Recently, I took my husband's Volvo SUV in for some much needed TLC before he headed back to work. It needed a good buff, some trim pieces painted and replaced, and his back hatch fixed (as it no longer stayed open). They scheduled us at a time that was convenient for us. And when the replacement parts for his broken hatch came back at over $1500 to replace, they helped brainstorm with us cost effective ways to get the function from the hatchback we needed, without the cost of full replacement. They successfully solved our hatchback issues at a fraction of the cost. Thankful for their quick thinking, creativity and customer service!

A friend, Kathy, had recommended Kenny, the owner of Myers Service Center, so I gave him A call. He said, "sure, bring it on over," so I called Geico and set up a tow to Kenny's place. I really was afraid that it may have been curtains for my dear Prius. But, Kenny quickly and methodically did a number of checks and found the problem right away. I was very impressed with his calming, friendly manner, and how confidently and methodically he diagnosed the problem. I was SO relieved! And, amazed at what a fair price he gave me. I plan to make Kenny my "forever mechanic" and will highly recommend him to friends and family members

I would not recommend Ahren's-- especially to university students-- based off of my experience with…read moretheir team and their extreme upcharging of parts. Their pricing is not honest at all. I took my car in with serpentine belt issues. For my make and model, this part generally costs $30-$50. Ahren's priced this part at $80. Their diagnostic examine also found belt tensioner issues. For the serpentine and belt tensioner replacement combined, they quoted me $512 of repairs. This is extremely high and gives me the inclination that this is another mechanic in town that is trying to take advantage of college students who are not as informed on car repairs. I do not think the presented quote is fair by any means so thanked them and let them know I would not be having service done their. I was presented with an $85 fee for a half-hour diagnostic look. This fee was not disclosed beforehand at all, was not mentioned verbally, and I did not sign anything agreeing to this fee. Take your car elsewhere. I took my vehicle here just out of convenience of location, but have previously had much better service at the Firestone off of Archer and with Billy's Auto Repair & Towing. UPDATE: I went in to pick up my car and wish I could leave a negative review. If you take your car here and leave without even having any work done, you will be charged an $85 minimum. I asked why I wasn't informed of this in anyway (no signatures, no verbal inform) beforehand and the woman working the front desk had the owner come out. He raised his voice and started asking why I hadn't taken my car to Billy's or somewhere else. In his rant he referenced other reviews that I have left on Gainesville for miscellaneous places which was unsettling. He lied and said he listened to my phone conversation, saying that I was informed of all fees beforehand-- I certainly was not and he wouldn't play the recording. I have lived in Gainesville for many years and can say assuredly that this is one of the shadier places in town. They use deceptive business practices and their prices are anything but honest.
