Brought our car in for several maintenance and repair items, including full set of tires. Sometime during the tire install the TPMS system was not functioning properly and/or being finicky about recognizing a rebuilt/replaced module. The guys worked really hard to get it resolved but were not able to get it done by the time I needed the car back. Brian, who took over the job of advisor half way through the work, acted quickly and made a few decisions that made a bad situation turn out well. When all was said and done, the guys even delivered the car to my wife rather than having her figure out how to go pickup the car with 3 kids. Top notch service! Weve been taking all of our vehicles here for everything for the past 2 years and have almost 100% happiness with everyone there. Landrover, BMW, mini, Toyota, jeep, doesnt matter what we throw at them, they can do it. Please keep it up, its so hard to find a shop that is polite, professional, and willing to go the extra mile.

Highly recommend Tuffy. I have brought my cars to Tuffy over the past few years and always got excellent service. Today I needed service asap and they went above and beyond to have it done timely. I am very appreciative of their services. Very professional and will be returning to them in the future.

Spent a fun day with the gang at Tuffy's. Had to replace a part that was making noise. After several attempts to solve the problem, and replacing things that turned out not to be the problem, The guys there made it right and treated me with the respect you would want from your service techs. Even got me a rental car because it took them longer than amagined to solve the mystery. I will always take my car to Tuffy's, there is no question that they will make sure you are well taken care of. I now consider them as my friends, because other places would have replaced parts and charged you for them, even if you didnt need them, not Tuffy's They have my respect, and graditude. Thanks guys, you are Awesome.

I bring both of our vehicles to Tuffy's for any repair work we need done. The prices are fair and the service is excellent. I once needed a full transmission replacement and they worked me into the schedule the same day. Very reliable - Highly recommend

We had a lot of work done to restore a high mileage 2008 Suburban, including shocks, rocker arms, power steering, differential, exhaust, etc. Kyle worked with us to arrange a quality repair that was affordable. When we had to follow up due to a manufacturer issue with a replacement part, the team at Tuffy worked with us until the repair was right. We now anticipate another 50,000 miles of use without anything major to repair. Excellent customer service and a strong commitment to getting the work right. Tuffy is well worth the expense, and they go the extra mile.

Continually providing excellent service! Just the other day Kyle went out of his way to assist me with my hood latch. After I returned thinking that Tuffy had broken my hood latch during a serving, Kyle was determined to make things right. Later it was evident that Tuffy was not at fault, Kyle and other service partners were extremely helpful and gracious.. I will not take my Honda Odyssey anywhere else!

I had a oil/engine leakage issue with my 2005 BMW 325i. Tuffy diagnosed the problem and where it was coming from very quickly. They gave me an estimate to repair and stuck to it. They are Top Notch in my book, Service was FANTASTIC!

These guys just get better each time we go there with a vehicle issue. Brought my 2013 Buick Lacrosse in with some sort of module/electrical problem. Once they diagnosed it, they asked if we were the original owners. Kyle worked with GM to get work done under warranty as we are the only owners. I will be bringing my vehicles (3) to them going forward. Highly recommend.

Due to my own error when installing my new battery I crossed cables and completely killed the car. Nothing, no lights. no radio, etc. I debated should I bring the car to the dealer or have the car towed locally. Tuffy had done work for me yrs ago so I actually drove to their site first thing am and asked them sincerely if this was something they could handle and they said yes, Had the car towed to them and I am thinking in my head a few thousand to cover my mistake. Long story short Justin/Keith and the whole team were very responsive, courteous etc and I walked away with a tab of a few hundred which I was shocked. I am not generalizing any mechanic or dealer but my gut reaction was if any other shop was a bit dishonest they could have taken me for a large bill, Very happy with Tuffy's and I am being totally honest that I am extremely relieved and satisfied. Bottom line good people

I started using Tuffy on Race Track Road in 2012. No other auto repair company has laid a wrench on my Toyota Tacoma. I have over 137,000 miles on this truck, and its running great. Service is great. I have recommended them to my neighbors and friends.

I have a 2006 Mazda Tribute that Tuffy has been servicing since I purchased the car brand new. I currently have 210,000 miles on the car and she runs like the first day I purchased the car thanks to Brian, Justin and the rest of the mechanics at the St Johns Tuffy servicing the car properly and when brakes, etc., needed replacement they would tell me what needed to be done. All of our other vehicles (wife) also only go to Tuffys, they are the best.

We have been using the Tuffy on Racetrack for over 5 years. Ben and his team are top-notch. We consistently receive great service and they truly work with you based on what you need. In a rare case where something needs to be revisited, they have more than stood behind their work. Fair, knowledgeable, convenient, and professional. I would certainly recommend them for all your regular vehicle service and repair needs!

I have been doing business with Tuffy's for many years. I find them to be honest, dependable and fairly priced. Justin, Brian and the rest of the crew put the customer first. They properly raise issues they find during the inspection but dont just find things to sell you. I have come to trust them as my auto shop and take all our cars there, even the new ones. I can recommend them highly to anyone looking for a place to service their car or truck.

I moved here from NY and had no idea where to take my car for service. Based on reviews i decided to give them a shot. Since the first time I brought my vehicle to Tuffys they have been honest about the repairs. I had taken my Honda to get brakes in Jax Beach, but heard a noise coming from one of the wheels. I took it to Tuffys for an oil change and asked one of the guys to check it out for me. Turns out the brake shop left an old piece that should have been changed when my brakes were replaced. They fixed it for me no charge. I take all my cars there for repairs and referred my daughter to go there as well. Justin, Brian all the guys there are helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant!!

Ive been taking my cars here to Tuffys, St. Johns, since moving to the area six years ago. As a retired military aircraft technician I was trained to do my job by adhering to high moral principles and professional standards. So its no surprise that I expect repair technicians working on my familys vehicles to perform work in a similar fashion. Justin and his team impressed me from day one. I had tried other repair shops, but was unsatisfied by their work. But here at Tuffys, this shop was different. When you sit in their waiting room and observe, its easy to recognize that they treat everyone who comes through the door as valued customers. You see they are able to communicate effectively and put patrons at ease about the diagnosis and repair suggestions they are given. In addition, the quality of the work Justin and his team have performed on my vehicles has been exceptional. They helped me to improve a severe tire wear issue and were instrumental in recommending suspension modifications that I could do myself to make it better. After, they were eager to assist in performing the additional, and more tedious, wheel alignment adjustments necessary, all of which achieved positive results. Other shops are reluctant to offer or devote that kind of time and effort. Because I feel it is important to choose a shop with well trained technicians and superior customer service to work on my car I will continue to do business with the people here at Tuffys St. Johns.

I have been a customer of Tuffys for over 10 years. They have consistently the best service and the best customer service around. They are upfront and communicate every detail of your car servicing. They worked with me on an older car helping to decide what was smart financially as well. They have serviced multiple cars for us. Highly recommend!!

As a widow who knows zip about maintining a car, I have relied on Justin and the team to keep me safe while running up and down 95 from Palm Coast where I live to St. Johns where my daughter is. They have stayed late to finish a repair so I could get back home, worked with me to break a needed repair into smaller parts that I could afford, and always with a smile, lots of patience and an explanation of what needed to be done and why. I can count on them. In this day and age, that's huge!!

I have been taking my car to Tuffy for 12 years, and the quality of the work has always been excellent!The staff always goes above and beyond and are always great about taking care of any problems that I have with my car while being on the lookout for any potential problems that may arise. Theyre always up front with the costs and always mindful the situations when I have to be more budget conscious. I wouldnt think about taking my car anywhere else because every time I go to Tuffy, I know that my car is in great hands!

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. These guys are always friendly and willing to shoot you straight. I have all 5 of my vehicles serviced by them and will continue to do so. I like that they are honest and even when I watch Ben's service writers interact with other customers, they don't pressure them into unnecessary repairs or costs. They are informative and suggestive when necessary, but listen to their customers. I've recommended them to all of my friends in the area. Great group of guys!

My wife and I spend three to five months in Florida every winter and finding reliable and honest Auto Service is somewhat difficult. I have been dealing with the Tuffy's on Racetrack Road in St Johns County for approximately 3 years. I would and have recommended them to other part-time residents. I found out today that they had recently changed hands but a familiar face is still employed there and he was the person who first gained my trust. I met the new owner and he seems like a genuine individual.

I have been talking all my vehicles to Tuffy shortly after Ben became the owner. The workmanship is always top notch. The fellas offer great customer service (always willing to listen and work through the situation). And yes, they are always looking for other potential problems. Sometimes the newly uncovered issue requires immediate attention and sometimes they are managing my expectations (and budget) for future issues. I appreciate the uncovering of potential issues. It is far easier to handle the problem while Ben's care versus needing a tow.

Dropped my car off at 5PM due to my steering wheel shaking while driving. Planned to leave it overnight to be looked at in the morning. By 5:22, my phone rang advising me I had one tire completely worn on the inside. I wasnt charged for to put the car on the rack for inspection. Beach Blvd has very friendly service and a nice clean location. This is the second time dealing them and will continue to do so as long as this poor car lasts.

I have been taking my cars to Justin, Ben, and the team at Tuffy for a couple years now and can say they are hands down the best automotive repair shop in Jacksonville. They have always provided fair prices, fast service, diagnose any mechanical issues correctly the first time, and never try up selling unnecessary services. If you are dissatisfied with another shop in town, you should definitely try Tuffy.

It's very hard to find an "honest" mechanic these days. They aren't "pushy" and don't try to get you to buy services you don't need like many other shops and dealerships. Recently, I had two, very positive experiences with Tuffy's service. My car was leaking oil so I took my car to Tuffy and they found that the last technician (not at Tuffy's) that changed my oil did not tighten my cap. No charge for the service. The second time, I had purchased some tires from another store and they recommended that I have an alignment - however their price was very high. I took my car to Tuffy's to get a second opinion and they showed me the diagnostic results from my alignment. The test was well within the manufacturer's recommendation therefore I didn't need to even have an alignment! Again, no charge for the service. If you're looking for a honest mechanic that can provide quality service, then I would highly recommend Tuffy Auto.

I take my children's vehicle to the Tuffy Auto Service in Julington Creek as well as my brother's vehicle and I can honestly say that my family has been very pleased with the service received there. They have always been honest in servicing our vehicles and their prices were very reasonable. On more then one occasion they have gone above and beyond their services in serving our vehicles. My kids are teenage drivers and I trust taking their vehicle to them and I 'm not that trusting when it has come to auto repair shops.
