Hands down the best Auto service around! They beat the dealership prices by at least and sometimes more than 25% of estimate. If youre looking for customer service - look no further - they treat you like family!!

I can’t say enough about Ron’s auto. Very professional, nice, personal and honest. I was using another repair shop and they just never could get the job done right the first time so I decided to find another repair shop. After reading reviews I settled on Ron’s and I’m glad I did. I brought my Jeep and my Vett to Ron’s for service. Both vehicles where done with in 2 weeks with really no appointment. Both cars are running like new thanks to Ron and Brad. Keep doing what your doing and you just added another loyal customer to your business.Thank you🙏🏼

Ron and his team of professionals are everything your looking for in a trustworthy auto repair service shop! And they communicated daily to keep me informed! Best of all they had a loaner car at no cost for me to use during my repair! Blessed to have been referred to them!

I called to ask if I could stop in to have my tire pressure checked after the icon would not turn off. Brad said “SURE”. I was there about 30 minutes later, and the owner himself took care of the car. A very nice experience from start to finish.And no charge! Thanks Ron and team.

Know how everyone is always searching for that honest garage that does great work at fair prices? This is the place! Ron and his team really care about delivering quality work and looking after their customers. Spend five minutes here and you will see customers smiling, waving, and actually enjoying getting their vehicles serviced. Everyone here understands that they are saving a ton by not going to the dealership and are having better mechanics working on there vehicles. No over torqued bolts, unnecessary services, and tricks. Just honest guys who care.I have been around cars and mechanics for a long time. Take my advice and just go here. You will be happy you did.

It’s really nice to have a place that’s not going to overcharge or sell you something that you don’t need. Here’s a place you can just drop your car and know that your not going to be taken advantage of.Keep up the great work Ron 👍

Took my Dodge Dakota to get a stalling issue looked at. Diagnoses was a bad pcm. I was told no one had a pcm. Then I was told a junk yard had one for 600 dollars. Was informed labour was gonna run me at least 400 to replace it. I refused immediately. I was charged a hundred and something dollars for the diag. Took the truck home got a fully programmed pcm for 200$ with shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Literally took 5 minutes to replace. 3 connectors and 2 bolts. Was located in a super accessible place. Cannot stress how easy it was. I cannot believe they were gonna screw me over that bad. Terrible place will never go to again.

Ive had to take three of my vehicles here in the past year. These guys are great, honest men and very reasonable. After my vehicles were fixed, they have called to see how their repairs were on the vehicle. They explain everything very well so you know what the problem is. They are veteran friendly as well. Thanks Rons Auto!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ron. He is honest, dependable and very professional. I have taken my car and my children’s cars to him and he has always found the problem and explained things so that I am able to understand. He even took the time to show my son a couple of things to do on his own. He is the best mechanic I’ve ever found and just a super nice guy. We should all help support local!

Every family needs a great car person. Ron is ours!I’ve had several thousand dollars worth of work done on multiple vehicles through this shop, and every experience I have had has been top notch on quality, fast on speed, and far less expensive overall than dealerships.They have done everything for me on multiple vehicles including small things like oil changes, routine maintenance, and bulb replacements up to large ticket items like new sets of Michelin tires, alternator replacement, transmission seal replacements, and even front end axle replacements.When I first came to the shop, I was greeted by Ron’s professional staff and Ron himself. After receiving a detailed quote, I called a dealership to compare pricing. Ron’s was a slam dunk winner on price and speed with which he could have all of the work done.With that first round of work completed, I found Ron’s to be incredible to work with and very efficient in getting my work done. Now, I don’t have to ask around or shop for auto services. If I need something done to any one of my vehicles, there is only one call I have to make! That is a great feeling.If you’re looking for a great car shop, look no further. Ron’s is the place to go if you want it done right, done fast, and done at a fair price.

I had damage occur to the front right bumper of car, knocking off the splash covers and a fog light cover on underside after a speeding car hit two construction barrels sending one flying back onto 75 and into my car. I’m in FL visiting from MD.My niece had been on the Next Door app and had recommendations for auto mechanics. There were three very positive ones for Ron’s. I tried them first and very happy I did. I talked to Russ on the phone at 8am Monday Feb 3 and explained my situation. He told me to bring the car in at 9. Met Ron when I got there and he assessed the damage. I felt he gave me a fair price, was honest about what was needed. Gave me the written estimate and stuck to it. Very nice guys, very efficient, I felt reasonable pricing. They even did a safety check to be sure nothing more was wrong, and that I’d be safe back on the road. A cover had to be ordered for the fog light that was missing. That arrived earlier then expected on Tuesday. I took car back in and the cover was put on in minutes. I feel very fortunate that they got me in so quickly as they were obviously very busy!If I’m back in that area in the future and have a need for car service, I will definitely be calling Ron’s.

Being new to the area I was looking for honest, reliable, independent and competent auto service. Ive driven by Rons Auto Service hundreds of times on SR 70 and stopped in one day. I was immediately impressed by by the sense of professionalism at Rons and scheduled an appointment on the spot. The service was done timely and efficiently and I was presented with evaluation of my vehicle with recommendations. There was no pressure but I now knew my options for additional service. Since the first visit, I now take both my vehicles to Rons. They met the all initial requirements of being honest, reliable, independent and competent!Just the other day, I had a slow leak in a tire. I called Rons in the morning and he worked to fit me in to a fully booked day. This is the customer focused experience that is invaluable!Rons is the place to go for the best auto service around!

I have owned over 20 cars in my 53 years, and Ron’s auto service is simply the best shop I have ever been to! This is the only shop that will ever see one of my cars when repairs get above my pay grade! He also does race car quality alignments. Great shop!

Great shop!!! I brought my car in and Ron And crew did careful and honest assessment...a rarity these days!!! I’m local, this is a tourist area, all the locals trust Ron’s. Update: We Have an old Subaru ( we bought new) that needed about 3k investment if we wanted to keep it. Ron’s did a complete overhaul and 8 months later, runs like new! No leaks, perfect idle, strong compression/ “pick-up” top notch job!!!

Ron’s Auto Service is one of the most honest auto shops I’ve ever been to. They cut you a good deal, and they don’t take advantage of women like a lot of places do. They really care about their work, and want you to get on the road again! They did a trip check for me before I left to move back to Colorado, and they made sure everything was in top shape. My car made it like a dream, and drives better now than it ever has before. I highly recommend you bring your Toyota into this shop!! Thanks again, Ron! You ROCK!

I waited a week after repairs were completed before writing this review.Im always hesitant in trying a new mechanic, but we were referred to Rons by our tire supplier, so figured wed give him a shot. Im giving 5 stars based on 5 things. 1. Customer Service: from the initial phone call, to the greeting at the shop, explanation of service, and final pick up, Tim and Ron made us feel like we have known them for years. 2. The owner works in the shop! Although he does have additional employees working on cars, Ron actually works on cars, and not just behind a desk. 3. Fair pricing: the price quoted for the repairs needed was fair, and not over priced. 4. Honest: My check engine light has been on for nearly 2 years. I had a quote from another mechanic that told me I needed to have my throttle body replaced ($1,000). Ron said he would check and see if it just needed a good cleaning, and thats what they did. Well, so far so good! 5. Timely repairs: I needed to have my A/C replaced at the same time, along with some additional maintenance. I expected to be out of my car for a couple of days, and they had it finished the same day! In conclusion, will we use Rons Automotive again? DEFINITELY!!

After searching around prices at different shops, I came across Rons auto service and was greeting by Ron himself. Hes very down to earth, and honest. After asking about a service that others wanted way more, his price was better than the others on 53 rd/ state road 70 (its the same road). Ill be switching. Professionalism and price, got me. I highly recommend :)

I cannot recommend Ron highly enough. He spent a VERY long time diagnosing a fault with my car and charged almost nothing. He gave me fair and detailed advice as to what my options would be. I will certainly take my car to him for everything.

To all of you that are in search of an honest mechanic and extremely experienced look no further. I’ve taken my vehicles and our company vehicles to other places and they have lied to us and miss diagnosed issues. Wanting a second opinion we decided to take our vehicles to Ron’s auto service in Bradenton and all I can say is we found our permanent home for all of our cars… Personal and business. Honesty is the best policy And they definitely live by that! Thanks again Ron!

Ron is an incredibly personable, and intelligent person. He made me feel welcomed in his shop, had a great conversation with me about my car and the maintenance it needs, and was very reasonable in his pricing. I will return, and if you own a Japanese car, you should give him a try. :)

My sister lives down in Bradenton and is moving back home now that shes retiring from teaching. She just had a bunch of work done at our hometown mechanic who weve used and trusted for years on her red 1998 Honda CRV. Turns out hes not the guy he used to be. He seriously overcharged her, and did shoddy work to boot! We ended up taking it to a second shop to get everything fixed correctly. She noticed some leaks on a return trip to Bradenton from Deland. I told her you should get it checked before heading back north. Based on her experience 2 weeks ago we were really leery to let anyone touch the car. I did a search and found Rons Auto Service and all of the great reviews and told her to take it there.My sister commented on her experience.1) Ron was awesome, a really nice guy.2) The shop was clean, well organized, and everyone was professionally dressed.3) They treated her with respect and were very thorough in their examination of the car.4) They didnt find anything major, but made some recommendations regarding further service back home.We are very happy with our experience at Rons and it appears we picked the right garage! Thank You Ron and your crew, youve restored our faith that there are still honest, hard working mechanic shops out there. Take your car or truck with confidence to Rons. This is a great shop! We wish it was in Deland and was our hometown shop!Sincerely,Her brother Frank

I dropped off my Hyundai Genesis yesterday for a Alternator Repair. Ron was Honest and timely. No one wants to go to a mechanic but at least you wont get ripped off by Ron. He specializes in Hyundai. I will be using Ron for more service if needed on my Hyundai Genesis. Great Service all around.

I dropped by Ron’s Auto Service for the first time after searching all over town for an oil change. He was cool, polite, and quick. He was more interested in helping me make the right decision on what my car needed and explained the pros and cons for each decision rather than just going for the higher sell. He’s an honest guy with honest prices and I support the local business!

Had major time consuming work done on my 07 Toyota Camry hybrid. Ron fully explained what needed to be done and when car would be ready. Great people to work with. Cost was very fair and service was as good as at the best dealership. Highly recommend. Ron has earned any future business for my cars.

Rons auto service is the best auto mechanic shop in town. His prices are extremely fair and he will do whatever it takes to help you. He will be very honest with you and will tell you what you need and do not need to have done to your vehicle with no bs. I would not feel comfortable taking my truck anywhere else but here.
