I recently inherited a 2004 Toyota Camry XLE with over 255K miles that had been sitting in a Los…read moreAngeles storage warehouse for about 3 years. After driving it around Los Angeles for a few days, my husband felt we should ship it or tow it with a rented truck and car carrier because of its age, mileage and not knowing the car's mechanical and repair history, which makes a lot of common sense but was cost prohibitive. Because of my sense of adventure, I talked him into a one way road trip from LA with the car after promising to have it evaluated with a reputable mechanic once we got home. We drove it to Orlando after buying it a new battery, windshield wipers and got an oil change. I had seen a lot of positive Nextdoor posts about Mike the Mechanic in Winter Garden, so I went there yesterday for a detailed inspection because of things we noticed about the car during the road trip home. When I made the appointment with Brad, he told me to bring him a list of things I thought needed special attention in addition to the general inspection. After doing so when I returned on appointment day and after the mechanic's inspection, Brad sat down with me and patiently explained to me in terms I could understand line by line what all his mechanic said was wrong, including the function of each part, to the point it just didn't make sense to spend any more money on the car, especially since the worst problem was a fuel line leak, which explains the constant smell of gas in the car that I dismissed as accidental gas spill before we took possession. Needless to say I was shocked because we never saw any exterior floor leaks after parking the car wherever we went but somehow miraculously made it home safely by the Grace of God, sometimes driving on I-10 with speeds over 80mph in Texas. All of the other things wrong were fixable but the cost of fixing EVERYTHING would equal the cost of 3 of the same type used car. I've heard so many horror stories about how mechanics take advantage of women, so being an elderly woman I was very impressed and appreciative of Brad's (and the mechanic's) honest assessment because to look at the car and the fact it was driveable for such a long distance on the highways over a week, you would never know so much was wrong. He also suggested that if I am interested in buying a used car, bring it in for an inspection for free before signing on the dotted line. Saying all that to say I won't be using Mike the Mechanic or any other mechanic to work on my unsafe inherited car but will use him for our other cars. HONESTY is their virtue so quality is a given. I recommend calling Brad for an appointment at Mike the Mechanic, (407) 877-3933, 1143 E Plant St Winter Garden, FL 34787.

After switching out the gas cap, the light still didn't go off. We scheduled an appointment with them and they were kind and quick to get us in. My husband dropped off my car at 2:00pm on a Friday and the place was packed! That's always a good sign as others are using them, too. They were prompt in getting us in, communicating with us, and fixing the issue. In addition, they didn't even charge us because it was simply just resetting the light. We will definitely be going back to Mikes!

I booked my appointment online a few days prior and was surprised and a little skeptical as on the website it said my tire rotations, brake check and general car checkup was free. I was thinking that maybe they would get me once I'm in with some sort of fee or labor. I was wrong! I came in and a gentleman helped me get my profile in their system and within 5 minutes of me getting there, they were already working on my car! There is a gas station and a Starbucks nearby if you need someplace to be but I ended up just staying put in the lobby to see what they are doing to my car. They told me it would be done about 30-40 minutes. Sure enough, 30 minutes later, my car was checked and my tires rotated with a clean bill of health! They told me what I needed to keep an eye on like fluids, etc. but didn't sell me on any service or scare me into getting work done to my car that wasn't needed. I appreciated their honesty. Final thing to settle was the bill - it was indeed free! No hassle, they gave me my work breakdown on my car and sent me on my way! I will definitely be back to this location for my routine maintenance and any other work I need done for my car.

Then when you only need 1 service, he will only offer the most expensive option and lie that they don't have a cheaper option.

Go somewhere else. They are a new Mavis and I get it, it's a business and they're trying to make money, but they are liars and will over charge you without any qualms.
