I can highly recommend Lady Lake Quality Tire & Repair 216 Highway 466 Lady Lake (352) 753-8462. Repair prices are reasonable and work is excellent.

The wires heated up and started smoking from the starter to the distributor. Replaced coil, now it won't start, turns over but won't start Thanks for your help

Wildwood Tire on SR44 can handle your issue and is honest. Sounds like you'll need to be towed so it's important to pick an honest shop. Good luck.

Accu-Tech Automotive

Owned and operated by Bobby Bowser.

You will go a long way for a long time before you find a truly talented mechanical/tech savy mechanical wizard.

On 301 South of 466 on the left side (going toward Wildwood)....Just before the storage rental place.

You will not be disappointed.

If you need help adjusting those lifters just give me a shout. I can still do them hot and running.

Matt and his crew at Wildwood tire on 44 just east of 301 on south side, do an excellent job, honest,trustworthy and knowledgeable, they service my 1964 Comet and have ALWAYS performed top notch.

Depending on the type of repair you need I would go with a repair shop that has mechanics that are familiar with our older cars and work on them all the time.
The last thing you want is a shop or mechanic that going to experiment with fixing your classic car.
sent you a PM

Ditto this. And Bobby won't give up until the problem is solved. He worked forever to solve a problem we had and didn't even charge us for half of his time.
