Service stations service near Haines City, FL

Went in to get a starter replaced. Great fair price and amazing mechanics. I used to own a mechanic shop that i sold and these people know what they are doing A++ -Tom

I'm relatively new in the area, and needed to find a reliable automotive repair and service shop to help me with numerous issues that have been creeping up with my car recently. I had been noticing some issues with my suspensions, alignment, and some strange things happening with my engine, and since I'm not an expert, I needed a shop that would provide honest, friendly, and courteous service and wouldn't try to take me (and my wallet) for a ride. I was pleased when I called Car Port Specialist on a whim and had a pleasant conversation with them over the phone. They were patient with me and didn't talk down to me or make me feel small for not knowing exactly what the problem was. I came in the same day and they did some diagnostic testing, and I didn't even have to pay from the estimate. For me, this was big; other shops I called had no patience for me being unsure about the exact nature of the problem, and would have charged a substantial amount for the estimate. In the end, I was expecting the repairs to be more expensive than they were. Ultimately the engine issue was minimal, and the prices for everything were extremely fair. They were pretty quick with my car, and even gave me a ride home. Diana Spirelli

I went to fill with gas as I was returning car the next day and had time to kill before picking up the kids from the shopping outlet. As usual practice, just selected grade and started pumping. I had half a tank and as it ws near full, I turned and looked at amount $70. I then saw that the price was $5.89/gallon. As a visitor, I went into the station and asked if that was what Florida gas cost ( maybe much higher taxes?). Guys says, no, owner sets the price, most other stations are $3.50 or so. I said, so what you are telling me is that you are ripping me off?? Guys, says again, owner sets price. When I leave, I see a small sign in corner of lot, unlit that displays price. Unbelievable that the city and state allow such businesses to rip you off. These are a direct reflection of the people that run the cities and government of this state and it's BAD.

I waited 7 hours to have a hitch installed. I was told this would take 1-2 hours on the phone. When I arrived they said it would take 3-4 hours. From a customer service-satisfaction standpoint, this was utterly rediculous. I was informed someone had car trouble and that was the reason they were understaffed. It amazed me that I arrived at 8 a.m. and there was a constant stream of individuals in and out of the facility. They chose to keep "me" waiting and help everyone else that walked through the door as opposed to me .. the person who had an appointment. Needless to say I plan on informing as many people as possbile about my experience. This ended up costing me over $500 more for relocation due to the fact I had to stay an additional night in Orlando. I have never repsponded on line to any service received in the past. This was so unacceptable on so many different levels I don't even know where to begin... customer service, lack of respect of my time and planning, poor judgement, incosideration of "any" customers time, poor appointment scheduling, failure to execute any completion time set forth and the list continues. I move every couple of months due to work and I will pay double before I ever use the UHaul facility on Orange Blossom again.
