Lady Lake Quality tire & repair at: 216 Highway 466

The place looks like a junk yard but you will not find a more honest man in Florida. Been doing business with him for 20 years. Don't think he works on golf carts though.

This a locally, family owned and run business, providing most all maintenance, repair and upkeep to your automobile. The business thrives on ethical practices and is certainly competitively prices. A definite plus for their approach with ethics is their communication with women who may not be familiar with the auto's problem or suggested solution to remedy the problem. They will explain in understandable detail what is wrong and what they recommend to correct the problem and outline the total price for the job. You will have confidence that you and your car are in good hands.

I have been using Sumter Tire on Main Street in Wildwood for my car servicing for the past 11 years and can recommend them. They actually have two locations on Main Street, either one will do a good job for you.

As many others have noted herein, I am a HUGE fan of Sumter Tire on 301! You simply cannot do any better.

Sumter Tire, 2 places on 301 in Wildwood. Family owned, very honest and very good.
A lot of people take their antique cars to them, so you know that they can be trusted.

My Top 3 for Honest Auto Repair are:

1. Accu-Tech on 301
2. Sumter Tire also on 301 & 466a
3. Walmart for oil changes

Of course an oil change at Walmart will usually run me $130. $30 for the oil change and $100 for shopping the store to kill the hour. But I choose to see it as THEOREPY TIME.

Firestone on Rt 466 near 301
Goodyear near Home Depot
Wildwood Tire, on Rt 44 near 301

I wouldn't recommend Tire Choice for anything.

I am a retired engineer from General Motors. At the “Goodyear near Home Depot”, I have witnessed the service managers trying to sell unneeded preventive maintenance to unwary customers. I suspect that this often happens at other auto service establishments. Avoid any prevented maintenance beyond the manufactures recommendations. Ask the question: “Is that service recommended by my vehicle’s manufacture?”

I agree. We have been using him since 2008, never been disappointed.

Sumter Tire and Auto on N Main St. Wildwood. -- 352-748-6556. They can do about all but not transmission. They did a very good job. I did have them replace golf cart tires.

Jason Acurso, behind Bargains & Treasures on 466 near 301. A young, earnest guy, excellent fair work. We've used him for a number of years.

Regardless where you go and how many spout how good and honesty they are. YOU need to follow up on work. Oil changes are pretty clear cut. They earn my trust by doing good job. I pull the dip stick that tells the story. Should be on the full line. NOT Over and way over is red flag. Little under IMO OK cause that can be corrected easily. You ask how can they over fill it. Different vehicles than take from 4 quarts to 6 or 7. How many actually know the oil level? I bet it’s less than 50 precent?

And don’t think just cause you go to dealer it’s done right. That’s where I find the most mistakes.

We have been using Firestone on 466 for years. I trust them. They not only tell me what I need, they also tell me what I don't need. They do great work.

This guy is honest and inexpensive. I have gone to others on the list and he is so much better. I own a small business and I would give him an A++++

I used Scott Jezowski (352 348 7381) to come round and service my very old cart. Did a good job. Cart needed new battery, as I suspected. He installed it same day. Overall price, about $180. I think pretty fair.

Hutson Auto repair located on 441 / 27. Honest and where many of the Villages vehicles are serviced. Not a big box type but rather home town service.

I went to Hiltons Automotive with a fuel pump issue. He quoted a price of $600 to remove and replace. He said but before to spend that kind of money run a can of SeaFoam through the the gas, so I filled the gas tank, when to the parts store got a can of the stuff put it in the tank. First can improved 75%. Repeated the procedure an second time and the problem cleared 100%.
