Gator is responsive, skilled, and shows up when he says he'll show up. He'll be working on my vehicles exclusively.

He worked on my balancer pulley,and did a terrible job. This guy is so sorry and has a terrible personality. He's so lazy that he didn't take all of the plastic off of the brand new part and it began making the loudest squeaking sound ever. Then when I tried to get him to fix it. He tries to say it's a different issue and stopped responding to my messages. Don't use this guy

Gator fixed my son's alternator who is at FSU. He did an excellent job. His prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I would not recommend him, he appears knowledgeable but he is not business like. I called him he came by and did a diagnostic (no problem) I ordered the parts and notified him when they came in he came back to look at it again and said he would be back the next day to begin. Well I didn't hear from him, I called text no response finally he responded and said he couldn't do it until Friday. I stated okay just let me know Friday came and past and he is not answering my calls. I want to support a small business but at least be professional. I am highly disappointed and would not refer him to anyone for anything! I never complain but this guy is not worth the time. I have never left a bad review on anyone because just because I wasn't satisfied I would not deter others from using a service, but in this case I would tell anyone to steer clear.

The absolute worse mobile mechanic I know, told me he would look at my car and never set a time to do it. I tried setting up a time for 2 days and he would say “ I will let you know 30 minutes before” but would not give me a time and stated “I have a personal life too” he’s not a good business man and would not EVER recommend him. Go to the hood before coming to him fr fr!

Daughter was about stranded while at school in Tallahassee with a bad plug and coil on 2011 Infiniti with 110k miles. Gator came out quickly and got the car running smoothly at a very fair price. I'm a cautious father, so with a 5 hour drive home coming up soon, I had him come back to replace the other 5 plugs/coils before she hits the road. What a relief to have a reliable person who can take care of her vehicle without typical dealership or repair shop hassles. Thanks, Gator!

Unreliable. Gator came out and looked at our vehicle to determine what was wrong. Said he would reach back out to us after Easter. My husband reached back out to him and his text seemed as though he had parts but still a no show and no contact. I guess he picks and chooses who he does work for because it's the end of May and no Gator. After looking at your response I'm so happy you didn't call us back. So he took 3 months off for Covid just a few months ago. Not in the heart of COVID. Why wasn't that explained to us if that was why he couldn't make it out . Just a excuse instead of just apologizing like an professional business would have done. I am very blessed and wishing you all the blessing the Lord has to offer.

Whatever you do not let this man touch your car. I hired him to put in a new distributor in my car. He did that but never finished the job and putting my car back together. He is very unreliable and not responsive. Now I have to find another mechanic to finish the job. If I could give him zero stars I would. This is very disappointing I have to come on here and write this review….

Tried to schedule since I was having car issues and needed someone ASAP and I live far from town to go to a mechanic. Called him three times three different days. Each time it was “call me back tomorrow” or “I may be able to look at it tonight, but it might be tomorrow, call me back tomorrow.” I never heard back from him and refuse to track him down. Zero customer service. Very upsetting. Edited to add: Feel free to take a look at all my reviews. I give credit where credit is due and have plenty of 4+ star reviews.

Feb/10/22 My daughter's car broke a coolant hose in the housing parking garage at FSU. Texted Gator the description and parking spot number and he came same day to look at it and responded back with what was wrong and parts needed, Next day he got the parts, repaired and test drove the car and left key under the matt, paid him thru Zelle using his cell number. I would not hesitate to call him again.

Gator is indensipable when you want a quick repair without a tow. He has taken care of my alternator timely both times and is always honest and upfront. He will get the job done quick and without a hassle.

My brakes gave out on me unexpectedly on my way to work. It was not a fun experience. I found Gator online. Gator showed up when he said he would and he charged me an extremely reasonable price. The original price quoted to me was to replace the brake boost. He wound up having to replace it, another part I cannot remember the name of, the right driver's side caliper and brake pads. He then had to bleed the entire system. As each problem presented itself, he still did not go up on the labor. He really cared about getting it right and making sure I could drive safely, which can't be said for the people who supposedly fixed it 6 months prior (Ray's Auto and Tire in Crawfordville). Thank you, Gator. I will be calling on you again soon.

Outstanding Service!!! First time and will not be the last. Diagnosed and repaired timely. Also, made other recommendations. Much cheaper than the dealer (40% cheaper in my case), and you actually get to talk to Mr. Gator who will patiently explain everything and answer questions.... Finally found a mechanic in Tallahassee I trust. Extremely professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him!! Fixed my car in one day Very professional and I recommend 100% 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

Gator has been a blessing to my son in FSU. He has worked on his car a few times now and does not disappoint. He goes out of his way to help college kids in need. Fair pricing and honest mechanics are hard to come by. So glad I found him. I 100% recommend him and will continue using his services.

I used this service a year ago. I was having issues with my brakes and he told me my front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. I paid for all of that to be fixed. Then when my brakes made noises again he said just the back brake pads needed to be replaced so I paid for that now. Now a year later, my brakes once again were making grinding noises which was concerning since I just had them repaired and have not driven nearly enough miles to go through brake pads in a year. I took my car somewhere else to get repaired and come to find out my front rotors were NEVER replaced. My brakes had been so badly damaged because I had been driving them with basically bandaid cover ups for a year that now I had to get all the rotors, all the brake pads, and the back calipers replaced. I was completely scammed by this service who did not replace the rotors like I paid for. Not to mention, the fact that did a crappy cover up job of my brakes instead of actually fixing them so they ended up getting way more damaged and expensive to fix. I am so lucky that my brakes never failed on me for the past year because this could have been much worse. Do not use this service if you don't want to be scammed and taken advantage of. Fully lied about the services he did, made me pay for parts and services he never performed, and allowed me to drive on broken brakes and damage my car even further. Be smarter than me and don't come here.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. I have paid Gator close to $2000 and I now have more issues than I started with. I originally paid him to fix broken CV axels. He fixed these, and caused a variety of different issues. My traction control, ABS, and cruise control are all broken now. He told me that this was from the wheel sensors being broken because of the axels. I paid him to fix the sensors, which still did not resolve the issue. He then said it was my break rotors, which I paid to get fixed and the problem is still persists. I am now having to pay another shop to fix the issues that he caused by “repairing” my car. Update- the car is pretty much totaled. Nothing works, all of the lights are on and it drives horribly. Do not let this man anywhere near your car. Update- I am now having to sue him for the damage he has caused my car. Again DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

Gator responded to my call in seconds regarding my water pump in my 2015 Chevy Cruze,and was able to get me the parts and services I needed same day because I did not feel comfortable driving my car with the errors it was throwing. He charged fair prices (cannot say the same for third party site YOURMECHANIC as they wanted to bill me nearly triple the price at $850) and I will definitely use his business for future services. Very friendly person to deal with… Thank you 🙏🏻
