What clients say about Red's Automotive Service in Ocoee (FL)
I had my starter replaced here just under two years ago. Unfortunately, the part failed early so I brought my vehicle back to the shop. They replaced the starter all for free as it was still under warranty and it was ready same day. They could have ripped me off or even charged me labor but they did not. Honest shop.
Called for service, they state full service, can't do a water pump a timing belt. Not really a real garage then.
this is a follow up to your comment, a FULL service implies you do it ALL, so either you are incompetent or just false advertising what you are capable of. it isn't like I asked for an engine rebuild, which requires a certain amount of expertise, a water pump and timing belt are BASIC MECHANIC SKILLS.
Fixed my rear main seat and haven't seen a single drop of oil since just communication on point and had my truck fixed sooner than expected super awesome thanks guys
Brought my car in recently for some AC repairs and had a fantastic experience. The owner and team were incredibly knowledgeable and honest with their recommendations. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the process. Pricing was very fair, and everything was handled quickly and transparently. Highly recommend!
Having been taking my car here for over a year and this is the best place in west orlando. The owner, his brother and their staff are top notch at diagnosing and giving advice. Great price, super transparent & communicative, very fast.
They helped me fix a minor problem the other day in the parking lot as they were closing so I had a car all weekend. Guys are literally the best.
Red was very professional in explaining the repair process of my car. It is a hybred so I was a tad anxious however his main mechanic Kumar knew everything and assured me that they could fix it. There charges were very affordable and i didnt feel like they were ever trying to upsale me on parts or work i didnt need.
If you live in central florida its with the drive to have these guys work on your vehicle!!
We have been going here for car repairs for almost 20 years. We have never had an issue until recently. They had to install 2 different new sets of struts on my car and both times they made an awful noise. Red took the time to do additional research and ended up ordering a 3rd pair, different brand, and they work perfect. It took so long just in labor to fix the problem and he was genuinely concerned and made sure that I was taken care of. They are awesome! Thank you for the great service.
Red and Kamar are brothers that are Certified Master Mechanics. I have not once taken my car back for work that they performed. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are equally professional and kind. They are a God-find! ?
I highly recommend Red's Auto Service for car repairs needs. I've been twice since I moved to the area and every time Red has been quick, efficient, and descriptive in his explanations about what is going on with my car. The business always does what it can for my car, and if the car needs repairs that they don't do at their shop they're quick to recommend the next best course of action. I always felt like they had my best interests at heart, and they give me the honest situation of what is happening with my car. They're now my go-to mechanic!
I have used this shop several times during my 1 year stay in Ocoee and would recommend them to anyone.
Their prices are reasonable and they will tell you what needs changed and what has more life left in it - they won’t just blindly change it and charge you. Several items I thought needed repaired turned out to be good for several more months or didn’t need touched at all.
They also have a nice 2yr/24,000 mile warranty on repairs that’s valid even once I move back to Illinois. If the repair fails, I can get it fixed locally per the warranty provider at no cost to me.
They store their cars behind a locked fence also, which lowers the risk of any break-ins or theft for overnight repairs.
All-in-all, Red’s is a solid choice for anybody in the area.
Reds Automotive was the best shop I used in 23 years living in Florida very up front no nonsense repaired my now to be classic car. it drives like a dream. The best I Ocoee FL.
Honest mechanics who do great work. Good communication. Started taking my 2016 Silverado here after having issues with the dealer’s service dept. and have been very satisfied.
I'm new in town and my check engine light came on. Not having a mechanic yet, I searched the internet and found Red's. I decided to go there based on location and the positive reviews. They live up to the good reviews. I found them to be knowledgeable, honest and fairly priced. Will definitely go back when needed.
Been taking our vehicles to Red's for well over 30 years. The mechanics are true experts and they never seem to "do more work than necessary" to increase the charges. I HIGHLY recommend Red's Automotive!!
great people with great communication, experience and pricing. I was updated consistently and charged well below my initial quoted price. also topped my fluids and gave me advice like a family member would give to a loved one. I cant say enough about finding my permanent mechanics. God bless you guys!
Great service and honest work ethic. I never question work Red says is needed because he will also tell you when work isn't needed and not waste the money. Definitely one of the best automotive places to go to.
Went to Reds to get my car serviced after 30 years of seeing another mechanic. I was very impressed by the level of service. I will now be taking my car to Reds for hopefully the next 30 years of my life. Happy Holidays!
Brought my car in on two separate occasions, both times in a bind.. Red was able to get me seen right away, fix my issue and have it done quickly. Very honest and fair, which is a rarity when it comes to finding a mechanic.
I went there to repair my a/c but just to check where I had the leak the cost was $120 plus $29 the one cap missing in the hose. I had to go there three times to tell me that the compressor was broken.
Just for freon to the system $120 more without compressor installation.
VERY EXPENSIVE EVERYTHING seems to me , NEVER AGAIN BACK THERE.
Called Red this morning about a strange noise in my engine. He suggested I simply check the oil level. Oil low light did not go on so I anticipated a big repair bill. Red had enough experience with my engine thus the fix was taken care of over the phone. Local dealership had no idea what may have caused the noise and wanted $150 just to look at it. Oil change cost $46.
Thanks Red.
Red was great. I called his shop because he was the closest to where my car broke down. He knew exactly what was wrong with my car over the phone and when I got to the shop he was able to fix it right away and for very reasonable rate. Thanks Red!
I have been taking my Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Mercedes E550 to Reds for all of my maintenance. He and his brother Kumar are the best (period). They can diagnose any issue, even issues the dealership could not. They are professional, fair and above all honest. Their prices are more than reasonable.
My 9 year old Mercedes was feeling a little hot during the summer here in Florida - so I took it to the Merc dealership. They wanted $180 for an AC diagnosis.
I just happened to see a review for AC work on a Ford at Reds, and the reviewer spoke about them in glowing terms. So I called and made an appointment to bring in the car. I explained that the car had never had any AC service and Red and his team took a look at the car.
They called me to let me know the progress and ask me questions. In the end, all it needed was a "top-up" of Freon into the AC unit on the car - and the bill was less than $120!!!
The car came back in full working order, and the AC now cools - even when its 105-degrees outside. Guess where I'll be taking my Merc for servicing next time?
Really happy that I found out about this auto shop and the team there.
I have lived up and down the East coast and have driven Road warrior miles on asst cars,, I have used many mechanics and auto shops- but when I found this one I feel like I hit the lottery, Even when I live by the Tampa area I still prefer taking the 1.5hr trip to come to Reds. Courteous, Professional and Honest. There is none better- Thank you.
Red, Kumar, and the whole team at Red's are the honest mechanic everybody needs in their life. While I was there, I witnessed Red telling a woman that she did not need the $500 repair another shop was trying to sell her on. Hard to find that these days.
Reds really takes care of their customers. I went in for an engine check and there was a small problem and they only charged me for labor. They even filled my oil up! I highly recommended them and they always have fair and honest prices. If they can save you money they will. My family has trusted them the past 10 years will all of our cars. Thanks Red!
