Didn't reconnect a hose properly. Couldn't see me for over a week and a half. Wild

Left my car worse than when I took it to the shop. Originally went in for a window not rolling down, after 4/5 visits and almost 2,000$ later I have two windows stuck down and one that doesint work. Do not take your car here!

I have recommended this shop to many people over the years and have never used them myself until today, very impressed. Everything was handled in a very timely and friendly manner. A half dozen or so of my neighbors were right

Great service. Fixed my newer car and my old pickup.

Yo fui ahi,,,,, mi AC de mi nissan altima no tiraba aire frío, y ellos me resolvieron el problema, quede satisfecho con el sevicio gracias 👍

Don’t bring your car here for a basic oil change. Charged me almost $300 for a $40 oil change. This place has gone to hell. Do Nott’s go to Notts. place is awful in so many ways. Please don’t respond. You’ve already stolen my money. No need to hear your “synthetic” spew. By the way, I did not approve synthetic at $300

Great service great mechanics

Unfortunately this place used to be great. I was charged for repair plus leak $1400,00 .I got my car back and found drops of oil on the floor. I took it back and they charged me $680 for the EGR valve to fix the leak. the next morning the car was still leaking.the guy explained, i quote:"when we seal any leak there will be a weak point and ends up leaking."" Very good pretex to keep you paying money .what a vicious circle !!! They dont fix the problem but charge you thousands of $$$$.... if you're nice they'll think you are an idiot and take advantage of you......


Feb 07, 2024

Callled in about a break question. They were very knowledgeable, and instead of trying to sell me something I didn’t need give me advice over the phone!


Feb 07, 2024

Don’t bring your car to Notts automotive. They charged me $800 to change an ignition coil and oil change. Run away.


Feb 07, 2024

Great place to bring your vehicle! We’ve taken our 4Runner to Nott’s Automotive a couple of times over the last 2 years and have always received great work along with amazing customer service. If you’re looking for a mechanic you can trust, Trey and his team should definitely be at the top of your list.


Feb 07, 2024

Great shop for import or domestic vehicles. Always fast and affordable


Feb 07, 2024

I feel they are very trustworthy. They take a video and show you everything that is wrong with what is a priority to fix.


Feb 07, 2024

Notts is easy to work with and are very professional. And never have had a bad experience.


Feb 07, 2024

Steve was very nice and understanding, start to finish. Though the problem was way too much to fix, he was more reasonable then others. They were amazing and I highly recommend them to anybody! 🙂 You can totally trust what they have to say.


Feb 07, 2024

This is one of the only shops in Sarasota fl I would definitely recommend for all of your full service needs. This is not your run ,of the mill shop . They are professional, friendly, transparent, and decently priced. If I had to sum it up in just a few words, you will leave this place feeling absolutely confident in their work .


Feb 07, 2024

Trey and Jennifer have always taken great care of our vehicles when we brought them in and at a fair price. Definitely a shop you can trust. Recommend them all the time.


Feb 07, 2023

Good service always.

I had a referral from my friend’s networking group to use Nott’s Automotive. Such referrals are tracked and treated very seriously as part of the paid-membership networking group so I was very pleased. I called the shop to see if they could work on my ‘99 Volvo - not everybody has the old computer & tools to work on those cars anymore. Steve, in the phone, confirmed that he could service the car but that it was 1.5 weeks to get an appointment. No problem. I told him I would call back when ready to schedule. I emailed the owner, Jennifer Nott, in order to satisfy the requirements of the referral process. Turns out Steve, the service guy, answers her email - and comments sarcastically about having spoken to me on the phone prior. Nice, he seems chaffed. Maybe it’s just me, but when I called the wait was ten days and now it’s 4. Anyway, I took in the car and was very nice, explaining the serious oil leak. He begrudgingly writes up a service ticket and takes the car. Later that day they send me a video of the estimate and problem. It’s $1632 and they don’t have the tool. It’ll be four days and Steve insults me about my car because it has been sitting 4 months (although I cleaned it up well). A week later, they still don’t have the right tools so I picked up the car to get it back. Steve decides to charge me $60 for diagnostics I never authorized (half hour of work) to spite me. On the phone he had told me there was no charge. I am sooo glad they are not working on my car. My friend asked to speak to Jennifer, the owner, and Steve laughed, commenting “she is never around here.” So they extorted $60 with no work. Total jerks. Nott’s Automotive did get a review out of it.

I was traveling back to Tennessee after helping a relative in Englewood with storm damage. My car nearly stalled on the highway. Notts got me in and out right away. They could have taken me to the cleaners but they didn’t! $184 dollars later, I was back on the road. Thank you for being honest folks that truly want to help the customer!!


Feb 07, 2023

Nothing worse than a flat tire (slow leak with metal in the tire) on a Monday morning, and I use my truck for my living….Tray the owner was nice enough to see me first thing despite it being early Monday morning and low staffing like everywhere….He was able to quickly find the issue . The shop doesn’t do new tires (it’s a repair and BG Products maintenance shop) however he made a phone call up the road to Goodyear where they actually had my tire, he did not have to do that …EXCELLENT SERVICE TRAY!!!


Feb 07, 2023

Only place I would take my car great service excellent people


Feb 07, 2022

Awesome service, car runs like new. Honest, friendly, reasonable prices. I will go here every time I need my car fixed!


Feb 07, 2022

Great diagnosing skills by Ray.


Feb 07, 2022

Great experience. Called them Monday morning, they were able to take my car on the same day and did a wonderful job. Really like the video they sent me with all the details of what was wrong. Easy and straightforward communication, clean and efficient job. 100% recommended.


Feb 07, 2022

Great place if you can get an appointment! They are always busy but do great work!


Feb 07, 2022

I have to thank the technicians at Nott's automotive, they provided a very detailed diagnosis of my vehicles issues that included an HD video walkthrough of their analysis. The price for their labor was reasonable and they had my car up and running better than ever within 24 hours. Their repairs have even helped with my vehicles fuel economy


Feb 07, 2022

I was looking for someone to flash an ECU with a different VIN. Google show them as doing ECU programming which is the same as flashing oh, and their website says they do it. So I called them to find out the cost. I was told that they do not do it but rather use a third-party company. False advertising. Not a good way to start a relationship but oh wait they're not going to have one with me


Feb 07, 2022

Nice people. I was shocked to pay more for the wipers (3) verses oil change!


Feb 07, 2022

This was my first time at Nott's and they are great! I just needed a battery for my key fob. I didn't even have an appointment & they quickly changed the battery in just a few minutes! I will definitely use them again!


Feb 07, 2021

As a new resident of Sarasota I am very pleased to have found Nott's Automotive to service my Volvo wagon. They are professional, honest, knowledgeable and fair. Trey and Jennifer provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend them. John M
