Can someone recommend an auto mechanic that they like and trust around The Villages? Almost more worried about finding a good mechanic than a doctor. After towing a trailer full of stuff down here the rear of my pick up squeaks and chirps like mad. Plus she's due for an oil change. Thanks.

Just make sure you don't use Tire Choice, big time rip offs and upselling

Call Mike Raysin (Michael’s Auto Repair) 352 – 365 – 2955. Address: 307 N. Villa Avenue, Fruitland Park. His shop is just west of 441, on the south side of 466A. I have used Mike for over 10 years. He is excellent. Also, he is reasonably priced and very honest. Over the years, I have sent many Villagers and others there—and always receive very positive feedback.

Hudson''s on 441 in Fruitland Park is pretty good and family run. Have used them for our 22 year old vehicle.

We have been going to the Goodyear store in Wildwood (Route 44 / 352-748-1739) for many years and have never been disappointed. Very fair and very honest.
I once had a warped Honda CRV brake rotor which two dealerships wanted to replace for $390 and $520. The Goodyear store simply machined the same rotor for a flat $100. Fixed the problem.
Highly recommend them.

You are describing Wildwood Tire, which is mentioned on other posts. They have a Goodyear sign, but the actual name is The Wildwood Tire Co.
