over 35 years experience and he showed me every step of the way the issue i was having with my brakes . I needed pads,calipers,rotors on four wheels. I sat beside him and observed him try to negotiate the best pricing for parts on my behalf from his suppliers he did a very professional job and I would recommend him to any Snowbird or anyone else in the Sarasota area who needs an honest brake repair man .Thank You Randy

Called Randys after a dealer quoted me way too high on brakes. I looked online to see what local companies got solid reviews and Randys came right up. I called and he got me in immediately and was extremely helpful throughout the process. He explained to me what he would be doing, invited me into the garage to watch, and kept me informed as to what exactly he was doing.Randy went above and beyond to provide the best service that I have ever experienced at an auto shop before. I would absolutely go back here, as I felt he was upfront, honest, direct, and has a genuine passion for his work. There were no hidden surprises and I was pleased with the service and the price.I STRONGLY recommend going to Randys Brake Repair for any service that they are able to perform. Great service.

This is exactly what a car repair shop should be. When I called, Randy answered and set up a time for me to bring my car the following morning. He drove the car to test the brakes, gave me a competitive quote and then started the work on the spot. He also pointed out a noise in the right front wheel which turned out (after a trip to the dealer to diagnose) to be a bad wheel bearing. The next day I was back in Randy’s shop to replace it. Saved a lot of money over dealer pricing and I know I’m dealing with super honest, high quality people. Randy and his son David are the best.

I was referred to Randys Brakes by a friend and have been thrilled to have a shop I can bring my car to and know it will be taken care of right. Randy himself usually answers the phone and is always very pleasant and helpful. He has always, without fail, quoted far below others prices and does top quality work to back it up. Besides doing great work with cheap prices, Randy genuinely is a nice guy who loves his cars! Ive brought cars in on 4 separate occasions and not been let down once! A+!

Im fairly new to the area and after a few recommendations and seeing the online reviews, I took my car to Randys for new brake pads. The reviews were correct. Randy, his crew and his dog have the best customer service skills Ive encountered in the auto repair world. Went for a test drive with him and he showed me everything that needed repair within minutes, with no unexpected surprises. Repairs were done by lunch. I cant recommend them enough from this experience. Will definitely go back.Chris Brock

Was on vacation in the area. Brakes were making bad grinding noise which started on way down to Florida. Called Randy he got me in right away. He drove my truck with me along. When we got back to his shop he showed me everything as he inspected it. He then got all the parts I needed even running after some himself. Fixed my brakes and had me back on the road in no time. Randy and his son David were very friendly and I felt like I was at home in their shop. I would recommend them to anyone in the area. He could of charged me alot more to do the job knowing I was from out of the area but didnt. Im pretty sure I would of had to pay more around home. Great service, great guys.

You know when you are in the presence of a master.When one looks, one finds Zen-like perfection in the strangest places.This man is a master craftsman. My car with 150k miles stops on a dime quietly and smoothly. I have new parts where I needed them and lovingly re-machined parts where I did not. I learned a lot about how cars stop today.Randy is a gentleman, a raconteur, and a guru of brakes.One never can really know these things, but I think I got a good price for the work done. I am satisfied, and in the end what more do you want in a mechanic.I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Review №86

Randys Brake Repair saved my behind, and probably my front bumper and clean driving record. I told Randy right off the bat what I was (and was not) working with financially, what the trucks symptoms were, and how much I could take care of at the moment. He did not hesitate to make an appointment, thoroughly check the truck, then show me right there what was making the noise and trouble stopping. The causes for the problems were easy to see and understand, so there was no room for doubt that the repairs he was suggesting were necessary. That kind of peace of mind when your dollars have to work for you is precious.He was completely transparent about the cost of the parts from the supplier, and sat down with me to figure out what I could afford and when. He worked with me so that I was leaving in a safe vehicle, and as I was able to I came back to get everything up to speed.There was not a moment when I doubted either the need for or cost of repairs because I got to watch the entire process from diagnosis to purchase to repair up front. His service is top-notch and so is his work, as my vehicle is performing beautifully. When the time comes that I need brake work again (which will be a while down the road) I will only be taking my vehicle to Randys.Thanks Guys!!!!!

I needed my brakes repaired. Randy showed me the parts that needed replacement. My front brake pads and rotors needed replacing. He said my rear brakes were good still and that I could wait on those. They were meticulous. He sent back new rotors after installing because they felt wrong when he test drove my car. I know most places would have simply let me go on my merry way. They went the extra mile to ensure quality. Received great quality work at a fair price.

I went to Randys brake shop to get my rear drum brakes and wheel cylinders replaced. Randy is very pleasant and professional and the actual repair cost was less than the estimate over the phone. There were no hidden costs and he did not include any unnecessary repairs. I was able to drop my car off the next day and my car was done before lunch. This is my first time going to Randys brake repairs and I will continue to go here in the future.

After researching the best place in town to have brakes replaced, I decided Randys Brake Repair was the place to go. Upon arrival, I noticed a black Labrador Retriever in the shop and called her over. She greeted me and stayed by my side for several minutes. That made my day right there. I met her owner, Randy, and liked him right away. He shook my hand, thanked me for coming by and immediately he asked me to ride with him as he test drove the vehicle to determine the problem. He showed me exactly what the problem was, advised me of what I needed and then he called parts stores for the best prices on a couple different brake options. After a quick decision, he said the vehicle would be completed in about an hour, which it was. I returned to pick up the vehicle and we again took it for a test drive. Everything worked perfectly and the problem was solved. I cant say enough about my experience there. Randy made me feel like I had been his best customer for years. As a matter of fact, he pointed out a customer who was there and said he had been a customer for something like 30 years! That says it all - great experience, great guy, great job. FIVE STARS!

By far best place Ive been to get my car serviced. Usually when a woman goes into an auto place its extremely uncomfortable and they try to rip you off. But Randy does excellent work with a fair price. Had all four brake pads and rotors replaced. Went from horrible grinding brakes to perfect condition. Ill definitely be going back for future service needs.

Randy drove with me and listened to the problem. He then quickly assessed the need and showed me the condition of both my front and rear brakes. He only recommended what needed to be fixed and then did so quickly. He is trustworthy and well worth recommending to anyone having brake issues.

Ive known Randy for years. Im a single Mom who simply just wants to know the truth about what my car needs, instead of someone going on the run for money, I dont have. He is trustworthy and will let you know how much your looking at before he begins the job. I highly recommend Randy for brakes, ball joints, axels you name it, if its your front end; Randy is the Man for the job! A God fearing Man that can be trusted in all aspects! Thank you Randy for your hard work and dedication to what you do. He even gets me back on the road faster than I always imagine.

Excellent service. One of the brake lines on my 1997 F250 had burst and I needed a new one made. Ford wanted to charge me $170 each for replacement parts, but Randy made them up by hand for $40 within a couple of hours.Fast service and excellent work.

Was on vacation in Sarasota, it became apparent my brakes needed replaced after arriving. I Called Randy on Monday morning at 8, he said come right down, and by 12 PM my brakes were all fixed for a reasonable price. Could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Took us in to the garage to look at the bad brakes, explained and SHOWED us what needed repaired and why. Never had a car repair person do this before. This is the brake shop to go to in Sarasota!

I have now been back to Randys brake repair three times for three different issues and every time him and his son have been great. Like other people have said he goes over all the issues that are wrong and any other issues that you should be aware of. If you need him for brakes, shocks, or cv joints dont go to anyone else but Randy. Him and his son are a amazing to work with. You will be happy with the service, speed and honesty! Plus he has a great dog that is a bonus if your a dog lover.

Randy did a great job on my brakes and was very friendly and educational about what I needed and what I could put off. He took me in and installed while I waited, which took just over an hour. Would defintely recommend! Ill be back for my other 2 brakes soon.

The shop Guarantees No Unnecessary Repairs and No Hidden Costs. We drove in with our front end Banging and Clanking, Randy immediately took our car for a test drive and brought it back to be examined. They checked, inspected and tightened our steering and suspension and fixed the cause. We left twenty minutes later with a hand shake and a smile, No Charge. They stand by their word and its no surprise that theyve been a trusted family business for over thirty years. They will be our go to repair shop from now on.
