They charged me $1055.06 just to replace ignition coils and spark plugs in a 4 cylinder 2014 Hyundai Accent. $33.30 per spark plug and $133.23 per coil, totalling $666.12 for the parts alone.I had just moved to the area and was looking for a new mechanic when my car needed urgent repair. I was desperate and came here after reading all of the good reviews, but that was a big mistake. I voiced my concerns and told them I feel ripped off, but they refused to budge at all on the bill.Maybe this place is good for rich people with fancy cars, but if you are a regular person like me then do yourself a huge favor and stay away from Altamonte Springs Automotive. If it seems too good to be true then it most likely is.

They fit me in quickly for a diagnostic when my car was having trouble. It ended up needing some repairs (coolant leak/hoses), and they scheduled that quickly too. Really great customer service, they answered all my questions and listened to concerns. The price was fair, and the quality of work was great. I will take my vehicle here from now on.

Do Not Go Here!! (Especially If Your A Woman)These guys will rip you off with no remorse. They charged me almost $700 for a $250 repair. I took my car because it was making a really annoying squeeky noise. They said just to check it would be 150. I said okay because when I brought my car here before they diagnostic fee was included in the price of the repair. But it wasnt until after the repair was done I was told that no its not included. Apparently they are now Under New Managment. At first they tried to charge me almost 1400!!!!!!!!!! saying I needed new tires and new this and that. I asked how much will it cost just to make the noise stop. it was around $680-$690. I paid it but had to come back later that day because my car started smoking. When I called and told them they TRIED TO ACT LIKE THIS WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM!!! After a long phone call I brought the car back and they fixed the problem. Here we are 4 months later and my Brother gets home from deployment i ask him to look at my car ( hes also a mechanic) and told me I got completely ripped off he said I paid $700 for a loose belt and a piece of pcv pipe. I asked if it was hard to get to maybe they labor was what was so expensive. Nope it was an extremely easy job that should have cost no more than 250 bucks. I want to cry so bad right now because I had to put that on my credit card and Im going to be paying it off for a while. I wouldnt even recommend this place to my worst enemy.Shame on you

Friendly staff! All of them are great! I highly recommend Altamonte Springs Automotive. They fixed my Porsche and had it running like new. Mark took the time to inspect my vehicle and tell me exactly what needed to be fixed. I felt safe and confident that they were not just telling me things to take my money.

I dont have the words to accurately describe the level of service that I just received from Altamonte springs automotive. I read the reviews before I went there, and they ring true.I got to meet the famous Mark who is named in almost every post. Stand-up guy. More so, I interacted with Mike for pretty much my entire experience, and he spent quite a bit of time with me going through what was wrong and telling me how it can be fixed, without any concern for how much money they can make from the shop, but the most cost-effective way for me to pay for it and have a safe drivable vehicle. There arent enough thanks in the world for me to give to him. Monica the receptionist was very welcoming as well as accommodating. Thank you Monica.As of today I dont know another mechanic. I know one place and one place only. If its within driving distance and makes sense, I will road trip to Altamonte springs automotive to get my repairs done. I have already gotten them one new customer aside from myself, they just dont know it yet, but they will be seeing this person very soon.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I had a very positive experience with this business, I brought my vehicle in for an unusual issue and it was promptly addressed. I would say a very positive experience with all my interactions with the staff over the phone and in person. The were very friendly towards me. The service was priced fair and I would definitely recommend!

These guys are great. Oil change in an hour included a check of my car, recommended new wipers (I knew mine were damaged), an air filter, and they diagnosed loud bump sounds I asked about as being hardened tires (they are old), filled them to correct pressure, and told me that for my driving habits getting new ones would be purely optional, not necessary. (Im very happy I found you guys again, after your recent move!)

Review №15

Amazing service! I felt truly taken care of. Mark is very informative and fixed my car in no time! The prices are very reasonable and I would recommend his service to anyone. I originally brought my car to a chevy dealership and not only did they misdiagnose, they also tried charging me thousands of dollars for something that was a simple repair. I am thankful that I stumbled upon Altamonte Automotive and will be returning for any future car repairs I may need!

Im a new Florida resident and was in need of a new mechanic. The service I received was great and pricing was very fair. Mark is friendly and very efficient. He was able to give me a ride to and from the shop. This was much appreciated. Glad I found quality shop so close to my new home.

Great service!! Needed a new alternator and serpentine belt, no problem. Mark was friendly and able to get it done quickly. He also gave me written estimates on other things I should have done but not anything critical. Good to know. I will recommend for sure.

After asking neighbors friends and Google for a good mechanic in the Altamonte area this one came up every review was a five star rating except for one and that one there would have made a difference. Mark owner answer the phone I explain my problem he said bring it in within 20 minutes he told me what was going on and gave me a price and how long I would need to leave the car at that time I did not have a way back to my house which was not far and he told me to bring it in before he closed and he would give me a ride home. He told me when my car would be ready what the price would be Etc. Of course when I called when he told me it would be ready it was ready when I got there he thoroughly explain to me the problem and what it took to repair it I also had a headlight out just the bulb and had one in the car but forgot to ask him to put it in but when I got my car I had forgotten to say something to him he told me he took care of it and even gave me a great discount well I guess I found my mechanic now close to my home which makes all the difference. Mark was very knowledgeable and I was quite impressed! He also checked several other things for me and let me know what would be needing work soon these guys went above and beyond and I thank you very much! Rarely do I give a 5-star rating since no one is perfect but this guy Mark he deserved it!

Had my Hummer H3 towed from Millenia to Mark because I wont take my cars to anyone else. He has the state of the art equipment and the expertise and was able to diagnose, recommend and repair accurately and at a fair price. Recommended.

I have never had a good experience at a mechanic, until I came here. Mark is an awesome guy, and the tech that did the work is knowledgeable and helpful. They explained what they found that was wrong with the car, what it did, and why it needed to be fixed. The repair was quick and the pricing was fair. I will bring my car here in the future and reccomend them highly to anyone in the area!

Hard to find a good auto mechanic these days. Altamonte Springs Automotive was referred to me when other auto mechanic places had failed. Mark found the problem and fixed it quickly. He even spent his time going to the junkyard to find a specific part needed. He was conscientious about keeping the cost of the repairs down. I will continue to use Altamonte Springs Automotive for all my needed repairs.

Mark and his crew are very honest and reasonable. Had a problem with my Volvo and he fixed it. I needed to get a new alternator because it was bad. It was making a lot of noise and getting hot. But my car still kept stalling in the mist of driving. Brought it back and they found the problem fixed it at no extra charge. Thank you !!!!! 😁

Mark has done a wonderful job of keeping my truck with 263,000 miles running like new. He was highly recommended by the transmission shop next door and has always been fair and honest beyond reproach in his dealings with me. Mark is very knowledgable, diligent and his workmanship is first rate. Its rare to find this in an automotive shop today.

Mr. Linn is an excellent mechanic and an EVEN MORE AWESOME guy all the way around. He helped me out when he didnt have to, and he didnt even make me feel bad when I realized I couldnt fix it myself. Instead he just rolled me right in, fixed it, and sent me on home WITHOUT HURTING MY WALLET TOO BAD EITHER! If you need some work done I SUGGEST YOU GO SEE HIM!!!

Review №35

Ive been going to Mark since 2011. He is the only person I take my vehicles to. He fixed our transmission in our truck and its been solid for 3 years. He always finds a way squeeze us in when we need our vehicles looked at. He stands by his work. The one time I took my car to a different shop to fix (Meineke) because I had moved and didnt want to drive an hour to Altamonte, they basically broke my car. After having it towed to Mark and him diagnosing the engine shot, he let me keep my car in his parking lot for a couple days til I got it sold. Before I buy a new car, Im taking it to Mark to inspect it first!

Mr. Linn has helped me tremendously every time I bring my car to Altamonte Springs Automotive. He provides stellar customer service, is incredibly knowledgeable, and obviously has many resources at his disposal. I had been referred to countless disappointing mechanics before coming to his maintenance shop. Mr. Linn helped me with every small problem I thought I might have had with my 2001 VW Beetle. I will easily continue to bring my cars to his shop.

Ive been here a few times to fix my F150. Mark has always been honest and upfront. I usually fix my own truck, but when its in need of a real mechanic, I goto Altamonte Springs Automotive, and let Mark handle it. His prices are fair , and they do good work. Ive been to Mullinax Ford and other dealerships that cost outrageous prices wich is unfair, dont they sell cars? Why am I to pay for the dealerships overhead cost. Take your vehichle to Mark. It will be done right the first time and a fair price.

Review №44

Mark is very knowledgeable about cars and very fair in his rates. As an independent shop owner, he keeps his overhead low and passes on the savings to you. Since moving to Orlando, he has been our go-to mechanic, and we recommend him, especially for Volvos and Saabs.
