Such an amazing place to get car repairs done, I’ve been that last few times for my car and they’re always so nice and informative with what needs to be done. They always inspect and let you know ahead of time what needs to be done, and they also give you an estimated price which I like as well. I’m going to miss this place when I move but if I ever come back down this is the place I’d go to in a heartbeat

My car was in dire need of tires. Because of a wonderful experience that my son had with Car Doc on the Island, I decided to go talk to them about the tires. They are very friendly and helpful. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. They advised me on what tires would work best on my car (not the most expensive), ordered the tires, arranged for installation, balancing and alignment. On the day of my appointment to have the work done, they came over and picked my car up and brought it back when it was done. You couldn’t ask for better service than that! I recommend Car Doc on the Island in. Venice, Fl very highly.

Car doc on the Island is the absolute best! Stacy, Anna, Mike and the rest of the staff are awesome. They’re so friendly and down to earth. It feels like your taking your car to family to be repaired. They helped me get my 2009 Accord back on the road with some much needed repairs. The repairs were done so well. I love driving my car again!! Thank you Stacy, Anna, Mike and staff!! I’ll never go anywhere else for car repairs!!!

As a retired woman, it is so comforting to know I have such an honest and caring car repair service. Added to that, the people in the front office always make me feel welcome, and are beyond efficient. Since I know they really care about me and my safety, I am free to worry about other things, like grandkids’ play dates! Thank you, Anna and Mike!

It is difficult finding a trustworthy mechanic these days, and I am so glad that I found Car Doc. I have an older Toyota that desperately needed servicing, and my experience was a very positive one. They explained everything that was needed, and provided me with an estimate considerably lower than the Toyota dealership. Service was fast and the staff was incredible. My car has not run this smoothly in years! They even followed-up with me a few days later to see how my car was running. I was very impressed with them and would highly recommend Car Doc to anyone. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

I love Car Doc! The whole staff treats me like family and the service is thorough and excellent. My car is old enough to vote and has turned over 205k happy miles so far! Heading to vacation and confident my car will keep serving me well because of its check-up with Car Doc on Venice island!

Very nice folks to deal with. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and have a wide range of skill sets. You can be confident they will do the job with expertise and get it right the first time. I had tires and brakes replaced and Matt fixed a very frustrating and elusive parking/running light problem and dressed up the wiring to look original. A complete job well done. I am very pleased, Thank you Mike, Anna, Stacey, Matt and the rest of the staff.

This is the best auto repair shop in town. They are friendly, professional, and treat you like family! The technicians were very thorough with every job they’ve done, and they always take the time to explain the services they are providing and why they are necessary. I’ve taken every car I’ve ever owned there, and they have always been stellar! If you go, tell them I sent you!

Our 2012 Mini Countryman was in need of a new headlight - were new to the area (Venice) and the closest Mini Dealership wasnt convenient so we took a chance on Car Doc - On the Island. We arrived without an appointment, Mike, the owner, confirmed it was only a bulb, but he had to get the part from Ft. Myers which would take a few hours for the part to arrive which would have been close to or after closing. We said we could come back the next day so not to have him wait on us - his response was no worries. Ill stay as long as it take. Mike not only provided a great service, hes also a very likable man. Hopefully, we wont be in need of his services anytime soon but he will definately being going back to Car Doc!!

Just moved here from Ohio and needed my brakes changed. The reviews were great at this auto repair shop so I decided to give it a try and my experience was great!!

Review №27

An honest mechanic, no kidding ! I had my car towed to a dealership service dept.,they said I needed a new battery and an alternator. I just bought a new battery so I was suspicious, so I took it to Car Doc they found the problem and it did not need a new battery or alternator. The dealership service dept.wanted to charge me $865 and that would not have fixed the problem! Car Doc on the Island charged me $148 and my problem was solved, Dont go to dealership service departments, they are on commission to sell you as much as possible.

Mike and Ana and crew truly only do 5 star work and provide 5 star service!! I have never been to another mechanic that is more competent, fair, and honest.

Not often do you see a company with a 5.0 google rating and this many reviews. That pretty much sums up the experience you will have when you work with the team at Car Doc. Friendly across the entire staff, knowledgeable, on-time, and priced fairly. Dropped my MINI off at 8:15a, got a call with a detailed explanation of necessary service/repair with a price, and just picked up the car at 3:30p, ready to go with new pads and rotors and a couple of sensors. Thanks, Car Doc!

I came to Venice on vacation and after getting here we realized that the A/C in our BMW was not keeping up with the Florida heat. I found this Gem through a simple search and glad I did!! Very nice and honest people. I got a Full A/C service for less than a $100, vacuumed out the system purged any air and added a little additional Freon. Took the time to explain the potential problems and was willing to recheck the system after a week to see how it was holding up. Can not recommend them enough!!

Mike and Anna Velickovich are very honest, professional, and knowledgeable car repair business owners. I’ve trusted them with all our vehicles for about 15 years. If your car has a problem, they will be upfront and honest with you. They also provide a car pickup and drop off service in case you can’t make it to their shop. They are all around the BEST mechanic I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and the are the sweetest people.

Car Doc responded promptly to identify and fix the problem my mother-in-law had with her car. Mike, Anna, and the techs there treated her with respect and searched diligently for the needed part.

Review №47

I called “ the car doctor” and asked if they can change my breaks and rotators and see if anything else needs to be done on the car. They said yes “bring the car we will get it done today”. Dropped off the car and was told they will call me back. Nobody did. I called the first time they said they have not gotten a chance to look at it yet they will call me back. No call back. I called again after one hour. They still have not got the chance to take check it out Still. I said don’t Worry and don’t do nothing I will come and pick up my car it was almost 4:30pm and they are not going to fix it the same day anyway. They said ok. They called me Back few seconds after I hang up to tell me that the car somehow made it on the lift (I guess because that’s a 30$ fee they needed to make to diagnose the car). Bottom line they Wasted my day, my car was not fixed, and I paid 30$ for them to tell me what I brought the car to get fixed for In the first Place.

I always trusted going there with my car they were honest and always told me exactly what needed to be fixed on my car never was told that I needed something done on my car and it didnt need it done. Always was given an estimate so I knew around how much everything would cost ahead of time. Anna and Mike and their staff were very nice and helpful and I would recommend to all my friends to go there to have their car serviced

Review №53

I was recommended to these guys for their honesty, prices, and great work. Not only did they deliver, but exceeded my expectations. I needed two tires and an oil change. They did a full inspection of the car and was honest about the results. “Most of it looks great. There’s a couple things you’ll need to address later but you’re definitely fine for now. To save money, if you or a friend know how, these other 2 things you can take care of.” They didn’t tell me something was wrong when it wasn’t, the the things they did find they have their honest opinion about, and they did the work well and quickly. I’ve never been to a mechanic I trust until now. Everyone I spoke with were genuinely nice which is also rare. Highly recommend.

This is the best possible place that you can take your car for service!! Occasionally, it may be costly to fix your car, but its worth every penny that you spend with car doc! Both mechanics there, Jeff and Matt not only do their job, but they also make sure that whatever theyre doing is totally correct and they care about what they are doing and they care about the customers!! Also, its always nice to see Anna in the office with her smiling face and if you dont understand something about what theyre doing to your vehicle Mike the other owner will explain it to you on the computer so you understand or will actually take you outside when the car is in the garage and have you look at the car and explain exactly what is it going on!! Car doc is the best!!😀😀

After visiting family in Venice, my A/C went out on our return trip home to Melbourne, FL. Called Car Doc from the road & Mike answered, told us to turn around & he would take care of us. The very next day, Anna, Mike & their team, had us back on the road, all fixed up, cooled off & happy to be heading home again! Honest, kind, caring & reliable. We love Car Doc on the Island!! Thank you again for your service & smiles!

Goal: find a Volvo repair person that isn’t a dealership (who knew Volvo’s had special everything)Win: Car doc of VeniceAfter much looking for somebody to repair my Volvo’s A/C came across this wonderful business.

To begin with Car Doc on the Island is at a great location in Venice! They are knowledgeable, courteous, and very efficient at what they do! My ABS light was on and I needed a diagnostic test. I was impressed by the mechanic (Dylan) first taking my car for drive before running the test. Toni in the office assisted as I was even given a full explanation of the repair while my car was up on the lift. It was great to actually see what was entailed for the repair while Dylan and Toni explained why the back wheel hub/speed sensor needed to be replaced. Im appreciative and grateful for their service and honesty! thank you Car Doc!

Have been with the car doc since 2016 and have NEVER been disappointed. Fabulous owners and they all treat you like family. Very involved in the community and they take pride in their work. If, by some strange reason you are not pleased, they will work with you to make you happy! Cant say enough about them! Coming from Massachusetts, we wondered if we could find someone we trusted. After a few hits or misses, we were given the name of the Car Doc and the trust was immediate! Do yourself a favor and call for an appointment. You wont be disappointed!

I have been taking my car to the Car Doc for 14 years. If you are looking for a mechanic/business that you can trust, that offers excellent customer service and provides a pleasant atmosphere, then Car Doc on the Island is your answer. A super bonus is that they make “house calls.’ That’s right, they will pick up and deliver your car. I am a senior citizen and have benefited from this free customer service many times. Thank you Mike and Anna at Car Doc on the Island for your professionalism, warmth and kindness. I hope I can keep coming another 14 years.

The BEST ever as far as I am concerned with Customer Service - so refreshing in this day and age. I had two different occasions with an issue with my vehicle and both times they were there (even keeping the office open on my first issue) after 5 to make sure I was taken care of.Extremely professional, courteous, making sure the end result is 150% before walking out the door.Once my vehicle is out of warranty, this will definitely be the place I go for any repairs, etc.

Review №84

The folks at Car Doc were great! Very friendly and professional.Ive been driving alot from Va Bch to Venice in preparation for my move here. I was over due for a regular 3K service and requested an all over evaluation of the state of my car. They advised me of issues they found to be safety concerns. It also appeared some factory maintenance services may not have been performed by my previous service provider. So I called them on the spot and a rep reviewed my entire service history which confirmed what Car Doc had suspected. Car Doc showed me the areas on my car and explained why they suggested these services be done. No sales pressure just wanting to educate me should I decide to proceed with having them completed. Needless to say, it made sense to let Car Doc do the necessary services. My mind is at ease knowing my vehicle is safe. Thank you Car Doc!

I have had the occasion to need the services of the CarDoc on several occasions over the past 5 years and I am happy to tell you that Mike, Anna and their crew go above and beyond what you would expect them to do. Mike, on two occasions, came into work on my car on Saturday (his day off) to help me out when i needed it. He is extremely fair in his pricing and I am very grateful to have found a shop with their honesty and integrity. I have no issues in highly and warmly recommending the CarDoc. Thank you Mike and Anna.
