Repair/Service: Brakes, Tires

Hourly Rate: $55

Total Cost: $255

My wife and I were on vacation in Bradenton from Tulsa, OK when I began to notice my rear brakes were starting to grind. We searched the web for local mechanics and read a ton of reviews when we ran across Anderson Auto Repair. We went with the other reviews and I drove over. They looked busy and I thought it would take forever to get done. When I explained my situation Danny immediately put a mechanic on it. The mechanic also noticed that one of my tires was down to the steel belt. Danny called around for some new tires, but when I explained to him that I couldn't afford two new tires plus a brake job he disappeared for awhile and came back with one very nice used tire. Not only was the brake job inexpensive ($175 including labor and turning rotors), but he saved me $300 on tires until I could afford a new set. I was in and out in less than two hours. I have never had a mechanic who is willing to drop everything he is doing to try and save me some money. He is fair, reasonable, and personable as well. We plan on moving our family to Bradenton soon and I have already found my new mechanic. Thank you Danny.
