Lake Sumter Transmissions in Leesburg. May wait 2 weeks for appointment but good shops usually are busy.
Not inexpensive but honest and fair. AAA will save 10%

I second Vaughn. He truly is the most honest mechanic.

See a lot of good recommendations for more normal type of repairs.Transmissions do require a specialist.

Do dealers really work on transmissions, or do they hire someone else to do it? A lot of dealers don't even do body work.
Correct about body shop work, trannies are a different animal.

Yes, dealerships do repair, rebuild and replace transmissions. I worked in a Ford service center for 25 years. Transmission work was a large part of our business.

Honest and reasonable. If it ain't broke, they don't fix it.

There have been a lot of negative comments about Jenkins dealerships.

I needed a new tire for my new Honda - it had a screw in it. No road hazard on tires bought with new Honda. Could not be patched or plugged. Jenkins Honda told me $279 for a new tire.

Went to a dealership in West Palm Beach - it's $229. Same tire as Jenkins.
Oddly enough - new tire comes with road hazard protection!


Won't be calling or using Jenkins.

Honda of Ocala
 
I have a 2014 Honda CRV. Since moving to the Villages 8 years ago we have taken our car to Honda of Ocala. Have never been unhappy with their service. I don't feel their prices are out of line and I always check their web site for coupons before we go for service. Sometimes they come to try and get me to trade for a new car but I just tell them "NO I do not want to trade my car in" before they can even say why they want to talk to me. That stops the conversation right there.
