Used to go here quite often, they were honest and gave a really cheap price. About 3 years ago the quality of work had started to decline, and I was constantly being upsold and over priced. They even suggested I was leaking oil. I park on white pavement, I would've noticed that. Also another mechanic didn't see any problem whatsoever when I went to get my shocks replaced recently. I'm fine to pay more, but not pay more and a decline in quality. Shop rags being left in the car, brake pads not being installed properly are 2 examples that come to mind. I switched to another shop in Gainesville (city auto). It's a shame the place used to be great.

Unfortunately I had to have my car worked on, but they were able to get my car done almost right away and even though I called multiple times with questions and I was probably annoying Dillion was so patient and helpful.

Took my car here because of a rattling noise: after inspecting they told me it was something in the “motor”, and it would have to be completely taken apart to see what it is, and that the labor to do that would be so expensive that I would need to just buy a new car. I then went to City Auto Repair for a second opinion. Turns out there were some loose bolts from a repair done by the previous owner. They fixed it in an hour for $200 :| No more rattling. Won’t be taking my car here again.

I was visiting Gainesville when I brought my vehicle in initially to determine whether I had a bad battery or bad alternator.
While I it initially misdiagnosed as a bad battery, Kerry made things right and also went the extra distance to work with the company who initially sold me the alternator to get it properly warrantied & installed.
I'm very appreciative of the shop correcting their mistake and handling everything!

They are an absolute rip off. They fixed my car and charged me $420 for a new battery and a fuse, a week later it breaks down again and this time they wanted to charge me $1888.00 to repair. I will not be taking any more of my vehicles to them.

I've been taking our cars to Almond's for about 15 years, always excellent work at a good price. There have been several times when I was told after inspection that it didn't need any repair work. How often does that happen? I won't go anywhere else.

My husband and I have used this shop for over 20years and it used to be the most honest, dependable and fair priced auto repair shop. We will not longer be using them. I see other people are coming to the same conclusion. They are continuing on based on their prior reputation. After several experiences where we felt we were overcharged and mismanaged - we had our last experience where my husband brought his car in for a flat tire. Granted, he ruined the tire driving on it and he lost that hubcap. He got 3 new tires, not a problem, but they didn't put the 3 hubcaps back on - just placed them in the trunk. They put on a new gas cap for $70 (I priced it at Gatorland Toyota for $20.60) and still the check engine light that had been on since a prior visit (around $2,000 visit) was still on. The receptionist was really nice, apologized and said we could bring it back in. She also said she paid more for that gas cap. I am sure she did - but I would like my mechanic to get better deals than that. When you don't really care how much your clients pay, then your don't shop for a reasonably priced part. It is not that easy for us to get our cars in for repair with working, etc. Having to go twice is not acceptable. We will go elsewhere...I have several good recommendations.

We were visiting Gainesville, Florida from out of town and had car problems. Almond's Automotive repaired the car the same day and did a wonderful job! Thank you so much Almond's Automotive!Service: Electrical

My wife and I should have listened to the other reviews. Like others, we have used this station for many years. The service was once terrific. We don't know what happened but recent changes are the opposite. We were charged for 3X actual labor time but they refused to adjust the bill, equalling a ridiculous $294 an hour. That doesn't include the additional highly questionable "shop supplies" fee tacked onto the parts cost. The once friendly and helpful atmosphere is now grouchy. We won't be back.
