Thompsons Auto Clinic / AutoForm - Lakeland (FL)

Michael B I spoke at length with Jodie at the end of Friday about having a used car that I was considering purchasing being checked out prior to purchase and he stated that for $70 his team would check it out. We ended up speaking further about what type engine/s and make of vehicles were more prone to repair given his experience! We spoke for about 20 minutes and then I told him I would return for an inspection on Monday. I arrived and spoke to the receptionist, Sherry, explained to her the above discussion with Jodie and she put my pertinent information into their computer system and I waited in a very comfortable waiting area. A soda machine was available and complimentary coffee was provided. There was a very friendly cat, and I believe its smaller twin or offspring wandering about and happily enjoyed petting from anyone! My vehicle was reviewed and Russell, my mechanic took me back to the interior of the shop and explained to me that after his test drive he suggested a front wheel alignment and stated the front brake pads needed to be replaced. Final answer: My question as to whether to buy the car or not was answered as “Absolutely!” When Russell told me I could drive it out I told him that I owed the $70 inspection fee. He told me not to worry about it and I thanked him for his opinion and his grace! Bottom line, I was referred to this repair facility by friends who have used Elite Automotive for years. It was a pleasant experience and based on my friends opinions and internet reviews, Elite Automotive is trustworthy, has great customer service and fair and reasonable pricing! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND one check them out if you want to avoid the high cost of some dealerships repairs and are looking for options!

Mike Diaz I can’t say enough good things about Christian Brothers Automotive! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with kindness and professionalism. The staff honest, respectful, and caring. They took the time to explain the issues with my car in plain terms, gave me a detailed estimate, and never pressured me into unnecessary repairs. What really stood out was their transparency and integrity. Also made the entire experience stress-free. My car now runs like new, and I know I can trust them for future maintenance. It’s rare to find an auto shop that combines quality service with genuine Christian values. Highly recommended!

Grace Gale Ajax is my go-to spot for help with my hybrid (something it requires often...) and they are awesome! Everyone there is very polite, they are transparent about their prices from the get-go, the prices are always reasonable, and theyve worked around my schedule with me to make sure I can drop off and pick up my car without having to take a day off of work. Overall, great reliable people who quickly figure out whats wrong and how to fix it.

Mandy Bartlett We have used this mechanic for several issues with our sons car - everything from oil changes to a catalytic converter. Always on time, great communication, more than fair pricing. We live 2 hours away and its such a relief to have a reliable trustworthy mechanic that we can call on from a distance.

Shannon Farrell I contacted Benjamin’s Auto Garage to repair my grandson’s front end. He did it proficiently, and very reasonable. We dropped the truck off and it was completed beautifully with a few hours. I highly recommend Benjamin’s Auto Garage!

Kelly Cooper This team has always gone above and beyond for all my familys automotive needs. Highly recommend!

Joey Freeze Great independent shop, they do quality work at a good price. They are currently my go-to place to keep my 2015 MINI in top shape.

Hugh Paulk John knows more about Mercedes than Mercedes does and a lot cheaper than the dealer. Had some more work done on my SL55 AMG and my car feels like its new John found that my Alternator was messing up and replaced it and now everything is working on my car right when I crank it up. Couldnt be any happier. Thanks again John I hope you get yo feeling better too
