Staff was very friendly and professional. Scott went above and beyond to make sure all repairs were made. They were quick and the price was fair. I highly recommend Furrin Auto.
My experience dealing with Furrin Auto for the first time was great . Nicole(customer service)was wonderful.I will certainly take my Mercedes back to Furrin Auto 🚘 for any needed repairs or service.Overall satisfaction 😌
Yeah, this is the place to take your car, prompt, quality service with quality parts at reasonable prices.Nicole (service advisor) is awesome, knowledgeable, confidence inspiring and friendly. Kudos to her and Spider (technician) if your Euro car needs attention Furrin is the place to go.Our “local Euro car dealer” (seemingly) doesn’t want you junking up their fine establishment if your car is over 5 years old. If your not interested in purchasing a new car they snub you, sad but true. Furrin is unpretentious, down to earth people who will treat you right. They’re reasonably priced, friendly and prompt. You won’t be disappointed.
Furrin Auto is the jewel of Tallahasse’s auto shop service market. Spider, Chuck, Nicole and all of the awesome sales and service staff make the experience actually wonderful. When you dropped off your car at Furrin, it’s one less thing you have to think about because they will do the absolute best to fix your car! Exceptionally talented mechanics (they work on my Porsche and keep her humming like a dream!) are passionate about the vehicles they work on and love their career.I highly recommend them and I’m so thankful for such an amazing experience every time!
My son attends FSU and called to let me know the car had lost all coolant. We got the car to Furrin on a Sunday. Spider, one of the mechanics for Furrin, happened to be in the lot. He was super friendly and told me where I could leave the keys and a note. I spoke to Nicole early on Monday morning who indicated that she would see what she could do to work the car in even though I didn’t have an appointment. Even though they were slammed, Spider took the time to look at the car and had it fixed by Tues. afternoon. I received excellent communication from Nicole throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier with the process and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely use Furrin again in the future!
This is an excellent German auto repair shop. The staff is extremely professional, articulate, and very thorough with regard to listening and explaining automobile problems. I have 2003 Mercedes which required level B as well as power seat repair. They did an excellent job repairing everything. I strongly recommend Furrin Auto without reservation.
This is the BEST auto place in town! I drive an older BMW and they are always affordable and very understanding. No matter what problems I am having with my car, I know without a doubt that they will be professional and do a fantastic job. I highly recommend them to anyone needing car repairs.I am also a college student at FSU and had been struggling to find an affordable shop that wouldn’t rip me off, do not hesitate to send your college kids here! They are amazing!
My experience at Furrin Auto was great. First of all Mrs. Nicole Melton was a wonderful advisor, she was very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Mrs. Melton communication with me was awesome about the services needed and parts which needed to be replaced on my vehicle. Now my vehicle is running great. I recommend anyone who is having problems with their vehicle to stop by for a estimate and you will be glad you did.
Nicole and the team at Furrin Auto is literally a life saver! I went to the stealership for a spark plug replacement and one was stuck and they didn’t try to remove it however still charged me $1000 for replacing three out of the four plugs. So I went to Furrin after a few recommendations and I’m grateful they took to the time to remove the stuck plug without any damage to my cylinder head (which cost thousands of $$$ to replace). Definition of going above and beyond! I’m new to Tallahassee and will be taking my Mercedes here for future services and repairs!
Honestly, this is the only place I take my car in all of Tallahassee now. The people are kind, and they always ensure that I know what they’ve done on my car and why the cost is what it is. I very much appreciate seeing the itemized receipts as it helped me compare to other places in town (Furrin was less expensive so I always just go here). They definitely treat you like you are valued. They will pick you up, as well as drop you off, when you’re without your car and have even provided a loaner on occasions. I have a mini and there is no place in town I’d take it other than here. Nicole (receptionist), Spider (mechanic), and Tom (owner) are great. Spider even took the time to show me how I could do some of the things on my own, like check my oil, the pressure number for my tires, and the line for my coolant.TLDR: great people, great service, great price.
Furrin is absolutely amazing, they are extremely accommodating, timely and do honest work. Highly recommend them for any servicing or car issues.
I have taken my cars to Furrin Auto for many years and they have always done an excellent job. They are friendly, professional, thorough and reasonably priced, and i would recommend them to anyone who needs to have a Mercedes-Benz car serviced.
This was my first visit and I will be a customer as long as I live in Tallahassee They were friendly and very informative from start to finish . All fees were explained to me in detail then told me what needed to be done . It was repaired in a timely manner my BMW will go no where else very professional The. charges were very reasonable .
Furrin replaced the front and rear brakes on my Mercedes GLS. An honest mistake was made but the situation was handled in a very professional, customer service-oriented manner. They immediately took responsibility and provided a resolution that left us feeling more than satisfied. Nice, honest people who care. Thanks Furrin!
I highly recommend Furrin Auto Repair.The message of low coolant level came on as I was traveling from Miami to Tallahassee. I called 2 other businesses for help. There was no appointments available. Then I was able to talk with Nicole on the 3rd business call to Furrin Auto. I explain to her what was my problem in the middle of Tropical Storm Elsa. She listened without making promises. I explain that I will be traveling back on Saturday. She said bring it in..We will see what the mechanics that specialize in Mercedes can do. My car was diagnose. Now, it is time to order parts. The parts was ordered. It was an excellent job done. I was able to travel back to Miami.
Had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone that may need some work done on your vehicle. 👍
Great customer service experience @ Furring Auto. Shout out to Nicole and the entire staff. Very friendly, very knowledgeable & extremely honest 😇. First impressions are lasting one. I will be going back to get future repairs done. Highly satisfied and I highly recommend their shop for auto maintenance. They will do the job the right way and treat you how you want to be treated. Great people + great business = happy clients! 😇
Ive had bad experiences prior to taking my 2011 Benz to furrin. Furrin auto was very professional and did a great job on my car! I also got my car back in a timely manner. Im very pleased with the results and look forward to working with them in the future if any more problems should come up!
Great customer service and very satisfied with all aspects. Nicole is one of the most pleasant customer service rep I’ve met. Had B service done on my GLK 350. Wouldn’t take it anywhere else! Thanks Tom and your staff!
Its hard to find Quality BMW Repairs at a reasonable price, especially in Tallahassee. But if that what you need, I highly recommend this shop. They dont play around with your time or money. The Mechanics Know what they are talking about and get your vehicle back in your hands asap and your repairs guaranteed.
Customer service is excellent. Repairs are always done correctly. My car is 11 years old. The work Furrin has done to my car is priceless. I will use Furrin for any issues I have.
Mr. Tom and his employees were excellent! Very professional, and made a stressful repair less stressful by beating other competitors prices have and treating you like a person not an opportunity to make money. I will be going back with any future repairs that may come along and would recommend them EVERYONE!!!!!! That’s Furrin for being awesome!
Very impressed with this place, got my AC fixed within a couple of hours. Very friendly and good customer service. Will definitely bring my vehicle back anytime I need any type of repair. So glad this place was recommended to me and it saved me from having to go to the Audi dealer for repair.
Nicole was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and was able to find the tires I needed. She got me in and my wait was very short compared to the dealerships I normally visit. Thanks Nicole, Thanks Furrin Auto. I will visit hear again for my Jaguar needs.
Nicole up front is extremely nice and helpful. The experts at Furrin had a hard task getting my boxster up and running after sitting way too long. They did an amazing job. Will never take her anywhere else in Tallahassee.
Wonderful repair facility. Good work, professionalism and convenient.
I’ve been taking my car here for years and there isn’t a mechanic that I trust more than the ones at Furrin! I’ve never had to take my car back for a failed repair, unlike other places I’ve gone to in the past. It’s a little more than going to a super lube or chain mechanic but the quality & lifetime of the repair is always better! Can’t speak more highly of the team there!
Professional customer service!! Awesome technicians!!!! My Jaguar is running a whole lot better 💪🏽 I will be referring you guys big time!! Thank you Nicole!
Great staff and great service!! I walked in needing my battery replaced and they fit me in after I had been to a few places who couldn’t do it! Truly life savers, and they were kind and funny (a bonus to ease my stressed mind)!!
Good customer service, they also got right on the job. I have no complaints. Good Job!
Good service, friendly competent staff.
Been using Furrin for many moons and had very good experiences here. The mechanics are super knowledgeable and will listen to your problems about your vehicle. Mike, the mechanic (not the band) helps me on the regular with my vehicle and has forty years experience of working on cars. If you drive an import European vehicle, this is the place to take your car.
True professionals Highly recommended them to anyone who needs some service done on their vehicle Hi Mrs Nicole
I’ve been really happy taking my VW here. They do great work!
Furrin is awesome. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I take my Mini Cooper there for everything.
Don’t let the exterior fool you. They’ll save you time and money.
Furrin is the only place in town Id take my VW. Honest and reliable, they always deliver.
What a great experience! Staff was courteous, knowledgeable & empathetic. Thank you for you super service!!
Excellent service and customer service…I WILL be back!!
My Audi A8 was over heating. They diagnosed it was the thermostat and replaced it for a manageable price
Great customer service
These guys are legit!!Talk to Nicole! Best money spent!
I have used Furin Auto two times thus far for service on my BMW and both times I have been extremely pleased with the pricing and service!
Took my car to get fixed, they highball me with an outrageous number of $4k to fix my car, then when asked for a breakdown of prices they change it to $2,500. I leave it there for a week and accidentally left a ramen packet in there. I now have rat feces in my car. They cut the cord to my washer fluid, scraped the cowling, and broke the battery cover. Will not be returning.
I was driving through Tallahassee and got stranded because my car wouldn’t start. The VW dealership jump started my car but told me they couldn’t help me for days and wished me “good luck” on my 300 mile drive, though my car would not restart when turned off and I was in an unknown city.I called Furrin and they told me to come on over.They were kind, professional, got me on the road and SAFELY.HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Quality service. Happy to have a great place for my vehicles. Long standing, local business that did far more than I expected for a very fair price. Thanks Spider for the nice work.
My experience with Furrin Auto is friendly and straightforward service.
One of the most well renowned independent shops in the area for Import vehicles. Parking lot is a bit tight but it serves its purpose. Freindly and helpful staff.
They fit me in when I didn’t have an appointment and took very good care of me
I always got great and timely service. They are honest and get the job done right. Prices are much more fair than other places. You get OEM parts for your vehicles. They are open early and not close until 6pm. Make an appointment so that they can get you in quicker.
I regret taking my car here. Almost $10,000 later and its still smoking shaking, no heater and idling up ALL of these issues wasnt a problem when I dropped it off. I had to return it 3 times after picking it up and this last time I just refuse to send it back because I know they are intentionally messing up my car. I guess they feel that I am black woman that dont know better. But I know I shouldnt have paid that much money for a ac compressor. If I had enough money I would sue. But they broke me and i cant afford to even pay for their horrible work. Now Im on the bus and using uber while my car sits in the yard after paying thousands to fix it.
Excellent! Great customer service, reasonable price. Thank you Nicole for going over and beyond. I’m extremely grateful for your professionalism.I highly recommend it. I dealt with Nicole over the phone, the service was exceptional.
Great service. Great knowledge. Great price.
My car, a 2005 Jaguar was taken in for the passenger airbag light that was on, they kept my car for 6 months and was not able to fixed it. When I picked up my car I didn’t inspect it like I should have before leaving the shop, I took it home and started to wash it and realized that the out side mirror had been replaced and the trunk had a crack right underneath the tag. I called and spoke with the Secretary about the damage and the driver side mirror and she was so nasty, Tom seem to be an good person but he needs to be more responsible for what his employees are doing. I want be taking nor recommending anyone to take their car there.
Needed our AC on our car fixed and this place was fast and professional. In this heat we needed ASAP and their rates were reasonable for the costs for parts/labor.
Tom & crew experienced and go out of their way to help you!
Could not even manage to return my husbands phone call earlier this week. Completely unprofessional and would never recommend.
Super nice people
The entire experience was great, They are welcoming and friendly. They take pride in their work. I will be back
They kept me updated on each stage of the repairs.
Good services.
Best place for your bmw lady at desk knows a lot about cars th e guy who worked on my car is the m an
Professional & Quick
Excellent automotive service experience.
I brought my 2005 VW Golf 2.0L Gas vehicle in for a leak in the radiator. The folks are nice people and the service was done but I will not be taking my car back. Here is why:1. The replacement of the radiator is a cumbersome job on my car cause the front end needs to be opened up. I understand this, but after doing some research on the typical cost of the job and the parts, this job should have cost 500 or 600 tops. They charged me 1000+ to get it done.2. A couple of days after getting the car back, my engine light comes on. Well I finally got a chance to check it. Turns out that the code is for the Secondary Air Injection system. Taking a look at the engine, it turns out that my secondary air injection pump had been busted from all 3 of its mounts and the line from the manifold was broken.Looking at the engine further to try and figure out what happened, I found evidence of something heavy and steel being dropped on top of my motor. There are grommet gouges and a deep grove in the metal of my intake manifold on the top of my engine. There is also evidence of serious downward force on several pieces beyond the secondary air injection pump, such as my oil dip stick tube being busted.Furrin Auto techs did not tell me any of this. Needless to say, I will not be taking my vehicle back there. I will also do what I can to discourage others from getting ripped off in the same manner.
Awesome customer service and care! Jennifer is very polite and really cares about the customers. I would definitely recommend the shop to anyone needing service! Go try them out you wont be disappointed! Thanks very much guys!
I painted this establishment inside after the remodel. and from a 3rd person veiw.there very professional. and know what there doing .a bit expensive for me so i do my own work on the truck but if u got tokens furrin auto where u want to go
Best shop in Tallahassee! Thorough, thoughtful and quality service. Real, friendly people. Well run shop with mechanics that specialize in particular makes of vehicle.. Highly recommended - has saved me many times!
What ever you do, do not take your car to this repair shop. They are a bunch of thieves. Took my car to have one of the struts changed. Once they were finished and I went to pick up the car, they told me that my brake pump was bad and needed to be replaced. The cost was over $500. Decided not to do so even though they told me it would be very dangerous to drive the car in its current state. Took the vehicle to another shop close by. The mechanic there told me there was absolutely not nothing wrong with the vehicle. Be careful with these guys. I wouldn’t trust them at all
Ive got to say that these guys have some of the most impressive customer service Ive seen in a while. It quickly became apparent to them that I was not terribly knowledgeable when it came to cars. So after they diagnosed what was wrong with my Jetta, I came into the shop and was greeted by a mini presentation on exactly what was wrong (inclusive of pictures), and what the consequences of not fixing it would be. They even sent me a follow up letter in the mail to ensure that everything was still working properly. Furrin Auto will be my go to shop as long as I live in Tallahassee.
I go here for all of my current cars maintenance (2016 Ford Fusion). They are quick, kind, honest, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable about many makes and models of newer and older cars. I highly recommend this business.
I was once a loyal customer of the Furrin Auto, but 1 incident caused me NEVER to return again. My Mercedes C230 signal switch was not working and I went to Furrin. After 2 hours of diagnostic, costing me $190, Brandon told me it would cost me another $700 to fixed it? What?! $900+ to fix a signal switch? They claimed that the column sleeve was moving and a repair kit costing $450 is needed to fixed it. Due to the high cost, I decided not to fixed it.I went another workshop, free for diagnostic (Furrin charged me $190) and quoted me $270 for signal switch change (not some column sleeve issue). Standing by their words, they offer no charge if is not fixed. I decided to give it a try and guess what, is fixed! (saving me $500) But sadly, I wasted $190 on Furrin AutoCut it short, I will NEVER return to Furrin again. Costly and no guarantee. You should really think twice, maybe three or four times if you wanna spend the money with Furrin Auto
Very pricey but very knowledgeable about fixing your car and great customer service
Very good and nice people
Always prompt with service and very honest.
The customer service, speed of service and professionalism is awesome here.
I have been doing some of my services there(I compare my prices between them and the dealership) for over three years and the Quality of work is like going to the dealerships also the prices is affordable. So far so good.
Replacement of alternator
The owner, Tom is great to do business with! The people are friendly and Jennifer treats customers with care and respect. I highly recommend them!
Went in to have the oil changed in my BMW 325i was given a price before I left it for the day. When I came back to pick it up they decided to charge me more because, “ it took more oil then I thought it would”. How would they suddenly not know how much oil is required for an oil change? When I asked the owner’s son this question, the guy was nasty about it. Needless to say I can’t recommend this place.
Only place I would take my vintage 73 VW Super Beetle. They were instrumental in getting her up and running after 23 years and currently help keep her running. Very fair and they never do anything that isnt needed.
Amazing job! Hospitable people welcoming informative & efficient. Thank you so much!
Took my Audi in for service for a possible transmission problem.They had it for two days,and there was no communication on what was going on with the car. Finally I decided to just check on it after work. When I got there I asked the guy at the front desk what was going on with the car. He acted as if he didnt know which car was mine so I reminded him. He explained to that they couldnt get a reading off the car and that it may have to overhaul the transmission or put a new one in. I brought it to them cause I was referred by another transmission place that they were the only one that could work on it in Tallahassee.If I wanted someone to guess at what was wrong with the car I wouldve took it to a mechanic who does work in his backyard and yet I was charged 128.00 for a guess. No diagnosis,no communication,car not fixed= poor service
Absolutely worst service ever !! I took my car there, it took double the time they said it would and no communication at all.... We had to call there every time to see where my car was at with being fixed and they didnt even call when it was done.. They also said they would provide me a courtesy car for the 4 weeks it was in the shop but no call.. How do they expect you to go without your vehicle for 4 weeks when you have to work!!! TERRIBLE place and they charge outrageous amounts! Stay away. Very unprofessional and terribly ran...
I took my car to Furrin when I was in college and my son has now started FSU. His Jetta wouldnt start the other day and we had it towed to Furrin. They did a great job for him just like they did for me when I was there. I see that other reviewers have complained about the price. Furrin is expensive but they are worth every dime you spend. When you buy one of the cars they service you have to expect to spend more than other cars. I feel good that there is a shop that will take care of my sons car that I trust and has been in business for so long. Thank you Furrin for the consistent good work you do.
Reasonably priced, fast, quality service, and friendly and knowledgeable personnel. Highly recommended!
My experience with Furin Auto is I bought a used Jaguar from a used car lot and come to find out it had some serious issues. I had already gotten estimates from other places but I took it to Furin Auto because of their reputation as being the best in the business. They are not cheap and you get what you pay for but were great about doing an evaluation and letting me know up front how much the cost would be to fix the issues and any other stuff they thought needed to be done. They did a great job and I love the car now. I would definitely recommend Furin Auto.
First rate service and they went out of their way to obtain a necessary part for my car! 😊
A few weeks ago I took my 2010 Mini Cooper S to Furrin Auto because it was making a very violent rattling noise whenever it started up and shifted gears. The noise had happened previously (to not as much an extent), however it had always corrected itself with an oil change. I was describing this to Tom when the companys phone rang and he answered. I was completely fine with this, because I was in no hurry and he was the only one available. The phone conversation seemed pretty concise, with minimal small talk. Im not sure if he did it because he wanted to appease me or what, but he proceeded (when the customer was describing a problem) to take the phone away from his ear, roll it around along with his eyes. Try picturing a long, drawn out conversation with a person that goes Blah, blah, blah in a sarcastic manner. So this is the first thing that made me uneasy- did this man show that sort of disrespect to all of his customers?Another reason the service here is so terrible is because whatever they did to my car (if they even did anything) took about 4 hours. Like previously stated, I was in no rush and I simply killed time on campus right across the street. I had originally scheduled an oil change and a diagnostic for my car, which they did NEITHER of. Why did it take 4 HOURS to let me know this??I am a 20 year old, petite female. I am aware that stigmas exist that make me out to be naive when it comes to auto repairs. Although I dont claim to know much about cars, I take pride in having a retired Navy machinist for a mother who taught me basic concepts, so I knew not to trust these crooks!Furrin Auto told me that my 4 year old engine with 50,000 miles on it that was STILL RUNNING had to be replaced. Why, you ask? Because their ability to hear the engine run, and the fact that the dipstick for the oil was stuck in its chamber. They did not even hook the car up to a diagnostic or open the casing to the engine. Even though I saw right through this story, I played along and naively asked how much it would cost- $7285 was my quote.What floored me the most and secured my distrust in these men was the talk I had with Tom before I left. He was faking concern and advising that itd be more cost effective to sell my car on Craigslist or somewhere. His exact words (I made it an effort to memorize something as shady as this!) were You could have sold your car last week before the noise started, hell, you couldve even this morning when we drove it and it didnt make the noise. I mean, Im not telling you to deceive anyone, buuuutt.... if they didnt hear that noise you could make a pretty penny and theyd be none the wiser! HAS THIS MAN EVER HEARD OF LEMONS LAW?!!?!? You know, the one that legally requires you inform buyers of any major defects? Say he did know... He then blatantly told me, a supposed naive college girl, to break the law.My car was taken a week later to Tom Bush MINI in Jacksonville. Turns out what I had told them I suspected to be the problem was 100% spot on- it was my timing chain and carbon buildup. Of course when I told them my suspicions, they laughed in my face in a Oh how cute, she thinks she knows about cars! fashion.So in short, I wasted $40 and 4 hours for these sexist pigs to listen to my car noise and poke around my dipstick. I was lied to and was told to break the law. I thank my lucky stars that I had common sense and they obviously took for granted the idea that I hadnt any. It saved me over $4,000. I have tried to be as thorough and objective in my retelling of this experience, so I apologize for a super long review! Hopefully it helps you!
Made appointment for previously diagnosed issue with time to order parts ahead of appointment. Dropped car for appointment, no parts ordered, no communication, 2 days later still no parts, we had a tough week Now cant start till Monday... Complete waste of time and inconvenience. Paid for my $125 oil change and $35 tire inspection... And RAN to Capital BMW based on reviews.
A bit pricey but great v.w work
Quote to get my Audi A6 battery replaced was a couple hundred more than the dealership! Extremely dissapointed i always get dealership price first so i know im not getting jerked around if i got to less experienced places, maybe it was because im a woman but im a woman thay knows my car nice try tho will never go here and dont recommend!
Very reliable,great office staff.
I only trust Furrin to work on my Mini Cooper. The work is always professional.
Great service. Thank you very much.
This place is AMAZING, and all the employees are so wonderful and helpful
I was a visiting scholar of FSU. I went Furrin Auto for flushing transmission oil of my car, VW.But, they were not kind to me and did wrong way to flush the transmission of my car. It was waste of time and money for me at that time. I have to find a mechanic to flush my trasmission again.Furrin Auto is the worst shop Ive ever visited in the world.
As always great service from Furrin. Approved me at work and picked me up, Thanks!
Jennifer always makes my service a pleasure. Shes friendly and explains everything in detail before asking you to pay for services!
