“Car notified me I was loosing tire pressure crossing over the bridge. Stopped and put some air in real quick and called these guys! It was 5:55 and they close at 6. I let Todd know that I was about 5 min out and he told me to come in by. I got there right at 6 and instead of just putting air in and letting me come back to tomorrow he went ahead and fixed my tire! I left at 6:20. You don’t find ppl going out of their way much these days and to say I appreciated his service today would be an understatement! Great service even when he could’ve just said we’re closed! Thanks so much Todd for being a stellar human today!”
“Thank you to Shawn and Willy for amazing amazing awesome job you guys are the best I recommend any and anyone for any of talks car services needs great customer service”
“Excellent service and extremely knowledgeable. We had a bad battery on a Saturday and in town for only a few days and Justin squeezed us in. He was fair and got us back on the road in less than an hour. Highly recommended. Thank you Justin. Donna and Keith”
“They did an excellent job diagnosing the overheating issue with our Mercedes. They kept in constant communication regarding the progress - one of the service managers, Mr. Tim Jordan, was absolutely awesome to work with. Quality work. Exceptional staff.”
“Very impressed with overall service. Chase was extremely helpful and got me right in. I went in thinking I needed a new battery after AutoZone told me mine was bad. Chase asked several questions and realized it was not my main battery but my auxiliary battery. I really appreciate him taking the time to diagnose the problem and not sell me something I didn’t need!”
“If you are in Destin on vacation and have car problems, do not worry about finding a reputable repair shop… This shop is super professional and did a great job for more than a fair price. My front breaks started giving problems about 200 miles into our 1300 mile journey to this heaven on earth (Destin). I hate going to repair shops in general, I get anxiety about getting ripped off even in my hometown. After reading reviews I decided to send my vehicle here and I’m glad I did. Not only was it good work at a fair price it was the cleanest repair shop I have ever been to. I wish they would open up a shop in NY”
“We do a yearly road trip from N. California to the FL Gulf Coast, and after the wonderful service we just had at Beach Technical Services, I wish you were located at every place we stop! This family run business is the best! The right rear fender guard of our Mazda CX5 had been torn off and repaired, torn off and replaced, and now torn off again-- the hazards of driving the I-10 cross country. We were well taken care of and the fender guard was securely put back on. Such polite and knowledgeable staff and very reasonable prices. Many thanks!”
“We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Tommy at Porsche. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel welcomed and truly listened to what we were looking for. His knowledge of the Porsche lineup was impressive, and he explained every detail with patience and clarity.
He kept the process smooth and stress free, answered all of our questions and helped us find the right car! We not only bought an incredible car, we left feeling like we were valued customers. If you’re considering a Porsche, I highly recommend working with Tommy - you won’t be disappointed!”
“My 1st time visit was great. The workers helped me with an oil change, put air in my tires, and changed filters. One even tried to help me set my car to notify me when I needed my next service.”
“I called Tye to ask about a Pre-purchase inspection (PPI) after seeing a previous customer’s positive review. He explained the process, and the pricing, and answered a couple of questions I had. Within a few minutes he was able to check his schedule and we agreed on a date time.
When he arrived, he got right to work while asking me if there was anything specific I might be worried about.
He went through the diagnostic results and gave me some information about what it might be (kind of like the minimum issue that could cause that fault, vs closer to a worst case scenario) just for general information, which was very helpful because it gives you an idea of what you might really be getting into.
After that, he started giving the engine a look, and the information he provided with “what’s what” and “why is why” was an absolute difference maker. He was very thorough and he explained everything in very simple ways.
I’m absolutely grateful that he was able to help us out. If you’re in the market for any car at any point, I STRONGLY recommend having Tye inspect the car- It’s more than worth it.”

“I was traveling here from Northern Alabama and had a lot of vibration at highway speeds. I was able to make an appointment online which I appreciated. The gentleman at the counter, Ron I believe, was friendly and kept me thoroughly informed about the progress throughout. They were very thorough and I am happy to say the service provided was excellent! No more vibration!! Highly recommend.”
“Sammy, the owner really cares about helping others. You get a feeling like it's not just good business to him, but a way of life. He came to me when my car wouldn't start and fixed the problem quickly and at a great price. He didn't "find" expensive problems like some mechanics will do. He's Great!”
“Evo is fantastic. He is an encyclopedia of automotive knowledge. Not only that, he is fair in his prices and cares about his customer and quality of work. Highly recommended!”
“We have used the facility several times mainly for the lifts. Help is available if you need it and basic tool sets as well. We always do our own work but there are some services available for those too intimidated to work on their own vehicles.”

“Unbelievable service! Someone ran to another store to get the tire I needed. We were in an out in 1.5 hours and that was amazing since we were vacationing and needed to get on the road. Highly recommend!”
“I was vacationing in Destin and this shop with Paul and Tony took care of me like a local. I would not hesitate to bring a vehicle here, as I believe they are a fair and honest shop which is very difficult in today’s world of “ get all you can”. Thank you Destin Imports!”
“They are kind folks who are better priced than others. Jeff is a great guy. Sadly my vehicle was not something they could do however they did try and helped me out with it.”
“Chuck was very awesome great customer service and great prices, took great care of my Escalade in short notice, squeezed me right into his already busy schedule and without asking took out some other small door dings. Going to bring my other truck up to see him and have a few other friends that are going to come see him.

“Mike is helpful, honest, and knows what he is doing. While camping in Santa Rosa Beach, our SuperDuty truck “check engine” light came on. We asked the Advance Auto representative who we should go to for repairs and, without hesitation, he said “Mike’s on Goldsby Road.” Mike has a great reputation and it is well-earned. We were in desperate shape as it was late in the day and we needed to start home the next day to avoid winter weather and needed to tow our camping trailer. We arrived at Mike’s shop at the end of the day but Mike made time for us. Mike diagnosed the problem within 5 minutes, ordered a part, had it delivered, and installed it. Then, he charged us a fair price. He gave us great tips on some additional things we might want to check when we get home so we can keep our truck in great shape. He was such a good mechanic, we plan to schedule time with him for a tune-up our next visit to the FL panhandle.”
“Thank you! This was a very professional and friendly experience. Everything was done efficiently, and D’luxe has an awesome selection of cars. Very clean and wonderful. We highly recommend.”
“Ray is an artist and a gentleman. He ably delivered on the repairs for our SUV, at a significant discount compared to the big collision shops, with quality work delivered on time. Pleasure to do business with him (inasmuch as I hope I don’t need to, but if I need to again, I will do so without hesitation!). Thanks, Ray!”
“Excellent auto service team. Fair, honest mechanics. I never question their advice or repair estimate. When you find a trustworthy auto mechanic, stick with them. AA Auto is the best.”
“GVS is about to complete a total renovation and replacement of all the windows at the 200 West Condominium in Fort Walton Beach. This is a project that has taken over one year to complete. The technicians from GVS have been here from the beginning, and not only have they always been friendly and personable, but have provided quality workmanship and are directly responsible for the beautiful new look at 200 West.In particular, many thanks to Kenny, Richard, and the rest of their GVS team for the awesome work they have done; they are some of the finest, most professionals around! This is a go to company!Service: General repairs & maintenance”
“My house is 20 years old and I knew a few of my windows needed to be replaced. I was not sure if the rest of my windows were good or I needed to have all of them replaced due to age. They inspected every window and made sure they are all in good working order. Once the new windows arrived, the install crew was extremely courteous and efficient. They made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. I highly recommend them for any of your glass needs!”
“I noticed that I had not given a review on this great shop. I am a fairly new widow, and I was having issues of being stranded by my Toyota Prius Hybrid. I had noticed this place as I passed it on a regular basis. I didn't want to go to the dealership because I knew they would charge me an arm and a leg. I thought I had a better chance in a small shop that dealt with foreign cars. I was lucky that this shop was not far from home either. After being stranded the last time, and being a woman of the age I am, plus I thought I had a good idea what the problem was, that I needed to get it fixed asap.. So on one of it's "good" days, I took it in to have a diagnostics run to find out if my hunch was correct. Low and behold I was. I had priced the hybrid batteries, and knew what I was potentially looking at cost wise. That is what he quoted me. I was happly surprised I wasn't taken to the cleaners. It was fixed the same day and I was back on the road. When I got the invoice I saw the shop name and remembered that my late husband had used then several times in the past. He raved about them. Now, I too, sing there accolades. They are fast, efficient, reasonable, helpful, and very friendly. I highly recommend them for your service needs.”
“I had a big fix. He got to my car fast and fixed it just as quick. Price was affordable and customer service was great. Made a repeat customer for sure but hopefully not soon ?”
“We were on spring break in Destin and needed an alignment. Checked other places with no luck. Called Goodyear and got my van right in to be looked at that morning. M They completed my alignment and installed new wipers quick and we were back to our vacation. Thank you!”
“Stopped by for replacement windshield wiper blades while on vacation. One of the owners helped us find the correct sizes and showed us how to swap out the blades. We didn’t get her name but she was so kind and personable and friendly. We had a great experience!”
“Our family has had our golf cart stored at Ecco Motors on Professional Plaza in Miramar Beach for close to 10 years now. We have always had great service from a staff that is eager to help and please. But recently it has been different…. in a great way.
Tish Cowley has joined the team, moving from another Ecco location. And Tish is WONDERFUL! I have spoken with her several times and each time, she not only helps with our needs but she finds a way to go above and beyond. And her dedication to improving any an everything she can at her new location, comes through loud and clear as you talk with her. She is the exact kind of person you want on the other end of the phone when you have a need or concern.
Thank you Ecco Motors for your service to us and thank you Tish, for making it all even better!
The Thomas Family”
