On 7-31-25 I paid Skips Automotive to do a full diagnostic inspection on my new to me Dodge. At that time it had approx 11,500 miles driven. This resulted in Rob Wong advising the car needs new front brake pads and rotors. I was charged a job deposit of $1220.00 for front brakes pads and rotors and waited to be told the parts were in. I haven’t worked in the automotive industry so I view myself as a lay person. In my opinion, brakes are either good or not good. A few days later I called Rob stating that there was no squeaking, pulling of the steering wheel or pulsing coming from the front and asked his opinion on whether it was safe to continue driving. He stated “it should be safe to drive.” The next few days I went to 3 other service shops for brake inspection. Most folks wouldnt have the time, money or fortitude to do this. At 11,544 miles Firestone found 6-7 mm left on the pads and rotors which were said to be 60% of life left. At 11,624 Tires Plus inspected the brakes. Again 6mm of pad remaining. They determined that service wasnt needed. The 3rd, Dodge of Sarasota, inspected the brakes at 12,721 and found 60% life left of both pads and rotors and stated “no brake work i

brought my rare, mint-condition Cadillac ATS-V ,from Miami to Skip’s Automotive for a full setup.. high-pressure fuel pump, auxiliary low-pressure pump, transmission fluid, rear diff, and oil change. These guys went above and beyond. We had a little confusion with the auxiliary pump install info, but Skip and his team were awesome about it , professional, and even worked Saturday and Sunday to make sure everything was done right. That kind of dedication is hard to find. Huge shout out to Tony for his dedication , knowledge and time.. The car runs perfect now, and after the final tune we pulled around 650 horsepower to the wheels. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Honest, knowledgeable, and stand-up people..otally worth the drive from Miami. I’ll definitely be back.

Best Performance shop in Sarasota, FL and surrounding areas. I have a C7 Z06 that they tuned. Did an amazing job. Rob went above and beyond as my car was only making 4psi of boost, he knew it should be higher so he found out the previous owner/dealer capped off an important fitting which should be uncapped. Doing that made car go from 4psi to 9.5psi of boost. A week after being tuned my car had work done at dealer (under warranty) and they ‘reflashed’ the tune back to stock so one call to Rob and he just said stop back in and he immediately reloaded his tune into the car. No charge; they again, go above and beyond. I will ONLY be taking my car to Skips going forward. I am driving my car for 1 week to ensure warranty issue is fixed, then next appointment to drop off car for ported blower, lower pulley and re-tune. I will keep everyone updated as I continue to get work done. So far 5 stars! I was worried about the few 1 star’s at first (I’m picky with my car) —> But Rob removed ALL doubts with his work, his service and just 5 stars. (Rob is the best tuner I’ve seen) Thanks!
