I have taken my very old Camry and my daughter's very old Lexus to Capital City Auto Repair based on the Google reviews I found online when our normal mobile auto repair man was too busy to take care of our cars. The most detailed breakdown of car needs and repairs is sent via email along with a call where they go over all items needing repair. Since my daughter and I both have old cars, the breakdown was specific to things vitally needing repair all the way down to items that should be replaced or repaired based on regular upkeep recommendations (e.g., the cabin air filter). After getting the first estimate for my daughter's car, my mobile repair man checked the list out and said it is fair, so I went ahead with the repairs. While the repairs weren't cheap, they were fair in today's market and done quickly. I do recommend this shop for auto repair needs, even on cars that are 19 to 20 years old.
David was amazing to say the least. He provided great customer service by providing a detailed explanation of the issue and worked tirelessly until 11pm on my car to get me on the road. He was incredibly fair with the price of the repairs and the labor hours he put in. David is one of the realest dude I’ve met in Tallahassee. Going anywhere else for any car issues would be a disservice to myself
I received excellent service at Capital City Auto Repair. The owner, Dave, is very personable and he took the time to explain everything. I found him to be honest, passionate, and committed to excellence. His pricing is fair and quite frankly, he saved my life. He was able to identify faulty work done by another shop in town that could have ended disastrously for me. He identified and fixed the problem in less than a day. Speaking form my experiences of walking into repair shops as a woman, it is rare to find an honest and fair mechanic who does not try to get over on you. I would recommend Capital City Auto to anyone.
David was absolutely amazing! He provided great customer crevice and worked tirelessly to diagnose the problem for an emergency tow on my old car. He stayed up late working (until 10pm) on my car to get me on the road and was the sweetest guy. He was incredibly fair with the price of the repairs and the labor hours he put in. Thank you David!
Replaced my back 3 engine coils and an o2 sensor and some more stuff at this shop. David was absolutely phenomenal he got all the work done on my car SO QUICK and was so helpful in explaining everything and breaking down the price for me. I highly recommend this shop.
I came here around August to get my A/C fixed and I remember Andrew was really great! Got everything handled and fixed in an exceptional amount of time. I was super excited to come back thinking I would receive the same service and It was the complete opposite. I dropped my vehicle off at 9am with Randy and was told that If I left it there they would be able to look at it. They don't answer the phone all day, cell nor shop number. It was 3pm and I still hadn't heard anything from them in regards to my vehicle. I went back to the shop and my car was in the same spot I left it. The lady at the front told me she couldn't tell me what was wrong with it because she doesn't know about cars, but she assured me it had been diagnosed. I left with the thought that they had at least diagnosed my car. I still hadn't heard anything at around 5pm (they close at 6pm) this led me to go up there again. Now the lady is rudely stating that she's not sure if they looked at my vehicle because there was another jeep similar to mine there. I just asked them for my keys back because at that point I didn't even want to do business with them. They're confused, looking for my keys and trying to figure out who checked me in. Randy comes in and they're asking me is this the man that checked me in I said yes. He said he doesn't remember, I filled out paperwork with him and all. Everyone started looking for my keys. Randy finally found them in another jeep that they were working on! I wouldn't trust them with my car at all. Customer Service was TERRIBLE! The way this situation was handled was TERRIBLE! They were very disrespectful, unprofessional, and rude. When Andrew was there, I probably would've recommended this shop but I would not recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money with people who are respectful and do good business!
This shop does incredible work. I've always brought my car there since I came to Tallahassee, and they have done excellent work on two different cars I've owned. One 2004 Ford Taurus, and one 2007 Subaru Outback. This time, David and Ben both did some work on my Subaru Outback wagon after a transmission seal broke. They and I all agreed that it was time to do some more extensive maintenance on the engine as well.
I had no doubts that David would do a great job getting everything running the way it should, but I was still amazed by just how thorough and precise he was. The fuel efficiency has dramatically improved, the trademark fluid leaks most Subarus have are completely gone now, and in general the car performs so much better it almost seems impossible. So far, I have had no issues with any work they've ever done for me.
And I've never seen the engine of a 14-year-old daily-driven car look so clean. Certainly never a car I've owned. He got every speck of buildup off of every part I can see, and when he showed me his progress partway through, I saw that even the parts that can't be seen now looked brand new. He even replaced clamps, hoses, and fasteners that had been missing or incorrectly placed since before I got this car.
After extensive work on the motor, timing belt, transmission seals, power steering, and numerous other components, they got in touch to ask if they should go ahead and replace the old worn brake pads in the front, and the bad battery. Since they were doing so much more already, they worked out a good deal and I told them to go ahead. It was done a few minutes later, and I can't recommend this shop enough. It's absolutely the only place I want to take my car for engine repairs.
It helps to go talk to them in person. They're all great people and they love what they do. They really care about doing the best work you can get.
I knew this place was going to be good from the amazing reviews, but I had no idea how good! This being my first visit, I had no idea what to expect. As soon as I pulled in David was immediately ready to help me with whatever I needed. I needed a belt replaced and he was able to do this in about 5 minutes flat! I've never seen an employee work as quick and as clean (with great bedside manner as well) at any other shop. He also went above and beyond after learning that I would be taking a long trip, and checked my fluid levels and tires as well. To top it off, he gave me the best deal I could ever imagine since it only took 5 minutes! ALL the other places I called told me it would take 1.5 hours and cost $78 bucks, but he quoted me 30 minutes and $40 bucks. And it was even cheaper and quicker than that! I have never had a better experience; I had to immediately go home and write a great review. You will not regret choosing this auto repair place over all others, I promise. David is absolutely magnificent and I could not have been more surprised at how he could turn a financial/time crunch into a great experience. Great job, David!
