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!

Total scammers. They disappeared with $450 cash without fixing my car. We had to get the police…read moreinvoloved. Do NOT use them.

Richard showed personal interest with my concerns. He sacrificed leaving town early on a Saturday…read moremorning- just to assist me. You see, my car broke down twice on HWY 27N this morning. 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.

Terry is as nice as he is good! I have used his repair services for 10 years on three different…read morevehicles. He is honest about what is needed and will explain each repair process so that anyone can understand. He guarantees his work and honors his guarantees. He is a one man garage and not a quick stop oil change, with many loyal customers like myself, who wouldn't go anywhere else, so it may take a few days to get your work done, but it will be done right, and at a better than fair price.

It's the apocalypse! That's what it feels like when your auto AC dies in Florida and that's what…read morehappened to me! They have a great reputation for this kind of work so off I went. Arriving- They are just off US Route 27 on West Main Street and super easy to find. Their parking lot is big enough to handle the load. Pro Tip- If your work is going to take a while, use Yelp and you'll discover that you can easily walk to at least three places to grab a bite. Ambience- This is an older building, but they keep it in nice condition. The waiting area is better than most with plenty of coffee and bottled water. A nice flat screen. The men's restroom is spotless. I can't tell you about the woman's restroom as I wanted to avoid all the yelling and screaming that would ensue! Pro Tip- There is decent password protected Wi-Fi and also a Xfinity Hot Spot. Outlets for a charger are a little tricky. Customer Service- Everyone that touched me was universally pleasant and courteous. There was a little confusion between my car and another and I received multiple genuine apologies and a nice discount on my bill. They are very popular and with that comes they are extremely busy. When you go here it will help if you think of it as two places. A tire shop and a mechanics shop. They sell a ton of tires and move customers in and out with efficiency. While I was there, tire customers were waiting about 45 minutes for their turn in a bay. If you need a mechanic as I did, make an appointment. If needed, they will accommodate you with a ride home or even to a local watering hole! The Work- Always top notch for me. I have a ton of friends that swear by them! Their pricing always seems to be fair. In this town they are the first stop for many folks if you need tires or a mechanic. Conclusion- If you need tires, they are a solid choice. They are also great if you need a mechanic, but you may need to wait a bit as they are a victim of their own success!

- 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.

God Damn it! I had a flat that couldn't be repaired!…read more I decided to try these folks in my little town as they had a good reputation and were not a chain. I love supporting private businesses! Atmosphere- First impressions were not that great as you can see from my pic. Ditto the inside. This appears to be a very old building. Customer Service- Just fine thank you! I was approached instantly, and my car was brought in. Implementation- Yup, the tire couldn't be repaired but they had a replacement. Bim bam boom, in less than an hour I was done at a very fair price! I'm going with four stars instead of five, only because the condition of the building is going to scare some folks away and that a shame!
