Under the gun time-wise for an a/c issue. Obtained three estimates, Race Ready was very competitive but what stood out was the narrative concerning my issue-possible reasons for the problem and the various options to fix. I felt Josh was knowledgeable, forthright, and honest, setting the stage for what they might find once they did the diagnostics. They got me in quick and in the end, I feel I received the best service for the best price. No question-I'll return there for any future auto needs. Thanks Josh and Race Ready!

My 2019 Silverado lost all oil pressure on 75. I had it towed to the tire shop and they were very reasonably priced and had my truck back to me in about 24 hours. I recommend this shop. They do great work!

Owner's reply
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a great review Brian. We were as glad as you were that nothing was damaged from the oil issue...other than a ton of needed clean up. Please come and see us again. We also specialize in preventative maintenance in Port Charlotte too so we can keep your factory maintenance schedule tight and go even further. Thanks again, take care.

Our Warranty

Two Years. Twenty-Four Thousand Miles.

Most repairs are covered for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first — parts and labor both. It is not fine print we hope you never read. It is there because our ASE-certified techs do the job once, properly, and we would rather stand behind that than argue about it later.

If something is not right, bring it back. We will sort it out.

Our Blog

Car Maintenance Advice From the People Who Fix Them

Straight answers to the questions we get asked in the bay every week — why your A/C quits in August, how long a battery really lasts in this heat, what that noise probably is. Written by the people who actually do the work, for drivers in Port Charlotte.

Our FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

You approve the work before we start, and you approve it with the evidence in front of you. We photograph and video every problem we find, text it to your phone, and price it in three tiers: fix now, keep an eye on it, or it can wait. Nothing gets touched until you say yes.

Yes. Two years or 24,000 miles on most repairs, parts and labor, whichever comes first. Our ASE-certified techs do the job once and do it right, and if something is not right, bring it back and we will sort it out.

That is most of what we do. We run OEM-level equipment, so Florida-heat A/C faults and hard-to-trace engine noises get properly diagnosed rather than guessed at. You get a digital report showing what was wrong and what we did about it: dealership capability without the dealership.

Yes. Go to the back corner door, where there is a drop box with envelopes and pens. Fill in your details and slide the keys through the mail slot into the building. We check it in first thing the next morning and text you the digital report.

Yes. We are on Prineville Street in Port Charlotte and we regularly see customers from North Port and Punta Gorda — both are roughly a fifteen to twenty minute drive up or down 41. Same warranty, same digital inspection, same pricing wherever you drive in from.

Less time than the sidewall date suggests. Southwest Florida heat, UV and summer rain age rubber from the outside in, so most drivers here get four to five years rather than the six a northern driver might see, even if the tread still looks fine. We check date codes and sidewall condition on every visit, not just tread depth. More on tires in Florida heat.

It depends on the axle, the vehicle and whether the rotors can be reused, so we will not quote you a number over the phone and then change it in the bay. The brake inspection is free: we measure pads and rotors, check the calipers and hoses, and tell you how many miles you have left and what the job costs before you commit. Brake service details.

An appointment is better — it means we can have a tech and a lift ready for you. Book online any time, or call the shop at (941) 766-1444. We are open Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. If something has gone wrong on the road, call anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to it today.
