Out of town for working the hurricane to help clean up, The cat skid steer I’m running the AC went out on it. They were able to help me recharge the system! Extremely helpful and kind!!! Most other auto shops wanted nothing to do with it!!!

Rip off

My number 1 choice of mechanics in Sarasota. I've been using the services at Car Tune Up for years. David and his crew are reliable and fair. They never try to sell me parts or services I don't need. If you can't work on your own vehicle and need the services of mechanics you can trust, I highly recommend Car Tune Up.

David and his work partner are great. Nice guys and quick to find the problem

Didn’t fix problem! Replaced parts that were old but not the culprit.

The AC in my 2012 Mini Cooper wasn’t working enough to cool my car, so when I saw their sign I gave them a call. David gave me a couple different options and helped me make an informed decision. Now I have plenty of cold air! I couldn’t be more happy!! David is the BEST!!!

This guy is a ripoff, he just charged me $660.07 for a starter on a 2016 Kia Soul! I priced the starter Amazon $84.90…js!

Dave did a great job with my vehicle. I brought in a g35 that was sitting for a while, he fixed 2 oil leaks and replaced my radiator. He was very communicative and addressed my concerns before he started the repair. Found my new mechanic!

David could not have been more kind and professional. The power steering in my car went out while vacationing in Siesta Key. I found Car Tune Up Car Care Center on Google Maps and brought my car in to hopefully be fixed. David and his team we able to pinpoint the issue and had my car back on the road later that afternoon. The price was very fair and I can’t thank them enough for their great service! I highly recommend!

I brought my car to them to have the air conditioner fixed. I told them I believe it was just the air conditioner clutch. They said everything was wrong and bad and I needed a complete AC system overhaul. The cost was over $2,000 end and then the owner offer to purchase my car for that amount. I brought the car home and fixed it for $50

I can't say enough about my experience here. What a blessing to have a man of honesty and integrity do work on your car. Dave's more than fair price of fixing my brake lines was such a gift for me. I highly recommend Dave's Car Tune Up Car Care Center! They go above and beyond. Thank you Dave!

I normally do my own work but sometimes you gotta admit when you've been beat! Had an issue that i just couldn't pin point (electrical) Brought it here and he nailed it as well as found another issue i was unaware of! He's fair on prices. He honestly could charge more for hus diagnostic work. Works on all makes. That's a big deal in the auto world! Great customer service and very professional!

I had a slow puncture on my rental car. I called by and the owner agreed to look at it straight away. The puncture was repaired and we were on our way in less than 30 minutes. Repair charge was very reasonable.

Feb 06, 2020

Paid $260 to get my A/C fixed, lasted a week! Then they wanted $1000 for a new compressor. Go somewhere else!

Feb 06, 2020

The owner has run the place for years. Honest and fair prices. Works on old cars and enjoys it.

Truly honest mechanic shop. While on vacation in Siesta Key, I brought my hybrid here because I smelled coolant burning, and inverter coolant was visibly low. David Desisto and team smelled the coolant, but they couldn't find a leak, and suspected I'd driven through something.They topped off the coolant, sent me on my way, and told me to come back if issue returns. They charged me $0. Wow. Wish I lived near this shop!

Autozone told me i needed an alternator. I went to car tune up. They said it was my battery, not alternator. I was in and out in an hour. My only complaint would be 10$ shop parts fee. For changing battery? 20$ labor o.k., my 125$ battery became 155$. But they're honest, fast, friendly. Long established repair shop. I'll go again

I always know the work will to be done right and the price is fair.

I wish I could give less than 1 star. I took my car to these guys because I'm having an issue with my A/C control. I've asked the boss if they can fix it, and he said "sure, we can fix anything". Obviously they couldn't fix the problem but broke one of the dashboard panels. If you're thinking to give them a chance believe me, you better avoid stress and try to find a real expert.

excellent service for any car prompt and friendly staff
