New to TV.....Auto mechanic/repair shop recommendations?
 
New to The Villages and my tools are still in boxes, so I am not quite set up to fix a problem that has developed on my Mustang. Either the gasket at the thermostat housing or the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant. The coolant is burning off before it drops to the ground, but I have to repeatedly fill the reservoir. I need to get it fixed before it gets worse.

Since I can’t yet fix it myself, I need to take it to a reliable and reputable garage. Since TOTV subscribers always give good information, I figured I would ask here for recommendations.

Thanx in advance.

Wildwood Tire (301 and 44) Sumter Tire on 301, have used both and both very good.

Just DO NOT use TIRE CHOICE near Colony and other places! Never needed a repair place but Sumter Tire on 301 was excellent for our basic maintenance needs.

Ditto for Wildwood Tire & Auto!! Always fair with both estimates of work needed, and pricing. Have often been told "you don't need" this or that, or not at that time.....and problem was resolved for less time & expense than expected. Very personable, family operation.

Michael’s Auto Repair in Fruitland Park worked on my Lexus and I was very pleased.

Good, Honest Auto Repair
 
Strongly recommend NAPA on 441 just north of the Walmart, phone 352-307-6210. Supervisor is Doug. Have had everything from oil changes to full transmission replacements. Started because Tire Choice near Colony gave me a price for all strut and alignment (which was needed), but price was high. NAPA quoted and did the job using the identical parts for 60% of the price. Have used nobody else for 7 years. I was also convinced I had a major problem and they found a minor issue and fixed it for free.
