What clients say about Island Garage in Sanibel (FL)
I was on the island and came back from the beach to a flat tire. I am so glad I came across this garage. They were able to quickly put air in my tire and were so kind. They saved me a huge headache of getting a tow truck! Highly recommend getting air from here- best on the island! :)
This 1930s throwback “garage” is a real hoot! Get ready to step back in time (to what one might imagine a “gasoline alley” shop to have been.) With a punctured tire I needed a plug. The only place on Sanibel/Captiva that will plug a tire. “Mature” seasoned gentleman, right out of Central Casting filled the role of curmudgeonly mechanic…and plug the tire he did. Very grateful for the plug and the experience.
We were on vacation for 2 weeks and the last week of vacation my explorer decided to break right before our drive back to Ohio. We called and got my suv into island garage that day and Terry was able to fix it! Driving home it made zero noise, rumble, shake or vibration it was as silent as can be, I drove perfect! Island garage and Terry really saved the day and my car he made sure everything was done right and honest for mine and my children's road trip home and I could not be more thankful for him!!!
Not sure who you having towing a white BMW suv today on a flatbed truck, older white guy, but he was driving like an a**hole on six mile Cypress today. Swerving lanes, speeding, honked his horn several times then pulled up within literal inches of the car in front of him at the red light. Never been by your shop, and never will be with employees like this driving around. Not good for image that's for sure.
Tried to get an oil change. Had an appointment at 8:00am and was told when I made the appointment it would be a couple of hours. Got there and was told it would be done in the afternoon. On top of that, the gentleman was rude. Poor service. Save yourself time and make the trip into Ft. Meyers.
Family run garage with very friendly people. Had my oil changed with new oil filter and air filter. I called Tuesday and got in the very next day. I couldn't be more pleased with their service.
Made appointment for a simple tire repair. When I got there was told to leave the car for a day or two and they will get to it. By then I’ll be on an airplane going home. Nice vacation experience! Go some where else if you need service! Chevron just up the street was awesome!!!
Cold AAA they sent this garage out to my rescue for a lockout service whole process took less than 30 minutes including the phone call to AAA very quick and efficient I know from experience you still roadside assistance myself these guys knew exactly what to do
Genuine good people. Work on vehicles is EXPENSIVE no matter where you go. It is extremely hard and tedious work. He is no more expensive than anywhere else off of the island though his expenses on the island are much more than if he was in Fort Myers or Cape Coral. Keep up the good work guys.
Got stranded on Sanibel when our truck died. As a AAA member, I called roadside assistance which usually provides fast, efficient service. They told me Island Garage would be there within 45 minutes to tow is back to Cape Coral. After several more calls to AAA to inquire why the tow truck hadn't arrived yet, they finally showed up over 2 hours later. The driver said he was late due to a miscommunication. Pretty poor customer service, especially when we were going to be paying the tow company over $100 for the tow since we lived more than 5 miles from where our vehicle broke down.
Called this place up to see if I could use their air compressor to blow up my raft , the gentleman that answered the phone seemed like he was annoyed with it and he just rudely hung up on me. Guess he doesn't like vacationers or tourist which is 50% or more of his business.
