Sandra Derer

They treated me with respect and honesty. I will recommend them to all

Dawn Beliveau

Everyone at Car Doc is amazing! Stacy always explains any repair so I can understand and decide my options. They will ever take me home and pick me up in needed. When the latest repairs were no longer an option, Stacy went above and beyond to help find another car. What a God-send.

Tammy Poole

Desiree is fabulous! She let me know every step of the way what was going on with my car, and the shop worked with me when repairs started adding up. They've won me over for the life of my vehicle!

Erika Fauser

Called Stacey and Desree this morning with a leaking fluid issue. They were both so pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. They got me right in, assessed the issue and I was on my way! BTW, they were just awarded 5 2024 Venice Gondolier best of awards - they deserve it…they’re the BEST! Carron Tessitore

Joe Tessitore

Had a full vehicle inspection and an oil change done—great service at a reasonable price. Everything was handled professionally, and I am happy with the experience. Definitely satisfied and would recommend.

Benita Dzhurkova

Great service! Got my car in timely for repairs! And off and driving in 90 min! Responsive, timely, and super great staff. So accommodating

Kathy Loreti

TRUST. Trusting your vehicle to a qualified mechanic these days is a hard find; a very hard find. I've been going to Car Doc on the Island for the last 10 years, as far back as when they were located on Venice Ave. They don't conjure up what I call phantom repairs; repairs that you probably don't need. To the contrary they give you good preventative care advice, and do exceptional quality work. I'll plan to be with them for a while. 👍👌

Marcus

Car Doc is easily one of the best businesses on the island! Stacy and the rest of the staff are professional, courteous, well trained, and their customer service is second to none. My vehicles will go nowhere but to their shop, and yours shouldn't either!! AAAA+++++

Dave Graybill

It was the first time I stopped at the Car Doc to see if they could fix a problem with my car & they took care of it right away. The personal were great, explained everything & were very reasonable. I definitely will be going back for the required service when it’s due on my Infiniti .

Darby Radmanesh

Great experience at Car Doc as problem with AC located and repaired. Ice Cold air again! Great staff and very professional!

Dennis Barth

Amazing service from first call to leaving! Stacey and her team so accommodating! Price was reseasonable and they fixed my car the same day! They went above and beyond. Will not go anywhere else. Wish I had found Cardoc years ago!

Lisa Redvers

Best in customer service, honesty and reliability. Will find the best deal for service and parts.

Tonya Peach Nasevski

Great service

John Beggan

Was gerry surprised with the flexibility of time, especially when I was not available in they morning but they were able to accommodate me, and fixed my ac which was blowing hot, great place and great people too!

Edwin Garcia

Friendly, knowledgeable & responsive.

scott picus

My truck broke down last week and after calling around Car Doc was the one that was able to get it done sooner. From the minute I called till the day that I pick my car up, they kept me informed they were very professional, respectful and courteous. I will definitely be using them going forward.

Robert Serena

After fighting with the Insurance Company to pay to fix my car, I brought it to the Dealership, and the months it would take to even be looked-at was ridiculous, and they said they might total it out. I decided to go to Car Doc. From the first-visit, they assured me that they would fix it, and work with the Insurance Company, to prevent my car from being totaled-out! Desiree' made me feel confident and happy that my car would be fixed promptly and professionally! That is exactly what was done! From Stacey's polite phone Service, to Desiree's Prompt and Professional Manner, My car was fixed quickly, and looks gorgeous! The Owner is also very-kind. They get 5 stars from me

Gwendolyn Bailey

Car Doc is a friendly professional place to bring your car. I made an appt online with ease and arrived on time. I spoke with Desiree the fleet manager who is very professional and knowledgeable. She also did a courtesy tire check on another car we will bring in next week. They did a multi point inspection of the car and made a recommendation,but no pressure. The price was reasonable for the work that was performed. The car was ready when promised. What's not to like! Highly recommend their services

Robert Appell

Absolutely the best!! Car Doc treats you like family and always works to provide the best care for our vehicles.

Sherry Marti

For car repairs today, you need more than a mechanic, you need a computer tech also! When every warning light on my dashboard started flashing, my pulse rate jumped to 100. Car Doc had the problem fixed the next day for a very reasonable price. The problem was in the computer. This friendly shop has itself a new regular customer.

miriam staveley

I am a repeat customer for a good reason . This place checks all the boxes, service, fair prices, great employees and they always go out of their way to treat you like you're family. I highly recommend car doc on the island for all of your vehicle service needs!

Jim Crawford

Great service and work at a reasonable price. Very clean waiting area and garage. My oil change and rotation included a thorough inspection of the vehicle with suggested maintenance. In some shops, that is a high pressure upsell, but that wasn’t the case here.

Brad C

Never taking mine or my wife’s car anywhere else, ever again. These guys got my Toyota Highlander running for a killer price and it’s running better than when I bought it. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the best team I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with!

Rey Salazar

Great people luv luv 💞

David Allen

Great customer service!

Terry BeCraft

Came in store with a flat, Desiree went to look at the flat and immediately found my problem. There were cracks in the sidewall. After reviewing all my tires she found some in 2 other tires . They put on spare, no charge, and scheduled me appt for next a.m. to change all 4 tires. Very professional business! Purchased 4 tires and can’t be happier thanks car doc !

Eric Enkemann

Professional and prompt!!

Ellen Culver

Excellent experience!

Skiman

Highly recommend Car Doc on the Island! If you’re are like me, you hate taking your car to the shop even for a simple oil change. Most mechanics will do the bare minimum, charge an arm and a leg, and try to upsell you on something you don’t even need. Car Doc isn’t like that at all. They are honest and have fair prices. They let you know if you have something coming up that needs attention in the future so you are able to plan for it. They are unlike any shop I’ve ever been to. I cannot say enough good things about them!

Jennifer Moore

I’m so happy to have found the Car Doc! I took my car there for an alignment and oil change.My service was complete and I was happy with the job. I went back to Car Doc to get my headlights cleaned. I truly couldn’t be happier with the job! My headlights look amazing! Thank you

Mary Jo Barrons

Excellent service!!

Lorrie Monte

Great work. On time and reasonable

Gene Crossland

Car Doc is great. Great communicators! They explained everything thoroughly and advised on required work without being pushy and without trying to convince me to get work done prematurely.

Jessica Katzaman

Car Doc On The Island is awesome! They go above and beyond to help everyone out and their work is always outstanding. We've used them for years and wouldn't consider any place else.

Janet Conover

Took in our old Silver Honda Accord for an oil change and exhaust noise. They are fair and knowledgeable. Their technician explains everything. Prices are fair. We will definitely keep doing business here.

Bentley Thomas

Needed a tire repair. Was planning on dropping it off. Chris actually stopped his lunch break to fix it while I waited. Very friendly,professional, and prompt. I would highly recommend.

L J

It’s important to trust that your mechanic is doing the right thing. I don’t mind a 10% higher per shop hour charge, since they get everything done in less time than most jobs allot. Also, there have been days where they just couldn’t replicate the noise, the handling, the braking of any car I’ve brought in- 3 times my cost was ZERO - who does that I. This day and age? My trusted garage manager Stacey does!

Jack Fitzgerald

Explained everything . Easy to understand. The ladies are great . Friendly and helpful. Thanks Stacy and Desirree. (Spell) 🤗

Pamela Rogers

We barely made it to Car Doc with a severely damaged tire yesterday afternoon. Desiree and Stacy were amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. Our car was ready this morning. No problem. Five stars!!!!!! Thanks, ladies and crew.

Dave Stein

If you are ever in need of a reliable mechanic bring your car to car doc. Not only are they friendly and efficient, they are understanding and patient. I ran into a tire emergency and had to two tires replaced and a third plugged. They fit me in that day gave me a ride to work so I did not miss any work. And when my car was finished Stacy stayed until I could get there to get my car. Amazing business ran by amazing people. I can not thank them enough for helping me.

Anna Smith

They are extremely knowledgeable in repairing cars. They treat everyone like family. I used to go to the Lexus dealership but I got tired of the prices and it’s always about the bottom line and how much they want to sell you. Both my mom and I bring our vehicles here.

sandra cross

Always a good experience with this organization. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend to anyone

sue day

Car Doc on the Island was an absolute Godsend. My young son and I were on vacation in Florida, visiting from the northeast. We had a very unexpected and close call on the highway, and long story short the tow truck brought us to a shop where he said “they will take good care of you”… instead, they took excellent care of us. I appreciated the assurance and empathy on the other end of the phone by both Desiree and Stacy — very professional women with a ton of heart. They obviously work with a wonderful crew, and I also appreciated the thorough receipts of all work that was done; not only did I know exactly what I was paying for, but I could bring my mechanic, back home, up to speed on the condition of my car in perfect terminology. Lastly, I was extra pleased to hear about the warranty on their work, and the “sort of mini AAA policy” that came with the work done. My son and I are feeling very safe traveling home. Thank you to everyone at Car Doc! God Bless!!

nancy drew

I went in for what I thought would be a quick fix but it was more complicated and the service staff diagnosed it for me and went beyond what I expected to find and remedy it at that appointment. SUPERIOR SERVICE. I am so happy to have such a company like Car Doc on the Island available.

Christine Stewart

I brought my car in for an oil change and tire rotation today. I felt like I was in very capable hands as Stacy explained how The CarDoc operates. True to her words they did the oil change and tire rotation. They called to let me know that I was 10,000 miles overdue for my brake fluid to be drained and changed. At my request they did that as well. They are a no pressure company. They’ll tell you what they find and offer to correct it. You tell them what you authorize. No questions asked they follow your wishes. Definitely my new auto repair shop.

Theresa LeBlanc

How about Can Do and Honesty! They were willing to investigate a complex problem on Car 1 and solved problem on Car 2. Last experience at different car repair shop in Venice left bad taste ……. Read all their reviews. Pretty simple decision. Customer facing team is remarkable.

Jeff

Shock of a badly cut tire. Happiness at finding good people to work on your car. Thank you!!

Nola Parks

Always a pleasant experience going there !!! The ladies are wonderful , helpful and delightful ... Top notch work !!!

Rafael Santana

Service was great! The gentleman got me in quick and was so polite. He was thorough and did a great job!! I’ll be back!!!

Jill Flores

Car-Doc is great. Our 20 year old Honda was towed there late in the day after experiencing an apparent transmission problem. Stacy at Car-Doc took our information and said they would assess the problem the next day. Sure enough, Stacy called at 10am the next morning to tell us that one of the trans-axles had broken off and both should be replaced along with the gaskets. Stacy provided an estimate for the work and we gave her the go-ahead. The car was ready by 1pm that day which was great otherwise we would have had to rent a car if the repairs took longer. Stacy was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting our car repaired and I expect to use Car-Doc in the future to keep our 20 year old Honda on the road!

Jim Stewart

Truck driving brand new again, thanks Desiree and Stacey for the awesome service

James Sheufelt

Michael and his team are incredible! Not only very knowledgeable but very honest! That’s hard to come by these days. He’s also an antique car advocate and I have an old truck want to bring back to life and he will definitely be helping me with that project!

Josh Marple

Want to let everyone know that Car Doc on the Island has been great to me! They service my car ever winter when I arrive and make sure I am good to go for the Florida Winter months. Friendly service and very helpful.

Bill Rhodes

I had a problem with my vehicle. Friendly and professional, they had me fixed promptly and at a great price. Highly recommend!!

Steven Lechner

It is so hard to find an honest auto mechanic! They are here!!! The Car Doc on the Island! Not only are they honest, I found them to be thorough, accurate and informed about what they are doing. I am done with these other local jokers! Car Doc on the Island ( They KNOW what the light on your dash board means and they know how to fix it!) Never again will I be told “ Oh that service light is nothing, honey it could be your radio!” Car Doc - on the Island is where I am going! Did I mention that they are also reasonable!

Cindy D

Michael, Stacey and Desiree are all top notch! Having a background in the automotive industry, it is very tough to find a dependable and trustworthy shop - and Car Doc On The Island is just that! I send my entire fleet of work vehicles to their shop and Stacey and Desiree are always great at making sure I'm never down vans so I could run my business efficiently.

Kim Heffner

Excellent work at a fair price. Very thorough. Always pleasant to deal with.

Chuck Hendriksen

Took my 2015 BMW in for an oil change and maintenance service. I must commend Car Doc for the great service, advice, courtesy and punctuality I received. I highly recommend and will use their services again. Thanks Car Doc on the Island.

Junetth lettner

What an amazing American business, i recognized on my way home i had a nail, not knowing if I would make it home, I pulled in, they fixed my tire, on my way I went! The American flag displayed proudly on the stores front was true to word! I am a loyal customer, and appreciate so very much the integrity, customer service you gave! 💯 % recommended, God bless, thanks again!

Dawn Rivera

Always the Best around. Mike, Stacey, and Desiree and all the mechanics go out of there way to ensure my vehicles are in top condition. Honest, Reliable, Timely. I recommend Car Doc to anyone who is looking for a job that will get done right the First time and they also look for other issues you may have and give you feedback as to what they find that needs attention without any BS just to play you or get your money. They are truly the Real Deal. Thank you guys and gals for always being Great. Corey Pope

The establishment is an excellent choice for vehicle maintenance. The office manager and staff are highly competent and professional. They consistently provide detailed explanations, fostering trust and confidence in their services. It is refreshing to encounter an honest and reliable car repair facility.

Car & Light Truck Care, near Venice, Florida

What great customer service from everyone at Car Doc. Stacy and Desiree greeted me with a smile, knowledge and overall incredible wisdom of what needs to be done. I felt taken care of!!!Thank you to everyone at Car Doc on the Island.

Elizabeth Stannard-Letcher

Truly great experience! The reviews are right on, great service, honesty and great customer service. Our 21 year old cream puff was treated well. No high pressure sales pitch, for anything unnecessary, just plain honest to goodness car service. I highly recommend Car Doc on the Island!!!

Michael Perez

I've been their twice now and both times outstanding communication and workmanship if you haven't been there before give them a chance to see if they can help you Desiree and Stacy are awesome with lots of knowledge

Allen LeBlanc

Great service and knowledge. Service is fantastic and they provide detailed information on required repairs and preventative maintenance. Best auto service ever!

Mike Bradstreet

I cannot say enough about this company?..both service and its staff. I was treated professionally and with incredible fairness. Desiree and Stacy were knowledgeable and efficient. Though I did not meet the technicians, I am confident that they spent necessary effort to determine that there was no issue with the turbo/boost as was suggested by a dealership?..for a mere $3400 repair estimate. I am from Michigan and I'm sure I won't be back for service on a vehicle of my own to patronize the establishment in the future. But my brother Lives in Nokomis and will certainly become a regular. And I have already shared a reference with 2 other people. I am grateful for an outstanding experience.

Gloria Jabro

Had an appt today at car doc on the island as supposedly rear differential was leaking. The estimate close to $800. Received a call this afternoon, when out at the pool, that once they cleaned it found that only the plug was defective saving me several hundred dollars. One of the men at the pool who is an engineer and previously worked for one of the major Detroit car companies said something like an honest garage as they could have easily just replaced.the plug but charged you for the whole thing, and because i'm completrly illiterate as far as motor vehicles go, i would have never known the difference! I appreciate their integrity.

Brenda Page

Most wonderful experience dealing with Stacy at Car Doc! She was the most detail oriented person about my car that i have ever come in contact with. She took the time to explain everything my car needed and it was fixed in a timely manner! I would highly recomend Car Doc to everyone! Very honest and makes you feel like family! I feel very blessed that I found them and i definitly will be back for all my car repair needs! Thank you Car Doc and God Bless Lisa Dobbs

Lisa Dobbs

Stacey and Desiree are the best! This is the only vehicle repair shop I feel 100% comfortable that I am getting an honest assessment at a fair price. This is a reflection of the integrity of all who work at Car Doc!

Diana Isak

Even though they were very busy Stacy agreed to take my Jeep in within minutes of my call. Turns out there was a potentially time consuming and expensive option for my repair and a very simple, much less expensive but unorthodox fix to my problem. They elected the later and called me with 24 hours with a completed repair. Nicely done, Cardoc...

Edward Carvalho

Desiree and Stacy were a huge help in a unique situation which saved me time AND money!!! Thanks ladies and nice to meet you both!

Keith Blazovic

Great shop; car was toed to shop after hours and they called me promptly the next morning for approval to diagnose. When finished, we reviewed the diagnosis and Car Doc were able to save me from having to replace several parts by identifying the root of my issue and resolving it. Car Doc will be my mechanic moving forward

Charles Stein

I'm so glad I found Car Doc on the Island- everyone there is knowledgeable, friendly and works hard!

Erin

Great job. Fair price.

Rodney Leadingham

I finally found the one!

Clara bosonetto

Very thorough and transparent. My car was way overdue for maintenance and Car Doc went through the entire car and carefully explained the needs and cost of each service needed to bring it back up to speed. I was very pleased with the communication, professionalism as well as the work done. Thanks Car Doc!!

General Tony2

Thank you Car Doc!! Desiree is phenomenal. She went out of her way to help me with my car issue. She identified what was wrong and helped me get on my way. I will definitely go back! What a great experience!

R Lauterback

CAR DOC on Venice Island is a superb place to do business. DESIREE was my contact and she was outstanding. She explained pros and cons of every tire available for my Mustang. Desiree is knowledgable, meets deadlines, has a great personality, and remembers who her customers are. Stacy, the general manager and Michael the owner care about customer satisfaction. My 4 tires and alignment were completed in 2.5 hours and my vehicle went into the shop just minutes after my scheduled appointment. The tire prices were lower than many other locations. I highly recommend CAR DOC ON THE ISLAND. Pete Rosa

Peter Rosa

Bring your car to Car Doc!! You won't regret it. I love everything about them here. Super friendly people and top quality service on my car. I had nothing but issues with my BMW X5 and took it to three different places before here. Brought it to Car Doc and they set my car straight finding things that others didn't catch and being completely honest about what I needed. Even a very rusty transmission crossmember! Couldn't believe I was driving around with that and no other place mentioned it. Car Doc is the only place I'm bringing my car now. It's running like it's brand new.

Tyler Tucker

Great service! Always professional!

Kelly Brooker

Always great service at Car Doc. They help keep our cars in great shape.

Liz M

Engine Maintenance, near Venice, FL

Stranded in the unbearable heat of summer without Air Conditioning, I took my Land Rover to CarDoc. Stacie put me at ease, assuring me their mechanics knew how to "finesse" a fragile Rover back to life. Next up, we took the family jewels (Mercedes) in for an oil change. I ended up leaving the MBZ with them for body work (bumper hanging off for a year, but I didn't know where to take it.) Desiree saved me so many hassles when she said "We do excellent body work too". The car looks brand new. Finally, I entrusted them with my prized 1967 Mustang. They easily took care of leaks, replaced the radiator, and serviced it to perfection. I'm so happy to have one shop that exceeds my expectations for all 3 of my special needs cars. Thank you!

Lou Johnson

Stacy and Car Doc are fabulous. I've never had a better experience at a repair shop. They are thorough in their inspection of the car and explanation of what they recommend to be addressed. Very reasonable prices and great value. Also, I think their service bays are cleaner than my doctor's office. I highly recommend you check them out for your next oil change or car repair.

Mark Martella

Car Doc was an absolute lifesaver! As a single mother finding a place to trust with car repairs is no small feat. A friend had mentioned Car Dog and I'm so glad I listened. My daughter's AC was out and Stacy and Desiree got her car in the same day. They were very thorough in explaining the process of identififying the problem and the costs associated. Not only did the they fix the problem in a timely manner but really cared to also educate my daughter about her vehicle and the importance of maintenance. So grateful to have this wonderful local company!! They'll take good care of you.

Tiffany Lawrence

Car Doc has been a wonderful service for me. They are very professional, friendly, just really good people, and really good mechanics. Their prices are very reasonable, and I don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment. Very impressive. You guys rock. ?

Sandi Raasch

If you want honesty, fair pricing and your vehicle fixed right this is the place to go!! The management team is amazing!! The communicstion between the mechanics and managment is top tier. I had purchased my vehicle from a not so honest auto center and while dropping my son off at Venice high, my car warning lights came on and I rolled into CarDoc on the island. They were able to diagnose it after a thorough inspection. They even offered no credit check financing which was extremely helpful. Thank you to Stacy the GM and Desiree her assistant for doing everything in their power to help me!! ??????????

Elena Carella

Homest, informative, clean and staffed with caring personnel.

Jack Hayes

I rarely leave reviews but this place is worth it. They are prompt to get me in when I need, they always communicate with me and don't just randomly bill me and I really trust the work they do. Thank you guys!!

Nadine Al-hammali

Stacy and Desiree are so knowledgeable about any repair or service you may need. Their staff is very thorough. We have used them for several years! Stacy helped me to find a reputable shop while I was on a road trip and needed an emergency repair. Ladies, this is a shop for you! Gents, don't miss out either! Exceptional experience!!

Melinda Roberts

If anyone uses any other place besides car doc on the island you're a fool. This establishment does not scam you or raise their prices unnecessarily. They treat you like family. I recently moved here from ny and purchased a beetle convertible . They have always given me sound advice . At any point they could have charged me for services that weren't needed since I didn't know any better . It's rare to find any business with high values and morals .

Robyn

The Experience at Car Doc was outstanding, the transparency and willingness to do the job right the first time is a refreshing take on what the other shops are doing. If you want to have your car serviced correctly, have confidence in it getting done right and not dreading the case of what if they didn't fix it? Go to Car Doc on the island in Venice FL, the best experience I have had at a mechanic shop. Thank you Michael, Desiree and Stacy & mechanics for the top tier experience. I will certainly be a brand ambassador and will continue to service my RAV4 with you. The deepest gratitude, V&P

Kyle Vartanian

As a new to the area person, a recommendation to Car Doc was a great help. A pleasure to work with from first call for appointment to service done. They explained everything and answered all my questions. So impressed. I would highly recommend Car Doc on the Island. I have my go to auto professional here . Glad I found out about them Thank you Mike and Stacy!

Patricia Brooks

Mike gave me a.lift home after I dropped off my car on Tuesday. I had a deadline because I had travel reservations early on Thursday. They made sure my radiator was replaced and my car road ready by 4pm on Wednesday. And picked me up-to get the car. Desiree was very knowledgeable and friendly. That's the second time I have been there. The service is great, and Car Doc's is my go to place for my 2013 Lexus.

Kathleen Flanagan

As an Uber driver, I have had extensive interactions with Car Doc, Mike, Stacy, Desiree, and the boys in the shop. For the past two years, they have done all my routine maintenance. They make sure I am aware of and prepared for maintenance milestones. When having warranty work done at the dealership, I was reminded that I was entitled to a free oil changes for but had not taken advantage of this. I explained that Car Doc did all my work. I can not emphasize strongly enough, how the professionalism, honesty and integrity, along with the feeling that you are amongst friends and are being looked after, means I will not trust anyone else to work on my cars. Thanks Car Doc on the Island!!

Michael Singer

Car Doc provides excellent service for my lincoln auto. They carefully diagnose the problem and work to get it right. Very skillful staff at an honest price. Thanks!

Mort Lebedun

This is the place to go for your car repairs. The staff is courteous, kind, a knowledgeable and honest . They will go over everything they find wrong, step by step, and what they need to do to fix it. Their goal is to get your car repairs done in a timely manner and fix it right the first time so that you have a safe vehicle. Car Doc on the Island is the only place I will ever go for car repairs!

melisa wafford

This women-run office is phenomenal. I have never had services explained so completely to me. Highly recommend.

Lesley Parent

They were thorough, kept us informed, reasonable price wise & very nice. I would highly recommend car doctor!!?

Kathy Campion

While on a trip to the Mountains our 2016 Ford F150 started giving us trouble then on the way home the engine light came on. We immediately called Stacy at Car docs and she was able to schedule an appt asap and diagnose the problem. While fixing an engine problem she also pointed out that our tires were extremely dangerous. The team was able to order tires and fix the truck in a timely manner! Stacy was very able to meet all our needs at a competitive price!! Car docs provided fast and professional services in our time of need! I would highly recommend them! I'm blessed for Stacy and the Car docs team!!

Deborah DeFelice

Thanks to Desiree, Stacy and Mike for a quick turnaround with my 2018 Mercedes. They took care of mechanical and body work all in one visit. I couldn't be more pleased ?.

Scott Groulx

What a great experience. I had a problem with our vehicle they came highly recommended. Scheduling was no problem offered rides both ways they explained what they would do and costs of it. Luckily they found that I needed 2 tires while we were there. The ladies in the office were great! I will highly recommend them to anybody that needs a great auto maintenance and repair shop. A+

Desiree and Mike are amazing took good care of me got me in in a pinch. I needed 4 tires and a very small window but they got me in! Highly recommend. Good prices and great services.

Dale Slimick

Best Auto Mechanic place for you car in Venice. If you want trustworthy, reliable, honest people to work on your vehicle then I recommend Car Doc on the Island of Venice. They go the extra mile to ensure your vehicle is safe and they only use quality parts. Prices are very reasonable as well. They call you with an estimate and will only work on the specific details of the job that you want them too. Great Place, Great People.

Corey Pope

Wow - very detailed analysis of all the problems; routinely so much more thorough and more accurate than the dealer! Stacy and Desiree were so helpful and courteous; highly recommended!

Lawrence Kunkler

Thanks Car Doc. What a great experience. Desiree and Stacy were both professional and friendly. They told me more about my car than I knew after owning it for 5 years! A customer for life here!!

Coach Rick Mendez

Car Doc has my business due to extra appreciated niceties from front office, shop, and best of all the owner! God bless you all!

Lois Goetz

These guys are great! They have worked on all three of my cars and I never worry about being taken advantage of. They are trust worthy and honest. I could not be any happier with all of their services !

Brian Crupi

This place is the best! Had a day off and wanted to get my oil changed, stopped in and they took me in right away! Price was amazing too. Went over all issues with my car that probably not everyone would have done.

Debbie Kaminsky

If you have a car you need to have Car Doc on your speed dial! They are very honest, efficient and explain everything. Stacy and Deserie are great and is all the staff. I highly recommend them.

Betty Hogarth

I recently visited this auto repair shop for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. Stacy and Desiree, the experts in the office, quickly assessed the problem, provided estimates, and explained the progression while it unfolded. While waiting for my ride home, I overheard interactions with other customers, and it felt like everyone there was family. Communications between the staff members was excellent. Mr. Kearns, the technician, skillfully disassembled and reassembled the entire front of my car, a task that might have taken weeks elsewhere. The working owner's presence and eagerness to please were also evident. I've lived here for over 20 years, and this experience is unmatched.

Louis Johnson

Car Doc on the island! Awesome experience, very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend them.

Nancy Davan

I have taken 2 of my Mercedes cars for repairs at Car Doc in the past week and very impressed with the knowledge they have of German cars. From Stacy and Desiree to Mike, they all made me feel comfortable and explained everything about the repairs. I will be a regular customer and will be recommending them to other friends who are also owners of Mercedes cars. Keep up the good work Car Doc!!!

Jose Martinez

Great service. Local owned.

Ric Rohde

Thanks Car Doc, Exceptional service Great staff and Technicians. Would recommend anyone wanting honest quality service. Venice resident

Shock Jock

As a snowbird from NJ, I've always felt insecure about getting my car repaired in Venice. I was a brand new customer off the street and Car Doc took the same care as they would have for an old friend. With Stacey, Desiree and Mike from the service team, I feel like I've truly found my home away from home! They are extremely knowledgeable and most importantly trustworthy. Stacy, in particular, has extensive knowledge of the car repair process and is always about honesty and safety first. Thank you Car Doc on the Island for alleviating my worries and making me feel welcome!

Bonnie Koch

Fortunate to find Car Doc on line. It was our pleasure to do business with such a professional shop. From the initial inquiry through the repair of our VW ATLAS, your service was Informative, courteous, and efficient. You are our "go to " service for our vehicle!!!!! Ben and Fran Ossola

fran ossola

This was my first experience using this business. iExcellent. I can see why they have a good reputation locally. Communication was excellent. They are courteous and competent. I'll use them again.

pc vb

Outstanding service, supremely knowledgeable, super reliable. I have limited funds and it takes time for me to give out trust. I was very hesitant to spend where I didn't have to until the AC compressor for my Honda CRV went out... With Florida being as hot as it is I had to make a choice and I am extremely satisfied with my decision to go with the Car Doc on the Isle. Friendly faces, clean environment, and the reassurance that it was going to be okay. Stacy guided me on the situation and made my initial hesitation vanish nearly instantly. From now on I know exactly where I am going to go when I need new tires or something pops up - I'm going straight to the Car Doc.

Andrew Sage (Sindrake)

The whole experience was amazing they truly do treat you as family and all the staff was wonderful. My car runs like an absolute dream now. I could not be happier with the service. Thank you to the whole shop.

Missy Sharrow

I stopped in because my coolant light had been on for a few days. Stacy had someone come out to top it off and she gave my car a quick glance and noticed one of my tires was worn funky. We scheduled them to take a look and it turned out belts in my tire broke. I needed two new tires but it could have ended up way worse if she didn't look. Grateful because I probably wouldn't have until something terrible or WAY more expensive happened.

Heather Dempsey

Great customer service!

Amber Weidlein

This shop is the best for car repair. They did a really good job fixing an oil leak and some other issues with my Hyundai. Stacy and Desiree in the office are an excellent team. Wonderful people! They really pay attention to details. Also they answered all my questions. Mike in the shop called me the next day, after the work was done, to make sure everything was okay. I will take my car to them from on!

Joanie B

My exhaust system was failing and Car Doc expertly diagnosed and installed a new exhaust system. Very professional. The car now sounds almost new. I am very happy with Car Doc.

Jim J

Car Doc did a great job taking care of my car. They go above and beyond! I wouldn't take my car anywhere else!

Ann Lucke

Great personable service!! These folks realized the problem my mini cooper dashboard said I had was actually a sensor, not a full brake replacement! Their honesty saved me a lot of money, would highly recommend!

Erin Lilly Fussell

Great repair honest people and go the extra mile to please..

Barbara Demers

Honest, professional and kind! This is the best way I can describe Stacy and the staff of Car Doc. After 2 years I finally found an honest mechanic that really cares about its client! Strongly recommend to visit her for your car services!

gabriele mattia

first time using Car Doc on island and definitely won't be the last - clear, precise and accurate diagnosis and description of work being done along with estimate and scheduled appt.. office and workspace is clean and staff is friendly, courteous and professional

Mike Pace

Stacy was very polite and made time for my vehicle on very short notice. Andriy took his time to give my vehicle a thorough safety inspection while performing my oil change, to ensure there were no issues I was unaware of prior to my long drive back home. Desiree finalized everything at the service counter and I ensured her that I'd be returning the next time I'm in town. I'd highly recommend anyone in the city of venice or even Sarasota county to stop by the Car Doc for any services or repairs you may need. They'll treat you like family even if you're a first time customer!

Matt Ferns

For the last two years I needed some help with my car before I drew drove north. It was a time sensitive situation and car doc got me right in. Took great care of me and made me feel like a regular. I was very impressed

Steve Reichheld

Great people and great service. I wouldn't bring my car elsewhere! If you're looking for honest, by the book, work then give them a chance. Thank you all again!

Tayler Chapman

Car doc is my new service provider! Stacy was wonderful keeping me posted on each procedure that needed to be completed on my car. She explained in layman's terms that I could understand easily. I also thought that I received excellent service at a fair and honest price. I would highly recommend car doc! Marlene koumbis

Marlene Koumbis

Love this place! Very honest, helpful employees! Stacy and Desiree are the best!

Jeannine Cullen

Great experience. Been going to car doc over 8 years. Customer service bends over backwards to help as well as find the best pricing. I would strongly recommend Car Doc.

Paul Szablowski

My experience at Car Doc was fantastic. I mostly worked with Stacy in the office and she really knows cars! The entire team was committed to making sure my family's car was in tip top shape for the 1,200 mile journey I had to take upon leaving the shop. Their inspection was so thorough, and included pictures of all the parts they were concerned about and the estimate was provided in writing along with the inspection. This business is a well-oiled machine that will get you the best price on high quality parts and service. I liked how easy it was to share their recommendations with my husband for us to discuss without being pressured to make a quick decision. They treated me like a valued customer from start to finish and I witnessed them do the same for the other customers in the shop. Really, they treated me like family, doing their very best because they care about the people who come to them. I was worried about where my mom would be taking her car once I went back north. Not anymore! I'm so grateful to know her car needs are in good hands. That's such a huge relief because she is retired and on a fixed income. I really cannot sing their praises more highly. I definitely recommend Car Doc in Venice!!

Christine Deitcher

I had a nail in my tire. My dealership kept missing it. Thank you for fixing it and making feel safer.

Susan Hogrefe

The absolute best mechanics in Venice. They are professional and honest. not only are they great mechanics, but when I was in need of a new vehicle, they helped me to find the best vehicle that was right for me. I highly recommend them if anyone is in need of mechanical service, or if they are trying to find a good used vehicle. Stacy and the crew there are excellent And if I could give them more than five stars, I would. Thank You, Car Doc of Venice.?

Kathryn Mitchell

I've been taking my car to Firestone for years however, there was something wrong with my car and they feared it was my car's head gasket..that's when I was refered to Car Doc on the Island...I called them and Desiree told me to bring it in right away and took care of me and my car from start to finish..I even got a ride home! It was a wonderful experince to know that they knew exactly what was wrong with my car and had the part(s) ordered that my 2007 car needed...it was not my head gasket after all but my serpintine belt was dry rotted and cracked...my car runs great now thanks to Car Doc on the Island.. I'll be coming to them for my car needs now..I give them 5 Stars. ? ??? ? !

Jeri

courteous and thorough work and did not try to sell unneeded work. even thought i needed brakes but upon further review told me i did not need them. very nice to deal with them

Denis Meinert

Service was excellent, staff was awesome as always 👍

Jeanette Peterson

Mike, Stacy and Desiree are super helpful, knowledgeable and kind ! My experience couldn't have been better! They put my mind at ease and took care of the issues that I was experiencing with my car. I'm very happy that I found an honest and caring car mechanic! I highly recommend using them!! ?

Shellie Sayles

Took care of my flat caused by a screw..2nd time. Always helpfull!

Michael Miller

Have had the Car Doc working on all the vehicles in my family for years now. They have great quality work, as well as affordable prices. Whenever I ask for a quote on what I need for my vehicle, not only are they quick to present but also have different ranges of prices so you have options. Would recommend for anyone in the area looking for a reliable car maintenance group that really cares about each customers experience.

john sikora

I just had service done with Car Doc on the Island. I can't express enough how knowledgeable, friendly, thorough and professional Stacy and Desiree were with me. Thank you. You will continue to get my patronage and support for years in the future. Thank you to everyone at Car Doc on the Island!

Elizabeth StannardLetcher

Fast and good service . I am very happy with car doc.

Rui Grangeiro

Always excellent car care!

Tiffani Lennon

I started come here when I moved to the area last year because they had great reviews. As it turns out the reviews were true. Everyone hates going to an auto mechanic figuring you're going to get screwed. Car Doc is HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD in their assessment of what is needed and the cost. This is the only place I would bring my car - I haven't tried anywhere else and don't need to.

Louis Petrarca

My car has over 200,000 miles but it runs like a champ. Thank you Car Doc for you family friendly service.

Julie Son

Diagnosed the issue with my car and fixed it in a timely manner! I would highly recommend them!

John Hamm

Goes see these people! They’ll tell you what needs to be done NOW. What else is going to be a problem but can wait for awhile. They also show you pictures of any issue. They are gonna talk to you and then show you! Also do a complete check while they are at it and put in writing.

Michael Murphy

Great staff and super knowledgeable. My first time in. I am definitely coming back for service on my Lexus.

Jeff Van Ornum

Other customers of mine had recommended Car Dock On The Island. My air conditioning was broken and now I'm cool. I would recommend them to others in need of repair.

Mike Rihn

I have been taking my 2 vehicles to CarDoc since moving to the area 4 years ago. These guys are experts, they know their cars! And equally important, they are honest and will only sell you the services and maitenance your car actually needs. By far the best in Venice!

Tom Harvilla

First time using them. They did a very nice job- oil chg, tire rotation, changed brake fluid. Also a multi-point check of the whole car. They let you know the condition of many components and if they need service or not and what condition they're in. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable office staff.

R M

We were having electrical problems and pulled into Car Doc. They were so nice, friendly and helpful, so we could get back on our way. We met the owner of the family owned business, Michael and the office personnel Desiree. All the employees seemed very welcoming and hospitable.

Sheila Collison

The folks and service at Car Doc are great!! We have taken our cars there for everything for over 3 years. Their prices are super reasonable and they are very thorough and honest in their assessments of what is needed to keep out vehicles in top shape.

Neil Stockholm

For the first time we tried Car Doc On The Island, and they did a great job fixing our Audi. From initial call, rental car, diagnosis, to work completion, the communication was good, the work was done quickly, which was really helpful with our busy schedule.

Norm Tiilikka

We have an older model Toyota 4Runner that's our daily driver and we're very happy we found CarDoc to keep it running great!

Jean Hooker

Wonderful shop. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Worked with me the whole way through repairing my vehicle and kept me informed of the issues. Reasonably priced and quick service. Honestly best shop I've been to in Florida. 5+ stars!

Luke Kasz

First time I tried the Car Doc. Was recommended by a coworker. From the first phone call to them I could tell they were very professional. All I needed was an oil change so they picked up my car. Couldn't believe that they did a car fax and found out my oil wasn't changed since 2022, Stacy kept me informed about everything that was going on. I bought a used car which I was told by Stacy that after everything I have a good car. They went above and beyond what I expected and the price was impressive. Being single I was concerned who I would trust. Glad I picked Car Doc. Thank you for your great service.

Toni Trivison

Was out of town and found a nail in my tire. They patched my tire in under 30 min and I was on my way. Very polite and professional. No sales pressure to buy a new tire. They also used a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts, which most tire places do not. I would recommend them for any type of auto service.

Tom McDonald

They bend over backwards to make sure that the customer knows exactly what is going on with their vehicle and to be sure they can have it done in a timely manner.

Karen Helmick

Great service from very knowledgeable office and service technicians.

Michael Crouch

Excellent service and attention to detail. They are very accommodating with my schedule and I couldn't be happier with the work. They seem very honest.

Keith Usiskin

Been going to the Car Doc for almost 20 years. Won't go anywhere else for my vehicles needs! Very very knowledgeable staff and very quality work. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

Arnold Tary

Undercar Services

I have not been inside this shop but today was a very rough day for me until this very sweet young lady Deserae showed up out of nowhere to help me. I was pulled over on the side of the road with a flat tire and shame on me I had no clue what to do. I had my 1 year old daughter with me and of course my phone was on 3%. As I sat there crying a Car Doc vehicle pulls up and she asked me if I needed help. I told her what happened and within 20 minutes she had my spare tire on for me. If these are the kind of people that work in this shop I definitely want to trust them with my vehicle! Great job Car Doc! Wonderful employees! Thank you so much Deserae.

Sydney Renee

I don't recall their names but the two ladies at the office were very professional and very friendly. Super professional. And the office was so clean and organized, when I walked in I was so surprised, I wasn't sure if I was in the right place because it's not your typical dusty oily mechanic shop office!! It's very pleasant and presentable. The building looks like it was just painted and you can tell the team here respects their establishment. They appear to all take ownership in maintaining a professional image. I was very happy with the work that they performed and the price. Just for the record someone did call me through out the repair process to keep me informed and gave me a quote and allowed me to make decisions through out the process which I really appreciate.

Brantley Moore

Brought my Jeep in and had all issues addressed and fixed. Very nice and prices were very reasonable. Will be bringing The Yellow Jeep there for its car maintenance! Thank you Michael!

Dianne Shehadeh

I recently started going to Car Doc and I'm now a loyal customer! They are wonderful!!!

Linda Little

Venice, FL

I'm from upstate New York. I had no appointment to this fabulous business The Car Doc! I was greeted by Stacy and Desiree...the two most professional and kind ladies I've ever met! They sent my rental pick up truck to the service men, offered coffee and polite conversation. I am staying at The Beachcomer in Venice. I'm telling everyone how great this place is! Thank you to all the staff...you made my vacation even better!

Jeannie Lobene

Hands down the best car repair experience I have ever had! Stacy and Desirae are fabulous! My mechanic even texted me 2 days later to make sure everything was great! Highly recommend!!!

Pamala Randles

Good people to deal with, Stacey communicates and explains in detail. Prices are fair and the work is done well. I recommend this shop without hesitation.

Mike Tracy

You guys are great. I've been looking for a good honest repair shop for a long time. I already have friends coming there next week after my recommendation. Honest, Clean, Great Service. Now my only shop for car repairs.

Michael Anderson

I would like to thank Erin and the whole gang at Car Doc for the amazing service. They took care of the Ford and the Lexus today and I have a plan for future maintenance. It is nice to go to a business that is honest and takes care of their customers.

Kirsten Graham

Fair, honest, great work. So thankful I found this auto shop. Thanks

Carl Smith

The wonderful people at Car Doc put my mind at ease. Their customer relation skills are above reproach. Take your car there for all its needs. I sure will.

Lawrence Kosmuch

Car dealer said that I had a bad wheel bearing and gave me a price to repair it. I took it to Car Doc for a second opinion they confirmed the bearing needed to be replaced but their quote was hundreds of dollars less than the dealership. I told them to go ahead and they had it done in less than 90 minutes. I'll go back to them for all my car needs now.

Gary Cook

Used Car Doc twice now. Very happy with the work and their crew! Thanks Car Doc!

Linda Little

Had an issue with my truck. Stopped by and they were so helpful. Looked at my truck and quickly find and fixed my problems. Great staff. I'll be back.

These folks took amazing care of us and our car. They were transparent about the process and took the time to explain everything. Hard to find these days. They are a keeper

Eric Boelts

Donald Pennyfeather

Engine Maintenance

What a great business to deal with! Took care of my 08 Jeep patriot's brakes, engine tune-up, fluids, spark plugs, tires rotated! Performed around my busy schedule & finished the job! Will be my "go to" for future work. First class all the way! Second to none!

Louis McElyea

Car Dock On The Island has serviced my Audi for the past two years. I cannot speak highly enough to the quality of service and care provided.

Garry Gohlke

This is an AMAZING establishment with an AMAZING staff.
Electrical Services

I took my car to MandMaudio on Colonia Lane in Nokomis, FL to have a radio installed on July 5th 2023. I waited for my car to be completed, paid for the installation and started for home. Got 3 blocks away, tried to put my window down to no avail. Turned around immediately and returned to MandMaudio. Had the installer try to remedy the problem, :"Can't help you, the car's too old". Went back numerous times as the entire electrical system broke down a piece at a time. They wanted NOTHING to do with destroying my car's electrical system. Trying to resolve the electrical problem, I searched out 4 or 5 places. NO ONE WANTED ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY CAR. As I was walking out of Publix on the Island, I noticed a pick-up truck that read "Car Doc" . I walked up to the Technician in the garage who's name was Ron, and proceeded to explain my problem. It just so happens that Ron is very knowledgeable in all aspects of electrical systems in cars. He was able to get "The Hyundai Hotel" back to her old self in 2 DAYS. WOW!!! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment to ANY and EVERYONE that has any car trouble WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!

Michael Schotanus

Excellent customer service!!!! You feel that they want to take care of you and help your mechanical needs instead of rip you off. Was able to get our car fixed after I was told by another shop that it needed a new engine. I'm definitely bringing all my vehicles here and telling as many people I know to bring theirs!

Rob Rowe

I have taken two cars here and it is so nice having a reliable place with employees that are so thorough when explaining things and so accommodating.

Olivia Deivert

Go in, after you meet with them, you'll feel like you've known them forever. Fast, Friendly, and their follow up is second to none!

Mike Sonka

Fast, honest, knowledgeable and reasonable. Can't ask for more than that!

Harriet thompson

Great people, great service! Highly recommend!!

John Sherman

Undercar Services

We called Car Doc with a flat tire while visiting Florida from Michigan in April. They took us in immediately and diagnosed the problem as defect. We chose to replace that tire and another and place both new ones on the front. They found the tires and completed the work quickly. Very knowledgeable, quick and professional. Would work with them again.

Pam Monroe

Electronic Services

On Sunday July 2 all the warning lights in our car went on at the same time including the engine light. July 3 we called 5 auto repair places and no one could even look at until Friday the 7th. Then we tried Car Doc on the Island. Stacy was wonderful, said bring it right over as she had a technician that could look at it that morning. She called twice with updates on the diagnostics they ran and then called with the final price. It was finished same day before the July 4 holiday. We really appreciated her updates, very fair price and excellent quick service. As it is our only car so we were very, very grateful. Highly recommend this shop!

Char Kennedy

This was my first visit and the folks there could not have been nicer. The entire staff was very knowledgeable. They suggested other repairs my car will need soon but did not pressure me at all. Good honest place!

Jim Eichhorst

Quality reliable service from people who know what they're doing on the island!

Mac Mountain

It was so nice working with everyone there. They gave me a ride to work, called me with diagnosis and a cost and I picked it up at four already to go! And they said my car was adorable.

Cindy Toepfer

Very happy with quick and easy service, very professional and friendly.

Hunter Conant

They did everything that they said they were going to do, and were very knowledgeable. The fact that his people have been with him for a long time speaks volumes.

Michael Freedman

Electronic Services

Went in for "check engine" light issue, but by the time my appt came around the light had gone out. The staff was very nice and explained how the emission systems work. If it comes on again, definitely coming back.

Joe South

I can not tell you how wonderful the service was here!
AC Repair, near Venice

I was told by my car dealership that I needed a new air conditioner compressor. $2,000.00 worth of work! They charged me $139.00 for a compressor test. I came to Car Doc in Venice for a "second opinion". They did a test and found out my car ONLY NEEDED a Freon recharge at one tenth of the price my dealership was going to charge me. Please give them a chance - they sure saved me a lot of time and MONEY.

Kathryn Farmer

I always have horrible experiences with going to auto shops. I'm always given a large bill with no communication of what is going on. This company proved me wrong. They have gone above and beyond and they are there to answer my questions. Stacey got me in same day when I needed my car looked at and took the time to explain what is wrong with my vehicle and what needed to be done to keep me safe on the road. I have had nothing but a great experience with this auto shop and they are just amazing!

Kristin D

Venice, FL

Had my very old 2002 PT Cruiser brought in for an oil change and got a free 12pt inspection. I knew I had some issues with the car. Car Doc provided me with a detailed list of items that needs to be addressed. Addressed the safety issue repairs in a timely manner. Completely happy with the services from the moment I made the call to Car Doc to arrange for oil change, to picking my car up after repair completion! Can?t thank you enough!

Linda

Very accommodating! They fit me in immediately to check my coolant and oil when my car warning light lit up!

Kathy Ann Johnson

I was on my way to Venice Beach earlier today and got a nail in the tire. I stopped at the Car Doc on the Island and they had it fixed within 20 minutes and I was on my way again. Thank You!!

Marc J.

Have been taking both my husband and my car there for years. Very honest and quick service.

Yani Rosado

AC Repair

In Short, an honest, up front auto shop that does what they say. But, let's roll back. Ok, let's start with my inability to trust mechanics, auto shops, dealerships, contractors, restaurants, etc, at this point in my life. I have used great auto shops and I have had less than desired experiences. Because of this, I spend a lot of time researching repair shops and reading reviews. My wife's Explorer had no working A/C. Problematic for FL. Start the research on shops specifically on A/C. I came across Car Doc On The Island. Their google review rating was unbelievable, 4.9 out of 5. Ok, what was that based on, 20 reviews? No, closing in on 300 reviews. And these were glowing reviews, not the standard friends left a review to boost things. So, time to schedule. I was able to schedule online very easily. I Received a call the day before to confirm the appointment. We brought the vehicle in and they remembered the issues from the appointment request. Now, this was not the mechanic but the front office staff. They explained in detail what they would do, quoting the cost down to the parts required. Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Once the repairs were done, they called and texted the completion of the repair. We went back a short while later and everything was ready to go. The entire experience was very positive. Their pricing was very competitive, and they were considerate throughout the process. We do recommend Car Doc On The Island and we will return as the need arises.

Timothy Humphreys

My family and I have used other repair shops in the past but we were always over sold on work to be done to our vehicles and repairs were not always done correctly. With that being said with the friendly & knowledge staff and the expertise of Stacy the manager is bar to none. I highly recommend this shop as I will not go anywhere else and they also have a warranty to back up their work unlike all the other shops in town.

Melissa Koch

I took my 2014 Jeep Wrangler to Car Doc On The Island, gave them a pretty hefty project and they did amazing the staff is filled with great communicators and wonderful people. Thanks again Car Doc

Chase Casey

The whole team is thoroughly knowledgeable and very helpful. Would not take my car anywhere else!

Brendon Rowan

I will recommend them and I will be back

Very happy with the service. They provide a perfect mix of friendly and professional. Erin asked the right questions to give the tech a good idea of what the issue was, [intermittent working] and they got the car back to me that afternoon. It's a pleasure to deal with a locally owned business that Provides quality, honest work.

Bruce Carothers

Had the oil changed and also purchased a new battery for my 1972 Corvette. The guys were very careful and respectful of my car. Would recommend them.

Debbie Rybacki

I brought my vehicle here and have received excellent service, my car sounds and drives better than it ever has, I would highly recommend this company. They are very knowledgeable about my vehicle and what service it needs.

Maurice Schaller

Great staff! Great work! Great place!!!

Sophia Young

Miscellaneous Services

We take our van to Car Doc on the Island at least once a year for a safety check & any needed repairs before we drive north for the summer. They provide the most thorough, easy-to-understand checklist we have seen. Service manager Stacy Morton has the ability to explain the findings on the checklist in incredibly technical-but-easy-to-understand detail and make recommendations in a caring, no-pressure way. Service Advisor Erin is also very knowledgeable and is happy to provide a ride home and back while our car is being serviced. I have found the crew at the Car Doc to be honest and highly skilled, and I would highly recommend them.

Cynthia Nace

I needed two new tires very quickly they did the work very fast.

Momzilla 777

Engine & Transmission

My hubs and I took our vehicle to Car Doc on the Island last week. After trying to get into Matthew Currie Ford our dealership to look at my car since it was stuttering when I tried to go from 15 miles per hour to like 35-40. I also noticed I had a motor mount that was cracked and thought that could be the culprit, my engine was moving as I drove. The lady at Ford, who took my call in the service department quoted me 30 days out to have my car LOOKED at and 90 days for transmission issues which she was positive* it was (without looking at my car.) That was not going to work, if something was that wrong with my car 90 days is too long to wait, I kind of read that answer like, we do not want to service this. I called Car Doc on Venice Island by Publix remembering a positive experience there once when I needed an oil change, and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER... Stacy and Erin in the office got me in the NEXT day to diagnose and only took 3 business days to put me back into my car! Yes, it was a little pricey but not as pricey as a new transmission! It ended up being my torque converter-motor mount-and I needed a belt replacement. Had I waited the 90 days my transmission would have blown due to the torque converter and I would have been paying Ford a ton more... Car Doc saved my wallet/car, they took photos, and supplied me with a 'moving forward' maintenance sheet that is SO helpful, Stacy even walked me in the garage showing me my parts that had to be replaced. I will continue to go there, thanks Stacy & Car Doc!!

Car Doc has always looked out for my vehicles and my safety. They are honest and provide service in a timely manner. I always feel safe leaving my car with them and knowing that they will make sure it runs well.

Nichole Richardson

AC Repair

We have a 2019 Audi A6. The dealer said we needed an AC evaporator for $6000. This brought us to Car Doc. Stacy talked with us over the phone and she knew her stuff which gave us a warm/fuzzy. The second opinion was well worth the $$ spent. Their diagnosis was thorough and well documented. No evaporator was needed! And she had us bring the car back the next week (NC) to make sure it was working correctly. Car Doc is our new "go to" car repair. Thanks to everyone there for great service and attention.

Janet Guyer

Always friendly and give full details when work needs to be done on your vehicle. No need to take my car anywhere else in Venice.

Cassandra Root

Great people to deal with. Very professional and friendly. Stacy took the time to explain the repairs needed and priced it right for us. Our BMW is going on 25 years old and they have helped to maintain it in perfect running order. Still fun to drive and having the Car Doc people standing behind it gives us great peace of mind!!

Richard Curcio

Very easy to make an appointment, super friendly and very knowledgeable on my vehicle. Will be back!

James Karsmarski

If could give more than 5 stars would. This company is Great! Have been using them for several years now and have Always had a great experience. They are very knowledgeable of all car issues. Stacy is wonderful to work with. Very professional and they always try to service your needs at the best possible prices. Would highly recommend them!!!

Maryann Raymond

Brakes

WONDERFUL!!!! Would've left a 10 star review if possible. Could've easily charged me to have all my brakes repaired, but called to tell me that my front brakes were in great shape and only needed to replace the rear brakes. Unheard of in my experience!!! I'm new to the area but am a customer for life. Extremely kind and informative!!!

Michael Rife

Brakes

I brought my 2013 Mercedes E350 Cabriolet to Car Doc for a complete brake service. Shop manager "Stacey" gave me a fair price over the phone. After shop tech inspected my car, Stacey called to inform me rear pads and rotors did not need to be replaced. Thank you Car Doc, Stacey/Tech for your honesty and excellent work. I recommend Car Doc on the Island to anyone with car issues. Thank you.

Jose Nieves

I have had great experiences with Car Doc. They are service oriented and their expertise in auto repair is clearly evident. I found their rates were reasonable and the warranty on their work is appreciated and valued. I am so glad to have found Car Doc for my auto servicing needs.

Ralph

These folks are the definition of "customer service!" Whatever it takes, they'll get it done. When it was impossible for me to get ANY response from a dealer, Stacy got them on the phone and I ended up with the response - and an appointment! Amazing!

Franklin Wright

My wife had a screw embedded in her rear tire on her Ford Edge. We called around looking for someone to help with an emergency repair, no luck. Car Doc was the only one who jumped on it and saved our day. Many thanks and we highly recommend them for any car repair.

Robert Eder

CREW OF THE CAR DOC, TY VERY MUCH FOR HANDLING THE ISSUES ON MY VEHICLE, YOU ALL ROCK

JJ JJ

Stacy and her crew are terrific. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of auto maintenance and do a very thorough job of diagnosing and repairing any problems. Even offer a 3 year/30k mile warranty on all repairs and is honored at hundreds of auto shops nationwide. Would highly recommend!

Brian Jenkins

Very good experience. I had a simple heat shield rattle and they were fast and efficient as well as reasonably priced. Actually showed me what the problem was before doing the work. Excellent customer service. I will definitely go to them again for future auto repair needs.

Mark Reissig

Last week we brought our 2010 Impala in after a year for routine repairs. Car Doc did find some additional items needing work, which we're grateful for. The work was perfectly explained and expertly executed, as Car Doc is reputed for. Thank you Car Doc!

Doug Riemer

I recently needed a new tire. Dealing with Erin, Stacy and technician Howie was outstanding. I will return for any automotive needs. Excellent service and communication.

Leo G.

Courteous, professional and knowledgeable.

Michael Gleason

They always go above and beyond to help you. I would highly recommend them!

Debbie DuFour

Went to this shop with a screw in my tire needing repair. They were about to close but Stacey said they would fix it for me. They fixed it promptly, provided me with some other issues they found. I had a great experience and would not hesitate recommending them. Very knowledgeable, friendly and plan to go back for routine maintenance in the future. Great find.

Steve Marley

This is an outstanding local business that I found by chance! I needed air in my motorhome inside dually tire which is very difficult to get an air hose to. The office staff immediately asked a very competent service tech to service the tire. They would not let me pay for their service so I simply tipped their tech. I was greeted with a smile by everyone, and noticed right away that they truly value customer service. Guess where all my future car and truck service needs will be done? Y'all are the best! Thank you!

Terry Lewis

Still the best service around. I have been usuing them for over 7 years for all of my auto service needs. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

Joe Pelot

Service was timely. Recommend this service. Thanks!

Grandma Sprouse - Stacey

AC Repair, near Venice, Florida

They helped me to arrange a tow to their shop from my location. They were absolutely wonderful and helped get things in motion. Repairs were done in a timely manner considering how much was wrong and trying to get parts. They took pics of the issue and explained everything thoroughly. They are a bit more expensive but their service and trustworthiness is impeccable! Highly recommend.

Kelly Sillanpaa

Venice, FL

This was a truly superlative experience. Stacy took wonderful care of us, comprehensively explaining all recommendations and subsequent repairs. She is certainly a treasure. I will trade with Car Doc's Venice moving forward. They can be trusted, which is rare in today's world.

Ralph Touch

Fast friendly service. They were able to quickly diagnosis and fix the car. Made my day.

Erin Fangboner (Chronic Crystal Mermaid)

Dawn Hook

Locally owned and run place. Will take care of you quickly and efficiently without fleecing you. Honest, trustworthy people, will bring my current and future vehicles here for as long as I can.

Sam Joynson

As hard as it is to find an honest mechanic these days this place is it! Great people, very fair pricing plus honesty, integrity and professionalism!

Yamzey Gonzalez

Great service and great mechanics. They have worked on my mini and saved me money. They also saved me when I had them go through a used car that I bought from a dealer. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Art Lux

They do my usual repair and maintenance on my car and today I had a problem with the brake light remaining ON. It was close to closing and I pulled up told them my problem and they fixed it in ten minutes, NO CHARGE.

William McCarthy

These guys are great. Honest and they go above and beyond to help out. Cannot say enough nice things

N G

Wonderful shop! Had some electrical issues and some other general repairs needed and they did such an amazing job! Everyone was so kind and understanding and I was able to drive my car home the same day!

clayton garofalo

If I could give Stacy and the crew 1 million stars I absolutely would. There is nothing better as a young woman to trust and rely on my mechanics to not only be honest but courteous while I ask my hundreds of questions and Stacy is always willing to explain and take my service to the next level but not over charge. I will always go to Car Doc for car repairs and maintenance.

Brianna Morton

I've had a couple great experiences at The Car Doc on Venice island. Stacy is the most knowledgeable person I've ever dealt with when it comes to vehicles. I've taken my car to another place in Sarasota for over 5 years and wasn't receiving the services I was paying for. Thankful that Stacy explains everything in detail as what needs to be done now and what can wait till next time and they give you a warranty to back up their work, what more needs to be said.

Melissa Koch

Excellent service, fair prices. I would highly recommend this shop to my friends and family.

Elijah Neal

If I could give Car Doc on the Island 1 million stars I would. Stacy and folks are honest, kind and dependable- just give them a call you won't regret!

Edy Comes

I recently had my car serviced at Car Doc on the Island. The technician did a full inspection. I was given a written estimate for the scheduled maintenance that was due and the bill was exactly that amount. No surprises! I was also told of upcoming manufacturers services that would be due by my next oil change. Stacy also arranged for my car to be picked up and dropped off after the service was completed. This level of customer service is a lost art today! I will be using them for all my car repairs.

Jim DelVasto

This place is amazing. I was really impressed that Stacy ran a car fax to find valuable information about repairs. She is so thorough and feel an instance likeable person who TRULY shows appreciation for your business. This place ROCKS!!

Sylvia Hart

Very accurate and prompt! My favorite car hospital.

Patti Highland

My husband has taken our van there for maintenance for a couple of years now. They do wonderful work and are honest and caring. The pick up and drop off service is fantastic! Thank you!

Courtney Gherardini

Sherry Can

First time to the shop, they got me right in for an oil change. Office ran like a well oiled machine, much appreciated.

Michael Olivieri

Alignment and wheel bearings. This place was unbelievable to deal with. Kathy was wonderful to deal with on the phone and immediately set up an appt right away for us. Danny the Mgr spent his time going over every bit of the repairs we needed and showed us what he was talking about. Not only did they have the car done early then expected Danny went an hr out of his way to find a matching hubcap. Since our car had to stay overnight they actually drove us to a rental car place!! We would highly recommend Car Doc for your car needs repair!

Kenneth Barrett & Kathy Doneghey

Friendly, competent, on time, honest and courteous. Do what they set out to do and do it well.

Donna Jewett

Electrical Services, near Venice, OH

Everyone is so friendly and personable. They clearly explained what needed to be done, got necessary parts so quickly and I had my "mini" back with the new battery installed plus an oil change by that afternoon. Would highly recommend and will be back....in fact, have already scheduled the next oil change!

Becky Bartter

Car check up, oil change, excellent service!

Matilda Mosleh

Stopped in to see if they could fix my tire. They said yes and they did a great job. Very friendly. All the people there were great and very professional. I now have a new local business to take care of my car.

John Kotabish

They respectfully fixed me right up. Kind & patient.

Kendra Kruse

Very pleasant and professional.

Elliott Halacy

Another great experience at Car Doc!

Marci Weidemiller

Brought my 2013 Dodge Charger in for which I though was going to be a major electrical repair. Turns out it was a simple fix due to my error. Most repair shops could have and would have charged a crazy service charge fee. Mike and his crew DID NOT do that. In todays society they are a rare breed. They now have a new customer in me!!

Gail Galinski

Very Quick service, helpful staff. Good place for car service.

Ray Podowski

I love Car Doc! The whole staff treats me like family and the service is thorough and excellent. My car is old enough to vote and has turned over 205k happy miles so far! Heading to vacation and confident my car will keep serving me well because of its check-up with Car Doc on Venice island!

Kim Kercheval

The team at Car Doc is so helpful and very experienced. Have been going there for over 10 years. Highly recommend.

Kathy Scanlon

Very pleasant staff and superior service would recommend to my friends

Judy Spang

Service of malfunctioning headlight. Determined that New headlight was needed, ordered and not yet arrived.

Leslie Y

I wanted to give it a little time after the repairs were finished before I reviewed the work. A week or so feels about right. My shifter knob wouldn?t go into reverse or first gear at all and I had a fuel leak. I came in without an appointment, was seen immediately, and told that they would look at it and let me know. After leaving I was contacted later that same day to say they would be able to get started on it that day, and that the work should be finished by the next day. They delivered on their promises and then some. All pricing was fair and transparent. The stick feels brand new. The fuel line was fixed. On top of that, my muffler was sagging and they fixed that, too, at no charge. Everyone there was very courteous and professional. I will be going to them exclusively from now on.

Werner Luckhoff

I ran into a bit of an issue when a tire blew out on a trip. The staff here was able to get new tires in uncommon sizes faster than I have ever seen before and they made it all happen stress free! Greatly appreciate all the help!

Mitch Allison

Fast and friendly service. The work was even done faster than expected. Great business!!

Charlie Hemp

My husband's first experience with Car Doc On The Island was excellent! We strongly recommend Car Doc to anyone searching for a reliable, experienced staff, and reasonably priced mechanic. The owners are very professional and accommodating to the customer's needs.

Meredith Coffman

If you like doing business with local people in your own community you can't go wrong with Car Doc. They are honest about what needs to be done to your car. They are knowledgeable, professional, and prompt. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It doesn't get any better.

David Moates

Used them to check out three cars I was interested in purchasing from the internet and thanks to them two of these cars were not meant for me. The staff is professional very knowledgeable friendly and super accommodating. After my experience with them they are servicing both my cars and anyone that asks do you have a good mechanic my answer is yes Car Doc on the Island!

Helen Disher

Great family owned business. They look over your auto and don't miss a detail. I am confident to drive my car that has over 100k miles, because they are so good at their jobs.

Three Oak Stitcher

Nice people; great service!

David Armstrong

Best auto mechanic service in Southwest FL. Honest, knowledgeable, friendly and timely.

Andrew LeRoy

Car Doc on the Island did fix my problem and they will get all of my future business!!! My 2008 Passat wagon was constantly having a dead battery. Local repair shop could not find it. So I fell back on going to Sunset Volkswagen the closest dealer. Was advised by them that they could not take the car in for service until after Thanksgiving which is 2 weeks away. And then they told me that they no longer service cars that are older than 2010!!!!! This is a disgraceful level of lack of service by the dealer.

Norman Wirtz

Simply the best, honest, super nice, home town people. You will get an honest estimate and top quality work and they will even drive you home and pick you up when your car is done.

David Micklos

Excellent and speedy service for my Tesla model 3 flat tire!

Eric Perez

Mike, Anna and team are always very pleasant and helpful. I always get my service/ maintenance taken of by Car Doc and will continue!

Emmanuel Egamino

Such an amazing place to get car repairs done, I?ve been that last few times for my car and they?re always so nice and informative with what needs to be done. They always inspect and let you know ahead of time what needs to be done, and they also give you an estimated price which I like as well. I?m going to miss this place when I move but if I ever come back down this is the place I?d go to in a heartbeat

Shalynn S. (Mangadrawer12321)

Saved me with a nail in my tire after they were closed! We were on our way out of town. Wonderful people! Thank you.

Brittany Smith

Great work and very professional, friendly service. Big thumbs up!

b c

As a retired woman, it is so comforting to know I have such an honest and caring car repair service. Added to that, the people in the front office always make me feel welcome, and are beyond efficient. Since I know they really care about me and my safety, I am free to worry about other things, like grandkids’ play dates! Thank you, Anna and Mike, and now the new owner, Steve is keeping their tradition of care alive!

Barbara Sirpilla

21 years of excellent service.

Lynne Warberg

Quality service and quality work, one of the few places I trust to do a job right. This was my third visit and I have nothing to complain about.

Kev

Super nice people would recommend them!

Kenny Gibson

Anna and Mike super nice . Stacey , she is the girl you talk business with , very knowledgeable about your car, and explains everything to you . You feel no pressure when she details the cost of the fixing of your car ! I will recommend this place with my eyes closed !

Betzaida Diaz

It is difficult finding a trustworthy mechanic these days, and I am so glad that I found Car Doc. I have an older Toyota that desperately needed servicing, and my experience was a very positive one. They explained everything that was needed, and provided me with an estimate considerably lower than the Toyota dealership. Service was fast and the staff was incredible. My car has not run this smoothly in years! They even followed-up with me a few days later to see how my car was running. I was very impressed with them and would highly recommend Car Doc to anyone. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

KD R

Great service

Conall Hayes

So impressed by the mechanics and other staff here. They were able to find what was causing my tire to lose air when no one else could.

Elizabeth Reynolds

My car was in dire need of tires. Because of a wonderful experience that my son had with Car Doc on the Island, I decided to go talk to them about the tires. They are very friendly and helpful. I couldn?t be happier with my experience. They advised me on what tires would work best on my car (not the most expensive), ordered the tires, arranged for installation, balancing and alignment. On the day of my appointment to have the work done, they came over and picked my car up and brought it back when it was done. You couldn?t ask for better service than that! I recommend Car Doc on the Island in. Venice, Fl very highly.

Joan Klein

Family owned business that pays 100% to small details. The customer service was top notch! I had a small issue with my newly purchased tires being out of balance and was traveling out of the area and had to have someone else re-balance them, Mike covered the cost immediately with no questions asked. I recommend them very highly!

Tim Hall

Friendly and welcoming family business! Very helpful and accommodating in determining the vibration issue with my vehicle and remedying the issue. Reasonable prices and great service!

Paul Brown

Car Doc on the Island is the absolute best! Stacy, Anna, Mike and the rest of the staff are awesome. They're so friendly and down to earth. It feels like your taking your car to family to be repaired. They helped me get my 2009 Accord back on the road with some much needed repairs. The repairs were done so well. I love driving my car again!! Thank you Stacy, Anna, Mike and staff!! I'll never go anywhere else for car repairs!!!

Dan Klein

Have been here twice. They are very professional and humble. Everything car related is expensive, but they are honest. That makes a huge difference when it comes to choosing.

Randi Lindsay

I love Car Doc! The whole staff treats me like family and the service is thorough and excellent. My car is old enough to vote and has turned over 205k happy miles so far! Heading to vacation and confident my car will keep serving me well because of its check-up with Car Doc on Venice island!

Big thanks to the mechanics at Car Doc for catching a serious problem during a routine inspection on the oil change. Could of had serious consequences if not caught by the crew. Thanks again Car Doc.

Dennis McCarthy

Always polite, professional and very reasonable. They treat my car as it?s their own. Great customer service. They talk to you not at you. Will keep going back. It?s good to see a business that treats you in the old ways.

Bill Commander

Have been with the Car Doc since 2016 and have NEVER been disappointed. Fabulous owners and they all treat you like family. Very involved in the community and they take pride in their work. If, by some strange reason you are not pleased, they will work with you to make you happy! Can't say enough about them! Coming from Massachusetts, we wondered if we could find someone we trusted. After a few hits or misses, we were given the name of the Car Doc and the trust was immediate! Do yourself a favor and call for an appointment. You won't be disappointed!

Denise Boissy

Really helpful people! Will tell you what you need fixed but also tells you if you don't need something done instead of just grabbing your money.

Jampe S

General Services, near Venice, Florida

My wife and I move to Venice in 2017. Our Mazda needed routine service. We finished grocery shopping a Publix and I noticed Car Doc On The Island next to Publix. So, I thought I would give them a try. I met with Ana and we hit it off right away. She was so attentive, polite and courteous that I found myself wondering, "Am I really in an auto service and repair shop?" I also met Ana's husband Mike and he was exactly the same. The best way to describe their service is fantastic! Mike, Ana and their entire staff are very knowledgeable, courteous and respectful to their customers. They have always taken care of all of my auto needs in a professional and timely fashion. I simply could not ask for more from an auto service/repair shop! So, if you are looking for the best in auto service/repair around. You need look not further than Car Doc On The Island!!! You won't be disappointed!

Joe Pelot

Excellent service with a professional and friendly manner.

Terry Angley

Car Doc is the Best. They take care of you, fix things right and charge a reasonable price.

Greg Emerton

Best mechanics in Venice. Honesty and reliability. Very nice family business. Highly recommend.

MaryAnne Johnson

Our 2012 Mini Countryman was in need of a new headlight - we're new to the area (Venice) and the closest Mini Dealership wasn't convenient so we took a chance on Car Doc On the Island. We arrived without an appointment, Mike, the owner, confirmed it was only a bulb, but he had to get the part from Ft. Myers which would take a few hours for the part to arrive which would have been close to or after closing. We said we could come back the next day so not to have him wait on us - his response was "no worries. I'll stay as long as it takes". Mike not only provided a great service, he's also a very likable man. Hopefully, we won't be in need of his services anytime soon but we will definitely be going back to Car Doc!!

Jeff Maniscalco

It was great! Car is back to running well. Tires were fixed.

Dee Folger

Heating and Cooling Services, near Venice, Michigan

While on vacation my car suffered a cooling problem. Mike & Anna worked me in to their busy schedule and got me back on the road very quickly saving precious days. Outstanding service. I highly recommend Car Doc On The Island. Thanks again Mike, Anna & Staff!!

Jeff S

Mike and Anna & crew are the best!! When they are working on our car it feels like a trusted relative is your mechanic. Mike will not rest until he does the job the right way and always at the fairest prices. I would give 10 stars if I could.

David Holgerson

I routinely have my car serviced every March before heading back north and I feel very safe doing so, knowing that the team at Car Doc has done their usual excellent work. I highly recommend their service.

Dorothy Williams

GREAT work great people. Kind too. Highly recommended. BILL BAECKLER

Bill Baeckler

Very nice folks to deal with. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and have a wide range of skill sets. You can be confident they will do the job with expertise and get it right the first time. I had tires and brakes replaced and Matt fixed a very frustrating and elusive parking/running light problem and dressed up the wiring to look original. A complete job well done. I am very pleased, Thank you Mike, Anna, Stacey, Matt and the rest of the staff.

Bill Tank

An honest mechanic, no kidding! I had my car towed to a dealership service dept. They said I needed a new battery and an alternator. I just bought a new battery so I was suspicious, so I took it to Car Doc they found the problem and it did not need a new battery or alternator. The dealership service dept. wanted to charge me $865 and that would not have fixed the problem! Car Doc on the Island charged me $148 and my problem was solved, Don't go to dealership service departments, they are on commission to sell you as much as possible.

Steve Anthony

I am new to Venice and I had an oil leak and it's so hard to find someone that I trust to be honest and do the repairs correctly. I was given a recommendation to use Car Doc. I can't say enough how great they were and am very happy with the service and will definitely recommend and be back.

Myra Domenzain

This is the best auto repair shop in town. They are friendly, professional, and treat you like family! The technicians were very thorough with every job they?ve done, and they always take the time to explain the services they are providing and why they are necessary. I?ve taken every car I?ve ever owned there, and they have always been stellar! If you go, tell them I sent you!

Christina Tomasso

Having met Don and he assisted me with tire pressure. I wanted to trust the Car Doc with my front end rattle. Mike was helpful & informative, and the estimate fair. Job was done quickly. No rattle. Would recommend this business.

Christina Filbrandt

General Services, near Venice, NH

Family owned and operated. Very nice to work with. Down to earth people, candid with diagnosis. Anna, Mike, Stacy, Don, and the entire crew.

George Maniatty

Awesome shop folks. Excellent service, very thorough and honest. It could be very unsettling trying to find a mechanic when you're from NJ or really any ware. Ladies, do not feel intimidated....trust me Car Doc is an honest shop. Anna (mike the mechanic's wife) will see to it. As well as the other Staff in the office. Recently, I had to have my car serviced before a road trip to NC and VA. Mike and his team went over my Ford Edge from front to back and top to bottom. I can not elaborate enough about the good quality and professionalism from Car Doc.

MaryAnne Johnson

Friendly, honest service for your car. Highly recommend Car Doc

Buck Christoffels

Today was my first experience with this shop and it was great! They got me in last minute to mount new tires on my 4x4. They were so friendly and got the job done quick and for a really good price. I highly recommend them if you need any work done!

Eric Austin

Great and very timely service. Staff are the nicest people. I fully trust their workmanship.

carl dealoe

Excellent customer service and very trustworthy! They will suggest what you need to maintain your car in good condition but they are not pushy. I won?t go anywhere else.

Frank Butry

Mike and Ana and crew truly only do 5 star work and provide 5 star service!! I have never been to another mechanic that is more competent, fair, and honest. Had my catalytic converter replaced, but soon after had a minor gasket issue that was related and Mike took care of it right away. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to all my friends and family!!!

Erica Thomas

Speedy, friendly and accurate service to my car!

Tony V.

These guys treated me very nice. Like they already knew me. They were able to diagnose the problem with my car, and fix it same day. I am satisfied with everything, and would strongly recommend these guys. The a/c is working perfect, thanks Anna, Don and everyone else!

Anthony Villanova

I came to Venice on vacation and after getting here we realized that the A/C in our BMW was not keeping up with the Florida heat. I found this Gem through a simple search and glad I did!! Very nice and honest people. I got a Full A/C service for less than a $100, vacuumed out the system purged any air and added a little additional Freon. Took the time to explain the potential problems and was willing to recheck the system after a week to see how it was holding up. Can not recommend them enough!!

Dieter Finke

I am not one who is above admitting when he is wrong. Recently we had an experience here that I was not happy with at the time. So often in this Sarasota County area, there are rip off artists and I felt like 'here we go again'. I was angry and posted a negative review without attempting to contact the owner. I thought what's the point. Car Doc on the Island reached out to me and to my shock and pleasant surprise THEY MADE THINGS RIGHT. Thank you for some old fashioned Integrity.

Bryan Weed

Very friendly staff. Great service, and reasonable prices. Very knowledgeable, and Mike the owner treated me like family. Great reputation and I see why. I will definitely be going back here and I highly recommend Car Doc on the island.

Eric Dixon

Excellent service and extremely trustworthy.

What a find! Staff is excellent, very friendly, explained the issue well and fixed my Silverado A/C problem quickly at a reasonable price. Great locally owned business!

Steve W

Not often do you see a company with a 5.0 google rating and this many reviews. That pretty much sums up the experience you will have when you work with the team at Car Doc. Friendly across the entire staff, knowledgeable, on-time, and priced fairly. Dropped my MINI off at 8:15am, got a call with a detailed explanation of necessary service/repair with a price, and just picked up the car at 3:30p, ready to go with new pads and rotors and a couple of sensors. Thanks, Car Doc!

Mike and Anna Velickovich are very honest, professional, and knowledgeable car repair business owners. I've trusted them with all our vehicles for about 15 years. If your car has a problem, they will be upfront and honest with you. They also provide a car pickup and drop off service in case you can't make it to their shop. They are all around the BEST mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of working with and the are the sweetest people.

I am so glad that I found Car Doc. I found them to be honest with fair pricing, and repaired in a timely fashion. Anna explained everything that needed to be done and even showed me the old parts! They sort of treat you like family and I'm sure that they treat their employees with the most respect like they do their customers.

Laura Casale

I always trusted going there with my car. They were honest and always told me exactly what needed to be fixed on my car. I was never told that I needed something done on my car and it didn't need it done. I was always given an estimate so I knew around how much everything would cost ahead of time. Anna and Mike and their staff were very nice and helpful and I would recommend them to all my friends to go there to have their car serviced.

Ryan Ahern

Car Doc responded promptly to identify and fix the problem my mother-in-law had with her car. Mike, Anna, and the techs there treated her with respect and searched diligently for the needed part. She is so grateful to have a safe and reliable car. Thank you so much. She now can enjoy her time in Florida.

Jacqueline Binder

Car Doc really helped me out after another place said they couldn't do anything for me without a huge pricetag. They fixed the issue very quickly for a very reasonable price. Good people, good service. I'll definitely be returning!

Bri Hardman

Terrific service, got my car In the same day I called. Had it back before dinner. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else for service. Nice people and great mechanics.

So impressed. I went in today with two hard to diagnose problems that turned out to not be problems. Matt, the technician explained the non - issue and Tony at the front desk told me no charge. What??? Car repair with no charge for even time? Don't look anywhere else. Clean, organized and friendly. Publix is next door as well as Brew Burgers. Doesn't get any better.

Thomas Carpenter

Absolutely terrible, just kidding, very family friendly shop, their pricing is better than most And they only address what's necessary. I highly recommend them, God bless you guys Toni, Ana and Mike.

Very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help us with a ride home and back again to pick up our car. We would definitely recommend Car Doc to anyone in need of auto repair or service in the venice area. We will definitely go back!

Lauren Moskal

Best shop between Naples and Tampa to have your MINI Cooper serviced! Honest, fairly priced work, and they always go the extra mile to keep me happy.

Heidi McLain

This is the best place in town these people really know how to keep your car running in tip top shape. Besides there knowledge it is a fun place to be, it is like being part of a big family. If there were more than 5 stars I would go as high as they are, great great place!

Elizabeth Hill

Excellent service from top to bottom. They located the replacement part my old mechanic said was unavailable unless I went to dealer and paid twice the price.

Veronica Foster

The Car Doc people are super nice and their work is stellar. I highly recommend them as a top flight car repair shop.

Car Docs, by far, is the best place to take your vehicle for any service. Every time we have visited our family and friends in Florida it seems that we have car problems and Mike & Anna have always been there for us with quick and excellent service. With the 29 point service check they provide it is indeed just like going to the doctor for a physical. They do this service to help the customer, not try to do a hard sell like so many other places. With Mike and Anna, when they tell me that our vehicle needs something I always say "Let's do it" Thank you so much Mike and Anna for treating my wife and I like family, you are the best! 2019 Update: My wife and I finally made a permanent move down here in Sunny Southwest Florida and after getting settle in we bought a used Mitsubishi convertible sports car to help save on fuel and also take advantage of the beautiful weather that we have for most of the year. It had a few strange noises and was running a little rough so we took it in to the Car Doc on the Island and they did a complete check up. The guys there found things that I would have never found until I needed them, like the broken windshield washer and the brakes that needed new pads and rotors.Thank you again for such a complete check, the car runs great and it's very fun to drive.

Bill Bauer

Great place for repairs on my 20 year old 1999 Chevy S10 pickup. Anyone with an older vehicle should defiantly consider Car Doc for their diagnostic and maintenance needs.

Bob Linder

They are great people and do good job on your cars.

Jacqueline Bouquet

Awesome love them!!! Very trustworthy!!!!

Tanya Florio

What a great experience with Car Doc on the Island! They worked with my schedule, allowing me to drop my vehicle for previously quoted service and shuttled me to and from a local appointment. The service was completed in a very timely manner. Not only that, the invoice was exactly what the quote reflected, with no surprises! I recommend visiting with Anna & Toni Marie at Car Doc for your auto service needs. Great service, competitive pricing and smiles ahead of the other guys!

DB Reisig - Venice

We are new owners in Venice. On our recent visit we had car problems. The staff and owner at Car Doc couldn't have been more helpful. Quick service repairing our vehicle and even courtesy rides to make it a wonderful experience. They will be our go to mechanics from now on.

Mike R - Venice

Car Doc is the best auto repair shop in Sarasota County! It's a family business, and they act that way! The mechanics are dedicated and hard workers! Mike, the owner, will actually take time out of his schedule, and ride in your car with you, until he finds the problem! Do you know any other owners who will do that? I don't! Also, his wife, Ana and Toni always make you feel welcome when you enter. I have a Volvo! Great car, but when they break you must take it to expert repair shops which are few and far between! Again, Car Doc is the best!!

James Bessa - Sarasota

I have been a customer for almost 20 years. Mike and his staff are the BEST you will ever find. Honest, fair price, and above all Friendly. I trust them with all my company trucks and personal vehicles. Ask about the LIFETIME OIL CHANGE .. best deal ever! Thanks for all you do.

Larry LaFrance - Venice,FL

As an out of stater on Spring Break, couldn't thank the Car Doc enough for fixing an issue with our car. Very kind and up front and the loaner car was a very nice touch. We have had car issues in the past while on vacation and have had some good luck with service and repair but nothing like our experience with the folks at The Car Doc. If you have the need for a service/repair shop in the Venice area, the Car Doc is first rate. Can't speak highly enough of our experience with them.

Mike - Delton, MI

Good work!
