    I have no real complaints about this garage. Maybe somewhere there is a chain that only does oil…read morechanges, but this isn't it. I went here because my own garage couldn't fit me in before a trip. Like garages in my home state that issue annual state inspections, this garage makes serious money suggesting additional needed work. They give you the price and the manufacturer's suggested frequency of each maintenance repair. They will look up your vehicle on Carfax in case the repair history supports their efforts to sell you this work. As near as I can tell, Carfax reports are more reliable for auto body repairs than mechanical ones, but never mind. It can help them make the pitch, and it isn't like they are making it up. Besides, it is just a sales pitch and you can say no. The person I dealt with was not pushy or rude. He implied that the place where I bought the vehicle was remiss in not changing transmission fluid, but who knows - he might have been right. I declined that repair as it sounded pricy, and passed on the A/C maintenance as it seemed to cool just fine to me. I actually allowed the cabin filter to be replaced for two reasons: I thought buying something might head off more suggestions (which it seemed to) and when he pulled it out from behind my glove box it did look dirty. I looked it up later and I did pay over $40 for a $10 filter, but I didn't even know it was there and now I know how to replace it myself as needed, so it was a trade off. They got me into the shop immediately, but there was a 15-20 minute wait before they started the oil change itself (after the sales pitch). I assume they had to go to the parts place across the street for the filters. Can't expect them to stock them all. So I will keep going to my own garage for my oil changes when I can, but the vehicle did fine on my 1400 mile trip, so like I said, no real complaints; merely observations.

Will argue with you about things that they can't even work on. Zach is the worst. Looks at my battery and says come here everyone, look at this. Says what the fuck is this? It only has 90 day warranty. Everyone started laughing. Not that I care, my feelings aren't hurt, I am in law enforcement. But that is just childish. Worst service so far.

Be careful with them. They lost another customer. Your team provides good service? Yeah right, they charged me 23 dollars for inspection when they didn't even removed the tires or put air on tires as promised así I pay for them to play with my car waste my time and money and caused my car a leak they admitted before it didn't have a leak suit is what it store deserves. People Do Not Go there!

    I've been a customer for years but today they lost me, much to my dismay. I price them with a…read moremechanic friend up north who always said their estimates were good or fair. Today I stopped in with an illuminated check engine light and need for an oil change. The quote came to almost $350. Most for an "engine diagnostic" (that they do for free across the street at AutoZone) and $120 for an oil change. He said the cost of oil went up. My battery needed a charge (free at AutoZone) and the oil change was $45 at the quickie lube. I'm disappointed to learn my mechanic can no longer be trusted. I'll be asking around for a new one.

    Basically, I have all of the same concerns that YOU probably have when selecting a mechanic - who…read morecan you trust, and who is going to rip you off? Generally, I'm reluctant to give 5 stars to a business, because I can usually find some fault somewhere, but A-1 really deserves high praise. I was new to the area about two and half years ago, and had what I thought was a major problem with my truck A/C. Based on an ad on a restaurant menu that stood out, I took it to A-1. The owner, Beau, found the problem was a 53 cent part that was malfunctioning, and sent me on my way (very surprised, and happy). There was probably no better way to come to understand that this was a man, and business, built on integrity and honesty. For me, that would be more than enough to earn my repeat business, but over the past two years, Beau and the team at A-1 has also proven to be more than capable at diagnosing and repairing every issue I've had. He has ASE certification, and knows his stuff. His prices are more than fair, as well. This is as good as it gets, folks. I'm sorry to be leaving the area, because I truly trust this business, and it's owner. Do yourself a giant favor and give your business to this guy. Curtis

    I will never again use this company, and do not recommend them…read more I took my car to A1 Car Repair in Eustis because my AC had suddenly stopped working. I was told there would be a diagnostic charge of about $125 and that it would take 2 or 3 days. The next day I received a link via text with a quote. The quote included the diagnostic charge, indicated that I needed a new battery (which would cost about $450 and included all of the hold down brackets and other parts that I can't imagine are really necessary), and a $15 quote for an AC clutch. I declined the overpriced battery but approved the AC clutch. The next day I received a text link with an invoice that indicated the work was completed; however, the invoice link only charged for the diagnostic charge (nothing for the AC repair). I called to get clarification and the owner said they could not complete the AC diagnostic unless I approved the battery replacement. I explained that I am not willing to pay $450 for a battery replacement. (He said that is the going rate, and I won't get a better price from anyone else. I am able to buy a high-quality battery for $250.) I TRIED to ask whether I could replace the battery myself and return to complete the diagnostic. He went completely off at me! He said, "I am not in the business of diagnosing problems and then people doing their own repairs!" He would not let me explain that I wanted them to do the AC work. I remained calm. I asked him to please listen to me and let me speak, but he was having none of it. I finally just hung up. There was no way for me to pay the diagnostic fee remotely, so I called back to pay it over the phone. The line was answered by an AI bot that indicated I was to leave my contact info and someone would call me back to receive my payment info. I had no way to know whether hackers had taken over their phone line and might call me to steal my CC info, so I was unwilling to use that system. I tried several times to contact them, each time the Bot answered. I suspect they were simply screening my call. Finally, I had my husband call. He was able to make payment over the phone. It turned out that they had reduced the diagnostic fee to around $65, which was appreciated. But it did not make up for the disrespectful and rude treatment I received from the owner.
