Default Auto Mechanics?

Can someone recommend an auto mechanic that they like and trust around The Villages? Almost more worried about finding a good mechanic than a doctor. After towing a trailer full of stuff down here the rear of my pick up squeaks and chirps like mad. Plus she's due for an oil change. Thanks.

Been using Wildwood Tire for over 8 years, also used Sumter tire a few times, both very good to excellent.

Just make sure you don't use Tire Choice, big time rip offs and upselling

I use two - both are excellent and don't fix things that aren't broke. Leesburg Auto Service on Carpenter Ave and Lake Sumter Transmission on 441. Both are in Leesburg

Michael's Auto Repair in Fruitland Park. Very honest and reliable. Reasonable pricing. Does not work on Mercedes to my knowledge.

Call Mike Raysin (Michael’s Auto Repair) 352 – 365 – 2955. Address: 307 N. Villa Avenue, Fruitland Park. His shop is just west of 441, on the south side of 466A. I have used Mike for over 10 years. He is excellent. Also, he is reasonably priced and very honest. Over the years, I have sent many Villagers and others there—and always receive very positive feedback.
