tried to charge me $150 before telling me what's wrong with my car only to tell me what I actually needed when I decided to not pay and leave. I would've gotten the work done had they been upfront with me from the get go. the receptionist kept "accidentally" overcharging people's cards too. very dishonest and shady people, that's how they keep their business running I guess. save your money and visit 10th street garage or plenty other mechanics who not only charge $50 for a diagnose but are efficient with their job too.

We are sorry you feel this way. In our shop, we are going to tell you all the things that need to be done on your car so you can be safer, make intelligent decisions, and your car will last longer. We don't take shortcuts here and our pricing reflects our extra value, care, and nationwide warranty. Best wishes finding what you need.

My car broke down just outside of Ocala in the first leg of my vacation journey. First the A/C then the engine went; my dog and I were in dire straights on a super hot day in August. The tow truck driver took us to the best repair shop he knew and I have to agree ! They were dog friendly and let me bring my pup into the air conditioned waiting room while they checked the car over. They put me on priority and I got my car back the next day. In the mean time they drove us to a dog friendly hotel and then picked me up the next day. I’d say above and beyond service. My car is working beautifully and A/C is blowing super cold air. Thank you Chuck & Shelley!

Thank you, Susan, for allowing us to turn those lemons you were handed into lemonade. :-) We are so glad we could take good care of you and your pup. Safe travels, stay healthy, and come back to visit us any time you're coming through Ocala. :-)

Changing my review to reflect how much Pals helped me out. I had a problem with a repair and had to pay to get it redone. Pals went out of their way to make sure I got reimbursed for it. If you have an emergency, remember to use the TechNet service, it’s very helpful!

We are so sorry this happened, Erika. We have left messages for you, asking what happened to your car. All of the repairs that Pals provided are covered by our 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty. We apologize for any problem that resulted from service at our shop. Hopefully, you will soon respond to Chuck’s messages. Thank you for allowing us to quickly respond to the issue.

Pals Auto Care was courteous and thorough right out the gate. I was stranded with two kids and a truckload of food and supplies for camping when my engine failed. I looked online, saw amazing reviews, and decided to drive my bucking car into the lot. From the moment we pulled in, they were extremely kind and understood my situation and looked at my car right away. Chuck and his wife went above and beyond to help me. They even offered to drive us up the street so I could feed my kids breakfast. I was very pleased with the level of service and would highly recommend this auto care shop for any and all services. I’m from Orlando and wouldn’t think twice to use them!!

Thank you so much for sharing your positive customer service experience with us. It's greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you at the next service. :-)

I went in to get my mothers AC serviced. They found the problem, cooling fans that stopped working. I was told that it would be $149.00 for a estimate and diagnosis of problem. I was given a estimate $1600.00 to complete repairs. A new fan was quoted at $948.00. This price was roughly 300% higher than ordering the part myself. I refused to pay this price and did not receive the repairs. I ordered the part and repaired the vehicle myself in 2 hours. I was shocked to receive a bill for $172.00 for a estimate instead of the quoted $149.00. Being in the service business for 14 years I prided myself on being honest. I left Pals thinking “WOW!!! They are a bunch of rip offs!”. I will by default warn anyone who asks where they should get their car fixed not to go to Pals.

Hi, Jonathan. We are sorry you feel this way about our pricing. You had been working on the car before it came into our shop. The car has a lot of new parts, but the new parts didn’t fix the problem. You paid for a diagnostic that is free when you let us repair the problem. The vehicle required a cooling fan assembly with an evac and recharge to fix the problem. The repair requires 5 hours of labor with the fan assembly, removal of the radiator to accommodate the removal of the fans, reassembly, and refill of coolant and refrigerant. Our cost for the fan assembly was over $400.00. So yes, taking everything into account, the bill would have been $1425.00 to do the job. Also, we back our work with a nationwide warranty. Of course, you can always do a job for less if you do it yourself. But when you put parts on a car that don’t fix the problem, it becomes much more expensive. We wish you well and safe travels with your mother's car.
