HQ Auto Center - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Kimberly Pestana: I had another mechanic try to rip me off and quoted me double for my repair. I went to Edgar and he took excellent care of me. He doesnt try to rip off women like some shops do. If you walk into a mechanic shop and theres a bunch of salesmen there, turn and walk out the door because theyre going to be highly priced and high pressure. I told Edgar he is going to get all of my business. I took a stack of his business cards and gave them to people at work. Highly recommend!!

5 /5 Sonja Earnest: So I was on my way home when I saw this place had a welding sign out front. I needed my side step repaired on my truck and took a chance that they could fix it, so I stopped and thankfully they took a look and said yes. The owner told me to stop by the next day and he would fix it. He was true to his word and did an excellent job and great price! I’m very grateful for their service! Thank you to HQ and their workers!

5 /5 Jason Troop: I was looking for a local alternative to the dealership, as I am off warranty and find they seem to pad their bottom line on service. Having seen HQ many times, living off Lockwood, I was happy to see their reviews were excellent and clearly dealt with an issue my truck was having with the fuel vapor system. Not only did Edgar, the owner, get me in on a Saturday morning, but his guys identified the location of the problem with a smoke test and updated me at every step. They found the issue involved a hose above the fuel tank, an area that normally would require dropping the tank-- several more hours of labor. One of the mechanics was small enough to actually place himself into the area where the hose was and access it. Once he did so, a part was picked up by Edgars father (family business) and I was all set and out the door by midday. The price was more than reasonable for time spent, parts, and work done, and everyone at the shop seemed happy to be there and enjoying their work. I know I will be using this shop again for keeping my truck on the road for years to come. Thanks Edgar and crew!

5 /5 Timothy Esarey: If I could give 10 Stars I would. I was in a bad spot with my minivan and they helped me out more than I could have asked for. They are extremely honest and helpful. Which are hard things to find in the automotive industry. I highly recommend them.
