Auto repair service near Lecanto, FL

My 2015 Chevrolet Silverado was due for its first transmission fluid flush at 90,000 miles which was performed by Fishers in October of 2022. Two weeks later, the transmission failed without warning upon departing from a traffic stop light. Within minutes of the event, I brought the truck to Fishers for help. They explained that the transmission had gone bad, could not be repaired, and needed replacement. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, agreed to the replacement and paid nearly $5000. To their credit, the replacement of the transmission with a warrantied remanufactured unit was accomplished quicker than estimated. With the work completed, the truck ran well ...until May of 2023 when a loud squealing noise was heard and followed by a very hard shift. Additional intermittent noises and sloppy shifting prompted a return to Fisher's ...to which they acknowledged that the fluid was already exhibiting signs of failure, but did little else beyond suggesting: "We'll just have to wait and see what happens" and the owner Sarah telling me that she would contact the transmission remanufacturer. A few more weeks of driving with the specter of an imminent breakdown triggered my bringing the truck to a transmission repair specialist. They diagnosed a failing Torque Converter and stated that the fluid should not look or smell the way it did at just 7000 miles after a major repair. Despite being under warranty, I had no desire to wait until the transmission failed, the probable long tow back to Fisher's, likely warranty claim disappointment, and downtime impact upon my business route. My experience with Fisher resulted in the premature loss of a beloved truck, adding a large unplanned financial (on top of those already incurred) and time expenditure for a replacement vehicle. They were given an opportunity to address the problem when it was obviously getting worse and their inaction has lost them this faithful customer, his mother, her neighbor and whomever else I can convince with this review.

I DEALT WITH MARK SWANDER AND IT WAS A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. HE IS KIND, VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO DEAL WITH. APRIL HIS RECEPTIONIST, IS ALSO AN OUTSTANDING PERSON TO DEAL WITH, PATIENT AND PROFESSIONAL. ALTOGETHER AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SWANDERS.

As a returning customer from years ago - friendly staff, and knowledgeable - and will work with you to get your car back on the road. Awesome place!!!

Do not do business here. I bought a car and went to get the title for it, it was rebuilt, but he neglected to tell me this. It is illegal to sell a car that doesn't belong to you, and not to tell the seller that it has a rebuilt title. Pursuing criminal actions. Also, he did some work to the car, as a mechanic shop, and when things weren't working right, I took the car to a dealer, and found the fuel level sensor laying in the bottom of the gas tank, etc....What kind of mechanic shop is this? Be wary.....
