Default Found a Great Reliable Mechanic! :)

His name is Michael and it's located in Fruitland Park. He and his Wife run the business and give great service at a good price. I had my car serviced on multiple occasions and this place is great. It's located directly off of 466A. I found this place accidentally and is more of a hidden gem than anything. Just thought I would spread the word. It's hard to find a good mechanic these days.

Here is the address:

Michael's Auto Repair
307 N Villa Ave
Fruitland Park, FL 34731-2405

We were told about Michael by someone else, and we agree with you. He is terrific! Don't spread the word too much though....he'll get too busy and it will be harder to get our cars in to him! I had to have a new starter put on my car last week, and he did a great job. His dad hangs out at the shop too and is great to talk to while you're waiting.

We have had our Hyundai and Jeep Cherokee in there recently. Very happy with him, and he is reasonable.

Yes, he's great. We have an oil leak too, and an appointment next week to take it in to him. He even offered to drive my hubby home because that is our only vehicle, and then is delivering the car back to us when it is done.

We just got our car back and were very happy with how we were treated.

This was a good test for me as I knew what was wrong with the car from my mechanic at home. Michale found it and fixed it with no upselling.

Thanks for the referral.

Just went to Michael for a small repair and it did not turn into a big repair as it would have up north. Highly recommend!!!

We just went to Michael and we were very pleased. He fixed our problem, and found something else that needs fixing as a result of oil leak. But he said we could wait up to a year. We will have it done it couple of months. Prices are good, and he doesn't try to tell you there is something else wrong. Will keep going back.
