Goodyear on 441 in front of Sam’s Club. They are very honest. When I have been given quotes by my dealer, I have gone to Goodyear and they tell me what actually needs to be done. And it’s usually about half of what the dealer says needs to be done.

Thumbs down Tires & Oil Change

Stay away from Tire Choice off 466 behind Walmart. Overcharges and poor service are what they are famous for.

Stay away from the GERMAN outfit in Leesburg. They advertise factory trained mechanics. They have no equipment to proper trouble shoot malfunctions and double dip on labor prices.

Every once in a while when I see these requests about good or bad service centers for tire changes I track them. It's not an all inclusive list but performed randomly,. For what it's worth, here is a summary I've collected over the last year or so. Generally it does not take into account cost.

Wildwood Tire rte 44 +2
Sumter Tire, on 301 +3 -1
Leesburg Auto Service on Carpenter Ave
Tire Choice - Colony Plaza -15
Lake Sumter Transmission -5
Tuffy Tire 16676 US Highway 441, Summerfield -6 +1
Gordon's garage (cart) -1
Walmart +2
Gary's Garage in Magnolia Plaza -1
Kraken Automotive near Sparr lumber. +1
Firestone +2
Boulevard Tire in Lady Lake +1
Hutson Auto Repair in Fruitland Park +1

Tires Plus
2240 CITRUS BLVD
LEESBURG, FL
Call 352.315.1488

I took a rental in with a very slow leak. They spent between 30-60 minutes looking for it (barely any microscopic bubbles). We agreed that airing it back up would last me several days until I returned the rental. They charged me nothing for their time! I even asked them, Don't I owe you something for your time, and they said no charge. While there, I heard them talk an older lady out of an expensive repair someone else told her she needed. She was at an age where confusion was obvious, but after spending a while explaining and re-explaining the reason for the fault code was just a bad battery cell, she said okay, they fixed it (replaced the battery) and sent her on her way. They seem VERY honest!

Good for you.....consumer unite !!!!!!!!
