I really appreciate the honesty and care of this shop
Sam really saved me today. I’m looking to purchase a new (but used) vehicle and luckily the crew at Sunshine Auto Repair did a thorough inspection and prevented me from making a huge mistake. The SUV had a number of problems that I would have not been able to afford to fix. The customer service has also been amazing. I really appreciate the honesty and care of this shop.

Always a pleasure
I have worked with Sam in the past and have found him to always be honest and upfront about what my car needs urgently and what can wait. I haven't seen Sam as my service adviser for several years but am happy I "found" him again. I will always trust my car to Sunshine Auto Repair.

Excellent service on my Tucson
I just want to thank Sam and the mechanics at Sunshine Auto Repair who completely renovated my Hyundai Tucson air conditioning system. I had originally only considered a recharge to my system however after their thorough review and troubleshooting found that I have a leak in my system and other components that had failed. I would have never been able to determine this on my own. Now the air conditioning works great and I trust the folks at sunshine to help me if I do have any other issues with my car.

Hi James, 
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're really happy to hear that Sam and our team could get your Hyundai Tucson's air conditioning back on track. We appreciate you trusting us with your car, and we're here anytime you need us in the future. Enjoy the cool ride!

Very happy with the service!
I've been to Sunshine Auto Repair only once so far. I was looking for an auto repair shop after becoming disillusioned by the dealership service department I was taking my car to for years. I'm very impressed with Sunshine Auto as they did not try to upsell me on any maintenance. They provided recommendations and explained why certain work should be done now and others could wait until I checked my own records for when they were last done. I appreciate the honesty! I'll definitely be back.
Sunshine Auto Team from Sunshine Auto Repair responded on 02/04/2025 09:48 AM

Hi Nancy, 
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad you felt comfortable with our honest approach and that our recommendations helped guide your decisions without any pressure. At Sunshine Auto Repair, we believe in transparency and doing what's best for your vehicle—no upselling, just genuine care. We appreciate you giving us a try after your dealership experiences, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
