Exhaust went out in my husband's truck driving back home hours away and they were able to accommodate and get it all fixed in less than 2 hours. Very professional and affordable would recommend coming here to anyone if you need work done. read more

Unfortunately, we can no longer recommend this garage and will no longer be using them ourselves. We paid $1700 a year ago to have a new ac system installed, and one year later the compressor failed. It was still under warranty, but they wanted another almost $900 for the labor to replace it. After I called and spoke with them, they lowered it to $760, but I still feel this is not something the customer should be responsible for. Their customer service is also lacking, as they literally laughed on the phone with me and told me this is how a business is run, and parts aren't made like they used to be. So they don't stand behind the parts they install and are willing to lose business over it. read more

Called the most popular place in Ocala to install a gooseneck hitch in my 2024 F250 on short notice. They were swamped and recommended Don's Garage for faster turn around. After setting an appointment, I noticed a few bad Yelp reviews. I spoke to a service manager about my concerns. He assured me the utmost attention would be given to the installation the B&W hitch in my truck bed. I planned to leave the truck for the 4 hour install but the waiting room, although small had a nice smelling candle burning, a space heater keeping it cozy and seating was comfortable enough to stay and work on my computer. All the staff was polite and courteous and even opened my truck door when I was leaving. The cost was better than some of the competitors. If my truck wasn't under warranty I would take it to Don's for service. Highly recommend. read more

They had my van diagnosed and fixed the same day. Customer service was incredible and pricing was very reasonable. We will be back for all our future repair needs. Highly recommend! read more

We had been customers of Don's Garage for about five years with no issues. This past April when our car was in for 120,000 mile check up and brake replacement, they overlooked leaking struts and bad wheel bearings. Wes at the front blamed it on the mechanic with bad hearing. Fortunately, around this time our transmission gave out and we had to go to A-1 Transmission for a replacement. We were able to transfer our business over to A-1 Transmission for all our needs, because they were the ones who found the other two problems that Don's Garage severely overlooked. read more

Took my F150 into Don's to look at an issue where the transmission kept dropping gears randomly while driving. The service writers were great and knowledgeable. They listened to the issues I was having and gave me information about the issue based on the symptoms I had provided. After having the truck dropped off to them, I received a call the next day letting me know what they had found and options for how to address the issue. After approving the repair the truck was ready the next day and is running great now the issue has not come back and it is truly great to have my truck running properly again. Highly recommend this shop for their honesty about the issue and fair pricing for repairing it. I will be bring my vehicles to them from now on. read more

I have been bringing my car to Don's Garage for years. They are great to work with. Good service and fair prices. Great customer service. I highly recommend them! The guys are pretty entertaining too read more

I brought my 2006 GMC Sierra there to have an alignment done, the people are awesome here. The steering column was messed up beyond what i thought could be repaired and they did everything they could to fix it for me! No where near as pricey as a lot of shops around the area. I'm so glad i found a reputable shop to take my dirty max too and actually trust the people working on it! read more

Don's Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Ocala, Florida

I was driving from South Florida to Ocala and the throttle body on our 2007 Suburban stopped working. I was going up to Ocala to see my father in the hospital. I was on the highway and the truck wouldn't really go above 60 mph and no one on the highway was ok with that. I'm from out of town and I don't know another soul in Ocala and my vehicle wasn't running right. So I read some reviews and took a chance. I'm so glad I did. These guys took my car in the morning, and had it fixed by early afternoon on the same day. They could have really charged a lot of money, as I was so desperate to get my vehicle fixed. But they didn't. They were FANTASTIC!!!! The price to fix the truck was incredibly fair and they got me back on the road in a matter of hours. I couldn't be more grateful. I know it took me a bit to get this review written, but it's only because life has been crazy with my dad, but I still haven't forgotten their kindness and professionalism. Trustworthy and reliable. You won't regret taking your vehicle to Don's Garage!!!! read more

This repair shop stepped up to the plate when I had car trouble while travelling from Atlanta to Ft. Myers. Another shop had tried to get me to spend $2100.00, boo hiss! Instead Don's Garage performed the (apparent) simple work around repair, which took about an hour, and I was on my way. Words cannot express my gratitude!! Thank you Thank you Thank you !! read more

This used to be a credible place to take your car. I was told initially that my car would cost only $300.00. When I showed up it was $975.00. Then I brought my car home and had to recharge the battery twice and found out that they didn't plug in some wires that should have been plugged in. When I called them and asked for help he said..."Well if it is something we did we will fix it if not then you are going to pay." To do this to a WIDOW with two kids is despicable. If my husband was alive he would not put up with this especially since he was a mason and a member of the Ocala community. read more

Took my automobile there for an estimate on a noise I was hearing. I later discovered the mechanic used my car for a personal errand! NOT GOOD! read more

Quality work and on time, no tricks or added charges from the quote. Now my go to garage for large non DYI fixes.

These guys were the best find ever. I have a sedan with 240k miles, and they were able to fix a number of issues for me that Pep Boys wanted to charge more for, or could not fix properly. They were able to chase down an oil leak that had been a problem for weeks. Very patient and courteous staff. read more

I'm new to the area, and on the drive down from Canada I had a piece of trim loosen on the bottom of my car making a nasty metal on metal sound. These guys took care of it for me, it only took about 5 minutes, and didn't charge me a thing! Because of this amazing goodwill gesture I will absolutely be taking them any future cycles. read more

Best place for tires, guys are fair priced and fast. Always good to support a locally owned business.

I had a very bad experience at Don's Garage. It cost me thousands to fix things they missed. They definitely lived up the negative stories about mechanics. read more

Best local garage! Reliable, honest, fast and reasonably priced. They have been taking care of my cars for years. Now I send my kids there too! read more

Took my vehicle in due to it cutting off for no apparent reason. Got it back after overnight stay (my option due to time),and I was told it was fixed. Problem repeated after a couple of days. Called the garage and they took it back in to check. This time it was fixed,for cost of parts and no labor. Unfortunately the labor and cost of the previous parts were not discounted nor applied to new bill. On the upside they are courteous,professional and polite. On the downside they are not cheap in labor cost nor parts. I still use them every now and then due to location. NOTE: Be advised that the original garage was started by "Don" in 1965,and was known for quality work and service. Don sold his business with the name to two new owners. He is no longer involved. Get an estimate to the TOTAL cost,and have them call you if the cost changes. In my opinion they are a good garage,but need to work on being the best. read more

Went in when my car was throwing a Service Brake System warning. John took great care of me. Turned out to be low on brake fluid - he topped me off and sent me on my way! #Customerforlife read more

They did a great job and were extremely professional. Made the appointment for the next day and got everything done in a timely fashion. Test drove the vehicle to make sure everything was working properly! Thank you all so much! read more

Brought our truck to them and told them we had a coolant leak and and needed ALL fluids changed. Was told we needed a new radiator, no wait we need a water pump, no wait it's the thermostats. Ok so they say they changed out all of these and coolant leak is fixed. Almost $2000 later we pick the truck up. Headed to Pennsylvania we noticed service brake light comes on, then service air bag, oh wait not done yet.... Low coolant level comes on... Yes low coolant, so you ask didn't you just say they fixed that.... Yes that's what they said.... Half way to Pennsylvania we noticed that there was grinding noise coming from the transfer case and the sifter was vibrating.... Get to Pennsylvania and take truck in to see what is going on.... According to mechanic we we're told coolant leak was never fixed it was an old hose a $50 dollar fix.... (Nothing to do with radiator, water pump, or thermostats). Was told that sensors went bad due to clamps being left of after changing of parts in engine compartment causing dirt and debris to get to sensors. Was told that the transfer case was shot due to wrong fluid and over filling. So basically it will cost us another $3000 to fix what they never did and to fix what they messed up. Did I call to discuss this matter... Absolutely was I nice or lady like when I called absolutely NOT!!!! I am waiting to hear from mechanic to find out if any of these parts were actually changed out. I will keep you posted. The new mechanic also said that they have had many pipeliners bring their trucks to them after taking them to other shops and they have fix because all these shops see is $$ signs. Are we pipeliners yes we are. Are we loaded absolutely not. Like everyone else we have bills to pay at home and one the road. Long story short be very aware of who you take you vehicles to. read more
