Sarasota European Auto Repair

Jesse is not only an incredible mechanic he also looks out for the well being of his clients. He is honest, upfront and trustworthy. He has worked on my vehicles for several years and would never even consider taking a vehicle anywhere else!

Finally, A Trustworthy Mechanic! I found Jesse after I purchased my much loved (and equally hated- BMW owners will understand), 2000 528i wagon. It seemed all she was waiting for was me, to have everything start breaking! A friend mentioned his wonderful mechanic- Jesse, and I was off to see him. He was very kind and attentive and was very honest about repairs that were necessary and those that could wait. This of course saved me money and put my mind at ease! When he has had my car for repair, it is always a very quick turn around for me to get it back. I have also been able to stop by unannounced and he has taken the time to help me. I feel very confident recommending Jesse to anyone looking for a great mechanic!

Visiting my 90 year old grandma in FL, we discovered her cars AC was blowing hot air. We found jesses place on yelp and went in at 505pm less than 1 hr before close in hopes we could get this foxed for her without delay. They immediately took us in and had the AC blowing at 48 degrees in less than 10mins for $40. Great customer service. Cheap. Friendly. Honest. Thank you!!

I did my research and found Jesses' Garage on google. I also had a mechanic reffered to me by coworkers. Trying to see my options and get a feel for both mechanics I went to both late Friday afternoon. Taking the advice of my coworkers first, I drove the distance and went to their mechanic. He stopped what he was doing to plug in the sensor and then told me I would need to drop my Taurus off another day to be diagnosed. So I then went to Jesses' expecting similar treatment. Boy was I wrong! At Jesses' he didn't recognize the codes but he immediately researched the problem. Once he saw what the codes were he not only knew what the issue was, but could fix the problem that night! In less than an hour my car was diagnosed, fixed, and paid for. My car is now running smoothly and for a really great price! I have already recommended him once since and will continue to every chance I get. Jesse is a great guy and an awesome mechanic.

Ladies, it is so difficult to find an honest mechanic that won't try to rip you off because you are a female and easy to prey upon. Well, you found the best in Sarasota County if you trust your foreign car to Jesse. Within the first few minutes I knew he would be the one mechanic I could trust and after a year my feelings have been justified over and over. He has never tried to get me to do things that are unnecessary and always suggests options that are good for my pocket book. My BMW is over 100,000 miles and runs like it’s new. Thanks Jesse for your expertise and honest dealings with me. I send all I know who are looking for a great mechanic to Jesses Garage.

Knowledgeable, honest and efficient. My experience at Jesse's Garage was first rate. I've already referred several friends and co-workers to him without hesitation.

After reading other reviews I stopped by Jesse's for an assessment of an idling problem with my older Landcruiser. Jesse diagnosed the problem and discussed solutions - the most optimal being a DIY fix - Jesse articulated how I could replace an idle system valve by myself, saving me at least a few hundred dollars. It is incredibly rare to find a mechanic who offers this sort of honesty and isn't simply looking for a means to make $$ off of his customers. Jesse lives up to the reviews, I highly recommend him.

Fixes it right the first time. Jesse has performed work for me on two BMW's, a Cadillac, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. My last visit was for a leaky heater core on the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was allowing coolant steam into the passenger cabin which is a health hazard. After examining the vehicle and knowing I did not want to spend a lot of money due to the mileage, he suggested we bypass the heater core all together. He told me what we needed and sent me down the street to Napa Auto Parts to get a hose. With less than $20 in parts, the vehicle was back on the road with no worries about coolant leaking into the cabin. Jesse is honest, dependable, and never pushy. He tells me what needs to be fixed on the car, what should be fixed on the car, and areas to keep an eye on. I highly recommend Jesses' Garage.

Very friendly, helpfull and honest. Would recommend the garage to anyone. Thanks

I'm new to the Sarasota area so had to do some research to find a good mechanic to work on my BMW Z4. I found the great reviews for Jesse on Google and Yelp, and his place was just 5 minutes from my house so it was convenient. I was especially relieved to see reviews by women who felt he was honest to work with and doesn't try to take advantage of our lack of knowledge about cars. I contacted him and he had me bring in the car the next morning. He opened the hood and looked in, and gave me his impression that an oil leak he encountered was probably the reason for my warning light coming on. I left the car and in a couple of days he found my brake pads were worn and he found another major problem with broken springs. He gave me the estimate on cost as well as when it would be completed. When I picked it up, he showed me all of the parts that had been replaced and I was pleased to see the car was not only clean, but he had someone clean my cloth seats which were in bad shape. I am very pleased with Jesse's work, the reasonable cost for the repairs, and the much better ride my car is offering now. I highly recommend him!
