My friend’s car broke down and turned out she needed a new battery. Took it here as they had great reviews and were down the street from where her car was. They were able to fit us in same day and fixed it quickly. Really nice guys and they have a dog that greets you upon arrival! Highly recommend.

Last week I had my first experience with Otto Motive. I had concerns about the brakes, foggy headlight lenses and the hydraulic lifters for the rear hatch on my Highlander.Michael, Jason and the mechanics were very professional, friendly and even went the extra mile to contact a headlight lens restorer and scheduled for the work to be done at the shop prior to the brakes being diagnosed. They could have told me I needed all four brakes replaced but after inspection, they recommended just the rear brakes - saving me a couple hundred dollars. But they weren’t done. While test driving for the brakes, the mechanic noticed a slight alignment problem. Jason, the owner, put the Highlander on the lift, noticed a slight toe-in problem - and made the adjustment. Problem fixed!!Sadie, the shop customer relations expert, is a beautiful fox red, yellow lab with a wonderful personality and disposition. Dog lovers should visit Otto Motive just to meet Sadie!I highly recommend Otto Motive. If you’re not totally satisfied, no problem. Just go back to your previous shop or dealer.I support the good, honest, hard working small businessman.

The owner and team offer something slot of others refuse, honesty. Friendly and constantly keeps u updated. And can not forget the office mascot, the most friendliest and welcoming one of all. Their off dog, MAN SHE IS THE BEST PET, ALWAYS seems to greet with warmth.

Im very impressed with the communication, atmosphere, and reliability of the guys at Otto Motive. I am the daughter of a super mechanic who lives in Michigan, so I take hiring a mechanic very seriously. I know that women typically arent respected in these environments but Ottos goes above and beyond with honesty for whats going on and can wait or not.Im from a small town, and I feel like they would treat each person with that small town welcome.

We take all our vehicles to OttoMotive. The entire staff is professional and qualified. Excellent service and trustworthy!!! I wont take my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks Jason, Bodo, Michael and rest of staff.Also, wanted to add that Sovereigns comment on this feed is FABRICATED. Otto Motive has always gone above and beyond to help our family on all our vehicles, but most notably, my son on his vehicles. My son is a young man and doesnt have a ton of cash to pour into vehicle repairs. Otto has always been fair, reasonable and honest, and gave the guidance necessary to fix whats needed. They would never intentionally mislead anyone and if youre not satisfied or theyll resolve the issue immediately. Its just how they are. Great staff up there for sure!!!

I just recently moved back to the Jacksonville area and was concerned about finding a good diesel mechanic for my Duramax. With not sure where to go, I put a post up on Facebook to other Duramax owners and Otto Motive was recommended from someone who has been using them after their new truck warranty was up at the dealership. This person spoke very highly of them and good - honest guys were all I needed to hear! They are very professional and have great customer service! I found my new mechanic :)

Had my car towed here because I had no clue what was wrong with it.The problem was immediately diagnosed and extra care was taken to make sure everything worked perfectly.While it was there, I also had the a/c fixed and now it blows icy cold.Sadie was a huge help, making sure I had a smooth checkout! 😃

Every review here is spot on. I picked up my car today, and was blown away by their service. As honest and high-quality mechanic as you can find.First of all, their price quote over the phone was way lower than that of several other shops. Then, they called to say that some of the repairs were really not needed. They saved me more than $700, and got the job done fast.What a pleasure - I’ll never go elsewhere, and will highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Otto Motive!!

Great service every time! I’ve been taking my car to Otto motive for over a year and I know I can trust them to do a good job, As long as I’m in Jacksonville I’ll be going to them. They are also very nice people and Sadie (the shop pup) is very sweet, I would give another five stars for her alone.

Otto Motive has provided excellent service for multiple vehicles I own including my 1966 Ford Mustang. It is always nerve wracking taking vehicles to have work done, or even simple oil changes, to new places but Otto Motive has proven to be exceptional in service and knowledge.

Review №19

I would recommend OTTO MOTIVE to anyone 10000 times over. These guys are so honest, I took my car in for noise in the rear of my car, they diagnosed as suspension and called me to get the go ahead for the parts $500plus... I said yes, then they ordered parts and still heard the noise and realised it was a latch on my back seat making the noise. So instead of charging me for parts they ordered and all the time they took they just charged me for the oil change I had requested as well. I was blown away with how honest and nice these guys were. I will certainly be using them in the future. Hard to find honest mechanics anymore. These guys are 💯 it.

We just moved back to Jacksonville. This shop is beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful! They took the time to help me understand what was going on with my vehicle, the scenarios that they may find, and made sure that we dont have any surprises with the scenarios that may be found. During conversation, I could tell that the staff direct their customers as though they are friends or family. No pushing to fix every part possible, just the ones that they truly feel need repaired or replaced. Each of the guys seemed truly passionate about what they do, and the cars they were working on. Its so nice to be comfortable with a shop handling my vehicle. We will be using them for a long time!

Great place and highly recommended! This is the type of locally-owned, small town-feel shop that Ive been looking for since I moved to Jax. I stopped by without an appointment and were wonderful about fitting me in, then prioritizing safety above all else. They worked with me to find an affordable solution, and were wonderful about keeping me informed. Ill definitely be back for anything else I need.

I recently moved to the JAX area and was looking to get someone to check out the Kia I recently bought and was having problems with. I came in after work and they got right to work taking care of my car. They also were great in letting me know what was actually going on with my car. My sister has also had a great experience with these guys and we definitely wont be bringing our vehicles anywhere else for anything that they dont do in house.

Review №25

The Otto Motive team did some work on my wifes 10 year old Jeep. In addition to fixing the exhaust issues, they were straight forward, honest, and reasonably priced. They gave me an accurate timeline on when the Jeep would be finished and texted updates throughout the process. Extremely satisfied and will be taking both of our vehicles to Otto Motive in the future.Rob

I’ll never go to anyone else. I drive a 1991 Chevy G20 6.2 Diesel Van, that also happens to be my home. I drove around with the dog box off for two months because every mechanic I brought it to couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It took Jeff at Otto Motive just a few hours to figure out nothing was wrong with the engine, glow plug system or anything of the other array of things that everyone else thought was the cause of my issues. I had my home back the next day.They’re honest, clean, thorough, knowledgeable and LOCAL.

I am very glad I was referred to Otto motive. We have used them twice and they were straight shooters without dollar signs in their eyes. They the spent time and explained what repairs were necessary and what could wait. The owner spent an additional hour talking with me and driving our families minivan on the highway explaining the issues with the heart of teacher. They are a Breath of fresh air and Im thankful I can do refer friends/family to a quality and trustworthy shop. Thanks guys!

I’ve had multiple repairs done by Bodo and the rest of the guys at Otto Motive and they are hands down the best. Mike at the front is knowledge, patient, and understanding! He even gave me a ride home without even asking after I dropped my car off for service. Jason worked on my car and kept me up to date on all the repairs being done. Fair prices and great customer service. Love this place!

Review №39

Full disclosure. I have known Jason for over 20 years.My Mother In-law’s Jeep started to have A/C problems. I suggested for her to go see my Buddy Jason over at Otto Motive. Most of the time I do not recommend my friends to work on any of her projects. Let’s just say she is a picky person who always seems to think she has been taken advantage of or done wrong in some sense. I started to get worried after getting an update from her that the guys could not find the problem with her A/C on the first day. My first thought was geez I funked up, sending her to a friends shop. Then later the next day, my wife informs me with an update:Jason fixed the small A/C issue and went through the entire Jeep. He told her it was good to go for another 30k miles with no worries. She went on to say how much of a professional and nice guy Jason treated her.

These guys are fantastic! Honest, knowledgeable, straight-talking. They dont want to sell you services that you dont need now, theyll keep your car running well and safe. They are quick, too! I had let it get to the point that all 3 of my motor mounts needed replacing, plus a new oxygen sensor - in and out in 1 day. I highly recommend Otto Motive for your car maintenance and repair.

After searching for somebody that gives a good alignment for so long I was referred by a friend to these guys. This car has never had a decent alignment and they gave me the best alignment I could ask for with my setup. Stable at higher highway speeds and feeling confident with the 5k miles I will be putting on this car this week. Thanks guys and I will be back!

I’ve known the owners for a long time and have used them for car repairs for years. Now that they have their own shop, the possibilities for them are endless.

Great service and auto shop. Very knowledgeable and works well to accommodate the customer. I work your standard 8 to 5 job. Can drop off before they open and has a dropbox for keys and notes, then they will call you with an update. Picked up after hours the first time I used them. Second time they worked with me to find best deals parts needed. VERY fast and dependable work. Dropped my car off and was finished next day when I didnt expect to have it back for 2-3 business days. I wasnt even ready to pick it up so they kept it in the shop until the next day for me to get. Staff is awesome.

I was told by my long time mechanic that my Ford F150 had a blown head gasket. My new neighbor is co-owner of Otto Motive and offered to take a look to confirm the diagnosis. Come to find out it did not. After some testing it was determined that it needed a few minor things and now is running better than ever. Honest people.

Friendly and TRUSTWORTHY mechanics. Hard to find a place like that these days. With cars getting more and more complicated, its hard to know if your car really needs what the local mechanic says or if theyre just looking for a bigger bill. They’ll tell you if your car really needs something or if it can wait. Awesome service

I went here because my car was acting up and I thought it had something to do with the brakes but once I got here, Jason, who worked on my car told me that my brakes were practically brand new still. He could have just said nothing and let me pay for a $200+ brake job I didnt need. He also discovered that Discount Tire had three of my tires way out of balance even though they allegedly balanced them a week before. Its very obvious Jason knows what hes doing. Highly Recommend

Review №61

Ive had dozens of vehicles and have visited a lot of different automotive repair shops over the past 30 years and this shop is at the top for customer service, follow-up, and great mechanic work. Timeliness for an automotive shop is critical and they were able to get my Ford F350 in and out with superb quality of work before the deadline I had to go tow something with the truck. Id trust sending my wife or daughter to this shop since Ive seen that they will only do what is needed and dont push things that are not. In my dealings with them they are ethical and great mechanics, two things that are hard to find in an automotive repair shop in Jacksonville or anywhere else. I highly recommend Otto Motive.

Simply put this an A+, 5 star place to come for all your auto needs. I literally could not ask for anything more out of a mechanic shop. From the time I called to make an appointment to the second I picked up my truck, I was taken care of. Everyone I dealt with went the extra mile to make certain everything was 100% taken care of and inspected. This was my first time using them for repairs but it certainly will not be my last.

Review №65

Great customer service! Mike and Jason are honest and super helpful. They won’t tell you you need anything you don’t really need and won’t recommend doing any work that isn’t necessary. That said, if you want to upgrade to performance parts, they will also give the best recommendations for that as well. They really listen to their customers and aacommodate your needs.

I recently took my vehicle to Otto Motive on Philips Hwy for one issue, they informed me of the real causes of my vehicle driving funny. Found the parts I needed and serviced me in 1 day, and charged me a very good price. Theres not a better feeling to drop your car off and be able to pick it up when you get off work. They are very professional and respectful and for that I will return and I advise anyone else that want A1 service to do the same. Also they have Sadie there to keep you entertained while you wait...you will just have to visit to see who Im talking about. Thanks Guys!
