Reviews

Krystal is a local shop with excellent service! Easy to work with and top notch Mechanics. We only take our vehicles to them! Highly recommended!

Thank you so much Mr Geisel! We appreciate you bringing in your Chevy 2500. I’m so glad we were able to get that condenser and compressor fixed for you!

Thank you for your review Mr Burgos!

Huge shoutout to the team at Krystal Automotive! If you are tired of big chains or shops that try to upsell you on things you don't need, bring your vehicle here. They were respectful of my time and budget, explained the problem clearly, and were refreshingly transparent about what repairs made sense for them to tackle and what didn't. They took fantastic care of my car at a very fair price. It feels great to have a reliable, honest neighborhood mechanic I can count on.

Thank you for your review, Shawn. We are glad that we were able to help with your Hyundai Sonata. We will be here when you need us again.

Sent my daughter for her first time having to pay for her own maintenance on her own car - everyone was friendly and helpful and she felt very welcome.

Ginger, Thank you for such an amazing review. It was our pleasure serving Sofia. She is a wonderful young lady. We look forward to continue working with your family in the future when we are needed.

Excellent service - quick turn around of vehicle - very accommodating

Thank you for your review Richard. It's been a pleasure working with you and your family.

- Krystal Automotive

The staff is friendly and nice, priced competitively, but more importantly, I think they take pride in their work and don't take shortcuts

I’m really happy with my experience with Krystal Automotive. They got me in quickly, took care of all my vehicle needs with reasonable pricing and quality work. I would highly recommend Alexis and her team at Krystal Automotive.

Debbie, thank you for such an amazing review! It was our pleasure servicing your Kia Telluride!

Took my friends 08 corvette in for tires improperly jacked it up and broke abs wires Lugs were over torqued Very unprofessional. Stay away over priced Lexi is a liar, and will act nice to just manipulate the story in my opinion

Thank you Charles! It was our pleasure changing out the tires on the Vette!

- Krystal Automotive

They was very nice and polite. Took my car in diagnostic. Dont take no tome at all. They sent me a quote . It was reasonable for the job. But it was one of those jobs I could do. So im going to. The only issue I have is that. When you go to a mechanic. For this service. You either dont get charge for diagnostic or you get a discount on it when you give them the work. Listen I use to run a garage. I under stand your paying for their time to find the issue. But when you give the work. Thats different uneven agree with a hearty discount on just the diagnostic. Other then that. They are good people very knowledgeable in automotive.

Thank you for your review, Ray. It was a pleasure meeting you.

- Krystal Automotive

Service was great. Would preferred not to have to pay the check up part seeing that I did the tire change with you but it is what it is.

Thank you for your review, Maritza. It was a pleasure serving you.

The repairs on my son's car ended up costing a little more than expected, but the team worked hard to help us and made sure the job was done right. I appreciated their honesty, effort, and willingness to stick with the problem until it was resolved. Thank you for taking care of us.

Brandon! Thank you for your review! It was our pleasure repairing your son’s jeep. He’s a great kid and we look forward to seeing you both again in the future!

I am extremely disappointed! I brought my Prius in that was overheating and running rough, you told me it had a blown head gasket and was going to probably be $10,000 to fix because it needed a new engine. I sold the car the next day, today I got a message from the guy I sold it to, he changed the gasket and water pump and it’s running great and he couldn’t be happier! No I have to find another vehicle, I wanted this car to last me another 150k miles and it probably would have with a very inexpensive fix! It is so difficult to find a mechanic these days that is trustworthy! Everyone is so money hungry and dishonest!

Lance, I am so sorry to hear this. I remember how important it was to you for this vehicle to last another 100k miles, and I completely understand why you're upset. I would really like the opportunity to review what happened and speak with you personally. Please give me a call at 352-687-9900 when you have a chance so we can discuss this further. - Lex

My car was completely undrivable and I almost lost my method of income from Uber and Lyft but Krystal Automotive understood how important it was to make it back on top! My car drives amazing now! 🥳 The customer service is very welcoming, very transparent and overall Ive had an amazing experience 👌🏾! I feel very confident as a customer 😀

Kimberly! I'm crying! You are such an amazing friend and client. I will never forget our first phone conversation before you ever stepped foot into our shop. We are always happy to see you and your trailblazer.

- Krystal Automotive

Staff was very nice and personable. You can tell they genuinely care about helping you and don't just see you as a dollar sign.

Mr Trotman, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure meeting you and fixing the tailgate operation on your Dodge Ram 1500!

- Krystal Automotive

First time visiting and couldn’t recommend it more! Super friendly staff and super fast. 10/10.

Thank you for your review, Bri. We are so glad we were able to upgrade the tires on your Kia K4!!

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

Amanda, Thank you for your review!! It’s always a pleasure serving you.

- Krystal Automotive

I do not recommend, overpriced. Even basic repairs are pricey. I only had an AC low pressure switch replaced and had an AC recharge. It costed me nearly $400, which most of it was labor (which it probably took them 30 minutes to an hour to do the job) to unplug and unscrew the switch then recharge the AC, would've done it myself but I am not certified to handle freon. I just wanted it done so freon is not leaking into the environment. They also quoted me $120 for an inspection initially then changed it to $180 when I went to pick up my vehicle. Was quoted multiple times and prices changed every time, not very consistent with prices. I would recommend going to larger shops (not dealerships unless you have a warranty claim) that don't charge as much.

Jacob, we’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the cost of your repair. We understand that automotive repairs can be expensive, especially A/C work involving refrigerant, specialized equipment, and proper handling procedures. We do want to clarify that our pricing is based on the complete service being performed, not simply the amount of time it takes to replace an individual component. Our team communicated the recommended work and pricing before completing the repair, and the vehicle was repaired as requested. We respect that every customer has the right to choose the repair facility that best fits their needs and budget. We appreciate the opportunity to have serviced your vehicle and wish you the best moving forward. If you have any other concerns, we would like to speak with you directly. 352-687-9900.

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.

- Krystal Automotive

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.

- Krystal Automotive

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.

- Krystal Automotive

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.

- Krystal Automotive

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!

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!

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!

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.
