“This has been my auto center for at least 12 years. Steve manages a well trained staff! Steve is very helpful when it comes to not so knowledgeable people like myself to understand and be involved in the decision making process. My husband and I trust him impeccably! Won't go anywhere else.”

“Lobby clean, coffee ready and instant help. Immaculate work area (something my Dad, a mechanic, highly respected) hard working staff, great explanation following assessment of my vehicle, including photos to “see” the concern with outstanding attention to detail. My truck drives better than it has for months! It’s my pleasure to recommend this outstanding business! Thank you for keeping me and my family safe💖”

“Steve, Chris & the team are exceptional. I've been bringing my vehicle to them for more than 5 years & won't go any place else even though I've moved an extra 10 miles away. There has never been a problem that they haven't been able to fix. Its always done right the first time & at a fair price. I feel very blessed that I have found such an honest, gifted group of mechanics that I can trust. I can only give them the best rating of 5 stars. Thanks guys, you're very much appreciated!”

“Steve and his crew are top notch! We've been using them exclusively for our entire family's vehicles for about 3 years now. We have been well taken care of from oil changes to major issues. They're honest, great at what they do, and they have always made us feel like they're just taking care of family when we walk through those doors. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!”

“I had a problem with my car's electrical system one night and, being an out of towner, Tire Choice was recommended to me by a local resident. Boy was that a mistake! After 3 days of zero communication or a diagnosis of my car, I sought out Tuffy. I have always had a good experience with the impeccable standards that Tuffy offers and the location in Fort Myers was no different. Nick, the head manager, and Steve were beyond helpful. They not only kept me informed of their process the entire way and quickly repaired my car, but they also managed to save me from spending more than necessary by ensuring that give me the same warranty for a used part as they would for a new one. When I got my car back, I had some residual issue with a fuse. I brought the car back in and they repaired the issue at no extra cost. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in the area unfortunate enough to have any car trouble in the area. They were also open on a Thanksgiving! Thank you Nick, Steve, and Chris for giving me exactly what I expect from Tuffy. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all and God bless!”

“I am new to the area and needed a muffler for my daughter’s car. I searched places and reviews and this Tuffy service center was rated very high. After bringing my car in, I can see why. Very honest. They did a complimentary overview and found the front brakes to be very dangerous. Steve showed me the rotors, pads and calipers then explained why they were bad and what needed to be done to replace. He also showed me what new ones look like so that I could see the difference!!!! Steve gave me the best price possible and my car was ready and safe to drive with new brakes and a repaired muffler the same day. I have found my new repair shop and will definitely pass it on!!!! Thanks again Steve!”

“On my way to work I suddenly heard that awful sound of air escaping my tire. It was LOUD!!! Upon stopping at a motorcycle shop and getting help from the owner with the doughnut tire - he referred this Tuffy Auto Service Center as not only the closest (1/2 mile away) but also personally known for great and trustworthy service. And that is exactly what I received from the men at Tuffy’s. And even though they were busy and had a bay load of vehicles - they had my tire all plugged up and on the car within 10 mins and made it to work on time. This surprised me because after telling me it’d be 1 1/2 hrs before they could get to me - I was told to pull up and wait in the lobby so they could check the air. I thought they meant the air in the doughnut so that I could drive to work safely and come back later for the plug. What a nice surprise from them and the price could not be beat!! Thanks, guys!!! Tracy. ”

“Steve was extremely knowledgeable when it came to my questions and concerns as the Kia dealership quoted me $900 more than Tuffy, for the exact same service. Tuffy got the job done in a few hours that same day, andddddd called to make sure I got everything I needed. Beyond pleased with their customer service, how upfront they are, the quality of their work, and their honesty. Would highly recommend checking with them before going else where, as they saved me $900!!”

“I highly recommend this Tuffy for any kind of service on your car. I came in with a alert that I had low coolant and as soon as my engine cooled down enough to open the coolant reservoir, they added the correct amount and didn’t charge me for the time or coolant. The manager is extremely nice and personable and will not try to rip you off like other shops. Highly recommended ”

“Came in as a first timer needing an oil change for both mine & my husband's cars. I made an appt. for the next day but upon leaving I ripped the whole front end of my husband's car off at the concrete parking curb. Not only did they fix it for free (it was my fault), but they showed me areas on the car that needed serious attention or would cost me dearly in the end if not fixed. I signed up for the Tuffy charge account which literally only took a couple minutes and was able to get the most serious repairs done the next day. I was there 5 hours(I was offered a ride home till completed but chose to stay) & I witnessed Steve the manager interacting with personnel, phone calls and walk in customers. He impressed me greatly! I have found my go to place for car repairs and am one very happy customer!!!”

“I have been taking my vehicles to Tuffy's in San Carlos Park since they first opened near Alico rd. in 2000. Their service is second to none. My wife and I moved to San Carlos in 1980. When Tom and Jeanne opened tuffy in 2000 we took our vehicle there for repairs. Since it was our only car they gave us a ride home and picked us up when repairs were done. They are the absolute best in southwest Fla.”

“Can't say enough great things about Nick, Steve, and staff. We recently moved to the area and were hoping to find an honest, reliable, and competent full-service establishment. We read some reviews and since they were literally down the street we decided to give them a try. We had just purchased a used car from a local dealer and took it to Tuffy because we detected a bad vibration when on the highway. After the courtesy inspection, we were made aware of numerous issues, including tires that were so dry-rotted the staff was amazed that we were still driving on them. We were hesitant at first but Steve gave us a great deal on 4 premium tires along with some other parts and services which were required. I approached the dealer to make them aware of the issues, as well as my disappointment, and they purchased and gave us one of the replacement parts. We took it back to Tuffy and had them perform the service, as we didn't trust the dealer's mechanic to do the work. Then, the dealer even offered to pay for our next oil change at Tuffy because we wouldn't let his mechanic touch our vehicle again!! While we were waiting for our new tires and other services the first day, I noticed that every customer that came in was a returning client. Steve was interacting with everyone like they were his friend or neighbor. I wish we had met these guys before we bought the car but hopefully they can help us get at least another 100,000 miles out of it!! I will definitely send them business whenever possible and even told that dealer to switch from Meineke to Tuffy for work on any of their cars in the future!!”

“Steve, Nick, and the rest of the staff at Tuffy South Fort Myers are first rate. My car wasn't running right, and I had no idea what was wrong. I recently moved from Pennsylvania and didn't know where to take my car. I was used to going to a small shop in my PA town, guys who were honest and really knew what they were doing. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find a place run by people who were like that. A friend said she takes her car to this Tuffy auto center and that Steve, the manager is great: honest, knowledgeable, friendly, a guy you can trust. I am so glad that she told me about this service center! My car now runs great! I feel that I can trust my car to Steve and the others at Tuffy. I waited for the work on my car to be done, so I had the chance to see Steve interact with other customers. It immediately became clear that Steve is a good guy who knows his stuff and does all he can to help his customers. I'm happy to report that I now have a car place in Florida! If you are looking for someone to work on your car, give the staff at this Tuffy a try! You'll be happy that you did.”

I checked the prices and they ware very competitive. The job was done quickly and Nick was especially helpful in giving me guidance. I paid to have the car aligned a month prior but Nick noticed it wasn't right. He aligned the car and provided proof of the out of alignment. Luckily Pep Boys (no laughs please) agreed to refund what they charged and all should be good from here. ”

“I went to Tuffy in San Carlos Park because my brakes were making a noise only in the morning. When I arrived the shop was very busy and Steve the Manager was very polite and professional. They took the time to pull all my tires and inspect my complete brake system. Steve explained that all my brakes were in great shape and the there where no issues with my brakes. It's a good feeling that they are an HONEST shops that won't sell you something that is not needed. I live in the area and will always come to Tuffy for my vehicle repairs and service. Steve and the crew know what they are doing and it's a great feeling knowing that. When it was back together and outside I asked how much I owed them and Steve said no charge for brake inspections. WOW!!!!! Thanks Tuffy ”

“I have been using Tuffy for a few years now. Steve and his crew are great! They stand behind their work. I was in there recently and observed Steve telling a customer he did not need new brakes.

“My car has over 40,000 miles and I thought it best to have my brakes checked. I went to shop near my home and after their inspection they told me that I needed new rotors and brake pads now on all four wheels at an estimated cost of over $800. I then read reviews on several other shops and discovered Tuffy with a very high rating. When I arrived even without an appointment, they drove my car first and then took a look at my brakes and concluded that nothing needed to be done at this time and that I had maybe 10,000 or more miles left before anything needed to be done… And they took the time to actually show me the rotors that were not scored and looked to be in good shape. They passed up an opportunity to sell me an expensive brake job but instead gave great customer service... putting the customer ahead of them making a quick profit. Refreshing to know there are still honest people in the car repair business...very professional and I certainly recommend them highly!”

“I brought my auto to Tuffy's on 6/19 and feel I have finally discovered an honest service station. On 6/6 I brought my car to Galeana KIA, where I purchased it and have had it serviced. The car was not starting all the time. They replaced the battery which I expected. I was also told that I needed front brakes. I was surprised since I had an oil change on 3/8 and had travelled only 2291 miles. Below is the technician reports for both visits: 6/6 3/8 front 3mm lt. 3mm rt 6mm lt. 6mm rt rear 8mm lt. 8mm rt 7mm lt. 7mm rt I knew something was not right and said I wanted to think about this. How could my front brakes wear 3mm in 2,291 miles and how could my rear brakes improve 1mm. On 6/19 I met Steve Joslin, the Tuffy's Service Manager, and he took the time to take me into the service bay and show me my brake pads and show me what new brake pads look like. My brakes look great. The front brakes are at 60% and the rear at 80%. I will never bring my car to Galeana KIA again and count my blessings that Tuffy's was recommended to me. Thank you Steve for your honesty. ”

“Steve and his crew are truly awesome people. They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I am typically very insistent about doing all of my own work on my vehicles but lately have not had the time. After having a handful good experiences at their shop getting tires mounted/balanced/patched, I decided to take my truck in for an alignment and tire rotation. I left my truck with them and took an Uber home, after a few hours Steve called me and insisted that I came back to the shop to see the many issues and worn out parts that were going to need replaced in the front end of my truck. I told him that I would head that way, just had to call an Uber he instantly replied "don't worry about paying for an Uber, I am coming to pick you up." They picked me up, we discussed the issues at hand and what we were going to replace and then they drove me back home. Steve and his crew really understand the true meaning of customer service. To be 100% honest, before working with Steve and his crew I would never take any of my vehicles to a chain mechanic shop for anything but tires. I am glad to know that I have a shop near by that is capable of doing the right thing, the right way, at a fair price.”

“Steve and his team (Chris), did a fantastic job on my Mothers Pontiac G6. We thought we needed an entire exhaust system costing around $800. Turns out all we needed was an exhaust gasket and kit. The savings was tremendous, and the repairs took a little more than 1 hour, including ordering and having parts delivered and installed. Steve was able to get us in for the repair even though he had every bay full. We definitely will bring this vehicle back in the future.”

Everything from inspecting it top to bottom, explaining what was wrong and what it would take to fix it, to bringing the car back to me because I couldn't leave work was way more than I ever expected. Having been burned by mechanics in the past made me wary of unnecessary repairs, but Steve put those fears to rest. This is a place you can trust to do the right thing and not try to rip you off. I'll be telling everybody about my wonderful experience and recommending them to everyone who needs repairs. Steve and his crew won me over and made me a customer for life!”

I liked that they gave straight forward advice and solutions, and weren't trying to price gouge me. Great service from a friendly staff! I will recommend them to all of my friends in Ft Myers and look forward to doing business with them the next time I visit Ft Myers.”

“After the "Dealership" my company has used for 4 years failed to service a major repair for one of my vehicles, a friend told me to go to Tuffy's on S. Tamiami Trail. They fixed my car is record time with precision and got it back in service. Since then they have taken over care of my humble fleet of cars. Very glad I found a shop I can depend on to keep my cars is service! If my cars aren't running, my business is losing money! Thank you guys!”

“As long time (7 years) customers of Steve and Nick, my wife and I know what to expect when we leave our cars for servicing. That expectation is always met, so much that when Steve or Nick calls and says they saw a potential problem we don't hesitate to give the go ahead. I drive more than 40,000 miles a year and I feel that Steve is always looking out for me so that I don't have a problem on the road. I appreciate that very much. Steve runs a tight ship and it shows. I refer everyone to Steve when the conversation comes up. Don't hesitate, they are terrific and if you are unsure, drive by any day and see all of the customer cars parked in front. That means the back is full also”

“I drove from Dallas, Texas to Mobile, Alabama to Birmingham, Alabama to West Palm then to Ft Myers for work... I thought I had a minor brake issue but after Steve explained to me what the REAL issue, not only did he show concern for my safety, he/they really looked out for me. I needed a lot of work done.. Steve and his team did an incredible job & were very fast with the repairs! My overall experience was EXCELLENT and I'd HIGHLY recommend Tuffy's for ANY car repairs.. I'm scheduled to be in the Ft Myers area for about 6 months... If I need ANY car maintenance, I'm goin to Tuffy's! And, again, I HIGHLY recommend Steve and his staff.. Thanks again!!”

“Steve and Nick were, for lack of a better word, PERFECT! Not only did they let me know the issues with my car, which made it clearly unsafe for driving, they made me feel like I was an individual rather than just another person walking through the door. Nobody wants to break the bank when it comes to fixing their car, and I feel like I got more than what I actually paid for. Everyone there is very down-to-earth and personable, and that's really what matters when it comes to finding a long-lasting place to bring your car. Dan and Chris did an awesome job with the repairs and making my car like new again! I was there the same day Nicole McHenry was there and she was not only rude but making it seem like everyone (but herself) was at fault for her car being in poor shape. Being a mechanic requires a very advanced skill-set, that's why people take their cars to auto-shops; even if they changed nothing to your car, their time is worth more than the $25 you may end up paying. These guys are amazing and I wouldn't go anywhere else. ”

“Pick up a nail in my tire close to Tuffys, I had done business with Tuffys locations before and knew what to expect. I called the location and talked to Steve who was very professional, he said they were busy but could get me in shortly. I dropped the car off and sat outside. Steve also told me the brand new tires I had bought the day before at a "non Tuffy" location, were put on the back instead of the front, he rotated my tires at no cost while patching the other tire for me. Overall, once again Tuffy gets a 5 star from me, I will be returning.”

“Tuffy South Fort Myers was recommended to me by a friend that uses Tuffy for service and I would describe him as a knowledgeable “Car Enthusiast; I had been told by another service center that I need a brake job very soon on the front brakes. Steve the Manager of Tuffy was direct and straightforward and suggested that he would pull all four tires and inspect the pads and rotors. As I was not able to wait that day, he made an appointment a few days later. That saved me a $700 -$900 unneeded break job. Steve showed me the pads and his opinion was, that pe in a year I should have them checked again because no brake service was neede at this time. No other service center or dealer ever encouraged me to personally inspect/see the brake pads. As someone with only rudimentary car mechanical knowledge, I depend on honesty; and will bring my other cars to Steve and his crew at Tuffy because I believe that this shop does provide an honest appraisal and recommendations.

“I was very impressed with the concern Steve, store manager, had for the extremely poor condition of my tires. I was going to wait to have them replaced but felt with his knowledge and advice, I should do this immediately. I called on a Saturday and he was able to get it done that day. Also, I truly appreciate the fact that there was a bible on the table in the lounge area which I enjoyed reading while waiting. More businesses need honest, caring and professional personnel like Steve.”

“Out of all the places in this city that I have taken my car Tuffy's on S Tamiami Trail is the best, the Manager Steve really watches out for his customers and their vehicle's. They put the customer first, they advise me of possible future problems and warn me of critical issues I have now. Steve and his crew are polite and hard working, you get the value and service you pay for.

We had a tire blow out on our box trailer and they were about to close he said he didn't want to leave us stranded so they stayed open and put four new tires on our trailer. He even gave us water for the dog. The place was very clean and we were on our way in no time. Steve is an excellent stand-up guy.”

“I recently brought my Scion to a Local Toyota dealership in the Naples area because of a rattle over the rear view mirror. I was told I really needed brakes and new tires. My son, who is in the business, told me to get another opinion from Tuffy's. As it turned out, my maintenance light came on so I called Tuffy's to get an oil change...and to check the brakes and tires. Needless to say, I did not need brakes and tires at this time. Steve's professionalism and honesty is A+ in my book. I will be his customer for future services to my car. Thanks to Steve and his staff!!!”

“I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH STEVE FOR A FREE OIL CHANGE THAT I PURCHASED AT A SILENT AUCTION FOR SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER. I MENTIONED THAT I HAD A FREE OIL CHANGE CERTIFICATE AND I THOUGHT I WOULD BE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND FOR AN APPOINTMENT. BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. THEY HAD AN OPENING IN A FEW DAYS IN THE AM WHICH I PREFER AND I BOOKED IT. WHEN I ARRIVED NICK TOOK MY INFORMATION AND OFFERED ME A COFFEE FROM THE COFFEE STATION AND SAID TO MAKE MY SELF COMFORTABLE AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT AN HOUR SINCE I WAS WAITING FOR THE CAR. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT OF PHONE CALLS THEY WERE RECEIVING AND THE PLEASANT WAY NICK HANDLED EACH CALL. THE WAITING AREA WAS CLEAN, NEAT, AND COMFORTABLE. THE COFFEE WAS GOOD TOO. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IN THE WAITING ROOM AND WE STARTED TO TALK. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS A NEW CUSTOMER AND THEY ALL SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF THE TUFFY LOCATION AND THE STAFF. SOON AFTER I SAW MY CAR ON THE RACK STEVE CAME IN, INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO ME AND SAID THAT MY FRONT BRAKES WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, AND THAT MY TIRES WERE VERY LOW ON TREAD. I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES SOON BUT I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE BRAKES. HE SAID THAT I COULD WAIT ON THE TIRES BUT THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED IF NOT TODAY VERY SOON. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD DO THE OIL CHANGE AND HE WOULD COME BACK TO SEE WHAT I WANTED TO DO, IF ANYTHING ELSE TODAY. I DECIDED TO GET THE FRONT BRAKES DONE AND HE HAD THE TIRES IN STOCK - AND THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL PAYMENT PLAN THAT I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR . THERE WAS NO PRESSURE IN THE SALE OF THE TIRES OR THE BRAKES. HE LEFT THAT DECISION UP TO ME. I THINK I DID THE RIGHT THING. THEN HE SAID THE CAR WOULD BE THERE FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND THAT ONE OF THE FELLAS THERE, THE OWNER, WOULD BE HAPPY TO DRIVE ME HOME IF I HAD SOMEONE TO BRING ME BACK TO PICK UP THE CAR WHEN IT WAS DONE. I TOOK HIM UP ON THE OFFER FOR THE RIDE. NICK CALLED ME BEFORE THE CAR WAS DONE AND I GOT A RIDE BACK TO TUFFYS. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY WERE GETTING READY TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR. NICK EXPLAINED WHAT WAS DONE, AND WHAT I SHOULD LOOK FOR AS I WILL NEED TO GET THE BACK BRAKES DONE IN THE FUTURE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED AND AWAY I WENT. FEELING SATISFIED CUSTOMER AND LIKE I NOW BELONG TO THE TUFFY FAMILY. WE WENT OUT TO DINNER WITH FRIENDS TONIGHT AND I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE AT OUR TABLE ABOUT TUFFY'S AND HOW I WAS TREATED, ETC. THANKS FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME . JO ANN SHANER”

“Our Jeep's right front tire was losing air from a slow leak. We were on our way to attach the Jeep to our RV for a weekend camping trip and it was fully loaded with gear and groceries. We made the decision to purchase 4 tires for safety reasons and Steve allowed us to unload our Jeep into his personal truck so that we could transfer perishables to the RV while they mounted the tires. The two hours that would have been wasted sitting in the waiting area were replaced by Steve's thoughtful and generous act. We thank you Steve and Tuffy South Fort Myers!”

“Steve Joslin, Service Manager, was very courteous to me. They were extremely busy and he worked my car's repair into their schedule. Because they are located on a very high traffic road, he did not want me to try to walk across it with a cane. He had one of his workers go to McDonald's and purchase a hamburger and cup of coffee for me to have while I was waiting. That's service!

“Everyone has horror stories when it comes to their car mechanics. The way most of them do business is to lie, cheat and deceive, to get your money. Most take advantage of people in their desperate state. Tuffys in San Carlos Park does not abide be these standard rules. I have been going to them for my mechanic needs for years. They go to great lengths for their customers and provide excellent service, not to mention their honesty. Steve and Robert are awesome, they will not sugar coat the situation and tell you like it is. They will not lie or cheat to get your money on the contrary they are honest people. If your car is not worth fixing or if it’s unsafe they will tell you as such. I myself had trouble with my cars computer. They had to change it out 5 times until they finally found one that worked. It was not cheap by any means. However, they worked relentlessly to get my problem resolved at the lowest possible price. I definitely highly recommend anyone to go see them, you can rest assured that they will not charge you unnecessary repairs. ”
