Took my truck there for something simple. Got it back and the very next day, the radiator was leaking. It had been working fine with no cooling problems. They replaced the radiator and a couple of days later the alternator was bad. Again it has been charging fine. I warned my cousin but he took his truck there for brakes anyway. He got it back and the next day his AC stopped working. When we checked it, the AC has been grossly over pressurized with coolant. It was working perfectly before they got it. Brakes have nothing to do with the AC but the AC was fine when it was dropped off. Nothing like planting time bombs in your vehicle to drum up more business.
Beware of this place
they charge $165 an hour and they still can’t figure out what was wrong with my trucks window
I took my truck in yesterday to get the window fixed on the driver side
which one their friend that recommended me
Went over there on Thursday and spoke with them about my truck and the issue I was having with the window they said to drop it off in the Monday morning and it will be done by the end of the day
So Monday morning around 830am I drop off my truck and ask him how much he thinks it will cost to fix and he told me it shouldn’t be much
an hour after they called and told me that they couldn’t figure out what the problem with window and they needed more time to look
when I asked him how much longer would he need because they’re charging me $165 per hour without even telling me that from the beginning
That that was the rate
he replied
“ had no idea how long they would take cause they didn’t have a crystal ball that’s his exact words “
They were gonna charge me $165 an hour
Until they figured out what the problem was
so I told him no Im good
I’ll just go pick up my truck
“ I asked him when I dropped off my truck how much would it cost and he wouldn’t give me a straight answer he told me it wouldn’t be much well I guess $165 an hour is not much “
Long story short I spent $171 and yes $171 because I was charged a six dollar fee on top of the 165 they charge per hour for doing nothing without them even telling me that there was an extra fee for using my credit card
So they charged me $171.02 for one hour of doing nothing to my truck they haven’t even diagnosed it cause they don’t even know what’s wrong with it lol because they need more time which means more money )$165 per hour is crazy to me not even dealerships are charging that ‼️
And this is how they treated me after I was recommended by a friend of theirs so you could only imagine if you’re just a stranger
Be very cautious when going to this place
Spent $5800 with them on a Ford diesel for a no hot start issue was told $2200 to start but that didn't fix it so 3600 more still not fixed after I was told it was, said they replaced oil pump and all oil pressure related seals still same as when it was dropped off , also ficm was not put back properly lock for wire harness was broke and no mounting bolts put back, so had Ford dealer fix $980, also run it out of fuel damaging new ford fuel pump with only 2000 miles on it had Ford dealer fix $1080 also took it to them with 2 new batteries 3 week old said it needed new ones when I ask for 3 week old batteries back said they didn't know where they were and truck still won't start when warm I'm out $5800.00 if you decide to let them work on your diesel good luck
Grouchy and doesn’t want to take time to answer questions. I’ve tried on 3 separate occasions to deal with these people and I will not ever call them again
I cannot say enough good things about this man. Dave is an honest, upstanding guy. Very knowledgeable mechanic. He goes above and beyond. I am very blessed to call him my mechanic.
Got there at 5:00pm closing time, but, was very happy to be helped and get the trailer I needed for tomorrow early.... thanks for going the extra mile, much appreciated.
Had an issue with our car but because it could have been several issues we needed to get it in to figure out what it was. The shop we use to use wouldn't call us back so I called this shop. The owner was very nice and did the diagnostics on our car. Figured out the problem and then refused to take money for the time he spent doing the diagnostics. We will be using him from now on for our repairs and somehow I will make sure we pay him for his time.
Dave did a great job working through a difficult repair on my pickup. He made sure it was drivable while we waited for parts so I could drive it during the wait. He is very reasonable and does good work.
The most honest&down to earth mechanic I have ever met.takes a while but repairs are correct&have never needed a re do.Recommend this business to everyone.
Needed to have my truck worked on and it was like he open up his toolbox for me ! I’ve had other sensitive issues. The kind of guy you hope to see when in need !!!
Outstanding service! They replaced the clutch in my truck and the water pump about two months ago. No issues with the repair. They were extremely knowledgeable about clutch repair where other places I checked out were not. They gave a detailed accurate estimate, were able to get to my truck the day I brought it in and was done ahead of the time promised. Fort White automotive is now my go to for automotive repairs and service. Excellent job. Friendly people.
Simply amazing service. We broke down on i-75 and had our vehicle towed to this location. They squeezed it in on a Friday afternoon and were able to complete the job. Reasonable rates. Definitely recommend this facility
Dave is busier than a one armed paper hanger. But that's a good sign when hiring a automobile mechanic. I personally worked with him in the late 1990s he taught me a lot. I unfortunately and disabled now. And Dave has helped out family repairing some of the Toyota fleet we own. Dave doesn't brag about himself. But I can assure you he has more technical training than your current medical doctor. If you are on the fence wondering if you should use him for your car repairs don't be. He does good work , he doesn't cheat people, and he is just a all around nice fellow. I'm glad to know him.
i recomend these guys totally!
honest! honest! honest! if it ain't broke they won't try and fix it. I've been there several times with what I thought was an issue. left with no issiue and no bill. they have helped me many times on the spot. I recomend them completely.
The owner & the guy who balanced our tires were both quite nice. I called ahead to ask if we could get 2 of our tires balanced. They were able to do it as soon as we arrived because we brought only the 2 car tires, in the truck bed, so they didn't need to put the car on the lift.
New to the area so naturally I had no one to assist me to drop my vehicle for repairs amazingly took me home and picked me up when my vehicle was complete very honest and friendly this will be my go to for my vehicles
I was in a pinch today and needed a quick oil change and a tire looked at. The gentleman from the shop looked it over, drove me back to work and dropped my car off when it was done. I didn't have to worry about a thing. The level of service is not what I'm used to in this area! Thanks so much!
Excellent service checkd my car out told me exactly what it was and what else could be brought it in the next morning he calld me up let me know what it was gonna need and price and hey was lil pricey but ill tell you what damm worth it cause he got the job done and in same day Amen feel soo blessd to have stopd in and trust them honest reliable real mechanics ...
We we're on vacation and broke down beside the hwy . We made a call and asked for a tow truck the owner came out with truck and said he could fix the problem where the truck was at to avoid towing back to the shop and having to charge me for the tow. One hour after we made the call he had the truck back on the road with a very reasonable price . I wish he was in Mississippi so I could use his business .
This place deserves negative stars for their uhaul rental part of the business. Placed a reservation for a truck and car dolly. Showed up and there was no car dolly there. When I asked about it the guy said he'd go check, 10 minutes later he hasn't returned so I go find him and he's just standing around talking to his buddy's. I asked him again what was going on, he then finally called who he claims was a uhaul office. He was on the phone for a long time, finally got off the phone and told me he had other stuff he needed to get done i would have to figure it out myself. I asked if I could at least have the truck, and he said no he had to go he didn't have time to deal with me and then he just got in his truck and left. I don't know why uhaul lets inbred white trash that has no work ethic represent the uhaul name.
