I stopped into Pine Island Auto around 4:00 PM to make an appointment for an oil change, assuming they were closing soon. Instead, they said they could take me right away.
Halfway through, I realized I had forgotten my wallet and phone and couldn’t pay. Without hesitation, the owner said, “No problem, brother — I’ll send you a link and you can pay when you get home.”
It was one of the fastest oil changes I’ve ever had, and the service was excellent. The trust and professionalism meant a lot. A real breath of fresh air.
Highly recommend Pine Island Auto.
My car didn’t start. I called him for a jump and they came within 10 minutes later they followed me back to the shop and they put a new battery in and cut me back on the road. Great job guys.
Always helpful & friendly. They got my truck in a scheduled to replace the multifunctional wiper switch and fix a ground/battery charging issue. The work was completed & I got my truck back in time for my trip the next day. I would definitely recommend PI Auto!
The guys here are great! I’ve been here a couple of times now and I have received Five Star service both times! They are very accommodating, honest, fair priced and do quality work.
Bob and the team are extremely honest. I had a light come on, indicating that I needed new brakes. In the afternoon when the guys got around to it, they gave me a call to let me know that my brakes are still in excellent condition and let me know the percentage of life remaining on them. Honesty is a rarity these days and I will be getting all of my future work done at this shop. Thanks again Bob!
Bob and his whole team have been my saving grace these last 6 years since I’ve learned of his shop. He always has been honest with me about what he thinks should be done and is fair priced!!!
Most reliable, trust worthy mechanics I have ever had the pleasure of working on my vehicles. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They have a customer for life. I highly recommend them. Friendly, honest, and does great work
I brought my car in for AC service recharge and asked for an estimate call before the repair. I was initially told $170 before I dropped it off. The repair was done and I was NEVER called with a price. The owner was going to charge me $350 but when I asked why he never called with an estimate he knocked the price down to $200. I went to pick the car up and after I paid he told me my future business was not wanted and take my car somewhere else. I live on the island and after telling people my story I’ve been told this garage is very shady and has unscrupulous business practices. Stay Away!
Our new mechanics. Very professional and economical. Quick repair and great communication.
I hope we can find someone as dependable and reliable in our new town.
Thanks Bob and crew. And the cats
I highly recommend them
Over the last few years or so I've had a couple of major issues arise in the middle driving up and down the East Coast Bob and his crew were very accommodating and got me up and running in 24 hours every time I won't use anybody else
As of November 2016 Tim and his mechanics are an asset to our small community. We have two trucks that Pine island Auto care has worked on. Unlike some of the other in town repair places they take the time to do the repairs correctly the first time. We trust our maintenance and repairs from this business. They will let you know if they discovered any other problems or urgent repairs.
After Hurricane Ian update November 2022: brother Bob ,Pine Island repair made it back to Pine Island just a few days after the hurricane. He had no utilities then but is back in operation now. He was already patching tires at a time when our only bridge was out. Even under extreme pressure have never seen him visibly upset. We should support our Pine Island Auto repair as part of our community.
We have lived on the Island for 16 years and unfortunately had never patronized this shop. We won't go anywhere else in the future. They supplied us with a Local Tow Service (Abel's Towing) and had out car towed and and repaired for what I think was an extremely low price. The best thing about it was no eye rolling or chastising about our DIY efforts!!
Thank you for everything!
Real great people who are not there to sell you stuff you do not need, let my dead truck stay overnight after fixing my tires so i could charge the battery overnight and get it going. Plus, have a great cat inside thy rescued.
These folks were nice enough to donate to a fundraiser held to benefit veterans at the local VFW Post. I won their donation, which was a lube, oil and filter. They were open to working on my 1978 AMC Pacer. They did a great job on this. But what really set them apart from all the others who have worked on this car is that they pointed out to me that my tires were from 1999... and they were advising me this as a safety issue. Not to sell me tires!! Regrettably, they are really too far away to get my business regularly, but I strongly recommend them!!
Outstanding service. They really went above and beyond replacing my boat trailer tires, which they had in stock. I made the call from out of state and they did a same day on-site service call for a fair price. I will definitely be using them in the future.
My SUV Water Pump blew and AAA Towed me to PIA Bob,s Shop . Not many choices here on the Island!. I had not used Bob before so Reviued His shop on Google. Many good reviews. So that's where I towed it to.that was Thursday. Within 4 hours Bob called with the problem and quoted ma price.and said the truck would be ready to pick up on Friday afternoon. Bob called me at 3.pm and said parts arrived late and didn't see how they were going to finish the repairs today by 5pm. I told him I had to be in Tampa ON Sunday. Bob and his Mechanica worked 2hrs over time to accomadate me. So who else would you use for yourAuto Mechanic . Thanks Bob and your team.
Never before have I encountered such a group of honest, intelligent, professional and genuinely good people. I went back a second time and got the same if not better service!
Pine Island Auto Care are light years ahead of any shop I have dealt with and you will be amazed as well. Great Job once again Pine Island Auto Care!
We are from out of state but spend six months on the Island every year. At home, for the last twenty years, we have used a family run service center that has been in business since 1965, they provide excellent service.
The first time we needed our vehicle serviced on the island, Pine Island Auto Care was recommended more than any other. Being loyal, we are reluctant to admit it, but we find Tim, Bob & staff to be better than our home service center. The professionalism, courtesy, knowledge and helpful suggestions are complimented by their more than fair prices and business practices. It is genuine pleasure to deal with this business.
The owner of this shop is a great person, willing to help his neighbors when they need help.
He worked with me to solve my locked up boat trailer wheels, when no one else knew what to do, and he did it at no charge .
He simply stated when you need an oil change or a battery come see me.
Great Guy...
