Thought perhaps it needed a condenser and evaporator, but was blowing cold...just not really blowing at all. Figured out all that was needed was the fan & motor (all one piece). Eric ordered that from the local dealership, sent back the other parts (Which for once, I didn't have to pay for!) and just installed it today within 5-10 minutes and it all cost less than $400, labor and parts, three visits and everything all buttoned up. Amazing! He was even willing to come to ME to install it. Couldn't ask for a kinder, more honest mechanic anywhere. You people that are going elsewhere are NUTS! He even came in last Sunday to work on it simply because it was my only day off! NOBODY does that! I'll be going back for everything from now on. Oil changes, brakes...even the little body parts for my jeep I want to change out. Best repair ever and I'm so lucky I found him! Thank you Eric!!

Installed wrong part, installed wrong update. Instead of updating the PCM they updated the ECM. Not only that but they replaced the airfilter with a faulty air filter. This is after they've had it for a week now! Ended up picking it up and taking it down the street to AAMCO. They had it fixed in a day. Confirmed wrong part, update and the faulty/broken air filter installed. BEWARE!!!!

Took about a week including warranty inspection, approval, and getting parts. Total value of work was closer to $5k before discount, copay, and upgrades that were recommended but not required & therefore not covered. Overall Excellent rating. Was very unhappy w/treatment I received at dealer, felt much more confident that this shop knew what they were doing.

I took my car in for an engine and transmission exchange with a budget of $14K. I was assured that…read morethe budget was appropriate. My first mistake was not agreeing to an estimated time line for the work to be completed. 19 months, a lot of headaches, and constant proactive efforts on my part and I finally got my car back. I was told the engine is a 350ci. Turns out it is a 383ci. The center link (very important for steering) was a complete piece of garbage I had to replace before the car could be driven Safely. The a/c line was connected haphazardly and did not work due to using an incorrect connector. The idle was set too rich for appropriate engine break in. I was fed more BS during this process than I can relate. In the end the project went over budget by several thousand dollars. I have spent several thousand additional dollars correcting the problems created by this shop. In closing, I encourage everyone to find another shop to do business.

We were looking for new used clean low mileage Kia Sedona that had 8 seat configuration. For some…read morereason we just couldn't find any decent ones in Jacksonville from a reputable dealer. Then we found the exact car we wanted on Tomlinson Motor Company's website via cars.com (not being from Gainesville we would have never known to go to their website directly.) We couldn't believe the low price and low mileage and immediately drove down to Gainesville the next morning. We had contacted Bill a few minutes after closing time and he still took the time to patiently answer all of our questions. Bill Carter met me out front of the beautiful and clean facilities the following morning and he wasted no time giving me they keys to test drive the Sedona alone. (He knew I travelled far and didn't want to delay me). The test drive and car inspection went well and in 45 minutes i was on my way back to Jacksonville with our brand new car. Did I mention NO DEALER fees and between 1.5K-2K lower price than most competitors. Tax Title and Tag only, What a pleasant surprise. The car looked and smelled brand new with barely a scratch or scuff on the interior or exterior surfaces. We love the car. This is how all car buying experiences should be. Bill Carter you are a professional and a gentleman. Thank you and Tomlinson Motor Company for your great service.

The salesman met me inside with his sunglasses on and did not introduce himself? He was very vague when I asked him questions about maintenance and warranty.
