What clients say about Maxi's Mechanics Auto Repair & Service - Riverside in Jacksonville (FL)
Highly recommend. All the people there are car people, so chatting with them about that really gave me peace of mind, with great vibes too.
They are very transparent with what they are doing and the paid inspection/estimate is completely worth it. They have a very comprehensive process with pictures and evidence of inspection that you can see and understand why or why not you should repair something or not. They were not pushy at all with things I needed to repair, and gave me a choice on if I wanted them to do it or not.
I came in mainly for a clutch repair and I left with a repaired clutch, felt like it was brand new car. I had some other stuff done as well and after all the work, my car felt brand new, with no problems in it whatsoever.
Their estimated completion time was on point too, so I didn’t have to reschedule any rides or PTO. Their pricing is very fair and close to book hours. I am gladly paying for the expertise and established process. This wasn’t anything I wanted to take shortcuts with or have a McGuyver solution for this service.
Overall this shop has great vibes and great work. Will definitely take my car there next time I need work done that I can’t do myself.
Always super sweet people when I come in and they only recommend fixes on your car if it really is necessary and give a good time stamp on things that aren’t urgent but will need to be taken care of in the near future. They send you a detailed review with pictures of your car before they call and offer free Ubers home and a reward system. Thank you everyone at Maxi!
I’ve had nothing but the best experience taking my car to Maxi’s Mechanics! The guys are great and very thorough - I love the detailed breakdown of their services which include photos. Overall I think it’s an excellent shop and feel like my car is good hands. Thank you guys so much!
Nick and Brandon at Maxi are the absolute best. I’ve been taking my cars there for years. They are just so helpful. They email and print pictures, give reasonable timelines and prioritize work so you can budget appropriately. They are honest and always so helpful. Best car place in town!
Mechanic did great job diagnosing and finding out what the issue was with my vehicle. It was a little wait but i can for sure you they do clean professional work. Go check them out if u need something done correctly.
Great experience. Nick was very customer service oriented, informative and knowledgeable. I had a radial flat and they fit me in during the day and repaired it to my full satisfaction. I would recommend them.
Best experience with an auto repair shop ever. I have a 2015 Jeep renegade, and it was difficult to find a non-dealership local shop to help with major repair.The folks at Maxi were very informative and made sure to keep me in ln the loop with everything during the process. They sourced parts, and delivered excellent and fast service at a reasonable price. I will continue to get regular maintenance here going forward and recommending to all my people to do the same! 10/10
I am a repeat customer and am impressed by the honesty and attention to detail these guys employ in each job. Honest car mechanics are hard to come by, but I can count on these guys!
Never have I ever been excited to take my car to the shop until I came here. I trust these guys and their customer service is top tier. It is a relief knowing my car is safe and in good hands. Thanks Maxi!!!
Maxi did a great job fixing my AC in my car! They were quick, fairly priced, and Nick and Brandon were extremely kind helping me figure out the solution to my problems. They also have a free rewards program that helped the cost
The crew at Maxi's gave me Excellent Service. I learned all about what services were available. I got the one that cleans
all buildups in my trucks oil systems etc. It runs so much better. Manning answered all my questions about my Tacoma. Thanks Maxi
Discovered them this morning in a search to get my battery replaced. A few other places quoted me similar numbers. Saw Maxi's on the map and ran by on a whim to see if they could do it. Not only did they get me in right then and there, but the quote was $100 LESS, then every other place i tried. (European cars, right?) My car had a new battery within 5 hours and i was on my merry way. They asked if i wanted a health inspection for my car. When i declined they took no for an answer and respected that. Pushy sales people are the bane of my existence (especially in car repair) and they were nowhere near that. Will definitely be taking not only my car back here, but my girlfriend's as well. Thanks Maxi's!
Had a nail in my tire, they were able to see me within a few hours of calling. The tire I needed was hanging on the wall behind reception. They pulled it down and immediately replaced my tire. Was in and out in about 20 minutes. Didn’t try to upsell me on anything. Fair price for one new tire with labor -$130. Will be back , thank you Brandon
I appreciate the honesty at Maxi! They never tried to upsell. They contact me quickly to let me know what’s going on and then promptly complete the repairs. I highly recommend them.
Two stars because staff was “friendly” throughout the process. I brought my car in for 3 different concerns (ABS light, check engine light and oil leak), understanding that this was too much to accomplish in one shop visit I was assured that for a diagnostic fee of $195 they would be able to look into two out of the three issues. I was also assured that I would get my car back same day since I dropped it off mid morning. 5 hours go by and I get a call saying they are just starting to inspect it and I now have to choose one out of the three problems to get inspected since it’s going be too time consuming to look at both. Also, if I wanted both issues addressed that day I would have to pay an additional $195. This was not what was agreed upon when dropping off the car but okay. Another couple of hours goes by and I get another call explaining the problem is too time intensive to diagnose with a single diagnostic fee which apparently only covers one hour of labor (not outlined anywhere in the contract or verbally). At this point my car has been there all day, it’s closing time and I’m being told that I paid $195 and may not even have a diagnosis for one out of the three problems I have. After a lot of going back and forth the shop agrees to continue to diagnose the problem the next day and I still have to leave my car overnight which was not initially agreed upon. To be fair, the shop representative agreed to stay after hours so that I may pick up my car but I would still have to pay the $195 and have no answer to my problem. The next day I get a call saying they “believe” they found the problem and the repair would cost $200, which is equal to their hourly rate. However, to confirm the problem they suggested an additional 3 hours of diagnostics that would cost $195 per hour. Going with the further diagnostic option would cost a total of $780 in diagnostic fees alone and would not cover repairs so I opted for the $200 probable repair option. Again, I was assured this would be completed by end of day and if it wasn’t I would get a call explaining that it would take longer and to bring it back another day. When I arrive to the shop at 5:30 (closing time) they are still not finished with the car and I end up waiting at the shop for another 90 minutes only for them to tell me the repair they tried did not work. They agreed to drop the $200 repair fee and offered for me to bring it in the following business day where I would “only” have to pay an additional $85 in diagnostics for the first half hour of labor. In the end, the shop did love to express how they invested more than the allotted hour of time into my car but I still walked away paying the $195 diagnostic fee with no diagnosis to any of the issues why I brought my car in. Overall, due to the poor communication, delays, lack of results and unexpected potential costs I will not be retuning and recommend others to look for another mechanic.
Nick, Brandon & the team were amazing & completely transparent with the issues going on with my Jeep Compass! The issues were diagnosed quickly & repaired within 3 business days, one of the parts had to come from the west coast because of the car model, it was no fault of Maxie’s’. I cannot express enough, as a single woman, how trustworthy & honest this team is! Highly knowledgeable & very competent. The photos & documentation sent to me via text, showing the level of detail done on my Jeep is why I will be a customer for life. They are also the kindest! Thank you so much Maxies!
After being told rear axles and parts to rebuild a rear axle were unavailable or on back order by two different shops. I went to google immediately and found shop that was familiar with jeep wranglers….. Maxi’s Mechanics Auto Repair & Service popped up. I called them and they said they could help. I had my jeep towed out there on a Saturday, Sunday we discussed my options and Monday a used rear axle was located and ordered Thursday afternoon my vehicle was ready. I picked it up today and it road like it was brand new. NO COMPLAINTS HERE. They did a great job.
Brandon and Sean did an amazing job keeping me updated through my repair process. They shared with me photos and descriptions of the issue through, what I like to call, the internet. They kept me up to date, and were able to complete the service within the same day. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for a great mechanic, to definitely consider Maxi!
Nick and Brandon at Maxi Riverside were so wonderful. They explained all recommendations and the work was done quickly. The whole process from scheduling to picking up after repairs was seamless. They even arranged an uber for me when I dropped off for repairs. Highly recommend!
I always have a wonderful experience with this business. I trust them completely and feel confident that they only recommend what is necessary while providing the best value.
Recently, I dropped off my keys before opening hours and noticed they were holding a team meeting. I appreciate their professionalism and can tell by their interactions that they value their employees and prioritize customer satisfaction.
Thank you, Maxi Auto, for creating an environment where I know my safety is a priority and for never pushing unnecessary services on me.
Maxi Auto Repair Shop is the most reliable and convenient auto shop I’ve been to in Jacksonville.
They are consistently excellent in their work, and every service is worth every penny they charge. Unlike other shops, they’ve never tried to upsell unnecessary repairs or services. They truly live by the motto on their wall: “We Diagnose, You Decide.” They thoroughly assess any issues and empower you to make the final decision about your vehicle.
This morning, I brought my car in after another shop had messed up my air filter. Maxi Auto not only fixed the other shop’s mistake but also didn’t charge me a single dollar for it. That’s true customer service!
If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They are reliable, dependable, and consistent—Maxi Auto Repair and Service is the only place I’ll trust with my car in Jacksonville!
The guys at the Maxi Riverside shop were professional and knowledgeable, and were able to resolve an electrical issue with the airbag system in my car that other shops hadn't fixed. The cost was a bit more than expected but took care of the problem so the airbag system is working properly now. They were great about communicating by phone and text to give updates on the status of the repair and when the car was ready for pickup, and sent a report with photos of the mechanic working on the car. Also arranged an Uber ride to get home and back to the shop, which was very helpful. Overall a positive experience, the shop seems well run and they appear to want to do a good job for their customers.
My car engine light came on and started sputtering. Luckily Maxi was close to my work and was able to take me in quickly. They quickly diagnosed the issue and had my car fixed fixed and back to me within 24 hours. Not only that but they provided me a ride back to work after dropping my vehicle off. Brad and the rest of the staff were extremely nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this shop if you need Car repairs.
My husband and I took my 2018 Chevy Camaro to get looked at. The service was excellent from moment one. They first test drove the car with my husband in it so they could get a clear picture of what we were experiencing. They said they don’t like charging people unnecessarily! That won me over because we have all had bad auto mechanic experiences! They did a full and thorough inspection and found the issue. They couldn’t fix our issue because it was something we needed from the dealership. It still was the best service we have ever had at a mechanic shop!! I HIGHLY recommend them!!!
Great service and team. Sean diagnosed the issue in my truck within 30 seconds of hearing the noise and was able to fix within 24 hours! Brandon the gentlemen at the front desk did a good job guiding me through the process and answered all my questions. The manager Brad worked with me to help provide great service.
In addition to diagnosing the main problem… Maxi Auto Repair provided a very thorough inspection and recommendations for other items/repairs that will be required in the future. The print out included parts and labor cost itemized separately so that they can be budgeted and done individually. It was a pleasure to visit the shop and meet Brad, Brandon, and Sean… greeting, conversation, and answered my questions in detail. Made my decision very easy to allow them to take care of my vehicle. I will be going back to keep my vehicles serviced and repaired.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I just can’t. I’m from Colorado on vacation and my motor died. Had car towed here and given the bad news. Decided to junk car and when I went in to clean it out the young men inside, Jose and Chris went above and beyond to help me. Comforted me when I fell apart and listened with care and concern. If you need a good auto repair place, you won’t go wrong using Maxi. It is Veteran owned and operated and was one big factor in deciding to use them in the first place. I am not disappointed!
We broke down on the 95 on our way to Miami on a Sunday morning. Looked online for a repair shop and called Maxi on Monday morning. Spoke to Daniel and he was very helpful. He understood that we were on vacation and he put a priority on our repair. They got the car early Tuesday and they had it fixed by noon! I highly recommend them if you need anything done on your car. We thought it was the fuel pump but the mechanic was sceptical. Turns out he was right! They did a thorough check up of our car to make sure everything else was fine. Very much appreciated!
