This company is honest, Even if they fail in someway or the mechanics fail in someway, They take accountability. They are good people and I appreciate them.
I’m going through cancer treatment and my car decided to break down. A friend called to make an appointment and we had it towed last night. They started work right away on my Kia. By the end of my workday today, my car was up and running again. I’m incredibly grateful and will be using them again. I will also be recommending to anyone who needs a great mechanic. Thanks again.
Ever since being a student down at FIT, Ive had trouble with my car a couple times. When bringing it down to the shop, Lisa was super helpful and straightforward when she told me the issues of my car. I recommend any other students to visit their shop if they encounter car trouble, they don’t disappoint!
I can’t ever fully express how much I appreciate all of their help and support of my FIT student with all his car issues (from simple oil changes and brakes to larger repairs). Lisa always keeps me in the loop (I am out of state), they work to a fair price and keep at it to get everything right. It is great to find a local shop that cares about their business and the community. Could not be happier the FIT parent board recommended this shop!
Had an overheating issue on a 2016 Chrysler 200 and dropped the car off on a Sunday, putting the keys in their lockbox. Called them the following day to let them know I had dropped it off, and they said they were already working on it. The problem (bad thermostat & housing) was diagnosed by Tuesday, and the repair was completed by Wednesday at a fair and reasonable price. Picked it up on Wednesday and haven’t had any issues since repaired over a month ago. Super quick turnaround & professional service done at a fair price. I’ll be recommending this shop to anyone who needs a repair or general maintenance.
My wife and I were down to one car , so we limped from Cocoa to Melbourne, first dropping off my wife at work , then drive to Classic Automotive where Lisa Had Eon diagnose the problem, I had no option but to wait , however these folks are great! Not even an hour later I was back on the road with our car running like a top !
They are a throwback to a time when people had pride in their work, and will not sell you on what you do not need. and super fair on what they charge, if you have any issues with your car or truck we highly recommend Wayne and Lisa’s
Update : 5-5-2022
We had what we thought to be a terminal situation with our 96 Ford Ranger over the last three days, however Wayne and Lisa have a never say die attitude and will try everything possible in order to meet a customers needs.
Lisa diagnosed the electrical issue and for the second time saved my work truck from the salvage yard!
We are beekeepers and even though only a small time cottage industry, this kind of work ethic is greatly appreciated!
Their prices are incredibly fair and they will never try to sell you on repairs you do not need, in fact they will let you know if you do not need something done.
Best repair business around by far !
Thanks again Wayne and Lisa and our bees thank you !🐝🐝🐝🐝♥️
Went here on a recommendation because we have a '69 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Communication was not good. Had a list of items to be done on our classic. Had to ask repeatedly and make numerous reminders about what I wanted done. In the end, it didn't all get done and took longer than initially stated. In and around the shop is a mess. Won't go back.
Thank You Lisa!
My daughter’s 2016 Jeep Renegade engine would not turn over to start. She is from NJ attending college in Florida and did not know of any reputable auto shops in the area. I reached out on her college parent page for Florida Tech and Classic Auto was highly recommended by numerous student’s parents. The parents were all right! Owner Lisa Locke went out of her way to jump my daughter’s car in the parking lot and looked at it the following day to determine if it was the alternator or the battery. Once she determined it was the battery and the battery was fully charged she sent her on her way with the piece of mind it would not stop running again. About a year prior while there was construction on campus my daughter had multiple holes in her tires from nails at the construction site. We did not realize until this week she took the car to Lisa at Classic Auto to have her tires repaired. Lisa made sure her tires would be safe to drive on from Florida to NJ. Highly recommend Classic Auto!
Sent my daughter (student at FIT) here to have them check her brakes. They replaced them and did great work at a very good price. They communicated well with me (I am out of state) and sent a pic of the wear on the pads. Would recommend them to anyone needing vehicle service.
I was having some issues with my Chrysler Town and Country. I called first thing in the morning and they told me to bring it right in and they would take a look. They looked at it right away, determined the problem and fixed it. The mechanics and owners were very knowledgeable and professional . They explained to me what was wrong and what I needed and their prices were fair and reasonable! I would highly recommend Classic Automotive Repair.
My wife and I have never had a problem with them but this time I called about an estimate on shorting turn signals/hazards lights and got nothing but rudeness. We've used them for years and have never been treated this way. I hope they fix this problem because they are really great machanics.
Highly recommended!! Honest people and fair pricing! They go over and above to help you get on your way. We went to Dealership thinking because of the warranty we had to. Dealership was going to charge me $1450 to fix my cars control arm and also said the struts needed to be replaced for $920. I contacted Classic Automotive for a second opinion as they work on all of our other cars. $599 later, they fixed the vehicle and new struts weren’t necessary!!! Thanks Classic Automotive!!
WOW!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Classic Automotive!! Our son attends college in Melbourne (MANY hours from home). His car started giving him issues. Many other FL Tech parents recommended Classic Automotive, so without hesitation, my son took his car there. Not only did the make time for him, they fixed the issue instantly and with little cost. Classic Automotive was a lifesaver and helped our young adult son get his car back and running in no time. Without a doubt, they are a top notch business!!
Highly recommended. My friend told me about this shop and after I took my car one time, it's the only place I will take my vehicle. Good family that does great work! If you want honestly then go the Classic Automotive!! A+
FINALLY I have found auto shop owners I trust! Having a 19 year old SUV, I'm guessing there are plenty of opportunities to "find" this-and-that "needing" to be fixed. Never has that happened with the folks at Classic Automotive. Knowledgeable, efficient, reasonably priced! THANK YOU, Classic Automotive!
I have been a customer of Wayne and Lisa for 25 years. Their reputation is built on their honesty, loyalty and compassion. Honest hard working family who truly cares about their customers and friends. Its hard not to build a relationship with such an amazing family who looks out for everyone...including our community! The donations and charity work they contribute is a blessing to many. Thank you Wayne and Lisa for all you do! I'm up for an oil change...see you soon! ❤
It’s hard to find honest dependable people when it comes to auto repair especially being a single woman. People often try to take advantage of that! Hands down this is the best place to take your vehicle for repair. Honest... straight forward and dependable! I take my vehicle and all three of my daughters’ vehicles here and wouldn’t go to anyone else!! Thank you for always being there for us!!
These guys have always been good to me. I once sold them a car that the transmission had gone out in. They looked it up and realized there had been a recall on that car just for the transmission. They took the car, had transmission replaced, and called me to tell me I could have it back if I wanted! They could have not said a word and sold the car for way more than I sold it to them for. Talk about honesty!!! I never would have known! I’m happy to say my 85 year old grandmother has the car now. Excellent service and best prices around!
I told him my price range and he agreed, then later came back with a total of $178 more. When I asked him why, I was told to leave in an extremely rude manner because I was upsetting him. Very unprofessional and down right crooked, I wouldn't even recommend them to fix a flat tire.....
Outstanding!
We just moved from Colorado Springs to Palm Bay. Four hours north of arriving our A/C blew out. I went to our local real estate broker, Marcie Bolt, asking if there was anyone both trustworthy and reasonable; she suggested Classic without hesitation. They diagnosed the problem immediately, had my parts in the next morning and repaired the car. They found another broken item while working on it, but instead of replacing the item and charging me more, they simply fixed it!
There are probably other honest folks out there, but I hate risking testing other places when I now have someone who is reliable and trustworthy.
You can save the flashy exteriors for someone who wants to throw money to the wind, Wayne & Lisa are my go-to from now on.
**** FANTASTIC SERVICE *****
I had an issue pop up after hours so I called as soon as they opened (0700)
I had the truck there by 0725
It was on the lift by 0730
I told Wayne I needed to be at work by 1200 if at all possible; I Uber'd home
Lisa called me at 1000; work complete; I Uber'd back
Cost was over $130 LESS than expected!!!!
I was out the door by 1030. Great people, great work!
***** HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICE *****
Classic Autimotive -Lisa and Wayne went above and beyond to help my daughters get back to Jacksonville when their car broke down. The great customer care, service and expertise was more than I could ask for. The time they took to explain to the twins their cars’ maintenance ,what happened and why and how to fix it was fantastic.It was great to give the girls this knowledge base so the could feel more Secure in traveling and not as scared of something happened in the future while on the road was priceless.We will always use them in the future for all of our car cares and I will recommend them to everyone e I know.
My first time using a mechanic in town and I went to the right place. I was referred to them by someone and I'm glad I went here. They're good, honest and affordable. I was pretty lucky because they were also super quick too! I plan on using Classic Automotive for any future repairs I may need.
Unlike the early post, Wayne and Lisa have always been courteous and professional to my husband and me. They have been servicing our vehicles and our children's vehicles for 10 years. We are always satisfied with the repairs and their prices are the best in town. They are very honest! We highly recommend them.
They TRULY stand behind their work. I recently had a newly installed fuel pump fail while I was traveling which stranded me out of town. *This was a bad part and not an issue with the repair.* When Lisa found out, she called me to say "Send her the bill and she would take care of everything!". That's service above and beyond in my book as she and Wayne really care about their customers!
As a former certified mechanic and auto dealership service manager (35 years ago), it's hard for me to "let go" and have someone fix my car, now that I can no longer do so myself. I am also very suspicious of the trade industry today. I was extremely happy with the results I received here. The repairs were done well before the time that I expected, at the price they quoted. There was no pressure to "up sell" other repairs. Good service - good pricing - pleasant to deal with.
EXCELLANT. i couldn't ask for better service and pricing. i was treated like a friend. i have been to other repair shops in the past and they have charged me very unfairly. a husband and wife own this shop and there prices are very resonable and they are honest. this to me is very important. i highly recommend this shop. they have won my business.
I thought they were honest. I had been their customer for 10 years. But recently I had to think otherwise sadly.
I took my van which had broadsided another car. The Classic Automotive (CA) gave me an estimate of $3,000. I paid the money thinking that the CA would restore it back to the original condition. However, they just restored on the outside, the hood, the bumper, and passenger side outer fender. not the broken inner fenders of both sides, the missing front undercover, and the windshield water reservoir. I found one after another things they didn't repair that they were supposed to do and things they broke as they were doing repairs. They broke a part of plastic cover for the screw that holds the hood on the passenger side. They broke the windshield water tank and pump. They muted the alarm system. They did replace the passenger side inner fender and the tank for which I had to pay for the parts. They did install the undercover. I asked them to replace the broken pump. They said it would take a week to get the part. It's been two weeks, they haven't call me yet. And if they do, I will not take my van there. I rather ask them to give me money to repair it somewhere else because when they repair a part, they break another part.
They were ok with mechanical repair, but not with body work.
I spent $3,000 to them. They just worked on the parts that are seen but not the parts unseen.
I hope they reimburse money for the repairs they didn't do so that I can have my van repaired at another shop.
