He installed incorrectly. Kinked and did not properly install a fuel hose. To this day I have a dangerous fuel leak. Recommends work that does not need to be done. Very expensive.

They were able to work on the car immediately after calling them. They fixed the problem quickly and professionally.
Description of Work: They plugged a tire with a nail in it. They also diagnosed a problem with our external air pump blowing fuses in the car. They relearned our tire positions for our electronic air pressure monitoring in the car.

Description of Work: Generally satisfied, but the car repairs on my second visit took almost a week longer than promised. The second visit was to cure the leaking fluids issue, and they were not receiving additional payment. Cost of repairs seemed high, and a second recommended procedure was equally expensive. I may or may not return, haven't yet decided.

The whole experience was very nice and professional..
Description of Work: We brought our Cadillac in with a brake warning indicator light on. Gregg quickly diagnosed the problem and also pointed out that other fluids were in need of replacement. He flushed the brakes system and replaced the fluid. We also changed the oil. power steering fluid, and transmission fluid. We also asked for an overall inspection. We really appreciated his advice and expertise. We highly recommend him to others.

Thank you [member name removed] for your review. We try to always forewarn out clients of problems that are brewing so that they are not taken by surprise. Some times our cost are a little higher. Part of that is because by using quality parts we are able to provide our clients with our exclusive 36,000 mile or 36 month NATIONWIDE warranty. Gregg

Kudos to Greggs for being honest with us and for suggesting checking for leaks to see if there was a problem, and understanding what might be causing the problem. They recharged the air conditioning, installed leak detector dye. It works fine so far. As a result, before starting to "make repairs" (and charging us) for something that might not be a problem, they took a first step of trying to identify the problem. This was excellent customer service! This is a classic car and Greggs handle the situation and the repair very well. We are very satisfied and will return to them when we do need any repair work. The folks that we dealt with were very friendly, communicated the issues very well and did a professional job.
Description of Work: Installed coolant with dye to check for leaks. Provider suggested Followup over time to see if leakage was occurring. Six months later the system is working well.

They were very professional and did all the work promptly. From the office to the mechanic the personnel were all friendly & easy to work with. We were very please with the outcome. My husband has a background in automotive repairs & maintenance and he is always skeptical when choosing who will work on our cars. We have found our shop!

We chose not to let this repair shop do the work because we don't want to leave our vehicles outside overnight in a city. When we called for an appointment we said we'd accept any opening the repair shop wanted us to come. We feel Greggs should not make an appointment to fix (or even give an estimate of work) unless the vehicle can be seen within that day! The BMW? Greggs people never phoned us to tell us what was what with our car. We went to Greggs to retrieve our car and took it to a BMW dealer many miles away for the safety check.
Description of Work: This was the second time we went to Greggs Auutomotive in 2 months. (The first time was just for an estimate for new brakes on a Toyota Sienna that was in our family. He said he could look at it one day, but had to keep it overnight. The estimate was too high, so our family member brought her van to another repair place.) So we thought we'd give Greggs another chance. We brought in our BMW for a safety check because we were planning a long trip. Same thing: stay overnight before car would be looked at. Sorry, two times of making appointments but having to leave car overnight was not acceptable.

Response from Greggs Automotive Maintenance & Repair Center
Dear [member name removed], Thank you for trying us and I certainly do apologize for not performing up to snuff. As we are a small shop with only 2 available racks sometimes a job ties up a lift for longer than we can anticipate. As for keeping the vehicle inside we certainly make those accommodations even if we have to leave another vehicle outside. Punta Gorda is a very safe city and we have never had any acts of vandalism or theft in the last 22 years. If I remember correctly one of our techs had a closing on his new home and had to leave early 2 days in a row. This was not expected and it did push us back. We try very hard to get all of our appointments in and out on in the same day. I am very sorry that we were not able to accommodate you and the fact that it happened to you twice is horrible. Rest assured that we will have a staff meeting to make sure that this does not happen again. Once again please accept my most sincere apologies for not living up to our reputation. Respectfully yours, Gregg Marrapodi

I brought in my van for an oil and filter change. It was a busy place. They wrote down my instructions and when the work was finished I had a complete 3 page written list of all the parts they used, the labor involved, but more importantly and vital to me as a lady was the details on what was needed. For example, my transmission fluid and filter need to be changed at this time in my van's life, the radiator hoses are worn and need to be replaced when a radiator flush is done, and my battery has a post that is loose so that needs to be replaced, and the brake rotors have just 2 mm left on them so the brakes need to be done. I found this detailed list valuable when I see my favorite mechanic in North Carolina (I'm just visiting Florida). I highly recommend this place.
Description of Work: I asked that they change oil and filter, and check brakes for safety. This service provider went above and beyond expectations and gave a complete review of everything needed at this time on my Toyota Sienna van.

Thank you for your review. It's hard to look like the big guys when your in a 2 bay gas station built in 1949, but we have the highest grade of computer diagnostics and data bases for accurate and complete repairs. Unfortunately having access to multiple data bases is becoming more costly thus forcing us to charge a little more. But fixing it the first time is always cheaper than fixing it 2 or 3 times.

Dear [removed members name], Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We try extremely hard to make our clients time with us as stress free as possible. This is why we provide courtesy shuttles to both work or homes. As for our service that is what makes us different. Not only do we use only quality parts we offer an 18,000 mile or 18 month nationwide warranty as well as our 24 month 24,000 mile in house warranty. We can only do that if we are allowed to make the decisions concerning the parts and our qualified techs. Once again thank you for using us and Angies List. Sincerely, Gregg Marrapodi

These guys were awesome! They fixed everything on my husbands truck and didn't over charge. They were thourgh and very professional. The work was done when they said it would be and they even picked me up at my home to get the truck. They even gave me a carnation! I would use these guys everytime I need a repair. Found them on Angies list since we are new to the area. Thanks Angies List and also to Greggs Automotive!

Gregg's Automotive was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: After getting a long list of repairs for our 2002 Civic from the local Honda dealer, I took our car to Gregg's. They did a through check of the car and repair the items that needed repairing. They found that a couple of major repairs indicated by the Honda dealerhship did not need repairing; saving us money.

[member name removed], Thank you once again for your continued support of us. I feel that opening the door of communication and being perfectly honest and frank is the key to all successful business'. Sometimes we may not have the best news but it is always true and the best possible mix of expense and safety. This industry has been given such a black eye for so many years and many times there is a severe lack of trust. We go out of our way to provide that trust, and it is client's like yourself that help us keep on going. Sincerely, Gregg
