“I hit a brick wall during my DIY brake replacement and I went to Argos with my part. Ayrton helped me adjust my part so that I could complete my job. I did not get charged anything. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I returned the next day with my vehicle so they could do the part I wasn’t equipped to do and they were great and the price was very reasonable. Ayrton even noticed an unrelated defect on my car and researched the warranty. He called the dealership to obtain information about getting me set up so the dealership could repair the defect under warranty. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who values honesty, professionalism, and a fair price.” —Paul Jones Jr.

“Ayrton and Annie were awesome during the whole process of purchasing my new car. They are willing to go above and beyond and the price and service was great. I will bring my vehicle back and definitely refer Argos to my family and friends. Thank you.” —Jose Santiago

“Broke down while on a trip from Sarasota to Charleston for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was Sunday afternoon and ended up being a water pump for my 335. No problem. Called the number looking to see if I had any options and had the pleasure of speaking with Aryton. While he couldn't fix anything on a Sunday he help me diagnose through a series of questions what the problem may be. He was sure enough that he pre ordered the parts so they're waiting at the shop 8AM Monday. We were on the road by noon. Can't thank you enough for salvaging our trip.” —Jeffrey Graan

“Best repair shop ever! Also the have unbeatable deals. Their prices are reasonable. Personally, as a female, most repair shops have the tendency of acting like we don't know anything and overcharge. Not here, they explain it detail to me while charging a good price!” —Sophia Orrantia

“Highly recommend, very knowledgeable and skilled shop/staff who go above and beyond to provide customer satisfaction and fix it right the first time. Fast turnaround, great pricing, what’s not to love? If you have a European/exotic car look no further this is your shop.” —Rob

“Best shop in Jacksonville! When other shops didn’t want to change the engine mounts on my 2009 Audi A4, Ayrton was the only one who was up for the job, and after that I’ve only taken my car here! The workers in this shop always care about the customer's needs and the car! Always gets the job done perfectly!” —Getslene Carlos

“I just stopped into Argos because my Audi Q7 was low on oil. We had been driving from NJ to Orlando. Argos happened to be very close to our hotel is Jacksonville so I figured I’d check it out. Justin greeted me and had the situation under control within minutes. I would definitely recommend using Argos. I would if I lived a bit closer!” —Brendan Ryan

“This review is long overdue!! Approximately 6 months ago, my parents came to visit from Atlanta. I borrowed their car for a quick errand that evening, and an error message came up and I was stuck on the side of the road around 9pm. I called for a tow truck, and then Ayrton went a step above and met me at his shop close to midnight!! He happily came, didn't take advantage of the situation, ordered the right part, had it shipped the very next morning, and fixed the car. My parents were able to go home that day (all in less than 24 hours)!! His knowledge about European cars is phenomenal. Thank you soooo much!!” —David Georgi

“My car was recently totaled in a hit-and-run, and I was dreading having to go through the process of getting a new one. Annie and Ayrton were so helpful and made the entire process a breeze! I got my dream car for a great price. I’m so grateful for Argos and their hospitality, generosity, and professionalism. Best shop in Jax, 10/10 recommend!” —Kimmie McKibben

“I had a great experience in buying a 2008 CLK 550 Mercedes at Argos. The car was exactly as described. The 3rd brake light went out several days after my "as-is" purchase but Argos didn't hesitate at all to replace the brake light at their cost. I would highly recommend buying a vehicle or having your vehicle repaired at this shop.” —Cauley Bullard

“A friend recommended Ayrton and his team at Argos. Ayrton took my vehicle in to fix a serious water leak on the driver's side. They fixed it within a day. Outstanding communication through the process and exceptional service from to end to end. I put Ayrton on speed-dial and you should too.” —Michael Tasker

“Honest and knowledgeable owner/technician. Fair and fantastic pricing. Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else.” —Kari Wood

“So where do I start... alright first off I have a C63 AMG and have had a issue with the car vibrating under acceleration. I live about a good hour and half south of the shop and decided I’d try out a few of the shops down by my hometown. Huge mistake... took the car to three different shops and replaced numerous parts from driveshafts to both rear axles and even changed out the differential and put in a lsd since two shops kept saying it was the diff. After the new wavetrac was installed and it still didn’t fix the vibration and I was close to $3500 in the hole between parts and labor on stuff that doesn’t fix it. I decided to bring the car all the way up to Argos. My friend was telling me to do that since the beginning and I just kept pushing it off which was a huge mistake also. So I dropped the car off at night after close and by the next morning on my way to work Argos had already found the issue and gave me a call and quote on how much to fix it! Honestly was a huge relief since he knew what the issue was almost immediately after driving it and three other reputable shops down south couldn’t figure out. Ended up being the torque converter causing all the vibration. Ordered the parts and a few other parts which got delivered on a Monday and by Wednesday Ayrton was calling me saying car is all done and fixed no more vibrations no issues all 100% good!! Was beyond excited to have my weekend warrior back and running 100% after a solid four months of a endless circle or throwing parts at the car. Truthfully grateful I made the drive up and will be doing the same drive if I ever have any issues from now on! He’s for sure won my business and I don’t know how to express how happy I am with how the car was handled with professionalism from the time I dropped the keys off till the time I picked them back up! Definitely recommend his work even if one has to drive a undesirable distance to get the job done and fixed correctly the first time! 10 out of 10 from me!” —Chris Reynolds

“Ayrton has always done outstanding work on our vehicles and this time he actually took us to catch our flight as well! He is one of the best guys I have ever met and a great mechanic.” —William Chenoweth

“I’m an old guy who’s had fast cars his whole life. I used to do all my own stuff until I had no more time. I found a shop that will always get my work. I have been through 3 sets of turbo kits and 2 installations on my BMW. This last install was completely custom with fab work and some complex arrangements for fitment. For the first time I have what was a finicky car running flawlessly with no lights, no leaks, no issues, no nothing right after installation. Ayrton is the real thing. He’s honest and super conscientious. He knows what’s right and that’s all you can expect from him. We also use him to diagnose and repair our dealer vehicles due to his quick work and great prices. He's the only Ferrari and Lambo experienced mechanic I know. I say that to say he really can fix everything. We’re blessed to have him around.” —Mario Bosque Sr.

“Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff! He took my car in while being slammed and let me know the issue within 24hrs, will definitely be back in the future!” —Emmanuel Gonzalez

“10/10 review for me great work” —Grant Morrell

“Argo’s revived my beloved Mercedes. I didn’t drive my W123 for the last 4 years because I was told by a reputable shop that it had a bad motor; They even did a compression check to verify. I left the car with Argos and found out the same day that the whole time, all it needed was a proper valve adjustment. I have my car back and it’s running better than ever! I am very thankful to have found Argos and that I didn’t give up on my car.” —Lina Bosque

“Best in Jax” —Ricardo Orrantia

“A highly professional owner with vast experience dealing with uber-performance Euro vehicles (AMG/ Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, etc.). Ayrton comes HIGHLY recommended from a guy who knows–me.
