Unless you like getting your things broken, I wouldn't come here.

KEVIN (AutoER 2838 SW ARCHER RD GAINEVILLE FL) - A RARE FIND - AN HONEST AUTO SERVICE MANAGER…read more I am used to inflated auto repair estimates recommending unnecessary work all the time. I thought my Kia dealer in Northern VA where I have been getting all my services done were not too bad but recently they told me that my brake pads only had 4mm left and gave a yellow rating. In addition to brake pad service (possibly new brake pads), they also recommended a brake fluid drain and flush and their quotes were eye-watering. I just moved to Gainesville, FL and put on another 10K miles without getting any work done after that check-up and thought I took some serious risks with the brakes but got away with it. Right after completing my move, I visited the AutoER shop on Archer road and Kevin agreed to provide a free inspection and estimates for any necessary work plus maybe an oil change (my Kia manual recommends a full synthetic oil change every 7,500 miles or 1 year). Imagine my surprise when after a THOROUGH inspection (again, not costing me a penny, with photos of the brakes, engine oil, brake fluid and more to boot), he told (and showed) me that everything was in great shape - except the engine air filter and the cabin air filter - and he showed me photographs of the dirty filters. I had braced myself for some serious damage to my wallet but I couldn't but be impressed by Kevin. This is the kind of rare experience that earns long-term loyalty. I cannot recommend Kevin highly enough!!!

Yesterday went for another oil change went to get in car and grease was on the leather seat in several spots and again greasy hand prints all over front of car. Went in and told Terry, he got somebody that came with a dirty rag to wipe off my leather seats and exterior body i told that worker no. Never saw Terry again no apology no nothing. I left . This morning my wife move the car out of the garage and there are oil drips all underneath. I got underneath the car and there was clearly oil on the outside of the splash shields and oil dripping off bolts. This is a 2023 car with only 18k miles and never leaked a drop of oil. Took car back spoke with Terry ( who again never said anything about yesterdays fiasco.) They took the car in the back told me everything was tight and all they can think is the tech missed the opening and thats why so much oil on splash shields. Never saw Terry again I dont think this is a very professional shop that cares about their work and i think Terry could care less the product his techs are turning out. I cant imagine what kinda troubles i would have had if they had done any mechanical work! Ps Terry it would be nice if you called your customers when their vehicle is ready. both times my vehicle sat out front in a different location that where i originally parked it and when I went in to get it because it was moved. it was ready both times. They charge a premium price and should be giving exceptional customer service!

I went to this Firestone location for an oil change, and later to have a tire puncture repaired…read more In both cases, they did a reasonable job, and my vehicle was returned clean, with all interior settings -- seat position, mirrors, steering wheel, etc. -- as I'd left them. This review is only neutral, because the attitude of the guys who deal with customers isn't great. The first time that I brought my vehicle in for an oil change, they didn't have the correct oil filter in stock, so that was a completely wasted trip. Part availability could have been confirmed over the phone, without waiting for me to drive out there. After the tire puncture was repaired, no one called to let me know my vehicle was ready. The guy at the desk knew my phone number. I'd given it to him twice, in person. If I had to choose, I'd pick workmanship over customer service, but it would be nice if I didn't have to choose one or the other.

Her regular mechanic was closed but she needed her car fixed. She called this Firestone, told them what was going on with her car, and they told her they would look at it asap. She got it towed to Firestone. She got a call the next day on Sunday and was told that the technician that was working was not experienced enough to do any type of thorough inspection and that they needed to wait until Monday morning when the more experienced mechanic was back at work and that her car would be the first in line for inspection. As Monday morning came and went, she never received a phone call, so she finally called them, just for them to say that they can't do anything and she should just take her car to her regular mechanic. She then had to call another tow service to have her car towed again to her regular mechanic, once the tow truck showed up, This FIRESTONE called my daughter and said that they would not release her keys until she paid for their diagnostic. She told them that nobody did any work and they only informed her of the same information she just told them 2 days prior. In my opinion this is EXTREMELY SHADY BUSINESS, I would advise people to avoid this place.

This is a family-owned place, and I always love to support local and family places…read more I was recommended this place by a colleague and read all the reviews online. They are exceptional! They tell you exactly what you need and nothing more. Their pricing is very competitive in that I believe it was fair and service was good. They provide you with a quote and breakdown via text message that leads to a website with price of parts and labor for each thing. You could even text their number, which was great. The main reason why I am only giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of communication. When I called about my car that was towed there, I asked about turnaround and expectations. Now, when I got there, they had a lot of cars in their lot. I definitely did not mind that it took longer than expected. I didn't call or check-in every day but I did try to get updates bc I needed to know if I needed to get a rental. I wasn't given turnaround time and with the games and events happening in Gainesville it got too late for me to get a rental. I honestly felt like they were purposefully not answering me or answering me at the end of the work day. I know I could've just gotten it but one of team members I know was truly trying to save me money by telling me to hold off on getting a rental until I heard from them. I ended up not getting a rental which was difficult with work. I ended up asking for some leniency at work and would bike (which was scary on Archer), but it was fine. I am very grateful and would definitely come here again but now I just have no expectations with regard to their communication.

We also stated it was our only vehicle and would need it then. Almonds called us week later to explain we needed a new manifold & the price. We told them to go ahead with the repair & we would be back at the end of the following week. They called us again 4 days before we were to return to tell us they lost our truck keys, so they had not started the repair yet. 2 hours later they called to say they found our keys. We told them again we would be in late that same week for the truck. Jan 16, Friday, we called to pay for the repair by phone, so we could pickup our truck Saturday . We were told they had not even started our repair yet! I scrambled to call around to find a rental car for the weekend. I finally found one available at Budget-it cost $300! We drove there first thing Monday, only to find they had just pulled our truck into the shop then proceeded told us that they had no idea when they would finish the job that it could take a few more days! I was very upset and told him how he cost us money and he did not care. He admitted he lost the keys and waited 5 days before calling us to tell us! He also admitted he failed to get our truck into the shop in over 3 weeks time, knowing we were coming back to no vehicle and he then admitted not having anyone let us know it was still not completed or why. No follow up, no customer service. NO APOLOGIES AT ALL. JUST AN OBSTINTANT and ARROGANT ATTITUDE. ONLY INCOMPETANCE FROM THE START. I would not trust this place, as they have proven to be unreliable and incompetent when you need them most!
