Auto Tech And Body

We are so glad that we found a mechanic we can trust. They are efficient and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful with what ever your needs may be.

I have been using Auto Tech and Body for four years now. They keep my Lexus and my wife’s Lexus in tip top condition. I just had my wife’s car repaired due to an accident and the car looks and drives like new. I referred my father to Auto Tech and Body and he came back raving about their service and quality of work. I am glad that my family and I found the right mechanic shop and body shop that we feel comfortable with. This place will continue to have my business.

Excellent business. Great service and they do great work. Been going to them for years and have never been disappointed. I have recommended friends and family and they also now love this business. Knowing this business, I can’t imagine why there are any negative reviews at all– always 2 sides to a story. I highly, highly recommend Auto Tech & Body.

Just as a followup to my last review. Got the car home and nothing was fixed. Still the same problems. They are useless. I caution anyone bringing their car to them.

TERRIBLE SHOP, DO NOT WORK WITH TERRY. This place is the biggest ripoff ever. A sales rep by the name of Terry lied about a price and charged me more than we agreed upon, $ 150 more. When I returned to see if this was a mistake they basically told me too bad, and then i was screamed at for even questioning their superiority. DO NOT WORK WITH TERRY, or use Auto Tech and Body if u want to enjoy week. Jay the owner of the shop called me to rectify the situation and unlike the upper echelon shop owner he portrays himself to be had no solution as too why i was told the job would cost $ 220 and it wound up being charged as $ 370. I asked him to refund the $ 150 and he said «they aren’t in business to refund peoples money» … TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. I recommend you find another shop.

This place is a rip off! Beware before leaving your car with them! Left my vehicle so they can tell me how much is going to be to fix it, after 5 minutes they told me that the cost of fixing will be maybe $ 500, maybe more. I decided not to do it with them for this price. Once ready to leave, they gave me the bill for $ 108 for «diagnostics» they say — but they didn’t do anything, they only connected a computer to the car for 5 min and gave me their estimate, why does this cost $ 108??? They never notified me that it will cost me to get an estimate!!! They would not let my car go unless I paid the bill. Also, if I payed for «diagnostics» they never told me exactly what’s wrong with the car, if I’m paying for this, I believe I am entitled to know what needs to be done, for my $ 108 they told me only how much it would cost to fix it with them, and even so they told me that it could run more than $ 500 in repairs. They can’t give you an exact price to fix, they don’t tell you what’s wrong, they only know how to take your money and not give you the car unless you pay them for nothing. SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMERS!!! STAY AWAY.

AFTER 4 years of being ripped off by these people we stopped going!!!
Auto Tech would rant and rave about how «nice’ our vehicles are BUT could BEVER fix the 100% correctly the 1^st time!!!
Auto Tech NEVER, IN 4 YEARS, FIXED ANYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!
They did our Saabs and Lexus’s. Our other 5 vehicles are still under warranty so they go to the dealer!!!
ALWAYS had to bring them back because they were NOT fixed correctly the first time!
I am a YOUNG retiree (30)& winter in Florida. I started to going to them based on their AAA approval… I have NO idea what AAA is thinking!!! I will NEVER take any of my FLORIDA vehicles there again!!!
Thank god my most technologically advanced vehicles are all kept in other places where I have SOLID mechanics &/​or are covered under warranty!!!
Good bye& good luck Auto tech!!!

If you end up taking your car to this horrible body shop make sure that you leave then an open check book and they’ll be your best friend. I took my car there after it was hit by a truck and t was therefor approximately 6 months or more. In those 6 months the manager that made me 1,000 promises conveniently no longer worked there anymore. By the time I got my car back, there were all sorts of problems. They did a horrible job lining panels back up, under the hood looks like a ghetto swap shop mechanic was working on it. There was and still is stick tacky gunk all over the inside and outside of my car. They hacked my suspension apart, it drives crooked, my hood literally only opens half way (check pics I posted on their Unilocal page) they cut parts that I paid good money for, but the biggest bother is how my passenger side fender was very obviously crooked and they (JAY THE OWNER HIMSELF) said VERY bluntly it was because they weren’t getting paid as much to work on my car (which was covered by insurance through an accident) which was $ 40 per hour as opposed to the $ 90 they were getting paid to work on the car parked next to mine. My favorite part is how they really have a hard time understanding English over the phone but when I did complain, they didn’t do anything and when I told them I was going to need to take action she said «it’s a free country». Hey guys if you’re gonna cry that the insurance companies aren’t paying you enough try crying to them or pick a different business! Don’t rip people off!

This place is awesome. The customer service that I received from JR. And team was above and beyond. My car needed a new bumper and the total job took less than 2 days and my car looks like nothing ever happened. If you want a body shop you can trust this is the right place.

Estimated $ 750 for a $ 250 repair for a simple cracked bumper on a 2013 Sentra. Ridiculous. Avoid at all costs.

Took a Maserati in for a pre-​purchase inspection (PPI) and came away with a very disappointing experience. Although I had been assured that they were familiar with this make and model and could perform the PPI, it became painfully apparent after the fact that they did not know what they were doing. They even missed the most basic fact that this had a dry sump engine and that oil should be measured with the engine running. When I got the car home, I found that the engine had at least two quarts too much in it. (I am not accusing Auto Tech of putting the extra oil in, just that they should have caught this most basic of issues. Especially since they told me that they checked all fluid levels.) There were other issues as well, including missing that the reverse shifter was broken and needed a new shifter fork assembly, and also not having a scan tool to measure the remaining life of the clutch.
I am not giving Auto Tech a 1-​star rating because the staff is friendly and professional and I believe can adequately handle non exotic cars. However, the PPI they performed for me was a complete waste of money.

Jay and his crew are the best in the business. I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my car.

I’ve had body repairs done here and their work is phenomenally good! Their customer service is the best in the business and something to be modeled after. Calls with progress reports, work completed on time and follow up calls to make sure you’re satisfied. Jay and Chadia are caring business owners that truly love what they do as it shows in every aspect. I have recommended friends and they too have been satisfied and I recommend you try them too!

I was involved in a minor car accident and just wanted to stop by the closest auto shop to make sure my car was drivable back to home. Auto tech turned out to be right down the road. Being already shaken up and stressed about what just happened, I was looking for a quick yes or no answer. The staff was prompt and helpful. They got my car in immediately and checked it over, and did a pressure test to make sure nothing was leaking. Jay and his team were fast and caring. Also, the facility is immaculate. You don’t even feel like you are in a waiting area of a body shop. These folks made the best of a crappy situation for me.

I have been a customer of Auto Tech and Body for 2 years now.
They service my Lexus (& are way better than the dealer), my Saab 9 – 5 and a Mini Cooper. Some fixes have been expensive but all in all over the past two years they have been GREAT! Chadia is WONDERFUL!!!
I will continue to use auto tech and body for as long as I live in Florida.

I am 19, and I went to Auto Tech & Body with my father searching for my first car. I only had about $ 5000 to spend, and the owner Jay recommended a 2008 red Pontiac G5 with 50,000 miles on it to me. We spoke with him for hours, and he seemed like a very nice and genuine guy. He showed us a couple places where the car had been hit, allowed us to take it for a test drive (it seemed to ride pretty nice), and he even put the car on a lift to show underneath. While underneath the car, my father noticed a long line of sealant all the way across the bottom of the car. When we asked about it, Jay told us they come out of the factory like that because it doesn’t mater because you can’t see underneath. He then showed us two other cars with sealant like that, but they were just tiny little spots. He proceeded to tell us that he was selling the car for $ 5780. So we tried to talk him down a few hundred, but he wouldn’t budge a penny. He took us into his office and showed us similar cars that were easily selling for $ 8200. It seemed as though he was giving us a great deal, and he seemed like such an honest guy that we believed him. We were just about to hand him $ 4000, but we decided to call a relative of ours that was a car dealer beforehand. He told us we had to have it checked out by a mechanic before we gave him the money. So we told Jay we’d be back the next day to do so. When we came to get the car, he didn’t seem like the same cheery guy we had spoken to the day beforehand. So, we proceeded to bring the car to a mechanic, and he charged $ 40 for us to do so. Once the mechanic got under the car, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was actually two totaled cars that had been pieced together, the entire back half had come from a separate car. That line of sealant that «came out of the factory» was actually where the two separate cars were connecting. The mechanic said that the alignment could shift, and told us to take a tight U-​turn to see if it would. He also named a huge assortment of different issues. So we took the U-​turn, and of course the car started veering to the left drastically when we let off the wheel. Of course, we were furious for being lied to and taken for fools, and actually almost handing the man $ 4000. So we went back and gave him some due shit. Of course, he just kept trying to bullshit his way out of it.
I realize that this has been extremely long review, but in summary, the man running the place is a con artist, and a good one at that. I would recommend anyone trying to buy a car veer extremely far away from Auto Tech & Body.

I was traveling on business in Ft. Lauderdale and my car started making a grinding noise that worried me. A local friend strongly recommended that I contact Jay at Auto Tech. Jay was a real pleasure to deal with and ensured that my car got towed into his shop where they promptly diagnosed the problem and worked to have it ready by the next morning so that I could get on my way. Their level of professionalism and service is amazing! Thank you Auto Tech!

I purchased my car here, and have had it serviced (as well as precious cars) here. They always do a great job, and it is good to know a place I can trust. They do all types of service and bodywork, and I know many others who use them and are very satisfied as well!

I bought a prepaid auto detail on Double Take Deals thinking this was a great deal to get my car detailed. Boy was I wrong! First off, I have a Lexus and I’ve had it detailed several times in the past. This was, by far, the worst detailing I’ve ever had (they do better at my local car wash for a whole lot less). They left me a big black smudge that wasn’t there when I brought the car in and now I cannot remove (I did point it out but they just covered it with a blanket that I had in the car), the floor mats didn’t look like they were even cleaned, there were streaks on the windows and dash… did they use a dirty towel? The two fine scratches that they told me they could get out were still there. Ugh!
Then I had a problem with their ‘inspection’. Of course they came up with $ 2000 worth of repairs that I needed! They did work on my car that, although I authorized, the estimate and the bill when I picked up the car was $ 400 more! You’ve got to be kidding me!
Be an educated consumer. They don’t let you pay with American Express cause Amex will protect you from businesses like this. After putting it in dispute with my credit card company (Visa doesn’t protect you once you sign for it and Auto Tech and Body held my car hostage unless I paid them in full), I finally took them to the Better Business Bureau and they reimbursed me ½ of what I requested.
Buyer beware.

Friendly, Fair and Great service! Thx guys! If you’re in the Pompano area, this is the place to go!
