As someone who does most of my own automotive work I am very particular and rarely satisfied with the service or results I receive when I have to hire a shop. The courteous and professional service I received from Mark and the team at Stuart Brake & Auto Repair far exceeded my expectations. Their communication was second to none and they diagnosed and repaired the A/C issue on my vehicle the same day, and the cost was very reasonable. I cant say enough about how pleasant the experience was. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Their service was excellent. They were friendly and knowledgeable and easy to trust. I think Ive finally found a good mechanic shop. I would have given 5 stars but they charged me $19.09 for job supplies on a bill of $259.09 which is way to high but I didnt see it until I got home. The clincher is that there no supplies used. They removed a small circuit board that was causing a draw on the battery. This is a common practice now at all mechanic shops,car dealersEtc. They defend it by saying this pays for rags, screws and other small supplies. At the end of the year these job supply charges add up to many thousands of dollars. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the customer when they dont use any supplies on the job yet charge you more than the sales tax which was $15.59. Everything else was excellent and I like locally owned businesses.
I was referred by a long-time customer when I moved here last week. My experience was good. I like the way they communicate between front office and technicians. There is high experience among the techs and precise explanation of issues. Today was a good service. I’ll follow up again next visit.
Stuart brake and Auto is and honest reliable Auto shop. They are fair and reasonably priced. Theyve never steered me wrong on any work that I needed on my three vehicles. How many auto shops can you say that about?
I had an amazing experience at Stuart Brake & Auto Repair. My daughter came back from college with her air conditioner not working. I went to a couple places to get it checked & estimates. Her car is a Honda & needs special equipment & Freon to repair, luckily they had the special system to repair it. From the moment I spoke with Gary until I picked up the car fixed they were so helpful. Gary even called a Honda dealership to see if the car was still under warranty. Unfortunately it was not and so I authorized them to fix it. They explained everything about what was wrong & what it needed. The price was good, better than anywhere else & I trust them completely that it was done correctly.I have found our new mechanic for all 4 of our cars! I highly recommend them & already have a friend going to see them!
We had a humming sound towards the back and they diagnosed the problem and replaced the rear bearing all the same morning. Everything works great and we have used Them many times now with different vehicles and they always get it done right and professionally. Highly recommended.
Have used them for BMW M5, BMW 335i. and F150. They are the best!
I was able to leave the vehicle a day earlier due to travel plans. The repair done a earlier than expected. Quick and easy.
The entire experience was first rate. I asked two repair shops for estimate for significant 95000 mile services, one responded with come on in and see Joe, hell tell you what you need but Stuart Brake was very professional, sending a 4 page detailed cost estimate - that was impressive.The work was done on time and under the estimate since the brake rotors could be refinished instead of being replace, saving a couple hundred dollars.Gary at the service desk was always accommodating, answering questions and arranging for a rental car and made us feel we had been part of the customer family for years.Finally, the work was done right and the car is running very well.
I decided to give another shop a try, as I felt that my previous shop was overcharging for some of the repairs that were done. These guys did s great job- were quick, efficient, friendly, and very reasonable in what they charged.
My 2001 pickup blew a spark plug out of the head. Had the truck towed to Mark and the crew and in a half day they had the motor fixed and running new again. A quality motor repair using a special tool that implanted a special sleeve back in the head to accept the spark plug for repair. Much better repair than help-coils that some lower quality shops use to repair this type of problem. Down time was minimal and the price was right. Mark and the boys are my go to mechanic shop in Stuart. This is the fourth time I have had a quality repair on one of my vehicles at this shop. They are fantastic!
Mark and Gary and thier team are 1st class. Had tuneup and oil change without any issus. Took me in at the time they said they would and completed job in a hr.
Great service and super thorough. Good communications.
I saw this shop in an online search. They ran a special on A/C check up and refrigerant charge. Made an appointment for 10 am next day. Car was taken in and serviced immediately and I was out the door in 30 mins. No hassle or BS. System was checked and refrigerant added to specs. A/C running smoothly and ice cold. System was low on refrigerant. No leak detected. Good knowledgeable workmanship. Friendly owner and management. I think I found my local mechanic shop.
They are amazing and friendly, they informed me why my check engine light was on for free and did an oil and tire rotation with full synthetic oil for an extremely reasonable price. A lot cheaper than tires plus and I don’t have to worry if I’m being ripped off
I was driving south on FL Turnpike and with a loud clunk my serpentine belt is shredded. I pull off on to I think it was john jack rd. Im stuck an hour south from home and a hour north from my destination. Luckily I called Gary who gave me the number to another Gary with a tow truck 2 hours later im back on the road for a vary fair price.
Perfect. They fixed the problem that another shop would not. My car & I thank you very much & you all will get my buisness from now on. Good, Honest,Experienced service is hard to find now a days. I myself have been in the automotive industry for 40+ years. I know Quality when I see it. Thank You Very Much. R.J.Keller
What a great company. Very professional from the first phone call to the completion of the service. Nick in the office took his time to explain everything in detail, which gave me great confidence with their company. There were no surprises. A big dealership worked on my vehicle and caused more issues than they fixed. These guys fixed everything, no problem. They made it a comfortable experience all the way through. Plus their mechanics are the real deal. Ill definitely be a customer for life. Thanks again for the great work !!!
They were awesome and very reasonable. Mark was very professional and courteous. Def would refer and use them again
Always a pleasure to do business with, fair and honest. They warranty all their work. Had to replace a bad crankshaft position sensor, the new part went bad 3 months later and the repaired and replaced absolutely free with no questions asked. Only car repair place I’ve ever had charge me for less than the original quote. Highly recommend!
They were on time! They did a good job! Very professional💯
Great place! They diagnosed my AC problem and found an error from another shop. Fixed it for a lot less than I thought. Very happy.
Whether its your personal or work vehicle they are very accommodating, fast, very friendly and reasonably priced. Never had a bad experience and highly recommend them!
We have have used these guys three different times two of them major repairs. They are the BEST! Highly recommend Stuart Brake and Auto Repair! Very quality work for a descent price!
This was my second visit to stuart brake and auto repair. Excellent service. I will continue to have my car serviced at this location.
I chose to try Stuart Brake & Auto Repair (after reading their reviews) for an oil change & brake inspection & tire rotation. Im so happy that I did! After not so good experiences at 3 other garages, Ive finally found a place that answered all of my questions (theyre very patient!) & followed through on on repairs & pricing as they had explained. After rear brake cleaning & adjustment (3 previous places couldnt tell me that??) the brake pedal was back to normal & Im a 💯 satisfied customer! Ill be going back!
These guys are honest knowledgeable and fair about the prices.They got my appointment fast and had it completely fixed in a few hours.I highly recommend this place.I was referred by another happy customer.
Stuart Brake and Auto has worked with my family for years. They are super understanding and have always worked with us in every situation. The prices are very reasonable, And they Are very Honest. For any automotive needs, I would recommend them every time.
This is the second experience Ive had with this particular business, I have found them to be very a honest and thorough in their explanation of needed repairs or as in the case of my daughters vehicle no need for repairs. I have already recommended this establishment to numerous friends and family.
Work done fast well and fair, Ill be back
Good Quality..Hometown service..a business you can trust
Found this place online after getting a high quote else where and Stuart Brake and Auto repair was SO helpful. They were so kind and honest with their prices and the services I needed. I will definitely recommend them to others!
They were great. I had to go there by chance but glad I found them. Nick was great, explained things and got everything done in a reasonable time frame. Will go back
We brought my wife’s car in to Stuart Brake and Auto for two problems: the car vibrated at highway speeds and the window washers did not pump fluid. I received the car back asking what I wanted to do about the vibration. The tires were a brand the man calling did not like, he could price out new tires. He said maybe that was the issue. He said it could be alignment, what about balancing, I said. Here I take the car in and he wants me to solve the problem. Of course he charges me for investing the problem. He had no solution. So I told him to balance the tires, rotate them and align the wheels. When I go into a repair shop I expect the mechanic to aid me and make suggestions as to the best way to go.They did solve the washer issue with a new pump but found another problem with the float that they found was not working. They said sometimes it gets clogged and doesn’t work and it should correct in a few weeks. Bring it back if it does not work. They told me this after I arrived to pick it up, after all was completed. I then came back to the shop after several weeks and then they found the sensor electrical was bad. Of course they billed me again for the whole repair. These washer is difficult to get at and cause extra labor when a repair is needed. Luckily, my auto repair paid for both. It’s the idea that when you find a problem check it out. They did change the oil which seems fine but there process is to rotate tires again. Remember I just had this done and the tires did not need to be rotated again. They had looked into my folder in their computer but never checked. The alignment, balancing and rotating to correct the vibration worked, so I told them to rotate the tires back. They did.The worst was yet to come. I told them I was unhappy with their work. They should have checked the rotation of the tires and they should have checked further into the float issue when they found the problem. They disagreed with me. I then told them I was unhappy and would not be back. The man said ok. That was that. He did not care. By the way he told me I would be liable for the cost of the repair if the company did not pay. He already received approval from the company and had communicated with them. It was great they did helped me with the auto repair plan. Through all the discussions the people were friendly and I was nice also.
Hands down the most professional automotive service shop Ive ever dealt with. these guys know what theyre talking about and have no problem explaining it in as much or as little detail as you need. Highly recommend for any automotive service needs.
New to area but was referred by a local. Very fair and quick. It’s good to see honesty and integrity still exists. I would and will recommend them to anyone looking for auto repair.
Nick was awesome! Super friendly and detail oriented. Went above and beyond to help my grandma and me. Kept me in the loop all day so I knew how long service would take.
A place you can completely trust
Repairs were done on time and correctly the final bill was either less or the same as they said it would cost. If the vehicle needed special oil that is what they would use. If there were aftermarket parts they felt were cheaper and as good as the manufacturer parts they will talk to you about using them. Their warranty is also very good and honored across the country at other garages that are part of the organization they are members of
They did an awesome job. Highly professional and would recommend them to anyone .
Great people, Ill be going back for my 100,000 mile tune up. Would highly recommend
I got a quote that my 4 year old Subaru needed a new AC compressor and condenser from a chain place. Shopped around and found this place online with all these great reviews. They took the car in and found the real problem and fixed it quickly. Turns out I did not need either of those parts which would have been very expensive. Its obvious they have built a successful business based on honest suggestions to their customers and not up-selling unnecessary repairs.
Mark and the team just saved me 700 dollars on an a/c repair compared to CadillacThanks for the fast professional service
Excellent service in a timely manner. I will be using these guys again
Thought they were so good, have decided that they will be my go to repair shop going forward... primarily based on my discussion with one of the owners following the work
Stated that it needed a part and ordered it. Part did not work but charged me over 350 for time and diagnostics. Vehicle came out the same way it went in and I was out a lot of money!
A great place . Diagnosed my alternator problem right away and finished in 3 hours. Very nice guys!! No hassle.
The service at Stuart Brake & Auto Repair is incomparable! Everyone there is friendly, understanding, and easy to work with. They took care of the issues with my car super quickly... I came in one day without an appointment and walked away the next afternoon with everything back to normal! Great service with expert knowledge, recommendations, and full transparency. I will definitely use them again if I have any issues in the future.
I have had a wonderful experience with Stuart Brake & Auto Repair. They give me recommendations on the upkeep and maintenance of my car with honesty and allow me to make the best decisions. I truly feel like they have my best interests at heart. I definitely will continue to use them!
I called Stuart Brake and Auto Repair for an oil change and to get estimates to have my brakes done, and a/c fixed. They took me that day due to a cancellation. Turned out the brakes were good, although was told by another shop two months ago that they were going to require replacement in a couple months, and the a/c was just low on Freon. They did the oil, fixed the leak and topped off the Freon, and rotated the tires all for a reasonable fee. Great job and service!
With all the crisis going on, I wanted to support local with my next oil change. Tuesday was my first time coming to this establishment and I will definitely be back. Very courteous staff and good prices!
Great service, knowledgeable and trustworthy.Better service than any Mercedes dealership.
Great service....very knowledgeable and quick turnaround!
Gary was great and everything was done in a professional kind manner.
When you go into their office, you will see the companys belief (and identity) on the top of the wall. I just wanted to implant their faith solidly.
I recently broke down near this facility. I was towed in without an appointment. Everyone was professional, considerate and extremely helpful . They explained what might be the issue with my BMW, ordered the parts repaired it for less than $800. The best experience at a repair shop I have ever had. Thank you . They are def., my new service center.
I was very pleased with the work that was done on my truck. Gary was easy to work with. He was very personable and professional. I feel that the service was well done, on time, and at a fair price. I will continue to use this shop for my future repairs,
This is an excellent place. I have been going there with my cars for 15 years!
I had a great experience with Gary and Mark. Even though I got bad news about my old vehicle, they helped me figure out how best to deal with the repair and answered all my questions and made really helpful recommendations.I will be back with my other vehicle soon to replace my brake pads and resurface the rotors.Great pricing, expert advice, and the friendliest service in town. Great job ! I highly recommend Stuart Brake & Auto !
Wow I love Stuart Brake. I’m a new customer. I searched for a trustworthy mechanic after getting screwed over by the mechanic my mom has always used since I was in high school. Stuart Brake treated me so kindly the first visit and every visit after. My husband even said to me “wow those guys are so nice”. I recommend Stuart Brake because I love how they do the initial analysis of your vehicle and email it to you. It even shows the “health” of the vehicle on a scale with a red, yellow or green score. Then you’re told what needs to be fixed “immediately” and what can wait. I’m all about details! And I love when a company completely informs their customers. Thank you Stuart brake!! I’m sure I’ll see you guys again sometime soon lol.
These guys are open and honest. Crystal clear pricing and customer service like you’re family. They will give you their professional advice with zero pressure. Safety is very important to me, for my family and I only take my truck to Stuart Brake & Auto Repair.
I have been using them for years and have never been disappointed! Always great service and a fair price, I highly recommend for auto repairs
Needed a flat fixed. Was done while I waited. Very convenient. Very professional.
Great service. Have used them before and will use them again
Great service by expert technicians as always. Honest dependable service by a family owned business. Highly recommend.
These guys go above and beyond. That is such a rare thing it feels like today. Very friendly to understanding what the customer needs. They point you in the right direction. Prices are reasonable, Looking forward to doing more business in the future.
Stuart Brake, diagnosed my engine problem quickly and had my car fixed in the same day. Great service!
Have been going to Stuart Brake for 25yrs and wouldnt go anywhere else! Honest,friendly & reasonably priced service. I trust them whole heartedly.
I have used Stuart Brake & Auto for years and have always been provided reliable and consistent service that keeps me coming back.
Had a complete brake job performed recently on two vehicles as well as some minor maintenance items. These guys are good, very professional and prices are well under the respective dealerships. Brake repairs carry a two year warranty as well.Good repair shop with fair prices...we’ll continue to use them for all our automotive needs. Thank You Stuart Brake & Auto.
Mark and his staff went over all aspects of my service. From start to finish, they kept me informed of all the work going on. There were no hidden surprises or costs. All issues were correctly addressed and they will be my go to shop for all my automotive needs. Thanks again Mark.
They took on a job that many shops turned down and had it done right on time and was above and beyond what I expected if I need anything else worked on thats where Im going and recommend you do tooo!!!!!
I know Mark since 6years, he does a Wonderful JOB, Very Professional, very upfront, he explains in detail what your car needs to be done, and, helps all the way. Job is always done on time. I Extremely Recommend Stuart Auto Brake, they are the Best in Town.
I highly recommend the guys over at Stuart Brake and Auto Repair! They are very professional and always have my car ready when promised. They do excellent work on my car every time. The mechanics pay attention to detail and make sure my car is kept clean inside the entire time by putting a protective blanket in the car when driving it. It is a nice touch. They also have reasonable prices to go along with the quality work.
All the lights on on my panel on a Sienna Toyota. They ordered the part after diagnostics and it did not work. Then said it would cost too much to repair. Almost 400 later I walked out the same way I walked in. They returned the part so the charge was all labor. I have used before and very happy. I walked out disappointed!
Always a pleasure,, honest and reliable.
I shopped around and contacted Stuart Brake to have front and rear struts installed on my 2003 Avalon. Mark was very pleasant and efficient emailed me an estimate that was very reasonable compared to other quotes previously received. I scheduled an appointment the following week and Mark advised me he was not in but Gary would be my service representative. On arrival Gary covered the seat and floor prior to the work and called me that afternoon to say all was completed. It’s now couple of months later I can say this car my wife purchased new hugs the road and curves as if it was just driven out of the showroom . The customer relations,, expertise of the mechanics along with the price comparison has made me a very happy new customer thanks to all .
Rear differential work.
Great guys! Very honest and always great work.
Great guys with superior knowledge...Honest and dependable
The best thing about Stuart Brake and Auto is that they are in constant communication with you. My car is older and don’t want to spend tons of money on it and they gave me progress reports through the day
Stuart Brake and Auto are great. My 2007 Silverado had an emergency brake issue. Gary (the owner) advised me that given the age and condition of the vehicle, fixing it may uncover more problems and that would get expensive. I really appreciated his candor. I definitely recommend this business.
I’ve been going to Stuart Brake and Auto Repair since we relocated to the area and they’ve been great.They’re thorough, professional and take the time to fully explain the repair or service.I’d recommend them to anyone seeking a pro shopVince R
The service has always been excellent. Ive been using Stuart Brake and Auto for five years now and trust there work on my vehicles. They have also been responsible in how much they charged for the service. Thats extremely important to me.
Very professional service, good value
I acquired a, new to me, vehicle recently and took it to stuart brake for an evaluation, since it had several leaks. mark, randy and the rest of the staff are excellent. very knowledgeable and clearly communicated, with estimates, what needed to be done. radiator, valve cover gasket, brakes, tires. work was completed as planned and i am very satisfied. i plan to bring it back to stuart brake each year for the annual oil change and inspection. thanks.
Best place in town. Great service, friendly. A satisfied customer. Always satisfied
Explained service precisely and followed what was discussed
Great neighborhood business with a knowledgeable and certified staff.I highly recommend them for your tire and mechanical needs.A+++++
Wow. I asked about a pre-purchase inspection on a car today. I called him because he is located favorably and has a 4.9 customer rating with 134 reviews. I asked him some questions because I do not buy cars often and I wanted to know what he provided and if I had options for the level of inspection. I explained this to him and his response was In the 45 years Ive been in this business, Ive never had anyone ask me these questions. I dont want to get involved with that or anything you are talking about. And because of that hes suspicious. I asked him why and said again I was just asking him some questions to find out my options. And he still said he didnt want to do it.Im not sure what he was so afraid of but it was very unprofessional and unkind.I ended up getting angry and telling him I was going to write a bad review and he hung up. My bad.I need another car because the one I have right now is almost undrivable. I dont have a lot of money and I try to do what I can to make sure a purchase like this is going to not be an expensive regret. I dont have anyone else to fall back on. But for some reason, he interpreted my diligence with suspicion and selfishness and cut me off as soon as I started asking questions. I think it was probably better that we didnt do business in the first place and perhaps I should be grateful I missed a potentially poor transaction given that my expectations are for openness and accountability.
In my whole life I have never had a better car repair experience than I did at Stuart Brake! They are so honest, knowledgeable, and great at explaining the services needed for the vehicle. Gary was excellent at patiently explaining my car’s needs (a 20 year old car) to me in a way I could understand. He was also excellent at getting back to me right away. I was treated like family here and I will recommend this shop to all my friends and family.
Found my preferred local mechanic. Mark and Gary are honest, punctual, and my car is running like new. Thank you guys for a great experience and I hope I dont have to see you too soon LOL.
This was my second time taking my Kia Sorento to Stuart brake & Auto repair, quick service, Gary noticed things that I didnt notice and he got it fixed the same day, Im very pleased with the service they provide.
Friendly, honest service. The only place in Stuart to service my cars.
Have a 2000 caddy that needed a AC boost.They gave me an appointment the same day and I had a coupon so the cost was less than other places. They seemed honest and did not try to get me to do other repairs. AC working well. I would use again. Mechanic came in from service area and spoke to me about repair.
We are very satisfied with the work/ service we received on our Kia Sole!The staff are very friendly & the work area was neat & orderly as much as a garage can be.Definitely will use them again 👍🏻😊
Brought my truck in and from opening the door to fixing my truck the experience was the best I have ever had. Text messages that included diagrams followed up by phone calls made me feel confident that they knew my issue. Highly recommend this shop for honest repairs!
This was a whole new experience dealing with a automobile repair shop. They are the most professional shop I have ever bought my car to. They found the problems gave me a very good price and had the car ready when promised. All in all a great place to take my cars and I definitely will be back.
I just recently had my vehicle serviced here. Gary, the service writer, made the process so simple with a texting option that put perfect communication using my phone. The mechanic was very thorough and truly cares about what he does, between the two of them my vehicle sounds and runs smoother than it ever has. My hat goes off to both the mechanic and the service writer youve got my business for good.
As the owner / operator of a small mobile based business, my vehicle is my livelihood. For over a 15 years Mark and Randy at Stuart Brake and Auto have taken care of my vehicles promptly courteously and with a view towards affordability for me. They always find a way to minimize my downtime and get me back on the road asap. Randy is so intuitive, he makes leaps thay get to the root of tricky issues that other mechanics missed. I highly recommend them for their skills and honesty. Thank you guys youre awesome!
