Brake repair service near Bushnell, FL

FORD OF CLERMONT service dept is run by crooks, liars and theives. I took my 2002 Tbird in for servicing as I needed a new battery and I also wanted to get my engine fan coolant reservoir flushed, drained and new fluid put in as I accidentally poured a few ounces of water in it by mistake. The service dept told me that the bearings in the engine fan were shot and that I need to replace the engine fan assembly as well as the coolant reservoir. Parts were $611 for the fan assembly and $122 for the coolant reservoir. Labor was quoted as $800 and they charged me a $90 diagnostic fee as well. I declined to have the fan assembly and coolant reservoir replaced but did have them install the battery which cost $114.99. I had a coupon from FORD for a battery for $84.99 but Ford of Clermont wouldn't honor it. So I paid $114.99 plus $90 for diagnostic tests. I took my tbird to Griffis Autos in Groveland to have them check it out. They did a full diagnostic test on the engine, fan, etc and also visually inspected the fan motor. They said there was no damage to the bearing, fan, motor, etc. They also drained the coolant reservoir as I requested, replaced fluid......total cost $70. I have driven car several hundred miles with no issues of overheating, etc. FORD OF CLERMONT LIED and tried to get me to purchase a fan assemby and reservoir and spend over $1500 on repairs I didn't need. LIARS and THIEVES. DO NOT take your car there....If you have a Ford or a Lincoln go to Griffis auto in Groveland. Honest, ethical and they have all the diagnostic equipment Ford has. The owner was head mechanic at Ford Of Clermont for over 20 yrs. I am in no way affiliated with Griffis but am so thankful to them for saving me a ton of money for repairs I didn't need. As far as Ford of Clermont goes, I will do my best to tell everyone to avoid them like the plague! Jim L. Clermont

Do not waste your time and get scammed by this company. A year ago my A/c unit was repaired at this shop. After it stopped working again I called and was told to bring it in so they could take a look at it. They called and let me know what the issue and cost of repair would be . I stated that I did not have another $550 dollars until I got paid to get the repair done until next week. I went to pick up my vehicle and was told that I am being charged $109 dollars for a "diagnostic fee" that with out paying I would not be able to get my car back. At no point with my initial conversation, drop off or being told the diagnostic was I told that there would be a fee. When questioned about this they stated its a new policy that doesn't have to be disclosed. That is unbelievable to me , to my understanding no work or cost can be charged without being approved through the client and at no point was that discussed or even suggested. Do not trust this business.

Turn yourself in Tom. You killed 3 people and harmed 3 others. Their families are mourning. Turn yourself in, it is the right thing to do.

This is by far the worst place you could go to buy tires. My tires are less than a year old and my front tire continues to lose air. I came in at 8 a.m. this morning which is a Saturday to try to get my tire repaired and my tires rotated. I was told they were too busy and asked if I had made an appointment. Quite honestly I never heard of having to make an appointment to get a tire fixed, so I was quite surprised that was even mentioned. I was told that I would have to leave my car there which was impossible since I live in another town and I had no way to leave the car as they suggested so they could "try to get to it later." I also told them that I had to go to an oral surgeon on Monday and didn't know when I would be able to bring the car back in. They did not care one bit and I told them I made the biggest mistake purchasing tires there. Again they could care less. Not long ago I called them to find out what it would cost to change a battery cable on my Honda Accord. Believe it or not I was quoted $650 to just replace a battery cable, so I assume that was because they didn't care to do the work. This morning there were two people waiting and one car in the bay, but they couldn't spend a half an hour on a steady customer. My plan now is to cancel my credit card with Tire Kingdom and in the future, buy my tires elsewhere.

I always take my car to this family owned business. Mark and Cheryl take such good care of me and my car. How many times do you go to a mechanic to get 'checked out' and they say 'everything looks good. You don't need anything but the oil change.' These are people you can trust. Robyn H. Tampa, FL
