Provided by YP.comTwo important necessities for me as a customer is having a good relationship with the mechanics/owner of auto shops and having the expertise to guide people correctly with their repair. Rock has gone above and beyond AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN for my daughter and I. He has worked with budgets, helped us to find solutions, educated us, and always with the best attitude and a welcoming greeting at ALL TIMES - even when we just "pop in" with some small problem and he has 30 cars waiting!!! Great shop, great work, and most of all, GREAT 'ROCK'!!! Thank you!!!!!

Provided by YPmobileTHIS MAN IS AWSOME!!!! I recently just purchased a car, and rock worked with my dealer fixed my car quickly no hassle no stress, and yesterday my check engine light came on and I took it to a shop in sarasota and they gave me so many excuses and hassle and guesses of what they thought was wrong with my car. I called rock he had my car picked up from the other horrible dealer for free and took it to his shop. I will from now on only go to him, if your car needs any kind of repair, please for your cars sake take it to rock!!!!!

Provided by YP.comThis was my experience with Aamco. On October 26th at around 7:45 am my car broke down at my home. I felt that Aamco had a national reputation I could feel comfortable with and feel like I had recourse should anything go awry. He assured me that they would look into the head gasket option and give me an estimate. Aamco also said it would need authorization for $500 to âtear it downâ I said no I wanted to talk to my friends and family. Aamco then called me back the next day (26th) to say that they had looked (ANYWAY) and quoted me $300 more to fix and have the heads machined âif they needed itâ than to install a new engine w/ a 6 mo warrantee installed. I told Aamco that I loved my car but I only paid 2400 for it and wanted a written estimate (over 3000 more than the value car) and I wasnât sure it was worth it I would have to talk to some people. Picked up the estimate Wed which only quoted the new engine plus the additional work I had told him I MAY want if I decide on the engine repair (brake pads and a portion of my exhaust being replaced). Aamco owner called me again with âso I can go ahead and order the engine it has to come from NCâ âNOâ I said again. At this point Aamcoâs manner became aggressive and demeaning. Contacted several other Aamco branches and corporate and they admitted that this was bad practice yet no one would stand up to the owner of this franchise
I have never given authorization for more than an estimate. I have not furnished any personal information other than my Name, phone number and maybe my address or whatever info was on the towing document through my insurance co. I did not authorize for him to pull the engine. He never furnished an estimate for any work other than a new engine in writing and when pressed cannot show or provide any info on the heads themselves how many are bad and to what extent as of the writing of this on 11/1/11. Never once have I signed anything or even been inside the walls of the Aamco shop.
I authorized no work - no work was done other than pulling the engine which by the mangers own admission was âhis personal decisionâ. Essentially, I am being held hostage because the manger made a bad call and now isnât capable of being professional or law abiding in regard to his business practice. I want my car back in the condition I DELIVERED it to him. There is no confidence that he will be forthright in the future. I have hired a lawyer at this point and as of this post it is still not resolved. You decide.
