What clients say about Brad's Automotive and Marine LLC in Port Charlotte (FL)
Brad is a great mechanic, and definitely goes above and beyond! He completely replaced my Jeep Wrangler’s cams, rockers arms, lifters, oil cooler, and PCV valve. If you have the dreaded 3.6L Pentastar engine tick, look no further than Brad. Certainly wasn’t his first rodeo! I appreciated the text message updates with photos. The repairs were completed in a couple of days, and now the engine runs and sounds great. Very fair prices too! Will be going back to Brad for all my automotive needs. Thanks again!
Absolutely the worst mechanic I have encountered. I hired Brad to repair the front end damage that was caused to my BMW in an accident. Also, to replace a head gasket, transmission seal, and oil pan. When I received my car back (after almost A YEAR), there are so many issues from the work he did. First, the paint job is HORRIBLE! There are visible runs in the paint and the clear coat is peeling off. Second, it looks as if he glued the BMW symbol on with WOOD GLUE. Next, one of the headlights he put in has a broken bracket that clearly looks as if it was super glued back together. There are visible gaps where the fender and bumper meet the hood and there is maybe 2 bolts holding both the fender and front bumper in place. To top it off, there are ZIP TIES present when you look down through the engine. Also, my fender liners were not bolted down so they are shredded. Finally, my car is still leaking oil and when I took it to another REPUTABLE mechanic, they indicated that the transmission was NEVER sealed nor the head gasket replaced and the seal he put on the new oil pan was so screwed up, the only option is to replace it with a new oil pan. Not to mention the oil pan was supposed to be aluminum and it's not, its plastic. Therefore, this man was taking my money and not doing the work he was paid to do. I am a business owner myself and I refrain from giving companies bad reviews due to the fact that I know they are detrimental to the company, but I do not want anyone in our community to fall victim to this type of UNPROFESSIONAL service. In no way was the work on my vehicle done in a WORKMANS like manner.
Brad did absolutely amazing! Everything was completed in a timely and efficient way! He saved us over 2k and had us our Jeep back in less than 24 hours. He was honest about what was needed and what wasn’t needed and made sure to keep full communication by answering any questions we had even ones that didn’t relate to the issue at hand. We will definitely be back and would 100 percent recommend him to anyone who needs automotive help ! Thank you for everything you saved us!
Brad bailed me out of a problem with my 2015 Ford F-150 XLT trailer hitch receiver. He gave me an estimate to do the job and had me bring it over.
The problem was, I had replaced my rear bumper will an after market unit that looks good but the hitch receiver was defective (too small to accept my 2" hitch). And my hitch ball was stuck in it.
Brad had to modify and remove the after market integrated receiver by cutting it out to add clearance for the new Curt 12k lbs. 2" receiver. He installed the new receiver and cleaned everything up.
He is very knowledgeable, creative, and honest. It took him a lot longer than his estimate covered, but he wasn't going to ask for more... I had to suggest that he take more $$$. When was the last time that happened to you?
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone... He's that good!
Brad does amazing work and charges fair prices. I was referred by another customer of his and was not disappointed. He replaced the engine on our truck, that we bought from a local junkyard and discovered a hole in the radiator too. He replaced that for us as well and didn't charge anymore in labor! I'm so thankful for his help to our family and my husband's business!
I highly recommend Brad’s Automotive and Marine LLC to everyone who has problem in their cars. He really knows what he’s doing and is very considerate of what I wanted with my car. He fixed my brakes and replaced what needed to be replaced at a good price. He is very professional and is on schedule all the time. He treats every customer as if they are VIPs whatever the issue is be it bug or small. He also explains what is happening and what needs to be done. He helps you to help save your money! He is the mechanic to go to. Thanks Brad! You are a champion! I would give 10 stars our of 5. ⭐
That company was the only one that found and solved the problem with my van, the others told me what was convenient for them to charge me for repairs that did not solve anything. It is the best, I recommend it
When my car started overheating, I panicked and began looking for recommendations for an honest and affordable mechanic. Brad came highly recommended by more than one person that I spoke with. Within minutes of contacting him, he responded, listened while I explained to him what was wrong and before I knew it we were setting up a time for me to drop off my car the next day. I couldn’t believe how quickly he was able to fix my car, and I swear it runs better then the day I bought it. Not only is Brad affordable, but he is knowledgeable and answers all of your questions. He is a mechanic that truly cares about his customers. I would definitely recommend Brad to anyone looking for an amazing mechanic!!! I will definitely be using Brad for all of my car repairs and maintenance in the future.
My van broke down on me about two weeks ago, after trying different things, I reached out to Brad and not only did he answer me right away, he answered all of my questions, provided advice before even coming out, came to me with very short notice, and diagnosed my engine issue. He was very professional and polite! Even though my diagnosis wasn’t great news, he offered to help, and checked on me a few days later. I recommended his services already to my uncle and would use him any time I need assistance.
Brad did an excellent job repairing my car , timely , satisfied customer here ! Just moved to port Charlotte an I will trust no one else with my vielicles! He's reasonable on price and just all around a really good guy thanks Brad
