Palm Bay Auto Repair

Shortly after i moved to the area from ct I needed to replace my clutch. I drove around to many places getting quotes because I knew no one and didn't know where to go to for the best shop. Finally after searching around and getting an attitude from every other shop in Palm Bay and being told it couldn't be done for a week I found brads. Not only did he quote me out the best price he treated me like a human being, he got me in and out in a couple hours the next day, and he didn't try to get me to buy something additional that i didn't need. Since that day I have made Brads my one stop shop. I've also had my timing belt and water pump done in one day and I now get my oil changed and will be going back for all my work. Long story short their fast, reliable, nowhere near over priced and best of all honest and friendly. Thanks again Brad

I highly recommend Brad's Auto! Never have I had such an amazing experience from a mechanic before. They are extremely honest and trustworthy.

First, let me begin by saying that these are some of the nicest guys I've ever met: cordial and funny. They're willing to listen and respond to your questions and do not leave you feeling as if you were rushed out the door. Plenty of shops leave you feeling like yet another customer; these guys make you feel like a friend. Second, they're also exceptionally knowledgeable about cars. I'm not talking about your standard, "I know what was taught in the manual," sort of knowledge. I am talking about knowledge of the issues that surround the various makes and models of the cars and their parts. Wondering what's causing that part to malfunction? Well, they've already come up with some possibilities. You're not going to walk out without a full diagnosis of the problem and a solution. Third, they saved me a ton of money and took care of me in the process. I got a quote on my A/C system from another very well-known chain here to fix my A/C for *$1300.00*. Not only did that make *my* jaw hit the floor, but it did the same for these guys, too. Long story short, they ran the diagnostics, found the problem, and found the solution for me, one that ultimately saves me around $800.00 bucks. They weren't interested in nickel-and-diming me; they wanted to fix the actual problem. So, they did so and showed me how to save a bunch of money in the process. Needless to say, I will be returning to this ship for all future repairs and services. They save me money, treat me like a friend, and are willing to actually *fix* the problem while doing it. I highly recommend this shop. You won't be disappointed.

Great service! They were very helpful and courteous on the phone and in person, and were especially honest. My car wouldn't start and we assumed it might be the fuel pump or something, but they let me know it was a simple problem that simply required resetting the security system that had put the car in lockdown. We never thought of something so simple as being the problem, but they were totally honest even though they could have claimed it was an actual problem and I would not have known. Explained everything thoroughly and gave me advice on what to do if it happens again to fix it on my own. They also took off 15% due to a coupon they had that I was unaware of, and also had offered to come pick me up at my home to get the car when I wasn't sure I'd be able to find a ride. Just awesome.

I have owned a lot of cars and used many repair shops. Brad's is the fairest and most honest shop I've had the pleasure to work with. Not only do they quickly diagnose the problem and reach out to communicate with you, they truly stand behind their work. On more than one occasion they have completed repairs free of charge because they are honest enough to admit they misdiagnosed the problem initially - try finding another shop that will do that! The mechanics always put the extra time in to get your car back to you. The shop manager Brad (no relation to the owner) is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend this shop.

My vehicle was overheating, and I took it in to get checked out. The first auto repair shop that I took it to said that my radiator was leaking and my thermostat needed to be replaced. They quoted me on roughly $1,000 worth of work. The prices just didn't feel right. After investigating different places online as well as a recommendation, I took the vehicle to Brads. The vehicle was re-evaluated and found that there wasn't a leak and the radiator didn't need replacing. Brad repaired the vehicle at a price that was 10x lower than the quota offered by the first repair shop. I'll gladly recommend Brad to anyone else for their quality, friendly, and honest service.

Great experience. They were a great help and seem like they are very honest. I will be using them again!!

Brad's auto was great! They were quick, honest, and efficient. I would highly recommend their service to others.

Excellent Service...Honest Pricing...What more could you ask for! 1st time customer...will be a repeat! Highly Recommend this Shop for all auto needs! THANKS BRAD!!!!! <(*_*)>

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Brad Leonard's family, friends, and employees after his tragic loss this weekend (February 22, 2015). I have been taking my car to Brad's for just over two years, since my boyfriend introduced me to them. I have nothing but good to say for the entire shop. I have had quotes for repairs from the major chains for certain repairs and Brad's always comes in with a better rate even before knowing what I had previously been quoted. The work is done professionally with a lot of patience and understanding for less knowledgeable customers. They are always willing to explain what is going on with the vehicle, whether it is good news or bad, and what it means; and all in terms a layperson can understand! After being at various repairs shops around the Palm Bay/Melbourne area, this is the only one I highly recommend.
