Finally, while in Sarasota, I went on Yelp and saw the one review for Notts Automotive.  I called and felt very comfortable with Trey, the owner.  I told him I had some parts and wanted him to install them.  He asked no questions and simply gave me his labor rate.  While at his shop, I was able to chat with him about my "problem".  I told him about my many experiences and lack of resolve.  He graciously allowed me to examine the work that was being done, which gained my confidence in his ability to resolve my on-going issue.  Unfortunately the parts I had asked him to install did not resolve my problem.  But before I left, head hanging low, Trey told me that he could figure out my problem. With relief and a bit of doubt, I allowed him to pursue the daunting task of diagnosing.  Within 1 hour, Trey was back before me with the answer to my ongoing hesitation dilemma.  I apparently had a splice in my fuel line, resulting from the original fuel pump replacement that I had initially had done when the problem first occurred.  He also found several vacuum leaks within a matter of seconds.  Anyway, long story short, Trey had done what no other shop or specialist had been able to do.  He had resolved my hesitation.  And my van now runs great!!  I could not be happier!  And for that I am indebted and forever grateful.  I now take any and all repairs to Notts Automotive.

Notts is not a shop that relies strictly on computer diagnosis or the changing out of parts, as so many of today's shops rely on.  He and his mechanics are actually that, mechanics.  They are truly specialists.  They KNOW auto mechanics.  What ever year your vehicle, these guys will find what ails your car.  They are trust worthy and will resolve your mechanical issue, no matter what it is.  Even if you have given up.  They will figure out what the issue is.  It is hard to find a good, trustworthy auto mechanic in today's society.  But you can trust Notts Automotive.  I won't go anywhere else. - Lori B.
