I took my vehicle in to get a major repair done and I received EXCELLENT EXCELLENT SERVICE every single person I interacted with was AWESOME I feel toole’s garage are one of the last few honest places to get a vehicle serviced or repaired. I definitely had a great experience here. And they kept me updated and explained everything in detail and didn’t leave me feeling confused about my car. Definitely check them out.

Took care of my Mercedes GLE 350 like it was their own. Best service you can get on a repair, even better than Mercedes themselves. My car required major replacements and they gave it care I can trust. They have a private, gated parking lot, so your car is safe when staying overnight. They have skilled technicians that specialize in many different types of vehicles. There are friendly and helpful service writers handling the office. Their technicians include photos of the areas of concern so you can see the vehicle’s problems yourself, with complete transparency. This helped me to make a well informed decision on what work is recommended/required. And to top it all off, it even came with a solid warranty. Can’t beat that. I trust Toole’s every time.

These guys are great I towed my Ram Promaster into their shop. For a no crank no start. They diagnosed it the same day, they knew the problem 100% but said their Lock smith to make a new key retired and recommended the dealership. They didn’t charge me a single Penny. And their diagnostic was correct I got a new key and my car is running and all fixed! Thank you Toole’s you guys are great!

I had a wonderful experience bringing in my 2020 Jetta for a Check up! I had decided to go to them after reading great reviews and not wanting to go to Boardwalk where I normally had gone. I was blown away with getting immediate service from lovely professional people and my car was completely checked with pictures of each part and everything that they did – so thoroughly. It was a painless experience and I feel so confident in driving my car today. I will continue to be going to Toole’s! Thank you to them!! 😊

Toole’s Garage was great to work with. Their place is very organized, clean and welcoming. I had gone to “stress free” two times they kept checking my vehicle out with “no problems”. Not to mention they kept my car for more than a day, leaving me car-less and with no car available to loan me. Came here and they found the problem right away. Provided me with a loaner (yes I had to pay, but they had one available). Provided pictures and detail on things that needed to get done. Finding the problem took less than a day. Car was ready for pick up within 2 days. Definitely would recommend.

Highly recommend. Superb customer service. They provided a really quick and detailed estimate and then followed it up with recommendations after the service. All very well documented with photos. They make it incredibly easy. Very efficient and very reasonable prices. We’re so glad we’ve found somewhere local that offer such great service for our high end vehicles (Mercedes AMGs). Won’t be going anywhere else from here onwards.

Great service for my F250HD Diesel! Friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and accommodating. Not the cheapest but so far the quality is worth the cost. Clear estimate and explanation of work, additional charges over estimate were minimal and completely explained. I'll be back!

I have to admit I was extremely impressed. It was my first time to the shop. You always wonder what a new place is going to look and feel like and what type of service you’ll get, especially as a woman (sad to say!) The shop was extremely clean and every technician/staff I interacted with were polite, knowledgeable and very positive. I spent a lot of money on an old Honda but I knew it was worth it. Where I was really impressed was a full photo collage in about two minutes of the intake of the car, a photo of every aspect of the work (oil dipstick, brake gauge, fluid levels, etc.,) so there’s no question they did the work! The technician included their name in case there was a question, so there’s was good accountability! (Some places you wonder if they really did the work they said they were doing!) Toole’s did extra things at no charge, such as charging the battery, filling tires, and securing a dumb plastic cover that used to fly open while driving down near my knees. The shop is close to home so I can walk home after drop off and they are open until 5:30, and making it fast and easy to pick up after work. I will definitely be taking my three cars to Toole’s for the friendly & trustworthy service, for those little extras and the cleanliness of the shop. Thank you!
