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.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic just for regular maintenance such as oil changes and regular checkups for cars and golf cars....please :pray::bigbow:

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.

Michael Auto repair off of 441 towards Fruitland Park. 352-365-2955
 
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.

I use Automotive Accutech on hwy 301. 352 748 1500. They stay pretty booked, so call in advance. Small operation. VERY nice people, and very reasonable

Since I moved here 3 yrs ago, I take my car to Sumter Tire in Wildwood. They have 2 locations on 301, take your pick. I like them.

I like Michael's Auto Service 307 N Villa Ave. Private shop, good prices, good work.

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%.
