Default Tri County Automotive

Now that TriCounty Automotive is no longer available, just wondering who people are recommending for a good, honest repair shop.

I would go to Michael's Auto Repair on Villa Ave. 352.365.2955 Honest and does good work!

466A going towards 441, make a right onto Villa Ave, (it's one block short of 441).

I've been taking our vehicles to Wildwood Tire, for everything from service, new batteries, oil changes, etc., since we moved here a little over three years ago and have never had any issues. I took one of our cars in thinking it was time for new brakes, but they took everything apart and measured the pads, inspected the rotors - no brake job needed. When my father visited a couple of years ago, his SUV was dripping a little oil and they looked at it and tightened the oil pan drain plug (he had the oil changed before he left home and the tech just didn't tighten the plug enough). The best part on both of those - no charge!

That's great but i hope you tipped the technician. Remember the Villages has a reputation as being a bunch of cheapskates

Wildwood Tire on 44, they have worked on my 1964 Comet and performed exceptionally well, my friends 66 Shelby and his Lexus. Very forthright and accommodating, I can't say enough good things about matt and his crew!!!:coolsmiley

Where can you get a 2006 Mercedes SLK hardtop Convertible serviced? Dealers are in Orlando and Gainesville.

Hilton Automotive, 16420 Hwy 27/441 at the intersection of 42. 352.347-3565. Used them many times. Prices are fair and the work is excellent.
