Sarasota European Auto Repair

We had extensive work done on our Porsche Boxster. I found the service to be thorough and profession. Although the total bill was substantial, this was because of the amount of work that was needed and was significantly less than what a dealership would charge. I would highly recommend Jesses' Garage for anyone needing service on a German made car.

Prices are same as BMW dealership.

Great Shop!!!!

(Translated by Google) He sings me I recommend it is a good workshop and has everything (Original) Me canta se lo recomiendo es un buen taller y tiene de todo

Unfortunately we got fooled by his good reviews and got totally ripped off. Went there with my VW T4 Eurovan with the A/C not working. After a $100 diagnostic charge he told us the mechanics on the upper east coast, where we are from, don't know how to fix air condition. But he knows. He swapped the two cooling fan resistors and charged me over $400. The parts are (plug & play) and cost around $40. When I picked up the car the a/c still did not blow any cooler then before but he said press the auto button twice, something silly like that and we are good to go. We had to leave town to drive back to MA and of course the a/c did not work. Back home I went to my mechanic and after 10min he said that the compressor failed. Since we just had that one installed less than a year ago we got a new one under warranty and guess what Jesse it's working as it should now. I am really bothered by this experience as Jesse comes across really nice and knowledgeable but in a cocky way told us he is better than other mechanics but did not live up to it. After we called him about it he was very argumentative. Checking the compressor should have been his first check and he should have owned his mistake. Needless to say but my recommendation is stay away from him and his shop.

Jesse is great! I can be a difficult customer, I hate putting money into my Mercedes. Jesse is always very patient and honest with me, he tells me what I need to have done and gets it done for a great price. Thank you Jesse!!!

I took my bmw e38 to him a few times about 11 years ago when Jesse was in a little garage and he was on point with every fix and 100 helpful. he is the real deal. I haven't been back since I sold my bmw but I will be returning with my Audi a4 soon

Beyond Excellent! I called Jesse on a Monday morning to do a pre-purchase inspection on a 1990 Land Rover Defender. I live in Oregon and needed an expert to check out the car for me, based on the reviews I knew Jesse was my guy. Even being a completely booked Monday, they were able to squeeze my job in. Jesse gave the car an incredibly detailed inspection and test drive. In addition, he was able to document each checkpoint through an online app and include photos of ever corner of the truck and problem areas. He is super knowledgable with speciality/vintage cars and just an overall nice guy. I felt confident enough to make the purchase, from over 3000 miles away, thanks to Jesse.
