This shop is now called Jimmy's Auto Repair…read more It used to be Vaughn's Auto Shop (aka Quality Shop & Tire), and let me say this clearly, it was the ONE mechanic in the area you could actually trust. Fair prices, honest work, and a constant stream of cars coming in and out. People didn't just go there because it was convenient, they went there because they knew they wouldn't get taken advantage of. Senior citizens trusted Vaughn, including my mother, because they knew he would never rip them off or steer them wrong. Vaughn, to me, will always be one of the kindest, most decent men I've ever known. He took care of my mother and her cars for over 20 years. I remember calling from California to check on her, and every single time, she was getting solid advice, fair pricing, and real care when it came to her car. That kind of consistency is rare. I will never forget how well he and his team treated her. Fast forward to today. Vaughn passed away a few years ago, and his loss was deeply felt in this community. With him, it feels like the heart of that shop went too. The business is now run by Jimmy and his daughter. And the difference is noticeable. Where there used to be a steady flow of customers and cars waiting to be serviced, now the lot is often empty. My mother and I both had a very different experience there recently, and I'm going to be very direct about it. The treatment was rude, cold, and dismissive. It made the entire interaction very uncomfortable. My mother, who lives on a fixed income, tried to ask if there was any flexibility on pricing for a relatively small repair. The answer was no, and it felt final. No effort to work with her, no understanding of her situation. And that's where it really hits. Vaughn would have worked with her. He understood people. He understood that for someone on a fixed income, even a small unexpected expense can throw everything off for months. What used to feel like a place that cared now feels transactional and indifferent. For long-time customers who supported this business for decades, the shift is hard to stomach.

Employees have been with him for years.

Subsequently, I hooked up my OBD2 Scanner (On-Board Diagnostic Scanner) and read the codes. Since my normal mechanic had a month long backlog I called these guys, then asked a few questions and then towed it over to Robert to dig further into the issue(s). Everyone I talked to was pleasant, knowledgeable and responsive. They were able to work me in the following work day and after determining what parts were needed, obtained them promptly (I.e. next morning) and had the job completed by late afternoon. In short, my car was in and out by the end of the third day. Kudos to these guys for a job well-done, timely and very much appreciated. This was the first time I have ever dealt with Hutson Automotive - and will do so should the need arise again.

I used Nextdoor to find a mechanic for our automotive repair needs since we are fairly new. One that caught my eye was Hutson Automotive in Fruitland Park. People mentioned since they were experienced racers AND the were the choice of lots of people with the $$$ to invest in vintage cars favored this place, decided to give it a try. THIS PLACE IS 1950'S, MAYBERRY RFD, HONEST, HARDWORKING, I WOULD NOT QUESTIONS A SINGLE CHARGE BECAUSE I KNOW IF THEY SAID IT WAS NEEDED IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS honest!!!!! I will tell you I witnessed them tell people "hey, it might be under warranty and if it is great, but if it is not, bring back the receipt and I will deduct it from your bill should you choose to have us repair it". I witnessed people walking in to buy a "part" from them they personally were going to install vs having it done. THESE PEOPLE ARE REAL, HONEST, GENUINE PEOPLE!!!! IF your car needs ANY kind of servicing, I STRONGLY recommend you give them a call for your needs. Their mechanics have been there 20+ years which tells you they treat both the customer AND employees fairly. I was also impressed with observing them fight on the phone to FIND parts that are needed but unobtainable currently because of supply chain issues on behalf of their customers!!! I'm here to tell you there is not a place I have ever taken a car to in my nearly 70 years on this earth that I have felt better about. I am so very grateful for the recommendations I found here, and I know that as long as we are on this big, blue marble that we have found OUR automotive needs, won't take you to the cleaner's place for LIFE!!!!!!!
