Dr. Bob At Scott's Auto Repair
Try to imagine the Tamiami Trail with only two lanes, many World War II barracks and an army post on the east side of the street where SRQ now has a presence - that is what Jack Scott saw when he moved from Ohio to Manatee Country 56 years ago to start his gas station and full-service repair on the corner of the Trail and Scott Avenue.

Bob, an ASE Master Automotive Technician, was a fixture at Scott's Auto Repair for decades as their branding transitioned from Gulf, Mobil, BP, Marathon, and finally Scott's Auto Repair. Bob was in charge of service and repairs, has ASE certifications in all of the techniques that keep cars running well.

Good service and great price. I usually walk into a auto mechanic shop with knowledge of what my car needs. This shop/Chris is spot on with car problems/fix at a reasonable price.

Affordable and exceptional maintenance service with the most friendly, attentive customer service I’ve ever experienced. I usually go to the dealership, to get my work done, but a quick Google search showed me that Dr. Bob’s prices are unbeatable. I was skeptical, but I ventured out of my comfort zone to try this local shop. Not only was I able to save over a hundred bucks on an induction cleaning, but I received quick and top quality service.
Dr. Bob really cares about his customers, and will have you entertained as you wait for your repair with his charming anecdotes and interesting conversation

My brother Jim (T Le), a new comer to this area, had brought his Suburban to have some urgent repairs on the last day of December 2020. Dr. Bob and his technicians have done a wonderful job, they surely got the car completely fixed and to be safe on the road. At the time of pick it up, my brother told me that he felt uneasy with some noises when he drove my minivan, we asked Dr. Bob please inspect my minivan because we need to drive back to Washington DC the next day, they test drove it, checked the front end, steering and the suspension systems, they fixed it on the spot!!! Dr. Bob said NO, when

For 10 years Dr. Bob and his crew have maintained my vehicles. I have auto issues, I call Dr. Bob, they set my appointment, they complete the work and I am a happy camper. They stand behind all their work. Peace of mind is what they provide.
Happy Customer, Mike F.
