Forgive me as it has been some time since I was there, but about a month ago I was getting ready to head over to Orlando for work training from Sarasota. I pulled out of my driveway and my power steering was gone. I immediately drove to the only auto repair shop I have been to since living out here and they were too busy to help me. I started to google shops around me and Hitchcock Automotive came up. I made my way over and they had space and time to help me out right away. Scott Sr. (I believe was his name) was super kind (which I usually find uncommon as a woman looking to get her car fixed) and he reassured me it was an easy fix. The ?o-ring? had completely broken a piece off and they got my car up and cleaned up and replaced the ring within 20-30 min. I expressed my thanks and asked how much I owed and he told me it was on them and not to worry about it. Believe me I was worried about it. I never know how much mechanics are going to charge me and I couldn?t believe he did all of that for free. It was probably an easy little fix for them, but it was a huge fix to my day and restored a part of my faith in kindness. Thank you guys seriously. You had no idea how helpful that was to me when I needed it. Many thanks and will be back for any future car troubles. I highly recommend making this your first stop with auto repairs. A trustworthy team, quality work, and a safe and clean space. 10/10 guys.

I was looking for a good auto repair shop for my Lexus when I found Hitchcock Automotive mentioned several times on Next Door. I called and brought my car in with a list of items that needed to be repaired and asked if they would give me an estimate. While I waited, they looked the car over , gave me a very good price on the repairs and offered to do the work that day or the next, based on my convenience. I am very happy with the work that was done on my car and quite impressed with the customer service of Hitchcock Automotive. What a great find! Just an update to my last review because I know people are always looking for a good auto mechanic. My husband and I have used Hitchcock Automotive several times now for my Lexus RX 350 and his Jeep and we are extremely happy with their service. Scott, the owner, is just great! He runs a very efficient shop where the work is done on time and in line with the estimate. We have never had to bring anything back for an adjustment. Scott explains what needs to be done and , just as importantly, what doesn?t need to be done. When we bring our cars in for service, we know that the work will be done correctly and that we will be treated in a professional and courteous manner.

I couldn't speak more highly of this family owned and operated shop! They were honest, reasonable, good people. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! I came in with a muffler issue, they could have looked at me and assumed they could make some good money off of me by telling me I needed an all new muffler installed. Instead they brought me into the garage showed me the exact problem along with their recommendation and were able to easily fix the problem with very little cost to me. Five stars ? Thank you for being one of the good ones!!
Jerusha Pfannenschmidt
Scott got the job done fast and I was able to use loaner car which was great!

Scott and his team run a tight ship at Hitchcock Automotive. His Marine Corps roots shine through in the efficient and effective service he delivers. I have had many repairs for various vehicles done at the shop and all have been performed well and never needing a return to the shop.

Richard Sanatana
I have been a client of Hitchcock auto repair for three years and we are absolutely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of their services. It?s a blessing to find a mechanic you can trust and Scott Hitchcock is that person!
William McKeever
I had previously had 4 new tires purchased and installed at Hitchcock Automotive Repair. At the time of new installation, I also paid for a road hazard policy to cover against tire damage caused by road debris and other hazards. While driving my wife ran over debris in the road which caused a puncture and complete failure of one of the tires. I spoke to Scott Hitchcock and informed him of the repair needed and I also told him that I was due for an oil change. As always with this great business all repairs were completed flawlessly. Even though this was an unplanned required repair, Scott was able to accommodate me and complete repairs in a very timely fashion. I have had more than a few automotive service companies over the years, but I wouldn't think of taking my car anywhere else. Service was fast, thorough, reasonably priced and perfectly completed. Thanks again.
Joseph Lonsdale
As always Scott and hot team delivers. Have been taking my vehicles to Hitchcock for awhile now. Great service and no nonsense either. They fix what you need.

This is my third time using Hitchcock Automotive. The mechanics have done an excellent job on my car for oil changes, a battery replacement and valve cover seal replacement. They text me when I am due for my next oil change. And they have loaner cars that are reliable for the services that take a few hours. I am glad I found a mechanic that is good quality and reliable!

TJ Martin
I will not go anywhere else for my car needs, Trustworthy, Honest, Knowledgeable Thank You Hitchcock Automotive Repair!
Shannon McLain
I first brought my 2007 Ford Ranger to them for a repair that I did not trust the local Ford dealer to perform and I was most pleased with their quick diagnosis and problem solving solution. The shop is well maintained with knowledgeable people working on your vehicle. Since then I have sent multiple neighbors to them for maintenance and they were all completely satisfied with the work, as well! One of the most difficult things in relocating is finding those vendors who took so many years to find and having to now find someone new to trust to your car. I am so grateful in finding Hitchcock Automotive Repair, and the initial recommendation from O?Reilly?s Autoparts Store that highly praised him! Grateful for that day and that I have a mechanic I can trust with my vehicles. Thanks Scott
Laszlo de Simon
My first visit, and I will definitely be back. Hitchcock Automotive Repair came highly recommended and I can see why. I don't let many places touch my Corvette but I got a feeling of confidence from the start. My service was quick, and done right. Thanks Scott.

James Chaich
If you're in need of an honest and reasonable repair shop, dial M for mechanic and Hitchcock automotive. They're not for the birds p I really consider them part of my family now as I have an older vehicle that has needed some sorting out they were there for me every time and I would never take my car anywhere else.
James Eric Ross
Had issues with my car spewing steam one day. Took it over to Hitchcock and they were very honest and timely with their updates. Very good service overall!
Tyler Menendez
I am so happy to have taken my car to Hitchcock Automotive!! I am not very car savvy but H.A made it very easy for me and explained everything that was going to happen to my car, leaving me to feel very comfortable. Scott even texted me a few days after I picked up my car to check in and see if everything was working great....it was! I will definitely be coming back if I have any future issues with my car! :)
Betiel Mehari
Brought my husband's truck in cause the clutch was going. He had us bring it in on Friday. Even though he wouldn't be able to work on it till monday/tues. Scott wanted to make sure it didnt completly break down over the weekend and my husband be without a car. Scott gave my husband a loner car till his was fixed. And had the truck all fixed by Tues. He is very kind and thoughtful. Always thinking about his customers. Thank you again Scott.

Quick, courteous, and accommodating with a loaner car. Reasonably priced. What could be better!
Bryan McBride
Been having Scott and his crew working on our three vehicles since he opened here in Sarasota. You won?t find a better quality family owned business than Hitchcock. As a female, the office is always super clean makes me feel comfortable as I wait, ?all of his team are super respectful but more than that? they get the job you need done. I find them to be honest and they take pride in their craft and the proof of that is in their work.
Carrie McCoy
Great place. Order my part called me when it came in put it in the next day for the exact price they quoted me. Honest guys. I will use Hitchcock automotive as my mechanic as long as they let me.
Joe Boccanfuso
These guys are my go to. They are super nice and have reasonable pricing. Plus they have free rentals incase you need one. They also have a two year warranty on any of their work which is super comforting to know your money is backed by their word. I have never had an issue with them or their work. Thank you Hitchcock!
Cat Taylor
Hitchcocks does excellent service at a fair price. Being a local father son operation within the local community also very much appeals to me. I used to go to the large franchises etc but 3 years ago I found Hitchcocks and I am very satisfied with their work! Thanks for your professionalism and excellent work!
Jeff Fultz
Scott's team members took care of my C7 and I really enjoy the difference with new tires and rims.
Kel H
Awesome work. Honest and very fair price. Would recommend to anyone.
james matunas
Honest and reliable. The cleanest shop around. They bend over backwards to provide excellent service. My engine problem was diagnosed within minutes and the car was ready exactly when they said it would be. So glad I found Hitchcock. This father and son team are very knowledgeable. I wont take my vehicles anywhere else!
Cheryl Tomas
Scott and Scott are wonderful. They fixed my husband?s F-150 the same day it caught fire under the hood; changed his alternator and connection. Got him back on the road working !!
Kimber JFM
Scott and his team are number 1 . We're none here !
Jason Singer
The most honest and knowledgeable mechanics in town. I have had nothing but amazing experiences with them every time. They text you with breakdowns of what may need to be done to your vehicle, before doing any work without your permission. As well as quick, reasonable turnaround times and pricing. Cannot say enough positive things about this business.
Autumn Radosevich
Best automotive repair shop I have been to in a longtime. Clean, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They saved me $0000.00's over the dealer estimated repair bill and the car was finished in two days instead of two weeks or more. I'll be going back for regular service on my vehicle.
Tom Burrows
I recently had my truck serviced at Hitchcock Automotive. Scott and his team were honest and professional, and the entire experience was outstanding.
Christian Scull
We were so fortunate to find Hitchcock?s, Our car broke down on a Sunday and at the recommendation of the towing company we had it delivered to the shop. By Monday morning we were on the phone with Scott Hitchcock, diagnosed our problem and had it fixed and we?re out the door Monday afternoon! Great service indeed.
Alec Winfrey
Top of the line knowledge, service, communication, care, and price. Was given a rental vehicle until the work was completed in half the time of other places. Scott is the most professional person in this area that I have ever known. His mechanics are the best around. His estimates are exact and he doesn't over change for services not needed. He and his staff go above and beyond. I drive 45 minutes past all other shops because of the quality and price they provide. I will Never go anywhere else!

Had a leaking oil cooler and a rough idle condition on my 2017 Corvette Grand Sport. They diagnosed and fixed both of these and also did a four-wheel alignment. One of the cleanest shops I?ve ever seen.
Alan Hintz
I was referred by a friend. I visited shop on Friday and talked with Scott, the owner, we discussed the issues I had with my 10 year old Lexus RX 350. I made appointment for following Monday and dropped car off Sunday evening. I received a phone call from Scott before 9 Monday morning with needed services and an estimate. I agreed with the recommended services and cost. I received a phone call about 2:30 Monday and my car was ready. My car is fixed and no surprises. I will return to Hitchcock for my needed auto service needs.
Thomas Feder
Scott has saved me a couple times now. His shop is perfectly clean, they're automated and text you your estimate and when your car is ready. A little on the high end on price but well worth it just knowing you can trust them.
Jolene Ambrozich
Excellent service at a fair price!

Chris D
I was referred to Scott at Hitchcock Automotive by Lyle at C&S Corvettes because they were booked until early next year. He told me they were a father and son operation and did excellent work. I am a very particular type of customer who expects work to be done and done right. I brought my 2006 Corvette in for an EVAP replacement and a tire sensor. In the years I've owned my car it's never needed any major repairs. Because of this it was very important to me the car was worked on by mechanics that are familiar with Corvettes. I asked Scott to look over the car and let me know if he saw anything else for concern. He told me my differential had some fluid around the housing. I told him to look into it and let me know the cost to fix it . He was kind enough to see it was covered by my extended warranty and also changed the rear main seal as well. Although it was not a huge leak I felt it needed to be fixed. I had a good feeling about Scott and fully trusted in him and his team to get it done. When I picked up the car upon completion, as promised he put it on the lift so his mechanics could show me what they did. Great job to Rod who performed the work, Scott Jr. who answered some of my questions, and re programmed my tire sensor, and Scott Sr. who runs the shop. Scott Sr. was extremely kind and to the point. He didn't waste any time telling me what needed to be done and how much it would cost. They provided me a rental car at no extra charge and did an awesome job on my Corvette. By the way, it's probably one of the cleanest automotive shops I've ever seen. Thank you again for doing such a great job! I highly recommend this company.
Gary Tuhro
Excellent customer service and work. I highly recommend bringing your vehicle to them.
April Iacono
Thanks, Scott - Hitchcock Automotive , I can?t tell you how much I appreciate your honest estimate and taking such great care of my me and my car?. M Nichols AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Brian Cummings
Truly, a auto repair place that you can totally trust. Always excellent work done timely. I would never go anywhere else now that I have found this auto repair place. And they?re all honorable military veterans. Best service, best price, and a nice air-conditioned, comfortable waiting room as well.
Kate Duncan
If there is anything I need, it's one less thing to worry about. Sarasota life is busy busy busy! I feel so much relief that my family has checked off the "find a Good Car fixer place box." We have always been treated very well, the cars are taken care of in a more than timely manner, and most of all I know that the vehicles I'm driving will contain and keep safe the circus I haul around town everyday all the time. I don't worry about my car, I worry that my big headed deaf and half blind dog will lean out to far and fall out when making a u-turn. That's a gift that matters. Thank you guys!!!!
Christina Lake
I have been using Hitchcock Automotive for auto repair and am very happy with their service. They are affordable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. You will know this as soon as you walk in and meet them, and the finished work and service is great. On the most recent service, they lent me a car so I wouldn't have to wait while they did a same day repair with no appointment.
Rob Martin
Solid guys. Scott and team did an excellent job fixing my fiancée?s AC in her VW. They were very professional, came in under my expected cost, and had the job done in a few hours. What other local shop do you know that sends you home with a loaner car for work that is small like this? None. We have our new mechanic. I highly recommend Hitchcock Auto Repair!

I drive a POS that has many miles on it. I rely on my vehicle for income. Every day its not on the road, I'm losing $$. Scot & his crew have done excellent work and got the work done very quickly so I'm back in action asap and the work has been done right. They even replaced an alternator that my former mechanics could not. ( its not a normal job on my Chevy Traverse so some guys wont do it) When you find a good dentist or mechanic, you keep 'em ! Thats what i say ! I highly recommend Hitchcock for your car repairs.

The work preformed ( changing transmission fluid) was just what my car needed. It shifts better and I have peace of mind knowing it was done correctly. Other places quoted me very high prices. This place was busy but they still managed to get it done in a timely fashion. The very clean shop was well organized. Pleny of people on staff too. Will definitely be a customer again!!...

Race Zoetmulder
I had hit a pothole with my truck. I was worried that it had mocked my alignment out. When I contacted them they got me in right away. The shop was clean and professional. When came down to the physical work. They were thorough with the front end alignment. Showed all the supporting documentation to confirm the front and measurements. And then showed the measurements after they did the corrections to ensure that it was in within manufacturers specs. The experience was a great one I would highly recommend them.
Todd Retterer
Scott is a viable alternative to dealer service doing excellent quality work for hundreds less as well as excellent customer service.

This was my first time using Hitchcock Automotive Repair. I had a 10 am appointment. Scott took my vehicle on time and kept me informed regarding the AC repair. My car was fixed properly, fast, and at a reasonable price. I totally believe this is an honest garage at reasonable prices. I will definitely be returning for all my future repairs and service. Thank you Scott.

This place is GREAT! The owner is Retired Marine Corps so there is no messing around. It is the ONLY shop, to include dealerships, where I have been taken along on their ride in a car to verify the complaint. It was on the rack at 730am and done at 900 the same day. And when I told other people about how inexpensive they were they were shocked. This is our new go to place. Thank You, Scott!

Hitchcock has provided excellent routine timely maintenance & needed fixes on our 3 vehicles, a Lexus 400h, a Honda ridgeline & a Toyota rav4. They even doubled the warranty time on a previous repair which failed from another shop. We highly recommend & will continue to trust our vehicles needs with Hitchcock.
John Weiner
Scott has done a couple of repairs for me and I have been very satisfied with the work. The pricing is fair. The shop is impressive. I will be back.

1200 miles from home, my 2002 Toyota Sienna began making a loud bang when downshifting into first gear. With plans to drive home to Texas the next day on Christmas Eve, I called Scott based on the many reviews. He had me right where he wanted me, vulnerable and far from home. He looked over the car and diagnosed the issue in the transmission/torque converter. Instead of trying to scare me into buying very expensive and perhaps even unneeded repairs like so many other shops might, he simply sent me on my way with the assurance that the van shouldn't have any problems on the return journey. The van didn't. This kind of honesty is incredibly refreshing. I travel to Sarasota quarterly. I know that there is an honest mechanic that I can trust if I ever need repairs when down there.
Alberto Vilches
I used Hitchcock Automotive Repair for maintenance and a timing belt replacement on my wife?s Acura MDX. We are very happy with the work and enjoy dealing with the guys at Hitchcock?s. We will continue to use them for our auto service.
Robert Lucas
These guys got me in on short notice. I had great service and they explained everything they needed to get done and even put me in a loaner when they unknowingly needed to keep my vehicle overnight.
Joelle Simmons
Highly recommend. Good and honest people, great location.
Alex Marie
I really appreciate Hitchcock Automotive Repairs caring and professional approach to our needs as well as their excellent prompt service. Walking into their repair shop for the first time and interacting with them, it was obvious on several levels this is a well managed business. Scott is very ethical which I especially value very much. His followup message a couple of days later asking how it is going just reinforces the positive impression I have of them and am spreading the word among our friends!
Jim Vierling
Great service. Definitely get what you pay for. Took care of my son's vehicle with integrity. Certainly recommend this company

Im out of state for work and its hard to find a good mechanic who can do good honest work, I have had issues with my truck for multiple months and found Hitchcock Auto with a 5.0 w/ hundreds of reviews and I will say 11/10. Would tow truck from AZ to FL to have him work on it.
Braxton Ziegler
Excellent service. Scott had his son stay over time to finish this extensive AC job as promised with original Ford parts for warranty coverage. He provided a loaner car and followed up a year later on his own to check if everything worked properly. I highly recommend Hitchcock. They are trustworthy, highly skilled and technically modern with data information on your vehicle. The shop is spotless. He really knows how to run a business and treat customers. Thank you Scott for excellent work and for your service to our country as a veteran.
Jim Drechsel
So glad to have found a best of class business in Sarasota. I have had recurring car problems for a year or so and tried several local shops. After spending a lot of money and time attempting to get repaired,Scott nailed it on his first attempt. Happiness is having a great mechanic! These guys are GOOD.
Chuck Amstutz
Honest and reliable

I like their friendly service. Always ready to do what is needed for my vehicle.
Phillip Shope
Refered by C&S Corvettes. That alone confirms he runs an honest shop and that he does good work.I personally never met Scott. Dropped the Vette off after hours and picked it up the next day after hours. He installed new rotors and pads plus a fuel filter that I supplied.. Car and owner couldn't be happier.
kelly schaan
Top notch. Friendly, flexible
Nam Grunt 68-69
An amazing mechanic shop. They worked on my 79? z28 and got it running better than ever. Great service and people!
Nikolas Fusillo
i called up the number for Bill Barretts where i have taken my 2000 Honda CRV for 4 years to make an appointment. I went to the normal place to see that he was no longer there. So I called the number and Scott at Hitchcock gave me their address 2 blocks away. I am so glad Scott kept this old number. What a great place to go and service your car. Clean, pleasant, excellent work . I highly recommend this place. He does other cars just an FYI
nancy schroeder
I?ve had my car repaired at Hitchcock twice now and been very pleased with the service. The rates are reasonable and the work is done quickly. I have a chronic illness that makes my body intolerant to heat and I feel like I am going to die if I am in the heat. When the a/c stopped working in my car my heart sank. Hitchcock had it fixed the next day! I am pleased to find an auto repair shop I trust. I highly recommend! Thank you Scott!
Laura Vigiano
Friendly and efficient fair priced. Nice waiting room pet friendly!
linda wood
Scott really did a fantastic job accommodating my schedule and indecisiveness. I knew certain things needed to happen to get my car back on the road. He never pressured me and gave me a loaner car, which saved me a ton of money! Thank you Scott for your kindness. I'll be back to Hitchcock for future repairs and maintenance. 5 stars ?all the way!!
Erin Ramirez
I had new tires, mounted and balanced, and a front and alignment. Highly recommend this place.
Gasper Ancona
They are knowledgeable, experienced, courtesy, helpful and fair. I will always go to them for my car.

Very fast diagnosis, Break down of parts needed and quotation. I would highly recommend this auto repair facility.

I stopped in to have my tire and battery checked out. They were very prompt in diagnosing the issues. I approved the estimate and they made the repairs. I find their text messaging updates very useful and convenient.
Mark Lindsay

SO close to home , I am grateful these guys are in my neighborhood. Appointment or unexpected vehicle problem they are Always their to help get it right. I love that Hitchcock has loaners so life doesn't get put on hold waiting for vehicle repairs. Best decision I made keeping that flyer I received in the Mail.

At the recommendation of the best Corvette shop in the SW Florida I went here to have 4 new tires installed and a 4 wheel alignment done. The waiting room is the nicest I've ever seen in a repair shop - compares favorably to European automotive dealership - even had a USB charging and wall outlets for your laptop. Tire install went quickly and everything looks good. Had a smooth drive home on 75 at freeway speeds - tracked great.
John Gammel
We moved to Florida a year ago and this automotive shop has gone over and above for us!! Always getting us in and taken care of!! We drive 45min anytime we need anything because we trust them! It's a relief to find such an honest and caring group of mechanics!!

Eric Van Helden
We're new to the area and needed an oil change for our SUV, so I called to make an appointment and Scott was able to get me in the next morning. I had to bring my toddler in with me and loved the waiting area. Very clean and my little guy was happy to sit and hang out. It was very quick and easy. Thanks!
Kelly Gross
It?s was great experience they were very nice and pleasant very friendly and they answer all my questions and timely matter
Candice Maxie
Called the day before to get an oil change. Scott got me in with no problem & lent me a car so I didn?t have to sit in the shop & wait while they worked. I?ve never had a mechanic that does this. Can?t beat the level of customer service offered here.
Sherri Sierigk
Scott is so kind and a great mechanic I recommend him to anyone he is honest and fair and is willing to help you with anything
Debra Coover
Scott is very professional, knowledgeable, and polite! I definitely recommend Hitchcock Auto! Thank you.
Jessica Stein
The other day was my first visit to Hitchcock Auto and the experience was excellent. I had destroyed my brakes on my car driving at Sebring Raceway in a track event. I knew the damage was extensive, but really had no idea what to expect. Times like this you begin to get concerned about an owners personal integrity because you are flying blind. Scott, the owner, was very professional and very honest about my damage and the repairs needed. I had purchased upgraded pads and rotors for my car and there was no problem with installing my provided parts. I had called other shops and they wanted an extra charge to install my parts. My calipers on the brakes were damaged and Scott found the rebuild kit for them, which saved me thousands. He called later and informed me the rear calipers were fine and only the fronts had to be done. The bill was very reasonable and the work done was excellent. I will definitely will be working with Scott and his staff in the future.
Jason Kiplinger
I took my sons car in for a diagnostic and repair and was extremely pleased with the level of professionalism and service. This has to be the cleanest mechanic shop I have ever stepped into and they are very knowledgeable about vehicles and service. The price was very fair, the work was excellent, the service was professional and I was very pleased. I am now recommending Hitchcock Automotive Repair to all my friends because honest mechanics that do an awesome job as they did for me are hard to find these days. This business deserves the highest rating!
Kytka
This place has been a blessing! I?m new to the area and have unfortunately had to visit a handful of shops since moving here, and so far, none has been more helpful, homey, speedy, polite, and reasonably priced as this one! (they even did me a favor by fixing my break lights for free without an appointment) My absolute new favorite auto shop.
Brooke de St. Germain
Within an hour of my car getting to the shop I was being called & told the diagnostic and that it would be ready in the morning. That next morning by 10 am she was ready for pick up. Very commutative as well!
Samantha Rockey
The owner is beyond honest and sincere. I went to Gettle Hyundai in Sarasota and they told me I had an oil leak. I went to Hitccock and I DID NOT have an oil leak but a leak of transmission oil and needed my radiator replaced. Not only did Gettle Hyundai misdiagnos my issuse they lied to me. I had Hitccock fix my car ($794) for a new radiator and oil change. I called Gettle Hyundai and asked how much the same service would cost me and they said $1400.00 plus labor. Run from Gettle to Hitccock! Thanks Scott for your honest, kind service. Oh yeah, free loaner car too! He also gave me a 5% discount for my late brother's series in thr Marines. I won't go anywhere else moving forward!
Virginia Kear-Goode
Fixed my car in less than 24 hours..great service very nice people
ron knight
Great experience. Scott was upfront about needed repairs and maintenance, and didn't try to do anything without my authorization. Also, there was no high pressure to do anything immediately like some shops will try. There is a nice, clean, comfortable waiting area with free wi-fi, and he also has loaner cars available if you don't want to or are unable wait around. I have to drive 20 miles to get to this shop, but it's worth it for an honest mechanic.
Buster Bud
My air conditioner was blowing warm air. I called other places and they either couldn't get me in for another 5-7 days or I didn't get a good feeling about them. One of them said over the phone it was probably: then he gave me a list of things other than low Freon. I called Scott and he said sure bring it in. They looked at it , and tested for leaks and found none, which meant that it was a very slow and small leak, which isn't unusual for a car that is 6 years old with 92k miles. He could have told me anything and I probably would have believed him. But he is extremely honest. If I have any other issues I will most certainly go back here. BTW super clean and comfortable waiting area too.
John
Traveling to Sarasota for vacation and brakes were making unusual noise and felt that it should be checked out. Read reviews prior to selection and called and spoke with owner , Scott , who directed me to come in anytime. Upon arrival I was greeted by a very courteous and welcoming owner that listened to my issues and had a tech on it and out for a test ride and on a lift and checked out quickly. Results were nothing to worry about and normal for some vehicles from north with little rusting that can cause some noise or rubbing that will go away and does not harm brakes and that mine were in excellent condition. When I offered my credit card for payment Scott informed me there was no charge as they had done no work!! I have already offered his name to some friends that spend winters here for their auto servicing needs.
Peter Lavallee
The guys were very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. I had no idea that the battery was located under the back passenger seat. They located the problem and we were on our way. I was completely satisfied with my service.
Diane Edwards
I had a great experience at Hitchcock Automotive. They were able to get me in right before the Holidays when everywhere else was busy or was not able to do the service that my car needed. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a good place to have work done on their car. Friendly staff and quick service.
Katie Kibbey
This is the best mechanic place I've ever been to. by far this is the best mechanic shop in Sarasota Florida I highly recommend you take your car here of ur having any car troubles, the mechanics are very professional and they know what they're doing they have plenty of experience they replaced my engine and did such a great job thank you guys very much
Sicily Destefano

Jackie Pointer
I came to the shop after moving to Florida a few months ago to diagnose my check engine light. They were very upfront and honest with me, give me all the information I needed, and didn?t push me into anything. I will definitely be back.
Aaron Pyman
Whenever you can find a mechanic with the integrity to only work on what your car actually needs & not overcharge you for it, you found a home for your car?s tune-ups & inevitable fixes! & I definitely have 1 with Hitchcock Automotive & Repair! Truly grateful for their service & integrity.
Mo Peerani
I feel like I discovered a real gem here and I could not be more excited. I called this business after they came up FIRST on my google search and Scott answered the phone and was simply delightful. Friendly, informative, kind and so flexible to accommodate my schedule and my needs. Once my appointment day came, I walked into a very welcoming, lovely waiting area that allowed me to work (free Wi-fi and sitting area, water mini fridge ). Clean and cute decor. But most importantly, quality, quick and affordable services. Scott is friendly, offers years of expertise and wonderful conversation. My new go to place! Thank you so much.
Shannon Wagar
Scott and his team are professional, courteous, and provide quality service.
Eric Wyrosdic
Looking at getting my car fixed there with the guys are very friendly very nice place is so clean you can eat on it
Tommy Rheinlander
Finally found a great mechanic. After having two flops over past year -- one bad mechanic who, even with an apparently good reputation, was as close to a scam as you can get; one good mechanic, but so overwhelmed that he missed glaring issues -- Hitchcock is the real deal. Already had 3 cars serviced in past month and they've done 3 great jobs. Hope to continue this relationship.
Richard K.
Hitchcock Auto Repair was such a blessing to find! I was very stressed about my car not acting correctly, found Hitchcock by accident, but they are conveniently located and the reviews were great! I was so relieved to be offered a free loaner vehicle! Service was professional, and I never felt like I was being talked down to as a woman or scammed! So great! Timely and efficient, communication was great through phone calls and text. I will be back and recommending to friends and family!
Shylah Rowe
Very professional, swift response. Will be our new mechanic. Happy to support and recommend great family business.
Constance Meyer
Hitchcock Automotive repair is a great shop! If your looking for a fair priced honest mechanic that won?t BS you, this is the place to go! Scott sr was very welcoming and knowledgeable! Went in because my a/c wasn?t blowing cold air, and Scott diagnosed the problem in no time! Gave a great quote and fixed the car in no time, even gave a loaner car while my car was being worked on, so I could get around! Would definitely recommend! THANK YOU Hitchcock automotive repair for the great service!
eric freeman
They are amazing. We were in a pinch trying to leave the state and the car broke down. Not only did they get us in same day but stayed late until our car was repaired and ready to go! Definitely can't find that quick and efficient of service in most places.
Sharon Prior
Excellent honest and.fair
Tony Swire
Highly Recommend!! ????? We were having car issues driving back to South Carolina with my 3 small children and I had to pull off the interstate. I was referred to them by O'Rileys and I am so glad I went with them! Extremely professional, friendly, fast and affordable! They gave me a courtesy car for free while they fixed the car. They even stayed past closing to make sure my van got fixed so we could get home! We made it home without an issue! Not to mention we left our sunglasses in the courtesy car and they shipped them to us!! Best experience with a mechanic thus far!!! Thanks again
Jessica Walker
Fantastic customer service, responsive and honest. Got my car back on the road. I'll be returning for any future repairs.
Dave Neel-Surrena
I went in on a whim with my two young daughters because one of my headlights was out on my Odyssey. We were kindly taken care of right away. I was given a free rental to take home while they checked out my car. Just a couple hours later they called to let me know my car was done. It was quick, easy and very reasonably priced. I was shocked. And they are clearly very kind and fair people. I?m lucky I found them and can?t recommend them enough.
Brooke Boynton
Found My new Mechanic - Picked him based on his Google reviews. Turned out to be a great choice! Right from the beginning phone call he was friendly and professional. Told me what the issue likely was and gave me an approx. price. When I showed up to drop the truck off, I was surprised with a free loaner car! All you have to do is replace any gas you use! Told me it'd be done same day and it was! Final price came in close to what he estimated. Scott is a straight shooter from the mid-west and a good guy in my book. I will be returning to him for future service. Bonus - just received a text link that let me sign up for a website that links directly to Hitchcock Automotive and has my service history right online! You can set appointments and more. Color me impressed!
Adonis Pointer
Scott repaired my daughter's Volkswagen Jetta when we were staying in Siesta Key. We got a prompt diagnosis and quote on two different parts. He had one and got the other part quickly. He did a great and fast job. He is so professional and nice. I would highly recommend him.
Lisa H.
Excellent experience at Hitchcock Automotive! The owner, Scott, is very professional and knows all about big trucks/diesel engines. Had a rental car available for free (only had to replenish gas used while having the rental) and had truck fixed quickly for several issues. Very trustworthy man. Highly recommend this place and definitely will use him again for any car issues.
Erica Jamison
Just moved to the area and needed to find a new mechanic. This place is exactly what everyone is always searching for. Clean lobby. Fair prices. Top quality work. Most importantly-honest and trustworthy. This will be my new mechanic for years to come.
aaron Bolton
Great honest mechanic
Garret Davis
Scott and his team are very professional, and did fantastic work at a workable price on my f150. Will definitely be using this shop for now on.
Benjamin Mclaughlin
Scott and his son did great job on my 2002 VW Eurovan Camper. Not easy to find someone in the area to work on this vintage. They put shocks on during my first appointment and we returned to have them look at my A/C, wheel bearings, and battery. Drives better than ever! Will definitely return for other maintenance or repairs. Fair price and quick turn around. Happy customer.
Angela Ziebarth
These guys were amazing! Got me right in and made the repairs within just a few hours! Aaaaand a free loaner car to boot! Great value for the services too. This will now be my new repair shop! Thanks so much!
Kara Manning
These people are the best. Very knowledgeable and took my car in immediately due to nature of the problem. Fixed everything and explained what the issues were. They really cared about me, the customer. I am new to the area and they were honest and great price. I highly recommend them!!!
Lisa Mullaney
Great addition to Sarasota! As the daughter of a retired mechanic, it is nice to have good Midwestern work ethic and excellent customer service back in the area! The estimate was detailed and provided quickly. A nice loaner car was ready and waiting. Brake repairs and oil change complete within two hours. I highly recommend stopping in to meet Scott for all your auto repair needs! He's also new to the area, so give him your best local tips to enjoy Florida life in beautiful Sarasota!
Kimberly Marchese
The nicest people you will meet. Go out of their way to get you in and out fast. Best auto repair shop I have ever been to. Will get all of my work done here from now on! Thank you!
Dylan Alexander
I am very happy that Scott and his family decided to move down to Sarasota and open up their shop. What an honest man, his son too who works with him. They are very good people who run a quality business the right way, without having to cut corners or take advantage. I really do give my highest recommendation to this business. Hard working, ethical, and what a beautiful facility !! Did I mention they also give you a loaner vehicle for FREE as the work is getting done on your vehicle. Seriously, who does that ?? They are the best !! Thanks Scott & Scott !! Regards, Alex
Alex M
Hitchcock Auto is a new shop and very clean inside. Scott is very professional and friendly, as well as trustworthy. He has helped with my car several times in last 2 months and is very reliable. He also has several cars that he can provide as a loaner while car is getting fixed. Awesome place and very happy to have a mechanic I trust.
Jordan Brock
Most impressive service shop. Spotless and very inviting. Extremely professional and I highly recommend their services!
Kathy Gambill
Scott was outstanding! Needed an engine replacement. He got me a quote in under an hour. Said it would take 2 days and he was spot on. Cost was 100.00 under original estimate. I will definitely be back for future car care.

what our customers say
Forgive me as it has been some time since I was there, but about a month ago I was getting ready to head over to Orlando for work training from Sarasota. I pulled out of my driveway and my power steering was gone. I immediately drove to the only auto repair shop I have been to since living out here and they were too busy to help me. I started to google shops around me and Hitchcock Automotive came up. I made my way over and they had space and time to help me out right away. Scott Sr. (I believe was his name) was super kind (which I usually find uncommon as a woman looking to get her car fixed) and he reassured me it was an easy fix. The ?o-ring? had completely broken a piece off and they got my car up and cleaned up and replaced the ring within 20-30 min. I expressed my thanks and asked how much I owed and he told me it was on them and not to worry about it. Believe me I was worried about it. I never know how much mechanics are going to charge me and I couldn?t believe he did all of that for free. It was probably an easy little fix for them, but it was a huge fix to my day and restored a part of my faith in kindness. Thank you guys seriously. You had no idea how helpful that was to me when I needed it. Many thanks and will be back for any future car troubles. I highly recommend making this your first stop with auto repairs. A trustworthy team, quality work, and a safe and clean space. 10/10 guys.
I was looking for a good auto repair shop for my Lexus when I found Hitchcock Automotive mentioned several times on Next Door. I called and brought my car in with a list of items that needed to be repaired and asked if they would give me an estimate. While I waited, they looked the car over , gave me a very good price on the repairs and offered to do the work that day or the next, based on my convenience. I am very happy with the work that was done on my car and quite impressed with the customer service of Hitchcock Automotive. What a great find! Just an update to my last review because I know people are always looking for a good auto mechanic. My husband and I have used Hitchcock Automotive several times now for my Lexus RX 350 and his Jeep and we are extremely happy with their service. Scott, the owner, is just great! He runs a very efficient shop where the work is done on time and in line with the estimate. We have never had to bring anything back for an adjustment. Scott explains what needs to be done and , just as importantly, what doesn?t need to be done. When we bring our cars in for service, we know that the work will be done correctly and that we will be treated in a professional and courteous manner.
I couldn't speak more highly of this family owned and operated shop! They were honest, reasonable, good people. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! I came in with a muffler issue, they could have looked at me and assumed they could make some good money off of me by telling me I needed an all new muffler installed. Instead they brought me into the garage showed me the exact problem along with their recommendation and were able to easily fix the problem with very little cost to me. Five stars ? Thank you for being one of the good ones!!
