gasket replacement

I took my mother's car to a popular franchise for a oil change,the car did not have any obvious problems, I was told the car needed a new tie rod and a manifold gasket replaced. Told them to do the oil change only. Within a few weeks I started to notice one of the front tires wearing more than the rest. So now I needed to purchase tires for the front, I called several places for price quotes and found Suncoast Automotive to have the best pricing. I asked for tires & a front end alignment.  Received fast service and honesty.... the manager told me that a nut was lose on the tie rod. I had them check to see if I did need to have gasket replaced and yes, I guess it's a common problem with this particluar car. I had this work done here a few weeks later. Hate needing to pay for car repairs or maintenance, but love having a auto mechanic shop that you can trust.  Would highly recommend to anyone who asks

Honesty

I stopped here for a second opinion after *%&&$#&%* told me I needed $485 worth of brakes. I saw the brake special on the sign in front of Suncoast Automotive and pulled in to ask if that applied to my car. The Manager told me it did, but they wanted to look at my brakes before they quoted a price, so I let them. After about 10 minutes the Service Manager came in the office and took me to the shop to see my car with the wheels off. He explained that there was nothing wrong with my brakes, in fact they would last another 15 or 20 thousand miles. I explained I had just had my car serviced by another garage and showed him the quote they gave me. He checked my oil, found it was a quart low, and explained that my car should take 6 quarts, then found out that the other shop didn't even check the air in my tires! He got me fixed up, and sent me on my way after only charging me for the quart of oil the other shop forgot to put in. I will come here from now on.
Thank you Gentlemen, Richard
