Brandon Auto Repair

Thank you to Clarke Automotive for taking care of us and fixing a low transmission fluid problem that another local mechanic messed up on! The kindness and care that you showed to us really meant a lot and helped ease our worries!

I just moved into town and was looking for an honest and dependable mechanic. I found Clarke Auto on Angie's list and chose them because they had stellar reviews. I called for an oil change and was given a same day appointment on a Saturday afternoon by Mr. Clarke himself. I showed up and they did a great job. No upsells or gimmicks! They also went the extra mile by suggesting a few things to help extend the life of my car. I will definitely go back to Clarke and would recommend them to anyone who wants good work from honest and kind people.

I could give a zero I would. I suggested my husband come to this place because he was having transmission problems with his car and this shop was closest to his job. BIG MISTAKE! I called Friday at about 5:16 p.m. to see what was going with the car, he said oh he has SOME metal in his transmission so we are going to do a flush and pray it rides fine. Eight minutes later he calls my husband and tells him that his car is junk and he should just get rid of it but they was gonna do a flush...that is not what you JUST told me 8 minutes ago. So Saturday we are prepared to bring the car home and the whole time this man, Bob Clarke is trying to get us to go to Toyota to buy a car or sale my husband's car to the junk man. We paid and took the car to my husband's mechanic to not only find out that there was no diagnostic testing done but that Bob Clarke NEVER did a flush on the car and the fluid was DIRTY. Basically his mechanics just topped new fluid with oil fluid. My husband called Bob today with his mechanic on the phone and he basically lied to my husband and his mechanic. I want all my money back because this doesn't make sense. If you didn't know how or didn't want to fix that car, that is all that needed to be said. I can't believe him...smh

If you value customer service, best value and honesty, I highly recommend you consider Clarke's Automotive for all of your car maintenance. I normally do all my own maintenance but I recently had an coolant overflow issue with my 06 Tacoma and all of the Forums suggested diagnostic tests and high levels of maintenance that I did not posses. Clarke's executed these diagnostic tests...and to my dismay, a head service was recommended.....with a quote of $3K+....double ouch! During the disassembly process, they discovered that my water pump had a crack and instead of just adding that to cost and continue to throw a kitchen sink at the problem, they decided to change out the water pump and re-administer the diagnostic tests. Turns out this was the issue and they saved me saved me $2K+!!!!

Great customer service and fair prices. Bob and Matt are excellent people.

This place has very competent mechanics. Also, the Clarkes never try to sell you work your car doesn't need at that time. Many times they have told me that something could wait a little longer. Their prices are reasonable. I completely trust this business. That is not something I feel about most businesses.

My main mechanic for years now once again they come through for me. Wife's car broke down when I left town for family emergency. Car towed to shop and repaired very timely getting her back on road . Also allowing my inputs to get job done and save money at my time of need... None Better !

First rate automotive maintenance advice and services. Skillful, honest, and meet their commitments. The type of auto shop that we all wish we had access to.

Had my car checked out for new insurance, they were quick and easy to deal with, especially for a Saturday without an appointment.

Hands down the best auto repair shop I have ever done business with. They are fair, honest, responsive, and respectful. Aside from their competitive and transparent pricing, their team always goes the extra mile to explain their perspectives on both the repair options and overall ongoing maintenance plan for each vehicle they service. I recommended several people to this shop and they all were impressed by the level of service provided. They will service my vehicles for life!
