What clients say about Steve White's Auto Service Inc. in Palmetto Estates (FL)
The men at White's are always professional, helpful and all done in a timely manner for great prices--I know I can consistently count on these guys for honest assessments and work well done!
Rick was great. Came out and took the time to talk to me about my repair and had it in and out the same day. Will definitely return for future service.
Around the beginning of February this year (2026) my car decided to shut off completely driving across the bridge from Bradenton to Palmetto. I had no idea what was wrong, but I made it home and took some time to locate a shop around that could take a look at it. I found Steve Whites on Google, and they seemed to be a bit more “put together” (professional) than the other shops around Palmetto. They didn’t take long to diagnose the trouble, and offered a couple options for a fix. They were upnfront about everything as far as I could discern. I decided to take a shot with the dealer and having warranty cover the extensive repairs. Steve Whites towed my car back to my house and gave me all the paperwork so that I could present it to the dealer. They were fast, professional, and above all very friendly, courteous and extremely accommodating. Thisj is definitely a top notch business , and I know if I should ever have need for an automotive shop in the future, I won’t hesitate calling on Steve Whites.
I highly recommend Steve White's Auto Service. My daughter had the check engine light on and they evaluated all the likely issues. They were very specific as to what the costs would be. Ultimately, it's probably putting good money after bad. I greatly appreciate Rick and everyone else there for their honesty. I will definitely go there again.

Always a pleasure dealing with these friendly guys. I trust them and know that what they're telling me in honest and not scams. I have been going here for years and would highly recommend them. The services that I selected are services that I have used with these guys over the years.A wide range of knowledge and work.
Great job fixing my Chevy equinox in a timely manner and very clean and professional. A little expensive but vehicle maintenance is expensive but manageable
Came here with a vehicle issue and my man Rick was able to jump right on it and take a look. I had even had a small issue that I just ignored thinking it was going to be too expensive to even think about and Rick said to me "no way man, that's a super easy fix. Have it done in ten minutes" and got it knocked right out. Will take this guys advice on anything. Thanks team!
I took my Toyota Highlander into their shop because there was pulling in my vehicle. Took it somewhere else first in which they told me it was my rack and pinion.
Rick at Steve Whites gave me good news in that it was a bubble in my back tire. Got two new tires and it handles beautifully. I would recommend them to everyone. Very trustworthy.
Oh boy where do I start. If you are looking for an adequate place that actually fixes the problem when it comes to your car, don’t go to this place. I REPEAT DON’T GO TO THIS PLACE. My dad took his car to this cause he’s car was shaking and we thought it was the bolts on the tire even we brought a used tire for the tire that was flat a couple weeks ago, and someone there told me it was the metal plate when you press on the breaks for that used tire my dad bought a couple weeks ago. Someone there named Rick said to fix it it would be $ 538.89 I believe, and he would call my dad later cause he said it wouldn’t take a couple hrs to fix this issue and we would be back later with the money. Later when my dad came back to pick up the car, Rick said something broke when fixing the issue, and now because of the added damage the cost now to fix it is now $1,200. Like I know accidents happen, but my dad is kind of low on cash at the moment, and obviously my dad was not happy about having to pay that much. So he decided to take it to another mechanic that knows what they’ve actually doing and will actually fix the issue without drying our pockets. I’m sorry but are other places that are way better this place, but if you want to still go and potentially have your pockets drained than go ahead and go to Steve white’s auto service but personally we will never go to this place again that’s for sure.
So pleased! Got my car in for a dislodged engine shield and oil change, in and out in under an hour! No recommendation to replace the engine shield, just reattached the existing shield at no extra charge; inspected the car and gave me info on things that need to be done, brakes, brake fluid, tires and explained why they need to be done. Great service, I'll definitely be returning.
I couldn’t be happier with Steve Whites Auto Service, they have serviced four of our vehicles. They always go above and beyond, best part is we can trust what they say is true.! We will continue to bring our vehicles there, unless we need them to come tow it there again.lol They have rescued us a few times.
I have now had two fantastic experiences with Steve White’s auto repair! Not only was my car taken care of quickly, the mechanics were actually friendly and answered all my questions without judgement. The price was a little less than I was quoted at several other places. I will continue to go to Steve White’s for any of my car needs.
These guys were wonderful and fixed my BWM accessory belt same day when I was in a bind- I needed my car back and they squeezed me in and got it done in only a couple hours, good as new for a great price. Plan on using them in the future- great service, professional and up front.
Rick is a non pressure guy who lays out clearly the options you have about repairs and gives the pros and the cons and lets you decide what you want to do. Gives the costs prior to repairs so no surprises later! Very accommodating as far as your schedule. Will definitely be taking my car back to him as needed.
Great group of guys, always accommodating and service is quick.
I left my Buick Verano at the local Buick dealer for two weeks while we were on vacation to fix a squealing sound in the engine. They claimed they couldn’t duplicate the noise so they couldn’t fix the problem. Strangely enough, the day I picked the car up, it squealed right away. They said when I bring the car back, they would give me a 10% discount……sorry, not coming back.
So I stopped at Steve White’s, told them about the squeal. They knew what is was before even hearing the squeal. They fixed it that day and haven’t had a problem since.
First time and it was a pleasant, quick and painless experience. Reasonably priced for the labor and speed. I've passed this hidden Gem many times when I needed to get work done on previous occasions and my coworkers have mentioned how good they are and speak very highly about Rick. Wish I would've stopped by during those times. I will not hesitate to stop by if I'm ever in need again.
I was super impressed with this auto shop, they went above and beyond for me. I needed a ride to go back to work after dropping off my car and they took me! They fixed my car and didn’t take advantage of me. The mechanic Rick was super friendly and personable. I found my new permanent mechanic shop! Love this family owned business, they are honest people!!
Rick and the crew at Steve White’s auto service Are amazing. Labor is fairly priced and they always do things in a timely fashion. They always do a great job and go out of their way to make our family happy when we use their services.
I have been looking for an honest & reasonable auto repair shop for my 2012 Honda Sport Fit. My service light indicator popped on letting me know it was time for an oil changes as well as a transmission flush. I called a few places to get quotes-a friend recommended Steve White's so i decided to bring my car there. I was still apprehensive based on past experiences with other shops whenever they see a female bring their car in for service. One of their regular female customers were in the waiting room and I point blank asked her if they are honest and fair. She said very much so and that she had been taking her car in for years. I met with Rick and discussed what was needed. I did find a receipt showing my car had a transmission flush at 82K miles. When Rick and one of the other mechanics stated, your car does not need a transmission service since it has 118K miles on it. I knew then and there I had found the right shop for my car. Thank you so much Rick and team for taking good care of my car and me!
Brought my 2001 ML 320 to this shop to repair a brake fluid leak. I called at 6:48 am and my questions were answered promptly and politely. The service and staff were great. I picked up the car the same day. The price exceeded my expectations. I believe I found my new auto care center. Highly recommend!
I brought my car in for what I thought was going to be an easy fix. After looking into it, turns out it was a much bigger problem. Rick was very communicative and empathetic about the whole situation and made sure I knew that he was there to help. He took off a big portion of the labor costs to help me out and once I committed to fixing the problem, he got it done super quick. Very good experience and will definitely be back (hopefully not too soon…but I will be back lol)
The best!!! we finally have peace of mind after having some bad luck with other various mechanics in town yesterday, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma on the side of the road. I was able to bring my car immediately to them with no way they walked me through every step of what they were going to do they inspected my car from top to bottom to make sure it was roadworthy and safe for me and the dogs that I transport to be back on the road. They are knowledgeable, experienced trustworthy fast as lightning and all of their work is backed by warranties. Never have. I felt this good and sure after picking up my car from a mechanic I am over the top thrilled to have found Steve Whites Auto shop and crew!!!! They are the real MVPs and will be our forever mechanics!!!!!!
I refer everyone I can to these guys, they're awesome. They always get me in immediately when I call, and my car is usually done in a few hours, they never play games, only do what needs to be done, and at a very fair price. I know I'm getting better quality for less money compared to the mechanic I used to go to, and I thought THEY we're good. You will be so happy you found them, you won't need to go anywhere else. What more can I say....Steve White's is simply awesome!!! ❤️👍
