I’m sharing my experience with Hoover automotive and performance. I have a 2017 Hyundai Tuscan and I took it to a Hyundai dealership to run a diagnostics for the issue I was having, I wasn’t sure of the results that they gave me so I got a second opinion through Hoover automotive and performance. Thomas did a diagnostics he told me what he found, and I had him repair my car. It was less than what the dealership would have charged. Thomas is very thorough. He gives you updates as to what he finds. He attaches pictures and notes. 100% recommend Hoover, automotive and performance

Took a 24 year old suv in for some minor maintenance and an oil change. Had been having an issue with bump steer and the battery leaking and dying after a few days of sitting from a parasitic draw. I have been working on cars for over 25 years but do not have the expertise or equipment to diagnose things like they can. They found multiple suspension bushings were allowing much more play in the suspension than normal which was causing the sloppy steering and bump steer. The parasitic draw (I tried EVERY fuse to find it) was actually the alternator causing a strange micro current draw but also over charging at 15v when the vehicle was at idle. Would have never been able to find that without their specialized equipment.

Great service and communication, expert knowledge and capabilities, would recommend to anyone who needs a shop that really knows what they are doing.

Great mechanic and team!!!! Very knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with !!!!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else !

Had an alignment done on my 2010 Tundra lifted with 35s and some aftermarket suspension parts. I have had it since 2011 with only 12k miles. They went above and beyond to make this thing ride great and took there time being as meticulous as can be and fine tuning it even after the last shop failed to get it in spec and already had chopped tires. I’m a do it yourself kind of man, but after today’s fine display of professionalism and knowledge amongst the team, I am now team Hoover Automotive. Semper Fi!

Quality! These guys are awesome! They are so helpful and knowledgeable. You know that they will take care of any issue and be upfront with you about what it is that needs doing. Better than going to the dealership.

Great service and communication. I brought in my 2006 Lexus gx470. They fit me in and found the issue. They kept me informed and gave me options on the repair. Got me back on the road and I feel confident in the repairs.

Hoover Automotive is a fantastic group of guys to work with. They made communication and coming to a deal a breeze! Highly recommend bringing any of your vehicles needs maintenance, performance, or otherwise to Hoover!

Thomas Hoover has staffed his operation with experts who are renowned and legendary in Northeast Florida and they never fail to impress me. My off-road vehicle gets extreme use and I have the confidence of expert maintenance, performance parts and repairs. Best of all, they are personable and strive to insure that you are fully satisfied with their services.

I was recommended on Facebook to take my tundra to Thomas at Hoover Automotive several years ago and have been nothing but pleased with every experience. From brakes and oil changes to lifts and timing belts. Excellent communication, reliable and honest. I won’t go anywhere else.

This is the only place I will take my 370z to. They always do a way better job than any shop I have been to. Completely thorough and never had an issue. I recommend them to everyone.

I have been working with Hoover performance for 2 years now from regular maintenance to 800hp dream build over a few of my cars and other toys. He is a very honest person who sits down with me and helps direct my goals into realistic options. I know when I walk out of his office we came up with the best realistic options for the car. Very good with warranties. This is a good person who deserves success. Thanks for everything so far and more cars to come!

These guys will 100% get you squared away. They took care of me super quick and even fixed a separate issue without me even asking. Within the first few minutes of Thomas' diagnosis, he found the issue and made his recommendations. Fast and wonderful service, will definitely be coming back for any more vehicle troubles. Super knowledgeable and friendly, would give 10 stars if I could. You can just tell they take pride in their work and perform it with passion. Thanks again Thomas and JJ!

I feel like I struck oil finding this place. I’m always very cautious about taking my vehicles to people I’ve never met, but right away I can tell that taking my car to Hoover Automotive and Performance was a smart decision. Thomas is very knowledgeable, transparent, and most importantly has great communication which I am big on. Not to mention, his work ethic is admirable. 10/10 recommend you take your vehicle here whether it be your off-road rig, or your JDM tuner.

Great place to get work done if you want a good, trustworthy mechanic working on your car. Thomas was great, fixed my a/c , and then made an appointment for a future date to get my check engine light looked at. It was great service , he answered any questions I had, was very polite and honest, and the prices aren’t bad at all . Glad to say I found my permanent go to mechanic now in orange park !!

Very knowledgeable, professional, and transparent. Thomas saved the day! He got all of our questions answered immediately and was great about following up with everything. We were so appreciative at his willingness to help, provide the best service, and keep all lines of communication open. You can tell he takes a ton of pride in his work ethic and customer service: will definitely be going to him for any future needs! He was a life saver when my air compressor went out! Highly recommend.

Wanna throw a huge shout out to this guy Hoover. I would recommend him to anyone dropped truck off yesterday picked up 12 hours later by far the best around. Definitely call him for anything auto related. Thank you agian Thomas

Had a great experience with Thomas at Hoover Auto & Performance. He handled an install on my car in a timely, professional manner. He also brought me under the car to show the completed install and point out a few adjustments he made to make sure the install was done the correct way. I’ll definitely be back for future work on my Z.

Thomas was wonderful! I recently bought a 2001 Lexus is300 that had a terribly maintained motor. He got the motor completely refreshed with all new seals, new timing belt, new plugs and wires, everything! I really appreciate everything he’s done and will no doubt be coming back for any further maintenance. I highly recommend stopping by. Fair pricing, no up selling, straight forward and honest! What more can you ask for. Thanks again! It was a pleasure doing business and looking forward to the future.

Extremely helpful with my issue and quick to respond. Was willing to go above and beyond working on their day off, and provided up front pricing and available discounts. Was professional and kind even when I decided to do the work myself. We will definitely be taking all our vehicles here for any future complex work!

Was referred to Hoover Automotive to install a lift and replace the timing belt on my 02 Tacoma. Very professional and the quality of the work was exceptional.

We take all our trucks to Hoover to complete repairs and regular maintenance. The service, the time response, the quality of the work, everything! We trust this guys with our technicians trucks and it has been the best decision ever! Thanks Thomas and Team! You are all the BEST!

Barely pulled in to business before someone was out asking if I needed help even though they were clearly busy. Awesome shop, honest owner and workers. Got my 2003 4Runner situated and back on the road!

I’m usually not one to write a review but I feel this I time I need to. Tom and Jeff are absolute LEGENDS!!! I brought them my truck which I had a terrible vibration after doing everything to fix what I thought could be an issue I decided to man up and take it some where. I went to the dealership first and they looked at it for 2 hrs to tell me they couldn’t find the problem along with another shop both costing me my first born child (not really but might have well been). After I brought it to Hoover, tom and Jeff dove into the truck like it was their own personal truck. They found the problem which no else could. Tom and Jeff replaced my transfer case which was the problem all along for what I could only was assume their cost (not driving the price to sink my wallet). This is one shop that actually is out to help the customer and not take advantage of them. Not only do I recommend Hoover I recommend you don’t go anywhere else. THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING!!!

Hoover Automotive has always been trustworthy and honest. Communications is above reproach. Quality of work is outstanding. I have had multiple vehicles servied by them and have had nothing but positive results. Highly recommend this establishment!

This is the best automotive shop in Jacksonville and honestly one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My family collects old Toyotas and I would bring any of our cars to Thomas. If they don't have the answer they find it, and they are always honest. If you have a Japanese vehicle in Jacksonville this is the place to take it. I will continue to drive an hour to this shop as long as I live in Jacksonville. Great work and even better people.

If first impressions mean anything, these guys are pros. Thomas and his crew are very personable, professional and thorough. They did a pre purchase vehicle inspection for me on short notice (🙏🏼) and made sure I understood exactly what the inspection revealed and their (luckily very few) concerns. Thanks again, guys!

It isn't too often that I'm impressed with an automotive shop, but Hoover Automotive really amazed me. I brought my Tundra in and within 30 minutes Thomas had me back on the road.

Overall the shop is extremely clean, as was the office and restroom.

Thomas definitely takes pride in his business and it shows.

Fair pricing, excellent customer service and a professional clean environment.

I will continue to do business with Hoover Automotive and I certainly recommend this shop to anyone looking to service their vehicle.

Love the way this came out. Thomas was amazing the whole way thru from making sure all the right parts were ordered to working with the manufacturers to make sure everything was installed correctly. He kept me in the loop at all times and helped work around my schedule. Great communication the whole time. I will definitely be back for other services. Thank you so much.

I was a long time customer of Brian Billings. Brian retired and sold his business to Thomas. I have had Thomas do work for me at least 3 times since he opened. Very pleasant experience each time. He has handled a couple issues that could have turned out to be costly and each time he was able to get the job done at a reasonable cost. Twice he has been able to help me on short notice without an appointment. I'm hooked. He's my mechanic now. He has my highest recommendation. They say you can't have all 3, cheap, fast and quality. Well Thomas comes as close as you can get.

I highly recommend Hoover Auto & Performance for all of your vehicles needs! These guys are top notch at their craft, super knowledgeable, and I feel confident in the services they provide.

You can tell they they’re super passionate about what they do, and that is shown by how they take care of their clients cars.

Thanks for taking care of the maintenance on my new truck!

Long overdue review. A couple weeks ago a sent an Infiniti to this shop based on word of mouth recommendation. Based on my concerns I did not expect the high repair bill but yet agree to it. I'm a diesel tech myself so I know the business. Fast forward add some extra money in the mix get the car back but had some minor issues that were addressed immediately but my test drive was longer. Week and a few days later still no issue and honestly we could not be any happier with the repair. I myself performed the same rear repairs in a different vehicle and therefore wasn't too happy about a second one.

Thomas Hoover and his team are the absolute best at what they do. Thumbs up they'll be getting our money when I'm too lazy to do the repairs so I wholeheartedly recommend Hoover Automotive and Performance

I called around to 5 different shops trying to get my wife’s vehicle fixed and Hoover Automotive was the only one that would work on it. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional. They did a very thorough pre check and honest with what needed to be done. Service was completed in a realistic timeframe. I would definitely recommend them and will be back with my other vehicles!

This is the only automotive business I trust to do work on my granddaughters car. Thomas the owner is a remarkable young man that has built this business in such a short time into a huge success because of his diligence, honesty and customer service. My granddaughter goes to school in Gainesville and was coming over for 1 day to visit and mentioned a continuous problem with her A/C even though it had supposedly been fixed by a mechanic in Orlando (her home town) Because we had used Thomas before with a thorough diagnostic test getting her ready for college, I decided to call him and he did his magic all in one day, keeping myself and my granddaughters father informed as to progress and then emailing us the full diagnostic test.

I wanted to share my experince after finding a mechanic we can trust. We had a great experience taking our older Lexus to Hoover Automotive. They were quick to get us in and provided excellent service. The cost was very reasonable and the service was top notch. They run an honest business and really care about doing a good job. I would highly recommend Hoover Automotive to any of our friends.

Hoover Automotive installed a lift kit on my Ram 1500. Thomas sent me pics through out the process, paint marked every nut and bolt, and it came out GREAT! I was even able to order the lift kit through Hoover Automotive and have it delivered to their shop. Ordering through them kept me from having to store and then load up an entire pallet of parts! Even though it took the shop longer than they thought, they never cut a corner! I highly recommend you take your projects here, if quality is important to you! Thomas is very detailed and triple checks his work!
