Automotive Rule #1 - Stay away from all franchise auto shops.

They shouldn't even have any "potential customers" with all of the complaints on message boards, seniors vs crime, and the BBB.
Pretty clear the OP has an agenda, but you will probably only find 1 positive for every 10 negative experiences.

Well in addition to the various agencies and departments I’ve filed complaints with about these crooks, contacting Todd Ulrich @Action9 will likely be my next move. A T.V. spot about them would surely reach many more unsuspecting potential victims.

I do have an agenda. I have heard nothing but bad about this business and I thought that asking for good experiences would give us a chance to see if there ever was a good experience. So far I have seen free coffee and perhaps one or two semi favorable comments.

Asked for negative comments to be short since there are so many threads about the bad service that we don't need to see the same stuff again.

I do have a positive experience, but it was at the Wedgewood store. Had the Check Engine light come on. I didn’t have a code reader at the time, so I took the car there to find out what was wrong. They could have told me almost anything, but just said the gas cap wasn’t tight enough. They reset the light and there was no charge.

I had a good experience with Tire Choice. I had a golf ball sized hole in the sidewall of my right front tire on my 2018 Honda Odyssey.

Bobby spent quite a while finding an exact replacement; I only had 6,000 miles on the vehicle. The nearest was in another state.

Even Jenkins Honda in Leesburg didn't have one. Ocala Honda did have one, so a friend drove me there and picked up the tire.
Tire Choice in Colony installed the tire even though they didn't sell it.

I understand they are under new management and trying their best to regain the trust of residents of The Villages

One negative at Wedgewood, two at Colony - don't trust either location

May I ask how you know about new management and for how long?

Routinely when the low air pressure light comes on in my car I drive over to Tire Choice and they put air in all of my tires...Free of Charge !! All with a smile and anything else that I can help you with ...Thumbs Up for me. :beer3:
