Sarasota European Auto Repair

Here's why it is great to deal with Jesse and his team, based on my experience: First: he calls, leaves messages, and will even text you a picture of a part that is in such bad shape, you understand why your car broke down. Second: he tells you up front what the problem is, and provides a quote, Third: he shows you the parts they took out of car and explains why they were replaced Fourth: he follows up to see how the car is working to make sure it is fine Fifth: the shop is clean Sixth: but should actually be first: he genuinely cares about your car and your satisfaction.

Always the best workmanship and honestly in town! Glad to have them as my mechanic's and friends!

I went to Jesse's after I took it upon myself to add freon in my car ... We added to much freon and my AC only blew warm air. Jesse was very honest w/ me. He told me he had to do as all mechanics do a process of elimination ... At the moment we didn't know if that was the issue. He let me know that there was no guarantee if that would be it. And also googled for me the cost of a part to the air compressor vs. replacing the entire thing which about $600 dollars. I did have to much freon, he did drain it out put new in and it works great again. I know VW would of just said I needed a new air compressor. I will be going to Jesse for now on for any work I need done on my car and do have a scheduled visit w/ him as he ran diagnostics as well and I need (which I have needed for some time) a air sensor. When your a single female you need a honest mechanic and one that is not going to over charge you. He def has my business and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jesse!!

We are so grateful that we found Jesse and Dimitri. We had a problem with our BMW X3 and had taken it to another mechanic who told us we needed to replace the engine!! A friend told us about Jesses Garage and we had it towed right over there that day. Thank god we did. Jesse found the problem right away and it only cost us $600 to repair instead of thousands of dollars. Apparently the other mechanic had no idea what he was doing or he was trying to cheat us. It is so hard to find a skilled and trustworthy BMW mechanic in Sarasota, but we have finally found one. I will be reccomending @jessesgarage to all my friends who drive european cars. Fair prices, great service and a really nice guy.

I can't say enough good things about these guys. They've worked on my wifes Lexus, which has over 200,000 miles, several times & they're always honest, fair & timely. They also service my work trucks & they know what they're doing. I've referred my friends several times and I always hear good things about them. Franky is the owner, you can really trust him.

There is not a more knowledgeable mechanic around. Add that to his reasonable prices and dedication to his work and you can't do any better. In addition as a bonus he's personable and fun to hang out with to learn about your car. Jesse's dedication to automobiles stems from the love of the rally sport and his love of automobiles in general. He brings that to his work on your car as well as his own. He is a real find in Sarasota.

Jesse's Garage is the ONLY shop I go to. Simply the best!

I have been taking my cars to Jesse for years and wouldn't trust anyone else to do the best possible job at the best possible price. Where others will rip you off...Jesse will not. Let's be honest, we take our vehicles to mechanics because we do not have the skills, tools, or abilities to do it ourselves. As such, we are ripe to be plucked of all our cash. You need a new "whatever"...that's going to be $1000...and we are shocked BUT WE PAY IT. Here is a most recent example for me. I went to dinner and came out and my truck was sputtering...I couldn't drive it home for fear I would stall. Of course, I call Jesse. He had two weeks of work on his plate but he tells me to bring it in. I do. After taking a look, Jesse recommends replacing all of my coils (we had already had a problem with one). This is going to likely be a $600-$800 fix. I need my truck so I say go for it. The next day Jesse calls me and says that it was just a small amount of water that had gotten on my spark plug and new coils are not needed. I go in and all he asks for is $40. $40 DOLLARS PEOPLE! From $800 to $40!!. Do you think any other mechanic would do that? No way! I would not have known any better but that is just not the way Jesse is. He is an honest and good man...and a great mechanic. I will always recommend Jesse and anyone who works for him. Thanks Jesse...you're the man!

Very nice guy who I was hoping to be my go-to mechanic. After complications installing a new clutch into my rust-free, well-kept Alfa Romeo from California, he told me that he would no longer work on Alfa Romeos and that I would have to go elsewhere for service. Kind of a head-scratcher, but again, an extremely personable and ethical guy in my experience.

No doubt about it this guy knows what he is doing. Easy guy to deal with and talk to. Once you go Jessie , no turning back to another mechanic. Thank you Jessie.
