After having been to many mechanics in my long life I must say that this company is THE best, that I have EVER experienced.Matt and Dave are honest, reliable, trustworthy and even personable!Plus their prices are measurably lower than anyone!I brought my car in the morning... they had it ready in no time but let me pick it up when it was convenient for me.I would highly! recommend them to anyone and will Never go anywhere else to have my care repaired! Thank you Matt and Dave!

My truck was sputtering and acting crazy, I called Arnst Automotive a very nice and sweet woman answered the phone she helped with scheduling and discussed everything accordingly. Dropped my truck off and I got a phone call the next morning, he gave me a couple of different options to fix my truck. I agreed and he performed the work. Picked up the truck with no problems, fast and quick service. TRUCK RUNS GREAT! There are a bunch of shady garages and automotive places in Delray Beach.I first hand know this because I have multiple vehicles. I’d recommend Arnst Automotive to anybody who wants a reliable and trustworthy service.

Saw a recommendation for them on BB Raw and called them to check out our new-to-us 02 T-Bird.My first interaction with their business was w/Becky - shes terrific! Told her we were looking for a shop that we could trust and wouldnt require a 2nd mortgage on our house. She immediately made me feel comfortable and that we were in the right spot.When we arrived, Matt and his Dad (theyre hilarious! ) gave us great info and tips about historical quirks with the car in general and they clearly LOVE cars. The classics in the bays are beautiful!After checking her out, Matt advised shes in good shape and well likely need break pads when we get the oil changed, see ya next time. Didnt see that coming! We have found a new mechanic!Thank you all so very much!!

I was surprised by this place.. Matt, who took care of my issues is a pleasure to do business with and his father is great. The service was done on time and with care, I am a car fanatic, had my brakes/rotors replaced.. no scratches, no nicks on wheels.. and the car drove great.. I dont think I will ever return to the dealer. These guys have my trust and business. Thank you guys!

The owners and mechanics are polite and exceptionally knowledgeable. Their work is outstanding, but perhaps the best thing about them us their ability to correctly diagnose issues, potentially saving literally thousands. Great shop in every way. Thank you for being there.

It’s very important for me to always have a reputable repair shop near my home. Arnst is that shop in Delray for me. They are 1000% fair and have helped me with quality work in a pinch more times than I can count.

Friendly and professional service. This is a full auto mechanic shop that has no limitations from what I have seen. They are extremely prompt with communication and timely with all work that they have done for our company fleet as well as for our personal vehicles. Do not waste your time going to a dealership. Arnst Ocean Automotive services all foreign and domestic vehicles with ease. They are very honest and I trust any information given by them with the utmost confidence. I would strongly recommend Arnst Ocean Automotive to anyone needing a shop with a team that is competent and trustworthy.

Thought I needed new brakes. Brought my car here and they said it may be the calipers. Matt called me within a few hours and said I just needed brake fluid and topped it off free of charge! His honesty definitely earned my business for life. Thanks again!

This place is awesome, I thought something was wrong with my car and Matt called to tell me within three hours of dropping it off that nothing was wrong. Most places take advantage of situations like this but not Arnst Ocean Automotive! Thank you, I look forward to coming here with all my other auto needs.

Its very rare these days to find a shop that can work on everything but these guys seem to know something about everything that comes through the door! Great customer service and attention to detail can be expected on any visit. These guys have preserved the meaning of a family owned shop that you can feel as they are going the extra mile in addressing any wants or needs you have with your car/truck! Thank You Arnst Ocean Automotive for many years of great service and always getting things right the first time! You are greatly appreciated always highly recommended!

Arnst is the best! They are family owned and operated and have been in business over 30 years. Our family all brings our vehicles here. They are very communicative when your car is at their shop and always help you make the best decision. They are friendly and affordable, definitely recommend.

Outstanding service!! Previously I would go to my dealership (Schumacher Dodge Delray) trying to do the right thing which ended up in a nightmare situation. I found Arnst Ocean Automotive & I am so happy I did. They are knowledgeable, fast service, prices are affordable, & they are friendly. I highly recommend them. Its also a bonus they are a family owned & operated business.

If I could give 10 stars I would! David and crew were so helpful from start to finish during our car problems that started 45 minutes from their shop as we were traveling from Georgia. They even stayed later to get the job done and experienced a set back and worked with our warranty without any qualms. We had to have our car by Saturday morning and they got the work done Friday night. I’d recommend this place to anyone!!!

When last at my cars dealership for a routine oil change and check, I was told new brakes are needed all around. I wanted a 2nd opinion.From the first phone call to my visit to Arnst, they couldnt have been more professional. I was greeted by name, my car taken and inspected promptly, and low and behold, no brakes needed for at least 5K more miles! HONESTY like this - amazing! Ill be going to Arnst for anything my car needs now and in the future. Thank you for you professionalism.

I used to take my cars to those local retail tire shops for automotive work, but I got tired of recommendations for services I didnt need. Arnst Ocean Automotive has always given me an honest assessment of my vehicle and a fair price to fix it. Dave and Matt are true professionals you can trust. Great guys. Great service. I highly recommend them.

For 20 years, I owned Toyotas and went to Delray Toyota for my service. I had a great experience throughout (okay, there was that one time about car speakers, but thats a one-off).I switched to a Subaru a few years ago and, while the service wasnt bad, it just wasnt personable. So, I began looking once my warranty period expired.A neighbor raved about this place and so, here I came. Nothing fancy, just regular service.First thing that hit me was that they were talking to me. I wasnt just a car needing work, I was a person. So, we were off to a great start.Then, it was no-nonsense. Heres how we operate and were only here to fix what needs fixing. Good. Start off with trust and you get my loyalty back.Finally, the work was finished while I waited. I didnt get to read much of the book I brought because they talked a lot. Of course, I talk a lot (as you can see by this long review), so thats on me.Bottom line, quick, competent service from friendly people. I didnt even mind that its a bit of a drive for me, since theyre just a hop, skip and a jump from my favorite fresh market, The Boys. Bonus for me!

Arnst Ocean Automotive has saved the day for me quite a few times now on my 1966 Mustang. Whether you have a classic car or a modern car I highly recommend this shop. They are upfront and honest and they are completely transparent with the work that is needed and the price to get the job done.

After my BMW 750 was layed up for several extra days at another shop I called this shop. I was greeted with professionalism and courtesy from Matthew, one of the mechanics there. Matthew told me to get the car to him as soon as possible. Needless to say these guys especially Matt had my car fixed and ready before scheduled. This place is by far one of the best shops Ive taken my car to. Very clean shop, experienced mechanics and people who went the extra mile. Thanks Arnst Ocean.

Thru no fault of their own a faulty o-ring was used on my drain plug. As a result, after an oil change my Tacoma was leaking oil. They took my truck in immediately, replaced the faulty part, and even provided a chemical to clean the oil leak from my driveway. Every business has issues. The litmus test is how they respond

They did a great job servicing my car at a fair price. However, the tow truck they called for me was a little unprofessional. He didnt need to tow my car because we got the shifter unstuck which took under 30 seconds but charged me $45 just for coming out there and wasting his time, which was disappointing considering I had told the driver that it probably doesnt need to be towed and he told me it was fine he would come out anyways to see if he could get it unstuck. He never mentioned that he would charge me either way, or else I would have just had my dad drive out to get my shifter unstuck.The auto shop shouldnt be held responsible for that though. They did a great job

These guys are the best. Always professional always on time always HONEST.If there is no issue they will tell you. Not make believe they fix something when its not broken.If there is something wrong they are prompt and fair in price.I bring my 2001 f150 in to them when ever I have an issue. And they always take care of me and my wife.Side note. They always have super cool cars in the the shop. Cool to look at a old Lincoln Continental. Or an REO Speed Wagon. So cool.Thanks Mat and Dave.
