Beard's Garage

"I am 8 months pregnant and was driving 3 hours down to visit my parents for my baby shower weekend when my AC stopped working in my Jeep. I had 30 mins to go to make it to their house, I was drenched in sweat and Tim was able to get my car right in! Tim made me feel welcome, and turned my frown up side down, I was drenched in sweat, feet so swollen, and he was able to fix it by lunch time! I highly recommend him! I have told everyone about him and my parents will be taking their cars to him! He is fair with pricing and reviews everything with you before fixing. I will definitely be back again for all my car issues, (then not buying a Jeep again) LOL hahaha. Oh and you have to have a sense of humor to go there I loved all his jokes!"

"Dropped my car to get an estimate on repairing the AC. Got a crazy price so chose no to do it. When I got the the car back, the blower was now also broken and the check engine light was on. Don’t know what they did to it but another local place repaired the AC for 1/5 of the price and but still can’t figure out the check engine light."

"Brought my car in for a oil leak. Tim, the owner asks when I last replaced the spark plugs, I couldn’t remember, so he suggested it must be time, then, but not to worry, they would only replace them if needed, and they would save the old ones to show me. I leave the car (overnight) and remember on the way home, he replaced them 15,000 miles ago, and we used $$$$ platinum spark plugs that should last 80,000 to 100,000miles. I called, but got no answer so I left a message to Not change the spark plugs. When I went to pick up my car the next day at three, the garage was closed, my car was left unlocked on the side of the road. Had to Uber home/back to get a spare key as I had a 7 AM flight out of Fort Lauderdale the next morning. Upon returning to pay the bill, Tim says the spark plugs were shot and needed replaced! I ask what is wrong with my car that would cause platinum plugs to go bad after 15,000 miles, he states he doesn’t want to argue the point, and accidentally forgot to save the plugs to show me. He takes them off the bill, I pay $800 cash for the oil leak repair. Took my car to a reputable mechanic that was recommended. (All star auto repair in Lake Park)Luckily, my car still has the platinum plugs from last time, not the “new” cheaper ones that he claimed were installed. And they repaired the oil leak that never got resolved after paying $800. Beards give auto repair shops a bad name!"

"I had a coolant hose leak and needed an oil change. It took about a week to have both fixed. Tim was very chatty and preferred a cash payment (in order to avoid law suits most likely). I paid cash and was on my way. 2 weeks later my car alerted me saying that the engine oil was “dangerously low” and to fill immediately! I had to stop and fill up the oil, making me late to work. I told Tim and he said that it is normal for engines to burn oil off!?!?!? My car is a 2019 and I put 119,000 miles on the car, it does NOT just drink up oil! So that is the first lie. Then my car started leaking coolant all over my clients driveways. I towed it into Tim’s Garage, in hopes that he would do the right thing and make my car safe to drive. He took the car apart and said that the oil is fine, this is a lie unless they never put oil in it on Feb 7th!!!! I don’t know which is worse! I say the lie is worse because it lacks growth and maturity. I had my car towed after Tim priced me for a new coolant tank at $585.00, cash. I now have a mobile mechanic who will do it for $200."
