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. Family owned business with great service, competitive pricing and smiles ahead of the other guys!

Amazing experience. Such honest people. We went to Lexus and they told us we needed new brakes and then when we brought it to Car Doc they showed us that we still have 50% left on our brakes. Amazing integrity, and Ethics.

Where to begin! My second experience and I have only outstanding comments. Had spent decades using another shop that took advantage of an “old woman” who had been a long term customer. Everything is expensive today but I am confident I got my money’s worth at CarDoc along with genuine help and out standing service. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

We were in a pinch with tire issues and Car Docs came through fabulously. They were personable, attentive and professional in every way. We are new to the area and we're looking for the best mechanics. It looks as if we found them and we will return with all our auto needs. Kevin & Pat Ward

Recently started taking my truck here and couldn’t be happier. Come to find out a lot of my friends having been using them and are also extremely happy. They found a water pump issue when diagnosing a different problem and I can’t say how much that has saved me as I’m taking a road trip soon. Don’t wait call car doc today!

I brought my car in to get looked at Car Doc last week. I found Stacy and Desiree to be honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy people. They gave me a plan for my repairs, so I didn’t have to do everything all at one time or feel like they were trying to sell me on stuff I didn’t need. I highly recommend Car Doc!!!

Great place for car repair! Efficient and a great service at reasonable prices.
Frank Izzo
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
Have used Car Doc several times over last few years to service my Mini Clubman and always been a great experience!
Joe Menotti
The customer service/service could not have been better. Car Doc is everything you could want - they are amazingly thorough and amazingly reasonable.
Mel Antones
Stacy and Desiree are amazing, so helpful and friendly. I needed a lot of work done to my car including tires, brakes, oil leaks and they worked with me on which things to prioritize. Great people and service!
Melissa Zigrosser
We needed a quick turnaround on a 2010 car that was only driven a few times a year for a 14 hour drive home. Desiree and the team were helpful, friendly and explained everything they were doing. I would highly recommend them for any of your automotive repair needs in the future.
Kris Bayer
Great service. Even got a ride back to my condo while they did the extra work on my car in the same day.

They showed me respect, kindness, and professionalism throughout the entire process. They made everything go as smoothly as possible and kept me informed every step of the way. It's rare to find customer service this genuine and caring. I highly recommend Car Doc on the Island to anyone looking for honest, friendly, and reliable service.
Sarah Montoya
I had an outstanding experience with Car Doc. A women ran auto repair shop! From the moment I arrived I was treated with honesty, professionalism and respect. Stacy and Desiree the service advisors are extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the issues with my vehicle. What impressed me most was their integrity- there was no pressure. No unnecessary repairs suggested, just straightforward and trustworthy service. The quality of the work was excellent and it was clear that they take great pride in the business and the customer satisfaction. It’s refreshing to find a mechanic shop who is both highly skilled and genuinely cares about their clients. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a reliable, honest knowledgeable repair service

Deserie was very helpful and thorough with advising me on the needed repairs. All work was completed in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with my experience at Cardoc of Venice.
Robert Killian
Very professional and helpful to get all the answers from my car
Jacqueline Svilokos
I bottomed out my car on a parking space curb & was concerned about undercarriage damage. I queried GEMINI for best Venice area auto service shops and Car Doc was a top recommendation. I was near them and called @4pm; spoke with Stacy (GenMgr) & she brought me right in. They put the car up on a lift for a thorough inspection, and were able to get the tires needed the next AM and took complete care of everything. Friendly and professional, great folks to deal with. Both Stacy and Desiree in the office were very friendly and helpful; Car Doc is where any service work needed when I'm in FL will be done.

Really nice folks and fantastic mechanics. Took great care of me and my car.
John Caccamo
First time customer. I was referred to Doc Car by a customer impressed with their service. Several months ago, I bought a 2004 Jaguar S-type. Two weeks ago, in succession, I was alerted to low coolant, a check engine light, and loss of AC. Car documentation showed the oil hadn’t been changed in a year and aside from leaking, the wrong coolant/antifreeze was being used. I agreed to Doc Car offer to do a 21-point car inspection as part of an oil change, and a coolant flush. The initial inspection identified worn out tires, 20-year-old sparks plugs and numerous small leaks from worn out hoses and hose clamps. The AC problem was due to a faulty climate control unit and water pump. All brought to my attention when they took me into the shop and showed me firsthand the condition of the car and all the worn parts. Finding OEM/replacement parts for a 20-year-old car is monumental at best. Not only did they (specifically Stacy, parts guru extraordinaire) obtained all the parts and had my car running in a reasonable course of time. Although the entire staff at Car Doc are exceptional and treat you like family there are 4 that I need to single out : Adam - the dedicated mechanic who spent hours repairing the Jag. Stacy – parts service guru tracking and retrieving the water pump from Japan! Desiree – the tire expert and Michael who drove me back and forth to the shop. In my 60 years of owning cars, I have never experienced the kind of service Car Doc has provided me. And to top it off they warrant their work (except tires) for 3 years. I will highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Jose Ortiz, USN/DoD retired, Venice Fl

This place is AWESOME. I had to have my car towed by AAA and they would only bring it to an authorized repair shop... Car Doc on the island. I'm so glad they did. I thought I had an expensive repair pending. They found that the real problem was a malfunctioning component and replaced it, costing a fraction of what I had budgeted. That's what I call honest and reliable.
Dana Beecher
Car Docs is the best of the best and has been our go-to shop. From the first visit, they've taken great care of my family, always flexible with scheduling and a level of honesty and transparency which is rare to find. I will continue to recommend them without hesitation.
Joe Armstrong
I’ve had cars for almost 40 years on 3 continents and I’ve never been as happy as I am taking all my vehicles to CarDoc. I’m not looking for the cheapest I just value honesty and integrity. These guys have exactly that. I started using them last year after the dealership quoted me over 15 thousand dollars in repairs. They found some of the work didn’t need to be done and some work had been completely missed. I have 6 vehicles and they all go to CarDoc, I just wish they could service my motorbikes !!! Great team
Mark Mansfield
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
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
I have a fully restored classic 1979 Jeep CJ7 and have been very careful on who I want working on my Jeep. Thank God I found Car Doc in Venice. Not only are their mechanics excellent at what they do - they made me feel confident that I picked the right place to do any repairs on my Jeep! The manager, Stacy, is on the ball and has great communication and my Jeep was fixed right - the first time! I have since brought other cars there and they are outstanding. I highly recommend!
craig dolloff

Had a great experience here with a big car repair. They are very knowledgeable and clearly explained what needed fixing and the cost. Desiree and Stacy were super helpful and I especially appreciated the ride home!
Bree Tampa
I use them through AAA. Their communication was great. Everything went smooth and was done very quickly and we’ve had no issues since highly recommend.
Michael Longo

Kim Kammu
When you entrust your car to a shop for repair and maintenance, you want a mechanic who has a reputation of professional integrity. You expect the job to be done right. You also appreciate when assured that your car has been inspected and is safe to drive. The staff at Car Doc is friendly, knowledgeable, and very conscientious. They know that your peace of mind is essential and they do not take that responsibility lightly.
Marika Fries
Great staff. They inspect the vehicle and let you know what needs to be done. They care about the vehicle and what needs to be done. They are trustworthy, which is hard to find in this industry!
Aaron Smith
A great experience! Easy to schedule an appointment and the work was done on time and as quoted. Wonderful to find a local repair shop that can work on antique, air cooled Volkswagens. Stacy and Desiree were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! I have other vehicles that I have been bringing to dealerships for maintenance but will now bring to Car Doc.
Paul Burrows
Car Doc uncovered a major issue on our vehicle, and resolved and repaired the vehicle in 48 hours ahead of a family trip.
