I’m extremely glad I found SoloTech AutoWorks, and Eric, the manager, was a big part of why. Before coming here, I went to another shop just up the road. They had me waiting nearly 45 minutes and never once came outside to inspect or drive my vehicle. They just printed an estimate without even looking at it. That didn’t sit right with me. At SoloTech, Eric immediately took the situation seriously. They drove the vehicle themselves, then put it up on the rack and performed a proper inspection. Afterward, Eric took the time to explain everything clearly—front and rear struts were worn, and the brakes needed attention. What stood out most was that he didn’t guess. He verified the problem first and explained it in a way that made sense. Eric was extremely helpful, professional, and respectful of both my time and the process. You can tell he cares about accuracy and honesty. I highly recommend SoloTech AutoWorks, and if you get the chance to work with Eric, you’ll be in good hands.

My first time. Received a flyer in the mail for Solotech. Needed to have the engine shield replaced on my 2019 Honda Civic. First phone call, answered by the owner Eric. Scheduled an appointment for three days later. Showed up and the place is clean and customer area is compact but functional. Owner Eric there to greet me. We discussed what I was doing and Eric quoted me a fair price. As it turned out, the parts, which I supplied were not a perfect replacement so the tech had to spend almost an hour longer than estimated to complete the work. (this is one of the main reasons many garages will not work with customer provided parts). None the less, the work was completed and SoloTech still honored the original price quote. A very pleasant surprise. I was very happy with the entire experience and even gave Eric an extra $20 cash to give to the tech for their additional efforts. A very professional operation and I will absolutely being working with SoloTech on future auto work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Golden Anniversary Adventure

"I had the car back in less than 24 hours!!!! Incredible fast, efficient, and in my opinion, affordable service!" After 3 day journey down the I-95 corridor from visiting family in New York and New Jersey, we arrived home in Melbourne Florida to find Jane’s 2011 Buick LaCrosse sedan dead as a doornail in our driveway. I had known the car needed a new battery, and with nearly 90,000 miles on the odometer, and still using the original factory brakes, knew a brake job was soon needed. I replaced the battery without any difficulty, but LaCrosse would still not turn over and start. After spending two days getting educated watching You Tube Videos depicting fixes for electrical problems on these computerized post-2010 automobiles, I proceeded to perform diagnostics on the car. I did every trick in the book to start the car to no avail. The only problem I found was a blown fuse for the ECM (Electronic Control Module). This was very likely the root of the problem, but what was the cause? I replaced the fuse and it immediately blew out! How do I further troubleshoot the circuit? A rather expensive computer diagnostic tool would be necessary. After researching auto repair shops in my area, one kind of caught my eye, SoloTech Auto Works in West Melbourne, about 7 1/2 miles away. They had very good reviews on Google! After meeting with Russ and Jim and discussing the problem, I decided to have the car towed to their shop and have them attempt to repair it. Jim went to work on the problem right away. The problem was indeed mysterious. Diagnostic tools revealed several electronic question marks. A blown 20 Amp fuse for the expensive Electronic Control Module was highlighted, but, why did it blow out? After troubleshooting the vehicles electronics system, Jim discovered that a wire under the fuse box feeding electricity to the suspect circuit with the blown fuse had not been properly installed, likely by the factory, and was no longer making contact. Jim attached the wire properly, replaced the fuse, cleared all the codes that had previously displayed trouble, and voila - the car cranked over and started without hesitation! Jim is a well versed automotive mechanic originally from Long Island New York. He has a good deal of experience with automotive electrical issues, as well as a qualified all-around auto mechanic. He has been with SoloTech for just over a year and his expertise is quite apparent. Starting problem resolved for a lot less cost than I had originally feared, I then had SoloTech replace the Rear Brake pads and Rotors that I knew were due to be replaced anyway. I had the car back in less than 24 hours!!!! Incredible fast, efficient, and in my opinion, affordable service! I am a retired automotive mechanic and service manager having been in the automotive and truck industry for over 50 years. I highly recommend SoloTech Autoworks Thank You Jim, Russ, and SoloTech for solving such a frustrating, elusive problem.
