  • Vehicle tips

    • According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
    • The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
    • Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
    • Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
    • Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
    • A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
    • Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
    • Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
    • Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
    • Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
    • Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
    • Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
    • Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
    • Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
    • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
    • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
    • Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
    • Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
    • Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
    • Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

  • I did not have an appointment scheduled the Friday afternoon I brought my truck in, but your staff was fantastic about going above and beyond to get my truck repaired so I could use it over the weekend. My other car was getting painted at Maaco, so I would not of had a vehicle to use if the work wasn't done that day. I realize that Fridays are probably incredibly busy for you all and the fact that your staff went the extra mile to help me so quickly means so much! I will recommend y'all to all my friends! You do a terrific job! God Bless! Sincerely, Joy Teston

  • General Auto always does quality repairs. I've never felt like I have been taken (work that was performed when it didn't need to be done) when dealing with this shop.
    -Jason Wiggins

  • Mike was very knowledgeable and I appreciate the time he took to explain the diagnostic process and what was needed to resolve the problem. Thanks!

    -Angelic Jones

  • Nice folks very knownledgable and honest!
    -Judy Toadvine

  • My experience with General Auto is always wonderful, although this time I felt like I was not taken care of by one of the team members. I believe his name is Mike. From the first phone call I made to have my vechicle looked at, to actually speaking to him in person was a complete turn off. I felt as if he was short with me and had no time for me as a coustomer. I was very uncomfortable and felt disrespected. If it wasn't for Rich and how he always takes care of us, I would reconsider doing any further business! Otherwise, aside from Mike, Rich and the rest of his team are always a pleasure. Thank you
    -Marilyn Millam

  • I really appreciate the service and the knowledge of the staff.
    -Jon Cagle

  • Better communication with the customer about what is going on would be nice, but other than that, excellent. We have recommended your shop to several people! Very happy with you. Keep up the good work.
    -Tim Randolph

  • I took a chance on going to a new shop because you assured me I would not have to leave my vehicle overnight. Not only am I pleased with the work done, you did indeed make the effort and returned it to me the same day. THANK YOU. I will be back, and recommend you to everyone.

    -Rw(Steve) Stephens

  • Appearance of your shop is not that important to me as to the quality of the individual who is performing the work under the hood. However; i know how most people think, and cleanliness to some is a first impression. I would suggest adding a gun range and a place where one could clean his firearms while waiting for service! Might not go over with some of your customers, but it would be funny.
    -Jon Cagle

  • I love the feedback and the persoanl touch you guys always provides to me and the family about our vehicles.
    -Donnell Fields

  • I refer a young man to your business, he is an employee of Publix Grocery Store, May the Lord continue to bless YOU and YOUR BUSINESS and grow it each day in a GOOD way:} God bless both YOU AND your staff and your FAMILIES Dee
    -Dorothy Odie

  • Your waiting area needs a little improvement. I have had three appointments in the last 5 months, and waited in that room- I didn't mind waiting- but the room could use a deep cleaning and maybe some new furniture. Having a TV and drink machine was very nice. Craig Smyth is a very positive person to deal with. We know we can trust him.
    -Anonymous

  • Thanks for your fast and friendly service. Doing business with you folks is a pleasure and a privilege. I shall look forward to bringing my car there in the future. And, I will recommend you to my friends. Ann Z

    -K Lynne Morris

  • Great job!
    -John Davies

  • I continue to bring my company vehicles as well as my personal vehicles to General Auto Repair. The reason I continue to bring them back is the great attention that my vehicles get. I know that the workmanship going into the vehicle is second to none. It's hard to find great, hardworking, honest companies today. It's especially hard to find knowledgeable, honest and reasonable mechanic shops that aren't trying to take you for a ride. General Auto Repair is both of these. That is why I continue to refer them to friends and family and why I am a repeat customer.
    -Aaron Mellick

  • Finding the right auto repair shop is like finding the right barber --- they know you and remember you and always take care of you. Especially when it comes to auto & A/C repair I like to find someone I can trust and stay with them (and refer many people to them) -- General Auto Repair (and Craig) have become my trusted contact for auto repair.

We've had major repair work done on our vehicles as well as minor maintenance. Rich is very honest. He tells us what our options are and what he thinks is the best decision when trying to decide what to do with our vehicles. I would never consider going anywhere else for vehicle maintenance.

    -Tom Moncello

  • I started taking my car here when I got a groupon. Service was always easy to schedule and it was done in a timely manner. When my car broke down it was also easy to schedule the time to have it fixed. When I asked questions, I wasn't told what to do, but given good info and could make the decision from there. The down side, it's not open on saturday and that makes it hard with my new schedule.
    -Abby Child

  • Very satisfied with service & repair work. Staff took time to answer questions. Only wish the price was cheaper. All in all a good experience with this repair shop.

    -Bob Lawton

  • I took my Toyota Camry to Rich while in Florida on vacation and with a difficult-to-diagnose intermittent vibration in the front of the car. Rich did not attempt any repairs until he had diagnosed the problem, and then his mechanics worked hard to get my car returned to me so I could avoid another day of rental charges. I am very pleased with the work they did, and would recommend them to anyone in the area needing auto service. Roy Hendrix

I have both my company vehicles and personal vehicles serviced here because I know that Rich and his crew are fair and honest. It may not always be the cheapest in town but I'll pay more for the quality, honesty and respect I get as a customer before going anywhere else!
    -Robert Martin

  • I have been with Rich for 30 years. He is very aware that I need my truck for my lawn service and will have it back to me asap. Last month I got in my truck at 8 in the morning and it was shaking like crazy. Spur of the moment call, he had it back to me by one. My vehicles are always repaired because he gets in and test drives and makes sure. And he has no problem with bringing it back if I am not satisfied. I only have 4 cars in my family and trust Rich and his mechanics with all of them. Sometimes in life you just have to trust somebody. Your mechanic would be a good person to trust.

    -Jose Mendez

  • I met Rich when I coached his son in little league. The son was great. He's playing college baseball now but the best thing was meeting Rich. He has taken care of all 4 of my cars for the last 13 years. He doesn't do anything half-ass and always has time to talk with you or go on a trial run. What is really nice if you call him in advance and drop your car off, he can have you back on the road with least amount of inconvenience. Since I have a lawn service it is important to me to not have my truck down for long. Finally if you get your vehicle back and are not happy, he will work on it till he gets it right.
    -Ray Dalfonso

  • I've been looking for a mechanic and tried General Auto Repair for a few things on my car and now feel comfortable with Rich to have my 2 cars fixed there. He is a nice man and will do what he can to help you out.

  • As always, Rich and the team at General Auto Repair were great! The service/turnaround was quick and Rich explained everything that was needed clearly. The cost was far cheaper than the dealership. I will definitely return and I will continue to refer anyone in need of car repair there!
    -Tracy Myers

  • I went to another shop and they said I needed 400 dollars worth of work. General Auto Repair told me what I needed and the price was 61 dollars for a repair I needed. Please do not hesistate to take your car to General Auto Repair. Great work for a fair price.
    -Ron Bell

  • Rich and his team at General Auto Repair are truly the friendliest, most honest and knowledgeable mechanics that I?ve come across in Central Florida. I?ve been trusting them to work on my cars for years, doing everything from a simple brake fix all the way to installing a new motor! I won?t go anywhere else!
    -Danette Kohan

  • I have used general auto for 10 years and will never go anywhere else.
    -Susie McMakin

  • Rich is extremely friendly, helpful, and honest. They do good work here and are good at following up. My friend/roommate had an issue with his brakes two weeks after I had a serious issue with my car and I referred him here. Rich looked up his car make and model and found that there was a recall and he didn't charge him for the information. He even printed out the information for him to take to the Jeep dealership. My roommate was able to go to the Jeep dealership and get his brakes fixed for free due to the recall. That was very honest and nice of Rich, other mechanics would try to make something up and get your money. Highly recommend this place! Will be taking my new car here from now on.
    -April Montallana

  • I didn't think they would find the problem but they found the problem quick.
    -John Martin

  • Work done for me at General Auto Repair is top notch. I have recommended them to all of my co-workers and we are nearly all taking our cars to Rich when we have issues. He has always been trustworthy and dependable.
    -Caleb Soileau

  • Always honest and quick! Thank you for taking care of my car especially in emergencies. Great staff.
    -Lory Reeves

  • I appreciate all that General Auto Repair has done for my "bad penny" '02 Altima. To quote several famous people, "I shall return." and "I'll be back".
    -Richard Smith

  • Great trustworthy service. It's the only place we take all of our vehicles for service.
    -Jim Becker

  • We found Rich and his staff by accident, while stuck and a nice man telling us to have the car towed to General Auto! He always took his vehicle to General Auto and they are honest! Well, that was a few years ago. Since then I can only say that we were so lucky to have found Rich and his staff! They are really honest, and never over charge you! With that first visit, they needed to replace the fuel pump and filter and that would have been bad enough! The gas line broke and Rich replaced it because he admitted he forgot it was a car from the north! He didn't have to do that! He could have just charged us! Not Rich at General Auto! Rich and his staff has gone above and beyond in times of need for us! He actually dropped me off at work. Then picked me up to get the car! He didn't have to do that. It was close, but still went out of his way to make the repair experience that much easier! So if your on the fence, please try General Auto! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Rich and your staff! Brian T.

    -Jeff L.

  • Very practical, great service, great follow through, great prices.
    -Brian

  • General Auto Repair has done outstanding work for me for years. I have brought a number of vehicles there and they always provide great service and a full explanation of what needs to be done and what I can wait on before going to the expense to fix it. They are efficient, timely, cost-effective, trustworthy, and super helpful. I brought my son's 15-year-old Tacoma in before he drove it cross country to ensure everything was working and ready for the trip. They went out of their way to work with my timing, the repairs/maintenance was what I expected, and they were super informative. I had family member's vehicle that had been neglected so I called General and they had the vehicle towed then repaired at a very reasonable rate. They took a difficult situation and handled it for me. I highly recommend them.
    -Leslie C.

  • Very professional and prices are always reasonable. From my first visit, I could tell that they would not be trying to take advantage of me and it shows that they invest in their loyal customers, I take both of my cars to get repairs and oil changes for three years. I have never had one complaint.
    -Caleb

  • Honest advice, fair prices, excellent service is what comes to mind regarding this shop. We have been customers for a couple of years and extremely happy with the work performed on our cars.
    -James S.

  • Let me just say this, finding a good honest mechanic is probably one of the most valuable things to have in life. Rich and the boys at general auto are exactly that. They do fantastic work with the most reasonable honest cost. I live over 35 miles away from the shop and wouldn't think twice driving there to have work done to my car. Do yourself a favor and don't waste any time taking your car anywhere else. I don't ever write reviews but I just had to this time!
    -Ryan

  • Skilled and honest mechanics who give good prices on general repairs and maintenance on my car. I'm easily a customer for life.
    -Jeff T.

    -Linda

  • I have been with Rich for 30 years. He is very aware that I need my truck for my lawn service and will have it back to me asap. Last month I got in my truck at 8 in the morning and it was shaking like crazy. Spur of the moment call, he had it back to me by one. My vehicles are always repaired because he gets in and test drives and makes sure. And he has no problem with bringing it back if I am not satisfied. I only have 4 cars in my family and trust Rich and his mechanics with all of them. Sometimes in life you just have to trust somebody. Your mechanic would be a good person to trust.
    -Ray

  • I have been going to General Auto for about 18 years and have always been treated with respect and honest evaluations. I have both my company vehicles and personal vehicles serviced here because I know that Rich and his crew are fair and honest. It may not always be the cheapest in town but I'll pay more for the quality, honesty and respect I get as a customer before going anywhere else!
    -Robert

  • Always friendly and helpful. No one I trust more with my car.
    -Janette

  • We have always had excellent repair service at General Auto and in a timely and convenient manner. Rich and his staff are professional and courteous. We highly recommend this auto repair shop.
