Excellent customer service

Christine Cullison

Have been to several locations for repair work on my 1973 Corvette.........No one is in the race with Sparks!

Michael Hughes

Mr Sparks was able to both diagnose, and fix a problem, that no other mechanic, including dealerships, could understand. In four hours, they saw the problem, but others couldn?t figure out for months. I highly recommend Mr. Sparks and they are fantastic employees if you are having electrical issues with your vehicle.

Sean O?Leary

I had an alternator/battery issue and despite being booked full, they got my car in, handled the tow, replaced parts, and even came in well under the suspected quote....

Gethan D'Orleans

We took my Buick rendezvous to another shop that worked on it for two weeks and couldn?t figure it out the suggested sparks said it?s where they send people when they?re stumped especially for electrical. Sparks got out suv perfectly fixed in a week for a fair price. Very happy with their service.

George Delker

Fixed my tire, a screw was in my tire.

To the Julie and all the staff at Sparks I Couldn't be happier with the repairs completed on my 07 Silverado as I took it to another auto repair shop prior to finding Sparks and they told me to get rid of it.

Charlotte Ogg

I recently had an intermittent electrical issue with my Hyundai Genesis causing the car to lose all power on certain occasions. This was my first time using Sparks and they came highly recommended from a friend. They diagnosed the problem quickly, order the new parts and communicated with me during the process. I would highly recommend Sparks for any of your automotive repair needs.

Eric Revels

You will not find a more ethical, trustworthy, technical advanced autop truck firm -Sparks-for a thousand miles. This is a special ,very human place. I had very difficult complex,multifaceted electrical issues. A screwed up job by another garage brought me to sparks. They fixed the first set of issues then took on new issues related but different that were found . They worked on my car for three more days .They stood by their initial work and the different issues that arose. They seemed to be saying we are professional and we should have thought to test for that. They worked for three days (charging,testingetc) at no further charge. The list of what they did to my car goes on and on. They take pride in their work and their good name. They fit me in their busy schedule because my family was visiting from Canada . When Julie said ?no charge? I said that was not right or fair. I gave some cash , they gave the money I insisted they take to their staff person and charity. They are Christian or Buddhist for real. Julie the heart of the operation is the best auto diagnostician I have ever met. She will make your day go better and she has an encyclopedic knowledge of cars. As does her team. We have to support independent good people to succeed. I wrote this note because I felt so thankful that such a team still exists in our negotiating world. Sparks small, smart , caring and fun. Makes one want more world like this .

Brian Casey

The owner and Julie will take care of your mechanical issues.

This place does great work at a reasonable price, no BS and no eye gouging. They diagnose your problem, tell you how much it will cost, fix it, then call you pick up your vehicle. It's that simple.

Lena Schimmoeller (brew-n-taste)

Pat and his mechanics have worked on all my vehicles for over 30 years and I can count on them to do the repairs the best way possible.

David Dubats

This is a place you can trust. I fear going to get my car fixed because of how many times I have been completely screwed by dealerships and even privately owned places. However, this place does not fall into that category. The people are so nice and the price breakdown was so reasonable. I took my VW Beetle in to get the AC charged and to get it looked at to see if anything needed fixing. They found a nail in my tire and patched it up, oil change, wiper blades, and did a free break inspection and tire rotation. I will definitely go back again!!

Natalie Forrest

Amazing!!!!! I?m new to this state and everyone I talked to said take your vehicles to Sparks. They will never cut corners. They only use the best parts. Julie who is the service manager is worth her weight in gold. Job well done Sparks

Sparks is not only in a great location the service was spectacular. The mechanics explained everything in detail the service manager met with me and took care of both of my vehicles. Highly recommend.

David Barrow

Great customer service! I will forever be a customer. My first experience with Sparks was when I brought my Buick Encore in because my Entertainment System went black...I took it to the local Buick dealership first and they said I needed a whole new system at a cost of $1,400. Sparks was able to quickly fix it within minutes at a cost of $36.00!

Mark Coarsey

I called to see how their schedule was and told her my brakes were making a funny sound. I also asked a friend if she had any suggestions,the friend replied since your car has been sitting for awhile the brakes can settle. I told Julie on the phone that and she said yes that's true then told me how to check for a locked caliber., giving me some good info which I really appreciated! So when I do need repairs, that's where I'm going

Anthony P.

Had some front end issues on the road heading to south FL and had to stay overnight and find a shop in the morning that could replace tie rod ends and ball joints.

Bringing my vehicle to sparks was the best decision. They did a fantastic job on the services I needed done, and the service manager Julie made sure I was taken care of properly. She kept me informed every step of the way, and detailed everything so we both understood and were on the same page. If you have a problem or need something done with your car/truck, you will be in good hands at sparks.

sean smith

Tried Sparks for the first time as they came highly recommended and they surely did not disappoint. They were quick to schedule my appointment, did a thorough job with an oil change, tire rotation and alignment as well as having let me know it was time to change my cabin air and engine filters. The service was completed rather quickly and everyone was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back for future services.

My Chevy 2003 van had a intermittent electrical problem that effect my O2 sensors. Pat thought they had it figured out and it ran fine. But the problem came back. Pat took the van back and the Sparks team took a few days to chase down the pesky wire issue and fix it. Pat did not charge for the extra troubleshooting time. Intermittent issues are tough to chase down. Thanks Pat !

The chief mechanic has a wall full of certifications and is an expert on safety and all aspects of auto repair even got a great deal on a new set of tires - the best auto repair co. I have ever seen 100 percent confidence in them I had neglected earlier repairs I am lucky to have found them.

Bernard Silver

Electrical Services, near Sarasota, Florida

Sparks accepted to do electrical work on my rare 1973 Volvo P1800 ES. Julie, the service manager, is courteous and well qualified. She asked all the right questions prior to appointment and kept in touch during the arduous search for the problem. I was allowed to talk with the mechanics when they had difficulty finding a nonstock park needed. The mechanics were were technically proficient and polite. The company was patient while I ordered parts. A few days after the work was done and I had picked the car up, Patrick gave me a follow up call. In short, the people at Sparks, admin, mechanics and owner, are all professionals and I highly recommend the company.

Harmon Heed

Great customer service. Explained all needed repairs and my car was ready at the time promised.

Brent Hays

General Services, near Bradenton, Ontario, Canada

Absolutely thrilled with Sparks! Down here on vacation and started having car problems. Sparks was recommended by our Napa affiliate in Ontario. The owner Patrick, through communication with our mechanic back home, figured out the parts were still under warranty. Cost to us was negligible. Fantastic customer service! Also a shout out to Dominic for great customer service also!

Lynne M.

Very friendly, welcoming, honest & they care about you! They back up their work, clean shop, know what their doing, good reliable mechanics! Being from Canada and to be able to find such a trusting mechanic/shop in a state/country where we did not know anybody....... Very lucky we were! And having the owner Patrick on site everyday & taking pride in his shop tells you something! I definitely rate Sparks a 5!

Patti Bier

The Best!!! Full Service, Integrity, Friendly Atmosphere. I don't go anywhere else. Patrick and his staff take the best care of your vehicle. 5 OUT OF 5 RATING WITH ME.
