You may have missed several comments about the
Goodyear shop. I recall posting one about our flat tire repair experience.
Goodyear, just like
Tire Choice is notorious for finding additional work that your vehicle may not really need. I agree there is a fine line behind a mechanic being proactive and upselling. We used them that one time. Replacing air filters and cabin filters was pushing it for us. Of course they come out with some dirty filter but who knows if it came from your car. We usually beg off the "upsell" with "it's a lease and we're giving it back soon." That usually ends the "upsell" discussion. There's no shortage of honest auto mechanics in the area but you'll have to decide this for yourself. In our opinion a legitimate mechanic is usually so busy that they don't want or need questionable work. We've had very good experience with
Hutson Automotive Repair on 441 in Fruitland Park. For flat tire repairs, we've been using
Tire Roundup on 441 in Lady Lake.
