I am from a very rural town in North Central Florida...the kind of place where everybody knows…read moreeverybody and when it comes to cars you do it yourself or get a buddy with a local shop to help you out. Thus when I moved away, I had a bit of a struggle when it came to a good garage...I was looking for that small town feel where no one would try to sell me something I didn't need, take advantage of me, overcharge, or be rude. I found that place in Al's Garage. Fast, friendly, and never trying to pull a fast one on me. Though generally pretty car-ignorant, I DO try to educate myself on what is wrong with my car or attempt to fix it myself where possible/when safe and feasible (a remnant of my country girl upbringing). I have had moderate success in that department, but the times I've failed or thrown in the towel and brought it in to them (once with an inner door panel half removed after I gave up on some task or another), they have always treated me with respect and if they chuckled at my failure as a mechanic, they at least did me the service of doing so in private haha. Most importantly, I appreciate that they don't talk down to me, something that often happens to me when I have gone to other repair shops (likely a symptom of being a young woman who is, as I said, self-admittedly car-ignorant) and their willingness to explain and answer my questions no matter how tedious. I'm going to be relocating again soon and I will be sad to have to find yet another excellent garage.

I could've sworn it was the front left and had thought that tire looked the worst out of the four tires, but the people at Lloyd were honest in informing me that it was actually the front right side! They replaced that tire and the sound is gone, effectively ridding me of my driving anxiety. They could've just replaced the left tire like I had initially asked and let me continue experiencing the issue, but they let me know exactly what the problem was. Chris was also very kind + patient when I had quite a few questions. I will be returning soon to get the other tire replaced!

I had shopped around a bit and found the pricing here to be fair for Michelin tires and quality, and the service to be exceptional. Thank you, Bret! I arrived around 3 and was out the door with everything complete before 4:30. I especially value the Drive Happy Advantage with tire purchases here. -free rotation and balancing -free flat repairs -free pressure checks, TPMS resets, and more I also appreciated the repair record check via CarFax to identify any possible other repairs that may be needed and the follow up call to ask for feedback about the service provided. I'll be back for sure! Update: 2nd visit yesterday for the inspection was the same experience-fast and efficient.

I hate to have to leave a bad review as the employees I interacted with were both very friendly. My…read moreinteraction with them leads me to believe that the deceptive business practices I (and apparently others) encountered come from higher up. I can only assume that a business that takes advantage of it's customers takes advantage of it's employees in whatever ways it can also. My specific case: I had a screw in my tire. It is a relatively new tire with plenty of tread left and the screw had planted itself between the tread, not in the sidewall. When I took it in just before closing the person working the counter said they could plug it for me no problem if I left it overnight, and wouldn't even charge me for it. "Too kind! Thank you" I said, thinking that is how you generate loyal customers. The next day I had a message saying that they couldn't repair the tire. I called them up and they said something about the angle of the puncture, it sounded half baked. The person on the phone didn't sound completely convinced themselves and like they had a script for the "Snap Financing" they should try to steer me towards to pay for two new tires (so they'd wear evenly). After politely declining to buy new tires from them they were willing to re-inflate my damaged one so I could drive away. when I took it to another local shop today they were able to plug it no problem. I even asked if there was anything unusual or any reason at all they might have suggested I get new tires. The guy who did fix it basically said "If I wanted you to spend $500 you didn't need to today I could have tried lying to you too." in actuality he just said "Nope, it was a simple plug." Two stars for friendly employees who hopefully find something better when this place hopefully goes under, like it deserves to in my estimation.

Hi Yelp. Tried to support a small business. Mistake. Hope they don't get upset, waste half my work…read moreday, get mad over nothing, melt down, and break my car (again). *shrug* Never trust mechanics who refuse to explain their work. The only things they respect less than their profession are their customers. There's a reason a nearby spot told me they stopped giving Yeargan's the time of day. They act like guilty pre-teens who got caught cheating on a test if you ask them something. Dig other reviews here. There's a pattern. Short: Something went funny with my car when it was serviced. Their attitude during follow-up was "Yeah? Drink bleach." Then came the theatrics. Paid $200 to watch some guy freak out and wag the dog. Issue left unaddressed. Long: Got something done. Cool. They noted several issues, but I was already handling those through insurance (was waiting on two checks). Paid, drove home. Lightly touched a door handle. Couldn't get out. Hadn't touched it since leaving the car with them. Cable busted under their watch. Yeargan's lost it when I tried to discuss it the next week. Everything fine on voicemail, but when I went in, it was "$800 for this mysterious issue we *totally* did not cause, jerk!" Owner(?) came unglued and grew cartoonishly condescending when I pointed out they were the last people to use the door, and that I knew how cables break due to my job. You're a tech, sure, but I didn't toss my engineering experience when I walked inside. Yeargan's dived into desperate, scammy evasiveness. They didn't clarify the issue, explain policy, or introduce me to who worked on it. "We got out of it a bunch of times" was pretty much it. Didn't buy the glib take. Suddenly, they were aristocrats, acting like I dropped cash, left, trashed my door, and then sucked up their precious internet browsing time with my unwashed problems. The Nick Cage House of Reactionary Auto Repair and Trying to Scare 20-Year-Olds. Could've said, "Here's what we saw." Instead, Yeargan's demanded nearly a grand for a basic repair, which wasn't needed before I visited, and went full rage-clown. Embarrassing. Worked when I dropped it off, and you used it last... as you said ... so... Discount Occam's Razor for a second. The narrative would read, "Nah, some linebacker Conan'ing this handle around didn't bust it; the disabled person with a bum hand severed this threaded cable, yet didn't hear anything in a silent environment. Or micro-sized ninjas did it. Or Bigfoot. Anyway, we want $800 for this menial job." Sniff test: Failed. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Plausible deniability? Okay, but if you're certain? Explain it. I paid for expertise, yes? You already took the green. Back it up. Instead, Yeargan's showed no confidence in their work and threw a self-incriminating, huff-and-puff fit. Removed all doubt. Corpse at their feet, blood on their clothes, knives in their hands, screaming "We didn't do it!" but... uh... Hit dog will holler. After watching him deflect, I quit speaking with the huffy guy. He then started jumping into my conversation with another person to tell me what was what. Asked for an evidence-based explanation? Nada. Left to his own devices? "Power move Pete." Smartest cat alive, muttering to himself and tagging every other sentence with angry platitudes. A business model based on acting like a gym coach in a bad 1983 comedy. What's "overcompensation"? Hit dog will holler. Hurt their feelings when I responded to their 758th automated text with "You owe me a new door handle!" Boo-hoo. They wasted tons of my time, and a quick DIY fix corrected their mistakes. Yeargan's whining to the pay-to-play joke that is the BBB, using selected de-contextualized recorded snippets (... creepy... ) about how they *weren't* prickly, hostile, or unprofessional, was fun. "This customer ignored me while I repeatedly insulted him after he dared to ask basic questions! WE'RE TOTALLY *NOT* DEFENSIVE!!" A hyperventilating man with a bruised ego, barkin' and fartin' to distract attention from their team's negligence? Doesn't scan very "pro." End result? Door was still busted. Contrarian outbursts did not solve the issue. Watching employees roll their eyes at their boss and his sneering, bitter asides, most of which were factually wrong? That also didn't help. Door was still busted. Again: Hit dog will holler. When I returned to my regular shop, they immediately noted I didn't even need half the work they tried to push on me. They also told me they stopped recommending Yeargan's, and that something was "obviously going on over there." Tell me about it. People need their cars. They use them to earn a living and care for their loved ones. If your options are nothing or this place? Stick with nothing. Keep looking. Your money, safety, and time are worth something. Don't entrust your vehicle to Yeargan's. "Top notch" in the same sense that throwing trash at a wall makes you an "artist."

My tire was flat, apparently slow leak as it seemed fine when I left that morning. I drove it there…read morebecause it was close. They told me $450 for new tire and installation. Then gave me a huge "complimentary" list of things I needed to fix. I didn't appreciate the upsell. They did put air in the tire, which I appreciate so I gave the 2 stars instead of 1. I drove it to Costco and had tire changed for $270. I get that it's more expensive in local garages than chains like Costco, and I probably would have paid an extra $100-but they lost my trust entirely with their laundry list of "things wrong with the vehicle" which was actually fine. Too bad. I like to support local as long as I don't feel taken advantage of.
