Frye’s Gulf Service Station

Hands down best local shop in area !!! I needed breaks on my van asap I pulled in on a Thursday afternoon at 3pm had it back fixed by 5pm. Plus a new tire ! I have dealt with chuck 5 times in past 4 months all first class experience ! Price is always right. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but them

Thanks, Chuck. My car was making an awful rattle on my drive to the shore after having new struts installed at home. Chuck found the source of the noise in nothing flat and tightened up the offending bolt. I appreciate that kind of willingness to help out. Just what you want when you are away from home and have a pesky noise!

We had to have a wheel bearing replaced on our Cadillac SRX. It was our last day of vacation and we read reviews for Frye’s. Took the car there last night. Chuck took it for a spin and agreed it was the wheel bearing. He said he could do it the next morning. Today we brought the car in and he had it fixed in less than 2 hours and we are on our way! A very honest and reputable place to have your car serviced. If I lived here he would definitely be my mechanic!

Chuck at Frye’s was very honest and cool with me. I was in town visiting and had trouble. He diagnosed the problem and sent me on my way in under an hour for $ 25 bucks! (I was lucky– he could have gouged me and told me all sorts of bullshit).
It’s rare to find such an honest, good-​natured, dude and I am deeply appreciative. I recommend you use Frye’s if you’re in Margate or the surrounding area. Can’t think of why you wouldn’t unless he was too busy to handle you.

I have had nothing but good experiences at Frye’s. The are local folks that take pride in their work and work pretty darn hard for being two blocks from the beach :). One of the few locations on the island that you can have work done on your car.
«The Good»
— I am unsure if they still rent them (I rented one last summer) but I rented a U-​Haul from them as well and the staff was professional and very courteous.
— Decent and fast responses on any issue that you have with your vehicle, it is diagnosed and you are updated prior to work being started.
— Once the commitment to have them perform the work is completed, the actual work itself goes fairly fast as there are a number of mechanics.
«The Meh»
— Nothing really Meh to comment on.
«The Bad»
— There is very (very) limited parking and drive up /​drop off area.

I’ve taken my car here many times for little issues and they’re reasonable, honest. When I thought for sure my tire had to be replaced, they patched it for $ 15. When I had a check engine light and wanted to drive home to Kentucky, Chuck cleared it and read the code for free, said it would be fine. He always lets me know the breakdown of things and is flexible about doing some labor one day and the rest another.
Recently, I had a new weird knocking sound after Frye’s replaced something on my exhaust system and two days later he fixed that sound up, no questions, just did it and didn’t even think about charging me a cent. The way service should be.
