I first learned about Tradition Auto Repair through a family member. He could not say enough great things about them, so when I was needing to have some routine maintenance done, I thought I would give them a shot. Well, almost a year has passed and we have taken all of our family vehicles to this shop, The owner, Mike, and his team are without a doubt the most trustworthy repair shop that I have ever dealt with. They have given sound advice and always stated upfront what costs we were facing. I have always felt that they have my family's best interest at heart. I'm glad Tradition Auto Repair has made Port Saint Lucie their home and look forward to taking my business to them for years to come.

I've enjoyed having Collector Car/Trucks for the past five years in Northern Virginia. I bounced from shop to shop, trying to find a shop that knew how to fix and "modernize" my toys. Sometimes feeling like the techs were learning how to do a given job on my car or truck. Luckily enough, I finally found a great shop in my local area (reasonably priced) that really addressed and resolved problems on my 66 Mustang; that I'd lived with for four plus years. We're retiring in Tradition, FL and I brought my 55 Ford F-100 down to enjoy here before officially moving here. Shortly thereafter, it developed a serious fuel line "leak" (VA shop recently installed a new fuel tank and fuel lines before I brought it down) and a couple other small issues. A friend recommended Tradition Auto Repair for Quality/Reasonable work on Collector vehicles AND regular car/trucks. I was IMMEDIATELY impressed by their facility AND the Staff Member's attitudes and "voiced" knowledge. Mike (shop manager) immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew I'd found a shop that REALLY cared about my truck. They determined the fuel leak was caused by improperly installed fuel line fittings and also addressed a "fast" idle issue. Their price to fix these two repairs was VERY reasonable. I especially appreciated and enjoyed having my truck worked on by professionals (Joe, Jessie and Richard). I genuinely look forward to working with this gang - taking my toy to another level (coyote engine, trans, wiring etc). The notable item is that I NEVER entertained doing this kind of work on my truck for the three years I had it in VA. Why - because I didn't feel comfortable they would know how to do something like this. OR, would I be paying for them to "learn" how to do the job? Mike (Owner) and the rest of his team KNOW how to do this work!!!

Needed an oil change. Called and they took me in 5 minutes and finished in 20min. Laura and Gary the owners are super nice and their price is very fair. Full synthetic for Acura mdx 2016 was 65 dollars with tax ,tire plus wanted 99 dollars and had to wait 2 weeks lmao... highly recommend this place as they are fast and very reasonably priced compared to other places in st.lucy

** Edited since the owner replied: I was not mad at the price of the repairs they recommended. The prices for the repairs were not the issue. There are no loud noises in the front wheels, and two repair shops have done an inspection since Gary’s auto has and neither of the other shops felt it was assessed properly. Also, thank you for airing out the issues of my vehicle on the internet. You could’ve called me directly as you have our number. Please do not only get one quote if going to this repair shop. My girlfriend took her vehicle here for a routine oil change, and walked out with a laundry list of “issues” needed to be repair ASAP as the repair ticket said. Without going into full detail, we followed up their recommendation with 2 additional quotes. First, not telling the other shops what Gary’s auto quoted us, than after looking over the car, giving them Gary’s recommendations. Repair shops take advantage of those unfamiliar with cars all the time. In my situation, I feel with the many opinions we’ve had, Gary tried to take advantage of us as well.

I was in the middle of trying to do my own brake replacement. I was having trouble getting a caliper bolt out. I called, they said they could get me in, between jobs if I dropped it off. Turns out they did it while I waited. It was less than an hour. Very friendly, amazing staff. I highly recommend and they will get all my business for auto repair going forward. A+++++

Great service and communication. I used to get all my work done at the Ford dealership. The people at Tradition Auto Repair are much better than the dealer. They went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied. Even though it was my first time there, I could tell they are experts in their field. If you bring your car here you are in great hands.

Came here to change my brakes as I wasn't sure if it needed changing. Mike and his team did a wonderful job of explaining that I didn't need a brake change. Unlike most other repair shop who would have happily take your money, these guys were more than happy to explain that I didn't need a brake change. That really really help to save me money. The service was phenomenal, everyone in the was really friendly and easy to work with. Keep up the good work guys. Definitely recommend these guys for their honesty!!!!

I had an oil change yesterday. Their price was better than 2 other places I'd called, and good reviews. Once I saw they are family operated I didn't think twice as I always try to support local businesses and family operated businesses as much as possible. I got my appointment within 2 hrs and only waited 30 minutes if that. Thank you Laura for the great customer service!

I cannot express how happy I am with the service I received. My starter and my battery needed to be replaced along with an alignment and oil change on my Acura TSX . Laura is the wife of Gary. She is the one that you deal with and she is amazing. The battery was going to cost too much with them so she sent me down the street to get it cheaper..like who does that? I’ve definitely found myself a repair shop that hopefully I won’t need in the future:)

It's really great to find people who 1) know their trade, and know what the heck they are doing, 2) do it in a professional manner, 3) and will give you honest advice. I brought my F-150 in for an issue with a squealy fan belt. They diagnosed and gave me a quote for the AC compressor. During the repair, when they discovered an additional part was needed, they called and let me know the extra cost and got my approval. Just a wonderful auto shop and great people to work with. Thank you so much. I shall return! Cheers.

Decided to try Gary's Auto around a year ago. I moved up this way and didn't want to keep driving south all the time to service my vehicles. He's just as good as my guy down south and charges me the same price. They do excellent work. Very satisfied.

Such a wonderful find. I normally do my own oil changes and brake work but I didn't have the time or specific tool to do my rear brakes. I had already purchased my brake pads from the local auto shop and had called around but many big name shops won't do just the labor unless you purchase your supplies from them. Gary's Auto worked with me, Laura at the front desk is such a pleasure to work with. She took the time, broke down the deal and work and they were able to do the rear brake work with the supplies i had already purchased. They do offer military discount fyi. Job was done correctly and efficiently. I would definitely use them again

Great group of people who work there and take care of our fleet. We have several trucks that we bring there and there is always something odd with them that the team at TAR always figures out. They're honest and reasonably priced... and honestly, pretty fun to talk to.

Gary saved the day by repairing my tire. Several shops in the area did not want to do the repair, but this shop did it and did it right. I was lucky that he was able to help me right away. Very clean shop and very reasonable prices. Thank you very much for your helping me.

Had to bring both my vehicles back multiple times for same issue. Check engine light kept coming back on for a sensor Rear Brakes keep squeaking after replacing multiple parts and multiple visits. I had to bring each vehicle in 3 or 4 times.

While we were on vacation, our windshield wiper came loose during a thunderstorm, and we had no idea what to do. We stopped by Gary’s Auto, and they helped us right away. They fixed the issue quickly and got us safely back on the road in the pouring rain. Super kind, honest, and professional — we were so grateful for their help when we really needed it. Highly recommend!

Took both my cars in for alignments, they offer fair price and work better than dealer. I always have trust issues with mechanics touching my cars & scamming. I am also very picky with alignments, and I gotta say they did it perfectly. I will be back to see Laura soon. They are now our familys trusted mechanic shop I will send everyone I know here. They serviced a 2020 Highlander and a 2016 Accord.
