First time visiting and couldn’t recommend it more! Super friendly staff and super fast. 10/10.
I moved here from New Jersey within the past year and I have used Krystal automotive a few times now and I cannot say enough great things about this shop! The owner herself runs the office, she’s honest, fair priced, super friendly and stands by her work and words which is rare😊I highly recommended this establishment for any automotive needs!!! They also offer alignments now as well
I have been using Krystal Automotive for years. Even though they have changed owners twice since, Spencer, the original owner they carry on his tradition of delivering outstanding and honest service. They are honest and dependable.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Mr Whitler. It was a pleasure serving you & your caravan this week.
They are crooks, dropped my running truck off to them go back and pay them $837. They give me the keys and the truck is no longer running then they call the cops bad business. I wouldn’t recommend no one to them.
We’re sorry you feel this way, however, this review does not accurately represent the situation. Law enforcement was only contacted after the situation escalated to the point that we felt it was necessary to protect our team and maintain a safe environment at our business.
Quick excellent thorough service and saved me money on parts I didn’t need
Thank you for your review Kyle!! It was a pleasure serving you and we can’t wait to see you again in the future.
Prompt, professional and expert service
Gary, we apologize that we were out of your price range. I’m so happy the shop up the street was able to accommodate you.
Awesome service, diagnostic with pictures helps a lot for honesty services, very happy taking my car to Kristal Automotive .
Jeffre, Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure meeting you!
I have a 2010 GMC 2500 HD (original owner) that required diagnostic service for warning lights. I located Krystal Automotive in Ocala FL while researching their website which had an excellent write-up on diagnosing the GMC Duramax Diesel engine with the Allison transmission. Alexis and Wynona were great in getting my appointment scheduled for a drop-off diagnostic. They put me in contact with Charlie, and he made the extra effort to review my past service history for my truck and what occurred with the check engine light warnings (multiple). My assumptions of potential fuel system and specifically fuel sensor issues were totally unwarranted to my relief with a reset of the computer. Charlie’s vehicle inspection and diagnostics work was prompt, and I had the vehicle back in the same day. I sincerely appreciated the communication, responsiveness, and the professionalism from the entire staff of Krystal Automotive. Thank you!
Randy! It was a pleasure meeting and serving you. Thank you for such an amazing review. Charlie pays amazing attention to detail and we are proud to have him a part of our team. We are here when you need us again!
Came in for an oil change on a Mercedes, which we typically have handled at the dealership in Gville (a long and tedious round trip from The Shores where we live). This service is a little more convoluted than a typical oil change, and the tech, Charlie @ Krystal, handled it with precision and care. He realized I wanted the car handled with kid gloves, and he didn't let my wife or myself down. He was meticulous in the service, even checking references and torquing the drain plug to spec. Before he lowered the car from the lift, after he inspected it mechanically, he called me over to look at something in the undercarriage of our SUV that might be a potential, somewhat serious issue in the future, to plan on repairing before it became worse. All in all, it was a good experience, and I would say we experienced peace of mind. It was our first visit with Krystal Auto, and it certainly will not be our last. The shop is located somewhat off Maricamp, after it's long entrance drive, but do not be deterred, just passed the car wash is Krystal's fully equipped shop. Everyone at the shop was helpful, professional, and amiable.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It truly means so much to our entire team, especially knowing that your first experience with Krystal Automotive gave you and your wife peace of mind. We are incredibly proud to have Charlie on our team, and your kind words about the care, precision, and attention he gave your Mercedes are exactly what we strive for with every vehicle that comes into our shop. We believe the little details matter, and we never want our customers to feel rushed or left in the dark about the condition of their vehicle. We also appreciate you mentioning our tucked away location! We may be a little hidden back here, but we promise we’re worth the drive past the car wash! 😊 Thank you for trusting us with your Mercedes and for giving a local shop the opportunity to earn your business. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Krystal Automotive family now, and we look forward to taking care of you and your wife for many years to come!
Great customer service! They can get the job done. Thank you.
Thank you for your review. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Job well done! The place is modest and honest.
John, Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure servicing your Acura RDX! We are happy that you were pleased with our service. We look forward to serving you in the future.
This is my 2nd appointment in 2026 and there aren't enough stars in the world to share how pleased I am with the customer service and maintenance of my vehicle. I went in for a transmission maintenance and my FORD Explorer SUV is running like new! The crew is quick and efficient and the hospitality is amazing. I will not take my car anywhere else!
Thank you for such an amazing review, Sabrina. You've been an absolute pleasure to serve.
Thank you for your review Carl, but I don't have you in my system as a customer. Please call me (Lexy) if you need any help or would like to bring anything to my attention. We are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you.
Krystal Automotive communicated with me on the repairs being done to my car. Once the part arrived from Foed. Repairs were done in a timely manner. Thank you the work preformed.
Krystal Automotive did a great job on our Lincoln Navigator. They rotated and balanced the tires, completed an alignment, and had us back on the road quickly. Everyone was friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with your Lincoln Navigator. Our team works hard to provide quality service and get our customers back on the road as quickly as possible, so it's great to know the tire rotation, balance, and alignment met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and your recommendation. Thank you for choosing Krystal Automotive—we look forward to seeing you again for your future service needs!
It was a great experience working with Krystal Automotive. They replaced the starter on my Honda CRV in a timely manner and at a fair price. I would highly recommend. They don't have a glitzy shop, just good honest work with no attempt at upselling.
Thank you for your kind review Joanne. It was a pleasure serving you.
I happened to find this shop during a recent google search for reputable and honest auto repair facilities where I could take my minivan for service for a check engine light issue. First off, they are an unashamed outspoken Christian business. That information is clearly visible on their facebook page. I love that. I am very pleased with the services and care I received here. Alexis answered my many questions to ensure I understood everything. She was able to get me in right away and the work was completed very quickly. While auto repairs are never cheap, the cost was much less at Krystal than what it would have been at most other shops, where you also wouldn't be given the same kind of personal attention and care as I received. I highly recommend Krystal Automotive.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It truly means the world to us. We're honored that you chose Krystal Automotive and even more grateful that you felt cared for throughout the process. We know automotive repairs can feel overwhelming, so taking the time to answer questions and make sure our customers understand what's going on with their vehicles is something we believe is important. Thank you also for recognizing our faith. Our relationship with Christ is the foundation of how we strive to treat every customer, with honesty, integrity, compassion, and genuine care. We're so glad we could get your minivan back on the road quickly and help save you money along the way. Thank you for trusting us with your vehicle and for recommending us to others. We look forward to serving you for many years to come. God bless!

Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure meeting and serving you today. Safe Travels on your next adventure!
I brought my kia soul to Krystals with an oil leak and check engine light. The techs replaced the oil pressure sensor AND did testing on the catalytic converter, O2 sensor. They went above and beyond to test and explain what my options are. I highly recommend Krystal Automotive!
Thank you for this amazing review, Kristine. It's always a pleasure seeing you in our shop. We look forward to serving you for many more years to come.

Krystal Automotive did a great job on my truck—they installed a 2-inch leveling kit and everything looks perfect. The work was done quickly, and you can tell they know what they’re doing. They’re reliable, efficient, and I’d definitely recommend them.
Thank you for taking the time to share this, Colton. We’re glad you’re happy with how the leveling kit turned out and that everything came together just right. That’s exactly the goal every time, do the job correctly, do it efficiently, and make sure it looks as good as it performs. We appreciate your trust in us and your recommendation, it means a lot to our team. If you ever need anything down the road, whether it’s maintenance or anything else with your truck, we’re here to help.
Thank you for your review.
Our check engine light was on when we made an appointment with Krystal’s. We dropped our VW Jetta off and within no time Krystal’s found the issues and repaired it… When we picked the car up -My wife said the car never ran so good. I drove the car and I said the same. Car never ran so good… Krystal’s did what no other service center could. We recommend Krystal’s and give it a five star rating… Thank You

I have to say hands-down this is the best mechanic shop I’ve ever been to in my life. Most honest, respectful, fast turnaround and definitely professional will definitely recommend to more members of the community as long as this shop is in business they have my business.
Thank you so much for your kind words, this truly means a lot to our team. We take a lot of pride in being honest, respectful, and making sure every vehicle is taken care of the right way, so it is great to hear that reflected in your experience. We also know how important a quick turnaround is, and we always do our best to get you back on the road without cutting corners. Your recommendation to the community means everything to a small, family owned shop like ours. We appreciate your trust and look forward to taking care of you for years to come.
I brought my Gen4 Prius here for its 90K checkup. Price came in about half what I've heard people are charged at the dealership. It's not that they charge bargain-basement rates, it's that you don't have to deal with the upsell. They do what's necessary and they get it done fast. I feel like I can trust the folks at Krystal. Plus, they are nice. If you're the sort of person who would rather go to the dentist than the dealership, call em. The lady you speak with on the phone, and who you will deal with face-to-face, is the owner (it's a husband-and-wife team). She is as nice, sweet and professional as you could possibly want. This is a small business that follows the Golden Rule, and their pride of ownership shows.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, it truly means more than you know. We are honored you trusted us with your Gen 4 Prius and your 90K service. Our goal is always to focus on what your vehicle actually needs, without the pressure or upsell, and to get you back on the road quickly and confidently. Your kind words about the experience, from the first phone call to the service itself, really speak to what we strive for every day. We believe in treating people the way we would want to be treated, and it means a lot to know that came through. We appreciate your support of our small, family owned business and look forward to being here whenever you need us.
This shop is the best Lexi and her team are very professional and I recommend them for any car needs.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It means a lot to know you trust Lexi and the team with your vehicle. We are always here whenever you need us and look forward to taking care of you again in the future.
From the moment I made contact with Lexie at Krystal Automotive, I had a PEACE that I made the right choice for my car needs. Jim had made contact with me about issues and we resolved the matter. Thanks to Lexie and Jim for your professionalism and great attention to detail. May GOD'S BLESSING be upon you and all you touch... R.I.C.
Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. It truly means a lot to us. We are grateful you trusted Krystal Automotive with your vehicle and we are so glad you felt that sense of peace from the start. I will be sure to share your kind words with Jim as well. We appreciate your support and your prayers more than you know. May God bless you as well, and we look forward to being here whenever you need us. Thank you again for choosing Krystal Automotive.
I had such a great experience with Christian and Alexis! I brought my truck in for an oil change and to have electrical running boards installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Everything came out perfect and the work looks amazing. Alexis was incredibly helpful and informative throughout the whole process. She took the time to explain everything and made sure I understood everything that was being done. You can really tell they care about their customers and take pride in their work. They even went above and beyond to work me in quickly, which I really appreciated. It’s hard to find honest, reliable service like this. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to anyone who needs work done on their vehicle! ⭐️ Highly recommend supporting their business!
Evie, thank you so much for the thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to both Christian and me. We are so glad you trusted us with your truck. The running boards turned out great and we’re happy to hear you’re pleased with how everything came together. Our goal is always to make sure our customers feel informed and confident about the work being done, so I’m really glad the explanations and updates were helpful along the way. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for supporting our family business. We look forward to seeing you again whenever your truck needs anything in the future.
Krystal Automotive is hands down one of the best auto shops around. The owner truly cares about her customers and it shows in everything they do. She takes the time to explain what’s going on with your vehicle, makes sure you understand your options, and always treats people fairly. It’s rare to find a shop that is this honest, professional, and customer focused. If you’re looking for a trustworthy place to bring your vehicle, I highly recommend Krystal Automotive.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. It truly means a lot to us.

We’re grateful you trusted Krystal Automotive with your vehicle and we’re always here whenever you need us. Thank you again for your support.
Jerry, thank you for the 5 star review, we truly appreciate it. It was a pleasure taking care of your Super Duty King Ranch. We’re glad we could get the new belt and coolant hoses replaced so you can stay on the road with confidence. Thank you for trusting us with your truck and for supporting our local, family owned shop. If you ever need anything down the road, we’re always here to help.
Thank you to Lexi and Jim who helped me with my tire that kept getting flat when Walmart said there was nothing wrong with it. They fixed it in twenty minutes and charged me nothing when Walmart auto shop had my car for hours and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Thank you guys so much
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. We’re really glad you stopped by and gave us the opportunity to take a look at it. A tire that keeps losing air can definitely be frustrating, especially after already spending time somewhere else trying to get answers. Jim was happy to jump in and get it taken care of quickly, and I’m grateful you trusted us with it. Sometimes it’s the small things that just need a fresh set of eyes. We truly appreciate your kind words and your support. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here to help.
First time using this Garage. Super easy to make an appointment. Super nice people. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be using this garage in the future.

I've never had a regular mechanic until now, i might just start hanging out at Krystal Automotive, just to visit with some amazing people. Service is, as always, awesome. Prices are great as well. Please visit Krystal Automotive for an all around great experience. You guys rock!!!!
Kari, this truly means so much to us. There is no greater compliment than earning the trust to be someone’s regular shop. That is something we never take lightly.

This place is great they are professional and fast. I had an issue with my A/C. They diagnosed it and it was fixed quickly:). They also had Coffe which is super important. Thank you Lexi!!!.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, it truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad we could get your A/C diagnosed and fixed quickly. Living here in Florida, a working A/C isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And of course, we’ll always have coffee ready for you. That part is non-negotiable around here. We appreciate you trusting us with your vehicle and look forward to helping you anytime you need us.
They charged $120 for a diagnosis, then $600.00 to replace the valve gasket. The engine lights came on the next day while I was driving to work. I called them and told hey wanted another $120 for diagnosis, but we declined since the previous work was covered by warranty. They refused to fix the issue and ended our business.
Took the car for repairs. We paid $600 to replace it the valve cover gasket. $120 was paid for the diagnostic . They also found and I agreed to it that axle components needed to be replaced and brakes. No problem with that. When I got the car and started driving it started shaking, turned off at every stop lights , etc. and the light came on the display and couldn’t drive the car any more. Just to mention ,before the car didn’t display any engine light on , this did not happened before. We called them again and they checked the car as a supposedly complimentary check , and this what thy sent us: Good morning, We have thoroughly checked over the vehicle and it is not running poorly due to any work performed by our shop. We have also ruled out the tires and axles as the cause. At this point, additional diagnostic time would be needed to further investigate the concern. Otherwise, the vehicle is ready for pick up at your convenience. I went to get the car , the car didn’t make it home. All lights came on, it was terrible. *****I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE **** God bless you! See less
I had taken my car to Krystal Automotive for the first time this week because they advertise working on Prius hybrids. It was for a second opinion on the braking system since my local shop could not find a problem and said the hybrid system is more complex. Lexi is wonderful to work with, very polite and detailed. They confirmed the brakes were not a problem and did not charge me as I had just paid for having the car diagnosed a week before. I think they may have fixed my passenger window too, since it now works fine. :) Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate you trusting Krystal Automotive for a second opinion, especially with a hybrid system like your Prius. We are glad we could confirm that the braking system was in good shape and provide you with peace of mind without unnecessary charges. It’s always our goal to be honest, thorough, and respectful of what our customers have already invested elsewhere. We’re also happy to hear about the passenger window, sometimes a little extra attention goes a long way. Thank you again for your kind words, we look forward to helping you anytime you need us.
