I was doing volunteer work on the island and my tire pressure warning went off. I pulled in and asked if they could check my tires. Shawn was kind enough to check all 4 tires and top them them off. Thank you for helping me out!!!

We were staying in St. James City for several months and needed to have a strange issue with our truck sporadically not starting with turning the key. The owner kept our truck until he found the issue and it has now worked flawlessly. We also had new tires put on the truck and they were great for our long drive back home. Great service, would highly recommend.

We were able to bring in our vehicle the day after we called to fix our air conditioning. After dropping it off at 8 am, it was ready by 3:45 pm the same day! Cost was extremely reasonable. Very friendly and professional, we couldn’t be more happy. We highly recommend them!

If you need your car or truck fixed this is where you need to bring it !!! The only problem is there are a busy place but they know how to fix your car or truck !!! And will fit you in. I have an older Honda Pilot. Shawn put a drive shaft and many other parts that I didn’t know I had problems with. At a far price I might add. Thank you very much Shawn

What an awesome experience! Our Tahoe was overheating on the way to spring break pulling the boat and being miles away from home we did not have much of a choice close to where we stayed. These guys were extremely helpful and worked us in the schedule knowing we would be stranded after spring break with out them. If I lived in Cape Coral or anywhere near St. James I would be taking my car to them! Thank you guys for the assist and working to get us back on the road.

This rating is only for the online. " make an appointment" feature on their website. I tried Sunday, march 09, asking for Oil change, tire rotation Tuesday morning, march 11. No reply, no indication of receipt of message, nada. This shop comes highly recommended by an island resident. I'm tourist at koa. I drove down to see if they had my request and to get a status update. Clerk behind the counter said only that she was booking service for nxt week. So I'd drop this on line service. I have a few more days on island so I'll drive down tomorrow, wednesday and see if I can get in nxt week. 🫤

I have always loved St. James Automotive and the work that they do, but the addition of Alex and her smiling face at the front desk has made it seem more welcoming! Keep up the good work!!

So, just before 4th of July, The wife and I moved our daughter to Pine Island for a new career. That's 13 hours from home. Of course we started having serious front end issues on her car. We noticed Pine Island actually had a few auto repair shops with high ratings & good reviews. St. James Auto had the highest rating and we liked the reviews as they seemed genuine. So it was an easy choice, especially since we're antique lovers and animal lovers. B T W - the grey tabby shop cat is a real laid back love bug. The shop had a lot of regular customers ahead of us since it was a Holiday week, but they understood my urgent situation. I dropped it off Tuesday, he diagnosed it, had it back to me Wednesday afternoon. He knew we needed our daughters car back on Wednesday so we could leave for home on Thursday morning and he came through for us. When you dump your 25 year old little girl 13 hours from home, it's good to know she has a team of mechanics that will take care of her rather than take advantage of her. We had some major damage and replacement to the front brakes and it was just over $500. I was expecting much more. Thanks to the automotive techs at Saint James Automotive for living up to all those awesome reviews we read. Keep taking care of my little girl.

St. James Automotive was such a great place until Brian, and then Shaun, moved on. It was an honest and fair place. Now, the owner has jacked the labor rate sky high and hired a manager that seems so sketchy that I did a little googling and found quite the questionable past. I won't be going back. There goes the last of the good mechanics on the island. I don't think id be bragging about hiring someone with 4 arrests on his record ( 2 of them being domestic Violence charges) Also, i was a customer, and Pine Island is cheaper.........i guess we cant rely on a truthful statement considering the aforementioned..

1 week for an oil change , and they doubled the price from 3 months ago....who does that?. Then you have this nasty new manager who looked like he was gonna jump over the counter when i questioned the price. Ever since Brian and Shaun left, this place is terrible. Not coming Back!!!!!!! I had an estimate from Shaun when he was still there, and it was changed. So ,your prices have changed, or you just decided to charge us more. And yes, My Grandfather Tom has been coming there for years., but not anymore. Also, why do you have a manager working there with 4 charges on his record?. 2 of them are for domestic battery?.

Excellent service at St. James Auto. Rob, the new manager, is very professional and helpful. The service was fast, the estimate took only a few minutes, and my car was handled immediately. Very clean and well-organized shop. Definitely coming back!
