Its always tough to find an automotive repair shop that you can trust and count on to be honest, fair, and competent in the work they do.The family owned business, Auto Technologies is by far, the best automotive repair shop in the area! It took me awhile to find a place that I can depend on. After going to several other places over the past ten years and never satisfied with the work they performed, I heard about Rico and their business. Let me tell you I RECOMMEND them to anyone needing car repairs or general maintenance.Thank you Auto Technologies!
Look no further for an honest, neighborhood mechanic. I have used them multiple times, some very serious problems,(fuse panel replacement, A/C replacement), and some very minor issues. (A/C tune up, tires, battery). Today was the icing on the cake. I had my expedition towed in for starting, then dying. Happened before, but miraculously, it seemed to correct itself overnight.(Love when that happens) I called and let them know what happened (because I had it towed to them when they were closed), by the time I called, they had already looked at it, AND fixed it. Just a vacuum leak and another minor issue. Now get this, I tell them I will pick it up when I get off work, get there and ask for the total, no charge sir. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Who does that anymore? This is 1950s service, when people cared about their reputation.
This is the 1st place ever that I felt comfortable taking my car as a woman and not being ripped off. You should try this place, they dont charge anything for diagnostics and fix your car fair and square.
We were lucky enough to stumble across Auto Technologies when googling top star rated auto repair shops in our area to maintain and or repair several of our transit service vehicles, as well as our staff, customers, family and friends personal vehicles.It has been a breath of fresh air since we learned that the men and women running this establishment are REAL LIFE PEOPLE with a real life understanding of the need for transparency and honesty to its customers.From our company to yours, we appreciate your fast and fair services, and most importantly your integrity, honesty and ethics. We will continue to support your team and refer everyone we know to you guys.Thank you all so much! It is always pleasant doing business with you.Kindest regards,Office Manager - Crystal and the Iceberg Heating and Air team!
From the phone call for pricing to the appointment itself I was very pleased. Will be bringing all my future car needs here.
Received some great vibes and blessings from the people at this place. Will definitely be back for any auto mechanical needs in the future
These guys are honest, fair priced and reliable. One of my go-to guys to take care of my vehicles.
Always top quality work performed!!... They aim to go above and beyond your expectations.. a refreshing experience at an automotive repair shop!! Hats off to Rico...Lilly and Amber👍
The folks at Auto Technology have always gone above and beyond. Just today, I pulled in with a totally flat tire. No appointment but technicianimmediately took care of my tire. This is typical of the service at Automotive Technologies. I will always highly recommend them.
I have been using Auto Technologies for 15+ years and they are the only mechanics I trust. I bring any vehicle I am looking to buy to them for an honest opinion. If they tell you something needs to be done you can trust them. I recommend them to anyone looking for a mechanic.
I go here for all my oil changes and tires when necessary thankfully no mechanical issues but if I had any.. I wouldnt hesitate to go here. Theyre honest reliable.The shop is clean the garage is spotless.
A few months ago, I brought my Buick Regal into Auto Technologies after it shut off while making a turn. Rico looked at it, found that there was fuel in the crankcase, was familiar with the issue, and let me know that I should have it towed immediately to the dealer because it should be covered under a non-automatic recall that was about to expire. He was right, and I ended up saving thousands in repairs. He didnt even charge me for the visit. I was very impressed by the honesty and the level of care that Rico, Amber, and the rest of the staff showed towards me on this visit and in prior visits by other members of my family. In instances where they have made repairs, they have always been of the highest quality, made in a timely manner, and at a very reasonable price.
They fixed my tires within 30 minutes! There were two giant nails that were missed when I had my tire patched somewhere else. The staff, Amber, Lilly, and Rico were kind, fast, and generous.
Amazing service! As a woman, I am sometimes skeptical about auto places. Rico was excellent and extremely fair, efficient, and kind. I definitely plan to come back. Thank you!!
These folks are honest and trustworthy. Rico is very knowledgable and willing to explain. They do good work at a fair price. Im a very satisfied customer, going on four years now.
We brought a car there we were looking to purchase to have a diagnostic test performed. The staff was amazingly helpful kind and detail oriented. We bought the car and well be taking it there for any repairs.
Rico and Amber excellent customer service. Will be a new customer from now on.. Thank you for making it a pleasant one...
They go above and beyond to meet and exceed all your auto needs. Ive been using them for years!
As a woman, Ive had really bad experiences with auto repair shops, with the male dominated space and stereotypes about women not knowing anything about cars, I regularly got ripped off compared to prices places would give my husband or dad. Auto Technologies was the complete opposite. Rico made me feel so welcomed and respected and NOT patronized or brushed off because of not knowing all the details. He changed my timing belt and water pump for 300 less than tires plus was charging. They also changed a lot of other things I needed and often left the labor fee off. I literally saved 500 dollars compared to what local chains were charging me. I immediately felt like friends with everyone there. Amber was also knowledgeable and friendly! I will NEVER get car work done at a chain after these guys, Im sticking with them for good. So professional, so honest, and a job well done. Thank you Rico! Blown away by yall.
Great staff willing to go above and beyond to meet customers expectations. Took my car in on Wednesday, because my car was shaking. They looked my car over and I needed new tires. My car did sit for a few years and was but driven add the tires developed flat spots on the tires. I called them Thursday and have them the go ahead on the tires. They finished it Friday (mostly because I was not able to make up my mind on tires) and I was unable to get there due to lack of an available person and transportation. So, I was kinda upset that I would have to wait till Tuesday to get my car back. (Monday was Memorial day). But to my surprise I received a call, first thing Monday morning, the staff decided to work a half day, on Memorial day to help get people back into their vehicles.Thank you guys for all your hard work. Highly recommend this shop!!!
Great professional atmosphere with trained staff and techs...everyone here gave me the immediate impression that they know what they are doing. Prices are better than expected and the service is top notch. Thank you. My car was fixed in a timely fashion and was clean when I got it back.
Family Owned local business honest and dependable its definitely a top notch shop
Knowledgeable, accommodating friendly, and possibly even honest. Quick Service and the knowledge of the computer which is so necessary these days love these guys tell everybody about them
This is a great place to bring your car for all your automotive needs their prices are very fair they are honest and they get you in and out.I had a great experience today and I plan onbringing my car in for all future maintenance and auto repairs needed.
I will never take my vehicles anywhere else. I was in the market in buying a used vehicle. They would look over the vehicle for free, one thing I like about this place is they won’t lie about needing a bunch of stuff that you don’t need. This is the only place I will take my vehicles, I have been going here for years and will never go anywhere else. I had my new truck towed all the way from st. Pete to there. I thought it would cost a lot more than it did to get fixed. Any other place would of because it’s a used truck and would of lied about stuff being wrong on it. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.
This place is AWESOME! Amber is fantastic! An honest repair shop...kudos!
The best and most honest people I know.. wouldnt go anywhere else
Thank you Rico and staff. We weren’t there more then 10 min. He put a bolt in under my daughters Honda Accord that was needed and put air in all her tires. Didn’t charge us a dime. Such kind hearted people. I will continue to bring my truck and car there. Reliable, kind, honest, professional and fast. Thanks again, you guys are the best.
Hands down the best experience Ive ever had anywhere. Theyre honest, really nice and get you in and out quickly. My friend referred me years ago and I havent taken our family cars anywhere since. I would recommend them to anyone!
No one enjoys going to the auto repair shop. I was referred to Auto Technologies a couple of years ago by a friend. I have never seen a more upbeat, honest and efficient repair staff. Thank you Carmen, Rico and the rest of the team for providing me with such outstanding service. I would go nowhere else.
This place is where you want to take your car to if you want honest work and no rip offs. The mechanics especially Bill and Dale are hard working guys who know their stuff. Carmen, the owner, treats his patrons like family and is always fair. So if your looking for fair prices and a family like atmosphere, this should be your go to place for your car.
I’ve been taking my car here for a couple years now because they are the most fair and honest people I’ve worked with. They tell me when there is nothing wrong or if I can’t get it done cheaper by getting the part myself, and they don’t try to sell me unnecessary things. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new mechanic and someone you can rely on. They always get my car in and out and the people are friendly and professional.
Definitely recommended! Every time I go to this auto place they are nothing but exceptionally kind, honest and more than fair with pricing. This is a true review from a true customer. It was raining at my last appointment and when my car was finished they actually came and picked me up where I was waiting at the McDonald’s. I honestly feel the owner here is honest, unlike most every other auto shop I have been to.
Great people, so honest!
Great place for any and all car repairs from A TO Z. Great prices and reasonable. The owner, Carmen and his sidekick, Rico, are very courteous and helpful.
If you are looking for an auto repair specialists then this is the place to go. Carmen goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are taken care of. I have been going there since Carmen took it over and he has been awesome. If anyone needs more information simply email me and I can tell you some of my great experiences there. I have referred friends that have also had great experiences. I have been other places that try selling other things that are not really wrong. Not Carmen. He lets you know what you really need and he does it right. His mechanics are top notch.
Carmen is the most honest mechanic youll find anywhere and I wont take a car of mine anywhere else. I use my vehicle for work and these guys keep my car in top condition. I drive about an hour to see these guys because I trust them. Rico is also extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service. 5/5 stars but only because I cant rate higher. They have snacks sometimes too, its great.
This is great shop they help me out with my 2015 taurus .Carmen was professional and helped me get back on the road the next day . pricing was good . i highly recommend
Great customer service, took my car in for a much needed alignment and they did a perfect job, I also had an oil change done, their prices were very competitive, repair was done in a timely manner. Thanks guys, job well done!
This is great shop they help me out with my 2015 taurus .Carmen was professional and helped me get back on the road the next day . pricing was good . i highly recommend
Great attention offer fast and good service to the customers. Also, they are honest with the answers to the questions you have about your car.
Great, knowledgeable staff, and very clean facility. I was happy to do business here and will definitely again in the future.
I cant recommend this place highly enough. Super helpful customer service, no-nonsense & honest. We just moved to the area in 2015 and one of the really positive things has been finding a dependable place to take our vehicles when the need arises.
Great staff, they do an awesome job. Good prices.
Super friendly staff. The owner is a big help and their pricing is very competitive. I didnt get charged for diagnosis. I have an 1999 Infiniti and I wouldnt trust anyone else with this car or any other car. Carmen has been awesome and helped me with several repairs. I would not go anywhere else.
I dont usually leave reviews but these guys were great. My sister who is a single mother recently widowed needed a car and these guys had her on the road in no time. Thank you Carmen for your excellent service and more than fair pricing.
Excellent service. Expert advice by friendly, knowledgeable staff. I take my vehicles to Auto Technologies because they are honest and reasonably priced. I recommend them to family and friends.
Carmen and his crew at Auto Technologies are the best! Every time I bring my car to them, I come away completely satisfied with the quality of their service, not just on my vehicle, but their customer service as well. You wont find a more reliable or trustworthy mechanic in town. Ill definitely be bringing my car to Auto Technologies for all my oil changes, tires, and maintenance/repairs, and recommending A-T to my friends and neighbors.
This is the most honest mechanic shop I have ever been too. They do great work at affordable prices. The management is professional and friendly. I highly recommend Auto Technologies
From my first call I when I spoke directly to the owner to the time my car was done I had a wonderful experience. Carmen, Rico, Dale and all the guys are extremely helpful and professional. They beat out all the estimates and did not try to upsell. I had to stay there during the repairs and they were delightdul for the 5 hour duration. I am a customer for life now. What a great experience. I was treated like family. Thanks guys!!
The service managers and head mechanic are extremely honest with their customers. They dont do a hard sell on what needs to be done about service or repairs to your vehicle. They just tell it like it is. We are first time customers and will continue to go there for our service needs.
I had a great experience with Carmen and the folks at Auto Technologies. My 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee needed a new water pump. Carmen and his team analyzed the problem and replaced the pump within three hours at a very reasonable price. I lost just one day of work. Carmen actually came out to pick me up and take me to the shop when the work was done. Highly recommend!
Really great service. Very honest and up front.
These guys are the real deal! I started going to them a few years back when I had an issue with my 2011 Mustang GT. They were really honest, helpful and took real good care of the car. Did the same with my 2015 Mustang and with my dads Dodge Grand caravan. If you want some honest and proficient mechanics, this is definitely the best place to go to!!!
Always great, honest service. My car is older and has had issues (and has been driven by teenagers for 5 years now) but these guys have always been quick and straight to the point whenever I needed help. They will work with you and try to help you out if you are in a crisis. They dont over charge for oil changes either ($20!). Needless to say that if I ever need ANYTHING done to my car at all I will not let anyone touch it other than Auto Technologies, and I live in Pinellas County!
They are so helpful and reliable. I have been taking my cars here for years.
Great people. Reliable, helpful and honest.
Friendly and honest service - Very knowledgeable and they sincerely care. I met another customer there who said he has gone to them for years, and wouldnt go anywhere else.
I have brought my family cars to Carmen for the last two years they always are quick and do great work! They dont try and sell you parts or repairs that you dont need and they charge a fair price! Not much more you could ask for in a car repair shop.
These guys are truly honest and fair. I didnt think these type of places existed anymore, but they have proven me wrong. Great service and prices!
LOVE THESE GUYS!!! been here a few times and I wont go anywhere else now. Not only is the pricing the best I can find anywhere, the owner Carmen rocks. He knows what customer service really is because he is a regular person - not a business owner / mechanic looking to make a quick buck. He really cares about the service he provides. His right hand man RIco is awesome too, just wanted to give a shout out to him also. Thanks for letting me be your customer!
Efficient, helpful, and honest. Great place to get your car serviced. Thanks auto technologies!
Honest, friendly dudes. They will take care of you.
I love this shop! Ive taken my Eclipse there for all its needs, (which is a lot). They replaced my transmission, belts and hoses, radiator, alternator, AC compressor, tires, literally everything. I would not trust any other shop, everyone here is amazing, my boyfriend even takes his Charger there now and a former co-worker takes their Mercedes because they do such a great job!
Honest! Great experience and will be back in the future for anything car related! Honesty is rare in this industry
Great place to take your car to have an honest, very good mechanic, look at your vehicle and tell you what is wrong and what it needs to fix it. Fair prices.
Good guys and fast service! A safe choice if your looking for a place to take your car for repair.
Terrible. I took my Jeep to Auto Technologies for a covered repair on my extended warranty. I knew the repair was 100% covered as I have had the same repair done at the dealership before with no problems at all and absolutely no cost. Charlie informed me that my warranty didnt allow him to charge enough for the part and required that he use factory parts and not cheaper after market parts so he couldnt make enough $ on the repair so he would have to charge me $50 extra to make up for the fact that he couldnt make enough profit. I told him to not to do the repair as I could take it to the dealership and not pay anything. So I pickup up my Jeep and he kindly charged me $42 for the diagnostic evaluation. A repair that should have cost me absolutely nothing at all now cost me $42 dollars from a repair shop that will not even be doing the repair at all. Thanks for all your help Charlie, I guess you will find a way to make your money one way or another. I will never return to this repair shop and would never tell anyone to go there. I guess I will keep looking for an honest mechanic you isnt trying to squeeze every dollar out of me.
If youre looking for a good, honest, reliable and affordable mechanic go to Auto Tech! They are the best youll find. Go Carmen and Rico!
My mother-in-law neighbors john recommend me here great place thank you Rico and Carmen
Works Fast! Brought car in at 1:30, car was diagnosed, parts ordered, repaired, and tested all before 44:5. Impressive!
Always GREAT service!
Great service and excellent prices!!! Carmen, the owner, is always honest and wont sell you something you dont need.
Lowest price i could find to fix my cars ac. Finished the same day and works like new.
You can trust that your vehicle will be taken care of. Fair pricing and honest. Thank you Auto Technologies! I wont go anywhere else.
Cant say enough Good things about the professionals at Auto Technologies. Carmen & Rico are Top Notch. They brought my Ford F-150 back to life after a shady repair shop worked on it. It is such a relief to find an HONEST auto repair shop. There are way too many liars, cheats & thieves out there, which Auto Tech are none of. Any future repairs I need I will be going back to AT. I recommend them to anyone who needs their auto repaired. A+++.
Ive been in and out of this place and not because of them, but because my car decides to be a pain at times. These guys where there for me when I was freaking out on the side of the road with my car broken down. These guys helped me learn what was causing my car not to work. These guys are very friendly and just good people in general. These guys helped me with tune up, tires, new brakes, oil changes, and replacing a computer (twice) long story! In the end my ole 2000 ford taurus is still running and getting me from A to B because of Auto Technology.Thanks guys,Ricky
Moved down here and relied on google reviews. Only went to this place and couldnt be happier. Prices are good. The people are kind, caring, and will tell you what really needs to be done and what doesnt. Would recommend them to anyone.
We recently moved to the area and decided to use this business for a oil change and filter. I wanted to use a specific brand name filter and synthetic oil and they said no problem. Had some sticker shock at a $91 bill, but paid the bill and went about my way. I decided to do my own oil changes from now on and today when I tried to get the oil filter housing off, I had to use a impact wrench to loosen it up. Moron must have used a impact wrench to tighten the filter housing. Oh, and by the way, $8.38 for the filter I wanted and 6 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic at $4.50 a quart. I know they did the work and have to make some money, but $91.Yes, I wanted the specific oil as you mentioned and I also wanted a specific oil filter which is a off the shelf item at any NAPA store. Ive been in the oil and chemical industry for close to 40 years and Ive never heard of matching a better oil filter to synthetic oil. That filter housing could be empty and the oil would still do its job for a while. As far as your oil prices, you need to talk to your supplier because he must be overcharging you since you dont believe you overcharged me. I can get 6 quarts of the oil I specified for around $30.00. And the NAPA Gold oil filter, which I paid $8.38 for is hopefully the one you put in. So that comes to around $40.00 and you charged me $85.41. Most suppliers will deliver the oil and filter to your shop, so there was no running to get the supplies. So that looks like $45.00 to just change the oil and filter ? I realize youre in business and need to make a profit, but $45.00 for less than an hour ? And I have the special Toyota oil filter wrench and using a socket and breaker bar I could not loosen the housing. Even the impact wrench had a tough time getting the housing loose. The housing has machine threads and uses a o-ring for the seal, not brute force. One of your people went nuts tightening the housing, plain and simple. As far as saying something a year ago, I should have questioned the charge, but the overtightened filter housing is what set me off. I now know to never use your business and if someone asks, I would not recommend your business.
When in to have them look at my car and never even got to talk to someone when the owner came out and told me to move my damn car that i was blocking his stall and that this wasnt a parking lot. I hadnt even walked inside yet . That told me everything i need to know about this place .
Honest, reliable and experts for what ever you automobile needs. They saved me thousand after I received a dealer estimate on my car. Use them!
I have finally found a great mechanic shop that I can trust. Would not take my car anywhere else!
The best mechanic around! I highly recommend them!
These guys are a joke. Firstly, they ordered the wrong part which made the job take several days longer. When I picked up my car they didnt bleed the air out fully and the clutch felt like total garbage. When I brought it home I noticed they didnt even put the driver side fender back on properly. How can you possibly give a car back to a customer in this condition and charge WAAAAY too much!!! They invited me to bring it back so they can bleed the air out, but I decided to bring it to a mechanic who knows what theyre doing and charge an honest price. Avoid these guys at all cost!!!
Second this: This is the most honest mechanic shop I have ever been too.
Always friendly and do only what you ask them to do.
Friendly people who do great work at reasonable prices
Great customer service, fast service, fair pricing. Highly recommended.
Auto Technologies has serviced my Toyota Highlander multiple times for oil changes, and tires. I have always been impressed with their service and prices.
I can only describe my experience as being very professional and helpful! I brought in a project car that I bought for my son it is a 1996 Pontiac Gran Prix and I had weird noises coming out of it and feared the cost of repairs wouldnt make it worthwhile to play with!This repair shop knew I did not plan on having any work done at their location, but they took the time to raise it on lift and examine the car for 30 minutes, then gave me a list of work that would need to be done. They also reset the cars electronic controller, which made that noise go away!Lowered the car and parked it. When it came to cost, I asked how much do I owe, they said nothing!I took it to them for their opinion, they gave it for free! I have since taken 2 of my other cars in for repairs and service and I have been happy with the results and fair cost!
Christina stoutI have been going to them for a couple of years now I found them by looking up places to get my 1998 dodge Durango fix cause it wouldnt stay running and had it towed to them cause they said it sound like the wiring harness the cost was 500 dollars for an estimate the other owner of it got and carmen only charged me around 300 and something have been going there every since and now they serve my 2008 aspen and will always go to them no matter how far I have to drive very good service friendly and like family and will be worth the drive to have my aspen serviced
Great service. Really friendly staff!
Auto Technologies is under new ownership (Carmen Discepola) this year 2013. I took my 2005 Jeep Wrangler in for a bad vibration. The service manager, Mike Nazzario, showed me the bad parts. They replaced the u-joints on the rear driveshaft. The vibration is completely gone. The work performed and the price was great! I would definitely recommend them for your auto care. I am planning to go back and have the rear brakes replaced by Auto Technologies.Update:10/14/2013 - Today, I took my Jeep in for a complete rear brake job and a transmission flush. Mike Nazzario (service manager) is very friendly and reasonable. It has been a long time since I have felt comfortable in taking my Jeep or any vehicle somewhere. It is a great feeling that I can drive away and not have to worry about going back for incomplete work. I would definitely recommend them. I have finally found my auto repair shop.Update: 12/31/2017 - I still bring my Jeep here for all my repairs and oil changes. The Service Manager, Rico, and the owner, Carmen, are very friendly. My neighbors and family always get great service.
This is literally the only auto repair shop I have been to where you can actually trust they are not upselling you or doing excessive repairs.Service is also friendly and excellent.
All ways there to help great people and fast work for good prices.
Carmen and his team are very professional and very pleasant. when I first met Carmen, he told me that before he decided to open up his own shop, used to work for one of those franchise Autoshops. having been in that world for a long time he could testify to some of the shady practices that he witnessed and that Ive experienced. he told me he did not like the Wayans some of those places operated in after watching customer after customer gets screwed over, he couldnt take it anymore and decided to open up his own shop.I really appreciate the relaxed, laid back yet professional and HONEST service Carmen and his team provide at Auto technologies here in New Port Richey.Thank you guys, keep up the excellent work!
Carmen was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was expecting the worse with my 08 GT Mustangs brake system. I was expecting pads, rotors and calipers, but Carmen quickly put me at ease and even showed me why calipers werent needed. I was able to get my brakes and rotors machined along with an oil change for a fraction of what I expected. He was also pro-active about my future tire purchase and gave me 3 variations to choose from. As many of you know its tough to find an honest mechanic these days....but im now im a customer for life. Thanks again Carmen!
The owner Carmen is always professional and thorough! The quality of their work is always top notch!
Very qualified mechanics and a staff you can trust
