Extremely pleased with Brad and the team at Baier's! Not only did they research and coordinate... hard to find runflat Bridgestone tires for my corvette (with separate sizing for front and back), they also explained all the rating systems...and they did all of this even before I decided to utilize their shop.
I got job bids from 4 different places after researching tires and specs online for hours before calling around and Baier's was the only place to go into details on everything, making sure I understood all aspects of the purchase beforehand. They weren't the cheapest, they were simply the best quality for the price.
They have high-end equipment as not to damage your vehicles rims and stay current with the latest technology, educate you on every step of the process by leaving you detailed phone messages along the way so that you understand timelines, and even coordinated my alignment so that I didn't have to make separate appointments. True customer service and honesty here doing business the way it should be done with the customer being placed first.
I recommend them in the highest regard, and will be back on my next purchase.read more

My experience at Baiers Auto time has met beyond expectations. I was on vacation and my AC was... having some issues. I looked up a ac repair shop and this is where I came. As I walked through the door, I was greeted by Brad. Very nice and respectful man. Ask some questions about my problem and explained to me his expert thought. Pulled my vehicle in his shop and ran a diagnosis and came back and explained everything to me and the process of how to fix it. It was taken care of and I was on my way. If you ever have car trouble and want honest work, this is hands down the most informed and professional ran place I have ever been to. He honors and respects the military and veterans. I can't thank him enough for his service that he provided me. Don't have a bad experience with other shops, just come here and get it done right the first time. Thanks Brad.read more

Brad is unfailingly courteous and honest. He knows cars, he's transparent about pricing, and he... will tell you what you should take care of now and what can wait. He's also patient with toddlers!read more

Owning a German made car(VW) I felt trapped taking it to the dealership because independent shops... either did not have the proper tools to make the repairs or knowledgeable personnel. Baier's has it all, Brad goes out of his way to explain and show you what your vehicle needs and make sure you understand every thing before proceeding. He has all my business from now on and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know that drives an import.

Best Auto shop I have ever been to!! Staff is great. Being a woman you always worry about being... taken advantage of or over charged on car services. But not here! They show you everything in detail and breakdown all cost and reasons. I won't be going anywhere else for my car from now on:)read more

These people are not honest. We took our car there to get fixed cause our check engine light was... on. They said we needed to replace the gasket, spark plugs, and a coil pack. We had to pay almost 1100 dollars. When we read the invoice there was 2 pages of things listed that they did to our car without permission, such as cleaning out the battery cables for 55 dollars, 26 dollars to restart our timer (which they had to do since they took it apon themselves to disconnect the battery), putting air in our spare tire that was in our truck for 26 dollars, 15 dollars to put gas in our car, just to name a few. We did not ask them to do all this stuff, but since they quoted us a price, they wanted to make sure they got there quota. We have tried calling numerous times and they hung up and to avoid the situation. It's always best to get a second opinion! That is what we should of done.read more

On holiday is Destin with a total transmission failure. Managed to find these guys at Autotime... garage who replaced the transmission and get us back on the road in a week. Brad was honest and professional to deal with. I didn't want
to deal with a Main dealership and was very lucky finding these guys first time. Also I was looking forward to not having to have a hired car from the airport and using our daughters car. (Oops, poor thing didn't quite make it) Had to get a car from Enterprise car hire and what a relief, they were great and cost effective for five days. They even picked us up from Brad at Autotime.

Ok, This will be a different review. I have never been the bairs auto time inc. I have never met... brad or his brother. I tried to purchase a 2006 H3 hummer From a local kia dealer. I had Brad do a pre purchase inspection because I live 400 miles away. The h3 needed so much work I passed on the purchase. Well not really. That was my first thought. I emailed the kia dealer to split the repairs, of course they said no. One week later, I once again emailed the dealer an offer, and they took it.
I had brad do all the repairs, as we got deeper into the hummer, there were a few extras that popped up but I must say my trust in brad and his brother was 100%.
If you need an honest repair shop, Baiers auto time is the place.

I have taken all of my vehicles to Brad and Al since 2010...I own a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Truck and a... 2015 Jeep Wrangler..bottomline: I do not trust the dealers with my vehicles...Brad gladly took my 2015 Jeep in, immediately ran a car history on it, and goes by the manufacturer's maintenance interval sheet when I take it in to him...in fact, I had a recall on the Jeep last year, for the right side airbag...I took it to Jeep Crestview, they replaced the airbag and sent me on my way...the next time I took the Jeep into Baier's Auto Time for an oil/filter change, Brad not only changed the oil/filter, rotated the tires, but he also ran a diagnostic on the entire system...he discovered that the right stereo speaker was "faulty"...when he dug a little deeper, he took out the glove compartment, and discovered that the Jeep dealership disconnected the speaker to replace the airbag, but did not reconnect it afterwards...talk about more fodder to reconfirm my distrust in dealerships...thanks Brad for upholding my trust...
As for my 2019 Toyota Tacoma? Despite the fact that it is still on warranty, I take it even now to Baier's for oil/filter changes every 5,000 miles (Toyota insists on changing the oil/filter every 10,000 miles, which seems illogical to me because of the viscosity breakdown after 7,000 miles), and will take it to Brad for all work once the warranty expires after 40,000 miles...read more

We have a 2005 Volvo with 160,000 miles. We expected repairs to be part of the plan into the... future. We love the car and made a big mistake going to a shop in Navarre that had no experience. $90.00 later we were told nothing was wrong after steering fluid was pouring out of the pump. We found Baier's, and after one phone call we took Simon in. The steering pump was shot, and the new breaks in San Diego we had installed were done wrong which caused major damage. Brad and Al put the plan together and found parts, expedited delivery, replaces the head lamps for half the cost and replaced a few other parts we could not even find. We can only say that the service, great workmanship and communication were outstanding. The price was half the dealership had estimated. Five Star all the way!!!!! See you guy's in the future.

To the community of Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Crestview, and Navarre Florida:
My name... is Anthony John Baier and I wholeheartedly approve of my Father's business as to his fair pricing, quality of work, and respectful customer service. The business has been in my family for several decades now, and by the grace of God, my Dad has endured and persevered through many traumatic trials that have been an immense testimony to me of what it means to be a husband, a father, a provider and a business owner.
You may find more contemporary buildings, different economical options, and similar hard work ethic elsewhere; but what you will rarely find in this area is an honest Automotive business with the diligence, integrity and loyalty to each individual client as Baier's Auto Time has. Should you choose to receive quality service from the thorough men and women who work here to help you, you will once again drive away with the peace of mind and thankfulness for not simply a business, but for the faithfulness of a friend.
May heart and character be your dividing line from empty appearance and counterfeits.
Sincerely,
A. J. Baierread more

This place is so horrible, My own father put me a as a independent contractor instead as a... employee and tries to screw me out of my taxes to save a penny.. He says there a 10% discount for military, That's a lie he just raises the price to looks like your getting good deal in fact your not.. There was many time he told people they needed work on the vehicle but in fact nothing wrong with it, just to make a buck. I left to get away from the lies he causes and the friendship he ruins, I feel sorry for the other employees working there. I hope god can forgive himread more

This was the best auto shop I have ever been to. My repairs were reasonable and completed on time.... The repairs were thoroughly explained to me in advance and I have a better understanding of how my vehicle will continue to perform for much longer. The office staff is top notch and I was made to feel as though they valued my business and respected my time. Very professional and neighborly.read more

Thought I was saving time by having my tires shipped from Tire Rack directly to them and they... seemed to have decent reviews. Unfortunately they ended up wasting my time completely.
Let me begin by saying I know I missed the tentative appointment we had made for Wednesday or Thursday because I’m in the Air Force and work came up. I don’t always have cell service and by the time I got off they were closed. Being next to a military base, you’d think they’d understand. With that said, I showed up Friday first thing in the morning and was greeted by them as soon as they knew who I was with “Oh, you must be the guy who doesn’t know how to read emails.” Yes, I don’t check my personal email that often. Either way, to insult your customers first thing seems like bad business. But I wanted my new tires and wheels put on so I continued.
I did not realize their business was so small with only one machine that can do tire changes. If your looking for timely service, this is not the place. So they inform me there’s a car ahead of me, I understand, and that it would take 5 hours. I offer to come back in 5 hours, they then inform me that if I don’t leave me car there that there is no guarantee they will get to it when I come back. So I’m weighing my options at this point. If they had simply said we can’t get to it today, can we reschedule for next week, I would have been perfectly ok with that, it was my fault I couldn’t make it earlier and I get that.
Around then the guy from inside the bay comes inside and says, oh, your the guy with the messed up lug nuts. He starts complaining about how he’s gonna have to fight to take them off and probably need to use an air chisel and cut the studs. A little excessive if you ask me considering I had the lugs off a week prior to do my brakes, I had just made the comment over the phone while making the appointment that the lugs were the cruddy Ford ones with the chrome caps that get messed up, but lucky for them I have new lugs to put on after the old ones come off. I told them as a slight heads up without realizing how much they would complain about it. Mind you, this is literally their whole business, to remove and put wheels and tires back on. But he’s complaining to me on and on about how difficult these lug nuts were gonna be. I finally tell them, you know what, I’ll go back to my house and take the old ones off and put the new ones on myself since it appears to be too difficult for them. And their response, “Oh that would be great.” It was at this point in time I lost all confidence in their abilities. They were willing to let a paying customer to the job for them. That is insane. The word incompetent comes to mind faster than capable does when it comes to them. The correct response from them after talking about the lugs nuts should have been “Don’t worry about that, we’ll take care of it, that’s our job.” but instead the acted like they couldn’t do it or didn’t want to do it when I know I can do it in my own garage let alone a place of business designed to do that very job. I’ve never seen a business not want my money that much.
This coupled with their rudeness, I had had enough and asked if I can just take my tires and go somewhere else which they kindly oblige. But I can’t just take them since I’ve got the new rims already loaded in my car. I have to drive 30 minutes back to Crestview, drop off my rims, drive 30 minutes back to pick up the tires, and drive 30 minutes back to Crestview. Let that sink in for a moment, I was more willing to waste an hour and a half driving back and forth to my house then let these people work on my car. To sum it up, no, it didn’t save me time by having the tires shipped directly to them. I now have to wait another week to get my new tires and rims and put on by another place. 100% would not recommend and would never go back. Btw, it took me all of 15 minutes to change the lugs myself in my garage, a shorter amount of time than they complained about it.read more

Brad has taken exceptional care of my vehicle. The AC was completely overhauled by Brad at the... Baier's shop last summer and he used only quality parts with warranties. Today I took the car back in with concerns about the AC again and it was fixed same day under warranty and they handled all of the claim process ($0 cost to me). He always takes time to explain any repairs and gives me copies of readouts from diagnostic scans preformed while my cars in the shop.
Long story short or tldr version:
If you care about your vehicle and want quality work done by honest, and experienced mechanics. Go to Baier's.read more

Very Professional and honest! I will return. I called on Black Friday after traveling on... Thanksgiving to see if they would be able to flush my clutch out. They told me they weren't really open today but they would be willing to do it if I stopped by. While there I addressed some of my transmission concerns due to issues I had with a previous shop messing up my clutch and trying to make me pay for a water pump when I had no leaks a couple of days prior. Not only did they flush my system, they gave me the rundown on my potential transmission issue I may run into in the future. They also looked into my cooling system to verify there were no leaks. For a shop that was technically closed for the day, they bent over backwards in assisting me, which is more than what I could say for some other shops in the area. I'll definitely use them again in the future.read more

Called their office on a Friday morning to try and get a new skid plate installed because my... previous skid plate was dragging on the ground. Unbelievably helpful, patient and responsive when working with me to fit my car in that day. Once I came in with my car they were very polite and quick with the installation--they even offered me water while I waited. Truly impressed with their customer service and their knowledge of maintenance, definitely earned a repeat customer!read more

Delightful experience! My car had been overseas and had not been serviced in a while except for oil... checks. Brad thoroughly inspected everything in the car following the factory-recommended services for different time intervals. In the end, he charged me only for oil change and tire rotation, without taking advantage and charging for things I didn't need! While they worked on the car, they even gave me a ride home and back later to pick up the car. I'm looking forward to my next service. It's really nice to have an auto shop that does excellent work and is also honest!read more
