Car Servicing
 
Time to get oil change, air filter, etc. changed on my Toyota. Any recommendations for an honest mechanic besides a Toyota dealer? Won't use Tire Plus at Colony. They want your SS number. Thanks.

Accurso Auto Repair 352-748-9004... Jason Accurso is a hard working honest young man with very reasonable pricing. Everyone who I have recommended to use him has become a regular customer. Give him a try, you won't be dissapointed.

I get my oil changed at my dealer because I like the fact that they fill my tires with nitrogen. Oil, filter, 15 point inspection and nitrogen in tires for only 19.95 with cupon.

Before I bought my new car I went to a ASE certified mechanic on 301. I don't remember the name off hand but he's right around the corner when you take a left off of 466 going west. After you take a left you go a short distance and he is on the left. He even has a sign in his office stating that he's honest. :pray:

Before I went to him I went to Walmart but I switched over to him because, basically, his price was about the same.

AccuTech on 301 in Oxford, one mile south of 466 on east side of highway.

Accurso auto is the best. Nice guy, honest and a great mechanic. He has told me I did not need some repair others said I did. I trust him and will use him as long as he is around. Give him a try. You wont regret it.

shcisamax 05-26-2014 08:12 PM

HELLO? Any info? Oh it looks like everyone is now offline. Darn.

Wildwood Tire, an advertiser here, is the best. Fast. Honest and reasonable prices on all auto services.

I am also looking for a good honest auto repair person.I am a snowbird and before my last trip up north I went to a local tire shop for an oil change.Had an $800 bill.I did not have time for a second estimate.They replace the water pump(I did see the residue of a small leak)flushed the cooling system,oil change,wiper blades and a new belt.I am not saying that the work did not need to be done but here in Pa my local shop would have charged $500.
I will now take my car to Accurso

Thank you.

While my cars are under warranty I go to the dealer or routine servicing. Some manufactures (like Honda) are eager pin it on maintenance ma-practice to void any warranty (make sure you save your RECIEPTS in case anything happens to prove to the manufacture you had it serviced).

Why take chance. Not under warranty I would probably still take Foreign Car to dealership for service (you say it's made in USA, but the manufacture is Foreign and their policies or procedures apply).

No Matter where I take it I still Check their work before I leave the business Especially for overfilling. Even though they may be honest simple mistakes can still happen.

Took my car to Blvd Tire in Fruitland Park for a "free" tire Rotation with Oil Change. Turns out after almost 2 hours they came and told me that my 2009 Buick needed $350 worth of work and that "unless" I got it done they would not recommend it for driving. I told them "No" I just want the "free" tire rotation with oil change and 30 minutes "later" ..... now 2 1/2 hours....I finally got the car back MINUS TIRE ROTATION! 26,000 miles later it's still running great!
Don't take it there unless your ready to get ripped!:boxing2:

I just had my oil filter changed on my Honda Accord. I won't use Tires Choice either after nearly being ripped off. The FL atty. general ought to shut them down and throw them in jail for scamming people.

Anyway the past two times I needed service on my Honda, I went to a young man named Michael who had been recommended to me by friends. Michael is located about 2 miles east of Colony Plaza 1/2 block off of CR466A. Michael's, 307 N. Villa Ave., Fruitland Park. 352-365-2955. Reasonable prices and so darn honest. I absolutely trust him.

Accu tech on 301, robbie is a great guy and knows cars. Highly recommend.
 
Great service and honest.

Giving a shout-out to our auto mechanic, Jeff Grover, owner-manager of Tire Round-Up of Lady Lake, Inc. This is a private shop, not part of a chain. Jeff and his crew do wonderful work, they're reasonably priced and very honest. If it's a job they don't do, he'll recommend someone who does, and the shops he recommends are also good, honest and reasonable. Tire Round-Up is located at 217 S. Hwy 27/441 in Lady Lake. Phone is 352-753-7400.

I have used Michaels Auto Repair in Fruitland Park for all my work since we moved here last year, and have been very pleased.
