About Coastal Auto Repair

No surprises. No runaround. We show you what's worn before we replace it. We call before we do anything. That's how we've stayed in business for almost 30 years. My dad started this shop in 1997 and the philosophy hasn't changed — treat people the way you want to be treated and the business takes care of itself.

We've invested heavily in diagnostic technology because guessing costs you money. Snap-on scan tools, digital inspection cameras, oscilloscopes, and the latest OBD-II software. When your check engine light comes on, we don't just pull a code and throw parts at it — we actually diagnose the problem. That $49 diagnostic fee saves you hundreds because we find the real issue, not the most expensive possibility.

We work on everything. Daily drivers, work trucks, family SUVs, imports, domestics — if it has an engine, we fix it. We also love the classics. Guys bring in their Mustangs, Camaros, old C10s, and we know how to work on carbureted engines and points ignition just as well as modern fuel injection. Not every shop can say that anymore.

Here's how the show-before-you-fix process works. You drop off the car or wait in our lobby. We put it on the lift, inspect it, and before we touch a single bolt, we come get you. We show you the worn brake pads, the leaking gasket, the cracked belt — whatever it is. We take a photo if you can't come to the bay. We explain what it is, why it matters, and what it costs. You say yes or no. If you say no, you owe us nothing but the diagnostic. We never do work you didn't approve. Period.

Veteran owned. Family operated. ASE certified across the board. Every mechanic has 10+ years of experience. Most repairs same day. Fair prices. Honest work.

We're not the cheapest shop in Jacksonville and we're not trying to be. We're the shop you trust with your daughter's first car and your wife's daily driver. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
