They really knew what they were doing. They went through a truck I was thinking about purchasing and warned me that it was not a good buy based on mechanical issus.

Absolutely the most professional care I have ever received... although not so good news for my vehicle, lol. After taking my car for a regular oil change, it was discovered that the white smoke coming out was due to oil leaking into the engine valves (short version). Ms. Christine was very thorough in explaining exactly what was going on with my vehicle and what my options were. not only did she take the time to explain everything in a very thorough, patient, and professional manner BUT did so again after I needed to call her again to clarify some issues. She never seemed bothered by my questions and took time to help me choose what my best option would be... which unlike other mechanics, it was not the most expensive choice either! I have been taking my two family vehicles to Hummel Auto for approximately two years now. the level of quality, HONESTY, and professionalism is unmatched. I am planning on purchasing another vehicle soon and there is no question were I will be taking it for my maintenance needs.

Their care for the car is very good. They are excellent in scheduling and I don’t have to wait for an oil change if I make an appointment. They are very professional and know all their stuff about automobile. If I need a part they try to find the best price that they can and it is not one company that they deal with they will go in search to give me a good price.

The oil change for the Honda Accord took 1 hour. Advised oil pan was starting to leak, but not an emergency, and could be repaired/replaced at the next oil change (1 year or 3,000 miles). The second oil change, for the Chevy Tracker also went well for the change but, I was advised the Left rear axle was leaking and required a new seal and bearing. Estimated charge: $310 (2-hour repair). I decided to get a second opinion as I felt the cost was too high. I had a mechanic I have used over the past 20 years, who felt only the axle seal required replacement. Unfortunately, he did not have the right tool to remove the bearing screws (screws were aligned differently from the tool he had available). I checked with a local Chevy Dealer who quoted me a price of $495 for the job. I decided to have Hummel complete the repair. However, after they removed the axle bearing, retainer, and leaking seal, discovered someone (most likely, the used car dealer from whom I bought the Chevy) previously used a cheap and wrong size retainer ring, using a glue-type sealant to fit on the drive shaft. This discovery required Hummel obtain the correct sized retainer ring from a Chevy Dealer. The part would not arrive for another 3 hours. Instead of having to wait 3 hours and then another hour at Hummel to complete the repair, Jeff, Service Adviser, drove me home using his car, then picked-me-up 4 hours later, when the repair was completed. He also test-drove the car to ensure there was no further leaking. Shirley the Receptionist, Jeff, and the rest of the staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. I will definitely use Hummel again.
Description of Work: Brought my two cars: Honda Accord & Chevy Tracker in on different days to take advantage of the $13.98 oil change offer noted through Angie's List.

I have always been faithful about having my oil changed at an auto repair shop as opposed to companies that only do that. The first mechanics I went to always found $900.00 worth of work every time I went into them for an oil change. My next mechanic was an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kinda guy and he retired. My third mechanic's work ethic was "let's fix the most expensive thing that could be wrong and do that (regarding my A/C). When it didn't resolve the issue, I got lots of excuses and justifications and another expensive solution. I finally joined Angie's List for the sole purpose of finding a good mechanic. I haven't been neglecting my car, I've just had lousy mechanics. Hummel Tires got great reviews on Angie's list. They're so busy, I couldn't get in for 5 days. So far, I've been thoroughly happy with them. They took a lot of time explaining what needed to be done. They listened to my needs as well and were very pleasant working within those parameters with safety as the #1 issue. Happily, they are now my mechanics and I would be very comfortable referring them to anyone.
Description of Work: Aside from A/C work, my 10 year old car had never had any major work done to it. I went in for a noise my brakes were making for which I needed all new brakes. Hummel also found many other problems, some of which were safety issues. A lot of work needed to be done and it took 2 days to do it all. When I got it back, it ran so well I knew I needed all that work done. I had assumed the way my car was sounding and handling was just due to age. I had all the break pads and rotor disc replaced, a new radiator assembly and hose housing replaced, thermostat gasket and lower control arms replaced, plus new hub bearings and motor mounts. They also did a lube, oil & filter change and rotated the tires.

The owners and staff at Hummel are extremely competent, thorough and trustworthy. In addition, they keep detailed records of what work is done and what needs to be done for future visits. They take great pains to explain how things work and what is needed and I continue to be appreciative for the fact that they are able to get parts for my 1988 Toyota. On a more personal level, I find Jessica and Christine have a high level of integrity and professionalism with a concern for the comfort of customers. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.
Description of Work: I've been taking our cars (a 1988 Toyota and a 1997 Toyota) to Hummel for a year now for tune ups as well as more specific issues (new timing belt, new tires, new shocks) and each time, Hummel has been able to get parts - no easy feat for a 1988 car. Both Christine and Jessica have taken the time to explain what the issue is and what our options are. The 1997 Toyota 4 Runner had a brake issue that no other auto repair place was able to resolve (when the brakes were applied, they "grabbed") It turns out that the rotor drums needed some work and the problem has never recurred. In addition, a few months ago, The 4 Runner suddenly started making a loud clanking sound. Christine fitted us into their shop immediately and in less than an hour, the vehicle was repaired.

I called to make an appointment expecting to leave the car and get a ride back to my home, which the shop said could be arranged at no cost. When I arrived, the office manager informed me they would be able to do the work while I waited. 45 minutes later, it was done. Several things impressed me about Hummel, meaning I will be a regular customer from now on. -- To deal with the buzzing noise, they put in a clamp and bolted it securely around the converter. Total cost: $2.50! I can easily imagine a shop that would tell me the converter was bad and needed replacing. -- I brought a new air filter and asked that it be installed. The tech came out of the bay holding the existing filter, proving it did not need to be replaced, and suggested I wait. She (yes, a lady mechanic) put it in the trunk, saving me money. -- The shop accepted my AL coupon and charged me the price indicated by the coupon. -- The shop looked clean and well run. They let me watch the golf channel. Customers who walked in while I waited were treated politely and professionally.
Description of Work: Oil change; tire rotation; catalytic converter clamp installation to stop buzzing noise.

They seemed very fair. I have taken it in for problems that I assumed existed, thinking it would cost me several hundred dollars; but they said that they need to tight the nut down and they have done it for free at times. I have been taking different vehicles over the year.

They are outstanding. Christine Jones and Jessica run the place. Most men aren't keen on having a woman tell them what is wrong with their car, but these two are the best. The price is reasonable. They are punctual, responsive, and professional. They have done all of my repairs over the last two years, and I will continue to use their services.

They did an excellent job! I expected it would cost me hundreds of dollars and it only cost me an additional $15. I came early Saturday morning and even though their schedule was full, they said they would fit me in. My car was ready two hours before closing and they didn't over charge me! Excellent fast service at an honest price - what else can you ask for!

Owner and staff were nice enough but how many times can you take a car back to an auto repair shop!
Description of Work: We went multiple times for same problem; the engine light was on. $300 and this was never fixed. On the 3rd attempt they delayed us about a week to bring the car back in. When we got the car back on our last attempt the engine light was still on and the turn indicators were not working properly, they denied any responsibility. We returned to our previous mechanic and the problems were promtly fixed.

Response from Hummel Tire And Auto
Our goal at Hummel Tire and Auto is customer service and repairs done right. This vehicle had 2 failure codes for the check engine light on the initial visit - one was a multiple misfire code (needed a tune up badly) and the other was very small emissions leak. We performed tune up - multiple misfire problem solved. Performed further diagnosis which is a "smoke test" for external leaks. Found a hose dry cracked and splitting (fuel tank area) which was allowing a leakage. Checked the 2 related valves for closure. They were operating as designed. No further leaks found after hose replacement. We then test drove the car again - no malfunction lights came on. Customer returned 11 days later - shows a very small emissions leak. We inspected again at NO CHARGE. Again performed "smoke test" with no leaks found. Then re-checked for valve closure and operation (this can also show as a leak internally from a valve - this CANNOT be seen). All valves operating as designed at that time. (maybe gas cap not 100% sealing - not tightened properly). We reset the light and test drove multiple miles - check engine light did not return. As far as a third time returning, we have no such record. If we are unable to pinpoint a problem we will refer the customer to the dealership for diagnosis and repair. A very small emissions leak sometimes cannot be found - even at the dealer. I'm sure many of you know someone with the check light on and the dealer can't even find it until it becomes a larger detectable issue. I personally worked at the Toyota Dealership in Tampa for 10 years, my master technician was not only the shop foreman but was also #2 Master diagnostic tech in the United States southeast region. Yes, there were cars that could not be diagnosed. Some things do take time to manifest. As far as the turn signals, neither of her 2 repair orders have a concern for the turn signals not operating. The technicians do use turn signals while test driving. If this were a noticed concern at the time it would have been brought to the customers attention while in the shop.

The car was dropped off on a Saturday and was told it would be completed by Friday. We got it three days later - on the following Monday. The bill ended up being $106 higher than the estimate.

I've been to Hummels twice now and I have found my new garage. They are very professional and and do very good work. The comprehensive Oil Change included a number of items such as replacing the wiper blades. My wiper blades didn't need to be replaced. Rather than replace them anyway, the shop deducted what the replacement cost would have been from the bill. I can't say enough about a company who treats their customers with honesty and doesn't perform work that isn't needed. My other work was an issue with one of my tires. I have chrome wheels and the corrosion has been causing them to leak. I took this one tire to my old mechanic three times and he never could get it to stop leaking. One time at Hummels did the trick. They thoroughly cleaned the corrosion, rebalanced the tire and I haven't had a problem since.
