“Always very friendly and professional ! Greatly appreciate all that the team does ◡̈ They make car troubles less stressful and get the job done ! Will always rely on this shop for car maintenance/repairs”
“We rely on Hobson's to deliver honest, trustworthy, and competent service! They never disappoint. Price feels a bit higher than others with whom we work in WI but their quality and timliness is good and they resolve our issues in one visit. Friendly counter staff also.”
“So amazingly impressed with this service shop! They got me in quickly, looked at my car hooked it up to machines took it on a test drive then took me driving on a test drive to double check things. DID NOT Charge me anything for all of this diagnosing work! DID NOT Recommend replacing my transmission Or immediately jumping to costly repairs that may not be necessary and said that possibly just doing maintenance on it would do the trick checked everything out thoroughly told me to drive it carefully for 500 miles and hopefully all is well! I waited for my car as they have a nice quiet, waiting area, offering free beverages, and did my homework, in the company of their wonderful adopted cat, who was feral and adopted them as much as they adopted her. They knew almost every customer who came in by name And just seem like a genuinely caring, knowledgeable, and hard-working Center! So very happy I found them! Recommend them highly!”
“My wife and I live right down the street had issues with our Dodge caravan cooling system replace the water pump in oil cooling pump was very pleased on a prompt and quick work I would definitely recommend to a friend and I would definitely take our van back if we had any other problems thank you rapido for helping us out”
“The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly and the quality of the work itself was very professional these guys are great I would recommend them to anybody”
“Honest. And real mechanics. Can't go wrong. Been dealing with them for years. I have an older truck in the 90s. That they treat like a Ferrari. Thank you.had my truck in for some mild repairs and a tune up. As usual runs great and very happy. Thank you.”
“Just left here. I never leave reviews but I just felt like I had to leave a good review for these guys. Prob some of the best customer service Ive ever experienced. Always have came here. Just bought a new dodge ram. I have free oil changes from the dealership but I prefer to spend the money with these guys. Extremely polite, Explain everything in detail and never try to sell me stuff I don’t need. Customer service is everything to me. Hope you guys see this review. I appreciate yall.”
“The service provided was excellent, and the staff demonstrated professionalism and friendliness throughout my visit. Their pricing accurately reflects the quality of the parts used, as they are affiliated with NAPA Auto Parts. NAPA (National Automotive Parts Association) is recognized for supplying components that meet or exceed OEM standards, ensuring reliability and performance. The appointment process was smooth, and my vehicle service was completed efficiently within an hour. I highly recommend their shop for dependable, high-quality automotive care.”
“Take 5 guys on Park in Seminole are always kind, professional and informative. On the last visit the internet was down so payment was not possible. They informed all of us waiting and gave updates as they received them.”
“I brought my vehicle in because I felt a noticeable brake pressure almost as if my fluid needed a flush. The tech drove my jeep around the block for a test drive and quickly visually inspected the brakes. He everything was fine. He mentioned he’d love to accept my money, but only wanted to do so honestly. He recommended a local jeep specific repair shop if I really felt it needed a second look. Honesty and good work is all a customer ask for. I can’t rate the work, but I can rate their integrity. Kudos Big John’s!”
“Tom and the team at Potter’s Precision Imports are great! Honest, fair pricing, and top-notch service. They work well together and take pride in what they do. Highly recommend!”
“Great staff, honest recommendations, had my Truck and SUV serviced over the last 2 weeks. I am confident they will keep both in great condition with maintenance and repair work.
Now August, had headlamps installed, poorly adjusted, returned to inform them lights need adjustment, they returned vehicle, they werent safely adjusted ill say.
Spent $189.00 at dealer in Georgia, now they are fine. Im going into today to see what their answer is for my issue.
Returned to explain concerns, after vacation I said I will bring in truck, which I still feel there is an issue with lights. When I showed charges paid for dealer adjustment, “ What do you want us to do?” I replied, “ We will figure it out , when I return”. Honestly, I expect to be reimbursed, and a replacement light assembly installed. Lets see what happens. I will be returning 9/12/24.
I changed stars to 4, and will adjust after the resolving of the issues.”
“This place is great!! I was recommended by a friend and have been here only twice so far as my car was under warranty until recently. I went in today because the plastic cover under my car fell down. I was sure I cracked it, as I had to drive a long way dragging it, and would need to pay significant money to replace it. But John was able to work me in AND fix the cover. BEST of all he did it at NO charge! They have as a customer for life now and I would recommend them to anyone!!”

“Had a minor issue with my car so I came in and one of the guys there fixed it right away. They didn’t charge me anything as well which was really nice of them. Would recommend :)”
“I've been there a few times. This time I'm not sure they check any other fluids, air filter windshield blades. Washed half the windshield and didn't bother to reset the oil light on the dashboard. Don't know if it's worth trying again or just find somewhere else”
“Took my Jeep to them for a break job. They replaced the all four pads and rotors in a few hours. John gave me constant updates on what was going on. And the price was more than reasonable. They will be getting all of my business and referrals from now on.”
“After going to a few shops no one was as down to earth and as knowledgeable as the gentleman that worked on my cars fluids today! Quick, efficient, GOOD PRICES, and very friendly!”
“My husband and I came in to just take a look at a vehicle he had seen on the website. Christine Glass came over to ask us if we needed any help and she told us the details about the vehicle and we took a test drive. I’ve never had a good experience so we were not expecting to get a vehicle the same day but this is exactly what we were looking for. The care Christine and the whole team gave us while we were getting the finance information was phenomenal. She even took us on a tour of the new facility. We will be doing business with them again for the next vehicle.”
“These guys are professional, kind, informative and fast! They dont make you feel uncomfortable or pressured by upselling you, but they still do their due diligence by making recommendations based on their routine diagnostics they do. Thanks guys!”
“I just bought my car from a private owner and took it in for an oil change. The gentlemen helping me found that the oil plug was completely filled with gunk. He cleaned that up for me and also found that the radiator/ coolant had never been serviced. This car is 16 years old!!! He was able to help me find coupons through the Take5 website that allowed me to have every thing I needed serviced with out breaking the bank. i am sending my entire family to the Take 5 on 38th Ave and 66th Street North in Saint Petersburg, FL!! Thank you Sir for your amazing help!!”
“Came here after being scammed at Firestone, had a nail in my tire completely unpatchable, came in and was attended within 5-10 minutes of arriving (due to appearance of working in other cars) with quick turn around for complete brand new tire replacement. Whole transaction was probably under 20-30 minutes.
$70 cheaper than what Firestone quoted
Accepted Apple Pay”
“The Irish guy who i work with recommended going to Mike for my car repairs and he was right Mike was great and with very fair prices i will definitely recommend A1 auto repair to my friends.”
“Great service! This was my first time and I was genuinely pleased how fast and kind the attendants were. RC was very patient in explaining things to me and overall warm in demeanor. Dakota also serviced my car at the end and went out of his way to help me figure out what kind of paint I would need. You can tell there's great management in how welcoming and happy the workers are. I will def be back!”
“If you don't want to wait all day for an oil change, this is one of the places to go. Like most places these days, was a bit pricey, but they do except coupons. Keep in mind if you want a regular oil change; they will give you a regular oil change. If you want the synthetic oil change; they will do that too. Expect the Technicians to up-sell on other items that your car may need. Remember the final decision on that is your; of course.”
“Everyone was super helpful with my car!! I had my starter switched out and my crankshaft sensor. They did it in one day and the price was reasonable!! They even fixed this weird noise I didn’t mention. So helpful. My new mechanic!”
