Naples Park Auto Service Delights

It was just yesterday that my wife called me and told me that her vehicle would not start. I replied, "do you think it is the battery," and she told me I think so. I told her I would come by and make sure, pick her up, and purchase a new battery.

We stopped by the Naples Park Auto Service station at: 10121 Tamiami Trail North in Naples to purchase an Interstate Battery. My wife and I were discussing purchasing a wrench or ratchet set to remove the old battery. Before I could say anything the mechanic at Naples Park Auto Service said, I could borrow some of his tools to remove the old battery and install the new one. It was a great gesture and a pleasure to see them offer us the use of their tools, which I promptly returned after installing the new battery.

If you ever have the need for a reliable, professional, honest and caring mechanic for your automotive needs I would suggest, you stop by or give Naples Auto Service a call at 239-597-5800.

Enjoy Southwest Florida,
