I went to the Kia dealership first and they were trying to charge me $ 800 just IN PARTS. My car needed a lot of work done and was hardly drivable. Almond automotive was the most reasonable about the cost of parts and labor. They even called and told me I only needed two coils (instead of 4, like the Kia dealership told me I needed). That just goes to show me Almond is honest! I will be taking my car here from now on. Seriously recommend. Thanks guys, you’re great!

I had some car trouble while on a recent road trip to Tampa, and found myself at Almond’s Automotive looking for help. We showed up unexpectedly without any appointment while they were clearly quite busy, but they still began to help us almost immediately. They gave the car a quick diagnosis as soon as we explained our troubles, ordered the replacement hose from a nearby dealership after identifying what was needed, and squeezed the repair between their existing schedule so we wouldn’t be stalled there all day and could continue our trip. As we were essentially stuck there without options, we wouldn’t have had much choice but to go with whatever amount they quoted us, but they still gave us a very reasonable price for both parts and labor.
Combine that with the very friendly and polite way in which they handled everything, and Almond’s made for a bright spot in an otherwise bothersome bit of car trouble.

Honest, friendly, fair prices, and open late! Was warned by the man at the desk that it could be very expensive and was expecting a very high price job when he called. However he said «you dodged a bullet» it was something much less complicated. And the total was under $ 100.00. I was very thankful for this. The shop is open till 11pm for great convenience. This shop is shared together with the marathon gas station. It’s not your typical gas station with cigarettes, sodas, beer, and candy. It’s just gas pumps the shop waiting room area is very clean and I definitely recommend this mechanic shop.

Probably one of the most friendliest mechanics I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend this place! I came in with my dad because he was really nervous about me moving to Gainesville. They made him feel better about driving my mazda and they were just very easy to talk to.

I must say that I was quite skeptical of all the positive reviews. You know the old saying «If it sounds too good to be true…». But, I was pleasantly surprised. I went there expecting to pay over $ 100 for a tune-​up, and they fixed the problem for just a few dollars (air filter). I would say that the only limitation is that they are a small ’boutique’ sort of business (which is not necessarily a bad thing), so, their work force and garage space is limited, if you need something done right away. But, bottom line, they keep their overhead and advertising low, and pass the savings on to the customer…

This garage is located near U of F and could easily rip off the college kids but they don’t. They took great care of my old Chevy Blazer and are probably the best team of mechanics I’ve been to. These dudes should get a big bonus…

We no longer live in town, and had to bring our car back here because no one in our town was giving us quotes worthy of consideration. With our sunroof broken open, we got quotes from some shops saying «it’ll be up to $ 1000 and might not get it fixed». Almond’s called us back within two hours of drop off, and was able to close our sunroof for FORTY FIVE DOLLARS. We fully expected to pay $ 500 or more, and they had every chance to take every penny we had. They were honest and ethical, and made the 3 hour trip to come back to Gainesville worthwhile.
If you need a mechanic, GO TO ALMOND’S.

Let me just say that the folks are nice but don’t seem like very competent mechanics. I know enough to do a lot of work on my cars, but don’t want to mess with it. Based on reviews here, I’ve taken two vehicles there. Both times what SHOULD have been a simple fix turned into a fiasco. Need to tighten those bolts and screws, guys. At least the gas is cheap.

I’m a terribly poor college student so when the brakes in my car started to give out I had a panic attack about how much it was going to cost me especially when my initial estimate Firestone was close to $ 300. I called Almond’s and asked for a second opinion they saw me that very day and they fixed my brakes the same day for almost half the price. Not only that the service from the gentlemen there was unbelievable, I felt like I was getting advice from my dad or an uncle instead of being taken advantage of for not knowing anything about cars. Absolutely love this place and will use here for as long as I’m living in Gainesville.

the guy there saved me more than 100 bucks! I was told to do transmission fluid flush in other service store. But the staff here suggested just regular change after looking at my transmission fluid. That saved me more than 100 bucks and did make my Mazda transmission operates better!

Almond’s Automotive is awesome. I had my car towed there with a dead battery and a hood latch that the Hyundai dealer had previously told me was broken. I wasn’t able to open the hood at all to change the battery. Almond’s was able to pop the hood, they changed out my battery and told me the hood latch wasn’t broken at all, there was just a piece a plastic blocking the release. The Hyundai dealer wanted to charge me $ 200 to replace the latch! My car was fixed very quickly, they did a great job and only charged me for the battery replacement. I highly recommend this place, I’ll never go to the dealer again!

They aren’t fast, but they are wonderful. And that’s what matters most in the end.
I took my car in for a new battery and they checked her from top to bottom while I was there. I was already planning on getting a new car, so they made sure I knew all the issues my previous one had before trying to sell — made it at lot easier to tell when a dealership was trying to yank my chain on the value. That was completely unexpected and a huge favor. I will come here from now on!

Honest, good service. Better than average pricing. There is a reason these guys have been around for as long as they have.

These guys are the ONLY place that my wife and I will take out vehicles to get work done. My office has a fleet of trucks and they all go to Cityline (AKA Marathon Gas and Auto Repair). There has been numerous times that I have brought a vehicle to them expecting to pay alot for a major repair and walked out paying a fraction of the price for a permanent fix that other mechanics would never have informed you about.

This used to be city line Citgo, but just changed to Marathon recently. I assume it is the same owners as before.
This is a WONDERFUL place to have work on your car done. They are very reasonably priced and always busy with their repair business. If you don’t have a mechanic in town that you know or like, this is recommended. I found them originally in the mechanic files on
, which is the best review site I know for auto mechanics.
