I'm so grateful to Techniauto for fixing my car's electrical system. They solved the problem quickly and completely. Cost was extremely reasonable. Other car mechanics in my area have been disappointing--they failed to fix the problem (and created new ones) and charged exorbitantly. Techniauto is professional, skilled, polite--everything I look for. Thank you, Angie's List, for letting me know about these great mechanics!

It's a car service business but without the facilities most places have - just a room with tools. No pit, no lifts, not much electronic equipment. A very sparse room for an auto repair facility. I purchased a package of services, the young man who dealt with me didn't seem too aware of the package. I have no complaints but I'm also not sure I'd return. I wrote a review. It never got posted, now Al pesters me every time I log in, so I'll write another. I bet it doesn't get posted.

Fernando and his staff are out of this world. They work extremely hard to make sure that you are completely satisfied. They went well beyond what was required and were easy to deal with. I am very mechanical, and i can tell you that these guys really know their stuff. 30 years fixing German vehicles. I later had them repair a BMW and they coordinated the repair with the local dealer to see if there was any relief from the warranty on an expensive repair. They sent it over to the dealership, had it analyzed, saved me a bundle and then brought it back to his shop so that I could conveniently pick it up. I was floored. In another instance, they drove something that i had left in the car over to my office to save me time. They are absolutely unbelievable in their level of service. Highly Recommend. You will absolutely be satisfied. Sincerely, Bob Miller

I was surprised that I got no message on Angie's List with a time for this oil change and 27 point inspection. I needed this done and am thankful that I was able to have it done today. The people were very nice and I am very sure that they do very good work.
Description of Work: Oil Change and 27 point inspection for my car. I also had them change my brake fluid for about $100.00, Originally they (Techniauto LLC) were supposed to let me know when to bring in my car. (I had purchased a coupon for the oil change via Angie's List on April 16th) I was supposed to get a time on or before April 18th, 2014. This never happened so I phoned Angie's List and was given Techniauto"s phone number & called them. I asked for 3 PM today (4-22-14) they said I could get this service so I did.

I called them regarding scheduling availability prior to purchasing the big deal. They allowed me to schedule the appointment and then they applied the deal. Everything turned out fine. I went in and they found something else wrong. They fixed the joint on the axel of my vehicle the same day as I had the oil change scheduled. While they were fixing the part they offered me a vehicle to drive and to drop me off at a coffee shop so I did not have to wait at the the service center.

We purchased a used Jeep Liberty for my fiance in advance of her move to Florida. She came down for a few days to pick it up, and she drove it home from the dealership with no problem. The next time we went to drive it, the engine ran very rough and it almost died every time we stopped at a light. She took it to a nearby shop (Techniauto) the following day. We both had misgivings about what we would find. Imagine our surprise when she arrived at the shop and received a very reasonable quote for what we believed was going to be a somewhat major repair. She was told it was going to take a few hours and run about $800 due to the extensive disassembly required to address the problem. During her wait, she encountered several other customers that stopped by the shop. They all raved about how great this shop was, and shared their own story about why they were loyal customers. A little while later, one of the gentlemen came out to let my fiance know that it wasn't going to be as involved as he thought and they could fix the problem with fewer parts and in less time. She walked out for less than $400. There aren't many places that will put you out the door for half of what they quoted you. We've been back twice more for small things (once for her car, once for mine), and had a similar experience both times. Give these guys a chance...we've had great experiences and the other customers that came through the shop sound like they have, too. It's a small shop, but they seem to do good work, and it's hard to put a price on honesty and integrity!
Description of Work: Fixed my fiance's vehicle - for less than the original estimate!

The mechanics in Boca Raton Florida are sammers and I was the recepient of them taking me, and quot; through the ringer.and quot; We decided to take a different approach and try Angie List. It was the best decision we ever made! Techniauto mechanic Fernando is not only knowledgeable, affordable but also has a very good heart. He will go the extra mile to meet your needs. We plan to use him for all our mechanical needs with our cars. I highly recommend Fernando to our friends and anyone who is in need of a trustworthy mechanic. Thank you, Angie List!!

First time in Boca Raton needing auto service. Was sure I would be in for a less than pleasant experience. Expected a laundry list of age (100,000 miles) related good ideas for things that just had to be fixed. Nice people. Couldn't have been a nicer or more satisfying experience.
Description of Work: Unusual noise in my 2007 Dodge Nitro with 100,000 miles. Fernando did the computer analysis and found the main belt needed replacement. Suggested replacing worn belt tensioners at the same time. Changed the oil and air filter. Picked up the car when promised.

It went terrible. Read above.
Description of Work: Made two attempts at front end wheel alignment and they messed that up. Car still pulled to the right. Car also had a gas exhaust leak, they changed out two valves that cost over $200 and the car still exhibits a gas exhaust leak and upon inspection by another auto service center, it was discovered that the gas tank cap was the cause of the leak, not the 2 valves that Techniauto changed out. Techniauto does not know what they are doing. They are deceitful, unprofessional and perform poor quality work. Would never recommend them to anyone.

I needed some work done on my A/C. It stopped working and the AC belt started smoking a little. I spoke with Sylvia on the phone and was able to be seen right away.After a thorough discussion I agreed to the work that was described and the price. Sylvia did ask if there was a $ amount that was ok to spend for checking the A/C for leaks and filling with coolant. I said it was ok to charge for up to an hours worth of work for diagnosing the problem, as this was crucial to figure out what was wrong with the car.They arranged a ride to take me to work while I waited for the car.They were finished the next day and the A/C runs nice now.Im going to be using them for my Dodge Grand Caravan next!

The service was performed correctly and I can not anything bad about the overall service but the prices are well outside of a decent margin
Description of Work: The promotion was for Oil Change at $19.99. They found that in one car the Poller Air filter need replacemen and they charged $55 for it. In my other car they replace the air Engine filter and they change another $55 for it. later I found each one cost around $15. therefore the labor on each was $40 which is extremely overchanged!!

My experience at Techniauto has been superb. The owner, Fernando, is knowledgeable, professional, pleasant and highly customer-oriented. He performs much of the work himself, communicates clearly with customers and provides prompt and courteous service. The office is staffed by particularly pleasant and efficient personnel. Prices are quite reasonable. I returned there recently with a new, minor issue. Fernando interrupted his work to take a quick look and resolved the problem within five minutes. That's an experience I've never had before!
Description of Work: Techniauto offered an attractive price for an oil change. In performing this work the technician found that my cabin and engine filters needed replacement (he showed me one of them for verification) and offered to order the parts and install them at a later date. Again, this work was quoted at a fair price.

Excellent service at a most reasonable price. The car is running very well.
Description of Work: Fernando was very professional and informed us of each step before proceeding. He saved us $65.00 by not changing our wiper blades. He told us to go to Sears, as their prices were much lower. We did and he was correct. We were so pleased w/the quality of service, we recommended Fernando to several friends. Also, the receptionist was most helpful, warm and welcoming. She is bilingual, a plus in southern Florida.

From start to finish everything was to my expectations and costs and estimates were well communicated.
Description of Work: I have two German cars. I brought my Jetta to Fernando previously and he did a great job at an honest price (had the timing belt changed) - hard to find that in a mechanic these days. Recently i brought my Jetta in for a mater cylinder change, fan replacement and oil change. As soon as i picked up the Jetta I dropped of my Audi for brake change and oil change. He is not a pushy mechanic - just matter of fact. He gave me a list of other repairs that may be needed and also the price for the repairs. It is a family run business and I much rather support small business owners (I also own a small business) I believe he specializes in Audi and VW vehicles but I would not hesitate to bring my other American cars to him for repairs and maintenance.

I spoke to Fernando on the phone to obtain an estimate, prior to arriving at his shop. When he told me that he was passionate about Audis, I became intrigued by the opportunity of having Fernando work on my vehicle. He is very professional and very personable. The work was done on my car in a timely manner. It was determined by Fernando that I would need to replace three engine mounts and replace part of my suspension system. Both items would be covered under my extended warranty and Fernando arranged with the insurance company to get the work done and to obtain a rental car for me at Enterprise. All of the work was performed on my car within two days. Up until now, I had always had mechanical servicing done on my car at an Audi dealership. The work had never been performed as quickly and as inexpensively before. I will always return to Techniauto for future maintenance and repair work for my 2006 Audi.
