RPM Automotive – Fleming Island

Upon walking in the door, i was greeted immediately by Silvia. She was very very nice, infact, all the employees here were very nice. They were pretty busy when I got here so it’s taking an hour for my oil change.
The waiting area is very kid friendly, there are lots of toys to occupy them. They have little treats for them too! I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend.

I asked for a simple oil change and for my freon to be charged. I got the typical «do you know anything about cars lady» look and suddenly I’m being told $ 190. Um, no. I just called to see if my car was done and they told me I had already been called. I wasn’t. Get it together folks.

Took VW jetta in for check engine light, thermostat for cooling system, $ 350. Service manager Dan, then said car was hard to start needs fuel injection pump for $ 1800 and that the Bosch fi pump can’t be fixed. RED FLAG! Also ask RPM to check airconditioner, said the ac clutch was knocked off, and they need to replace the complete unit for $ 2400, this was an outright lie — car will not run if the sepertine belt was on the ac compressor. Mentioned to Dan that fact, he just said thats what his mechanic said. Took car to the local diesel fuel injection pump service place and they said they didn’t see or hear a problem with the pump, but said might want to replace filters to be on the safe side. Then I took car to local vw specialist (Chiefs rotors & motors) said to repair air conditioner needed one small part, and confirmed what the fuel injection specialist said.
Month later, colder tempertures car was hard to start, checked 6 year old battery, replaced it, problem fixed.
