They worked on my bosses van and they did a phenomenal job!! Very pleasant woman in the office as well. I highly recommend this place.
Awesome Coustomer service. Great prices and quality work. Just slow or overwhelming busy. Taking a week to look at a transmission before even repairs are started. In my opinion is slow. I had the transmission rebuilt and back to me in this amount of time.
We are from Cincinnati, Ohio and had Hometown Auto Service repair our car! They were very professional, through and affordable! Thank you for your wonderful, hard work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Super helpful. Quality work, and very reasonable price. I drove in during bike week and had a transmission line fail on the freeway 30 minutes outside of town. Pouring fluid to the point there was almost none left and the transmission struggling to move the car at even a moderate pace. I am a mechanic by trade, but being 4 hours from home with no resources to fix the problem myself I was in desperate need of a shop to help. Google lead me to Hometown Auto. I called up Friday morning to see if they had any time to inspect the problem. I was recommended to drop the truck off and they would get a look at it that afternoon. After lunch I received a call with a diagnosis and a quote for the repair cost. They were upfront with their prices, which were very reasonable, and had the problem sorted out by the end of the day. The folks at Hometown Auto did it right. Thanks to them. I was back on the road that night, and rolled home without any issue.
Gteat transmission shop very out going, great service,
Took me in as an emergency and repaired my Sunshine quickly. A little pricey for labor but I guess thats to be expected.
I’m from out of town and blew a transmission line. Joe fixed it within a few hours, before the repair he explained what had happened and his plan to fix it. Sarah the office manager was on point! If you need something repaired this is the place to get it done!
Service was completed earlier than expected. Knowledgeable and reliable quality work?
Great guy very knowledgeable in the automotive field use to work at my families shop stans transmission when we closed he started up hometown doing great joe🤠
After spending fortune$ and DAYS at the dealership, Joe diagnosed, communicated and repaired my transmission problem in an hour. Heavy duty Ram 2500, and now running like new. Thank you for your quick appointment, quality service and affordability.
Honest & knowledgeable! Experienced & reasonable! The place to go! My Jeep has been maintained here its whole life, has 180,000 miles & still going strong!!
Needed a transmission filter change and pan gasket - and wanted a power flush. From the time I called to get a quote, I got the feeling Joe (owner) cares about giving his customers more than just a transaction. He knew my transmission model number by memory and told me all the common fail points during a typical 60k service. He spent time explaining to me why I did NOT need to do a full flush, which reduces his revenue. It is true what the reviews say - Joe is honest, honest honest. During the service, he showed me the dropped pan and walked me through every part of the process. He really cares about his work, and knows how to do it. GO here for honest feedback and work on your car!
Knowledgeable, courteous. First visit. They replaced leaking right front axle seal and completed transmission service. Very satisfied, I will use this business again.
This place is great!! I cant recommend them enough. Its very hard to find a good auto service shop when you move into a new area and Hometown was recommended to me by a friend. I knew I had to have some everyday maintenance done to my car, a small problem looked in to and hopefully fixed and some questions answered so I decided to make the appointment. Stephanie explains everything, gives you options and recommendations. They did everything I asked and more for a very reasonable price. Made notes about my car so they can refer back to them and keep track of things to watch out for. It was a pleasure having my car serviced at Hometown and I shall be going back there for them to take care of my car from now on. Very Highly Recommended.....!!!
If youre looking for a knowledgeable honest mechanic these guys are AWESOME!!! They are car geniuses! And Stephanie in the front office is so nice, friendly and down to earth. I had a car getting repaired and decided to just trade in for a new one and these guys went ahead and fixed everything that was causing problems and only charged me for the one thing I wanted fixed. So AWESOME! Took my sons car there got it repaired A++ and the car got a scratch on a new bumper we just had painted and these guys paid another shop to repair and repaint the bumper damage. Wow!! They are the nicest people I love these guys!! They got a customer forever !! A++++
Wonderful experience working with the owner Joe Ventura! Took my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 in for transmission work along with some other issues. Everything was taken care of and explained thoroughly. Excellent customer service, friendly, and fair prices. Joe warranties his work and job is done right the first time. Stephanie at front desk is very friendly and easy to work with. I will be a life long customer. Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle to Hometown Transmission and Auto Service. Cant say enough good things about Joe and his staff.
Best car service in town. Joe the owner is the most knowledgeable auto repair specialist I’ve ever come across. If you want a honest reliable job this the place to bring your car for all service.
Joe is great. He is the most honest straight forward mechanic Ive ever dealt with. Gives thorough explanation of your cars issue. Fair pricing.
This place is terrific!! Absolutely honest & professional with no sales pitch or pressure. Just excellent work with a good attitude. From the onsite owner to the service techs to the office staff - all were pleasant & knowledgeable. And reasonably priced! Good service at a good price - what more can you ask!!
I will not take my vehicles to anyone else. Joe explains everything. EVERYTHING. He is incredibly honest about all work done to my jeep and 4 runner. Stephanie is always awesome and helps me any way she can. His prices are very reasonable and I always feel like I matter as a customer. I always share his info with my friends!
Joe and his staff are so knowledgeable you dont need to look anywhere else ! Fair pricing for quality work.
Honest as the day is Long. This is the best repair place in the region. The price of repair is always up front and you pay for whats needed. Never trying to upsell on things to pad the estimate. highly recommend. I just moved here and this is the first place that I called and so glad I did.
Came down for vacation went to grab some lunch and my car started acting up. After visiting several auto repair shops I was directed to Hometown Auto services. Upon entering there establishment I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile. Despite an absolutely booked schedule they quickly diagnosed my issue and squeezed me in when others around couldn’t. I was not pushed to purchase more than I needed or up sold on pats or services. Saved us from a potential vacation disaster... I would highly recommend them to family friends, or anyone!!!
Recently, my Ford Explorer broke down completely with a blown head gasket and engine failure. Hometown Auto was able to quickly and effectively repair this major overhaul (including a transmission repair) in a weeks time. Throughout the entire process, the staff were professional, realistic, and showed that they really cared for the work they did. They ensured that I was getting the product I payed for by double-checking every nut and bolt, with high attention-to-detail. I would highly recommend Hometown Auto to anyone in need of car maintenance or repairs.
Can not state enough on how well Iwas treated as a customer by this company. Excellent communication, service and pricing. Probably best car repair service i have experienced in this area by far. Special thanks to Joe who really took the time to deal with my questions, his patience and knowledge fixing a previous persons shabby work was truly above and beyond what you would expect. If your tired of getting ripped off or getting poor results on work done on your vehicle I highly recommend trying Hometown.
I drive a 2012 Mazda and am so happy when I leave their shop because I know they are very honest and do reliable work. Also the PRICE IS RIGHT. Ive taken my car in there when an oil change shop told me I needed something and Stephanie and Joe would dispute that. They have saved me money. What kind of shop does that? Another fact about them is that they will get your car very quickly. Ive never had to wait long.I wish I would have met Stephanie and Joe at Hometown Automotive a long time ago. Ive wasted so much money trouble shooting things before I found this wonderful shop. Thank you!!!!!!!!Cheryl R
If you are in need of an experienced and honest mechanic, I highly recomend Joe and the whole team at Hometown. Had many questions and concerns about a car i had recently purchased. Stephanie took all the time necessary to explain it all and made sure all my concerns where put to ease. Great customer service combined with knowledgable and honest mechanics makes this the go to place if you need some answers about your auto issues. I was in a position with this new (to me) car that it would have been easy to take advantage but they treated me like a loyal and longtime customer right from the get go. Thank you again Stephanie and Joe!
Highly recommend this shop. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. They have treated me well and have a customer for life.
This is the best place to get your car fixed. Reasonable prices! Stephanie is the best!
Could not recommend more. Our Chevy Astrovan broke down while on our 16 hour drive home, the day before New Years. After reading Hometown’s reviews - we decided to bring the van in and we are so thankful we did. We were initially told they wouldn’t be able to even look at the car until noon, but our van was completely fixed and ready to hit the road by 12:30pm. We are SO thankful for their diligent, honest, fast, and fair work, on a holiday no less. THANK YOU Hometown Auto!!! Because of you we were able to get home to our family in time for the Holiday!
MY TIRE PRESSURE ALARM WENT OFF THIS AM. I HAD NO CASH IN MY POCKET. PULLED INTO HONEST 1,AND ASKED FOR HELP. THEY TOLD ME TO GO AROUND AND ASK ONE OF THE TECHS FOR HELP......NO ONE EVEN SPOKE TO ME. I WENT OVER TO HOMETOWN AND THEY WERE BUSY. BUT THEY TOOK TIME TO HELP ME . WOW! I THINK I FOUND MY NEW CAR SERVICE STORE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME CATHI R,,,,,,,,I WISH I COULD GIVE 50 STARS! THANKS AGAIN
What I love about this place is the vibe that I am not just a dollar sign. They take care of you like you are family! Best service and very knowledgeable! I would give 10 stars!
Joe is honest, trustworthy and an all around nice person. Would not bring my car to anyone else.
Friendly and very honest; been going there for many years. I recommend very highly; above all others.Rick
Joe and Stephanie make a great team. They have worked on my companys vehicles, personal and my 67 Firebird. The work is professional, clean and on time. I am so glad to have a place I can trust with my cars in my community.
I have 2005 ram 3/4 ton. I am avid user of amsoil products. Hometown auto service carries and will service with this product. This truck has been on amsoil since the 1st oil change now with 225000 miles. The trans was rebuilt in 2016 at 175000 miles and amsoil was used. Just did a trans service at 225000 and everything is good. I was looking at transmission performance upgrades on a 48re Joe advised it wasnt necessary unless I was going to do a total rebuild to make all upgrades work together.. He could have just done what I requested and charged me for it. He didnt, I call that HONESTY. Not much of that around these days.
I had brought my 2008 535i BMW to Joe about 3 weeks ago. I called Joe on a Friday and explained that my car is in the shop some where else and AAA was going to charge me if i bring it home and then to his shop. I was referred by a BMW mechanic that i used. Mind you it was on a Friday, from Kissimmee to Daytona . I told Joe it will be after 5. Joe was very nice and told me to have the driver put the car in the front. I asked Joe if he can take a look at the vehicle in three weeks. Joe was short handed and he still said OK. I would refer any and every body to go see Joe for repair. His staff are the best....Thanks JOE
The nicest and most honest mechanic and staff you will find. Great communication and work! 5 Stars!
Joe and Stephanie are knowledgeable, experienced, honest, and fair. I took my car to them, thinking that it might be time for new front brakes. Imagine my surprise when I received a call from Stephanie, telling me that the brakes are just fine! They were recommended to me by two people, and I am so pleased.
I drive from Palm Coast to have my trans looked at because I was hearing good things about hometown auto way out here.I met the owner Joe who diagnosed my problem and explained everything in a way that someone with no knowledge about cars could understand.Quoted me a very fair price on the work needed,with a week turnaround.Everyone that works there was very friendly and professional.Stephannie(I believe was her name)at the front desk was great and vey friendly.when I get my truck back Ill update the finished work.Thanks hometown auto.UPDATE,got my truck back yesterday and its running great,could not have asked for more,thanks again hometown auto.
Best full-service automotive shop in town
They are trust worthy and do quality work. I highly recommend them.
I am sooo glad I found joe and Stephanie! I have brought my vehicle here several times and had a wonderful experience each time. I not only appreciate their expertise but also the fact that I can trust them!
Best mechanic in Daytona Beach. Joe is honest and will always do what’s best for you. That’s hard to find nowadays.
Great place drove my family in from Minnesota and ran into a front right Hub issue. Looked at local reviews in the area and found this place. So I took it in and Stephanie said said she could get me back on my vacation and I had it back later that day. Look no further this is your place.
Good team that works there
Hometown Auto is very good my husband and I broke down close to closing time and Stephanie was very nice and understanding and arranged a tow truck to come get us. We got our car back the very next day with reasonable prices paid . Thank You
Great work
After going to 2 different places to get my transmission checked and fixed I was getting a little frustrated. The 1st place a national chain took about 4 hours trouble shooting and could not figure out the problem. (they did not charge me though the way I was treated will probably not go back there) The 2nd place was a local Daytona transmission shop, they only took about an hour to tell me they could not find the problem but could replace the transmission for about $2,000.00. I searched the internet and found almost all good reviews on Hometown Auto. I called, made an appointment went there and was informed that I had a bad cluster box in the dash. (that was what he told me before trouble shooting he thought it might be) Made another appointment after the part came in, got it replaced and the problem was fixed. Total cost was $361.90, a lot less than what I would have paid for a rebuilt transmission and would have still had the problem.
Excellent service Accurate. Concise estimates
This shop is a Volvo specialist. Recently my wife was in Daytona on business and her 93 Volvo C70 began running very rough. She met with Rick Sevecech at the shop and he diagnosed that an ignition coil was bad and offered to repair the car for under $150. AND HERES THE KICKER: He had the repair completed within an hour.Thanks for great service at a great price!
I strongly recommend Joe Ventura and Hometown Auto. Heres my story...I initially took my Dodge Durango to Daytona Dodge because my headlight was out. They charged me $150.00 and told me I needed an entire headlamp assembly for another $1,300.00. I then took my vehicle to Joe Ventura at Hometown Auto for a second opinion. Joe determined it was only the headlight and fixed it for less than $400.00. The light bulb itself cost $270.00 at the dealership so Joe only charged around $100.00 for all of his time. Joe saved me from getting ripped off for $1,300.00. Hes an honest, great mechanic.
Brought my car there last week I thought the transmission was acting up. They did a great job repairing it and my car is running great now thanks Joe...
The worst place! Had my sons car towed there in early July, only for it to sit there until last Friday August 25th, 2017 with an absurd diagnosis. When I called in early July to ask if they did work on the type of vehicle I had, they said yes, I told him what my issues were and he said I could have it towed there no problem. I told him I was not in a rush but I never expected it to sit there for over a month only to be put off week after week with no answer on what was wrong with my vehicle. Finally when they did get back to me, they said flat out it needed a new transmission and a plethora of other things. Over $5000 worth of work according to them needed to be done. I couldnt pour over 5k into a car that wasnt worth that so I wanted to get a second opinion. I cant tell you how glad I am that I got it towed to another Reliable, Honest Auto repair shop in Ormond Beach. I had it towed there Friday the 25th of August and by yesterday (Monday the 28th) they called me to tell me the car was DRIVING JUST FINE and they couldnt get it to act up the way I had described! I am utterly disappointed that Hometown Auto would try and get $5000 from a hard working honest American family like mine who just needed an honest diagnosis to get my sons very first car safe to drive to school everyday in port orange. Please dont go here if you need an honest diagnosis. Youll save yourself thousands or at least I did!Update: immediately following my honest review, the owner and mechanic Joe called me to explain what happened with my experience while my vehicle was there at his shop. Unfortunately poor communication is to blame for my unpleasant experience. Joe is a man of integrity and wanted to redeem himself by refunding my diag fee and allowing me to give him the opportunity to work on my vehicle. I have already placed my vehicle in the hands of another place I feel comfortable with repairing my sons vehicle . I wish things had gone differently because Joe seems to be a capable individual. Ultimately he was recommended to me by someone I trust in the Automotive industry, which is why I went to him. I did my research and saw all the glowing reviews about his service, unfortunately for me I did not get to experience what most have in the way of service with him. Thats exactly what happened today.
Stephanie in the office knows more about cars than most mechanics. Joe Ventura (owner) is top notch. I live in Ormond Beach and pass dozens of shops to go South Daytona. I highly Recommend them!
Excellent service and honest felt very comfortable as a women walking into a repair shop.. Thank you Joe Ventura
