Tommy's Autoworks, LLC, Gainesville FL

I am absolutely thrilled that I found this place. I moved to Gainesville six months ago, and I have been putting off finding a new mechanic because my previous one was excellent, but I am now 45 minutes away. Recently, my check engine light came on in my older car, and I was nervous considering all of the costly routine maintenance work I have had done that you would expect in a 26-year-old car. They were able to read the code on my car right then and there, put me at ease when they gave me a beyond-reasonable quote for an O2 sensor, and scheduled me for the next day.

When I came in for the repair, they got right to work. When they were finished with the repair, we went for a test drive, and she was running smoother than ever. Jeff explained to me everything they did, including adjusting my idle. He told me that I would want to eventually have my exhaust leak addressed to help my car run even better and keep all of the sensors clean and the system optimized. I asked what the cost of that repair would be, and they put my car back in the air.

There were three big holes in my exhaust. I was told it could have been because the car sat around for quite a while before I bought it. He said they could patch it easily until I was ready to do the full repair. They patched the holes at no extra charge, and now my car is like a completely different car.

I feel so at ease knowing that they are right across town, and while it is unusual to say, "I can't wait to return to the auto shop. ", I certainly look forward to this being the place I come to the next time my car inevitably needs service. They really make you feel like family—just a lovely crew altogether.

Over this past Thanksgiving holiday, I took a road trip from Orlando to Gainesville. About 15 miles outside of Gainesville all the lights on my dashboard started flashing and the car started losing power. The car was struggling to go over 40 miles an hour. The previous weekend I had my car serviced by my mechanic for an oil change and he also fixed a problem with the cruise control, so I had no idea what was going on. I made it to my destination and my dear friend recommended I bring the car to Tommy’s AutoWorks. It seems like all cars have random problems over the holidays and they were swamped () but they worked diligently to get me in and find the problem and get it resolved so I could safely return back to Orlando. They even stayed open way past closing time and the next morning the mechanic (Jeff) came in before they opened to meet me and test drive the car. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect so I could get on the road. Evie (who pretty much runs the place) made sure I understood all the work that was done and answered all of my questions.
If you are in Gainesville and are having any type of troubles with your car, I would highly recommend Tommy’s AutoWorks. It was a blessing to find a business that was honest and trustworthy.

Wouldn't recommend this company to anybody. Their breaking cars to have you to come back to pay them to fix what they broke. The world we live in

A big thank you to Tommy’s team for helping me with car inspection. They explained and showed the problem areas, made a test drive. I felt that everything was under control

Was recommend Tommy's Autoworks by a coworker and I am so sad it took me this long to find them. Such an amazing place. Great quality work, honest feedback on what is needed to fix and what can wait until later to fix. Wonderful people and will always use them to maintain my vehicles.

He speaks no English. He was installing a window regulator on my car. He jammed the window down into the door, lost all my screws and said I can't fix it. He will not be getting any more of my service.

My problem door handle was fixed so that it won't come off now and a dirty cabin filter was replaced.

He is definitely the BEST family own mechanic! The MOST HONEST mechanic! My dad took his car to change the brakes of his car and Tommy was sooo nice and friendly and checked the whole car to make sure the car was running good. He will be my go to mechanic from now on! Hands down!

Wonderful small business! Best prices in town and they take actually care. 1000% would recommend
