I hate to slam a Village location business, but I have to jump on this bandwagon. I took my car to Colony Tire two years ago, stupidly without checking TOTV threads. I had a small, but annoying steering noise. I walked out $3500 lighter. Same noise appeared over the past six months and I checked this site and noted the many recommendations for Mike's Auto in Fruitland Park. He gave me an oil change and replaced a seal on my power steering pump which was leaking for $85. Before the service, I gave Mike the Colony receipt because I did not want any duplicate work. When I paid him he laughed at the Colony charges and commented how can they sleep at night. As an example, he said he charges $250 for brakes and rotors and Colony charged $495. Now I wonder whether all the work charged was even done. At least now I have a mechanic I can trust.
