Ricky from Conyers, Georgia My Family spent a week before July 4th at Anna Maria Island and were having a wonderful vacation. As luck would have it, our check engine light came on the day before we were to head back towards Atlanta (the nightmare vacation)! My Wife called at least 6 mechanic shops and nobody had time to help us because it was 4th of July holiday weekend. Most of them were booked solid. The repair was going to take 2 to 4 hours to replace a bad cylinder coil. The intake had to be removed. She finally got in touch with Begley Shell Auto Repair (thank GOD); and one of their mechanics asked us to have the car at the Manatee Avenue location early on Saturday, before our scheduled departure time back to Atlanta. Pete checked us in and our car was ready to go 2.5 hours later. We cannot thank these wonderful people enough for changing a nightmare into a miraculous event for our Family. You see, we also had our two 7 year old twin grand boys with us that suffer severely from Asthma. Pete made sure that we were taken care of and were comfortable during our stay there. I am 63 years old and would place him in the top 5 of all Managers Ive known in my life for courtesy, friendliness, and understanding. He explained our situation very simply and made the experience very enjoyable. The repair cost was fantastic!!!!! My Wife and I also want to thank the mechanic, Jeremy, for explaining everything he did very clearly and being so friendly himself. Even though this rating goes up to 5 scale with 5 being "Very Satisfied", I would have to give them a 7. After all, extra credit needs (when earned) to be given to places even out of High School for Companies like this one. Begley Shell truly has the Customer Focus attitude down pat. I work for Georgia Power Company; and I know what Customer Care is all about, believe me! We made it back to Atlanta (500 miles away) save and secure thanks to the employees at Begley. GOD Bless you all!!!!!!!!!

My review was somehow lost. I rewrite: My experience w/Sunoco has been outstanding; even more so when I learned that Pete M. was at this address, 4630 Manatee Ave. I immediately made an appointment to continue services w/him. My husband, my mother and myself used Petes service, on our 3 cars, since the mid-1980s when he was at 60th Avenue and 41. Now my husband has dementia; my mother is deceased. Yet I have the excellent care and service from Pete and Sunoco for the continued use of my car. I will never change, as long as they are together; auto care trust is a huge trust, once established. Since I needed advice, info re care of this car, plus additional assist, like using my new car jack system--whatever Ive asked--Ive received honest and thorough education and repairs from Sunoco and from Pete. My recent visit, May 20, 2015, was again, just as excellent. That Mr. Begley, the owner, additionally called me to inquire of the quality of this service is laudable. And that a ride home and back to Sunoco, after a days repair, is part of their service, is beyond what most auto repairs offer--an added treat to spend the day at home, while the car is repaired. I thank you all, including the knowledgeable service employees. Definitely 5 star service.

on 3/21/17 I left my 1998 Dodge Dakota for a new starter, when i went to pick it up it surprised me, even after they and called and gave me the cost it really did not sink in untill later after calling some parts places and was told that the starter should cost about $125.00 with the core return.I was charged $199.00 for the starter a 50% markup. I understand making some profit from the parts, this ws a little extreme.

Always loved this place!! Theyve been more than helpful for years and weve had many car issues since I was little. Pete has been a life saver on many occasions, going out of his way numerous times to get both my moms car & my van running when both were dead in the driveway. My dad used to say before he passed "call Pete! Hes the BEST IN TOWN!!"

Customer Service Experts! Took my BMW in to get the starter replaced. Done quickly and since theres a gas station attached I could pick up until 9pm which was very convenient. Great price. Excellent experience. Thanks!

Honest, reliable work and excellent customer service. They take care of our German cars as well as the dealership (but without trying to overcharge and recommend unnecessary services). Highly recommend.
