Such an amazing experience! Being from out of town and needing quick repair work before we could drive home, Rhodes went out of their way to get the parts and complete the job during a very busy time. Their pricing was very honest and fair at a time that we could have been taken advantage of. I would completely trust them for any service needs.
I had a leak in the coolant line. They were quick to fix it.
Came out to pull us out of the sand quickly and efficiently. Attendant on the phone was very courteous and let me know they would try and if unsuccessful would call someone else! Tow truck operator was personable and quick to get us out. Thank You for coming out soooo quickly!
We have a small fleet of trucks for our company and when one is down for repair, it affects our ability to do business. Rhodes Auto Repair always makes sure to get our trucks back up and running as soon as possible. We appreciate their speedy, professional service and would recommend them to anyone needing auto repair in Destin!
Friendly staff...Knowledge, professional... They stay very busy so if you can avoid going during peak hours.
Was visiting Destin from Illinois and the day before we went home I saw fluids leaking under the car. Went to Rhodes at 7:30 in the morning and was told they were booked solid for the next week. The lady then asked me where we were from and what the problem was. She immediately said she didnt want us risking the ride home and had one of the technicians immediately bring the car in to check it. It turned out to be nothing to worry about and when I went to pay, the lady told me no charge! Although they did not need to make any repairs the technician still spent his time looking it over and yet they still refused to take any payment! Unbelievable in this day and age. A really honest, honorable business. She knew I was from Illinois and would probably never be back as a repeat customer but still, no charge! If you are ever in Destin, please go to Rhodes Auto Repair for your repairs. Whatever they charge, you can be assured it is an honest price. I cant thank them enough for putting my mind at ease as we got ready to travel back home. Thank you Rhodes Auto Repair!
Stopped in with a huge bolt in my truck tire, from the moment I walked in and spoke to the awesome person at reception desk til I got my truck back, tired fixed, 15-20 minutes later, nothing but a great experience. They are so friendly, professional and accommodating. I will definitely use Rhodes for my future auto repairs
I take my vehicles to Rhodes and recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right and on time at a fair price
I have been using this business for over 40 years. They are the absolute best. The quality of work is unsurpassed. They are honest and genuinely appreciate your business. Luther and Donna, their son Scott are some of the best people I have ever known. They have had some great employees throughout the years and perhaps one of the best is Terri who works the front desk. She schedules and provides the best in customer service. So many times she has helped me out when I have needed service and been in a bind. Thank you to everyone there. You all are the best. Sincerely, a customer for life. Luther and Donna have recently retired and the new owner Ben who was an employee here as a young man continues the same level of experience. Tim Laird
Vood work, resonable prices, care about excellant. Customer service. Terry does a really great job handling the front desk. I would highly recommend them to work on your car as well as mine.
Great work.. honest people.. would highly recommend these people ..
Most dishonest shop in the area . Took the van there for a general inspection of the vehicle, told me that there is an “internal oil leak “ asked to show me what he’s talking about - caught the mechanic in the act of having no proof of a leak. I asked for a written report, the lady upfront told me that she’s very busy ( the write up of the inspection should be a normal print out from any mechanic) and she’ll email it to me by the end of the day . Called back that evening she hang up the phone, called in the morning, asked her for the report she hang up . I guess for people that have no knowledge of automotive this company it’s the perfect “rip off” heaven-
When youre on the road and need something worked on you just never know what youre going to get, I was very thankful I found this place excellent automotive shop better than 5 stars
I had an issue with my Ford F-150 with the engine. I called Terri on Monday morning and she told me to bring it in at 1:00. They helped me completely and honestly. I would recommend them to any customer!Whether you are from the area or visiting, for an honest recommendation of what needs to be done and at a great price..... go to Rhodes!
I cant thank you guys enough for your service!! We had a vehicle brought over for a pre-purchase inspection, and are thankful you caught an expensive issue before we closed the deal!! Referring all our friends in the area. Its always a pleasure working with good honest folks like you
Had such a great experience with this company. Very friendly and honest people, that was able to get our car in super fast and did a great job of finding the problem quickly. I was grateful for the small town service they offered us. I would hands down recommend them to anyone.
So we came to Destin for vacation. Check engine light came on and the vehicle started running very poorly. Was shaking and vibrating repeatedly, as we came to a stop. Rhodes Was able to get us in in a very timely fashion, and fixed it later the same day. The pricing was very reasonable. And everybody I spoke with and dealt with was very kind and professional. Thank you very much Rhodes auto repair!
They were affordable and completed the job on time and on budget
Very knowledge, excellent customer service, great pricing, quick repair! Ben and his staff were very honest and knew exactly what my truck needed to be repaired. Unlike many other places they have a sense of urgency that go me back on the road quickly! An honest mechanic will always stay busy!
Knowledge, Integrity, Honesty and Fair Price - These are the things you look for in a mechanic and you will get all four with Rhodes Auto Repair. I was visiting from out of town and they made sure I was back up and going quickly and without a major dent in my pocket book. I strongly recommend them!
I’ve personally known the owners for several years and they run their business TOP NOTCH! Ben is always able to answer any questions you may have. Terri in the office is amazing as well. You can’t go wrong with Rhodes!
Rhodes auto repair was awesome and provided top notch service. After having an unfortunate occurrence of a car break down coming all the way from Cleveland, they treated us as one of their own. They went above and beyond not only checking out our car, but to give us all options and information we needed to be able to get us home. We are so thankful for their honesty, kindness, trustworthiness, and outstanding customer service. Absolutely (and very highly) recommend this auto repair shop with your car needs! Also thank you to Terri at the front desk so being so knowledgeable and helpful!
Such a friendly place and extremely knowledgeable! Only place I fully trust. They are quick to respond and have helped me through some car issues I wasn’t sure what to do about and they’ve always been right :)
I had a great experience with this service. We are from out of town and they were very honest and transparent. They diagnosed the problem for free and ended up sending us to another garage so that we would not void the warranty on the part we needed for our vehicle. Great people and service.
Helped us through a roadside challenge. While on vacation in Destin, the driver’s side windshield wiper stopped working during thunderstorms. The first place that we stopped didn’t seem to care how dangerous it was. He told us to stop back the next day.We searched on Google for a repair place close to where we were staying. We called first and explained our problem. Terri told us to come right in.It turns out that it was a recall situation in our particular car. They were able to get the part and fix it quickly for us. They were kind, friendly and very helpful.
We moved from Destin but still travel from Birmingham to have Ben and his guys care for our vehicles! Honest, dependable and wonderful in every single way! Mrs. Terri in the office calls quickly to keep you informed and is so sweet! Also, they helped me with my husbands truck when my husband was deployed and they love Veterans too which will always mean the world to us!
My Chevy Silverados AC went out on the way to Destin for a week long vacation. I walked in on Monday morning first thing and Terry was very willing to help. Ben worked on finding the problem and it was determined the truck needed an AC repair. Within two days Rhodes was able determine the problem and fix the issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation and enjoy the AC all the way home. As a bonus Rhodes Auto Repair is a Napa parts repair shop so the replacement parts have a nationwide warranty. Go where the locals go! Go to Rhodes Auto Repair. Tell Terry and Ben hello!!
Ben and Nichole Causton have done a great job following in the tradition of Rhodes Auto Repair as a local family owned business. They have worked on my Trailblazer twice since I moved here from Houston. Once a complete brake job and recently they fixed an A/C problem. Both times the work was done right the first time and I have total confidence in driving my truck anywhere. Thanks for taking care of my beach buggy.
Good people fair prices
My daughter ‘s car had an AC issue. Being from out of state,(Louisiana) I was a little apprehensive of taking it to an auto shop. The Friendliness and Professional service quickly put me at ease. I would not hesitate going to these people. Thank you soooo much for your Service!
We were from out of town on vacation and had car trouble. Rhodes was recommended by the neighbor of the home we were renting. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the shop. I was given an estimate for the problem in less than 15 minutes and the repair was done in less than 4 hours. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend Rhodes. As much as you dont want to deal with a car repair Rhodes made it very simple.
Rhodes is my families go to for all auto repair needs. The staff is friendly, helpful and honest! The service is always thorough and efficient.
I have been a customer of Rhodes for many years. They are the most honest folks and do tremendous work. I do not go anywhere else for repair work nor will I!! i cannot recommend these great people enough. i have recommended them to friends and neighbors and none have been dissatisfied. Thanks for all of your hard work and in this day and age honesty is hard to find and when you do stay with them! Thanks Rhodes
The staff at Rhodes automotive goes above and beyond. They are friendly and knowledgeable and work on imports too. I highly recommend.
Not reliable. Wouldn’t recommend.
Mr Ben left a bad review to my company out although he has never used our services, it was purely spiteful because of a negative review one of Kyle employees left his shop, after mediocre service and unprofessional treatment of our representative/ vehicle
I have been going to Rhodes for many years. They are really great! Terry, the office manager always addresses my needs quickly and they know the value of customer service and reliable repair. They have a great towing service as well! They are truly special people in the Destin community and I have tremendous respect for them and trust in their service.
Awesome! They are always very helpful and knowledgable. They really go out of their way to make sure their customers are taken care of. Ben knows his stuff!
Destin Roofing Inc. has been utilizing Rhodes for over 20 years to service and repair our fleet. Their high level of workmanship is worth the cost. They have always been fair and understanding of our crazy business schedule. We trust them implicitly with the vehicles that generate our business.
Poor customer service, lack of well trained technicians.
There is a reason Rhodes Auto Repair is the only place my family and I go to have our vehicles repaired, they are the best! Our friends at Rhodes Auto Repair, and thats truly what they are, provide the best quality service without trying to oversell unnecessary repairs.When we moved away from the area, we tried several other repair shops. We could not find the honesty, integrity and quality workmanship like we received at Rhodes Auto Repair. The end result, we came back to Rhodes. We will go nowhere else!
Old-school, long time shop tucked away in an older section of Destin. They helped me out quickly when I had a problem on vacation. Do yourself a favor, skip the national tire store repair centers in the area and go here for honest treatment and fair prices. Parents especially, if your childs vehicle breaks down over spring break, send them here. Take my word for it, Im a car guy from Detroit and Ive been around the block a few times.
Poor customer service, very untrained technicians
I went for an oil change and everyone was very friendly. Finished in no time at all.
You will receive great service from here, quality work and fair pricing - will be back
Cannot say enough about this locally owned shop!!! Honest, reliable & affordable!
We took our car to Rhodes for repair and were told they were too busy to look at the car. We are from Chicago and had some car trouble. I explained that they can have the car a few days and still didnt want the job. I was told they had 3 mechanics quit that week. Definitely not a friendly place. Then they told me the only place that can help me is in Fort Walton. What a joke. I took it around the corner and it was fixed the same day for $95 dollars. A sensor went out. Want some advice go to Dluxe in Destin!
Wonderful people and servicd Always
Ben and the whole place is extremely friendly and helpful. I found the place to take my vehicles for sure.
Ive never had dealt with Rhodes auto reapair. But I hear they are very good at mechanic work.
My actual rating would be negative stars. My family was involved in an accident while in Destin on vacation 400 miles from home. The accident was unquestionably the other drivers fault. Rhodes came to tow our van. First of all, the truck driver acted very annoyed that it took us a few minutes to unload a weeks belongings, and he certainly offered no help. The van was towed and stored at their lot for 2 days until the insurance company moved it to their holding area. SIX DAYS after the accident we received a certified letter stating that they had placed a lein on our van (which is most likely totaled). The bill for towing and 2 days storage was $400. We never received a bill and were never given any opportunity to pay and be reimbursed by insurance. So now on top of everything else we have to deal with while having our van totaled on vacation, we have to deal with the completely WRONG, unethical treatment we have received from Rhodes. If you take your business to them, you can most likely expect more of the same. Do yourself a favor and do business with a company that treats their customers with a little bit of respect because you will not get that at Rhodes.
Car repair shops like this are a dying breed: honest, dependable, and fair. This is the only place my family trusts with our cars!
There admin Terry is great!
Friendly service. Know their stuff.
We wouldnt think of using anyone else
Police officer told us to tow it to this location because there were no fees. We get here and its $50 A DAY. Of course it is Friday and they close at NOON. Extremely unprofessional.Update: now they are charging us $200 to take OUR car out of their yard. They wont accept anything but cash. Unbelievable.
Always pleasant and honest, expensive but dependable. Finally found one I trust.
I came to them without an appointment and they took care of my car!
Hypocrite Thieves
Honest people
Prompt,nice friendly,fast service
Honest and reasonable, HIGHLY recommend
Good reliable service
