Auto repair service near Gainesville, FL

These are the only folks I've trusted my Volkswagen within the last three years or so - my roommate has brought her Honda there for six years. They are honest, reliable, and the only people I feel comfortable trusting my car with. They explain everything very clearly, have great customer service, and are incredibly knowledgable about Volkswagens. I'm writing this after a major engine repair and I'm still thrilled about them. Thank you thank you thank you! Molly Kempson

My experience with the transmission shop was great. They are honest mechanics who stand by their work. The owner Joey, must really have Christ residing in his heart. They are extremely kind and professional.

I can't believe I'm giving Audio Outlet a five-star review, but these guys deserve it. It’s been more than a few years since my car stereo days of custom-building subwoofer enclosures and soldering capacitors to speaker terminals, but this week those days returned - due to theft. Yes, my car stereo was stolen. Windows smashed, wires ripped, worthless car stereo sold on the street for twenty bucks. It’s the way it goes. I cruised into Audio Outlet on a whim, as I was in the vicinity, and am I ever glad I did. All I needed was a handful of connectors and a few other odds and ends, and that's what I got. I was in and out in a flash, and I got exactly what I needed for a fraction of the cost had I gone to Home Depot, Radio Shack, or my local hardware store, for that matter. Thanks Audio Outlet!

Was traveling home to SC when my truck had transmission issues. Stopped in around closing time. Staff went above and beyond and stayed late to get us back on the road. Very professional.

Best place to take your car. Very, very, very honest and knowledgeable! Busy so you have to make an appointment but they will treat you right! Damarys H. Gainesville, FL

Best auto repair in Gainsville.I had my spark plugs replaced.I had called the day before and was given an estimate. When I arrived the parts were there, the work was performed in the time period they had specified and the work was completed for less than their estimate.They were recommended to me by a man that has raced cars for over 40 years and they maintain his vehicles. I am completely satisfied and will use Ahrens Auto Service for all my automotive repairs.

Tom is really good at what he does. And most of all he's fair. I called 10 shops looking to put a performance muffler on my eclipse, everyone wanted me to buy there parts for no less then 200$ whech was flow master etc parts. I wanted a tuner sounding exhaust, well Tom was kind enough to tell me that I can bring my muffler and he will put it on for me. Well sure enough I saved 100s of dollars. And most of all I got what I wanted. And he did a great job. Thanks Tom. I will further use budget muffler as my #1 muffler shop.

We were evacuating from Hurricane Irma and our alternator went out. We had our truck towed to Computa Tune for repair. We had all of our dogs with us and we were trying to make it to my sister's house in Georgia. Thank God we chose this shop for the repair. They fixed our truck and the price was unbelievably low. Thank you to the owner and the service techs for helping us out in our time of need! Gin Sweet Lutz, Florida

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.

I LOVE this Goodyear! They know me by name and are always honest and very reputable. There have been a couple of times that I was there and they found one or two things that were wrong with my vehicle that needed to be fixed. Since I am very skeptical of getting ripped off by car repair places, I checked around, only to find out that not only were they right, but they quoted me the best price! Now I know that I can relax and trust that they will be honest and take great care of me. I can't speak highly enough of this place. I've been going to them for years!

Been there before had a decent experience.This visit was for a starter I had them rebuid,it went bad in five months.Brought it in on 6/01/11,was told they had to order a part it would be ready on the next day.The next afternoon they said it will be about five more minutes.A call shortly thereafter they said I had problems a starter mounting bolt was broken.They charged me 100.00 labor and 8.00 for the bolt that they broke,was told hes never seen a dealership eat that cost.Even though I had been a tech in a Chevrolet dealership and told him the customer never paid for our accidents.He just wanted to argue the point and didnt want to hear anything I had to say.Bad business practice!!!!!

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.

When I had my oil changed my oil cap was not put back on my engine. I got a check engine light looked under the hood and saw that it was gone. I called my Jiffy Lube and was told to have my car towed over and they would have a replacement cap for me and would do a free oil change. I had my car towed in and was told that the manager I talked to that morning must have lied to me, that there was no way they would do either of those things. I was told I needed to have someone pick me up or call a cab to go buy a new oil cap myself, and that they could slightly top off my oil or me and that would be it. I was given the district manager Leyon's number and called him Thursday, Friday, and Monday leaving voicemails with my name and number. He has not called me back.
