Good people, good service , fair prices and on time. What more do I need?

Very friendly & accomodating. Inspected my starter system. Found no problem. No charge. Definitely will use them & recommend them for their honesty & integrity. I trust this service garage.

I've used them of the years.  They will not charge you for work you don't need and will give practical advice.

They were amazing! They met me as soon as I got out of my car, took me right back, and had me on the road in 10 minutes. Highly recommend!

Called them ~8:30 am asking if they could diagnose my problem and how long a wait it would be before they could get to my car. The very pleasant phone receptionist told me there were a few people waiting so it was hard to say for sure but to come on in so they could look at it, give a price / time quote, and order any parts now that might be needed for a repair time next week. Upon arrival ~9am Saturday morning, I noticed several large and small vehicles already in repair bays being worked. So I figured this visit was going to take the remainder of my morning.  I barely had exited the car to sign in when I was immediately approached and greeted by a crew member asking how they could help me. Within a minute I was being directed into a repair bay for engine tech Steve to look at my problem. The human body mechanics, read medical services, could learn a lot from these guys about respecting and being this prompt with our time !  In less than 2 minutes of peering into my engine bay, Steve did an experiment with the engine running, and solved my problem with a spray shot of WD-40. So we conversed about how long this cure was gonna last, bearings, and what it was. Steve explained I'm not to worry, it was not any bearings of anything. It was the serpentine belt itself getting older and creaky as it traveled.  Hey, just like me !  We stopped the engine, checked the belt's condition which showed no cracking, fraying, splitting or any signs of failing soon. About this time the shops owner, Larry Williams, came over to check our progress which Steve explained to him. Larry gave us the 'thumbs up, carry on' sign. Steve gave me the option of replacing the belt now, or just continue using it because the belt looked to be still in serviceable condition.  We chose to continue using the existing belt. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that I was not having a fury of unnecessary parts and labor fees being pushed at me as has happened with many other auto repair shops I have encountered.  We backed the car out and I decided to park and go back to speak personally to the owner Larry about my experience that morning.  As I was waiting to speak with Larry, I counted at least 11 engine bays, most with lifts of various sizes and kinds, and even more floor space being used to work on cars that didn't need to be on a lift. Several techs were busy making tire repairs or replacements, and a few more techs standing by at the ready to help the next arriving customer.  I was able to get Larry's attention and we spoke about my visit today.  Larry explained his business' mission is honest, quality service not pushing unnecessary parts and labor.  They are a family; owned, operated, partially crewed business that has been in business for many years.  I collected a few business cards and departed for home a very happy customer.

Although  I thought I would need new rotors in the rear and told them to replace them,  they said they could just "turn" them and it would be fine.

I had quests who were traveling to Ft. Meyers and had stopped here for the night. Their car was making a loud noise and had a burning smell. I found Sumter Tire and Auto on Angie's List. I called and told them that my guests needed their car and was there any way they could work them in. We took the car in, they put it up on the lift immediately, told us the problem, the cost and the time it would be ready. It was ready by 1:00 that same day and the price was exactly what they had quoted. The car was back in good running condition. Yea!

Very professional. Fair price. We were told it would take five hours to do the work and five hours after dropping the car off we got the call to come and pick it up. We will definitely go back to Sumter Tire when we need auto repair in the future.

They were fantastic and they guy there was so nice! By going on Angie's List I ended up saving about $250. If I need any more acr work done I will definitely be back there.

I had called them to see if they could repair my tire. They said sure, bring it right over.
My tire had picked up a small bolt that was causing a slow leak. They fixed it right away and I was out of there in no time.
I would use them again. Quick friendly service.

After receiving an astronomical quote from another shop, they performed the same work at a fraction of the price. Friendly, fair and professional from start to finish. Their reputation precedes them -- like many others, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sumter Tire and Auto to anyone.

Very well

They did a great job. They are very trustworthy.

Everything went great. I have been using them for years. They were very efficient and professional. They are a family run business. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Everything went well. We found them to be easy to work with, very professional, and prompt. We appreceiate that they don't do any work until we approve of it, and that they guarantee their work.
