Fantastic shop, Im super happy I chose to take my car to Oscars Auto Center. I had all sorts of issues going on and every one has been resolved quickly! Friendly folks, great service, and 100% recommend to others!
My car broke down last week. The dealership said they couldnt look at it for a week so I decided to have it towed to Oscars Auto Center. Turned out to be a simple belt issue. They fixed it promptly and had me back on the road immediately at a reasonable price. Will be bringing the car back to Oscars should I have problems in the future. Thanks!
Oscar was super helpful in getting my RV’s serpentine belts fixed. I’m not from the area and it was the closest auto mechanic shop around and I’m glad we went there! Fast, super friendly and great prices. Def recommend!
Had a late night mishap with our tire and when no one else would or was Open Ocsar saved the day very happily, personable and professional. If you have a auto related mishap he is your go to guy. His other great reviews are legit so happy with the service he provided. Thanks again OscarSincerely Destinie and Chad Pearce🙂
He was very nice and super understanding! My car is up and running smoothly now thank you Oscar 💛 definitely recommend this shop hands to anyone
Oscar’s auto is a one stop do it all shop. Absolutely best prices in town guaranteed! Call around and ask and I bet their prices still beat their competitors! Took my vehicle in to get a cv axle replacement and took them less than two hours. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and great employees. If you need anything done I seriously recommend coming by Oscar’s Auto. There is no bs, they get the job done fast and professional. If anyone reads this please get the word out about Oscar’s. I can’t express it enough how great they are!!
Oscars was a great help, did a good job really fast and did it for 40 dollars less than other places we called around to. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who need some quick work done to get back on the road.
Thank you Lord for mechanics like Oscar! My wife and I were headed to Disney from Georgia when my car broke down on I-75 with smoke coming out the hood! I googled and saw Oscars Auto Center was less than 2 miles away and had good reviews. I called up Oscar and he sent a tow truck to come pick us up. Since it was after hours he said he would look at it in the morning. The tow truck driver took us to a nearby hotel. Fearing the worst I thought we would be stranded in Ocala for a few days because it was New Year’s Eve...BUT Oscar was able to diagnose the problem and fix my car that day and we were on our way by 3pm! Also his prices were amazing and fair. We decided to just drive back to GA and the car was running perfectly! If you need any repair work done, don’t hesitate and call Oscar!!! He’s the best!
Good shop. Fast quick work. Dependable and honest people.
Just wanted to say thanks to the owner for helping me with my car...very professional and good person
We were about to cancel our trip due to unforeseen circumstances and at 10 o’clock at night with our children in the car this man saved the day, I definitely recommend him. Clutch
Absolutely phenomenal, fantastic service!! Ms./Mrs. April and Mr. Oscar are incredibly kind and the prices for my repairs were affordable! They didnt yank me around or try to sell me into unwanted or unneeded repairs, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Oscars Auto Center to ANYONE in the Ocala area! Thank you guys so much. 🙏
I bought a truck with work needed and in writing but now he has blocked me on messenger and will not answer my calls.
Oscar was very professional and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back!
Awesome quick service well absolutely be using again for business & personal!
My transmission was not shifting properly so I took the car to wildwood Chevrolet & was told the one solenoid was bad so I had them replace all the solenoids 1,350.00 was the cost& after getting it back the transmission was still not right.So a freind told me about Oscar auto center in Ocala..Oscar put the code reader on the car he told me the third gear was bad in the transmission. So I asked him to put a new transmission in the car.It was.my fault not getting this in writing but I didnt & a rebuilt transmission was installed 3, 6950. 50 was the cost & the buisness was so busy it was almost 2 weeks before I received the car back. I had some minor issues I had to have them correct also.The transmission that was installed by this buisnes is shifting real well now with a 36,000 mile warranty but I would have liked to had a new transmission installed.
Good guy and he will tell you the truth.
Called multiple times while I was sitting at a gas station with a shredded tire. No one picked up the phone. Had to get the car towed, farther away, just because they wouldnt answer the phone. Edit: I added one star because of the owners response, I can respect anyone who will admit fault.
Brought our truck in for repair. It was incorrectly diagnosed and unnecessary work was done. Afterwards, the real problem was discovered and fixed. We were overcharged for unnecessary repairs.
Excellent work! He helped me when I needed it the most! My alternator went out in my car Saturday late night and we called Oscar he was very timely and did such good work. He also scheduled a ride to come pick me up that way i could make it back to my car! I appreciate everything!
We limped off I-75 after a brief encounter with a nasty pothole, leaving us with a need for new bearings, new tie rods and wheel alignment. Oscars Auto had us up and running again in a few short hours. They were very kind to us and did excellent work!
Oacars Auto Center was a great experience! I came into town for only a few days and my truck kept dying so I brought it into Oscars. I was leaving in two days so I needed to have my truck done. They we’re amazing and got it done in a day! The gentleman explained everything he did and the reasons why my truck was doing the certain things it was doing. Very professional and nice! I would definitely recommend anyone going there for auto repairs.
I recently moved in the area and I was changing my brake rotors on my Mitsubishi Lancer but was having trouble with the rusted and stripped bolts on the brake brackets and so I wanted to save myself the time and headache and ended up finding Oscars Auto Center. The reviews looked good and so I called Oscar in the morning and he said they could help me out and I could come in to get it done. I’m extremely happy I decided to come here and as soon as I arrived everyone I encountered was extremely nice and welcoming and they got the job done quick and it was affordable. I 100% recommend this shop to anyone in need of work done to there car and thank you so much for your work Oscar. I will definitely be back for any future needs.
My buddy and I blew a tire last night on I75, after a triple a failed us and the road ranger put the tire on the back and wasn’t safe for us to drive, a friend told us to pull over and get the tire switched to the front to continue our drive to South carolina. we were basically stuck out in ocala not even 2 hours into our trip, googling random mechanics at midnight. we somehow got lucky and came across this shop owned by an angel of a man, Oscar. Oscar met us in the middle of the night at his shop to help out of couple guys in need of some luck. Oscar was honest, nice and a trustworthy guy. I would recommend this man and his shop 20/10 to my grandkids one day. Thank you Oscar! happy holidays
Bought a car from Oscar and its great, great people, good price would definitely go back
Oscar is a great and honest mechanic, I have used his services to have my VTC solenoid filter replaced, my oil and filter replacement, differential oil change, ac compressor change and my drive belt change on two of our cars, he has always been professional, courteous and reasonable. He lets you bring your own OEM parts and changes them out for a reasonable price, he stands behind his work and does a great job. Highly recommend.
Oscar did great work on my car and saved my night after with my alternator died when I driving home to south Florida.
Very good people to work with and fair prices.
Oscars experience was awesome!Fair prices, quality work and professional!He has my business from now on.
Oscar is a stand up guy! If he gives you his word he will stand by it. Very trust worthy! Thank you Oscar for taking care my elderly parent’s car. You promised them that you will replace a part in the car the next day before they traveled out of the state and that you did. They were very happy with your work and you were understanding to their needs. On top of all that your prices are very reasonable! Thanks again!
Had a tire blow out on I-75 went to Oscar and in about 15 minutes had it installed they fast and reasonably price,
This was hands-down the BEST experience I’ve ever had while “in a pickle” and needing exceptional service quickly, with precision and expertise. Oscar’s had me in and out and the work speaks for itself. IF IN AREA DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! Thanks 🙏 Oscar!!!
Just broke down with an exhaust thing and he helped us next door to him at wawa! he was awesome :)
The thing that separates Oscar from other mechanics in town is that he is not out to rip anyone off or run the bill up as much as he can. Hes completely honest about what work it takes to complete the job and actively looks for ways to save money. Hes worked on my Acura a few times now and twice he was in a position to bill me more that he did... you have to respect a garage with integrity like that. Thanks Oscar!
I was driving from Colorado to Florida and on 75 and there was a piece of truck tire in the middle of the road that broke my radiator my condenser and some of the things I call Oscar my son found the web page and we decided to call he picks me up on his own car picks up my car as well been in that process he dropped me off at a hotel and then the next day he finished 2 hours even earlier than he said he was the service was excellent and I cannot complain and I would recommend his shop for any type of situations he got two thumbs up on me 5 Stars great service anybody should go and anybody
I wish I could give Oscar and his shop 10 STARS! I have never been to a better mechanic who was so upfront and honest about everything. He is a Master Mechanic . Everyone needs to use Oscar at A Good Mechanic. He went out of his way for myself and my husband.
Oscar is performing miracles in Ocala!I was traveling north on Interstate 75 and just passing the first Ocala exit when the grinding started. I wasnt sure what it was but by the time the second exit came up I was convinced the exit was my only shot. I took the exit and pulled into a parking lot. Wasnt the engine or transmission and the tires looked good. Then I felt the wheel bearing hubs and found the left front a few hundred degrees hotter than the others. Yep! Wheel bearing failure a hundred miles from home and its already about 3:30.Googled up auto repair and was stunned to see Oscars Auto Center, 24 Hours!! And only a half mile away. Decision made.While Oscar checked out my van, I was checking for a hotel for the night. I was seconds from making a reservation when Oscar said he could get me fixed up in about two or three hours. Sold!!! Fix both front bearings!!!Oscar and his crack team had me fixed up, satisfied and on my way by 6:30. No B.S.. No upsales. No surprises. Honest opinions on repairing options.Theres nothing fancy or frilly about the shop, the crew or Oscar. However, if you want fast, reliable honest service from a man with a friendly smile and a Christian heart, go see Oscar! AND he tows!!!
10/10 would go see Oscar again. The most fair priced after hours shop I’ve ever been to or dealt with. Got me up and going in no time and unlike most he has a personality and can have a conversation.
When replacing a part on my car Oscar gave me an overinflated price for a part that was actually waaaaaayyyyy cheaper at the dealership. He finally got the job done in a few days. He does however do a good job but the feeling of being swindled out of money did leave a sour taste, I would have loved it if the business was a little more honest with their customers. In the age of the internet, the customer knows how much things cost.
Excellent service and Very, Very affordable !Im happy to come back every time.
I Should’ve Read The Reviews Before Coming To Oscars Auto, I Would NEVER RETURN HERE OR REFER ANYONE HERE. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NOT AN INCH OF HOSPITALITY!!!Very unprofessional, Oscar told me I was able to get a quote that same day, of course it was untimely. You could easily sense his frustration when I told him I was unable to afford the service.(he then angrily said come get it then) Little did I know how upset he actually was..I had my vehicle towed to Oscars Auto (the car battery was dead) with ALL FOUR WINDOWS UP. At some point when my vehicle was in his possession he had charged my car battery and left BOTH FRONT WINDOWS down on a day it was CLEARLY GOING TO RAIN, Before leaving my vehicle outside in his lot unprotected and purposely. Who knows how long my vehicle sat there unprotected and able to be damaged by the rain..I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT ANY OF THIS UNTIL MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME. Then I was left with the burden of trying to quickly find someone to jump start my car before it rained. Honestly he put me in a worse position than I was already in. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THIS UNKIND. I WAS NOTHING BUT NICE TO OSCAR. I WOULD GIVE NO STARS IF I COULD FOR THIS RATING.
On Memorial Day 5-25-2020 I was in Florida for a family emergency. I was trying to get myself, one of my daughters and 3 of my grandchildren back to Ohio. We stopped in Ocala at the Pilot at exit 358 off I-75N. As we started to leave the axle shaft on the drivers side of my For edge broke leaving us stranded, A very nice women employee at the Pilot looked up 24 hour service centers for us. She found Oscars Auto Center for me. Oscar picked up my vehicle with his tow truck and had his employee Mike pick my family up in a chase vehicle and got us to a Motel close to his shop. He installed new axles at my request and had the vehicle back to me by the time I needed to check out of the rooms. When I payed the repair bill, i was overwhelmed by the fact that I called him on a Holiday but he did not charge me a Holiday rate. I have never had a better experience with a shop than this in my life. Thank you Oscar and Mike for the way you treated my family and me through all of this. The repair price including the tow and ride to the motel was less than half what I expected. If you need an auto repair in the Ocala area please see Oscar and his team, they are great.
OSCAR IS THE BEST! FAIR PRICING, HONEST WORK AND FRIENDLINESS.I’m an out of town commercial driver, I went to two other mechanics in Ocala and literally got kicked out and I was extremely friendly. Oscar got me in last minute, physically showed me what he did and was friendly the entire time.You’ll come once and I’m sure he will be your regular mechanic! He’s extremely knowledgeable and even works on medium/light duty pick up diesels.Thank you again Oscar!
We broke down with a flat tire on the side of I-75 outside of Ocala.. we called Oscars’s Auto Center to see if they had a tire for our car and they did! We got the spare on, got it in the shop and left all within 45 minutes. They stayed late and got us in right away. Absolutely incredible service and very reasonably priced! We were afraid we wouldn’t make it to the rest of our vacation. We are so grateful for Oscar’s Auto Center! Thank you again!
Passing through while traveling and my brakes started seizing up. They had me up and running and back on the road within a couple hours/same day. The other shop I called kept sending me to voicemail. Thanks, Oscar, for taking great care of me and giving me a little break on the bill!
On a road trip and needed to stop, chose them because of the great reviews...and we were blown away! They deserve every star. Incredibly kind service here, professional, and very quick. So grateful they were able to help us right away and get us back on the road!
Amazing customer service, honest work, great prices!
Ocar the owner is amazing. A honest man at what he does. But be careful not all that work for him is the same. If you want to business here deal with him ONLY!
3:30 friday afternoon during the apocalypse Oscars tuned up our rough running truck & had us back on the road home to Canada in 2 hours. God bless Oscars and God bless America. Jason (Practical Turf Care)
Affordable and very friendly service. Oscar does all my oil changes and any other work I need done on my vehicles.
They were very quick with my Dodge Avenger, and for a great price. Definitely will be taking my car here in the future for any further work. Also, they have a great warranty available. Appreciate you, Oscar!
At 10pm on a Friday night, Oscar was willing to help mount our trailer tire when multiple other places refused because we didnt have a semi sized trailer tire. We appreciated his willingness to help, quickly, so that we could get back on the road with our trailer (and 3 tired kids)!
Great place reasonably priced, even opened after hours so I could get a tire
Oscar is the man! Had an issue with my RV and needed it checked out ASAP. Oscar dropped everything and got us back on the road! Very professional, reasonable prices, and a nice guy on top of that. Explained what he was doing and what repairs were required. Thank you Oscar, my family is very grateful for your help.
Oscar is the man. Left his home. Replaced my bad tire. Bad lug nut was removed with special tool and this is at 2244 hrs. Best service Ive ever got.. And sold me a great used Tire.. Rock on brother Oscar.. You will have all my repairs
Great place to go to get a job well done on any of your automotive needs...what time are you open on Saturday ?
I highly recommend Oscars Auto Center. Friendly and affordable. Genuine and personable and professional.
I highly recomemnd Oscars auto center! Very convenient! Extremely nice staff & great prices! I was able to get service the same day I called and was in and out in no time! Definitely will be my go-to place for any of my vehicles needs in the future! 😊
Had a flat that needed to be changed after hours (9PM). Oscar was great, helped us get a used tire at a fair price and put it on so we could get on our way.
Great people and great service. They took the extra time to explain the issue our car was having. Fair pricing and quick turnaround.
This place was amazing, great price and will take care of you any time! Ignore the bad reviews on here, you wont get better service anywhere. I got to his shop on a donut way late in the night and he had no problem setting us up and when we called it was clear he would meet us as well! Definitely use him over anyone else!
Wonderful wonderful service, honest, sincere, affordable, took me in right away. I definitely will be back.
Kind customer service! Great work!
This place is awesome! Oscar was a huge help and got us fixed up in a hurry! I would recommend this place to anyone who needs service especially in the middle of the night like we did! A++ service Oscar youre awesome!
Great service I swung in at 5 pm with a flat tire they picked me up a new one and had me on my way in no time at all.
I wish I could give this guy 10 stars!! Oscar was so great - our car broke down and left us stranded for over 3 hours before we could find someone to come help up us (its a Saturday night on Mothers Day weekend), after calling multiple shops/people, I finally came across Oscar. He came out himself to check it out and diagnosed it for us and told us what we could do. We couldnt be more grateful with how helpful he was, he was such a blessing to us after such a stressful day. Thank you Oscar.
Very good service. They towed us and our trailer in the middle of the night when we broke down and promptly got us back on the road. Also affordable and the only place that got back to us that night. Save some time and call them first.
Ive been doing business with Oscar since day one and never has he ever disappointed me at all !! Nothing but precision and magnificent customer service have I received from him thus far. Oscar is the man and he shall carry on with the growth of his business...
Oscar is wonderful!! He took really good care of me!! I was coming home (West Palm Beach) from visiting a friend at Shands Hospital in Gainesville when my car battery died after a quick food stop. I got a tow to Oscars and he was sure to check my Alternator and the actual battery to best determine which issue had caused the dead battery and be sure I wouldnt have further problems on the road homeward bound. A battery was all it was. He fixed me right up and got me back on the road in less than an hour (including two time). Thanks Oscar!!
Great customer service! Oscar helped me with no questions asked, even though it was late and he was closing shop.. him and his wife are great people and are willing to go out of their way just to help for a great price! Cant beat them!
Super quick and super helpful ten out of ten would suggest to a friend.
We always take our car 2011 Toyota Camry LE here to get an oil change and he is the only one that’s been under our hood we’ve had no problems with our car, we make sure we keep up the maintenance on it because it is driven every day whether we’re going to work or using it for Uber share rides we bought this car in excellent condition in Feb 2018 we started bringing this car to you Oscar maybe close to near end of 2018 we have never bought the car anywhere else to get an oil change it would either be my husband or myself bringing the car in but the last time I bought this car in to get an oil change which was on or about Jan 10, 2020 I noticed there was something missing right near where you put the oil, it’s a cover called a breather filter where the air would circulate back into the engine, that’s the first thing! Second we checked the oil today and the damn dipstick is bone DRY! So what that means is our oil changes were straight bogus! I noticed also that my car was ready in like 10 mins it takes more than some 10 mins to change the oil but we trusted Oscar and his staff we got courtesy calls too, that was all a front, only God spoke to us to check today Feb 9th a month later, because we are always busy. This has been a valuable lesson! You’re wrong for trying to Sabotage our car, you get no more business from us, may God forgive you for the dirt you’re doing to these people if we read these reviews before hand we could have saved a year of being ripped off on the oil changes. I was also going to get our breaks changed and we were blessed to have a mechanic friend do it and charged us nothing knowing we have been ripped off by you guys. 😢 Don’t do business with Oscar you’ll be sorry in the long run!
Fast and great service. Had a blown tire and everyother shop wanted outrageous price for used tire. Called Oscar and he did it for less expensive price. Thanks again oscar.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Excellent experience! Quick service! Very friendly! Thanks, Oscar, for your kindness and generosity! You were a blessing to us!
Its a great place to take your car very honest and really respectable cant say enough good about him
We broke down after a college visit and Oscar saved our day! He was quick to send help for us and get us back on the road in less than 1.5 hours🙌🏼 This place is amazing and so efficient
Quick, friendly, and extremely helpful as I ran into some issues while driving through Ocala. Great location near I-75 as well
I could feel my breaks crunching and my truck started smoking, pulled over, come to find out oil was spewing from my gas cap. Oscar hooked me up with an emergency after hours oil change and new set of brake pads because I was traveling from out of town. He is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
We had car trouble on a Friday night. After a two hour phone battle with the insurance company. They finally got Oscar himself to come out and tow us. He was completely professional, respectful, and understanding through our whole ordeal. Highly recommend.
Professional and reliable, these people are very reliable. It was late at night, and I found Oscars auto opened. They helped me with a flat tire. Thank God he was around because me and my girl would have been stranded.
Easiest time towing my car ever. Ty to chris who is a beast with that tow truck! Would use them again just hope i dont have to anytime soon lol.
My pregnant wife and I had a wheel bearing go out on us from Alabama to Port Canaveral. Oscar picked us up that night took us to the hotel down the street, and picked us up in the morning. We were back on the road before lunchtime. Oscar and his staff were great, that was the best mechanical service Ive ever had. Thanks again Oscar.
Guy was awesome came out to help when I got a flat even tho they were closed already awesome service and fast
Excellent service. Excellent staff. Absolutely zero complaints. Followed up with me and helped out tremendously when my truck broke down with a trailer. Made sure I got where I needed after being towed. Would recommend to anyone around Ocala needed a tow and their vehicle fixed.
I wish I would have found these reviews sooner. The shop is a ripoff. I needed to have a brake line replaced but once Oscars had my car they said they would not do the repair without replacing the entire rear brake system and doing repairs totally unrelated to the brakes. They also hit me a hefty sum for for towing both ways. Dont go here. No place else will be as bad.
Complete liar and crook. Do NOT trust this place with your car!!! He screwed up the work on our car; then lied about doing it but when he was caught in the lie he then offered to pay for some of the work at another shop. When it came time to pay he refused. Think Tom McDermotts Mazda you screwed up and then on top of it you lost his key after you towed it to the dealer!! Now does that grab your attention! Pay him back!!!
We found Oscars Auto while traveling back home to Southwest Florida. Great customer service. He replaced the tongue jack on our RV trailer for a reasonable price and we were on our way in no time.
Great place the owner and the attendees are very nice with the customer
Totally awesome! We were in a really bad situation with a popped tire. Its 12:51am and he got up and helped us. Bless this guy and this place. Hella nice, he made the bad situation into a great one. Also it was really fast and the prices were A1. 10/10 would totally use again 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I was in distress when I had a blow out on the turnpike leaving Miami... My spare tire blew out on I-75 in Ocala... Oscars was in the right place at the right time... Service was quick, friendly and affordable.... They where awesome.... Thanks for everything.....
This man is a life saver, shop was closed noticed I was desperate over the phone asked me what was wrong, told him my situation and he told me to meet him at his shop anyways and helped me out. If someone has this great of a customer service this is the way to go. Thanks again
Very professional and I’m efficient auto place if you’re looking for honest people and a great experience come there
Had two tires go bad while on a road trip, after business hours. He had us back on the road in no time.
One of the best shops to go to and have your car taken care of very friendly and honest I will definitely go back.
Called at 10:30pm requesting a tow on Martin Luther King day. Prompt answer and the man on the line was incredibly polite and explained from where my car overheated on the highway wed have to wait an hour to get a tow.After 40min we discovered our insurance was able to help us with a free tow. Called Oscars and told him to cancel 40min into the order. The man on the phone was again very polite and didnt seem bothered at all my the cancellation. He seemed relieved that we got some help.I was very impressed with the professionalism he had and the prompt phone answer (no other tow company was picking up despite being labeled 24/7). 5/5 stars, if I ever have to use a tow company in Ocala Id choose them.
In response to your comment; I’m disappointed because YOU failed to follow up! After telling me you would call back, YOU never did!! My boyfriend NEVER spoke to you about the parts nor did he say the dealer parts were too expensive, he only called you because we never heard back from you! And to say my car wasn’t brought into your shop, that’s a lie because it was only to be told YOU didn’t have the parts. No, I wasn’t charged anything (all I got was a quote) but bottom line, my frustration comes from poor communication. Not once did you ever let me know that the part weren’t available locally.
Had a great experience with him and his staff. We were traveling from Illinois and had been told by pep boys we needed a new metal gas pipe to go to Ford so we went to Ford who said they could not fix it because the part is no longer available anywhere basically so they told us to go to a diff. Mechanic to try and have someone rig the fix, that mechanic couldnt do it for a few days so I googled a mechanic and found Oscar. . . We took it to him, we were hot, tired, worried and had 4 kids under 9 with us, he said take them inside to watch cartoons and Ill take care of you. I told him about the part and told him good luck, his responce was we wont let it beat us. ;)He set us up with his secretary to take us to a rental car place ( which messed up our reservation and we ended up with no car ) we took an uber to our campground 45 mins away and the next day Oscar had our car fixed. He said it was NOT EVEN THE PART THEY SAID! it was a small seal that had a leak. He took the time to lift the engine and find the real problem saving us hundreds of dollars, then helped us get an uber driver for half the price as the night before. He was very real. Very kind, down to earth, genuinely nice person. Ocala has a genuine mechanic here.
Amazing service. We had a popped tire and they were able to fix it right up with ease! Would highly recommend!
Oscar deserves an Oscar. My mom and I had a blow out, it’s 11:12pm and he came to his shop and gave us nearly half off on a tire. Extremely nice guy, quick and good at what he does.
