Enough said, Sumter TIre.

My opinion also after 10 years as a customer.

Auto Body Repair
 
Related to your query - if you need auto body work done, I can recommend Creative Paint Creations, 2740 Lake Ella Rd, Fruitland Park, FL 34731. A couple of years ago I was involved in a rear ender in Publix parking lot in a rental car (both of us backing out from opposite sides of the lane simultaneously). Rear bumper was pushed in. Steve at Custom Paint Creations took about 20 minuets and pushed it back out looking as good as new. He refused to accept any payment, said I could pay it forward. Rental car company was none the wiser.

Preferably a mechanic who owns his own garage and not affiliated with a large corporation.

Please advise and thank you in advance for your guidance.

I can recommend Hilton Automotive on 27/441 just North of 42. They replaced a rear hub on a former car for under $100.

Sumter tire is the best in the area. I’ve been here 20 years and I’ve use them the last 15. Most importantly they stand behind their work.

We have used Wildwood Tire for our 2004 Dodge Ram diesel truck and 2011 BMW for 10 years. If they can’t solve an issue, they will recommend someone local. Matt took over the business from his Dad and also has his son working for him. Very friendly and capable.

Wildwood Tire!!! My wife had a flat tire one Saturday morning so I replaced it with the spare and we headed out to find a shop to repair the tire. By chance we stopped at Wildwood Tire. I was just going to have them repair the tire, take it back to the house and switch the tires around. They ask for my key, drove it in the shop, repaired the tire, put the spare back up in the carrier, put the repaired tire back on, did this in about twenty minutes and charged me $20.00. I was stunned. What a great service. They made me a customer.
