I cant thank Ryan and the boys over at REA Automotive enough. I brought my truck there to have both my engine and transmission tuned. They got it done right and some extra bits in a very short period of time. Im very pleased with how my truck runs. Their customer service is awesome and being able to contact Ryan throughout the process was great. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking to tune their vehicle and or have professional service/repairs done at very reasonable prices!
Just went to this shop today Oct. 25, 2021....Best customer service. Quick and efficient. Thank you so much for helping me with my Suburban... we will definitely be back for EVERYTHING my truck should ever need... you guys are seriously a BLESSING from The Lord... 🙏
Based on customers reviews, I took my 1997 BMW 740 iL to R.E.A. Automotive for repairs. I am very thankful that I did. If you are looking for a repair shop that is honest, professional and one you can trust, you cannot find any better in southwest Florida than R.E.A. Automotive. Ryan and his staff treated me more like a friend than a customer. I highly recommend R.E.A. Automotive.
Ryan is a very nice guy very knowledgeable and always answers within an hour had a lot of things worked on in one day and always being on a time crunch he really helped me out I was with out the truck for one day not even for work that would have taken somewhere els a few days to fix highly recommend coming here for quick repairs with quality and good pricing especially for tuning.
Ryan was so HONEST and up front. He made my nightmare situation turn into a no worries day where I felt safe to take my 2007 GMC on the road trip I had planned. Such a pleasure to do business with. BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE! Very reasonable and friendly. So glad I didn’t take it to the dealer. REA Auto got me back on the road the same day and at a Very fair price but above all honest. I have already referred several others to his shop and will not take my truck anywhere else in Florida now. Can’t thank him enough. Will definitely go back ! Great work and thank you again :) Thanks, Melanie
These guys are great! When I was passing through my alternator went out on my 2008 Volvo XC 90. I tried calling all the Volvo mechanics in the area and no one had the time or ability to help me. I called Sebs and they referred me to R.E.A. Automotive who is located behind them.When I called they were booked but giving my situation they had me bring it in and talked through the couple options we had to have it fixed. He was able to get an alternator in the next morning and have it ready for me to pick up the next day at 1pm! Couldnt be happier to use these guys again if I have vehicle issues in this area. The kindness and understanding they showed giving our situation is second to none!
The most honest and reasonable mechanic in town. Thank you.
These folks run a tight ship! Ive always been treated beautifully and with the utmost honesty. If anyone asks for a good and fair mechanic I send them to Ryan and Indigo :)
I had a special situation and they helped me out with quality, timely work at a great price. Highly recommend.
Ive been fighting a dead battery/car wont start for several years. Went through 2 batteries, several different mechanics who replace battery and cable ends again and STILL car starting issues. Then I found REA. They looked it over and two hours later it was fixed and now 2 weeks later still NO issues. REA was very professional, quick, and bottom line, it was fixed.
Ryan is awesome. Service was on point.
This team provides great service! Indigo helped me put wipers on my car, and made an appointment for me to have Ryan diagnose my 4 runner’s challenge. Symptoms seemed like fuel line/filter/pump, yet how good it felt, to have Ryan explain it all to me!And, he was able to get the part and have it ready in just hours! Such a quick turn around! I’m really grateful!
Ryan and folks at REA do quality work even on high performance vehicles. I recently had some misfiring on my CTS-V and the issues were found and fixed. They did a complete re-tune of engine and have it running like it should. It only took a few days in the shop and reasonable price. Feels like youre dealing with friends through the whole process. Would highly recommend you go here for your cars needs.
I moved down here last August and REA came highly recommended. Now I know why. Very honest owner and staff. Ryan has since worked on both of my vehicles and he and his staff are nothing short of the best auto repair shop in Florida!
Brought my GMC Sierra to Ryan for performance upgrades. Truck needed more power and this was the place to go. After headers,intake,full exhaust and custom tune I’m very happy with the results! Took his time to make sure the tune was perfect. Highly recommend REA automotive.
I walked in with an unknown transmission problem as I was heading home about 4 hours away. Another automotive repair place had started quoting me prices in the hundreds and stated it may take up to 2 days to fix it. This all before even looking at my car. Ryan at REA took my car, diagnosed it, fixed it and had me on my way in an hour for just over $100. This is unheard of anymore! What a talented and honest mechanic. The rest of his staff were extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable while I waited. I highly recommend REA Auto for your vehicle needs.
Best and most honest shop I have wver been. Ryan is a craftsman in the trade and resolves all problems.
REA Automotive has been my go to service center for several years. Most recently they tuned my Camaro SS and now she is a beast. Get tires and just about whatever you need done quickly. Friendly service and at a very reasonable price.
Great, quick service at a fair price. Ryan was extremely friendly and got the job done as you would expect. Highly recommend!
Great experience with R.E.A. Automotive. They were very nice, honest and affordable. Thanks Ryan!
From the moment I called and spoke to Indigo on getting rear brakes, rotors and caliphers to bringing the truck in to get fixed with Ryan, my experience was excellent. I would recommended REA Automotive to anyone needing vehicle work. Thank you Ryan, Indigo and the rest of the REA Automotive staff!
Ryan replaced my transmission and had an issue with the starter after I got it back and he took care of the problem.Highly recommend. Very good at what he does and easy to talk to...Thanks!
I can take my car there with confidence. Very honest and always a great job. Thanks Ryan!
Rick has inspected 2 vehicles for me on my quest of finding a new commuter. He has been flexible with appointment times, taught me more about the vehicles I have showed him and has always been pleasant to be around. With his knowledge and feedback, I was able to say no to big purchases that I wouldn’t have been satisfied with. I will be returning to R.E.A Automotive for future inspections and repairs! Thank you for everything Rick!
I’ve used Ryan exclusively for both of my vehicles for a number of years. He’s honest, knowledgeable, and an expert at what he does. Key word is honest. His rates are reasonable when compared to auto dealerships.
A great experience with a very knowledgeable mechanic. I had issues with my Maxima and Ryan took care of it and told me everything I needed to know about the car . I moved here a year ago and found my go too mechanic! Highly recommended! Tony O.
Ryan at R.E.A automotive is a great mechanic, honest and fair. Does a awesome and gets the job done in a timely manner. It was well worth my drive from Alva to know I was going to get the best quality work and great customer service. Thats hard to find these days and Im so happy I did. I now have a new mechanic and will send all my friends/family to him as well.
Ryan is one of the best mechanics I have had! I can honestly say that he is the most honest and helpful person that has worked on my car yet. I had been going to another mechanic that had me put in over $2000 going to them every month for four months when Ryan found the root of the problem, fixed it and havent seen him since for an engine problem. The other time I had a nail in my car and went to the closest tire place near me and they told me I had to wait 2 hours till they could get to me so I called Ryan up and told him about my predicament and he told me he could fix it in ten minutes. He is a really great guy and if you are looking for a regular mechanic for your car, he is the person to go too.
Ryan is a really great mechanic and really truly honest mechanic rarely you could see those two in the same person. Ryans fair about the prices he tells you whats wrong with your car and gives you a fair price to fix it and head of time. Free estimates. This guy is definitely worth bringing your car to.
Ryan is great awesome
Ryan is the absolute BEST mechanic I have ever had work on my cars numerous times. He will diagnose, fix, and charge a very reasonable price. He is honest, professional, and you know when the work is done it is done right the first time. Ryan does a wonderful job explaining what is wrong and the work is completed in a very reasonable amount of time. Ryan is a high class young man that will treat you fairly, honestly, and you will be totaly satisfied with his quality work. It will only take you one time to have him fix a problem and he will be the only mechanic you will ever trust to work on you vehicles!!!
Just had some minor maintence done on our car, couldnt be happier with the experience. Ryan is professional, courteous and trustworthy. Having come down from New England and needing to find a reliable mechanic, he is by far someone I will continue to use and recommend. We found REA on Angies List with wonderful reviews and we agree!!
My experience at REA was the best I have ever had with a mechanic, dealership or private. Ryan was honest, fair, welcoming and did great work. He even offered to drive me home and pick me up as my car was going to be a while. There is no question as to if I would use REA again. I would highly recommend REA.
Not too long ago my wifes a/c want out in her car. Ryan @ R.E.A was a rare treat to come across. We were 2 hours away from home and not only was he reasonable, but he was honest and did an amazing job. Now a days it really is hard to come across that. Not only do I recommend this shop, I would be willing to make the trip,just to know its done right!!!! Thanks again Ryan!Dean S.
I have been a loyal customer of R.E.A. Automotive since 2014. Now a days our vehicles are a major part of everyday life. For me it enables me to support my family between driving my 3 children to school/sports activities and safely to work everyday. The R.E.A team have always gone above and beyond to make sure I understand all the needs that my vehicle has had, made the repairs and maintenance as easy and stress free as possible and mostly always shown fairness in their fees. There truly is no better feeling then knowing that you have an experienced and honest mechanic working to help keep you and your family safe on the road, protecting your investment and proves it each and every time. R.E.A Automotive will always be my mechanic and I wouldnt have it any other way!! Thank you.
Ive used Ryan for several years now on both my and my wifes car. Ryan is extremely dependable, hard working, fast, and honest. He is very clear in what needs to be fixed and his prices are very fair. Ryan is extremely honest which is very refreshing and I wont hesitate to use him in the future whenever I have car issues. Thanks Ryan!
I have 1990 Mazda Miata that has had parts lying around for sometime. I finally got around to saving up for the installation and I got on the phone with multiple Auto Shops throughout the area. All of them didnt want my business because I didnt buy parts through their shop. There wasnt a warranty for the parts I needed installed so they were quick to shoo me away. Ryan was the only guy that was up to the task and better yet of all the shops Ive been to he had the best rates, and was the fastest one when it came to how quick the work was done. I strongly recommend R.E.A. Automotive to anyone looking for an honest, affordable and timely service.
Referred to R.E.A. Automotive by friends. Needed a much needed oil change for my vehicle and tired of paying outrageous services at area garages and quick service locations.Had fantastic experience, friendly, reasonably priced and Ryan even put up with my sleep deprivedness.
For the second time, I have driven from the Tampa Bay Area to have Ryan work on my car. Not only is this man good at what he does, he is honest and isnt like most mechanics out to take advantage of people. I chose to bring my car to him to help support the small business. And I promise I will be back. This man not only restored faith in mechanics but in humanity, he didnt have to take on my car but did and saved me money. Thank you!!
Ryan is a trustworthy and dependable mechanic. Hes been working on our cars for years and hes our go-to-person. Doesnt try to turn every problem our car is experiencing into a major ordeal - sometimes he troubleshoots and fixes within minutes of arriving at his shop. Highly recommend.
Ive been going to R.E.A for years and Ive always been more than satisfied with my visits. With R.E.A I know that any vehicle I bring in will be repaired/maintained properly without something else going wrong later on. Best place to go if you want a job done right.
Very quick visit to replace air filter.
Ryan always does excellent work on my car. Very time effiecent and makes sure that he get it done right. Would highly recommend him to anyone that needs their car worked on.
Important… Must read:Ryan from R.E.A.automotive just saved me hundreds of dollars and most importantly, major headaches in the future. I recently had engine trouble and assuming because it is a relatively newer vehicle that it would be covered under warranty, I chose to have the vehicle towed to a dealership rather then bring it to Ryan. The dealership diagnose my vehicle. The total bill was pushing $500. I called ryan to ask his opinion. Right away he remembered a tech bulletin on my vehicle and prompted me to look further into it. Upon doing so, I found that the dealership craftily LIED and said that there were no oil fouled spark plugs. Ryan was able to advise me on how to check this and upon investigation, I found the culprit. I just left the dealership where I was apologized to over and over again for the flat out lie and now my vehicle is being repaired under warranty and I am being reimbursed the $130 diagnostic fee which I was forced to pay originally. I have been bringing my vehicles to Ryan for a few years now and Ive never been steered wrong. He does great work, in a timely fashion, and genuinely cares about his customers. I highly recommend him for any and all of your mechanic needs.-Nick P
Second time there. Both times the owner was there and was 100% amazing this last time I had a maintenance light go on in my van. With no charge, he reset the sensor for an oil change and showed me how to do it. I really trust this place.
I have been using Ryan & REA for 2 years and am very confident in his work. I feel he is honest in his diagnostics and doesnt try to sell you un-needed work and I feel his prices are fair.Clay Shaw
Just used REA AUTOMOTIVE off Bernwood for my gfs A/C repair. Everyone else quoted $800, he did it under $600. Fair, honest, local and nice guys. Ill be back for my own car!
Honest, knowledgeable and fair priced. Im so glad to have found Ryan at REA
Made an appointment the day before for an oil change and filter. I was in and out in no time. Great staff!
Ryan is the most honest person Ive ever met he didnt try to sale me stuff I didnt need he let me know what was wrong give me a quote.then he fixed it for the amount he quoted. he is going to be my life long mechanic.Got A Mechanic? I Do !!
Ryan, Jerry and indigo are an amazing team.
I have had several diffrent shops and mechanics work on my cars i have had over the years and finding R.E.A. Automotive was such a relief from the everyday joe trying to just earn a buck and not caring about you as a person. Ryan goes above and beyond on his performance and dedication to give excellent service to each individual who needs work done on their cars. He is up to date on his knowledge of the newer cars and older models as well. Ryan isnt just your typical mechanic he has compassion and the prices to have a car fix is by far the best prices ive ever had to deal with....well worth keeping him as my mechanic and well worth the drive from Labelle for all my auto needs :-)
Used them previously. Top Quality Work, Knowledgeable and honest
Ryan does great work at a very reasonable price. Have been going there he first opened his door and I will never go anywhere else.
Quality service.
