- 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.

I was trying to help out a friend. She was in need of some used tires for her aging car and was…read moredeathly afraid of the negotiations! 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! If you are in my neighborhood and are a used tire kind of person, this is your place!

This was a few years ago. I don't know how the business has changed since the last time I visited, it was a good enough first experience to write this review with honesty and human reality of a face ti face fact based experience artificial in can't replicate

- 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.

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!

Richard was the one who responded to my tow request, and helped me to remain calm. I truly feel that meeting Richard was a blessing and an answer to my prayers. It is rare to find someone who practices the "Golden Rule" ("to treat others the way you want them to treat you"). Thank you Richard for showing me kindness and validating my concerns. May you and your family continue to be blessed for showing genuine compassion.

-- Reputation is everything! -…read more I retired in this tiny town just over ten years ago and here are the things I hear about these fine folks- "God forbid if I ever needed another tow, I would call Macklin." "His employees are more friendly than the other shops in town." "I can get what I want done without that horrible upselling I get from other shops." "His prices are really fair." I could go on! Arriving- They are just off US Route 27 Southbound, very near all the Avon Park fast food places. If it's busy, park over to the left of the building. Ambience- The business has posted great photos, so I won't reinvent the wheel. The waiting room is basic and clean and most importantly, the chairs are comfortable. Customer Service- Solid as a rock! I blame the owner for his excellent hiring skills! Towing- 24/7, 365 days a year! Even if you're an impaired driver on New Year's Eve, these are your guys! Check their map on Yelp for the area they cover. Services- If it grinds or squeals or thunks or just plain fails, these guys will figure it out. Of course, they do regular service every X thousand miles. You know the deal. Pricing & Value- I'm like most folks. If I get something done, I will mention the price to my friends and neighbors to compare. Every time I smile! Conclusion- In my opinion, your chances of having a fine experience here are very high.
