Modern cars, light trucks, and sport-utility vehicles come with complex technology such as digital dashboards, oxygen sensors, electronic computers, unibody construction, and more. They run better, longer, and more efficiently than models of years past. However, they eventually need to be replaced.

A major problem area for the cars and trucks that come into Sea Breeze Auto, are tires.

These guys are super fair and honest, won't try to rip you off or upsell you on anything you don't want or need. They get busy on holiday weekends so call ahead.

I doubt I'll be going back, which is a shame because they're nice guys. When I first started bringing my vehicles there, they did good work at reasonable prices. But, a lot of bad experiences over the past few years have soured me on Sea Breeze Automotive. Here are just some of them: long wait times for repairs, extra repairs for extra $$$ without calling me first, forgetting to order a part I needed and then laughing about it when I went by to check in, accidentally overcharging my credit card by a colossal amount (which then took days to reverse), and even being baffled by a technical issue with my evaporative fuel-fill system which I had to research and tell them how to solve.

They're not great about returning phone calls either. And I've never gone to pick up a vehicle and found my paperwork done - I always end up standing there for 15 or 20 minutes while they tally things up and generate a bill. Not long ago, my son-in-law took his car there and they botched his repair and then charged him for a tow after the failed repair caused a highway breakdown.

Most recently, I dropped off my car on a Friday morning and 5 days went by without so much as a phone call. When I stopped in on the sixth day, they still hadn't even finished looking it over. Then they charged me nearly $1600 for a set of repairs that shouldn't have cost more than $1000-1200 (rear brakes, a tire, a tune-up, 2 belts & filters, an oil change, and a state inspection).

When I picked up the car, they'd torn a chunk out of my steering wheel cover and didn't even bother to clean up the dust/residue of the old inspection sticker from off the dashboard. I really think they're just too busy for their own good and can't take the time to focus on the details that make for good customer service. Unless they seriously re-evaluate how they conduct business, you'd do well to avoid this place.

I came to the shop to swap the winter tires with summer, on the same set of wheels. While the guys were polite and invited me to take look at my car from underneath, they scratched 2 of the wheels and cracked a plastic panel by one of the lift points. The car is 4 months old. This would cost me over a thousand to fix. I would not recommend this place if you have a new vehicle and/or you care about the looks.

I went in for a brake pad and rotor replacement yesterday and they were able to get it done in a very timely manner which I appreciated because I had to get to work. However, they charged me over $800 for front and rear brake pads and rotors with cost of labor. This price is absolutely outrageous for a simple job with parts that are inexpensive. I got ripped off in hindsight as I know now that something this simple should AT MOST cost around $500.

I do not recommend going to this place and I will not be using their services again. I wish I had gone to Pepboys or somewhere generic where their prices are fair to the services provided

I'm still waiting for my diagnose, but other than that my experience with them so far has been very good and professional.

Bill and Vinnie saw me right away, figured out the problem with my tire quickly, explained to me what happened, fixed it for me, and told me what to look out for in the next few days. Thanks for a great repair experience.

Vinny was wonderful! My car was hit from behind. Vinny let me bring it by at my convenience, gave me a quick and very reasonable estimate. Drop off and pick up was immediate. Body work was perfect. Would never go anywhere else. P.S. His employees were also pleasant and accommodating

TERRIBLE SERVICE. I brought my car in for a tire plug a few years ago. I waited for almost 45 min. I figured they were busy and I was a walk in but when I went into the office to check, they laughed and said they forgot about me. I was annoyed but forgiving. Fast forward to today. I called ahead having learned from my previous experience and was told to bring my car in.

I made my presence known and proceeded to wait for 30 min. This time I didn't double check, I left. And I will never go back. * There was no one in the office. Two people showed up after me.

Been going for years and they have never let me down. Vinnie and the whole crew their are top notch. I trust them completely and don't ever bother with dealership service departments not even for a free oil change.

Was there a week ago on Tuesday March 23rd, 2021. Came in after going to several places in the area to get a simple tire plug and none of those places would do it or had me wait many hours. There is nothing wrong with plugging a tire unless the puncture is in the sidewall, and it's quick! The wheel was in the back seat of my car with a 1.5 inch nail in the tread.

No guessing where the hole is or anything like that. I asked if they could plug a tire and with no hesitation the guy said sure bring it in. I took it out of the back seat, rolled it in and I was out of there in 5 minutes! Quick, reliable and professional service. No pressure loss after a week of driving every day! Will go there in the future if I need a tire fixed!

Amazing service! I called SAME DAY for a new battery. Vinny was extremely respectful and even with a boot on his foot he had me in and out in less than 10 minutes! As soon as I showed up he was ready to go. The prices were very competitive. They hardly charged at all for the installation of the battery. Will definitely go again. Friendly staff that respects social distancing and has a clean environment is a reassuring thing during these times.

Very rude workers in there. Never had a worse experience. No respect. No common courtesy. No communication. Just ignores a potential customer for 30 minutes. I will never try to get my car in there again and strongly recommend that their boss give the 3 or 4 workers that came in Between 7:40am and 8:10, Saturday, Jan.16th, some common courtesy and work ethic training.

Worked on my hummer a few times. Good service. Quick. They get a lot of business so don't be surprised if you have to wait until the next day for service. They try very hard to have a same day turn around. A good 95% of the time they succeed. Vinny and staff is very knowledgeable of numerous vehicles. Thanks for installing my bull bar!
