My personal recommendations for restaurants



Fresh Catch Seafood Grill

Stuart, FL 34997
772-286-6711

If you want great fresh seafood be sure to eat at Fresh Catch while you're in Stuart. Bar none - the best seafood you will ever eat.




La Forchetta Italian Restaurant

The best Italian food you will ever eat. This is an authentic Italian restaurant and the food is AWESOME! Every pasta dish is to die for. The pizzas are great and they have gluten-free pizza, pasta, bread and dessert options.

My favorite is the Papa's Stromboli



Getting Crabby

Small hole-in-the-wall that's a favorite for locals. Superb seafood.

Yes both of the hotels we use are less then a mile from our warehouse.
We are also located less then a mile off of 95, very easy to get to, so no excuses!

And the new detailing classes starting up!

These classes are not only educational, but we really try hard to make them fun too!

So feel free to tell your friends that have been wanting to take a class to learn how to better work by hand and machine!

Get off at Kanner Highway (Hwy-76). Google maps shows it as exit 101, but I'm local and never go by the numbers after they changed them a few years ago. The hotels appear to be on a frontage road just east of I-95, at the next intersection.

The entrance to the business park Autogeek is located at is a bit non-descript and easy to miss. It is on the north side of Kanner Highway, just west of I-95. If you end up going over the bridge across the Turnpike you have missed the entrance.

I foresee classes filled with "....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!" jokes in Autogeek's future :laughing:
 
If you join Marriott's reward program (FREE) you can beat the PBME code rate at the Courtyard by Marriott- Stuart by a few dollars.
 
Had a bad experience at that Holiday Inn. I only stay at Marriott now. It invloved a reservation cancelation that was completed well in advance. The reservation was for 2 nights they only canceled the first night. I got billed and the Manager / Owner there was less then helpful. It escalated to the HOLIDAY INN Corporate level and the final resolution was very gracious as I have stayed about 400 nights at Holiday Inns in my life. They did inform me that the location by AG is privately owned and therefore does not seem to represent all of the ideals in customer service that made HOLIDAY INN great. Also I did'nt mention when I checked into that Holiday Inn Location one time and went to my room I was greeted by a roach trap on the perfectly white bedspread. The long and short of this story is Stick to Marriott spend a few extra dollars. It is First Class - The lobby and outside lounge fire pit area is really nice. The computers in the lobby are available for guest and theres Cold beer in the fridge next to the Check In area. Thay also have very very good coffee 24/7. Again let me state that HOLIDAY INN Corporate was very apologetic and accommodating they sent me a very nice check for my trouble !

How long was the drive from there to autogeek?
Click to expand...


The Clarion Inn is less than 10 minutes away and it's a super easy drive from there to here.

Driving here first thing in the morning there won't be much traffic. The class starts at 7:30am SHARP.

So this means you really want to arrive around 7:00am to enjoy some coffee and donuts, claim your seat, get your name tag, meet your new friends and check out the cars you'll be training on.
