Automotive Concepts - Fort Myers, Florida

I paid Paul at Automotive Concepts to replace a screen in my car, he was also paid through my dealership warranty. 9 months later he still has not done the repair. For 9 months he has avoided me and ignored my calls. He has refused to refund my money and wanted to charge me again for “restocking fees”. I would advise against using this mechanic for anything. He is not professional and will charge you for work he doesn’t intend to do.

I have been having a hard time finding a good auto repair shop/mechanic and I just happen to stop by at Automotive Concepts since it was affiliated with my extended warranty through CarMax. I am so happy I did! Paul was great! Very professional, respectful and knowledgeable. I work a few minutes down the road from the shop and he was nice enough to drop me off at work while they worked on my car. For something that other dealerships told me would take days and I would have to leave my car overnight, he did it all in a few hours. He even brought my car back to me!!!! I am extremely grateful and now you have another loyal customer! I would DEFINITELY recommend Automotive Concepts. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Paul is phenomenal. I purchased a tri-fold truck topper for my Honda Ridgeline online. I called around to several auto places to see if they would install, but they all turned me away because I didn't purchase the topper from them. Finally, I called Automotive Concepts, Paul took the call and made me feel at ease. He told me he would get it done, and he did. Friendly, honest, reliable. I will be using Paul again in the future.

La peor experiencia en mi vida pagué por una pieza que nunca pusieron en mi camioneta esta fue la pieza que según compraron no es ni compatible tenía que estar llamando para preguntar para cuando estaría lista la camioneta y nunca contestaron lo mejor que pude hacer quitarles la camioneta y volver a pagar ya que no pudieron hacer nada solo estafar

This was the worst experience I've ever had in my life. The arrogance and the lack of knowledge is completely unbelievable. I had bought direct fit headers that I spend extra money on to connect to my x-pipe system that I had just put on a few months before. When I went to pick up the car he completely changed the exhaust system to straight pipes. I was livid he said he couldn't get it to work. Which is a complete lie!!! He just arrogant and just does what he wants to do. And charged me $2,000 more than what we agreed on. He cut the cable to the starter because he couldn't unscrew it. Then he drilled a hole in my block to make the starter to work. The car was so loud I couldn't even drive it. When I questioned him on it he just started yelling and acting like a moron. I took it straight to another mechanic to fix it properly and cost me another $1,500. To put it back to the way it was. Now a year later I come to find out he took off the valve covers and timing chain cover to put the headers on. But he used silicone to put it back together instead of the proper gaskets because he was being cheap and arrogant. Because of that I have a major oil leaks and it's going to cost me $5850 to repair. My alternator is soaked with oil and that's just started giving me trouble. You owe me $7350. For making changes that were not asked for and causing major oil leaks on my car so I can get it repaired properly. If you decide to ignore me I will be getting a lawyer and I also will be putting this post everywhere. You do not deserve to be in business!!! You have 3 days to respond otherwise I'm getting my lawyer and I'm going to sue you for a lot more than the 7850!!!! Plus my alternator!!!!! And I want the 2000 back that you overcharge me. Totaling $9850 plus my alternator.

Highly recommend this company. I’m new to Fort Myers. Paul and his team took the time to “correctly” diagnosed the problem and not just change out parts. It was the third time that my air conditioning had gone bad and he has been the only company that has been willing to fix this and not overcharge me for unreasonable or unneeded parts, etc. AAA +

Great place,

My transmission gave out on a Saturday and Paul (I believe that’s his name) came and Limped my car over to his shop for me FREE of charge.

My car was ready to go by Monday for a reasonable price. He also didn’t try to over charge me for a new battery or anything like that. Just straight to the point.

I recommend this place for anyone in the area!
