Needed my brakes done today and Chuck said no problem. I live close and was picked up and dropped off. Explained everything in context and by far the best prices around. The work is top notch. I found my forever mechanic! Highly recommended. ( He has pretty cool motorcycles tooπŸ‘Œ)

My first time coming here, needed to have my brake pads changed. They were able to book me on short notice for a Saturday appointment and had my car done quick so I could still use it that day! They were very nice and charged me a good price. Great local mechanic!

It sure is a great feeling to be excited to drive your vehicles because theyre running great! Thanks so much Chuck for helping me with that! Our truck, AKA my Sunny boy, Nissan Frontier, is a brand new man! Lol Also, our Autobot, Dodge Caliber, is so much better than its been in years! Thanks for doing the serpentine belt and making the air conditioner work so great! You rock!

Driving from NY to FL. During the drive the check engine light came on. When we called Hoover, the owner was extremely timely and got us in right away. As soon as we pulled in they started working on the car and fixed the problem. Very grateful for the guys there. Would highly suggest esp if you’re from out of the state and are worried to see someone outside of your regular mechanic.

Honest! Honest! Honest! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable local mechanic that will take excellent care of you and always do right by you and your vehicle, look no further - I’d be on the side of the road without their top notch work!! Thank you so much Chuck and everyone at Hoover & Sons!

Im a car guy, and I performing all repairs myself, unless I need a lift, or Im just lazy to do something. Most of the places I seen, trying to rip you off, telling you some nonsense. They just assume that you do not understanding what they are talking about. Well, I do.However, at this place, I didnt show what I know and what I dont, and the owner gave me perfectly fair information and price. Places like this, should be #1 in your list. Since my first visit, Ill go only here, whatever Ill need, because they have a skill, they are many times awarded by car manufacturers, and they prefer to have a loyal customers for many years, instead of one time rip off as everybody else. Just go there, and let them do all you need.P.S.: Ill bring you my Z soon, to replace my trans. cooler fittings. Thanks for finding this issue on time!

My wife went today and she said she had a very pleasant experience. I was at work so unfortunately I couldnt go with her, and was worried they would try to take advantage of her not knowing much about cars, but they told her exactly what needed to be done and didnt try to charge her for extra stuff like other shady people do. Im super happy with this place and she also said there was a cute dog, which made her feel good! I will be definitely coming back to this place if I need any servicing for my car. Thank you!

Review β„–33

It’s been a long time before finding a reliable mechanic but I finally found it! This by far is the best place I have found to genuinely give me good prices and GREAT work! I commend Chuck for helping me with my Mazda. This car doesn’t have much to offer but with his help he gave me the right prices to keep her going. I never write reviews but I’m telling you, no one recommended me this place and if you’re stuck needing work on your car for a reliable price this is it!! I cannot even begin to explain how thankful I am for this mechanic shop for fixing my car numerous times! He even fixed my car for free even when he didn’t have to and that’s how great he is! I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE! THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The service was great! I was recommended to them by a family friend. They fixed my a/c for a good price, didnt charge me an arm and a leg like everyone else wanted to. They are very honest and will not rip you off. He got the job done very quickly too. I wouldnt go anywhere else now.

Review β„–36

Two weekends ago, I took my car in for new belts and rotor replacements after being told by several shops that my brakes were metal-to-metal for months by multiple places in the area.When I came to pick it up, Chuck surprised me by telling me that I, in fact, was not metal-to-metal and that I simply needed new pads. Great pricing + integrity really stands out from other shops in the area. I really appreciate his honesty.Theyve got themselves a customer for as long as Im in the area and Ive already told my entire family about them!Thanks a million!

Review β„–37

Chuck was fantastic - honest about the price up front, let us know what all he had done for labor, what parts were replaced and why, and what the costs of the parts were. We definitely will be taking our car back as service needs come up, and would highly recommend them to anyone. (Zeus, their gorgeous dog, also didnt hurt!)

This place is awesome! A tiny little jewel that I wish others knew about. The staff treats you like family and that means a lot because were all looking for an honest place to get our cars fixed. Even though the place is small the service is fast, staff is kind and informative, and the price CANT be beat! I wont be taking my car anywhere else and I hope this place stays open for a long, long, LONG time.

Mr. Chuck Hoover, is a Superb Mechanic. I will only recommend Chuck to all of my friends. He is Honest, Forthcoming, Articulate and extremely Fair in price. I have such a great rapport with him, to include his wife. They were so very kind to take me home as well as pick me up with my repaired vehicle. This is the 3rd vehicle I have chosen Chuck to work on. I cannot speak highly enough of his Professionalism.

Review β„–46

I was totally amazed with the curtious and caring with the business. I called for an estimate and time frame to do a repair. Not being from the area I was totally surprised at the service from them. Chuck have me a price and time frame calling me back that he had not gotten delivery on part needed and changed my appointment time by a few hours which was fine and stated he would call me if part came in early and the part arrived early and bring my car in whenever I could. So dropped car off and low and behold was done in no time and quoted price was about two dollars more than quoted which was fine. I give this place five stars. Thank you for fast, great, proffesional, curtious, and fast fair prices.

This was first visit to Hoover and Sons, wont be my last. Chuck the owner is very pleasant to deal with and straight forward. They were able to get my a/c blowing cold on my van at a very reasonable price. They also were able to get my door locks working with just replacing a simple fuse. Thanks for the great service and for getting those locks working for me.

Review β„–49

Ive had very good experience. Their pricing seems reasonable and they do good work. They dont exceed their estimates and they dont do unnecessary work. If you have the option of a more expensive (better) fix vs. a less expensive (less than better) fix, they will explain in detail and give you the option.

Review β„–52

Ive beem going to see Chuck for a few years now. Started off with my grandmothers minivan, he cut the cost of competitors in half and did the job in one day(rear wheel bearings).Then came my car. I mistakenly brought it to another local establishment for AC repair and they charged me $100 and fixed nothing. Ran over to Hoover and Sons, not only did he point out the previous shops garbage, he was able to find the actual problem within a minute. Price was perfect and the job was done the same day!Its hard finding a good, reputable mechanic in this area. The chain shops are used to predatory elderly pricing.

Review β„–54

My bf bought his truck in we thought the headgasket were blown cause he had no oil and we thought there was oil in the water.. Well Hoover and Sons check his truck out and found nothing wrong with his truck.. Just burned alot of oil and it was not oil in the water.. They suggested to do a oil change so we did.. So something we thought was going to be about 2000.00 turn out to cost us 40.00 for the oil change.. They could of told us it was the headgasket like some other place probably would of... But Hoover and Sons was very honest so 2 thumbs up!! Thank you guys for being πŸ’― percent HONEST.. They will get our business for his truck..

Review β„–55

My car broke down on the side of the road right in front of this Auto Shop. It was sometime much after they closed and the owner came out and tried to diagnose my car. The next day he was able to repair my car for under $100 and stayed after hours to finish it. Such a professionally ran company, I will be returning and recommending them to others.

Chuck was friendly, courteous, and professional. I thought I needed brake work done, but he showed me that it was just rust on the rotors. He showed me my brake pads, gave me a timeline for when I should have them and the rotors replaced, and didnt charge me for the quick inspection. Will definitely be going back when I need the work done.

Review β„–66

Honesty and accuracy in diagnostics is very important to, me as a caregiver, who can no longer rely on my husband of 32 years to do our own auto repairs. Sadly, my husband has suffered major disabling health crises, and I have been taken advantage of by other mechanics. I happened to read a great review about Hoover and Sons, and when faced with an auto crisis, on the very day my husband was taken by ambulance to the hospital in an unresponsive state, Chuck made sure that the last worry on my mind that day, was my car repairs! He is generous in spirit, fair in business, honest, and accurate with diagnosing the problem, saving money by not doing work thats unnecessary. I will trust no one for an auto repair, big or small, again. Chuck, at Hoover and Sons has earned my trust, in honesty and skill! I just want to publicly say THANK YOU for your compassion and stellar work at an extremely stressful time.Please Do NOT confuse Hoover and Sons with the shop next door! I had a horrible experience there and see in reviews that others have too and seem to read Hoover and Sons sign and write a bad review on Chuck the most pleasant skilled mechanic Ive dealt with since moving to Florida.

Review β„–67

I called and received an estimate to replace a heater core for $650, which is in line with another estimate I received from another shop. I told them I would think about it, and a few minutes later they called back and asked why i wanted it repaired; if I did not have heat, or because it was leaking. I told him it was leaking and he told me i could just cap off the lines to the heater and I would still have A/C, just no heat. It is an older vehicle so this was an easy decision. The part is not real expensive, it is just a lot of labor, so this shop gave away income to save me money. If you want an honest mechanic, look no further. This is my new auto repair shop.

Review β„–80

I recently had a incident with this company about my vehicle. It’s kind of sad because me and my spouse dealt with this company before so we trusted this business was legit. My vehicle needed a new engine but it was a last minute situation so when the owner of the shop Chuck Hoover stated it was ok to leave it until we came up with the money we did so. When contacted (as he stated to call once we were ready for the car to be fixed) the owner lied numerous of times about the whereabouts of my vehicle which ultimately left me no choice but to contact authorities. Mr. Hoover then told the authorities that he had my vehicle impounded due to abandonment and stated he would put a lien on my car for storage fees. I never abandoned my vehicle and he never reported this to authorities until after I filed a police report! Mr. Hoover and black jack towing tried to steal my title! Beware! I am in the process of taking every step possible to report this company and the towing company for everything they have taken me through.
