- This is the toy store of your dreams for your beloved wheels! -…read more It's said that Yelp is real people writing real reviews! Soooooo I'm not going to parrot their fine website. Instead, I'm going to tell you how I and many of my friends and neighbors utilize this place! I think of it as different levels of use. Check the Products section for this info. Arriving- They are directly on Main Street in teeny tiny Avon Park so they're easy to find. Mostly street parking here. Ambience- Lots and lots of stuff that's kind of sort off arranged by type. For example, custom sounds systems are in the same area. It can seem a little cluttered but it's clean and decently merchandised. Customer Service- I've never had a problem. There's a bunch of stuff that's fairly technical. So, if the person you're talking to doesn't have the knowledge, they'll quickly get the person who does. Products- I call the Toy Store Level #1. All the little stuff you seem to need like trash containers, sun blockers, seat covers etc. On my last visit I purchased a perfect, cushioned, steering wheel cover! See my pic. Level #2- Customized sound systems. Folks into that stuff will drool here with professional installation readily available. Level #3- Pickup truck customization. Everything your heart desires and more. Level #4- Tires and general maintenance. Catalog- Plug in the make, model and year of your wheels into their website for a targeted search to meet your needs. Conclusion- In today's world of online everything, it's sometimes valuable to be able to touch something before you purchase and these folks fill that need and more.

I am not a "car guy!" You won't catch me discussing the merits of different brands of brake pads…read more Nor will you see me buying spark plugs or multiple cans of oil. I'll leave that stuff to the professionals. However, that doesn't mean that I don't need this kind of place from time to time. Maybe I need new wiper blades. How about my favorite brand of windshield washer fluid? Or maybe I need some touchup paint. For all these kinds of things, these guys are just fine. They are minutes from my home and have a big parking lot with easy in and out. They have great hours. The store is spotless, and I find it easy to find stuff. I've met several employees and they have all been friendly and efficient. What's not to like! If I need something auto-related, I'm sure to stop by.

It's amazing to me that we can support all of them! This one is exceptional and worth visiting if you need the odd part or accessory. Parking- I mention this separately because it's just a dream. It's on three sides of the store with multiple access points from the highway! Merchandising- So clean you can eat off the floor. Great signage. Just a pleasure to browse. Employee Expertise- Nobody knows everything about cars. Let's say I ask Mary a question. She might say "Bill knows all about that. Let me run and go get him." Sure enough, Bill is an encyclopedia on that subject. Just awesome! Pricing- I've been to the competition, and they are right in line with everyone else. A bonus is that their return policy is easy and quick. It's extremely likely that, if you visit, you'll find what you need. A solid experience all around.

- 10 Star Steller service! -…read more Sooo, I'm in my MickyD's parking lot sipping on my 99-cent breakfast Iced Coffee and my car battery died! As this is a PG rated review, "Oh crap!" I needed a new battery. Customer Service- I called these fine folks, and a very nice employee told me that the owner Matt would be there to help me within 15 minutes! That's right, the owner of a business that's been in operation since 1958 was coming to help! He showed up in less than 15 minutes, jumped my car within seconds, and explained where and how to park my car at his place. Very efficient staff checked me in and took my keys. Ambience- I plunked myself down in a comfortable chair and noticed the very nice couch and flat-screen tv. Within minutes Matt came out and quoted a fair price and said it would be done quickly. Rest Rooms- At one point I headed for the restrooms and laughed out loud and the sign on each door! See my picture. Now I know why the men's room was eat-off-the-floor spotless! I didn't check the lady's room as I didn't want to deal with the screaming that would ensue! Wait Time- In less than 45 minutes my name was called, and I was out the door. That is nothing less than spectacular! My tire pressure light had lit up recently and I noticed that they took care of it without asking. Nice! Conclusion- What I experienced was a Master Class in customer service and professionalism. Ten (10) Stars is not enough!

Nervous about tomorrow. Probably won't show…read more Was recommended by a friend and after what happened he is looking to move his business as his daughter was not acknowledged just like me. Walked in with one gentleman at the counter and 3 people behind the counter. Stood there for a couple minutes and the lady asked if I had an appointment, I said no I was hoping to make one and she turned away and went to her computer. I was taken back. Customer sneezed and everyone said bless you and I said "sorry, I don't have the credentials." (Got a laugh from everyone) Stood there another 5 minutes after the only other customer went to sit down. Then I went and sat down. More people came in and I started openly asking who their best competitor is as I've been here for 15 minutes and haven't been helped. Scared me that no one had any recommendations. Then lo and behold I was pointed at and called on. Felt like the price is right and ran to the counter. Asked them who their competitors were as I'm not sure I have confidence that this is the right place for me. They all looked and the lady looked at me and said I didn't know you needed to make an appointment and I said yeah. When you asked I said "no I don't have one but would like to make one" and you walked away. Great costumer service. She was apologetic. But the first impression and confirmation from what my buddy experienced was done. I chose a tire and set up an appointment for an alignment and rotate of tires. But I'm scared if their workmanship is twice as good as their front office staff I would be lucky to have 30% of the lug nuts even on the vehicle when I pick it up. What would you do? I really want to use a local small business. But wow, just wow. I expect this kind of treatment from Firestone or discount tire. Not a locally owned business. And people wonder why local businesses fail.

It's the apocalypse! That's what it feels like when your auto AC dies in Florida and that's what…read morehappened to me! They have a great reputation for this kind of work so off I went. Arriving- They are just off US Route 27 on West Main Street and super easy to find. Their parking lot is big enough to handle the load. Pro Tip- If your work is going to take a while, use Yelp and you'll discover that you can easily walk to at least three places to grab a bite. Ambience- This is an older building, but they keep it in nice condition. The waiting area is better than most with plenty of coffee and bottled water. A nice flat screen. The men's restroom is spotless. I can't tell you about the woman's restroom as I wanted to avoid all the yelling and screaming that would ensue! Pro Tip- There is decent password protected Wi-Fi and also a Xfinity Hot Spot. Outlets for a charger are a little tricky. Customer Service- Everyone that touched me was universally pleasant and courteous. There was a little confusion between my car and another and I received multiple genuine apologies and a nice discount on my bill. They are very popular and with that comes they are extremely busy. When you go here it will help if you think of it as two places. A tire shop and a mechanics shop. They sell a ton of tires and move customers in and out with efficiency. While I was there, tire customers were waiting about 45 minutes for their turn in a bay. If you need a mechanic as I did, make an appointment. If needed, they will accommodate you with a ride home or even to a local watering hole! The Work- Always top notch for me. I have a ton of friends that swear by them! Their pricing always seems to be fair. In this town they are the first stop for many folks if you need tires or a mechanic. Conclusion- If you need tires, they are a solid choice. They are also great if you need a mechanic, but you may need to wait a bit as they are a victim of their own success!

You shouldn't tell mechanic jokes.............You auto know better!…read more If that terrible joke generated a small smile, visiting this great guy will make that smile gigantic! Arriving- It's a teeny tiny place fronting Main St. and next to Ace Hardware. It's about a minute from US route 27. Pro Tip- If you are going to be waiting, there are multiple restaurants and a great dive bar within walking distance. Just check Yelp. Ambience- Sorry, there isn't any. If that's what you're looking for, go elsewhere. Folks come here because they want quality work, priced fairly, and completed in a reasonable time. Customer Service- I've only ever interacted with the owner. This guy really knows his stuff! He's also darn good explaining the issues to folks that don't speak "Car." I've spoken with multiple happy customers who have specifically mentioned this! Services- He is a General Mechanic and is especially well known for resolving electrical issues. Conclusion- Because he's so small, he books up quick. Also, the last time I was there, payment was cash or check only. As long as you're not looking for fancy décor, come here for 5-star work and service!

I tried to get her to come with me, but she refused so off I went. I'm not a used tire guy but in my little town this place is famous for them and the friendliness of the proprietor. It was one of the easiest transactions I'd had in a long while! The tires were in stock, the price incredibly fair and the owner, Pat, was indeed very friendly! The tires were mounted, and I was in and out in about 70 minutes. So, what did I do? I had a long 90-minute lunch. I then returned my friend's car and spun this great completely fictional story. The negotiations were grueling. I lost a pint of blood hammering out the price! I was completely exhausted and needed a nap. So, what did I get? A kiss on the cheek! Oh well!
