Charlie is a great guy, treated us like family and helped us in a pinch. Would definitely go there if you need something done. Good honest guy with a big heart.
This shop is a local go to for pretty much any service you need, especially if youre doing it yourself. I was visiting from out of state and didnt have any of my tools, but needed to replace my brakes.Charlie and Tony are friendly, and very accommodating. They fit me in even though they had a fully booked day. The tools were great, and just as to be expected in any professional shop. They are helpful if you do run into any unforeseen issues. The in-house mechanic was great and answered any basic questions I had.They should be considered for any automotive work you need. Stop paying mechanics that dont care and do the minimum amount of work when you can go the extra steps and do everything right.Check them out, its worth the savings in time and money.
I highly recommend this business to everyone living in the Orlando area. Charlie is very honest with prices and he will do whatever is necessary on your vehicle to get you back on the road.I was initially going to change my brake rotors and pads by myself but I didnt have enough time so I had Charlie and his crew swap out my old parts for the new ones I ordered and they had it done in an hour and a half. I am very impressed with how fast they got me in and I will be using them in the future for all my vehicle maintenance needs.Just FYI this business is owned by Charlie who is a veteran from the US Navy. I am a veteran myself from the Air Force and I love to support my local veteran owned businesses. Youll get nothing but excellent service and fair pricing from them so take your business here because youll be in good hands!
I came in for a ac compressor to be installed and they were very nice, they installed it quick and were very professional about it. I was also very adorable and when they were done it was cheaper then I expected.
Nice and clean facilities, Prompt work, and excellent service. Oil change was prompt. Check engine light was diagnosed, estimated and fixed, very conveniently, in the same visit. Thanks to Hector and Tony for their expertise and valued help. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Charlie was an absolute blessing! I was confident in trusting his word from the second I was able to speak with him on the phone. I needed some pretty intense repairs done to replace my stereo touch screen and piece my whole middle consult back together. Charlie was great with keeping me up to date with the best option, making phone calls and driving to different places to find parts that my car would need. I didn’t have to do much except sit tight, be patient, and trust his process. I’m so thankful I found Charlie and Tony, they were absolutely more than accommodating from the beginning to end. I can’t thank Charlie enough for being an absolute angel for my unfortunate situation that I was so worried wouldn’t be able to get fixed. I cried with tears of joy when I got the picture update of everything being as good as new and he told me my car was ready to be picked up. Thank you so much for helping with my repair and the crazy good unbelievable price, they will always be my TOP shop to choose and recommend to everyone. Thank you times a million for bringing my car back to life!
These guys are magical with cars. They are very nice and helpful. I dont take car anywhere else but here.🙏🙏🙏🙏😇If you need your car professionally done in a timely manner Duty is the place.
Thank you Charlie and Tony.. We appreciate everything you did for us and are thankful to meet such good people..
I just want to say i never write reviews and for me to write one says a lot just to start off. So my truck has been a nightmare, one after the next with a ongoing stalling issue. I went to 2 shops a few weeks ago and they turned me down with a broken radiator and a stalling vehicle. Well, if that didnt happen i wouldve never came across Charlie. I had my car towed there and have to say hands down they are very thorough and dont just do bs repairs and send you on your way. Charlie is doing all he can to figure out whats wrong with my car. Its been a mission but he has been working with us trying to get this resolved. Hes very informative and explains everything to a T. I recommend this place and have to say i have never experienced customer service like this, especially from a mechanic shop. Super friendly and the constant communication is awesome. Thanks Charlie and crew for all yous do.
Had to tow in my car, and figure out what we could do with a bad clutch. I called, he looked up a few things and gave me a quick quote. I towed it in, we stayed in touch throughout the whole process and the price, speed and professionalism from Charlie and his staff was a breath of fresh air. Please keep up the good work and will definitely be coming back for more repairs in the future!
Honesty, Ethics, Great Value, True Partners!!!The reviews dont lie. Charlie and his son Tony are the mechanics all of us hope to find. No BS. mechanics who not only tell you what needs to be done they also show what needs to be done by sending you a text message that shows video and pictures. They work with you to find the best solution at the lowest possible price while still providing great service and value.They are my go to neighborhood mechanics who not only saved me a ton of money but also people I can trust. Thank you Charlie and Tony for being honest and truly caring.
Ive used Repair Tech 4 times. Always great work. Im commenting this time for a couple of reasons. When setting up my appointment for front brakes Charlie inquired as to how feeling, knowing that Ive been quite sick earlier. Felt like I was talking with a friend. I ended up running about an hour and half late. Tony jumped right on replacing brakes and rotors. About an hour I told him I needed to get to work soon, should I Uber. He thought he could get it done. Half hour later to late for Uber, Im attempting to reach a manager at work, you know how that goes. Tony hands over the keys, noting unable to test brakes. Got to work just under grace period. Great service Tony!
Ive delt with a lot of mechanics but Charlie is by far the best. The service here was more than professional these guys are honest and fair with work. Something I havent found in an auto mechanic is a long time. I will definitely be coming back to deal with Charlie and his son in the future.
Charlie was awesome! Very informative about the issues that my car was having. He works with you to make sure your needs are met. Thank you so much!
20Aug2021 My second time in this morning. Same level of satisfaction as the first time.My first time in was this morning, it wont be my last. Rented a bay with a 2 post lift for 2 hours. Changed the engine oil and manual transmission fluid with no issues. Very professional, helpful, and an excellent value.
Charlie and the staff were professional and very helpful and accommodating to our needs went above and beyond. Very honest about the work they did and the quote was the same when we went for pick up.Highly recommend using this as ur automotive needs 5 stars
This review is a bit behind but well deserved. Long story but for sure they deserve all five stars. I brought in my vehicle to DitY to perform a long overdue wheel bearing replacement along with replacing brake rotors and pads. My family was in the auto industry. I was a certified mechanic at two dealerships and independent shops. I worked in high performance auto and marine (alcohol, mogas and diesel). I also diagnosed and repaired locomotive diesels. I spent two days in this shop. The service and technical competency could not be more on target. I watched most every encounter with other customers as my situation took place. I had ordered parts online from a nationally known provider using the vehicle VIN - total fail. My CV shaft now out with wrong hubs in hand. The shop is fully equipped and as a DIY customer you are far from on your own when trouble strikes. When I my parts didnt fit the owner Jesus scrambled using updated Mitchell1 system to investigate. He made a zillion phone calls, found then ordered hubs from every parts provider to get the correct parts. There were two transmissions that year and VIN crossover is not 100% in every system even with the transmission tag. The timeline forced me to leave my vehicle overnight. I elected to switch from DIY to full service. The lead mechanic Hector whipped through the rest of the repair pressing bearings and freeing bound splines. Bottom line - the fix is backed by a 2 year nationwide warranty. The parts were better quality than Id ordered (never again). Even with the delays and my screw ups the repair was less than half of dealer cost to do just CVs an no brakes. It was much less than another independent. The DIY service is great - everything you need is at arms reach. The full service was impressive using on online system with manufacturers service info. Finally, the customer service from the shop owner was outstanding. Complete transparency and technical excellence. Finding the hubs took process of elimination most would have blown off. Most shops would have defaulted ordered a dealer part for extra $$. Dont hesitate to use this shop for DIY and full services. Totally disregard the negative reviews.
I cannot say enough good things about Charlie and Tony. They find what is ACTUALLY wrong with your car. They won’t go over your budget and work to get done what actually needs done instead of making things up. I cannot thank Charlie and Tony enough, they truly care about their young customers who are far from home. I will always bring my car here. Thank you so much!!
Quality work done at a great price and work was done before estimated time given. Will be using again
I went to DitY to work on my personal car and replace the front struts. I had a great time working there. Having a lift was just wonderful, so much more easy to do the work. The owner, who was managing the shop, was extremely helpful during my time there, he loaned me some tools that I was missing and provided guidance. He also helped me to use a professional spring compressor to do my job safely. If you like working on your cars on your own, and don’t have a lift at home, this is a great place to rent one, and receive great friendly service and support (they have all kinds of tools there). I look forward to the next time I go back to work on my car. Thank you DitY!
They took 3.875 dollars to rebuild my engine and my pick up truck came out worse than it was .had me wating for 3 to 4 months and still dint get the problem fixed and full of excuses. Like im out of town my master mechanic cant find the problem i got to pay him extra to come and check it out and played me for a fool
Spent the day here today working on my own vehicle. A great concept that offers a great service. Tools available for use if you don’t have what you need. Charlie, Rob and Tony were great. Very non-rushed experience in a nice environment. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to tackle any job on their vehicle themselves.
Charlie the owner is great, very hands on! I brought my Mitsubishi Montero in for repairs he brought me back in the shop to show me exactly what they had found and other things that should be repaired in the future that werent even related to the oil leak they were fixing. I even got a follow up text 2 days later, I have never gotten follow up from a mechanic in my life!
This place was a true blessing. Everyone was very helpful and polite, great prices per hour and a very comfortable environment. Couldnt ask for a better place to work on my car! Thanks again guys!
Hands down the best experience I have ever had with a mechanic. Truly good people, and I wouldnt recommend any other mechanic shop in the area. I rented a bay to do a brake job on my rusty car. It took much longer than expected, and I needed help several times. The crew was incredible. I was treated respectfully, they were incredibly patient and willing to help and teach as I went along with my project. They had every tool that I needed to use and then some. I was able to redo my brakes for one quarter of what the job would have cost elsewhere.
This guys are great, Jr and his team were awesome working in my Car, they were professional showing details while they still working on every needs of the car. Also they treat very very very well people who’s waiting inside the office. Can’t complain, if I can I would give to this place 10 stars.
Great people, Excellent mechanic, honest, fair pricing.
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable and got exactly what I needed done done.
Came from Orlando because my appt complex won’t let me work on my car. Most shops wouldn’t trust an 18yo to do their thing either. This place loaned me everything I needed to do my BMW coolant system refresh. I rented a bay with a lift (trust me, it’s worth it) and got to work pulling everything out. Whenever I needed something I just asked one of the shop crew and they directed me to it. Got the job done in about an hour and a half and was back on my way. I will definitely be back, knowing my car, so keep one open for me.
Owners are very informative and helpful. You can have work done or schedule to rent a spot to do the work yourself. They have a guy that does tint at a great price as well.
These guys were a life saver. Charlie and Junior and the team were amazing. I am a woman who knows nothing about cars and was so afraid to take it in because you hear stories but I was proven wrong. I have a prius that all of the sudden started making this loud noise when I drove. I took it to one of the chain shops and they had no idea what they were doing so a friend had me take it to Ditys. Charlie and Junior worked so hard to figure out what this strange crazy noise was coming from my car. They called me and kept me in the loop with what was going on every step of the way, super honest guys.They were able to figure it out and fix the problem and they were affordable. I am blessed that I was able to work with them. Thank you guys!
These guys are set up like self-help in the military. They have a large range of tools you can rent to get the job done and a very knowledgeable and polite staff.
Great place to get your stuff done for a good price! Will be back. We need more of these.
Took my Toyota celica Oct 2019. They had it for 10 days as I was going out of the country. I specifically left them my google number which works out of the country as my contact. I didnt get an update until the day before I came back when I contacted them. While I was out they lost my keys. They did obtain a replacement but wasted all that time they had with the car. When I got back I had to get a rental which they did help pay for as they should. Once I got my car back a day later it started smoking, I came back they said the oil and coolant mixed and I need a new engine... huh! I went in for something came out with a car that doesnt run... Should have went somewhere else! I really believe my celica would still be running if I had went somewhere else. 👎👎 I should have told them to forget about the job as soon as I heard them say we lost your keys
Only place to do ur own vehicle w a lift. Need more of these around for sure.
My vehicle had an electrical problem that was difficult to diagnose. The electromechanic at DitY found the root cause and implemented the proper corrective action. The manager was sensible and provided reasonable guidance on how to proceed with the minor problems that this older vehicle was experiencing. The diagnosis and corrective action was affordable, executed expeditiously, and totally worth it to regain my peace of mind. Convenient operating hours / location and flexible for drop off/pick up arrangements. Thanks DitY Auto!
Very helpful and friendly staff, life saver to have a place to to bigger jobs. Unfortunately it isnt air conditioned but it is well ventilated. Highly recommend, there should be more places like this.
Great techs. They diagnosed the problem in just a few minutes and the car was running after I did the repair. They are awesome. Highly recommend!
I called the morning of when I wanted to bring my car in for an oil change and was offered an appointment for only a few hours later, which was very helpful. Upon arriving I was greeted and taken care of immediately. The service took an average amount of time and the cost was very reasonable. Overall I had a very positive experience and will definitely be returning as needed in the future.
Excellent business to fit your needs doing yourself. Junior and his son Jay are very helpful and knowledgeable to guide you when using DYI services. They provide a toolbox and especiality tools when needed. To include the car lift that comes handy
This place saved my vacation. After a spark plug ejected itself and stripped out my head on our way to Disney World I tried to get another shop to fix it but the helicoil wouldnt hold. Faced with a $2000 uhaul rental to get home, or more to ship my van and camper trailer, I turned to DitY to fix it myself. I sourced a used head and Junior busted ass to get his machinist to help me out in a rush. Using a few tools I didnt bring and a nice clean shop to work in, replacing the head was a breeze. Even though I did the job myself, its clear these guys care about their customers. I would recommend them to anyone. I only wish they were local, having lift access would be awesome.
Called this shop and Jr was very helpful and informative about the symptoms with my vehicle. Had it towed to the shop and within an hour they told me the problem and was able to fix it the same day. Had the car up and running for work the next day. Definitely gained a returning customer for future services.
We are new to Florida so finding the right and best mechanic was very important! My car had several issues and taking it to their shop was the best decision! We only encountered one major glitch and that was getting the parts needed as GM was and still is on strike! But JV went above and beyond, found what was needed and got me back on the road! I was always kept up to date with what was being done to my vehicle and the staff is friendly and very professional! I would highly recommend this shop for any of you car maintenance needs! Thanks JV and JR!
Like I have said in the past they treat you like family.
Jr was very helpful and useful. The repair worked out great and really helped me out of a tight spot. I would recommend DitY Auto Repair if your looking for exceptional service and professionalism.
Awesome place! Had some last minute worries before a trip and they were very helpful to take a look and see what needed to done. Looked over the vehicle with me there and allowed me to asked questions and concerns. Very professional and nice people. Appreciated the knowledge and experience.
They are very honest mechanics. They did a great job on repairing my vehicle. DitY was also a lot cheaper than my old mechanic. It was well worth the 20 mile drive to their shop. I highly recommend DitY Auto Repair to anyone who wants an honest, great priced, nice, and very professional mechanic.
I use my car for work and grocery shopping. I was worried when it wouldnt start. I fear the worse. I had to look for a mechanic shop and knew nothing. I read a lot of reviews for mechanics. But DitY had reviews which if you read in-between the lines you could tell people really appreciated them. Fearing the worse I stopped. I took my car in. They take their time and care and fixed my car and restored my confidence in mechanics. They are my new mechanics from now on!
The people who own this place and work here are kind and honest people!
One of the most honest mechanics I’ve ever met in my life. Junior was knowledgeable in diagnosing an Evap system failure after I went to multiple places and wasted tons of money. His price was fair and he is very transparent, unlike my prior experiences of mechanics. I’ll only be going here for any mechanical needs going forward.
Had a great experience here with these guys. Price was fair and they answered any questions I had about what I was doing to my truck. The veterans discount was much appreciated also. Way to go guys 👍
Ive been here twice now, both times for exhaust related work. Junior and his staff give you all the tools necessary for the job, teach you how to work the lift, and cut you loose.A top-notch shop all around, with a handful of mechanics available to help should you need it.100% Recommended. Much love, and thank you for saving my ass when I decided to revert back to stock. :^)
These guys have been like a family to me. My previous mechanic recommended them and since then I would not take my car anywhere else. For two years I have trusted my car to them and I have no complaints and no regrets. They are trustworthy, knowledgeable and honest which are the most important qualities when looking a place to take care of my car. Their services and prices are excellent! I highly recommend this place!
The best place to do it yourself, Junior is great and gives good advice.
Great facility with amazing service. If youre a DIYer, then this is the perfect place for you
Good place to fix your car! They provide tools and space necessary to do that. Also, if you dont know anything about mechanic, they have great staff to help you!!
Junior is an Army veteran and is a very friendly person who offers a great service at a great price. I used his lift to Do my own fluid changes and maintenance in my genesis coupe. It was easy to get in and they offer loaner tools and advice. I saved over $100 doing it myself versus the dealer. This is a full service repair shop you can truly do it all yourself
Great place! Had to drop the gas tank on my vehicle. The garage made everything soooo much easier. Manager and staff were great and very helpful. Everything was clean. Will for sure come back and recommend this place to family and friends.
I broke down while in town and looked to rent a bay. The staff here are super friendly and knowledgeable. They keep a VERY clean shop and equipment seems to be in excellent condition. The supplied tool kit had everything need and was in great condition as well. If I HAD to complain it would be that I needed to ask for a metric wrench which was not a problem as it was in the tool box in front of my vehicle. IMO then rates are too cheap for what you get which is a rare commodity these days. Thanks for helping a stranded Canadian !!
Excellent place to work on your own vehicle. Staff was very friendly and helpful!! Only place around like this!!!
I recommend this shop to everyone they are great,friendly and very professional. The owners and the staff goes WAY OUT OF THERE WAY to make sure you understand what is being done and to make you feel comfortable. THERE GREAT!!
Good place for your car
I took my BMW in so I could use the lift as I had to replace my Exhaust Manifold and Catalytic Converters as well as replace a hub. There are some extremely hard to reach bolts for this job and it took much longer than expected. They usually close at 2:30 on Staurdays but the guys were nice enough to let me keep on working until I got everything back together, which wasnt until about 8 or 9pm that night. They have a great selection of tools both standard and impact and are very helpful if you run into any issues. i would highly recommend taking your vehicle there if you need somewhere to work on it. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it!
I couldn’t believe junior wanted to charge me $340 for a battery, in which I mentioned yesterday was only 4 months old, and installing! I am sorry but I was very disappointed to know he was even charging for use his tools! $50 to diagnose, $93 for hour work, “says $136 for battery” and $61 for using his tools lol! Then told me it I need two tires for 109 if I want a warrenty! Then basically called my car garabage by saying, “ I could have wrote an estimate of $1,000 for repairs to your car” also didn’t even call me back yesterday to let me know the update while I called over 10 time last from 2pm -5:30! Horrible customer service. Also left garbage in the front passenger seat and back seat, in handed it right to junior. Also the front hood was not closed properly and the window was left open.
I was able to order parts with their help and given tips, extra hands, and extra tools to complete our job on our car!
The mechanic who served us was very honest. He did very wonderful repairs on my car. Definitely give them a call if you need cars repaired!!!
I was extremely happy to find a garage that would rent me a bay and treat me so well so far from home. This is a nice clean well equipped garage and thats not even the best part, the best part is the kind and knowledgeable staff that works there. I highly recommend using this facility whether you want to do the work yourself or if you want them to do it.
I owe these guys an apology because this review is long overdue. Words cant explain how grateful my family is to these guys . I was 2,000 miles away from home with my family on vacation and had what couldve been a major problem with my car if it wasnt for these guys going above and beyond to fix my car on short notice so I could get home safely. The fact alone that I was from out of town with a hobbling vehicle and they didnt try to rip me off speaks for itself, but that they took the time from a busy afternoon in their shop to get me back on the road was what made this experience amazing. They are OLD SKOOL retired military guys that run a VERY HONEST business at VERY REASONABLE PRICES. Thats a rarity nowadays. MUCH LOVE !!! Thanks again !!!
Great place, I just had 2 tires put on and it didnt take too long. I even stayed and talked with one of the regular customers for a while after. Friendly service and I will definatly be back again.
Rented a lift bay from them today.What a friendly bunch of guys, and accommodating.Their hourly rates and tool rentals are extremely fair, and they tooktime to make sure I had everything I needed and knew how tooperate the lift. I cant work on my vehicle in the driveway and have a project car in the garage, so if you are in the same situation I cant recommend this shop enough.
Ive been a car owner for over 45 years and have had maintenance and repairs done at many auto repair shops throughout the U.S. I can say without hesitation that Jesus Jr and his staff at DitY Auto Repair are by far the people you want to trust for your auto repair needs. DitY Auto Repair is by far the best auto repair shop when it comes to honesty, integrity, quality of service and best value for your dollar. I wont take my cars anywhere else for DIY services/repairs OR to have Jesus Jr and his staff perform the work if the task is beyond my capabilities.
Amazing shop, very friendly staff. Made room in their schedule to fit us in on the spot and even drove us to a McDonalds to wait. Would recommend this shop to everyone.
Great organization. Very helpful and cordial, and very customer oriented. going back even though its 112 miles away. Jesus (the owner) makes it a fun experience ! :)
Their services keep improving day by day. The crew is respectfully accurate and will make your work efficient. Bravo!
JR was very welcoming and I saved a ton of money. I researched my repair on YouTube ahead of time and DitY had all of the resources I needed to do the job. Very happy customer.
I am very happy with this shop! I spent just under two hours changing my own alternator and saved over $200. There were a couple times when I ran into a little snag and the guys in the shop were more than willing to help me figure it out. Hopefully, I wont have car issues any time soon but when I do, Ill go back to DIY! Thanks!
Love being able to rent a lift bay in the shop, super reasonable and helpful!
Keep in mind, this review is coming from 1000 miles away, which makes it even more impressive. I am president of Salit Auto Sales in New Jersey, and located this shop to check out a car we wanted to buy, which was located in the Orlando area. Junior went out of his way to help me, a complete stranger who he will likely never meet, and thoroughly checked out a vehicle which we did end up buying. I have never recommended a repair shop so highly as I have DitY Auto Repair.
If you need a place to do your own work...this is the place...4 bays and every tool you can imagine and great knowledge... cant get tired of using their services..and...if you are military ...active ..retire..you got discount..ask for junior..very professional people.
This place very professional. They have tools to use and a lift. Very clean. The employees are very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place.
I had a relatively straightforward job to replace an a bolt on my air intake box. The person there was very helpful and provided more than enough tools to complete the job. It saved me a bunch of money on labor.
All that is good for your car.
The father and son are very caring people .They will work things out to be able afford the repairs i,ve been going back to get things fixed and always do a very good job explain what is going on with the repair very trusting reliable to get repairs done the right way I highly recommend Dity auto to get your vehicle fixed thereAugust 22 2019 Jr and J.V are helping me in every way possible while Im going through a very tough time with my medical situation and my fiance also being in the hospital with life threatening illness
I made appointments for auto repairs. The mechanics couldnt be nicer! They explained everything, and they dont overprice you. I certainly recommend them!
I came from Jersey to help my brother move, he needed some help with his car when we came across JR and his DIY shop. I was impressed with his shop and friendly atmosphere. It is amazing to not have to work on the floor, when you dont have to. Go check this shop out if you are knowledgeable about cars and would like to save money and DIY. Dont be discouraged if you may not entirely know about a particular job you are planning on doing because these guys will happily help out.
The Place to bring your car to service it yourself. If you get stuck, there are expert mechanic on site to help out and recommend solutions. Very happy with the place. Bring a flashlight when you work under the car, it will come in handy and you wont kill you phone battery when using the flashlight App.
Diego was awesome
Great enviroment to work! They got everything u need
Great place. They were very helpful and very fair. Ive been there twice and had very positive experiences.
I havent had the chance to actually work on my car at the shop yet, but have already had a poor experience just trying to get my car into the shop. I tried last Saturday but they were closed and I didnt find this out until I drove over half an hour across toll roads to find a piece of paper on their door stating family/medical reasons for closing. I understand that things come up, but please update your website and/or voicemail message to relay the information to customers before they drive over to the shop. Today, I called ahead again and was told the shop is about to close at noon but the website explicitly states 2:30 as the closing time. This is very frustrating as it has now been two weekends is row that I have tried to get my car in and have failed.
Very friendly and helpful. They have 3 different types of lifts for cars and light trucks.
Drove 30 mins down to Kissimmee to rent a lift here. Junior and his team were very helpful and I spent most of the day getting the work done on my Jeep. Wish I would have known about this place sooner! Thanks!!
I would recommend these mechanics for ALL your automotive service and repairs! Their services are top notch!!!
Awesome place to do your own work. Iv been here twice for two major jobs, changing a tranny and rear axle. Saves hundreds of dollars!! Great staff, all tools you will need, and clean area.
These guys are very kind, experienced, and no problem to big or small. And they are very reasonable
Professional, thorough and transparent shop. Ask for Junior.
Great place to work on your ride. These guys are amazing and patient. When my project took a wrong turn they were right there to help me through it...
Professional Mechanics. Good place. good people
