Hi all--
At 125,000 miles, I expect my 13 year old Ford SUV would love getting some things taken care of before they fail. If I were home in Illinois I would take it into my long-time mechanic who would tell me what needs doing, and he would not at all expect to do the work in his own shop. But now I am in The Villages. So, my question is, who could look at my car and tell me what I need to do but not expect to do it himself? Some example: the tires have lots of tread but are almost 10 years old. Should they be changed? The windshield washer bottle is broken, but changing it is a major hassle requiring hours of work. Should I get it fixed, or not? The list goes on-------> Ron |

I would suggest Michael's Automotive in Fruitland Park, 352-365-2955.
I stopped going to Sumter Tire. They may be honest, but they are very expensive. They may be okay for small things, but if you need a major repair, shop around. |

10 year old tires? Please get those changed out. How much is an accident, visit to the emergency room, hospital stay and a lawsuit going to cost you?
Please stay off the road. |

Local roads you are fine. Highway, not so much. But I’d still get them replaced.
