Auto repair service near Alachua, FL

I had my car towed to Advance Auto because the starter died. They checked out the car and called me with a very reasonable price quote. When I picked my car up several hours later, the owner gave me the total, which was less than 1/2 the quoted price - he had checked out the starter, found that it had a short in it and repaired it for me,saving me the cost of the new part!! Additionally, they washed and vacuumed the car and scrubbed my ridiculously filthy wheels. They are cleaner than they've been since they were new! This is the most honest and honorable auto repair establishment that I have EVER had the good fortune to deal with.

My wife went here to get an oil change, and they offered to rotate our tires. When I get home and check the car, the tire air-pressure warning was on. Earlier that day, the warning light was not on. The PSI prior to that visit was ~33, after that visit it mysteriously dropped to less than 20 PSI! Nice scheme they have there, let the air out so they blow on the highway and we have to buy new ones. Someone could have gotten hurt or died. Don't ever go to this location, staff is inexperienced and sabotaged our tires. They couldn't even figure out how to reset the maintenance timer on our car. If you've gone here recently, be sure to check your car out!

Avoid this shop! Took my car for replacing one engine part. I was told that the part has been replaced and everything is working now. It turns out that part was put in incorrectly and two main bolts were not even installed. Three different auto repair shops looked a the repair and all said that they have never seen such a bad job. This badly put part caused $1,000 damage to two other parts and this repair shop refuses to take responsibility for their shoddy job. Friendly advice, AVOID Auto ER on Archer Road, Gainesville, FL.
