Karl recharged the air conditioning on my Charger RT, and it's blowing cold now. Quick and reasonably priced. Thanks again.

I came in for an oil change, which was priced reasonably. The quality of my experience: efficient…read moreand convenient appointment booking, excellent maintenance support, friendly team, tidy and welcoming waiting area. Also, I appreciate their follow up and feedback. I will return for my auto needs.

Some people might have had good experience at this place (All Car Shop 1755 S. John young Parkway…read morein Kissimmee Fl) but I am not one of them! I had bad experience with mechanic shops before, but this has been one of the worst! Imagine, I am a 64 years old Desert storm, Desert Shield and Iraqi Freedom veteran, and the manager I spoke with is also a veteran, and look at what I went through, my fellow veteran, we are our worst enemy. I can tell you my whole experience, but there is not enough room on this platform to do it, so I will give a brief synopsis. I first brought my vehicle into the shop (approximately the second week of June), for the check engine light. I was charged approximately $164.00 for a diagnostic, which confirm the code that I was getting about the engine misfiring. I didn't get it worked on that day, because they didn't have the parts. Approximately two weeks later I went back to get the work done. There are two reasons why I went back to that shop. One is, I assumed that they would apply (what I paid for the diagnostic), towards the repair cost, and the other reason is; I love supporting veteran own, or any business that deal with veterans. Anyhow, with the diagnostic, the repaired cost me over $3,000.00 just to change out 8 plugs and coils. Changing out the plugs and coils appeared to solved the problem, because the check engine light went off. On that day they were planning to also do a gas treatment (a can of gas treatment purred into the gas tank), for over $300.00. to avoid paying the $300.00 dollars, I went to the dealership the same day and bought a can of their gas treatment ($40.00 with tax), and pure it in the tank myself. Now here is where the story gets interesting. About three to four weeks later, the same thing happens again, the engine light came back on, with the same two codes. After going back to the shop (for the same issue), I was told that, in order for them to check it out, I would have to agree to pay another $164.00 diagnostic fee. After I agreed to pay the fee, they brought the truck into the shop (with the check engine light still on), to check it out. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes later, the manager (or who appeared to be the manager), came and told me that he was getting a misfire from one of the cylinders, but after clearing the code he couldn't find anything wrong with the truck. I told him that I was getting two codes instead on one, but he advised me that he was only getting one code. He continued by telling me he found a problem, and in the same sentence, told me that he couldn't find nothing wrong with the truck, I couldn't understand that! However, he advised me that because the job/parts were under warranty, he would change out the part that was responsible for the misfire. He also stated that he would also try a gas treatment after changing out the part. After he mention the gas treatment, I told him that I had added a can of gas treatment to the truck the very same day he did the repair. He then stated to me that the gas treatment I added was the cause of the problem. Remind you, I use the same cleaner the dealership used in my truck twice before, also it's been several weeks and several tanks of gas (I went through), leading up to that moment. Also, the whole time I was driving the truck (with the gas treatment in it), the check engine light has not came on once. Anyhow, he told me he was going to speak with his technician and get back to me. When he came back, he handed me back my keys and told me that the gas treatment was the problem. He didn't even bother to change out the part he found that was doing the misfiring, the part that I paid over $3,000.00 for, which was still under warranty. He told me that he wasn't planning to charge me. Are you freaking kidding me, charge me for what?! A job that he never did! He never worked on the truck, he never changed out the part he told me had the misfire, as a matter of fact, the minute I left the property and got out on the main road, the engine light came back on! If there are any veteran reading this post, beware!

We first took our van to D & D last September (2025) because our engine light came on and cruise…read morecontrol stopped working. We were leaving for MI the next day after picking up our "fixed" van. On the way, light came on, cruise didn't work. We kept taking it back because it wasn't fixed. They have had it more than we have! During this winter we experienced the same over and over. The van then developed where everytime we put gas in it it wouldn't start. The part they quoted us was almost $500 plus $100 to install. We were able to get the Toyota part from Toyota in Lakeland less than $250. D&D did install the part fixing the hard start. However, the engine light continues to come on and cruise stops. In May we were told a vacuum hose, plugged and capped had been found and they would have to locate a diagram of the engine to know where to connect it. Supposedly this past week the van was fixed. We picked it up Friday evening after dropping it off on Monday. Today, Sunday, the light is back on and cruise has stopped. On more than 1 occasions we were given a day to bring the van in which we would do , it sat for days untouched. Drove by Friday near noon van was where we had left it. We called an hour later told they were just scanning the code , we were called shortly to be told it's fixed and we could pick it up. It appears what happened was the code was reset, the van isn't fixed. We highly DO NOT RECOMMEND D & D. Unless you don't mind paying to have a problem that doesn't get fixed, extremely poor communication, knowing Don when he does show up works from 11am -4pm. But he will be quick to let you know he has a life, plus in addition to the repair side, he sells cars, and manages rental properties, as well as sells real-estate. He should concentrate on one interest and do it well! If not repair, then selling cars, if not that, then property management/real-estate selling. His Dad would love to retire completely and step aside but his son doesn't seem to want to do that. For us, NEVER again. Tells you he can fix it, takes your money, your time. We are retired, on fixed income, taking care of 92+ & 98 year old parents. Our own health is not good and this has caused us increased difficulties.

I dropped off the unit and it was fully rebuilt in 3 - 4 days, fully working perfectly plus it looked brand new.

I accepted (Not cheap, but not outrageous). Lots of vehicles in shop. AAA recommended them, tow truck dispatcher even said they use them. I am in town from overseas, in a bit of a bind. I was told it would be ready Monday. WOW. I checked on Friday, it was up on lift with two guys already having everything disassembled. Monday am at 0700 got the call to pick up. That was today. NOW: Its "early", but they did what they said they would do, for what they said they would do, and delivered it on time. I drove it a bit today, and so far so good. Unless it poops out in the next few months, I recommend these guys highly. Even at our initial meeting I was told that I could get the repairs a bit cheaper elsewhere, but they are replacing everything. Honesty works. While I hope to never see them again with this vehicle (which would change my review), if I have issues with another car, or need to recommend someone, these guys are top notch thus far. Much appreciated, John Mills
