You Don't Have to Take Our Word for It!
Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Car Doc On The Island:
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
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.

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!!
Victoria Dietz
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
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
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
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
Best service around. I have been usuing them for over 6 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
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
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)
Just found this business. My Mini had bad fuel pump. I needed a tire replacement and got oil change. Stacy is a wonderful person. She explained everything perfectly and treated me with the best service. They now have a lifetime customer.
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!
Bonnie H.
Had my o2 sensor replaced, done quickly and had my truck back the next day. Best customer service I've seen at an auto shop, definitely would recommend to anybody in the area.
Stephen Akers
This place is AMAZING!!! They picked up my car and did all my services while I was at work, and dropped it back off!!!
Courtney Gherardini
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.

Stacy Morton
Wonderful, thorough service and helpful in every way! I'm coming back!
Donna Jewett
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!

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!

Mike and his crew of top notch mechanics and office staff are the best in Venice. Friendly, courteous and meticulous every time I go there. I?ve been a client for almost 20 years.

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)

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!
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

CraigT McPhee
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
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
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
Excellent same day service! Always a pleasure doing business at this establishment! Affordable quality work! Thank you -Adam

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
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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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!

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.
Kurt Kornfield
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.
lYNN Tompkins

Michael Reczek
I was very pleased with my service at CarDoc. They really care about you and your vehicle and treat it as if it was their own. Highly recommend. Very nice people.
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.

Steve Baran
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.

SARAD RETAIL
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
