"Reliable, honest and high quality of work"
Bought a used suburban last year and had to have the AC condenser replaced. I was surprised such a new car would have that problem but I looked it up and it’s very common. I agreed to the repair and all seemed well for the better part of a year. I brought it back in after the system blew warm again and found out they had changed ownership. I showed them my paperwork and they went to work checking everything that had been previously serviced. They couldn’t locate any issues and recharged my system for free. They let me know it might be an ongoing ordeal until the leak reveals itself. It took 3 more attempts but they found it! The leak was coming from the rear evaporator. These guys never charged me for any of the follow up diagnostics or for continuing to charge my AC to keep me cool while they dug out the leak! We were able to get it fixed up and have cold air again! Casey and his crew were great the whole time!
My name is Carla, I dropped my suv off Friday at 10 am. I had an appt to get a tune up, tire rotation and an alignment. I arrived back at the location around 5:50 pm and my car wasn’t ready. Employer Conner advised me they didn’t do the alignment or tire rotation because one of my tires were spreading. He also stated I didn’t need a tune up yet. Tuffys dropped the ball because no one called me to informed me I needed a tire I would’ve told them to put a new tire on or I could’ve came and got my car earlier and got it handled had i known. Nonetheless Conner told me he wouldn’t charge me today as if they did anything to my car to even charge me. Tuffys wasted my time made me miss my family small get away. And no one cared they just send me on my way. I feel as though someone should’ve called me and told me To resolve the issue or see what I wanted to do. I am unhappy with the service.
MaxCare customers (this Tuffy's is a partner of Carmax) BEWARE! The good - if you use these after an apt is set by Carmax, you pay $0 deductible..... The bad - Diagnostic fee that MAY get covered with claim. I made my appointment and discussed with Brian, who seemed like the manager, informed me there would be a $200 diagnosis before claim could be filed to see if repairs would be covered, which could include diagnostic fee. I told him what repair was needed up front but said diagnostic fee was still required. I walked out. Also, your 8:30 greeting shouldn't be, "You're our last customer because we have a leak coming from our restroom." Tuffy's on Racetrac road does Not charge an inspection fee and still made the claim for us via MaxCare!! The difference....better customer service and $50 deductible for not using a "partner". I'll take that any day.
I’ve been taking my Xterra to Tuffy for several years now and, while I travel a lot, I do everything I can to make sure my vehicle is taken care of at this business. I have never had a negative experience with any tier of staff that I have communicated with. They will do everything they can to get you back on the road if you have an emergency—I’ve waited on my car and seen several walk-ins taken care of as quickly as they could. However, these are rare cases and you should make an appointment for regular maintenance. They maintain communication with you so you’re not wondering what’s going on and how long you’ll be without your car. The staff, in it’s entirety, has always been so kind and helpful and they even follow up with you a day or two later to make sure you’re satisfied. I highly recommend this business for your vehicle.
Reliable, honest and high quality of work.. Highly recommend! UPDATE : Aug 2023....Tuffy has been purchased /aquired by Mavis. Ive always loved Tuffy, been going there for years. It was family owned and high quality, friendly service all the time. And also reasonable prices. Since Mavis has come along, things have changed. Most of the Tuffy guys are gone. The prices for a synthetic oil change is over $100 now, used to be $69. They forget to top off windshield wiper fluid and act like its an inconvenience when you bring it to their attention. They also discontinued the Snap financing program which was REALLY helpful for expensive repairs. I hate when big corporations aquire small reliable businesses. They are never the same. Goodbye Tuffy.
My brake light had been on in my truck for about a week. Couldn’t get a reading on my old test meter. Finally stopped at Tuffy Auto Service on Beach Blvd on Tuesday. Explained my problem to Anthony. He got his meter and tested my truck. He couldn’t get a reading. He took out his phone a Googled something. He went back inside and got some brake fluid, topped off my reservoir and lo and behold the light went out to my embarrassment. He probably spent at least 15 minutes diagnosing my issue. Anthony wouldn’t take any payment from me. I haven’t had customer service like this in a long time. I recommend you visit Tuffy when you need service! I know I’ll be back!
Really fantastic experience at Tuffy. I brought my 2006 4Runner which ended up needing new front brakes. Prices were very reasonable and they had my car fixed and out the door within the day. I worked with Matt at the desk who was awesome! Really, everyone there was helpful and had a great attitude. Several of the mechanics (wish I could remember names) took the time to explain my issue, tried to save me money on parts, and showed my 3 year old daughter around who was very excited to see the garage. Hopefully no car troubles for a while, but if I have an issue, this is the only place in Jax I’ll be taking it!
Great service but SUPER PRICEY Edit: Just picked up my car and asked if the tech themselves could explain everything that was done and Jeff did an amazing job going over everything that was originally wrong and what was done to fix the situation and went above and beyond. I’ve been to three different mechanics over the past year trying to get my ac fixed and been charged well over a thousand dollars and repairs that aren’t what I actually needed and it took Jeff less than a day to figure out what the real issue was and had it fixed and returned to me a few days after. Give Jeff a raise!
I only regret not having found Ray & his crew earlier. I had been playing roulette with shops/mechanics that were recommended to me, and I ended up with more problems than "fixes." When I finally took my old truck (all the way out to the BEACH *from Oakleaf) to see Ray & his crew, I was blown away by how efficiently he was able to accurately locate & address every single issue after listening to my earnest attempts to describe the various growl/thwap/tinkyclinky/etc type noises. He knew exactly where to look and found everything. My little old truck runs like a dream now!
Paid for rear brakes,rotors and caliper on vehicle here last may. For some reason 15k miles later the brakes were wore out. Spoke to on phone and was notified they changed computer systems and didn't have old records but Luckily I had my receipt and was able to drop off and get back in same day. Another set of brakes and rotors were done with zero charge or without complications. Was glad to see the new owners had zero issues with doing warranty work from last year. Thanks again guys and hopefully this set last longer than a year, which I'm sure they will.
The experience here was incredible. I appreciate the personalized service, fully acknowledging my needs and concerns. They very kindly explained the issues so that I could understand them. There was never any pressure to do more than I wanted, but they did educate me on future needs for the cars. They took their time to be sure to double and triple check everything that they serviced. I have full trust in these guys and will be returning to get future maintenance and repairs here. Special thanks to Connor, Noah, and Jeff for your time and patience with me.
They have great people skills, but aren't the best at estimating times. If you are in a hurry, I would go to Mavis right down the road. I spoke to someone Tuesday about bringing my car in Thursday to drop it off. They assured me that it would be done at lunchtime. So, I brought my car in a little after 7am Thursday and headed to work. I called around 10:30-10:45 and no one had looked at my car. I asked when they would have it done and they said between 2 & 3. I have used Tuffy before and they were great, but timing on this was less than ideal.
The first two visits dealing with Josh and Connor were great. This last visit will make me NEVER return to this location again. Third time (in 4 months) for the car to be in the shop for the same issues and they want to say that it is now $1500 to fix the issue when I’ve already paid them over $800 for what they originally said the problems were, and come to found out that they did not even complete part of the service that I brought the vehicle in for (oil change). Give your money to a shop that actually cares and pays attention to detail.
Had gone to Tire Kingdom previously for two new tires, and shortly thereafter I started getting an engine message intermittently. Per Tire Kingdom, they referred me to their sister company Tuffy. I dealt with Casey, who was very responsive. They could not replicate the issue, but kept the car snd drove it around a little to try to ensure I’d be safe driving. They did not charge me as they couldn’t diagnose the issue. I was very pleased, felt taken care of, and I know I’ll be back. Thank you, Casey!
Updating my review to sing more praise about Tuffy! They always do a fantastic job and are always honest with me about what’s going on with my car. They are quick and courteous! I have been going to Tuffy for a little over a year now, and I have nothing but amazing praise for this location! They are incredibly kind and professional, and have helped me get to the bottom of car troubles on more than one occasion. They are fair priced too! Shout out to Derrick and Casey for being so awesome.
I probably have 6-10 closer shops for oil changes, but the service, quality and cost are worth the drive to Tuffy's. Sure, it takes a bit longer to get services done, mainly because they're twice as busy (and in demand) than anyone else on the block- which tells you all you need to know about how good they are. My only criticisms; 1) they need to buy the ice cream shop next door for more parking and 2) does the lobby TV have any other shows besides 'Fixer Upper' on HGTV ;-)
Received excellent service yesterday and today (9/22/23). Dropped my car yesterday afternoon and expected to leave it for a couple days. Received a call today, again expecting the "bad news", but not only was there no bad news, the car was ready to be picked up! Over delivering is a great business model to live by. Every person I spoke to on the phone and came in contact with in the store was professional and so courteous!! Great job all around!!
Made an appt a week in advance for an oil change first thing in the morning and still waited 2 hours for my car to be done. I waited at the shop too. I’ve been coming here for a while since it was a tuffy before. Since it’s changed to a Mavis, the customer service is horrible. The managers can’t seem to get it together and don’t really care about the former customers. The communication is horrible. I will never go here again.
Always a wonderful store! I’ve been taking my car here for many years and also recommend this store to friends and family with how well they handle any situation i throw at them! I usually talk to Ray or Kasey and cant get enough at how kind and how much they actually care for my car! If you need your car fixed, this is the place to go! Or if you just need some new tires or oil, they can also handle that pretty quickly!
They were absolutely the best. I went in without an appointment and they were able to take me right away. Check engine light was on and they jumped right on it and told me of some other issues in which I was able to tackle at one time. All staff was very professional. Worked with Derrick majority and he was amazing and very helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommended! Thanks guys!
Tuffy Auto Service Center is by far one of the best auto service centers I've had the experience of going to. Aside from their great customer service, they provided me with pictures and videos of damages they found during their inspection. I have never been to a shop where they provide such transparent service and I will definitely be happy to take another vehicle to them should the need ever arise.
Excellent car care services. I went here for a long cranking issue for the ignition and the tech Anders came out and talked to me about a few things that may be the problem because my car is modified. Because of this they suggested I go to Stage 6 motorsports to fully resolve the issue past their initial tests. They were always helpful and reasonable when it came to pricing and communication. 10/10
First time taking my car here, after the guys over at mavis suggested it. I didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be a great experience. Kaycee was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He kept me informed and was upfront about everything he was doing or was planning on doing. I will 100% be taking my car back there—although hopefully not anytime soon .
They were super nice and helpful. I'm an out of towner passing through and something caught my undercarriage cover, would taken me forever to undo it myself and they took it down in two minutes!!! They were super kind and I just tipped the guy who helped me and we were square. I was in and out in 10 minutes with no hassle !! Go see them! If I was local I'd go back!
Moved to Jax almost two months ago and have had multiple issues since my arrival in the city. I stumbled upon this shop because it was nearby where I caught a flat and figured it just made sense. Took it to these guys once and i’ve been back every time since. They’re attentive, transparent and accommodating. I doubt i’d go anywhere else at this point.
I called before to schedule an oil change but due to a family situation I was unable to agree to any particular time but they worked with me. Not only that but my brake light was out and they did it for me no charge. From beginning to end the staff was friendly and helpful. I am thoroughly happy with my service, quality of work and price.
My headlight went out Saturday night and needed it repaired. I used Tuffy on Beach Blvd before and was surprised they were opened on Sundays. After expecting the light it was found that I needed a bulb and some wires secured. Derek & Peter took care of the issue and I was on my way in less than 20 mins. AWESOME Customer Service!!
I set an appointment for a tire patch because my tire had a nail in it. Not only did they do my patch job on the house, but they also replaced a bulb for my indicator light for FREE just because they wanted me to be safe on the road. They went above and beyond with service! I will not go anywhere else to get my tires! Thank you!
The dealership told me they were booked up for the next 3 weeks for service appts. Kasey got my car up on the racks 5 minutes after I got there and fixed before I could even finish this review!! Really the saved the day! Kasey I owe u lunch bro that was awesome, customer service like that is hard to find nowadays
I been to different shops throughout jacksonville and Tuffy’s is the best by far! Fair pricing and they are really good about keeping your appointments. Had alignment done and had the appointment at 2pm. I got there about 15 minutes early and right around 2:00 they had the car on the rack. Keep up the good work!
Was recommended this place by a colleague of mine, and they got my car in fast, gave me a quick diagnosis of the problems, as well as, returned my car in a timely manner. Casey was very helpful and informative, as well as, showing me recommendations of how to take care of my vehicle. 10/10, will be back.
The only mechanic shop that I will ever trust in the world. They will never misdiagnose your car or tell you that you need repairs you don't. I've always had a problem with trusting mechanic shops just like everyone else but if you want an honest quote and a great job done then I highly recommend them!
“The whole staff is LIKE FAMILY: warmingly professional to all your car needs, care, and concerns. Just like an ideal paradise get away!!!!!! I have found my ‘MOST PERENNIAL PERFECT PEACE” {A Noah’s Ark & Garden of Eden⛲️ ALL IN ONE STOP!!!!!!}”
We've been coming to this location for a few years now and have let the crew work on two of our vehicles. There has been a recent remodel inside but it seems like the same stuff. Casey always provides great customer service at the front desk. Prices are competitive and service is consistent.
Chandler’s customer service was outstanding. I was checked right in when I arrived and was sitting for less than 30 minutes for a tire repair at tuffy’s. I come to this location for all of my car needs and as a woman, it makes me feel comfortable knowing I have a reliable team at tuffy’s!
Very helpful and knowledgeable. We brought the vehicle in without an appointment and they worked us in. We asked them to inspect a car we were considering buying. They were meticulous and explained everything they found in a way I could understand. Thank you Casey for your help.
Had the best experience with Ray and Steven they welcomed our 12 volt electric a/c unit in our van and did some diagnostic on the air flow and pressures. Charged a very fair price and kept an open mind to the different technology (super rare in the automotive repair industry).
Had a brake job done at another facility and 8 months later they were grinding. After getting the run around they sent me to Tuffy. Thank goodness they did. Tuffy found the issue and corrected the other guys mistakes. Steven was awesome and got me back on the road quickly!
I have always had an A+ experience at Tuffy, and my appointment last week was up to par. I went in to have a tail light changed and battery warning light reset. These were simple and fast services, and the team was gracious to perform them free of charge. I’ll be back!
I had an emergency situation with my vehicle and this place did everything in their power to provide the BEST service for the best price as well as a wonderful experience. I am truly satisfied and absolutely recommend everyone to get serviced here. Thank you so much!!
Tuffy and its service team did an excellent job with my car. Turned it around in a very short amount of time because it is my primary mode of transportation, they kept me updated every step of the way. Highly recommend, we will continue taking our automobiles here.
Needed a car inspection done for a car I planned to buy, Tuffy was the only shop that agreed to do it even though it was close to closing time. They did a amazing job and the manager was so nice. They earned my trust and I'll continue servicing my car there
Always an enjoyable and confident inspiring experience. Such a great peace of mind having my vehicle serviced with excellence and provided extra insight to my questions along with recommended upcoming service milestones. Very competitive pricing as well.
Kasey was absolutely welcoming, kind, & quick with my oil change! Way faster than I thought it would be & he let me know about a few other things I should come back in for - which I already had an appointment set! I love coming here, every single time.
Best service ever. They said I could drop my car off but they were backed up and may not be able to look at it for a week. They were very quick and took a look right away and they were able to resolve the issue for me. I will recommend to everyone.
Travis (I believe I know he was new) was very good regardless of being new. He has excellent customer service and he was very willing to learn from his peers. Wish they had their old records but other than that I was pretty happy with the service.
I’m not one to leave reviews that often, however, I had a wonderful experience here today. After my car had a “stroke” and decided to make weird noises and flash weird lights I took it to advance auto parts to see if they would look at it.
Scheduled a standard oil change/tire rotation for Saturday morning. Got a very professional call after scheduling confirming details of appointment. Dropped my car off Saturday morning and while waiting in the lobby, a woman came in with a
So appreciative of the guys (Josh and Kasey) here at Tuffy’s on Beach Blvd! Even when busy they took my car in and got me in and out in less than an hour! Manny the tech fixed the car quick and efficiently. Thanks again and I will be back!
I was referred by a friend of mine to Tuffy after I was over dealing with my old auto shop. He had said he had takes his truck for service there and has always had great customer service and that I should give them a try. I was more than
Noah, one of the associates at the front that I usually deal with is very friendly & seems to be very knowledgeable. Also, they provide me with an Uber when I leave my vehicle overnight. Their prices are a little high, but if you provide
Came in two weeks ago to get four new tires. Got a great price and they even gave me a ride home while I waited. Got a nail in the tire yesterday- they just took care of it all under warranty today- no hassles. And another car ride and
Recently took my car in as my engine light came on. My code reader had multiple codes come up, I mentioned the EVAP leak, not the timing belts. After leaving it there from open to close they quoted me $1K for fuel neck replacement, but
I love this place!!! I’ve been going to Tuffys for over 7 or 8 years now!!! Awesome customer service and everyone is just awesome!!! We used to live so close that we could walk here and when my boyfriend and I moved practically to
An unexpected concern with the vehicle today, and the place I bought my tires recommended me here. They got the fix completed quickly, and they were honest - I can vouch for their honesty after what they did for me today.
The people at Tuffy’s were efficient and fast! I showed up 15 minutes early to my appointment and they got me in five minutes early. They explained the options clearly and replaced my flat tire with a new one very quickly.
Tuffy on Beach Blvd is where we go for all our vehicle needs. This team is great at all things from general maintenance to identifying more difficult issues. We highly recommend coming to them for anything you need!
Very professional in their approach with the customer. Casey did a good job explaining any issues identified during the vehicle inspection. He also was knowledgeable on the technical and cost to repair subject.
Ray and Casey were so helpful today. Ray quickly diagnosed an issue with my car. They are really knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Will definitely be bringing my car back for future services.
Kasey and Derrick made a great first impression..Excellent customer service! The whole team was very professional and knowledgeable! I was confident and at ease about them repairing my vehicle. Thanks guys!
Small clips were previously lost that help secure the door panel. The manager said he would get some from Toyota and he actually did. I was pleasantly surprised that the follow through was done. Thanks.
While visiting from out of state, had an issue with front brakes. They diagnosed and corrected issue while I waited. Fast, Friendly and Professional. Could not ask for better service. Life savers!!!
Brought my car in for an A/C issue - They recharged the system but said they couldn't specifically find the problem. They didn't charge me and recommended a specialty mechanic in town - class act.
I’m very satisfied with Tuffy on Beach boulevard. I’ve been going there for over a year now for all my service and repairs. They were able to replace my transmission when the original one blew up.
I went in for an estimate and spoke to Ray Somers. He was very helpful in his assessment of the work I need performed on my vehicle. I will be using Tuffy for all my car maintenance and repairs.
The staff here are very friendly and prompt. I have been to this location twice and Kasey has assisted me both times. He made both what would have otherwise been stressful situations seamless.
Oil change took a bit of time buuutttt they did not rush my business. All the employees were super polite and they did fully diagnose my car. It was also a good price $33 for full synthetic.
We’ve been using Tuffy for over 12 years for all of our service needs from routine to fairly complicated. Always first class and today Derek and Ryan on the top of their game. Thanks guys.
Kasey did an amazing job with my car and was able to remove all the nails from my tires without needing to do any patching up. I’m very happy with my visit here and would come back again
Just want to say thank you to Casey and his team for the quick replacement of my running tail light bulb. Appreciate it and helping me figure the problem. Have a great one ! …
Had a nail in my tire tonight and stopped in here at Mavis Tires. Casey was m technician and did an amazing job. Great customer service and very professional!! Thanks Casey …
I’ve been going to Tuffy for my oil change for a few years and they’ve always been quick and efficient! Kasey was pleasant and helpful in making my appointment easy today.
Very helpful asst. manager (Casey) who is knowledgeable and is serious about customer service. He wants to make the customer leave happy. Very pleased with the experience.
Josh! Save my day. The staff is so kind. Just last minute and they customer services it was beyond the 5stars. Super diligent, kind, professional. Thank you Josh
Very bad, introduce me to very high price tire place. They don’t have my tire. He to me they have other location near. And to me go to kingdom tire. Very Evil
Excellent service. Straight forward, efficient, effective, and didn’t break the bank! Stephen was very professional, pleasant, and good kind. Thank you! A+++
I came in right before closing, and they changed my brake light for me free of charge! Very kind and positive employees / atmosphere! I definitely recommend!
Kasey helped out from start to finish. First time getting my oil done at Tuffy and it won’t be my last! Great prices and great customer service! …
Took my car in for valve gasket repair. They were super friendly, did a great job and even stayed open late to finish up my car. I would recommend them.
Casey did a great job with helping us today! Just went back to Tuffys auto shop and Casey helped again, great staff there and quick and easy service!
Joshua couldn't have been more kind, helpful, professional and trust worthy. What a blessing to do business with! Thank you for all your help!
Amazing. I got here a few minutes early and Ray let me in. I had an emergency with the car and he jumped right in. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Pete for the oil change! We love this place and have been going here for the past 5-6 years. Highly recommend checking them out.
They were able to fix a drain plug issue that another shop couldn't. Service was fast and efficient. Definitely coming back again!
Help me repair a tire quickly and we’re very knowledge and friendly. Used them for oil services also and always do a quality job
Casey and Pete did a great job, very happy I stopped in. Second time using Tuffy’s and they have been accommodating both times.
Casey the manager was a pleasure to work with. Straight shooter and got me exactly what I needed on a walk-in visit!
The Manager at Tuffy very efficiently solved my car issue today within minutes! Super helpful and kind

Casey was a blessing ! I wish him and his new wife happy years!!
