Sarasota European Auto Repair

Grateful to have an honest mechanic in Sarasota. Found the problem with my car and fixed it. He is very knowledgeable.

I'm a BMW enthusiast and own a few Bmw M cars. Since I moved to Florida 11 years ago I went to multiple shops in Sarasota incl the Bmw dealership but none of them were as good as Jesses garage. He is very honest and won't try to rip you of by telling you false things. I can definitely trust him with my cars.For example the dealership tried to charge me 3500$ for a job that took Jesses garage Gare 650 $ to fix. A BIG THX TO JESSE

We just bought a "new" used car (Honda Civic 2015), only to discover some damage underneath. We were very concerned that we had made a poor purchase decision. Jesse put the car up on the lift and showed us what had been damaged, but reassured us no serious damage had occured to the car. He also analyzed a road noise issue we noticed and made recommendations regarding tires, but did not push a hard sell - instead he encouraged us to investigate other local vendors for the best deal, should we so choose. He declined to accept payment for examining our car and consulting with us. We could tell instantly that he is a man of good character. We look forward to working with you to maintain our new "baby". Thank you Jesse!

Greetings all, sharing my experience for your benefit. Last week my 2003 BMW 530i told me we were low on coolant, topped her off and the next time I took her out she asked for more. A quick survey under the bonnet and the imbroglio was manifest, leaked coolant coming from the side of the radiator. The situation was dire. I called Jesse the following day half an hour prior to shop hours and lo and behold Jesse answers. A brief description of my situation and Jesse says let's get it in the shop and he'd pressure test the system and if needed get the radiator. Long story short, same morning dropped my car, it was a Friday. Returned to collect my car complete with new radiator for the price expected at 430pm the same day. Outstanding service from knowledgeable professionals. I chose Jesse's based on reviews, I hope mine helps you make the sagacious choice, Jesse's.

Jesses' Garage is the place to get all your work done. When I thought I had a major expense it turned out to be something minor. A pleasant change from what I had experienced all over town. They treat you right and get the work done when they say they will. Thanks Jesse!

I had a great experience at Jesse's. After losing trust in the Infiniti service department in Sarasota a friend suggested that I try Jesse's Garage . I'm totally satisfied with the service that I received and have no intention of taking my car anywhere else !

If you have a BMW and don't know Jesse - you should!!! I cannot say enough about the service and professionalism that has been extended to me each and every time I take my car in! Whether it's routine service or a complicated repair - I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. I just recently had a radiator hose burst while I was driving - I called Jesse and he told me what to do to get my car safely to the garage -- who does that? Jesse!!!! My fellow BMW drivers - do yourself a favor and get to know this gentleman (and Dimitri)!!

Had an oil change and a paint touch up for some body damage. After the oil change Jesse found that the BMW dealer I visited 2 days earlier hadn't checked the tire pressure or the washer fluid- and probably other levels, too. The tires were 4 pounds low and Jesse discovered and fixed this issue after he did his vehicle inspection prior to returning my car. My car was returned clean and I will continue to use Jesse with confidence for my future repair and maintenance needs.

Had some issues with my 335i misfiring and took it in, He found the problem and had it fixed next day for pick up. Definitely will be going back for anymore issues down the road

So honestly, how many times should it take to change one's behavior? In this case I am talking about continuing to return to your car brand's local dealer to receive crazy stupid, overpriced service. I must admit that it has taken me longer than the average monkey to realize that it was time to find a reliable garage that could repair my vehicle without being abused by expensive and indifferent service. I have come to understand that the astute Porsche engineers did not consider Florida temperatures when they chose to use adhesives that fail in the higher temperatures that are common to the area. After receiving an estimate that it would cost $1,000 to repair the driver's seat back that came apart, I decided that it was time find another garage. Yelp led me to Jesse and he quickly assessed the problem and agreed to try to repair the seat. Unfortunately, the adhesive and clips he used were not up to the heat and the seat failed again. Jesse stood by his work, obtained a replacement Porsche seat back and installed it for no additional labor charge. All told, the charge came in at almost half the dealer's estimate and I have a new and reliable garage in the process.
