Ray Gordon had worked for various tire firms in the North Florida and South Georgia areas, and in 1966 he decided to venture out on his own and start his own automotive repair business in Tallahassee. Ray operated the business as Ray Gordon Brake Expert until October 1972 when he sold the business to Bob and Charlie Elder.

Because they used to be the best in Tallahassee I went to get an estimate and quote. What I ended up with was a demand of $88 to check out my car, advice to defer the brake job, a $114 bill to change the brake fluid, a light on the dash that they told me was the check engine light that didn't actually that, and later when I got my tire pressure checked somewhere else it was pointed out Ray Gordon had not replaced sensors properly and of course the light went out. Go there at your own risk it's not what it used to be!

Went in believing I needed new brake pads because my brakes were squeaking. After going in and informing them I needed new pads they said it would be 40 to check it out and they would let me know what they would cost. After inspecting them I was informed my brake pads actually had a good bit of life left in them and the squeaking was caused by something else. Saved me a good bit of time and money. Really appreciate honest local businesses will definitely go to them again!

These men are probably the most honest guys in the business of auto repair. I went in thinking I needed to replace all of my brakes. They assessed my car and then determined I only needed the front brakes and I had about a year left on the back. I took my car to Ray Gordon twice and have been extremely satisfied with all of their work. Furthermore, the follow up each service with a courtesy call just to make sure everything is ok. Very professional, highly recommend.

These are truly professionals and know what they are doing. The Dodge dealership tried to tell that I needed just rear brakes and rotors. Ray Gordon's found my front front brakes almost metal to metal and I didn't need rotors. I got all four wheels done and a brake fluid flush for tha same amount Dodge was going to charge me for just a back brake job. They are thorough too. Great job! I highly recommend Ray Gordon's for your brake srrvice.

These guys have saved me a lot of money over the years. They simply don't sell what you don't need. Don't get me wrong, I've had a few vehicles coat a little bit more than others but long story short: I went to a tire shop the other day to get new tires and was told I'd need new brakes so I decided to get a second opinion and I'm glad I did. Ray Gordon's did a full inspection, flush and adjustment and the brakes are working just fine. Don't fall for the pad slap and new rotor drain the other guys want to give you. Take it Ray Gordon!

Excellent knowledgeable mechanics. I have a 2018 Range Rover and that no one else in town was able to service the brakes because they did not have the knowledge expertise or equipment needed to remove the rotors or the computer software needed to put the vehicle into service mode. I got a quote from over $1300 at range rover to fix my problem and we did a complete fluid swap out and corrected my problem for under $300. very excited to find a shop in town that's not after the almighty dollar and does great work at a reasonable price. Jet used his 29 years of experience to correct my problems fast and efficiently. Thanks LimoMike
