My car stopped working during the coldest day of the year. I called Chris and he diagnosed my issue over the phone! Got my car working, and brought it in to him. He then just tightened the cables to the battery and didn't even charge me for it. Im coming back here for ALL of my car needs! Thanks Chris!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! They got me in quick and worked on my modified car with a JDM engine swap. I have had so much trouble finding someone to work on a lowered car and they had no issues with it at all. Very knowledgeable and I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Chris Tortora has been extremely helpful in diagnosing and fixing two issues with my Audi Q5. He is professional, transparent and meticulous in his work and record keeping. I trust his knowledge and expertise and appreciate that he offers options (when available) for approaching solutions. I have been completely satisfied doing business with Swansonâs.

Extremely impressed with Swanson's. The shop was clean and very well organized. Chris was honest (only fixed what was necessary) friendly, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will definitely be bringing my car back in the future. December 2024 Update: Over the past few months, Iâve brought my 12-year-old VW to Swanson's for major repairs, including the timing chain and cooling system. Chris consistently goes above and beyond with his honesty, clear explanations, and professionalism to deliver a positive customer experience. I won't take my car anywhere else.

I had a great experience at Swanson's. I needed my headlight replaced and they got me in after I was off work and replaced the light in literally 10 minutes. Chris was very kind and honest, which is rare to find at a mechanic shop. If I have any other car troubles, I will no doubt be coming back here. Highly recommend!

Best auto service shop anywhere. Fair, honest, friendly, and expert. You will not find a better auto-service experience anywhere. Highly recommended. I'd give 10 stars if that was an option.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Chris. It is so hard to find honest, reliable people in Florida when it comes to having anything fixed. He is the best I have found in 6 years. I will be taking all of my vehicles to him from now on. In fact, I already made plans to take my mustang in for some work. I canât say enough good things, he was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. All in all, Honest, Reliable and Fair Pricing. You canât beat it. I will be telling everyone I know. Thank you again so much.

Iâve used Chris and the Swanson team multiple times now for multiple of my cars. He is always honest, trustworthy and does not over sell. Iâve used so many shops in the area over the years and Swansonâs is the only one we use for all our cars going forward.

I dropped my car off because it had its oil filter hit by a manhole, in almost less than a day he had it checked up on and ready to be back in my hands in much better condition. Chris is who helped me, he was amazing

The people here are super nice, repaired my car from figity and jolting driving to smooth and comfortable. They also found things wrong with my car I didn't even know about! Gave me tips on how to maintain my car in good condition without a price and overall made my car work 1000% better

I recently purchased a 95 Mitsubishi FTO (from Japan) and I not only left the shop with an oil change but also a wealth of knowledge about the car as well as near and future plans for maintenance and enhancements! Thank you Chris T.!

Chris did some routine maintenance on our older BMW at a very reasonable cost. He then found some diagnostic trouble codes and spent considerable time at no cost to determine the problem, evaluate the options, , and recommend the best course of action to resolve the engine issue. He performed the work and everything is good now and it runs like a champ! Highly recommend Swanson's Automotive for your foreign car service needs!

Chris serviced our 2018 Toyota Camry. His expertise and customer service was absolutely amazing!! He took his time to explain all services and made sure that I was able to understand. In his explanation he provides you with prices to all services and DOES NOT overcharge, providing further explanation if needed. He is an extremely professional mechanic. He has our service for years to come!! Do not walk but RUN to Swanson's Automotive Service for all of your cars needs!!!

Needed a new starter, shoutout to Chris who was nice and friendly. Thank you for getting my car up and running again. Definitely will be coming here in the future for any car trouble!!

We found Chris at Swanson Auto because of the great reviews which were spot on. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable. He took the time to discuss what may be wrong with my Ford Focus and a plan of action that would address its greatest needs first and would fit my budget. The work was done on time and we are very happy with the results. I would absolutely go back to Swanson Auto because of Chrisâ honesty, quality, and expertise. If any friends or family needed a mechanic, I would send them here first!

Highly recommend Chris at Swanson's Automotive. I was very happy to find him - here fixed the retractable top on my Volvo C70, other shops wouldn't even look at it.

I cannot say enough great things about Chris and Swanson Automotive, but Iâm gonna try. Iâve been using his shop for several years to keep my 2007 Lexus Rx350 in top shape. He can do anything! Just recently, he installed a new stereo/speakers with perfection. Iâve had my AC motor replaced, tire alignment and rotation, alternator replaced, belts, ignition coils and gaskets, just to name a few of the things he fixed. Heâs fair, heâs honest and heâs professional. I will not trust my car with anyone else. I fully recommend your car in his care.

If you want professional, quality car care, don't go anywhere else. Chris is an awesome mechanic with amazing customer service. He has a customer for life. Thank you Chris and keep up the great work.

Great shop! Was having a loud engine noise that couldnât get diagnosed properly and Chris was able to find the issue right away. He repaired it quickly at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommend Swansonâs. They are extremely honest and do quality work which is all you could ask for. Do yourself a favor and avoid the dealership repair and take it by Swansons.

I just dropped in! He dropped what he wss doing; drove my vehicle; and determined that the rattle I had living was not apparent at this time and that I was safe to drive the 1000 miles back home, with safely. I am so grateful.

The owner is a vile human being.
Apr 07, 2024
Chris is great. I didnât even need any services done but he took a look at my car and didnât charge me anything because no service was needed. Chris is an honest guy. I will bring my car back when it needs to be serviced.

Tucked away off University Avenue across the street from the 7-11 by the airport is a jem of an automobile repair service. Chris the head mechanic is very knowledgeable about cars and quickly diagnosed the problem with my 99 Camery and fixed it. Swansonâs has been there for 20 years and I wish I had found them sooner. We all want the best service for our cars and rely on professionals to keep our cars safe for us to drive. I have a good feeling that Swansonâs will continue to provide this service at a reasonable cost. Iâm looking forward to being a loyal customer and highly recommend that you do to.

Chris and his team were able to repair major damages ON my Camaro SS 2017 in little to no time for a great price. I highly recommend Swanson for any car repairs you may need.

Chris, the auto technician at Swansons Auto Service provided awesome service. He was very kind and honest. He spent time diagnosing/troubleshooting why my vehicle was running rough and hot without charging me a penny for his time and effort. Thank you so much, Chris. I highly recommend Chris at Swanson Automotive Service.
