Default Can anyone recommend an auto mechanic?

I need to get a power steering pump and gear replaced on my 2005 Toyota Avalon. Can anyone recommend a good, honest mechanic whose prices are reasonable?

Here is a very recent thread.

Any Honest Auto Repair Shops?

Not sure I posted on the above thread, but we are big fans of Michael's in Fruitland park

We have been very happy with Von at Quality Tire on 466 near 441 - he's honest, fair and very busy. We've used him for 11 years. Good luck.

Tri-County on 441 near Cracker Barrel.

The most honest capable people you will find. Half of our neighborhood uses them.

When we were renting for a month, we had an issue with our heat shield. We went to Von at Quality Tire. It looks like a junkyard but they really know their stuff.

Sumtner tire & auto in Wildwood. Go west on 466A- North on 301 (about a block or 2) & it's on the east side of the st. on the corner- (right side when U are going north.
Very honest & they do good work.

I agree..they came in several hundred under their estimate on my car (they were able to avoid replacing one part).

Our choice as well. Accutec is honest, not pricey and reliable.
