Very glad my friend recommended STT&AR to me. I was very pleased. It’s hard to find good, reasonable and honest shop. Will be a customer for life…
The technicians at South Trail tire and auto are second to none. The owner John is a fantastic guy and he will definitely take care of you when you go to see him. Whether you have a nail in your tire or you need an extensive repair, his team will be able to accommodate your needs and take care of the problem. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
By far the best experience I have ever had. Reminded me of when I grew up in St. Augustine with the home town feel and personality of the staff. Comfortable atmosphere and clean environment. I would recommend a million times over!
John & Mitch are great guys! I recently purchased a new to me high performance Mustang. They inspected the car completely, presented me with items that needed attention, serviced the car and treated me fairly. I watched the Service Tech from start to finish and he was precise and diligent as he moved around, under, and in the car. John is a Tire Guru who found me hard to get tires at a very fair price. They are on order and will be installed next week. Good people in this shop...you wont be disappointed.
My Name is Tony, go bye Ed Kemper. I took jeep into STT&AR and as always they came through. My water pump gave out on my way to work and also had battery issues. Called set it up and they were fantastic. I take my Jeep TJ there and only there. These gentleman are great when it comes to auto repairs and customer service. Thank you Tony
As a past mechanic for the Datsun/Nissan 280Z club of America, I have learned that the key to a great mechanic is having a supportive staff. Johns team delivers the quality and craftsmanship of the great mechanics that I have worked with.As I get older, and cant bend over to tie my shoes, It is reassuring that there are skilled mechanics that I can rely on. I highly recommend South Trail Tire and Auto Repair for all your car care needs.Dr. J
Everyone here has always been very professional and yet casual, never making me feel out of place despite my lack of knowledge on cars. John and Mitch are top notch guys and will go out of their way to make sure any problems you have are addressed, will be my auto store for some time to come.
John and his crew are wonderful. Honest and good mechanics as well. I have been taking cars to this shop for 10 years and my Dad took his cars there before he passed away. I often recommend them to friends and I know John will treat them right. A real find!!
Finally, an honest repair shop with reasonable pricing!The service is accomplished by the promised time by expert service individuals. If you can make an appointment ahead of time, they will do everything to ensure speedy turnaround.
The mechanic that worked on my car, was thoughtful and efficient thank you Chuck
Before purchasing an older 2007 car which appeared in good condition, I called STT&AR spoke to John and asked if he offered a service to thoroughly check a used car out. He said YES they do for $39.99. I made an appt. to bring it in the next day.The next day John was so nice and made me feel welcomed into the shop. He took the car drove it and did a thorough check. John then wrote up everything that he found and also quoted the cost for repair and or part. I was so happy with the service, my boyfriend was with me and John WOW’ed him with his knowledge and quality service. I purchased the car and it’s coming right back to John for repairs. If you buy a car or not, it feels good to have peace of mind and know all you can about the used car for a small price
South Trail Tire and Auto Repair does it again! Easy online scheduling of services, able to drop off my vehicle any time with their convenient key drop envelopes, service completed on time, additional vehicle service information shared at no cost! Back on the road in a flash. Thank you !!!
John was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to meet. This shop is 5 stars for a reason! All there guys are top notch, I will recommend that you give them your money. They also do oil changes, your dealership cant compare to these guys.
Always get great service John is honest in evaluating any repairs
John Z and the crew were great! Service was quick and the price was very fair.
Excellent. My first time there but they now have a new customer!
I called to ask about getting a headlight replaced, the guy was rude to start stating he wouldn’t be able to get me in “right this moment” when he did not even give me a chance to speak or ask any questions aside from asking if they replaced headlights in my vehicle (because it is a difficult vehicle to change). I said no, I did not expect that so I proceeded to ask if I needed to get a headlight and bring it or if they had a supplier that they ordered and I just pay their fee, the guy’s exact words were “obviously I’m not going to have the headlight so you’re going to have to get that”. The tire shop I previously used supplied everything with a fee WHICH IS WHY I ASKED. Very unprofessional and if I could give this place zero stars, I would simply from the guy being super rude.
GREAT find for car repair. Honest and does good work
Honest...Fair Pricing...Great to work with.Went in for an oil change, brakes and quote on tires. I use a synthetic blend oil and their price was almost half of what I was quoted from a local franchise. I told John I wanted brakes all the way around. They removed the wheels to check the brakes and told me the rear brakes were fine...all I needed was to replace the front. They could have easily made money on the unneeded rear brakes, but instead, they did the right thing. I love it when I catch someone that I am doing business with, in the Act Of Being Honest. I ended up with the new tires too....very fair price and great service. Great group of people to do business with. This was my first visit but it wont be my last.
John and his group are exceptional! Its really nice to find honesty in this day and time!
Great experience with John, Mitch, Lee and the team at South Trail Tire & Auto. My truck was getting stuck in park and another repair shop said they could not fix the issue, they fixed it at South Trail and way under what I thought it would cost. Same day repair too and they did a few unexpected extras! Going back next time I need work done. Thanks guys!
Definitely recommend this place. They were 100 dollars less for my wheel bearing than other quotes I received. I’ve had them effect repairs on other vehicles in the past and never got the unsettling impression They were crooks. They were always professional and was satisfied with the entire experience.
They were friendly and fair priced. My brakes were fixed in the time they had estimated. I will definitely do business with them again.
I did not know tires came with a date on them. Mine were over 2 yrs. old. Had to buy another set down the road. Another $350.00 spent a year and a half later! Bummer...Had to replace the tires because had a Nail in them. Out of date by almost 3yrs. Mechanic refused to patch it.
Brought my 99corvette their for service and new tires. They were absolutely unbelievable I could not have been happier. The pricing was very fair and the service exceptional. Thanks to John and his team. Will definitely be back for all my service needs.
Highly recommend! They are awesome. I am always pleased after having my car serviced. Whether it be to check my tires, oil change or general maintenance. They are friendly and very professional. Posted for Marge DuFala
The whole team at south trail tire was extremely helpful and polite. I was able to get all of my tires mounted and balanced with no issues, and they fixed a problem that another tire shop had caused. Their prices are reasonable and I highly recommend their services.
John is a great owner! Got me 4 new tires at a great price. When I came back to pick my car up they told me that they werent happy with the tires yet and wanted more time to adjust them. They are dedicated to making sure that they get everything working perfectly before they return your vehicle to you. No cutting corners here.
I found South Trail Tire and Auto Repair several years ago. Being a snowbird, I wanted to find someone who I felt was honest and reliable. I am so happy to have found them. My daughter and family use them exclusively now too. They started after having gotten an estimate from a local franchise auto front end work. About half of the work wasnt needed, saving them about $450.00 This time I only needed a flat tire fixed. They didnt plug it due to potential belt separation. They took it off to inspect the interior and patched it from inside. I was in and out in less then an hour after calling. I could go on, but will close with saying I am certain there is likely other honest repair shops in the area, but I will always be a ST supporter.
Recently moved to the Ft Myers area and needed a new mechanic for my 20 year old, 240,000 miles on the clock, Dodge truck. Read some reviews and decided on this place. Brought the Ol gal in at the appointment time and they got on it immediately. 20 minutes and a bit over $50 later I was out the door. They even found and fixed a vacuum hose leak that I didnt know about at no extra charge. I see now why every bay was in use, and most of the parking spots were full when I got there. Not hard to see who my new shop is gonna be! EDIT: Used them two more times. Once just an oil change. Again, appointment time was dead on, in and out. And not just an oil change was going on. I watched as the mechanic/tech peeked, poked, prodded around the front end, walked the truck underneath front to back, checking it out as if it was his own. And SURPRISE! No added well, we found a worn frammis and a bad kanuter valve stuff. Afterwards I needed some front end/suspension work done due to a previous accident, and while I couldnt afford the entire amount, they repaired/replaced enough to make the truck safe to drive on what my cash could handle, and even told me where to get some used tires! If you want your vehicle to last longer for the dollar, this is where to spend it.
Chad is a great Mechanic took care of my wobbling When driving . Road force tested my tires and balance them perfectly
Great service. They were able to order specialized tires, match the price on Amazon, and install all in the same day. I don’t write Google reviews but felt compelled to do so. Highly recommend.
Only needed a simple job of fixing a tire leak. Got an appointment for 2 hrs later - not days, turned up on time, and was taken in right away, and job finished in about 30 mins at a great price! I’d recommend these guys - very friendly and they know what they are doing.
Two Honda dealerships in my area told me that they would need to charge me $350 to reprogram my door locks (the remotes were not working) and they were the only ones who could do it because it had to be programmed specifically with my vin number, etc. etc., and on two separate occasions (air bag defect replacements), that I needed thousands of dollars of other additional repairs on my car. NONE of it was true. I took my car to South Trail and Auto on the recommendation of a friend who had been going there for years. South Trail told me about a website where I could order new remotes for $16.50 and program them myself (remotesremotes.com), which I did, and checked my car out thoroughly for a VERY reasonable price with no repairs needed. They are also known for telling you what you need, when you need it, what can be postponed and what is priority. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and personable. I have already recommended them to another friend who also had a VERY positive remarkable experience there with needed car repairs. They will be my go to place from now on for maintenance and repair.
Only willing to sell the most expensive tires even for a quick fix, one blew on the interstate (no nails, no pot hole) and John wasnt willing to back his work.. John also has an discomforting tone for someone in business and the service industry. Get ready to be belittled.. wont be coming back or recommending... had tire fixed at our new residence-said valve stem wasnt cared for/installed properly.. south trails liability! Take Care John👎 hope you seek to improve ur business and service. Cheers!
These folks really try hard to make sure you are satisfied. The waiting area is clean and modern, and they are real friendly and price competitive.I returned a year later to have tires installed on my car. On time, as promised and fairly priced. Good people to do business with. They even cleaned up the wheels !
I have been doing business with South Trail Tire & Auto for several years. They provide top quality repair service, direct contact with the company owner, and honest business ethics that can be hard to find these days. I highly recommend having your vehicle serviced by this company.
Had my truck lifted at a local 4x4 shop about a year ago. From day 1 I felt one of my wheels (left front) made an odd sound. Took it back to the place that did the lift and they said it was the sound of the rims because of the type of rims I picked. Didn’t think anything about it after that. Fast forward about 8 months. I had noticed over time when making slight right turns I had a shake/vibration. Again, I could feel it on the left front side. So, needing new tires I reached out to South Trail Tire and Auto. After getting a few quotes from them and their recommendations. I decided on the tires I felt would best suit my needs. I also brought to their attention the issues I was having. The quickly discovered the issue and the problem! One of my wheels wasn’t turning all the way bc the previous shop didn’t tighten the bolts up on my lift properly for the steering!! They made the repair and replaced the tires. My truck is as smooth as it was when new! I’m so grateful I connected with this team of professionals. Thank you South Trail!!!
I contacted South Trail Tire & Auto after having a not so good experience elsewhere. They got my guys in right away on two different occasions and had the work completed within a very reasonable time! They are very flexible with scheduling and the customer service is excellent! Very friendly staff and John (I Believe) made it a point to meet with my guys personally! Overall a great experience and we will be using them for all of our future auto needs!
I had a concern about my car. John and his team were very efficient and took excellent care of me. As I was waiting for my service to be completed, I noticed how kind and helpful other customers were treated as well. If you’re looking for that personal touch in your car care this is the place!
Dependable, handles emergency car care with no hassles. John, the owner, is a class guy, a real special person to be around.. He knows the car repair business. He will go the extra mile to get you excellent tires at reasonable prices. Have been going to the place for over 25 years, do I need to say anything else????
WOW! I needed air in my tires for my Escalade. I attempted to buy air at two different gas stations to no avail. I googled a trusted auto repair in my area and was impressed with South Trail Tire and Auto over 100 5 star reviews. I am well aware of how difficult it can be to attain such a high google review rating as I happen to own an auto repair facility in Dayton Ohio. They were prompt and professional in helping me right away. I will be back for sure! Thank you very much and I will be sure to recommend to my friends and family. Jan Murphy- CFO Murphy’s Autocare.
Cannot say enough wonderful things about John and his crew at South Trail! I brought my vehicle in this morning and they were able to get it fixed and turned right back out. If you’re a business owner and need a quick, dependable shop to maintain your vehicles, this is the one for you!
I had no appointment and my car was done the next day. The price was very reasonable. The staff was very Professional. I will return.
One of the most honest and straightforward shops in lee county. They will go out of their way to keep the customer first and safe. Great family environment and amazing contributors to thoes around them.
Awesome job as always! Including our children we have several cars to maintain. As you know car maintenance can be expensive! Its nice to have a repair company we can trust and who we know will be fair and honest. We have been using South Trail Tire & Auto for over 10 years! Believe me they are the best! We love and trust them. We also buy all of our tires from them. Thanks for the great service!
The team at South Trail helped me decide what was best for my 2007 Taurus. I was very grateful because at first, we were looking at a few problems. They let me know this in our first meeting. Well... when I picked up my car I was very pleased... I paid 1/2 of what they proposed.I am very happy with my great service AND THEIR HONESTYThank You,Judith Church
Last wknd my automatic window motor broke and I contacted John and he was able to fit me in within a day or 2, even though he was booked up. He got me fixed up just in time for the storms that were coming in. I would highly recommend John and his team at South Trail Tire and Auto Repair. They were fair, efficient and all the staff were very nice. Thank you John!
Great guys, professional and courteous. John the manager runs a clean and honest shop. Very polite, and jovial. Will return again when I need to get new tires.
Its really hard to find a good and honest mechanic when moving into town. These folks have taken care of us for the 6 years weve lived here with 4 cars.
South Trail Tire and Auto, John Z is extremely honest and very knowledgeable. When I told him of the issue I was having with my car before I even got it to his shop he was pretty certain he knew what the problem was. He also knew that it was a repair that would be done by the dealership at no cost to me. He made the call to the dealer for me and all I had to do was schedule a time to take it in. It’s reassuring to know that there is an auto repair shop that I can take my car to and know that they will always be honest and do the best for their customers.
If youve forgotten what real customer service feels like I recommend you give these professionals a call. They have been taking excellent care of our vehicles for years. Honest assessments, fair pricing and John Z. really goes above and beyond. They always keep you informed and make you and your ride a priority.
The most honest shop in town! They wont try to tell you to fix stuff that doesnt need to be fixed. They finished my wheel bearing repair quicker than they estimated, and were kind and even had free keurig coffee too.
I highly recommend South Trail Tire and Auto Repair. The people are honest, super nice, and will only recommend needed work on your car. The service and work done is excellent. This is the only place I take my car. This is definitely a 5 star business!!
Friendly and trustworthy mechanic shop. Got my vehicle up and running on the same day with no appointment. They will get more of my business in the future.
John and the rest of his team were great to work with. Price was reasonable, service was prompt, personal and transparent. I plan on taking my truck to get serviced here instead of the dealership in the future, cant beat a family owned business. Highly satisfied.
Best shop in SWFL. Trustworthy. They dont overcharge. They know their stuff. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!!
They were honest with me about a problem that my vehicle 🚗 has, at the time they were doing my maintenance work they keep me informed of what’s going on and said that they can explain it better in person.Having worked in the Automotive industry for close to 30yrs myself That means how honest they were, they could of done something and told something else, they want to do it right the first time.You don’t get that anymore, it’s always try this and see. Not with South Trail & Tire Auto Repair.I Highly recommend them for any Automotive work needed.
John, and this business go above and beyond in the car AND Customer Service Business! Very accommodating and reasonable. If there were more stars- I would give them! I highly recommend !
Was so happy I found this place! Everyone was very friendly and they called me right away to tell me the problem they found and the possible causes. Its nice to find an honest and capable mechanic. I was able to pick up my truck the same day and it runs great!! Thank you so much!
South Trail is a reliable and very fair auto repair shop. We have taken our vehicles to them on several occasions, and have found them to be knowledgeable and very competent.Service is done in a timely manner, and will always call if something unexpected comes up with the repair.We have recommended them on several occasions to friends
South trail is a breath of fresh air! They treat you right, are honest, and don’t scam you into upsales that you don’t need.Reasonable prices and excellent customer service!
Been down here since I was 6 and Ive NEVER found a mechanic that seemed honest until now AND less expensive than most other places. Recently had to get 2 tires on my wifes car (one was just worn out) they came back with a whole list of things we needed to do and miraculously the next day we started having issues with 2 of the components they said needed work which seemed a little sketchy. We took her car to Southern trail tire and auto and they replaced the parts needed as well as some other small odds and ends for almost $200 LESS than the previous garage and have always been a joy to work with (Ive also had my work van maintenanced there) I will never go to another mechanic even though this shop is out of the way. Best garage in SWFL BY FAR! THANK YOU JOHN.
I have to travel a long way to get to South Trail but I have been completely satisfied with their quality of service. Tried manyshops in my area and have not been happy with there service. Ihave finally found a quality auto service and the price was reasonable.
John z runs a great shop! Not only do I bring my car and my company car, but I move mountains to get my husbands car there (which is stick shift 😜 And I cant drive!) his staff Ian honest and I know that when I ask what I should do, Ill get an honest response! I recommend everyone go to south trail tire and auto!
This shop is honest and professional - they do not play games with you. Make sure you schedule an appointment and you wont be disappointed.
I used to take my car to the dealership for service. The experience was stressful and costly. I never knew what mysterious problem they would would find that needed to be fixed in addition to the reason that I brought the car in for. When I go to South Trail Auto I get a straight evaluation of my car and I am no longer paying dealership prices for quality workmanship. If South Trail suggest that something be looked at its because it NEEDS to be looked and is not a fabricated problem. I see the valve in the service provided.
Awesome shop. Ive previously been going to firestone on colonial blvd, for around 12 years, I decided to give south trail a shot at my business and I was not disappointed. Not only did they beat Firestones prices, on firestone performance tires no less, but they were awesome people to work with. The mechanic that did the work was great, friendly and didnt mind when I wanted to ask questions or see under my car.John Z, the owner of the shop is one of the nicest guys youll ever meet. They will tell you what needs done and will not fabricate issues to pad their pockets. Fair, honest and reliable. Dont see that often in the auto repair or tire business.Give them a shot next time you need auto repair or tires, you will not be disappointed, quite the opposite actually.
These guys go above and beyond! A truly honest mechanic. We are so glad we found John and South Trail Tire & Auto. Fair and honest quotes with work done in a speedy fashion.
Always the best service! In town for a few weeks and needed a new headlight bulb. John fit me in, and actually found there were two bulbs out. Thanks, John. It was fun catching up with you. Hope the shoulder is doing better!
When the bill is actually lower than the estimate, you cant beat that! Plus they always do great work. As a relatively new resident in Estero, I feel very lucky to have found them.
Mitch and the entire staff are excellent. My family has been using South Trail for over 25 years and they are always fair, honest, and reasonable. Highly recommend!!!
Professional service. Professional techs. Quality work without the feeling of being up-sold.Used their services many times since first post. Finding an auto service company that you can trust is a wonderful thing. He does the service work to all my vehicles.
Had to get some tires replaced and their prices were fair. Service was awesome and very fast. The owner and crew were very professional and did a once over on my brakes and other stuff that might need service. I have several cars and will be using them as my go-to repair and maintenance shop going forward. Good stuff!!
Best mechanics in Fort Myers
Great honest service
Needed an oil changed for my box truck and they did it in an hour. Fast and friendly
Trustworthy and professional service! The people that work here are incredibly friendly and are very honest and straight forward with everything. The pricing is reasonably affordable and I recommend this shop to everyone! I always get excellent service!
These guys were the greatest they actually fix my tire which I was looking for used tire because I had a puncture in my sidewall, they diagnosed it fixed it and charge me a very reasonable amount. I would highly recommend that you take your vehicle there for any repair their very professional and very friendly.
I always get an appointment within a few days. Everyone is always very pleasant and helpful. I trust this shop with my car and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this shop.
Great place to have your car repaired. The team there is honest and respectful of your needs.
John Zadrovitz and his team are honest, professional and competent. I own a used car dealership and have done business with them on many occasions. Top Quality Work. Thanks John
A real service business you can trust. Friday 1:00 PM. On vacation on Pine Island and noticed one tire was not going to make it back to NC. No one had this tire in stock in Fort Meyers area and other tire shops were trying to switch me to their brand of tire (sometimes at ridiculous prices). John located a set and rather than wait until delivery on Monday, offered to pick up the tires and insured installation that day. We were out the door with a set of properly balanced tires at 4:45 PM. THANK YOU JOHN AND CREW.
Very professional and reasonably priced . I will continue to bring all my car here.
Great service from great people who were very knowledgeable, and explained our car problems so that we understood what repair was needed. Diagnosed the problem after we called them initially, and had the part ordered and waiting when we arrived for our appointment!
I have been with this company for many years and I am never disappointed. They are friendly reliable and thoroughA highly recommended honest company
Wow, I brought my Ford Focus in after I ran over some nails near a construction site. I was expecting to be taken for a ride, and be charged an arm and a leg. John at South Trail Tire and Auto repair was quick to put me to rest. He had my car in and out in under an hour. While I hope I will not be needing new tires any time soon, if I do I will be returning!
Always clean professional and trustworthy!
Johnny Z and crew are awesome, fair and solid mechanics.
They were very helpful and Caring
Phenomenal Service, True Pro’s, Great team they fixed my truck right away so I could get back to work these guys know what they’re doing I highly recommend them.
John and his team have always serviced my personal and work trucks with great care. They are great at what they do and always fairly priced.
Great and speedy service, my tires were done like in 2 hours. They have very good prices as well.
Great first time experiencevery friendly owner, little wait with no appointment, competentent fair price. pity he doesnt do my jaguar except wheel change
Great honest people, John is a great guy you will love him
South Trails technicians are automotive magicians!We had two ride problems occurring with our car: tires out of balance and the front end pulled. Simple fixes that the dealer couldnt resolve in two attempts. It was sad to think I drove right passed South Trail to be let down by the dealer...twice. South Trail fixed these problems in the first attempt. After 9 years and 55,000 miles, this car rides better than new.3 items to know about South Trail:- They fix it right the first time; without upselling services and parts you dont need.- Theyre accommodating; fit me in with a days notice.- Very fair pricing. I write estimates for a major insurance carrier, and I was amazed with how little they charged.South Trail has a customer for life.
South Trail is an honest business. More than once I have brought vehicles to them with issues and they have told me nothing needed to be fixed except a very minor adjustment. Thats the kind of mechanic everyone needs!
After making an appointment to have my suv attended to, I dropped it off and was contacted later in the day when the work was completed. Job was perfect, suv was as clean as I had left it..price was fair.... everything was in its place. Definitely a go to auto service facility.
Awesome group of people, and great service every time I go in there. Its the only place Ill take any of my vehicles from here on out.
