★★★★★

I moved to Florida 17 years ago. I always went to the dealer for car work. Until I went to Tuffy for the first time. After dealing with Tuffy, I never went back to the dealer. No, upsell, no BS: just great service, honest estimates, and excellent work. Now I take both our cars there for service and repairs.

Great service by great people.

★★★★★

Our experiences with Tuffy’s have been very good. They provide honest assessments and repairs without trying to up self unnecessary work. Finding an honest and reliable auto shop is invaluable. Since moving here 3 years ago, we tried one other shop before Tuffy’s, and I could not trust their diagnoses and their prices were ridiculous. To be honest, for larger jobs I do check dealer prices. Tuffy’s was way less expensive on one and a little higher on another. Bottom line is I will always go to Tuffy’s first. The people are nice too.

I have been a customer for many years (over 12). In that time I have brought all my cars to them for maintenance and repair. I almost never bring my cars to the dealership for this service. This is the most honest and dependable shop in an industry not known for these values.

Oct 20, 2020 Brian H.

★★★★★

After moving from Charlotte, NC in 2013, I was looking for a shop I could trust. I was a Service Advisor for a major dealership previously so I know a good bit about cars and repair. I found Tuffy's in Bradenton to be wonderful. In all these years I've yet to have a bad experience and I will continue to bring my vehicles here when it's something I cannot fix myself.

★★★★★

Brought my car in with a screw in the tire. Asked if it could be determined if it went thru and they immediately came out and together we determined it needed to be patched. They got the car on the lift within 10 minutes and performed the patch work. No gimmicks just straight forward diagnosis and repair at quoted price. Good first experience with them as I'm new in the area.

May 28, 2020 Darla S.

★★★★★

Thanks so much for your excellent service, honesty and integrity! All of your employees are wonderful to deal with. They take the time to explain everything. Having a trusted mechanic is priceless!

Darren & Karen run a top notch auto repair center! My wife's Prius is running like since Tuffy replaced the spark plugs and did the appropriate diagnostics! Try Tuffy Bradenton for your next service. You won't be disappointed.

★★★★★

The service we received at Tuffy in Bradenton, Fl was outstanding, 5 Star! We will return for additional service and we recommend this shop to any friend who needs help. The expertise that Jayson Warren has on Honda autos was paramount regarding our Accord. He was able to identify the problem and repair it in short order. Well done Jayson.

Jul 30, 2019 Peter D.

★★★★★

Always receive great service. Staff are very knowlegeble and give great recommendations and will not sell you on services/repairs you do not need!

★★★★★

My husband and I have used Tuffy for service for over 20 years. Our car is over 18 years old. In additional to oil changes and service in the year since he died, I have been there three times. They helped me with a problem with the rear view mirror, they opened my stuck gas tank and today they changed my license plate. Never a charge for this. Thank you Tuffy. I hope that I an around for another twenty.

Great service and friendly team!

Oct 28, 2018 Steve E.

★★★★★

Very trustworthy. Have had my brakes checked there twice. The first time I needed two new brake pads, but the other brakes were fine. Went back to have them check again a few months later and they were still OK. Didn't charge me anything the second time. I highly recommend them. Many places would have told me I needed new pads and/or rotors, but these guys are truly honest and reliable.

Oct 11, 2018 Kitty B.

★★★★★

I have always loved and trusted this car repair company. I have lived in Bradenton since 2002 and I take my Tahoe to Tuffy's only, for all my service work. I have total faith in this company. The staff and owner make you feel part of the family and that they are caring for your car needs as if you were family. Thank you Tuffy's for the awesome job you just finished last night. Quite happy to have AC again.

Aug 24, 2018 Scott C.

★★★★★

I called with what I thought was a transmission problem. I explained what was wrong and they told me to bring my car in and they would take a look. Without an appointment, they test drove my car and checked the mounts and couldn't find anything wrong. It took about 20 minutes. Very nice people and they didn't charge me for their time. I will be taking my business there going forward.

★★★★★

Have been taking my vehicles to Tuffy for over 8 years! Honest service, great work, highly recommend! Thanks for great service!

Jul 28, 2018 tom b.

★★★★★

Took my car in to have brake pads replaced and rotors turned. I had just changed my tires and as the brakes had 35K miles on them I figured I would have brakes done also. Got a call from the shop and they told me I didn't need to do work. (about $300 worth) They could have just as easily changed brakes and I would have been none the wiser. GREAT doing business with honest people. I will go no where else in the future.

★★★★★

I just want to thank Jason Warren for his kind jestures of helping me and my girlfriend. Whe my car was towed to their facility Jason took us to a restaurant as my girlfriend has diabetes and it was starting to have an affect on her. He then came and picked us up and took us back to the shop. My car was not repairable. so Jason offered info to us so we could make a decision on what to do. He the took us to a Subaru dealer and we got a new car to lease. Jason, thank you for every thing you did for us.

Feb 10, 2018 Whitney W.

★★★★★

These guys always treat me with exceptional service, and only 25 and usually if you go someplace being the showing will take a vantage of you. But I’ve been going to this exact store for so many years and they always take good care of me and they talk to me and make me feel welcome to. Best thing that I’ve ever seen at a dealership. Will not be losing my business

★★★★★

This was my first time here. I was very impressed! I loved the fact I could make an appointment. The waiting room was terrific - they offered coffee and tea and water and snacks as well as reading materials, TV and wifi! In addition, the service was quick and excellent. I will definitely be coming back!

Nov 29, 2017 Irma S.

★★★★★

Love this Tuffy's and Darrell and all the guys working there! Easy to get an appointment, they're thorough and efficient and their fixes stay fixed! The new shop is clean and spacious, and the waiting room is super-comfortable. You can't find better car care than this place!

I have been to a lot of Auto repair shops in my short life, but I have not been to one that is as honest and trustworthy as Darren and his staff. I would put Darren and his staff up against any shop.

Nov 09, 2017 Robert O.

★★★★★

Received timely, professional service when my car broke down while on the road visiting relatives. Mechanic was thorough in terms of discussing what repairs were needed, making sure to keep me fully informed before doing the needed work.Not cheap, but cheaper than dealers' rates. Overall, quite satisfied.

Apr 01, 2017 Larry M.

★★★★★

I had an oil change and tire rotation done. I was in and out in less than 1 hour. The only thing I don't like is how they do tire rotation. They don't perform the recommended method of crossing the tires over from one side to the other nor do they rotate the spare in the mix.

Mar 31, 2017 Bryan H.

★★★★★

Always experienced excellent courteous and knowledgeable service over a 4 year period,, especially as I drive a different car (2003 X-Type Jaguar). Their advice has been helpful and their prices reasonable (and car runs well).

Mar 30, 2017 Gary M.

Outstanding friendly service. Using Tuffy for over 8 years. Very satisfied.

Jan 18, 2017 Rick D.

★★★★★

Took in my 2011 Sante Fe for a 75,000 mi service. Lots to do, brakes, plugs, oil change and filter, transmission fluid and filter, etc. Needed new brake rotors. Called me to tell me the rotors couldn't be turned but if I could leave the car overnight they could get rotors from a different vendor and save me serious money. Darrin, Phil and all the guys are just terrific. They do all the mechanical work properly the first time and never try to sell me anything I don't need. I been using them for over 12 years and wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.

Jan 04, 2017 Sharon S.

Everyone I have met there is wonderful and I know when I drop my car for service it is going to be done correctly and I never feel I am being taken advantage of and I over heard a conversation by Jason with a client and I was very impressed with his advice to the person and both he and Darren are wonderful.

Tuffy's put alot of effort and time into working with me on a brake issue. I appreciate all the time they took to correct my problem!

Tuffy Auto on SR 70 was been such a great place for me to take my car to. Since day one they took the time to explained repairs my vehicle needed and help me prioritize repairs and not overwhelmed me with the much needed repairs and maintenance services my vehicle needed. Thank you Tuffy for keeping my car going!

Apr 08, 2013 John & Pamela M.

★★★★★

Whenever we take our cars in for service we know they will be worked on by friendly and honest people. When going for an oil change they don't try to find ten other repairs to charge you for.
