Default Oil change / auto mechanic

Would appreciate recommendations on two auto questions.

1) reliable oil change location

2) trustworthy, reliable reasonably priced auto mechanic

Thanks

Sumter Tire, 2 locations in Wildwood, on Rt 301
Wildwood Tire on Rt 44
Firestone on Rt 466 in Oxford
Goodyear near Home Depot

I do not recommend Tire Choice

Michaels(or Mikes)garage in Fruitland Park. Reliable and honest. Looks decrepit, but excellent work and honest as the day is long.

Sumter Tire for both oil changes and mechanical needs. Reliable, fast and very reasonable prices.

Agree 100%. His price is right, very honest and a great mechanic. Don’t be fooled by the looks of his building

I have used Goodyear over by Sam's on 441 for years. They have serviced both mine and my husband's truck for multiple issues. They are great and are always willing to work with you. They have gone as far as brought me to work and pick me up so they can service my vehicle. Dean and his crew are amazing.
