Scott at Hitchcock Auto is amazing! I came in last minute & needed help with my car, he took it in upon arrival & was able to figure out the problem & fix the problem in less than an hour. Honest & reliable car shop! This is my go to!

Forgive me as it has been some time since I was there, but about a month ago I was getting ready to head over to Orlando for work training from Sarasota. I pulled out of my driveway and my power steering was gone. I immediately drove to the only auto repair shop I have been to since living out here and they were too busy to help me. I started to google shops around me and Hitchcock Automotive came up. I made my way over and they had space and time to help me out right away. Scott Sr. (I believe was his name) was super kind (which I usually find uncommon as a woman looking to get her car fixed) and he reassured me it was an easy fix. The ?o-ring? had completely broken a piece off and they got my car up and cleaned up and replaced the ring within 20-30 min. I expressed my thanks and asked how much I owed and he told me it was on them and not to worry about it. Believe me I was worried about it. I never know how much mechanics are going to charge me and I couldn?t believe he did all of that for free. It was probably an easy little fix for them, but it was a huge fix to my day and restored a part of my faith in kindness. Thank you guys seriously. You had no idea how helpful that was to me when I needed it. Many thanks and will be back for any future car troubles. I highly recommend making this your first stop with auto repairs. A trustworthy team, quality work, and a safe and clean space. 10/10 guys.

I was looking for a good auto repair shop for my Lexus when I found Hitchcock Automotive mentioned several times on Next Door. I called and brought my car in with a list of items that needed to be repaired and asked if they would give me an estimate. While I waited, they looked the car over , gave me a very good price on the repairs and offered to do the work that day or the next, based on my convenience. I am very happy with the work that was done on my car and quite impressed with the customer service of Hitchcock Automotive. What a great find! Just an update to my last review because I know people are always looking for a good auto mechanic. My husband and I have used Hitchcock Automotive several times now for my Lexus RX 350 and his Jeep and we are extremely happy with their service. Scott, the owner, is just great! He runs a very efficient shop where the work is done on time and in line with the estimate. We have never had to bring anything back for an adjustment. Scott explains what needs to be done and , just as importantly, what doesn?t need to be done. When we bring our cars in for service, we know that the work will be done correctly and that we will be treated in a professional and courteous manner.

I couldn't speak more highly of this family owned and operated shop! They were honest, reasonable, good people. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! I came in with a muffler issue, they could have looked at me and assumed they could make some good money off of me by telling me I needed an all new muffler installed. Instead they brought me into the garage showed me the exact problem along with their recommendation and were able to easily fix the problem with very little cost to me. Five stars ? Thank you for being one of the good ones!!

Scott and his team run a tight ship at Hitchcock Automotive. His Marine Corps roots shine through in the efficient and effective service he delivers. I have had many repairs for various vehicles done at the shop and all have been performed well and never needing a return to the shop. I find their pricing to be very competitive and, most importantly, they are good people who operate with honesty, integrity, and a high level of customer service.

Scott is a great guy and stands behind the work when something is not right. I have a temperamental Corvette and no one else could figure out the problem, but he did. Good job.

Richard Sanatana

I have been a client of Hitchcock auto repair for three years and we are absolutely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of their services. It?s a blessing to find a mechanic you can trust and Scott Hitchcock is that person!

William McKeever

I had previously had 4 new tires purchased and installed at Hitchcock Automotive Repair. At the time of new installation, I also paid for a road hazard policy to cover against tire damage caused by road debris and other hazards. While driving my wife ran over debris in the road which caused a puncture and complete failure of one of the tires. I spoke to Scott Hitchcock and informed him of the repair needed and I also told him that I was due for an oil change. As always with this great business all repairs were completed flawlessly. Even though this was an unplanned required repair, Scott was able to accommodate me and complete repairs in a very timely fashion. I have had more than a few automotive service companies over the years, but I wouldn't think of taking my car anywhere else. Service was fast, thorough, reasonably priced and perfectly completed. Thanks again.

Joseph Lonsdale

As always Scott and hot team delivers. Have been taking my vehicles to Hitchcock for awhile now. Great service and no nonsense either. They fix what you need.

This is my third time using Hitchcock Automotive. The mechanics have done an excellent job on my car for oil changes, a battery replacement and valve cover seal replacement. They text me when I am due for my next oil change. And they have loaner cars that are reliable for the services that take a few hours. I am glad I found a mechanic that is good quality and reliable!
