STAY AWAY !!! As a recent former employee of John Bangos aka Christie Auto.. I witnessed customers bring their vehicles back multiple times for the same mechanical issues to the service shop repeatedly and witnessed the shop supervisor yell at customers.. I witnessed body and paint repairs done to below average standards ::example.. Poor prep and welding,,excessive use of body filler instead of proper metal repair..improper use of frame straightening equipment by just pulling on them and not using the provided computer for proper measurements... Cars painted outside of spray booth which is illegal and causes dirt to be in the finish... And their body repair guy sedated out of his mind.. With customers very unhappy with their service.. One of their tow truck operators was arrested for solicitation of prostitution while driving his company tow truck and was allowed to return to work upon his release.??? The dirtiest tow trucks around with outdated and antiquated equipment .. The majority of the vehicles sold off their car lot have been wrecked or have rebuild titles and are put back together with salvage parts... His labor rates are higher than most NEW car dealerships...His tires that he sells are very overpriced and a good percentage of them are being and have been sold out of date..yes tires have an expiration date !! He also jeoprodizes the safety of his employees by not repairing lifts that are not secured to the ground properly and cables and safety locks that are damaged ..I witnessed a $80,000 AMG Mercedes fall from a lift that a cable broke on.. Due to improper maintenance..Also I was not paid according to what we had discussed prior to my hiring .. Commissions were not paid for sales...extra hours deducted..no company car or gas card as promised either..my personal vehicle was also hit in the parking lot of the facilities and I was told not our problem to the tune of $800 in damages... So I recommend looking elsewhere for your service,, body repair ,, towing ,, or to purchase a car or buy tires as there are lots of other places where you will be treated more fairly and spend less money for far better service.. STAY AWAY !!!!!

First, sold me a truck with a bad transmission, acted surprised when I brought it back to them within 15 minutes of signing the paperwork, they did a transmission flush but didnt remove the old seal, so not I have a truck that randomly goes into Limp mode and leaks trans fluid. I make them replace it, Im given a Chevy Trailblazer that is literately falling apart on the inside. When I sent that back, Kevin, the owners son got in, went to shut the drivers side door, and the whole panel came off in his hand. I made payments here and there to shut them up all the while saving to put another down payment on a new car somewhere else. Its not a repo when you literately drive it into your lot, take off the plates and drive away in a new car. Sad fact is, both of these steaming piles of garbage are back out in their lot for $6000.00. There are a few hundred car dealerships in the area, avoid this one like your life depended on it. Am I still a nice guy John?

Beware of this unethical business. I was in a small fender bender on 19 last week and my car was towed there. I was told on the phone that my car was totaled and un-drivable. They told me it wouldnt start because the engine was damaged and radiator was smashed and leaking fluid. What they didnt count on was me bringing a mechanic. There was nothing wrong with my car other than a little cosmetic damage. The radiator was fine and so was the engine. It only needed to be jump started, which the manager refused to do. I had to pull the car onto the road to jump it and it started right up. The manager than tried to buy the car from me and kept upping his offer. I refused, so he jacked the price of the tow and storage to almost double what I owed. I called him a liar and he STILL kept offering to buy the car. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!.

The google reviews here are a little concerning. Ive been going here for almost 2 years and ive always been generall satisfied. Sometimes its taken a little longer than expected, sometimes the price has been a little high, but sometimes its been extra fast, sometimes cheaper than expected. Theyve thrown in extra little things like wipers, and Gary has always been pretty straightforward with me anout repairs. I have noticed that literally everyone here smokes, pretty much constantly, and one time (of the 6 or 7 times i brought my van in) the cab smelled of smoke, but it went away after an hour or 2. Its hit or miss, but they havent screwed me over like a lot of these reviews claim, and Ill continue to use them as long as that remains the truth.

Horrible service do not get fooled by the pretend nice employee in this place this place is horrible and there is a million places you can go to do not risk your time or money not only did I almost get killed in a car they sold me with my 5 kids in it days after purchase....please go some where else do not risk your life spend your money or waist your energy ..So not worth the headache will sure be reporting to the BBB as well as to commissioners office...

Family own sure, Honest? I would like to think I know what Im talking about when it comes to cars I put a few Engines in myself these days I just pay to get my car serviced. This company took advantage and will any chance they can was outrageously charge for half assed work performed but I guess its my fault for not crawling under the vehicle in the dirt and making sure they did what they said they did, 1STAR!

Kevin will work to find you a car that suits your needs and fits your budget. They have an auto repair, body shop , and towing company on site and stand behind the cars they sell. I have seen them tow in and do $900 worth of work to a car they sold as is two-weeks prior. Hands down the most ethical used car place in Florida .

Kim Meade

Great people! They answered all my questions and had my car finished when before I got off work! Everyone was friendly! They didnt treat me like I didnt know anything because I was a girl!

Steve Tyson

They fix the problem but a little on the pricey side for what little job they had $80.00 for 5 minutes weld around the flange worth of work.

Cassie Strauss

They are very honest and knowledgeable, family business, those are the kind that care. thank you for your great service.

Marcia

They sell junk cars and "John Bangos" the owner writes his own Google reviews!
