We were offered a repair check by Tuffy immediately when another popular, local place offered us an appointment 5 days away. The owner was beyond friendly, helpful, and thorough. I almost dont want to tell everyone how good they are for fear theyll get too popular! Ha. Prices are very fair for sure.They have definitely earned my business!!

David and Robin were both very professional, knowledgeable, honest and patient. They spoke to us over the phone a couple of times and took care of contacting our warranty company directly. This saved us time and stress. Overall we couldn’t have asked for more. We will always use this Tuffy on Tamiama Trail South in Venice, FL.

I have been going to Tuffy in Venice for all of my auto service needs since I moved here a few years ago. Its so good to find an automotive service business as professional as Tuffy. Everyone there (from the owner, front office, and technicians) is friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and actually care about you and your vehicle. I feel secure that they are doing right by me and I would recommend them to anyone in need of any automotive service.

I have been swamped and no time to get an oil change that I was past due on. I always use Tuffy, but hadn’t used this location because it’s further from my house. I had an hour to get an oil change last Tuesday and called this location as it was closer to where I was running other errands. Rubin answered, I asked if he could squeeze me an at 5:15pm. Knowing they close at 6pm I was apologetic and let him know if it was too lat minute, I totally understand. He said ‘I’ll take care of you, bring it in.’ I was there at 5:15 and he had me in and out by 6pm. I am so thankful for his kindness and professionalism. Tuffy has never done me wrong and I highly recommend this location!! Thank you Rubin!

The owner and staff were amazing. We had a screw in our tire and they took care of it right away. I’ll def be back. Thanks again.

Rubin and his crew have always been helpful. We appreciate the top notch service they provide. We trust that we will be dealt with honestly - they do not try to sell you repairs that are not needed. They are good at diagnosing the issue and correcting the problem the first time.

Friendly, courteous and professional. In and out with my regular oil change in 30 minutes.Recommend.

Had a noise coming from under my truck. Thought it may be a hanger for my exhaust so called and Rubin said to bring it in on a Saturday morning. Within an hour he called and said it was done and the cost was $26. He fixed that exact issue I thought and was honest and cool to deal with. Will definitely recommend this location to anybody I know and will go back myself if needed.

Initially I went in for a free brake inspection. They found that I needed new brakes, as well as calipers and rotors. My vehicle is older and pre-owned so I figured something like that was going to happen. However, a few weeks later my vehicle became immobile again because of something malfunctioning in one of the areas they had just fixed. I went to another mechanic who found that Tuffy had forgotten one of the bolts in one of the calipers they had changed. I had to pay for the labor to replace the bolt and now my steering is damaged.

Rubin and his team are the best in the business! If you are looking for an honest, fair shop with great prices this is the place! Cant speak enough about their professionalism, honesty and great work. I never leave reviews but had to give 5 stars to let everyone know about this great service!

Rubin and his team are awesome! Excellent service, honest, and professional. Like allstate, your in good hands! Finally mechanics I can trust!

Rubin is the best! His customer service with all his employees especially his service manager is top notch! Always fair with prices and go beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much for your service to this country! We will always be in debt to your sacrifice for this country! This Tuffy is like no other. I’ve had bad experiences at other locations but this Tuffy will be my first choice in taking care of my cars! Thank you Rubin!

I was a walk in late in the afternoon and Ruben could have just said I’m sorry you’ll need to make an appointment or come back tomorrow but instead he said ma’am do you mind waiting a little bit which wasn’t very long and they did my oil change and out I went and I am always so very very happy with Tuffy and most especially the Venice Tuffy and Ruben thank you

Honest which hoping they stay that way because their business will continue to be successful and honestly is hard to find. Great place I trust

Got great last minute service for a tire with a nail in it. The manager, Reuben, was professional and empathetic.

What a great experience I had at Tuffy. Had a 4:00 appointment took my car right in at 4 and had be back out in 45 minutes to do 4 minor repairs on my car at a reasonable price. The owner is a veteran and treats people with honesty and respect.

Car serviced. Honest, really mechanics. Car running great. Fair prices

Fixed damage to my wheel well over lunch and did not charge me. I was stress because I have to drive to PA. They fixed my car immediately, were so kind and went above and beyond to help me. Would recommend the to anyone!

Very impressed with their honesty and the integrity of the owner... I had my daughters oil changed yesterday & a couple of needed items. it was affordable and definitely worth the trip! Ill be back! A good reputation brings more customers by word of mouth & Ill be spreading the word... Thanks so much for taking the time to help! Jaye

The staff at Tuffys Venice location are so helpful, knowledgeable, and super nice. Great customer service.

They say if you find an auto mechanic who is both competent AND honest that you should hold onto him and dont let go!! Thats the way I feel about Rubin Wilson and his team at Tuffys in Venice FL. Theres no BS and no oversell. He tells it like it is and works to get the best price. The facility is exceptionally clean which to me is a reflection of their commitment to great service. A real pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend.

They replaced my rear shocks back in March. Had a bad wheel bearing recently and the repairman said my shocks needed replaced; one was leaking. Took it back and Rubin took a look at it. Defective part! He placed it while I waited. Great service and professionalism.

Excellent customer service, in and out as promised. Other places that I have taken my truck to, see a woman and treat me as if I am ignorant of my own vehicle, not at Tuffy Tire and Auto. My experience was professional and respectful both of me, and also my time. I support Veteran run businesses and this is one I will definitely be returning to for all future needs for my F 150 services.

Ruben and his crew are outstanding. 2 thumbs up

Thank you for getting me in for a last minute oil change. Great service, tires rotated, brakes checked and all in an expected time. Clean, comfortable waiting room and great conversation with other customers. I will definitely be back!

My vehicle is old but she’s sexy & they truly took care of my van. Went in for an oil change but they caught an issue that on a Highway could have been dangerous for me & my family.Professional, thorough & good humor. Qualities hard to come by these days.Thank you

Tuffy Auto Venice treated my recent service on my 2011 Honda Pilot including new spark plugs, brake and oil fluid changes, tire rotation and fuel induction cleaning promptly and efficiently. Rubin was so honest that I didnt need work I thought I had to have done. I was treated very fairly and not a lot of talk. I highly recommend them for servicing vehicles.

Great staff and great prices, would recommend!

I can use many words to express my appreciation for Tuffy Auto Services! I will use FANTASTIC for the service I received! I dealt with David in regards to my vehicle repairs he was fair and honest and explained everything in my language NOT MECHANIC language. If your looking to have your vehicle fixed and not get taken advantage of this is were you should definitely go. Everyone there is a pleasure to do business with.

Highly competent, trustworthy, responsive and stellar customer service! David fixed the issue with my tires and also did extensive repair work for my partner who referred me there. He/they are a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.

A friend of mine suggested I take my car to the Tuffy Tire and Auto Service in Venice, Florida. I was greeted by the Manager/Owner, Rubin Wilson. From beginning, I could tell that Mr. Wilson is an outstanding professional in the auto repair industry. He treated me and others as his number 1 customer. Extremely friendly and he showed genuine care to make sure my problem was solved to my satisfaction. Customer service and satisfaction is his number 1 concern. I highly recommend Venice Tuffy.

Once again David, Rubin and the Crew saved the day!! My brakes started scraping out the blue and they worked me in the busy schedule and fixed me right up! Always friendly,  expert services at a very fair price!

Staff that I have worked with are professional and accomodating. I will continue to go there for service on my vehicle.

Manager Dave and the tech that worked on my vehicle today were fantastic: timely, clear communicators, honest, quickly diagnosed my car’s issue, and quickly resolved my issue. I definitely recommend this repair shop!

David was great in helping repair our car and service tech was great in explaining what needed to be done. Will recommend others to visit this store.

They are very fair and honest.

Ive brought in many vehicles from 2015 Honda Civic & CRV, my 1998 Dodge Dakota, & my current 2012 Chrysler 200. Always a great job & great prices. This is a company I trust with my vehicles. All associates & managers are friendly and easy to speak to. Its always a pleasure doing business!

Ruben and David are amazing great people I bring my car to them all the time and they never let me leave until they know for sure my car is safe. Great guys

The Guys were AWESOMETHANK YOU RUBIN

Excellent service for a very reasonable price. Super fast. Rubin, the manager/owner is very kind and respectful. I definitely will be bringing my cars at this place.

What an awesome shop. I know nothing about cars n prayed i would get to Tuffys in Venice FL who came highly recommended. My alternator needed to be replaced but every light on my dashboard was on. Not sure my brakes even worked. Within an hour Ruben had my car up n running. Hes a great guy, a family man and a veteran who served in Afghanistan 6 tours. I would trust him with any vehicle. He gets 5+ stars out of 5. Fair, honest n trustworthy. Yes, it is possible.

Good service, they find the parts with quality.My car is running pretty well.Peace of mind 😌

Rubin and crew were very professional and honest. If I weren’t leaving for a Ohio in a few weeks, I’d use them again.

They seem nice. The price for an oil change was great compared to Valvoline

I had my oil changed here, and was pleased with the professional staff and price, so I called them again a few days later when I needed a new tire. David ordered a pair of (odd sized- no place has them in stock) tires and had me back on the road early the next day. The new owner is caring and takes pride in his shop and the crew is polite and helpful.

First of all, I only write reviews when I am compelled for EXCEPTIONAL and memorable service and QUALITY WORK. And I am compelled to write a review for this shop after getting my multiple cars serviced here.So many customers bring in cars after having another shop mess it up. I know Rubin and David always take me to my cars and point them out to me what the previous issues were BEFORE THEY CHARGE ME A DIME. So, if some customers attempt to leave a negative comment, I would ask them if they were advised of the prior issue BEFORE they authorized the service. We the customers should be fair to these hard working business owners.I am not surprised that most other customers are equally happy with service quality here, since every customer I talked to in the lobby are repeat customers like I am.I know Rubin brought his own relays and went through the entire engine bay of my car when his crew (very hard working) were all working on other cars. That shows a lot of dedication for customer service, which many other shop managers and owners dont do nowadays. As I am writing this review, he took in another customer who didnt even make an appointment, just because he needed to go to Disney World this afternoon. Its another example of AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE.I will be happy to recommend this shop to ANY of my friends and family, since I keep finding myself bringing my cars here.If you want a shop that tells you straight up if you need new parts or not, this is THE place to go. More shops in the area should be as STRAIGHT UP as this shop.

From the second I walked in the service was awesome . Rubin the owner and manager is fantastic he what one of his service techs go through my car and gave me a detailed list of things that needed to be addressed. He gave me a fair price and his team of mechanics are all great guys and extremely professional .

We came here on a recommendation from my brother-in-law and we got a great deal. We called up to see if they had the tires in stock, and they were able to get them within an hour. We were in and out in no time. Reuben is a great guy and took care of us. Thank you!

Ruben was great! Was honest and answered all questions.

My family and I have trusted Rubin with All of our vehicles. Kind and honest, Nothing but the best service! Veteran owned and operated, too! 🇺🇸

Tuffys in Venice installed a transmission in a pickup truck for us during our visit to Florida. Our transmission had failed unexpectedly, but Tuffys was able to get the replacement transmission installed very quickly and without any issues so that we could continue our visit. They were professional, courteous, and timely. I recommend Tuffys Tire & Auto Service Center in Venice, Florida to anyone local or visiting for your next car repair. Awesome!

BEST PLACE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I am impressed with their work

Great price and they were able to work us in for oil change right away

I just had to write a review!!!! Customer service at its best!! I thought it was impossible to get the attention, care, and professionalism in 2020! Well here I go, I asked the names of the workers to give them all the credit deserved. I pulled in to Tuffys knowing my brakes were almost gone, you could hear the sound and told them about... right away the Service Manager David saw my concern and squeezed me in without an appointment, instructed the Service technicians of my dilemma and as soon as a bay was available, Tom the technician pulled my car in and told me that my brakes were gone!! Of course I panicked, because I could have caused an accident. So David the Service Manager; like precision delegated to all the Technicians Tom go get the parts, Alex, & Justin Technicians who started taking apart the brakes in preparation to put the new brakes on; Tom got back from getting the brake pads and rotors.... then David the Service manager worked on the left brake and Tom on the right brake .... I never seen a team so orchestrated like this in years... I found out the owners name is Ruben, he has the best team I have seen in years.... Thank you for your time, how much you cared and professionalism.... you need to be proud of your team!!Respectfully,Diane PietrasEnglewood

This place is worth every star. Rubin was very nice and got me in and out. I did not even have an appointment and got me taken care of right away. Other customers inside were return customers and they had nothing but the best to say also. My truck sounds amazing now!!! Thank you

They do a great job and very trust worthy.

First time ever there treated me with respect hooked up my car to their machines found nothing wrong with it and didnt charge me with their diagnostic test . Finally found an honest mechanic shop. I would definitely recommend this shop to everyoneAll stay safe 🙏 healthy 🇺🇸 and strong 💪Mike and Dee

Went to have a tire patched and they said they couldnt do it because l had already put a plug in it. Said l needed a new tire. Went to Firestone and theu patched the tire with no problem. Dont know if the guy was lazy or was trying to get a commission on a new tire

Entered in on a busy Saturday. We were taken care of within 15 minutes. They fully explained everything and gave great deals on their service. They were even able to find a small nail in my tire that another place couldnt! I love these guys!! Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Chuck and his team are great had an issue and they fixed it free at charge.

Excellent service. Good at explaining whats happening, efficient, friendly,, and fairly priced.

I arrived a couple of minutes before opening to see if I can get my car serviced without an appointment. Rubin was able to take care of me and have my car ready within the hour. I’ll definitely go there again.

Went here to get an oil change and found one of my belts cracked. Owner Ruben was very informative and explained everything. Tire rotation included!

Rubin and David at Tuffys Venice have been consistently professional, friendly, trustworthy and honest. I had yet another positive experience as I brought my car in for A/C service today. I never have to worry when I go in. I know Im going to get the best care. Thanks, guys!

These guys are courteous and professional. Its a pleasure to deal with them for your vehicles service needs.

Now let me tell yall about the greatest tuff there is helpful fast nice and honest all things very hard to find but the tuffy in Venice has them all I even tried another tuffy in North Port and they told me they cant lift my ram 3500 so I called the one in Venice and they told me to come on in and if need be they will use jacks in the parking lot to get the job done wow the staff there is one in a million thank you all so very much

Excellent! The guys look at my car with a flash lite and guaranteed the car is fine.just need brakes..next time

Very good service very quick very good men working there

Owner is wonderful. Very knowledgeable. Best place in town to have your car, truck, or like us our work van serviced.

7/2019: If you call, and a gentleman by the name of Edison introduces himself, just know that your in good hands. Edison is an outstanding individual, who has demonstrated superior automotive knowledge and experience on numerous occasions. He has ALWAYS been a true professional, and does a great job of leaving his personal life at the front door when he walks into work. Edison is also very receptive to all my automotive concerns and address them with ease. I highly recommend this location for all issues, automotive related.

This service center were great. They accommodated my request to have a contactless experience. The people were great.

Ive just gotten oil changes so far, but these guys will become my go-to place for all my mechanic needs and tires in the future. Theyre great!

They are Awesome! The staff is friendly and very kind. I will always bring my car there for repairs... Hands down they are the best!!

Exceptional quality of service. Rubin, the owner, is a friendly guy who treats his customers right. Will definitely be back!

This place has helped me out with several of my vehicles. They have always been kind and courteous. With thier knowledgeable technicians, they do an awesome job on repairs, at a fair price.

Incredible, this service center, which locally owned by a U.S. Military Veteran. They took pride in the service that they did on my truck. Their shop is clean and organized which reflected in the work they performed. I didnt feel like I got ripped off just to boost their commission like at other services centers. GREAT job and Ill see you soon for the work that you recommended.

I had a great experience here. Fast and friendly people who listen to your concerns. GREAT!

In the past, I have always been a Tire Kingdom customer. Everything in one place. I had never taken a car to Tuffys. After today, Im cutting up my Tire Kingdom credit card because Im never going back there. I had bought 4 new tires with road hazard warranty and a front end alignment a few months ago from Tire Kingdom. I knew one of my tires seemed to be slowly leaking air but I wasnt expecting to wake up to a flat tire. After paying KIA roadside assistance 78 dollars to send a truck out to put air in my tire, I went to Tire Kingdom to get the tire fixed. Both the Tire Kingdom in Port Charlotte and Venice said they were too busy to look at it. I needed my car to work tonight and I was anxious about having to drive on that tire. I went across the street to Tuffys and asked if they could help me. Tuffys was booked solid for 3 days ahead, but Rubin helped me anyway. Not having an open bay, he changed it outside and fixed it himself. That is customer service! This is where Im going from now on. In fact I already booked an appointment to get my oil changed next week.

Fast and efficient.Love that it is American owned by a military veteran, and local .Rubin and Craig are both very pleasant and helpful.No up selling,just a suggestion of some work I should have done to keep my car running efficiently.Also letting me know I will need new tires in the not so far future so I can plan ahead. I appreciate that.This is my second oil change at this location and will be my new go to for all my vehicle needs.

They had my parts ordered quickly, and they did a beautiful job on my car! They were very kind and respectful when I had to wait for more than an hour with my small children. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend their business

The fellas are always kind and knowledgeable about my car and its needs. I always leave feeling that I have been treated fairly and they managed to keep my car in good working order

Went in to get a tire checked out for a hole. Mark and his crew were happy to check out my car without an appointment and got me in pretty quickly with the other scheduled customers. To my surprise, they could not find any holes in the tire, but instead a manufacturer defect with my tire. Mark then advised me on how I could go about getting the tire fixed with my warranty. He did all of this for free saying, I didnt do anything, so you dont have to pay for anything. Although, I thought his knowledge and advice was worth something! Very nice, trustworthy gentlemen working here. They also did an oil change for my husband a couple weeks ago. He was very pleased with the service and the price at his visit as well.

Rubin (owner) Ive known for a few years and trust my car service being done right without being pushy about add ons. Want the job done right with a knowledgeable and respectful staff go here. Never disappointed with the service

Outstanding service went out of their way to help someone from out of time. Didnt try to sell anything that wasnt needed. No pressure. Was there twice for 2 different things. Rubin Wilson run a great shop.

I had the opportunity to visit Tuffy twice in the last week, once for scheduled work and the second time for an emergency repair on my daughter’s car. Mark was wonderful working the front desk. The scheduled service was done by appointment, the diesel truck was in and out of the shop on time and the price was cheaper than anyone around. For the car, Mark was able to get the car in the same morning and finished the job before closing – best of all, there was work he recommended not doing. A five star experience all the way around and this will be my shop of choice for future work.

Very personable, honest and efficient! Very reasonable prices. Definitely going back!!!

I came in first thing in the morning after working a very long overnight shift. I did not have an appointment. Edison and his guys worked me in, made the necessary repair (thankfully just a sensor) and I was on my way. Very courteous attitude and fast good work done! Thanks for getting me on my way as fast as you did.been coming in for roughly the last 12 years. Highly recommend

I manage and run this location and I would like to thank everyone who took the time to review this location there is an explanation to all reviews and 2 sides to every story come check is out for yourself and I promise you won’t be sorry I have the best employees in town and we strive for excellence.Thank you sincerely Rubin

We are from Canada and had A/C problems. Edison and the mechanics took fantastic care of our Vehicle and us. They went above and beyond expectations. We visit family in Florida at least 6-8 times a year. We have found a place to go when we have car trouble where we feel that we are in good hands. Very trustworthy, will go in to Venice Tuffy for everything we need done on our vehicle. 5 ++++ stars. I forgot to mention how friendly everyone was. Thanks again guys!!!

Helped us with a flat tire really quick

Honest and professional.

THe front desk gentlemen always frowning how the shop doesnt make money if they only do Oil change.Then they stripped the drain plug thread in my Suv oil pain, and continue to tell me it will cost me approximately $1000 to replace the new oil pan if I dont want to have my oil leak. Great.

They are honest and friendly. And they do the work diligently and in great time. First, I came with a coolant leak and they diagnosed the problem and fixed it at a great price. Then I came back concerned about my brakes and they checked them out and told me I didnt need new pads because there is plenty left. They said the squeaking I was hearing is common for the age and make of my car, but the brakes look fine. I came in alone and they were so honest and didnt take advantage.

Edit: So after posting the review the manager contacted me and they were extremely apologetic. They offered to take the time to look over are car and help us out. They did and we are extremely happy with the quick customer service and willingness to hear our complaint and actually address it. We went back and are very happy with the end results.This use to be our go to place. Apparently having an older van means my check engine light doesnt matter. Not to mention he keeps trying to tell me we got work done with other mechanics which we havent we have been going to them SINCE we bought this van 4 years ago. If they dont want our business then just be up front instead of dismissive and vague. Very disappointed and frustrated. Will be finding another mechanic.

Great work, fair prices. Work done right the first time!

Wow!!! Great service, great staff!!! Havent been to a car repair facility this great in a long time!!! Definitely recommend Tuffy of Venice!!!

I have had three of my vehicles there for oil changes and brakes and recieved great service every time. The owner Rubin is honest and a great guy to deal with.

Stopped by Tuffy customer service about a license plate light bulb that had burnt out. Tuffys service manager, Craig, made our day when he had our car checked and fixed the problem right away, at no charge. WOW, now thats great customer service!! (Much better than the $116 ticket we received from Sarasota Co, without being given a notice to repair it first)

Thank You Tuffy Tire and Auto Service for not making me go out of my mind whenever I need service, tires, oil changes. It is so nice to be able to rely on great quality work, great prices and awesome people! Tuffy takes the tough out of auto service.

They listen to whats wrong and fix it step by step. Found another problem that the dealership didnt. Saved me half of what the dealership wanted to charge me. Honest and thorough.
