First off let me say that I initially met with Lisa who was very friendly and seemed trustworthy…read more I explained to her that after a check engine light showed up I had Auto-zone run their scanner on my vehicle. They did so free of charge and returned error code P1757 recommending to replace the governor and possibly the transducer in the transmission. I further explained to Lisa that after the governor and the transducer were replaced, the check engine light returned with the error code P0868. She said they could do a full diagnostics for $150 made be a transmission specialist. She made a note of the recent history on my ticket. I told her I would leave the scanner reports and changed parts in my truck cab in case their technician needed to refer to them. A few hours later, a gentleman who I believe to be the owner called me, saying that they would need me to approve an expense of $600 to $900 for them to finish the diagnostic, because they would need to drop the pan to go further into figuring out what is wrong. I declined and asked when I could pick up my truck. He said he would have to see because they would first have to put my truck back together if I was declining to go any further. I confirmed I wanted my truck back and he said he could have it ready later in the day. When I got there i asked what they had done. it turns out they had only plugged in their scanner and printed out the report. The same type of report I had told them Autozone had done for free and that I had left for their convenience in my truck. I paid my $156 and asked to see the report. obviously it returned the exact same two error codes P0868 and P1757. Nothing more. It took them all but 3mn to start the engine, plug in the scanner, turn off the engine then plug the scanner into their computer and print out the report. So when I remembered that over the phone, the owner had claimed that if I wanted my truck back he would have to see to "put it back together" this was a huge red flag as to their honesty and straight forwardness. When I asked him in person why they did not do more diagnostics then simply running a scanner, when they knew I had already done so, he responded that he was not going to have his guys drop the transmission pan for $150. I would not have had a problem if he had been upfront and had explained that his diagnostics would be nothing more than plugging a scanner. i would have likely skipped that step and asked how much it would cost me to get an actual professional transmission diagnostic. When I got home from their shop, I was surprised to realize that my box with the parts and diagnostics report made by Autozone were no longer in my truck. Needless to say I will find someone else to work on my vehicle.

I had an oil change performed at the Take 5 location at 6225 SW State Road 200 in Ocala before a…read morelong-distance drive. I specifically asked the attendant to make sure the oil filter assembly was secure, and I was told it would be double-checked. About 300 miles later, I stopped and found oil sprayed all over the underside of my car, with the vehicle smoking from oil burning on hot components. I brought the car to another Take 5 location in Quincy, where a technician inspected it and identified the problem: the oil filter housing cover drain plug had not been reinstalled during the Ocala service. Because of this, I had to stop my trip, get a hotel for the night, pay for a replacement part, and wait for the repair before I could safely continue driving. What makes this especially frustrating is that I specifically asked them to double-check the oil filter area before I left. I have photos, receipts, and documentation from the second Take 5 location confirming what was missing, and I am pursuing reimbursement through Take 5 corporate. Leaving a required oil-system component off after an oil change is an extremely serious mistake. I'm very fortunate I stopped when I did and noticed the leak before potentially causing major engine damage.

My previous mechanic, Brian Bednar, was one of the best in Florida, but announced his retirement at the end of January. I was in depression for a couple of weeks hating the thought that I might have to buy a new car. Brian graciously left us with a few referrals. For Asian cars, mine is a Honda Odyssey, he referred us to Rising Sun Imports. Two weeks ago I took my van to RSI, met owner, Butch, told him what I had been told my van might need and he took it from there. It was in fact in need of wheel bearings, which his crew analyzed, priced and did the complete job the next day at a fair price and my vehicle now feels like it's ready for a 2000 mile run and I no longer have the anxiety of having to buy a new car. read more

Spencer's Auto

3.0

Shameful Experience -- Please Read Before Going Here!!!…read more I brought my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overlander to Spencer's Auto & Diesel Repair in Ocala for what seemed like a minor heating issue. The vehicle had never overheated before, but they diagnosed and replaced the water pump, then claimed the radiator had a hairline crack and the thermostat should be replaced "just to be safe." They charged me over $2,700, which I had to put on my mother's credit card because I couldn't afford it on my own -- I'm a single working mom of two and a full-time nursing student. After driving the vehicle less than a week and only 200 miles, the check engine light came on for the first time ever and the vehicle began truly overheating. I brought it back, and they told me that coolant had entered the engine and the entire engine now had to be replaced -- for $9,000 with the shop acting like it was a favor to cover part of the labor. What really crossed the line is that the owner offered me a "temporary fix" so I could get rid of the vehicle -- essentially suggesting I pass the problem off to someone else before it blows up. I was shocked and disgusted. That's not just unprofessional -- that's unethical. I would never put another family in danger or financial ruin just to cover up a repair shop's mistake. This place took my only vehicle, made it worse, and left me stuck. They need to be held accountable for their practices. I'm filing a formal complaint with the Florida Attorney General's Office and the BBB. If you value your vehicle and your money -- go somewhere else.

It was POURING rain. Not a lot of choices. It was brought there and onloaded after great difficulty going onto the truck. The driver had never dealt with a Mercedes before. When it had arrived after dragging it on the truck, I left my 2018 C300 4 Matic Night Edition 71,000 miles (1 of 300 built in the world in 2018) with Shannon. They would evaluate and call me. I heard a couple days later. Engine was flooded with water and needed a new or rebuilt engine. Progressive opted to install a new engine. Fast forward to September 5 after picking up the car. It was not right. I brought it to my mechanic (Shannons is 1 1/2 hours away from my home). My mechanic found a broken engine mount and transmission mount. I called Shannon and spoke to the Owner. I asked why didn't you tell me. His answer, "Your car was on my lift. My lift time is costly. I couldn't wait for Progressive". This cost me out of pocket $1300. It could have been $600 if it was done while the engine was out of the car. While replacing the motor mounts it was found to have a broken axle (it was thought from the dragging onto the truck). Progressive did pay for that. Do not use Shannon. Maybe their lift time is more important than your vehicle also!!!
