Sarasota Auto Repair

Jamie and his crew always do a great job taking care of my auto! Even if it's something unexpected, they find a way to quickly get it repaired.

I've always taken meticulous care of my cars, (current Lexus is 18 yrs old) but due to some health problems I can't anymore. Finding a good mechanic was difficult, but I eventually found Jamie at Elite and he has always exceeded my expectations. The work they due is of the highest quality and their prices are very competitive...they've always been cheaper than the dealer. Renee is always very friendly and helpful. They're both good trustworthy people.

Special thanks to Renee and staff for their expert diagnosis on my 2007 Volvo XC 90. Diagnosis was accurate and the vehicle was ready as promised. Moreover, I was called when the vehicle was ready for pick up. The waiting room is spacious and comfortable. The staff is professional, shop is immaculate, air conditioned and well equipped. Will definately be back when my vehicles are in need of mechanical repair.

This was a wow experience across the board. From my initial contact with Renee all the way to meeting Jamie after he had finished up with my vehicle the experience was a smashing success. I even came WAY under on my bill thanks to their integrity. I highly recommend this shop for all your future needs. You may not be the "lowest price in town" but I will gladly pay a little extra knowing my 335d is taken care of for many years to come. Thank you so much!

My "new" 1996 Jaguar XJS needed a lot of work to make it both safe and reliable, and Jamie and the team at Elite Motor Works came through in flying colors. The car runs fantastic, I couldn't be happier with the service and attention to detail that Elite provided. I am already recommending them to others who I know drive imports.Steve

Jamie and crew have kept my old Volvo running smoothly. I could not be more pleased with their outstanding service and highly recommend EMW.Diane

This is by far the best place to take your European vehicle. Jamie, the owner is so nice, and Renee is fabulous at making sure our cars are done in a timely manner that works with my schedule. They are very honest and their mechanic is excellent. Jamie treats his employees and customers like family. I am so grateful that I found them!

Jamie is the Man! If you need anything done and done right. Clean shop, friendly staff. They work on my Audi Q7 and they charge me less than the stealaship. Call Elite Motor works.

My experience with Elite Motor Works is so overwhelmingly positive that I can't help but tell everyone I know about them. Until this point, I thought a good shop was one that I could trust to tell me the right thing that was wrong and then provide my car to me with everything put back in its place (it's amazing how many shops can't even do that). However, Elite has given me a new standard that is so much higher. They take the experience so much farther. In a conversation with the owner, Jamie told me that they live by the rule "What's the right thing to do for the customer?" They've proven to me that they do indeed live by that rule.My latest service put that to the test. 3-4 months ago I brought my new (to me) Jaguar to Elite for a preventative differential oil change. They noticed while doing this service that the previous owner hadn't performed a wheel bearing replacement correctly. The bearing was pressed in at an angle and it was a mess. I asked Elite to fix it, and they did. I also asked for the old parts back so I could show the previous owner what his shop did, which Elite provided with no hesitation. 3 months later, I began getting ABS add DCS faults. I took the car into Elite to review. Upon diagnosing the car, they noticed codes that related to the speed sensor for the wheel that had the bearing service. So, they immediately told me they'd waive the diagnostic fee, since it was related to an earlier service (...the right thing to do, of course). In researching why the faults were coming up, they determined that the OEM replacement bearing they had used was showing a slightly different pulse count, and therefore speed, than the other wheel. Elite decided the right thing to do was replace the right wheel bearing at no charge to me (amazing, an expensive service...complimentary to alleviate an issue that could be argued wasn't directly their fault). They also knew I needed my car for an upcoming trip, so they told me if they couldn't complete the service in time they'd provide a loaner car (going above and beyond, if you ask me).The story doesn't end here, after performing the 2nd wheel bearing service, they found the problem was solved. Both rear wheel speed sensors matched. Except, now the rear axle and the front axle registered different speeds and the car computer was not happy. Elite was shocked as their part provider claimed less than 4% returns on their bearings, never having seen this problem before. Again, following their motto, Elite did what they felt was right and ordered two new bearings from Jaguar directly, and replaced both rear wheel bearings (2 more bearing services, no charge to me), and extended my loaner car for almost a week.To put the cherry on the sundae, the car was ready on Friday, as they had told me it would be. However, I got hung up at my customer and couldn't be there to pick it up. The owner offered to come into the shop on Saturday, when they're normally closed, and make the exchange of my car for the loaner.I've never had this kind of service from a shop, nor have I even heard of this level of service. Renee, Jamie, and everyone else at Elite who I haven't met are rock stars, in my opinion. If you have a car that they'll service, it's a no-brainer that this should be where you take your car.

I just want to say thank you, thank you! Elite service was awesome! not only Renee had great communication with me but, I learn so much about my car thru your great picture/email system. I highly recommend Elite to everyone I know. See you guys in my next service!
