My son recently moved to Florida. We had his car fully serviced before he left home and everything was running great. When he arrived in Florida his AC wasn't working and we were referred here by Carmax to see if it was a covered warranty issue. They said come on in tomorrow morning and we can take a look at it. They discovered it was not a covered repair, however, they were able to fix it quickly the same day and luckily it was only a couple hundred dollars. Everyone was very polite and professional. Nice cold AC now in this hot Florida weather! Highly recommend. read more

Great business. Wonderful service. Professional mechanics. Fair pricing. Clean waiting room with water, coffee & soda. A plus all around. You will not be disappointed. If you need a good garage you need look no further. Everyone I have recommended to come here has been 100% satisfied. read more

My sister and I just discovered Swinsons last summer when we began taking our dad's old Wrangler in to get it fixed up. Since then, we haven't taken our cars anywhere else, and our cars are purring like kittens! They are quick to get your car in. They always call to confirm what they are doing before they do it. They won't try to sell you on getting something done that you don't actually need. The staff is friendly. This is a trustworthy, neighborhood business. I highly recommend checking them out! UPDATE: After I got a new vehicle, I took it to the Chevy dealer where I bought it to get my discounted oil change. The next day, I found oil all over the floor of my garage. I had to drive across the state that day, and needed it fixed quickly. Swinson's got me in right away and fixed me up. I can't believe I trusted my car to anyone else. Never fall for a discount at a dealership! I'm never cheating on Swinson's again. read more

Had my daughters vehicle towed here after her alternator went. I had Swinson's replace the alternator and also changed a hose and replaced coolant. Once my daughter drove off the lot, she called me to say that air conditioning wasn't working correctly and then eventually the car started overheating. None of these problems existed prior to coming in. During the work they informed us that the radiator had a previous leak that stop gap was used and they could replace it for XXX of dollars. Since it wasn't leaking I decided not to get it replaced. Upon contacting them about the current issue they said bring it back in but it probably was the radiator. Upon my daughter bringing it in, I was told the radiator needed to be replaced but also the fans because they were burnt out due to my daughter trying to use the AC while the car was overheating. Needless to say I am not dumb, unfortunately she was just 1,000 miles away from me for me to do anything. I had her take the vehicle to another mechanic and explained everything that were told, no reason to lie, put it all out there. The new mechanic found a clip that was holding the fan from turning. Not sure if it was intentional or if had been placed on there when the alternator and hose was changed but none the less it was on there. Once removed the AC works fine and there is no overheating. I can understand missing it the first time but when it was brought back in you don't see it and you tell me that the fans need to be replaced because they are burnt out. It cost me an extra $250 to correct Swinson's mistake not to mention the UBER fares. I used the contact form to ask for at least my $250 back but till this day I have not received any response from Swinson's. They state that they are Christian, but this experience was far from it. read more

The group of staff here is professional and they have great service. I heard the noise from the breaks so thought they needed to be changed. I called an made an appointment for them to check it out. They pulled it in right when I got there and said the "arm" was sticking, but the brakes were fine and didn't need to be changed. They greased it up, put it back together for me all for a very reasonable price and to top it off told me when they do need to be change keep the receipt and they will credit that charge to actually changing the brakes. The waiting area is small, but super clean with massage chairs and beverage options. The staff seems to enjoy their work and working there and it shows. read more

This used to be a good place, but I think they have changed hands. We used them 3 times in the past few months, and they were incompetent each time. The first time, they fixed something on my husband's car that didn't need fixing, and charged us for it. The second time, they said they didn't know what was wrong. Then I took my car there. It took 4 days for them to look at it. They said the battery just needed to be charged. $65 later, the car died again the next day. We will never use them again, and I will tell everyone I know to avoid them. read more

Went in to have my Lancer serviced for new front struts and coils. They diagnosed the issue and the pricing was great vs. other quotes. Worked with Franklin at the desk. Definitely recommend for auto work! read more

The alternator belt broke, so I drove to the nearest place, which was Swinson's. When they asked me to pay for a diagnostic up front, that raised a red flag since I have never been required to pay prior to service. I also said that I already diagnosed it as a broken alternator belt, but the refused to look under the hood unless I paid first. Ok, so what the hell. They called later to report that the alternator belt was broken. They added that it broke because the AC compressor failed, which caused the engine accessory pulley to seize. There estimate to fix: $1400. That was a shocker. They also said that the brake pads needed to be replaced because two were at 5 mm and two were at 4 mm. Another red flag, since I had only put on about 2000 miles since replacing the pads a couple years ago. They also said the brake rotors needed to be replaced because they were rusted. Well, no the braking surface was not rusted at all. So I knew they were liars and so I called AAA and had the car towed to Red's in Ocoee. They said they didn't know what the people at Swinson's we're talking about. They replaced the alternator belt and plugged a small leak in the AC compressor which otherwise worked fine. We had them do a top to bottom inspection as well. The pricetag? $280 all told. This compared to Swinson trying to rip us off to the tune of over $2100! So my advice is to stay as far away from this shady operator as you can. I asked for my diagnostic fee to be refunded since it was obviously bogus. So far no response read more

Great group of guys....very professional and willness to help. I have a 2008 Mercedes ML350, my rack opinions was leaking and it was under warranty, the warranty company didn't want to pay for the repairs. The guys here at the shop were very patient and understanding and they called the warranty company and resolved the issue Yes they went above and beyond. Highly recommend....... If something is wrong with your car they will guide you and explain the issue... read more

Swinson's Car care - Waiting area and check in window - Auto Repair Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

The mechanics at Swinson's have handled the routine job of changing the oil in our 2013 Nissan and the more challenging job of tracking down and fixing a few leaks in our 2006 Toyota. (With over 200k miles on her, our Toyota has become something of a project!). Both cars were serviced quickly and thoroughly with a level of expertise and efficiency I've not seen in many service shops. I'd like to add also that the friendly professionalism of the staff I encountered is refreshing as well as appreciated. Unfortunately, the usual treatment of women in service shops that I have experienced in the past has not been as respectful. Not only will we definitely be visiting Swinson's for our future auto needs, but also we will be happy to recommend them to anyone else in need of exceptional mechanics. read more

Car Service always makes me nervous and I am always skeptical when using a mechanic that I am unfamiliar with. I trusted the reviews and took my car there for an Alternator replacement. I wasn't sure if the exact problem but Ravi explained that he would run tests to ensure the problem is addressed. Ravi quoted me a price and got the job done the same day I brought It in for service. When I came to pick the car up, which was only a few short hours later, I was told the price was indeed cheaper than the price quoted. I am a happy customer who will be taking my business to Swinson's from now on. The staff was professional and courteous and I never once got a feeling that I was being taken advantage of. This is Car Repair without the worry. A+++ Thank You Swinson's and Ravi. read more

Best place ever!!! reliable and always pleasant. First choice for all of my car needs.I trust frank with my car and he always keeps me informed of any future service needs. read more

Called in and asked if I could come by for an oil change. They said "sure, no appointment needed". I then came by a few days later and was ignored for half an hour. I walked over to Jiffy Lube next door where I received much better service. I try to patronize local businesses, but this was ridiculous. Probably better if you need bigger work done. Would have appreciated a heads up that they don't like to do oil changes if that is the case. read more

I am thrilled to have this place around the corner to my house! I was spoiled growing up because we had a mechanic in the family, so I have a hard time trusting anyone else with my car. My car had a bad battery terminal ( per my friend because I have no idea about cars) and it was having trouble starting. After beating the battery to death it started and I Yelped and found this place to drop my car off. I left a note on the dash stating that I would be back in the morning and a brief description of what was going on with my vehicle. I showed up the next day and Ron the manager assisted me. I assumed that I would leave my car for the day and they could hopefully work it in. I described the issue I was having and he knew exactly was it was and stated that it was a simple fix and he could take care of it right way. Now, I would never expect to have anything done so quickly but I was very impressed with their customer service and I felt confident that he would take are of the issue and not try to fix anything else that didn't need fixing. (You know how some places are...you go in for a oil change and then all the sudden you need a ton of things fixed that you didn't even know was broken) My car started right up, Thank you Ron for taking care of me. Hopefully I don't have to visit too soon in a good way. read more

Super professional bunch of guys. They did an amazing job with my car and went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right at a fair price. I was kept up to date with any concerns along the way and got my baby back in the road in good time. Thank you Swinson's! read more

They fixed my sons car for free. He recently had a tuneup done by another mechanic and the check engine light came on afterwards. He took the car to Swinson's and they quickly determined it was simply a disconnected wire. We'll definitely use Swinson's for all future repairs. read more

I can't say enough about these guys! I had a slow leak in my tire and they fixed it in no time for a super reasonable price. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. I would HIGHLY recommend going over to this place over the other repair places in the area. read more

Very friendly staff! I was greeted and helped as soon as I came through the door. I just move to Florida recently. This is the first shop I decided to try out and honey I am not disappointed !! Very affordable, efficient, and CLEAN!!! The massage chairs are a plus in the waiting room! It definitely makes the time goes by fast !! read more

I typically use Yelp to reward evidence of consistent good service as opposed to bash those who may have had a one off bad day. That's my style. And because it can be hard to find the honest and reliable among mechanics I tend to call them out. Especially if a bad apple review my throw someone off... this is a quality shop. Just like Grace C below, I'm new to the area and Swinson's got me on the road again the same day. They drove me home and picked me up free of charge. In fact, they were able to make my minor electrical repairs for the cost of the diagnostic alone. They provided me with totally reasonable estimates for maintenance I'll need to make soon-- but wasn't a rush right now like my front/rear pads and some additional electrical work. Definitely a good find. It was a pleasure to talk to Lou (hope I got his name sp right :) But the service manager Frank Simmons was top notch for friendliness and making this customer happy. He obviously cares about the customers. read more

I'm really sad to offer this bad rating, however, I took my 2009 Nissan Cube in because the "Service Engine Soon" light was on. They proceeded (on three separate visits) to do a complete "Tune-up" for around $800.00. Took car home and within one day the "Service Engine" light was back on. Took it back and they decided I needed a new radiator. One day later light is back on. They decided I needed a new Catalytic Converter. I didn't make it one block before the light came back on (along with) a strong gasoline smell. Took it back to shop and they supposedly fixed it. By this time they have charged me almost $4,000.00 to fix it. Light came back on after one day again, by this time I had decided to sell or trade in, I really couldn't sell it to private party because we still couldn't tell what was wrong with it. Finally traded it on new Toyota, probably cost me about $2,000.00 on trade in because the idiot light was still on and the gas smell was so strong. Man, I know I'm a moron for spending so much on the cube repair, but the car had sentimental value. But I would really stay away (far away) from this shop. read more

Swinsons auto service pros is the only place anyone should ever take their car for service!!! Trustworthy! Reliable! Friendly! Professional!

I took my Jeep to them to get my radiator replaced. it was something that I was needing for a while and it got to the point that I needed it done. I went to Swinson's and they did an amazing job! I dropped it off on a Sunday and picked it up at the end of the day Tuesday. They were so efficient and the parts they use are covered nationwide!! A few months after I had my radiator replaced, my upper radiator hose blew a hole and I needed it to be replaced ASAP! I had it towed to Swinson's on a Sunday and got it back by end of day on Monday! My car has never run better! read more

Very polite and courteous... came highly recommended by a friend who works on vehicles. Showed me everything going on with my car when I asked, so I could learn more about my car. They communicated well with me throughout my visit, will definitely be back. read more

Excellent service here @Swinson's. Came in for an oil change, and they handled it with professionalism and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. No upsell on trying to get me to pay for things my car didn't need either, so the experience was pleasant all around. Their prices might seem a bit high for some services, but you're paying for great customer service and keeping your money local instead of with those big service chains. Definitely recommend! read more

Stopped into Swinson's before I left from visiting my parents over holiday... great service! Franklin helped me and was super friendly and they had me in and out of there in no time! I'll definitely be back and tell the rest of my siblings for when we go home to visit :) THANKS! read more

Went to Swinson's today because my battery died. They replaced my battery and had me out within a half hour. In these uncertain times it's nice to know we can still depend on this great business to there with their professionalism. Great job!!! I highly recommend this place! read more

If you're looking for friendly, knowledgeable and HONEST service, look no further. These guys are the real deal. I worked with Franklin and he couldn't have been nicer. He checked to verify that the part I needed replaced was not under recall. It wasn't, and I asked for him to do the replacement, but he informed me that it is the #1 part replaced on my type of vehicle, told me to keep my receipt and I can get a refund from the dealership when they decide to recall it. So happy to have found this place. read more

We took our Jeep Wrangler here for a tune up and man do these guys know their stuff! They are able to get it back up and running for VERY reasonable price after it had been sitting for two years. She runs like New again. They fast, friendly and priced very well! Highly recommended. Skip the chain shops and come to a place we're they treat you like family! read more

Swinson's was recommended to me by a local, and I was very happy with my experience. I came in and was greeted by the general manager, Franklin, and he took care of my car immediately. They kept me updated about my vehicle and the prices were fair. read more

Called before having my van towed here. Someone on the phone said they will get to it the next day. Next day came and went nothing. I called everyday for 5 days straight. They then told me that Fri at the last minute that they do not do big vans and that i would have to take it elsewhere . Well why didn't someone tell me that in the first place since the first day i called ? I will never recommend these people to anyone especially those with over-sized vehicles. Take your business elsewhere . read more

I had some work done on my VW SUV here recently and I can say that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of work and the attention to customer service I received from everyone at this shop. As a person that is not very handy when it comes to cars, I typically feel like I am being sold / taken advantage of when I go to car repair shops, but this was completely different. The guys were knowledgeable, honest and quick with the repairs. I'm glad I finally found a place I can trust for work on my VW without paying a small fortune at the dealer. I would highly suggest this place! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! I came in on a Saturday and had a nail in my tire. They were closed but a very nice guy named Z happened to be there who was one of the mechanics. He put a patch on my tire at no charge stressing Swinsons is all about customer service. Z is a huge asset to this business. This will be the only place I come to for car repairs icing forward! read more

Everytime I come here everyone goes aback and beyond to help me and provide the best service. I can always trust them.

Thank you, thank, thank you to Franklin and his team at Swinson's! They helped saved me hundreds of dollars on unneeded auto repairs quoted by other retailers. They whole team is fantastic! Courteous, friendly, Real-time estimates and no hidden fees or costs. I will never take my car anywhere else, neither should you! read more

My car broke down suddenly on me on my way home from work the other day. As someone who has never had any major car problems, I was panicked because I had no clue what to do. Thankfully, I had brought my car to Swinson's in the past for minor repairs, and I knew I could trust them with my car. I had my car towed to Swinson's, and Travis was helpful every step of the way. He reassured me that they would do the best they could to repair my car. When I was unsure of which repairs to undertake, Travis talked me through all my options. He gave me his own personal advice and explained what he would do in my position. He was so sincere, I knew he wouldn't lead me wrong. I highly recommend Swinson's for all your car care needs. They are my designated repair shop. There are many places out there that can fix your car, but not that many that will deliver you excellent service and honest advice. Thanks to them, I have a car that runs as it should and at a fair price. I am truly grateful for their help and assistance! read more
