Fantastic shop! Took great care of us, did everything we asked, but didn't find surprise "problems" to rack up the price. Very friendly - highly recommend!
This business was fantastic to work with. We were here visiting in Gainesville for a football game and our engine seized. Our vehicle was towed here and they were so kind to store our vehicle at their location and provided us great feedback on what happened. Great customer service and extremely helpful!
These guys are the best. They’re honest, patient, accommodating, educational, fair, fairly priced, and very transparent throughout the process. The only thing I’m not in love with is their location; they’re a bit out of the way for me, but geez, it’s such a small price to pay, and I’m happy to pay it.
I won’t bring my car anywhere else for general maintenance/repair.
Price was a little higher than expected, but the guys did a great job and squeezed me into their busy schedule. You get what you pay for, so the little extra did not matter to me, I have peace of mind that my repair was done correctly.
Shout out to Nick, my mechanic, who assessed what the issue was with my car, then executed the repair, all in a timely fashion. Thank you Nick! I appreciate you ensuring that we get a better performing car (the car is more gas efficient now) and is reliable. Shout out to the young lady at the front office. I appreciate her maturity, customer service, and her professional demeanor.
The service Josh and his team at Dad’s Auto Repair is nothing short of exemplary. They are fair, honest and reasonably priced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs their vehicle repaired. It’s worth noting they do an excellent job working on classic cars. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!
My husband and I had some bad luck with cars over the past week...Words can't even express my appreciation for Mike and his team. They got the truck in within a day, got the problem diagnosed and fixed. I even asked for some extra work (oops, sorry) and they graciously agreed. Just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Awesome service. Brought our vehicle in at 9am and had it back before 4pm. Did not charge an arm and a leg for the repairs. Will definitely use them again.
I had been trying for almost 3 weeks to get my windshield replaced with Safelite, after talking on the phone with these guys once they had my new windshield there that night and installed the next morning! Fantastic service, would definitely recommend
Best auto MECHANICS I've ever come across in Gn'v ,Fl ever ! THEY saved me a boatload of money in not PRETENDING to fix things that don't need FIXING! ! THEY practice the best advice I'd ever gotten from an old hardware salesman yrs ago ( if it ain't broke don't mess with it ) ! THE guys at Dads are good ole boys if there EVER were any and they know their stuff !!! John Davies
This place is the best shop in town. The only place I could take any of my vehicles to and know it will be done right. They were even able to fix other problems with my truck that another local shop broke while "fixing it" last time. Hands down best team.
I lucked up and had my truck towed to Dad's Auto 4 years ago right after I moved to Gainesville as a college student. They treated me fair, were not over-priced, got it working quickly, and were very friendly. Ever since then, I've had the same experience. It's like the small-town mechanic I was used to back home.
Huge thanks to Dad's Auto Repair, Duane McMahan, Josh Martin, and Mike Martin and team for coming through once again. My water pump went out on my truck and I needed it turned around quick before the weekend. They knocked it and saved me time and money! Whether its your daily driver or your antique show car, Dad's Auto is the one stop shop that will take care of your ride.
These guys are awesome, do great work, very friendly, always charge much less then expected and even offered me some barbecue when I came to pick up one of my trucks. They've got my business from here on out!
Great prices, service, and people. I was skeptical at first but they fixed my car within one day at a fraction of the cost other shops quoted me. Would highly recommend and will be returning in the future.
Great customer assistance, everything done in a timely manner. I even got a ride home while they worked on my car. And the best part is they are super affordable.
Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and honest staff with great prices. They got my electrical issues solved and my car running again in no time. I will definitely be taking my car to Dad's Auto again next time I need something done.
As a female, I've had multiple mechanics in Gainesville try to pressure me into unnecessary upgrades or "preventative" services. But Dad's Auto has always been honest, fair, and reasonable with me. Highly recommend!
