What clients say about B & B On Road Auto Repair in Kenansville (FL)
After my recent accident, B&B On The Road Repair showed a level of honesty and kindness that truly stood out.
Instead of trying to make a quick profit, Buddy Colvin gave me honest advice and recommended that I go through my insurance so the repairs would be handled properly. That kind of integrity meant a lot, especially during a stressful time.
If you’re looking for honest, trustworthy service from someone who truly cares, I highly recommend B&B On The Road Repair.
Let me start by saying that Buddy is an incredible human being. He didn’t even fix my car! But what he was able to do was give me honest and very helpful information on what I needed to do with a broken down car 20 miles south of his shop with nowhere to go. Because he services a small town and usually needs to order parts for the vehicle, he had suggested to go to St Cloud since they would have everything we needed for a very quick turn around so my daughter could continue her way back to Gainesville for school. Not only did he help me diagnose the problem, he also walked me step by step on what I needed to do to take care of the problem. He made no money and he was very generous with his time to help us out. If I lived in that town I would be more than happy to visit his shop!! Thank you Buddy.
There’s a reason that Buddy has been running this shop for over 40 years; great customer service. Buddy was responsive, communicative, and accommodating. He made a stressful situation for me feel much more manageable and he really is looking to do right by his customers. If you’re having any vehicle issues and you are in the area, this is your go to shop.
Buddy really helped us out when my daughter broke down on the Turnpike. His honest advice…and then repair…during a stressful moment is so appreciated. Great guy and highly recommended.
Very wonderful to work with. We were traveling out of town when our wheel bearing went out. The gentleman worked us in and fixed our truck fast. Truck drives better now than it ever has. Highly recommended. Beyond reasonable prices. Great job. Your a life saver
I was heading to a job in Cocoa Beach , truck went down on a back road. Looked up up auto repair near me, called a couple shops and they all wanted to get me towed to their shop. I had a crew waiting for the parts I had, so I asked if they could just come, look it over and get me back on the road. Buddy was the only one that would come out. Turned out it was something he could fix and got me going within a half hour. I was able to get to my jobsite and complete the job, all because Buddy took the time to try. Highly recommend if you're in that area and in need of a mechanic give them a call.
Volunteer at a local area. Found them on Google maps search. Very friendly, honest, and reasonable. I definitely recommend this business if you are in the area and want someone that won't charge for things you don't need and does good work.
Hands down best mechanic ever!! He has been servicing our vehicles for over 15 years and always taken great care of us. But this last time he went above & beyond! I had taken my car to a dealership just for an oil change to then be told that I had complete engine failure. I had no signs of any issues with my engine prior to this oil change. I was just taking it in for a routine oil change. The service guy at the dealership told me it would be $15,000-$17,000 to replace the motor. Then he said he was going to have sales come and give me a price to trade it in. Not one time did they offer to dive in to see what the initial problem was. They just wanted to sell me a car. So I called Buddy and gave him the details of what the dealership was telling me & he told me to just get the car to him & he would take care of it. Buddy was quick to dive in to diagnose the issue. Needless to say, less than two weeks later I get a call that my car is fixed and ready to pick up. I cannot recommend this guy enough!! Not only does he know his stuff, but he truly cares about his customers.
After this place charged me thousands of dollars to fix my truck, it sat in his front yard all taken apart for a month before a finally came and got it. Owner not knowledgeable with diesel engines. Didn't have the correct tools to perform the job. I took my truck to another local diesel shop and they had it diagnosed and I picked it up the same day. Simple ipr sensor. After this place had me sink thousands into new injectors, hpop, and other various parts. I paid everything in CASH. I made it 2 miles down the street when my truck died. Then the owner was completely rude with me and left my truck taken apart and the hood ajar for a month in his front yard. Talked about checking a crystal ball to find the issues with my truck which was very weird to me and not professional at all. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save your time and money and take it to a reputable shop. Not this backyard mechanic.
Y'all are so smooth that you don't realize how smooth smooth can be until you rough brush it.... Here's to you as good as I am here's to you as bad as I am as good as you are as bad as I am to the woods... Hope you enjoy
I was camping in the area when I noticed a leak. I found B&B through Google Maps and Buddy fixed it within a few hours and even drove me to the nearest gas station so I could have some breakfast while waiting. I loved the honesty, fast service, and dedication, definitely recommend!
I’ve had Buddy for years, he’s a very trustworthy mechanic. Very pleased with multiple issues he has fixed. Never had to go back the second time he’s a full of knowledge..
I had a vehicle towed there for an unknown drivability issue on a Sunday night. They looked it over and advised us of the issue and got our driver back onthe road quickly. Thanks guys for a great job!
I wanted to add some lighting to my 2022 F450 Truck and I found Family Owned B&B Auto Repair By Google. Buddy answered the phone when I call and within 4 days I had a appointment and the work was completed Extremely well. Buddy was polite and Fair with his pricing. I know who to call if I ever need auto work completed again.
Great mechanics and extremely knowledgeable. If you are in need of help on the road they will handle that as well, I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Honest, reliable, really can't say enough good things about this shop they keep me informed on the repairs . Buddy and his crew do it all and they do it right
I took a vehicle to this shop that couldn’t be fixed anywhere else. This mechanic took the time to find the problem and fix it. And that he did. His price is honest and upfront! Really good place
My husband and I use B & B On Road Auto Repair for all our vehicle maintenance and repairs. Today my husband was on his way to Georgia when he broke down in the median of I-75. After a couple phones calls to Buddy the owner of B & B On Road Auto Repair my husband’s part was in route to a local mechanic in Ocala FL to be put on my husband’s truck. Not all mechanics would go the extra mile to ensure their customers who are traveling are taken care of. Buddy Colvin is the epitome of what a business owner should be.

I am so grateful AAA took my car to Bobby! They were quick, professional and very honest! At first when I arrived, I was hesitant because the shop was very out of the way and hidden. But as soon as Bobby came out and greeted me, I felt safe and in very good hands :). Most importantly, I made it home safe and sound with my newly repaired vehicle! Thank you Bobby!
It's really close don't have to drive to StCloud. Needed. Someone to fix my car. He's local and I don't Kno any shop anywhere else. Willing to work with locals in price. Very polite and knowledgeable. Those working there were nice also. Professional work ethics and attitude. Took my car down and they have it fixed already. Axle bearings, seal and new axle.
I broke down just a few miles away from Yee Haw Junction on the Florida Turnpike and I was very worried what was going to happen to my truck in the middle of Central Florida. But both Buddy Jr and Sr put my mind at ease. They are both very friendly and knowledgeable. Buddy jr explained to me what exactly happened to my truck and gave me a fair price.
5/5 would break down near them again.
I can tell you that there is nothing worse than getting stranded two hours from home at the end of a 12 mile dirt road in the middle of nowhere with a truck full of fishing gear. A friend of mine local to the area called B&B for me...they were on site in less than 30 minutes, diagnosed my problem (bad battery cell which wouldn't take a jump), got my truck temporarily fixed, had me follow them back to the shop and had my battery changed in less than 20 minutes. THIS is the kind of customer service that the bigger chain auto centers will never be able to provide. BIG THANKS to Buddy Jr. and the rest of the team at B&B!!!
Our family (from St. Louis) was traveling from Orlando to the Everglades and our van broke down in the middle of nowhere in Central Florida. Fortunately, we were just several miles from Kenansville and B&B. They are/were the only repair shop in the area and they were out to see very quickly. They got us back to the shop, ordered the part, and fixed us up and had us back on the road in a total of 2 hours from when I first called. GREAT JOB Buddy & Quinten!!! I recommend them highly if you are in the area!
Our car broke down at Yeehaw Junction, and this was the closest shop. Buddy and his dad were very friendly and professional. They diagnosed the problem very quickly, and got it repaired the next day after we approved the fixes! They even charged less than their initial quote because the work was easier to complete than expected. That level of service is unheard of in this business line! It was a pleasure doing business, Buddy. I'll definitely consider coming back if we have car troubles in the future. Thanks again! Keep up the good, honest work!
B&B auto are very courteous and professional with excellent diagnostic skills, always prompt service,with the skills to solve any problem from new vehicles to off road to tractors. Have been a customer for several years and go to them without hesitation on any mechanical problems. From service to motor to transmissions to complete motor overhaul there is nothing they have not been able to handle and back up 100 percent. I recommend B&B without hesitation!
Super quick response time and very helpful with excellent knowledge of how to fix our work truck! Pricing is reasonable too considering the pickle of being stranded on the side of the road 2 hours from home, in the middle of nowhere.
