We started taking our cars here about a year ago and they did pretty decent work, and the prices were okay, but nothing great. Then, we took our car in for a problem we werent sure about, and they told us our A/C compressor needed to be replaced and it would fix the problem. $900 later, we go to pick up our car and the mechanic said "hold on, let me drive it around the block to make sure we got it fixed" which I was a little unsure about but just really needed my car back, so I didnt speak up. Two weeks later the problem returns, and I called them back to complain and the guy told me to bring it in and take a look, and he mentioned a few things that it could be. He then quoted me prices of anywhere between $200 and $800, to which I said, no Ive already paid you to fix the problem, are you telling me you dont stand behind your work? He said well, the A/C compressor may not have been the cause. Sorry guys this is not experimental surgery, and youve already taken enough of my hard earned money. A few months later (I couldnt afford to have it looked at until then) I took it in to another mechanic who fixed the problem for $65 with parts and labor and its been running fine ever since. While Hi-Tech may have fixed something we needed fixed, its not what we asked for and I dont trust someone who doesnt fix it right the first time, and stand behind their work.

I lucked onto Hi Tech when my sisters car had to be towed to a dealer for a repair and the driver mentioned Hi Tech as an alternative when he learned what the dealer was charging for a repair. I was amazed what price Hi Tech did the job for compared to what the dealer quoted us. I have been taking my cars to Joe and the good people at Hi Tech Automotive ever since. Hi Tech is a family run company and from my experiences they operate with the highest in morals and integrity. At one point they were unable to repair my Passat (No bad marks on them as the dealer couldnt even figure it out after 2 weeks and I got rid of the car) and Hi Tech made things right. Its easy to be a happy customer when you save money and the job is done fast, but Joe was able to keep me as a customer and a very happy one even when my car was uncooperative. He went out of his way, spent his own time and money to make it right and I appreciate everything he has done. I have found my family mechanic and need look no further. If you want an honest, respectful, capable, timely, affordable shop to take care of your vehicles top to bottom this is the only name you need to know: Hi Tech Automotive.

This business is another unfortunate example that a handshake and a persons word just doesnt mean what it used to. I was very disappointed with my experience at Hi Tech Automotive. I took my truck there after purchasing it primarily because it had a brake warning light on. 3 weeks later I was charged $3000 dollars and got back a truck with a brake warning light on. Not only that but my dashboard was broken into pieces, the stereo no longer worked, and the "new" A/C they installed made a loud squeaking noise when I turned it on. I have no stereo and get cold air with a headache. Not to mention my steering wheel wasnt put back on straight so I have to lean to the left to see what speed I am travelling at. It clearly states on my invoice that "vehicle is leaving with a brake light on dash. Instructed customer we will call when part is in and Hi Tech will handle the problem." It has almost been a month now and I havent gotten that call. This is not how you treat customers....

My new go-to shop for routine maintenance. The staff is courteous and prompt, and the appointment-based scheduling means a lot less sitting on my butt waiting for someone elses car to roll off the lift. Have received some services without charge (inspections, etc.) where other shops wouldve run me $30 per procedure just because I bothered them, and have been talked out of unknowingly paying for what I didnt need, as opposed to other shops tendency to try selling me on expensive and ridiculous overhauls of parts of the car that are totally fine. Prices have been highly reasonable which is awesome considering I live check-to-check. Theyve gone out of their way to establish trust with me, and that means a lot. Ive been recommending this place to all of my friends and family.

I have been a HI Tech customer for the past 7 years. Joe, Gary and the gang have gone above and beyond helping me keep my vehicles safely on the road. Advising me what repairs where necessary and what repairs could wait. They have quickly returned me on the road so I could get back to work, despite the fact that the part they needed only arrived moments earlier. I could go on and on with stories about how amazing Hitech is. Needless to say HiTech has earned my families business and we will be adding our soon to be 16 y/o daughter to their customer list! I wonder if they will bubble wrap a car?!

After moving every two years with the military and never developing any ties with the local community and businesses, our last move took us to the Brandon/FishHawk area where we are finally establishing some roots. Thankfully a neighbor referred us to Joe Canfield and Hi Tech Automotive. We are now developing those ties by supporting those local businesses that are the best - and Hi Tech Auto is at the top of our list! If you are new to the area and looking for a reliable,HONEST and friendly auto repair shop, give Joe and his staff a call. You wont be disappointed.

Honest and professional, competent and reasonably priced. What else can be said? I have had four separate vehicles repaired here over the past 10 years, and I have no complaints. I went there the first time when they were recommended by AAA. Been going there ever since. There are some negative reviews here. But if you read them, you can figure out quickly the real reason why they were venting. And it had little to do with the service they received. Just saying....

You dont need to keep looking, I have had Hi Tech do all my work for 6 years on my 07 F 150 FX4. Every single time I get work done they do a great job at a fair price. I have had to have my truck towed to them twice and they didnt tack on money for the tow bill. This is the most honest shop around. If you had an issue with them it is most likely because of you. Every time they delivered on their promise and keep me rolling. Wont trust my truck to anyone else.

I have taken my vehicle to them 3 different times now. Mostly for minor things. The first time they fixed the problem and charged me just for the cheap part. They are really honest and explain why they need to do what they need to do and they walk you through it. They have a lot of integrity and are proud of the work they do. It shows! Everyone I know who goes there has nothing but good things to say about them. Try them. You wont be disappointed.
