I wanted to share my experience with replacing tires on my 2003 GT PT Cruiser. Mike and his Dad (Ed) have made me feel like I am family. Their pricing is fantastic and the people that work for them have been there forever.Automobile repairs are most always stressful for anyone. But not at Auto Spot The quality of work performed was top notch The entire staff is very skilled and competent.Everyone at Auto Spot has old school work ethics, good work habits and emphasized on getting the job done right. I was impressed with their commitment to demanding a top quality job.In a world where shoddy workmanship and poor service are unfortunately all too common, Auto Spot is a rare find. I took this step of writing this review because I believe that exceptional work should be recognized. I would not hesitate to use Auto Spot again. I will recommend Auto Spot most enthusiastically and without reservations.
I moved to Pompano Beach from Miami about 2 months ago, needless to say I needed a new local mechanic. Luckily my new apartment is two blocks away from the Auto Spot. I looked them up online and passed there shop daily for work, I decided to go in to fix my A/C and a broken coolant reservoir. Ed the owner had it fixed within a day and with very cost effective pricing, so cost effective I decided to fix my front end suspension and steering the following day. All in all when I did my due diligence on pricing and labor cost for the same work at other nearby shops, it was double the price . Im glad at the speedy and professional service at the Auto Spot... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
The father and son team of Ed and Mike make you feel like being a part of their family of customers. Dealing with these fellows is like a throw back in time to Mayberry USA where everyone was taken at their word and doors were never locked. It is hard to not get excited about the honesty and integrity that is paramount in their service and recommendations to their customers. Treat yourself to old fashioned, honest excellent work and pricing. They will makes believers out of you.
I drove 48 miles to Autospot to get tires for my VW Golf. It was well worth the trip. Great people, and Roger (tire man) did a flawless job without scratching or gouging my wheels. He even tire-shined my new tires. None of the other tire places do that. I will definitely give them my future business with a very high recommendation to others.
I was referred to Auto Spot on the Pompano Beach Residents page and They were Solid, They were time efficient, very helpful and friendly....I will reccomend this place to anyone who now asks for a mechanic...OH AND THEY HAVE GUINEA PIGS... 2 OF THEM 😁😁😁I am a huge animal Lover and Mike told me they found them out front just wandering around and they must have been dumped there so they were hungry and eating the bushes out there so they took them in and they are Now 2 mascots of Auto Spot..This humane deed alone will get my repeat business and my recommended suggestion to take your car to this place...🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
This place is the best! Ed and Michael are professional, honest and friendly. I have been there in several occasions and always left knowing my car was in good hands. They never recommend or perform a service that is not needed. They are transparent and honest about what needs to be done and their prices are fair. I highly recommend! Thank you Auto Spot!
First time customer. Greatly appreciated their honest and fair repair of my vehicle.This is a rare find in an industry where they usually traje you to the cleaners and find excuses why it cost more than estimated.Ed and his son Mike were outstanding in their courteous attention to my needed repairs.They can count on one more Lifetime customer in myself, my family and friends car repair needs.Thanks again guys !!!
My coworkers recommended Auto Spot and I am glad they did. Mike and Ed are friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely reliable. I have also brought the other 2 family cars in for service with excellent results. Nice to find an honest full service shop in South Florida.
Good people. Beat the big name tire amd auto stores pricing dramatically and provided a better service. No brainer.
Went yesterday evening for a nail in my tire. Ed was awesome, so friendly and helpful! Will definitely be returning!!! Also, the little cute rescues in the office made my day! I won’t tell you what they were because that would ruin the surprise.... you’ll have to go see for yourself!
Extremely friendly staff. Mike has fixed my poor Subaru at least three times now and has always been helpful!
Mike and Ed are wonderful. Price is right and great service
Been going to Auto Spot for years. Ed and Mike are great. Very knowledgeable
I cant say enough good things about Ed, Mike and the Auto Spot team. This is the place to find honesty and professionalism. I wont take my car anywhere else and I recommend these guys for all your automotive needs!
Local mom and pop shop. Family owned and operated. Turned an old dinner into a mechanic shop. They go above and beyond wants needed. Alway talk to Mike though. He secretly runs the place, knows his stuff, and take notes. Ed is the boss, and probably knows more than any one man should. He is single handedly the more important resource in the shop. Honesty, integrity, loyalty are word I would use to describe them. Be honest and straight with them. Betsy the cleaning lady is the best.
Ive been going to Ed and his son for years. I know that Im always going to get an honest answer with an affordable solution. No grey areas.
1/13/21 EDIT: I had to write another review because this place is STELLAR! The service and attention one gets is beyond great! I have called with questions and I am always greeted as if I was part of the Auto Spot family. I recommend this place 1000000% and I refuse to go anywhere else!I can happily say this was my first visit but not my last! What an amazing and friendly staff! They have won me over on the first visit .
SUPPORT FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES!! Ed and Mike are top notch and I have been very pleased with their service over many visits!
Professional and fast and my slingshot service here.
Great mechanic shop in south Florida. Reliable and trust worthy when it comes to anything with your car. Great prices and nice friendly staff.
FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL! We started taking our Polaris Slingshot there after searching for a good place up and down Broward County and I could not be happier! Highly recommend!
Just to moved to Pompano Beach and found Auto Spot on Google because of the excellent reviews, Near my Apt., and satisfied customers. I had some issues with my car overheating and met the owner Ed and told him that I was hurting for money because of the move and working less because of Covid-19. I had a broken radiator hose and a couple of other minor problems like a dead battery. Ed called me and said he repaired my old hose and was able to charge my battery to save me money. I knew right then and there that I was dealing with an honest and respectable repair shop. The whole crew there is knowledgeable and look out for their customers so that explains to me why they been in business for 47 years. I would recommend them to anyone for auto repairs.
The owners are the best and dont do work that doesnt need to be done best mechanics and prices in town thank you Auto Spot for all your great work I recommend these guys to all my friends and family....
As a single lady can I just say this was a pleasant experience. Never had that before when it comes to autos. Thank you Auto Spot from the girl from Alabama.
STOP YOUR SEARCH AND COME HERE NOW ! Auto Spot is the best mechanic shop I have ever experienced. If I wrote about EVERY DETAIL of how wonderful of a place this is my review would be a novel. It is a family owned shop and Ed & Mike are simply the best. They take great pride in their business. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome and trusting. They listen to your needs and problems and walk you through everything. They take care of you as if you were family. Ed helped us with a few problems with our truck and got it to brand new again and at a very fair price. You always leave here happy and with confidence in their work. There is a reason they have been running a successful business for years and years. I simply love this place and am so happy to have a reliable, trusting, dedicated and professional mechanic. You will be so happy your Yelp search led you to the Auto Spot.
Awesome job brought my slingshot and was in and out ! Thanks again!
I been taking my slingshot to them for everything. Their customer service is absolutely amazing. I would recomend anyone bringing their vehicle to them. They are my one stop shop for all my vehicles.Paula & RonaldThank you guys 👍
The Best! Great people, family owned, fair, honest, knowledgeable and quick. The only spot my family and I go to for going on over 13 years.
Great people & service!
Great family owned auto shop. Good prices and great customer service. Very happy that I took my car here. I will also definitely be back if I have car problems.
Extremely satisfied with their car repair and customer service. Check them out!!
Ed and the crew take care of you in a professional and timely manner and with a smile.
This is a little local repair shop that has been around since the seventies. We stopped to have our brake lights checked and they were quick and efficient. I overheard some of the prices being quoted for repairs I have had done in the past and I would go there in a heartbeat if I did not live on the other side of the state.
Great placed, whenever I have any issue with any of the house cars where I can’t do the job myself I take it to them. Not only that one time I asked for an alignment and they came back and told we could do it but won’t last you since your strut mounts are shot. And they knew I could do that sort of work so before they went ahead they told what I should before the alignment I did it, came back as the happily did my alignment. And I’m very picky person, that alignment better than I’ve ever had for the life of my car.
Ed and Mike are the best! Went to a dealership first and they told me I needed a new engine, took it for a second option to the auto spot and they correctly diagnosed a simple issue that cost a fraction of the price! Not only did they save me $, but they make you feel like family! Will never go anywhere else again!! Your guys are the best!
Great service and friendly people 😁😎
Ed and team are friendly and always willing to help.
I was a first time customer. I went to them because of the positive reviews. On my first visit I had an issue and I thought I made a mistake by going there. But then the day after my visit, Ed the owner called me and he fixed the problem for me. I have not seen that kind of follow up in years. I was very pleased. Their is no such thing as perfection. Issues will happen from time to time no matter where you go but how Ed addressed it is what I think sets them apart. Their is a reason they have been their for a long time with lots of positive reviews. I will definitely be going back.
You know those auto repair shops where you leave feeling like youve just been had? Forget about that with Auto Spot. I went there with both of my front power windows not working and they charged me a couple hundred bucks less than what the dealership and other repair shops were charging AND they turned it around in one day. Oh, and the other repair shops stated they would have to order the pieces so I wouldnt have the windows working for a couple of days. This place is gold, and its all because they wont take you for a ride (pun intended) and they respect the customer. Ill definitely be back as needed.
Have you ever found something so good that you didnt want to share it with anyone? This is one of those times, but these guys are just too awesome. I came in one day just asking for prices and got a good feeling right off the bat. I am glad I trusted my gut because I just took my car in for a bunch of long overdue repairs. Ed treated me like a family member and everything was done expertly. Thanks guys!
Always an incredibly awesome experience 🙂💖
Great friendly fast service! Excellent mechanics. Made servicing my car a pleasant experience. Very reasonable prices!
I came in today for a leak in my tire at 3:45pm on a Friday. They fixed it in TEN MINUTES! NO WAITING AT ALL. They are the best auto shop in the community, very family oriented. The owner is very nice. Thanks again!
Owner was very helpful and service completed on time.
A friend of mine recommended The auto spot for anything and everything for my car..in Feb of this year my tire exploded so I decided to check this place out.. I ended up needing four new tires, a new battery, and a couple of other things... I went back last week to have my car looked at and they determined I needed new rear brake drums...I came back today and it is probably the only auto mechanic shop I havent dreaded walking in to.. the prices are reasonable, the owners are personable and honest, and they explain things in ways I can understand (car talk isnt my area of expertise). I would recommend the auto spot to everyone!
Great service, awesome staff. Family owned and goes above and beyond to help you out. Honest and quick and reliable
I was in a real bind last week with my car and needed some major front end work done in order for me to stay on the road. I use my car for work all week long and most weekends. Not only was I able to go to Ed and get a quote before they touched my car, but they were also able to take me in right away.Now Im sure everyone has gone to a mechanic before and received a quote prior to them actually getting under the hood and more times than not you go back to pick up your car and the bill is significantly higher than estimated... well, it turns out I needed a few more things done to my car that wasnt mentioned in the quote.... But, guess what... I wasnt charged any extra money.. Ed honored my initial quote and took care of the other repairs at no additional charge...Seriously, with all these mechanics out there just trying to make a quick buck, its nice to finally find a shop that takes pride in their work and is honest with their pricing. Ed, Mike, Steve.. It was a pleasure, thanks again yall!
Ed, Mike, Steve have always been great to me, my wife, family and friends. I highly recommend and trust this company.
Lovely atmosphere and perfect experience
Good bunch of people, friendly and fair. Got my brakes and rotors replaced very quickly and they work like a charm. My E brake however had stopped working afterwards (Manual)... but Ed was very accommodating and had me in to have a quick adjustment. Now it works better than when I bought it :D
Very helpful with small issue. Got me in and out quickly.
There is a reason you see a lot of 5-star ratings here. Auto Spot is a group of good people. Yes the hours are a bit tight but they work with you on a lot of things to make your life easy. Having been there since 1974 and still around actually means they must be doing something right!
Whenever I take my car to a garage it is always a scary experience. If they tell me that my flux capacitor is broke..... Well then I say...... How much does it cost for a new flux capacitor???. However, at the Auto Spot in Pompano Beach, they explained things to me in a way that I could understand. Its hard to express how valuable that is to me. It is refreshing to know that there are still good people in this world. If you are looking for quality work at a reasonable price, I highly recommend this place.
Great service, honest and nice people. As a tourist its tough to know where to go. I definitely recommend this place.
Ed was such a gentleman the whole time I was there. I drove down to Pompano beach from New York, it was my first time doing the drive, and when we arrived I noticed one of my tires had a slow leak. I was dreading dealing with a tire shop, I thought they wouldve saw New York plates, and would of ripped me off!! But Ed treated me and my family like his family, he sincerely wanted to make sure our tires were in the best shape possible for the drive back up to New York, he explained to us what we needed, showed us the source of the leak, and explained our options for repair,with all the pros and cons of each option, and gave us a fair price for what we needed. I DID NOT GET RIPPED OFF!!!!! The female behind the counter (Eds wife) was very nice, and made my 4 year old son and wife feel very comfortable. I will definitely recommend this place to visitors and locals alike!!!5 STARS!!!!
The true meaning of Customer Service. Honest good hearted people work here. This can sometimes be a rarity in South Florida but this place is the exception. They took my truck even though they were extremely busy and got it back to me the same day. They now have a new loyal customer! Highly recommended!
Friendly family auto repair shop. They were quick to get me in and out. Only downfall was the markup on parts was very high.
Ed and his son really give you the best service out there been going here for years and they are the best prices and work in broward
I drove one of my clients there to het her car. She was very happy with their price and services.
I noticed that this shop had many great reviews on Google Maps, so I tried them out for an oil change. Price was a bit higher than some of the quickie lube places but you will never meet a nicer bunch of folks, and there was no pressure to fix anything additional - which made my visit easy going and relaxing. This is definitely a Mom and Pop type of shop, and these days that is something I will happily go out of my way to support!
Very very good service pretty good price. And the main point, they did everything very fast!I been in a couple services before, they promised to help me only on a next day, but this guys finish they work after half hour. They saved for me $230 .If you need fast help, I recommend Auto spot
Its as if it was my own family business the way I get treated here. Mike is really relaxed, knowledgeable and no pressure. My service here on my 2015 Jetta TDI was when I first moved here to Florida back in November. When it was time to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. They got me in right away! Saved me a huge headache.
Been coming here for years! Owner is super friendly and highly knowledgeable. Prices are fair and repairs are quick. Looking for a new mechanic, this is your place!
On August 21, 2014, I took my car to a dealership for repairs and the tech quoted me a price hat was well over my budget. I left the dealership feeling a little down, and as I was driving down Federal Highway, I spotted The Auto Spot. I pulled in and was greeted by the owner Ed. Needless to say, he repaired my car for half the price the other dealer quoted me!!! I would like to thank Ed and his staff for being so honest and professional all the while putting a smile back on my face. Too bad they can only receive 5 stars, because in my book the are a 10!!! And to top it off, I received a free mug and pen!!!! Auto spot has now gained a loyal lifetime customer!!!
Great family run shop. Fast work and best prices.
I found this shop here on Google. I saw 17 stellar reviews of this shop. They are accurate. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. They go the extra mile. Do a top notch job, and told me up front what needed to be done.
Wow, what can I say about this place? EXCELLENT customer service and great people to do business with. I recently purchased a used vehicle and was unsure what it all needed. I took my vehicle in for an oil change and a possible spark plug change. Auto Spot called me on my phone to keep me updated with the repairs. They informed me I didnt need spark plug changes as all was well and called to tell me this. Alot of other mechanics just do the work to get the $$$. Very honest place and secured a customer for life. I will not go anywhere else besides the Auto Spot. What great customer service and good honest people who care for their customers.
Let me share my experience with this place. I’m visiting Florida from New Jersey and last night in my car Ford Escape check engine light came on. Called local Ford dealer and had the answer that my car could be checked on Saturday ( I’m leaving tomorrow, Friday). To have peace in my mind I stopped by at Auto Stop and asked the owner if he could scan car computer for the problem. He asked his mechanic to do it and found out this is not big issue but should be addressed upon my arrival to New Jersey. I wanted to pay him for diagnostic fee but there was no charge even knowing that we might will not meet in the future. Great experience. Thank you.
This team of professionals diagnose issues correctly, stand behind their work, and keep you informed of potential issues. I have referred several, pleasantly surprised, friends.
Owner Eddie and Son Mike are the best !!They will make sure you are happy when you leave with your vehicle.These two will bend over backwards to help you..
I was in Florida on business using a friends car. The car developed a severe engine knock and I pulled into Auto Spot. Proprietor was courteous and diagnosed the problem quickly. He offered to have me dropped off at my appointment while they fixed the broken engine bracket. The car was fixed, the price reasonable and the owner of Auto Spot a true gentleman. Thanks Auto Spot!
Great customer service! Family owned business. Honest, reliable, and efficient. Highly recommend!
Excellent and honest service
Heard some noise when I was braking and stopped in for a diagnosis. Ed got somebody to pull the wheels off my car and showed me what I needed.Estimate was fair and he had me finished in about an hour,what more could you ask for.Would definitely recommend and will be back in the future.Thanks to the crew at Auto Spot !
Best Auto Shop in South Florida! Ed, the owner, and his son are the most honest mechanics in town ! Do yourself a favor and NEVER take your vehicle anywhere else for service, just call Ed at The Auto Spot!
Friendly professional service. Honest family run establishment..wont go anywhere else
Once you come into Auto Spot and experience dealing with Ed and Mike, you realize there is no reason to ever go anywhere else for your repair needs. These are quality guys who honor their employees and customers.
Quick service, changed transmission fluid and checked quickly and drove to check out
Fast service, good prices and friendly employees. Good customer service is rare nowadays so it is always nice when you find a company that still cares.
Great..honest and beyond trustworthy!!!
My family and I drove down to Pompano beach for our family vacation all the way from Charlotte, NC and experienced a few unexpected car problems along the way. One of those problems possibly involved my transmission...not something you want to deal with while you are 10 hours away from home base. Being in a town we are unfamiliar with, and not know anybody...we went to look at reviews of local shops. Autospot got raving reviews from locals and visitors alike, so we called up and explained our situation. The lady on the phone was very pleasant and told us to bring it in when we can and they will happy to take a look.We came by yesterday a bit before they were going to close up shop(on a friday), but the owner(cant remember his name, sorry!) didnt shoo us away or make it seem like it was an inconvenience. In fact he was incredibly helpful to us, had our vehicle looked at and solved our issue. Pretty quick too. His tech was very informative on the issue we were dealing with, as to why/how/what it was and what to look for if it persists. They even sent my daughter home with some souvenirs. Autospot made us feel comfortable and and ease as soon as we walked in, even though I was possibly dealing with a very expensive problem. This is a perfect example of an honest, knowledgeable, and dependable business. Thank you guys!
Ed Waldhorn who owns the AutoSpot is really a honest and sincere man and so is he son. They tell you like it is and dont fix things that do not need fixing. He worked on my 1993 Corvette, where the brain died, optispark was in bad shape, changed dry rotted window seals and did a lot of work to the engine.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment!
Honest and reliable. Family owned! Simply the best!
Great people, great service
This place is awesome!
Honest and affordable, Ive been a customer for 15 years
Wow. What a bizarre experience I had with Mr Waldhorn yesterday. Let me preface this by letting you know that I have been taking my car EXCLUSIVELY to the Auto Spot for close to a year and half now, and have spent nearly 2,000 dollars in that time- Up until yesterday, I havent had any complaints (as far as I was aware).Dropped my car off for some work yesterday, and after the initial call from Mike on what needed to be done, I received a second, more urgent call from Ed. His tone was helpful and urgent in saying I had a BIG problem with my wheels/lugs and that someone has DONE this to my car via using an auto wrench.Well, then I reminded him that they have been the only ones to work on my car for over a year and that I had come in just a few months ago to have new tires installed and a rotation. Makes sense for me to bring that up, right?Immediately Mr. Waldhorns tone changed with me from helpful to irritated and angry. He said things to me like, Well what do you want me to do about it? and Crucify me then! when all I was asking was why am I just now finding out about such a huge problem when they removed all four of my wheels only a few months ago. He continued to say Im not the one that did it, The tech did this and the did tech that etc etc. He even went as far to tell me twice that I make him want to put a gun to his head and blow his brains out. Ver batim. Twice.It is evident from his reaction that the problem with my car is due to negligence within his shop and employees (you see, my wheels have a lock, and an auto wrench is not supposed to be used on it, but laziness prevails sometimes), and rather than accept responsibility, he has a temper tantrum like a child. I honestly couldnt believe it, especially after having been going there for some time.So now, I have a 1,200 mile road trip and no possible way to change a flat tire along the way without a tow and a mechanic! Thanks Auto Spot! I have been a loyal, well paying customer for over a year. Perhaps it is time for Mr. Waldhorn to retire, at least from customer service. Even my boss, a business owner himself, couldnt believe his behavior, as he assisted me in picking up my car, and Ed just couldnt help himself by carrying on in the shop in front of us both. Mike sat there silently, I am sure it is not the first time he has had to deal with this type of behavior either.I will be taking my hard earned money and my raving reviews of you elsewhere, and I will be warning people of your techs negligence, lack of attention to detail, and your inability to cope with mistakes. Also Ed- You should seek help for your suicidal thoughts- telling a customer you want to kill yourself twice isnt a good sign! Best of luck sir! :)
Excellent trustworthy service for over 4 decades!
2003 Buick Rendez-vous; Engine Check Light on; Called for a RDV i had on same day.
