Venice Auto Repair

I was recently in the market for a newer car, so contacted American Import Auto to see if I could bring any potential cars I might be interested by for a free inspection and if there were obvious issues. The man who answered phone was named Jeff he was super friendly and helpful, made me feel super comfortable. I ended up bringing 2 cars there and called Jeff so he knew I was coming, got right to me, and gave a full inspection as well as how much in repairs it would cost. Which I thought was over and above the level of service you get at most mechanic shops. I ended up bringing in 3rd car and again got me right in, inspected, gave me estimate and even took time to look up Kelly Blue Book price, so I would be better informed when went back to buy. I bought the car and brought the car up the next day, Jeff took the time to go over each item needing repair, gave me options on parts and possible upgrades, and then after we got finished with what I wanted, I never felt so informed from a mechanic shop. I had them do the work, it was done on time actually a little earlier than promised, and he game in under the estimated price. Now that just seemed insane, most times they always go over, and call for extra this and that, but not with American Import Auto, and I won't every go anywhere to get service work done but there and deal with Jeff. I wish I could leave 6 stars as this service was just above and beyond anything I had experienced before. Made me proud to be supporting a locally owned and operated business, I couldn't tell the owners how wonderful the man Jeff was so I figured writing this review was the next best thing. For anyone out there wanting work done on any type of automobile, call Jeff at American Import Auto, you will love the attention to detail and service provided.

A family business that from the moment you walk in the door makes you feel like family. Detail oriented to make sure your job is done right and nothing is missed. If you want great service there is no other place to go.

Great friendly service. Honest and fair business. So happy I found this place! :)

I was in Nokomis/Venice when I started having major car issues (engine failed to accelerate, lost brakes, sensors out, etc). I called American Import Auto in Venice and they were so helpful and friendly. I was able to bring my Jeep in the same afternoon I called, and they began working right away. Knowing nothing about cars (and being out of state with just my 4 year old) I could have easily been taken advantage of. American Import Auto was honest, trustworthy, provided me all the facts and information I needed to make the best and safest decision, and at a price car lower than both my dealership and hometown mechanic! I felt very good about the work they did on my vehicle, as well as their honesty regarding my car and our safety. I would recommend AIA in Venice to anyone needing a simple oil change to major repair work!

Have been bringing our small school buses for a couple decades to American Import. Awesome service! Our school has total confidence with American Import Auto. We are thankful. Additionally I bring my car and so appreciate and am relieved that my car is taken care of with honesty, great experience and expertise.

Trustworthy and Reliable repair and maintenance, friendly people, fair prices.
