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.

An old fashioned service station- a repair shop that sells gasoline. Not a convenience store.Employees vary from friendly to strange, sometimes both. Some seem annoyed when you walk inside to pay for gas.Has non ethanol gas. That's really the only reason to stop here.

I've been going to this shop off and on for a long time and was always satisfied. My Dad and my brother's family also have used this shop without any issues. Apparently they've gone through a change of management, which might be in large part why it seems things have changed, both from my personal experience and from reviews read online. When I dropped off my car and waited for the check up and estimate. I was told the valves needed to be replaced among several other minor maintanace issues. They quoted me a little under 500. I compared the costs online and they were overpriced both in parts and labor. I went ahead with it though due to my past with the place and left my car there to get worked on. When I called later in the day to check on the progress they said they'd discovered that my valve covers had holes in them and were busted pretty badly. So I needed two new covers. The quote then jumped to 1500. I did some research and saw that Honda 2008s can have these issues. So, aside from the weirdness that they didn't bring this up from the onset, I thought this could possibly be the case. I committed to the 1500. Then when they called to tell me the work they'd done was finished, they told me my power steering pump and line needed to be replaced and quoted me for another potential 900... I called another auto shop and asked them if it made sense for them to have discovered these different issues in a staggered fashion, and the manager there said that, that should not have been the case... I'd be wary of this place. Aside from this off-putting encounter, they overcharge a lot for labor these days.

Just had my scooter gas tank drained because of this place. Was closest to my house and only used this station the first week I got my scooter. Debris and water were found in my gas tank. Do not use this station!!!

I like patronizing old Gainesville family businesses; friendly, competent ,available..... but OMG $50 to connect my battery cable to my battery??? (lucky the part was only $3 and it only took 10 minutes) $160/hour labor is outrageous, I used to cringe when i picked up students here, as an UBER driver. This is probably the highest labor rate in the county. This is one old Gainesville business that appears to have kept up with the time$$$.

I realized my rear tires were bald just before we were scheduled to take a road trip. I wanted to get new tires and I wanted it done on really short notice before we left. I called a few places and Almond's was by far the most helpful. I wasn't sure if I needed all 4 tires, but the manager at the front came out to check and said I only needed the two rear tires. I really appreciated the honesty. She gave me a number of quotes and the option to get it done immediately or wait a day which would allow them to get the tires more cheaply. I really appreciated all the options and clear explanation of cost. I opted just to get it done while I was there and they were efficient and friendly.

Pretty sure the gas pumps have something wrong with them. Took me forever to fill up (luckily I wasn't in any rush) and I thought maybe it was just my pump but noticed another guy across and his was also taking forever. Go somewhere else until they fix it

I was there on the evening of 3/25, about 10 min before 9pm, the lights were on everything looked normal, got out of the car started pumping the gas and the dude working there literally shut everything down while I was in the process of fueling . The light, the pump, everything went out. He was hiding inside I guess didn't have enough guts to come out and inform us about the sudden closure. Myself and another person there at another pump could've believe what type of tool they got workin there. Skip there are better choices.

Leaking pump on the north side of the station gets gasoline all over your car. I've told them twice about this now and they couldn't care less. Just looked at it and walked back inside. I told them it's dangerous and pump should be closed, to which they respond "ok thanks" and just stood inside. Avoid!

Terrible customer service. I run a mixture of E85 and 93 to get E40. The fat guy at the register got mad that I had to come in to pay twice, once for each fuel. His comments were "oh, you're one of those" and proceed to tell me that I should just run 93 or straight E85. He also started complaining about how someone came in a couple days ago and filled a 5 gallon container with E85. Like dude, do you not want people buying your product?

Always one of the lowest gas prices in town. This is NOT a convenience store, just Gas Up and Go.
