Elite Auto & Tire is one of the auto repair shops listed in Sarasota, Florida. The business is registered at 1717 N Lockwood Ridge Rd, Sarasota, FL 34234; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as auto air conditioning service, brake shop, car repair and maintenance service, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Sarasota, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Florida vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 7:30 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Saturday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Elite Auto & Tire at (941) 953-7999; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, eliteautotireusa.com.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Traffic in Sarasota peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.
