What a wonderful place to happen upon! No one likes to travel and have car troubles, but we did. Headed to spend time with family and had an engine light come on. We called them, they carefully listened and then directed us to them. We pulled in and they checked codes and found out what we needed done and then expedited the work. In about two hours we were in and out. We couldn t be more pleased, and I can t stress enough this was not a week day in normal hours. It was a Saturday and when most other businesses are closing they didn t hesitate to tell us they could take care of us. I would HIGHLY recommend them at any time. So very thankful for this blessing! Thank you all.

Robert is the best! My daughter and I just returned home from an impromptu trip to Florida (15+ hour drive one way). With 3 hrs remaining to get to our destination, we started experiencing issues with the truck. Stopped for the night and Powers was recommended by the motel clerk. We got up early and drove to Powers where we found Robert! Robert quickly went to work, diagnosed the problem, called for parts and had us back on the road in record time. He treated us like queens and showed and explained the problem. The cost was more than fair and Robert became our hero! Although no one wants to experience vehicle issues when traveling, it gave us the opportunity to meet a great guy, experience amazing service and intelligence and leave Lake City feeling positive and happy we got to meet Robert and the guys we interacted with at the shop. We even had Robert take a picture with us! We drove the remainder of our trip with nothing but confidence and relief that our truck failed at the perfect place. With every disabled vehicle we encountered along the stretches of interstate driven, we would say they need a Robert! Thank you Robert! You are our lifesaver!

Our car died on i75 on the way out of FL. I asked the AAA tow truck driver if he knew a place that could get us back on the road that day being afternoon already. He took us to Powers and they got us back on the road at a fair price and in record time for such an involved repair. I hope to find a great family owned shop like this one near my new hometown! Thanks for everything!

Came here for an 02 sensor repair and they went under the hood and caused my vehicle not to start all kinds of lights appeared on the dashboard. These are literally kids posing as mechanics. Guy stated that he pays 2000 a month for reviews I can t believe this!!!! Please do not do business here please!!!!!!

I will give them one star in the sense that when I broke down and had my vehicle towed there, they got my car running the next day. They took 7 hours to fix it and back home my mechanic was able to fix it in less than 3 hours. NOW, to say they fixed it would be inaccurate. My car broke down again with the same issue in Tennessee. They told me they got the part from O'Reilly's and that turned out to be false. When I tried to get my part warrantied the servicemen couldn't find it in the system. They never got it from there and they never returned the multiple phone calls I made to them. I ended up having to pay for a whole new part all over again. When my mechanic contacted them they weren't any help and didn't want to do anything to make it right. I would highly suggest you don't have your tow company drop your vehicle off there.

07/23:Honesty. Saved me a ton of money, as I thought I was going to need a new ac compressor. Nope, just a bit overcharged (because I tried to do it at home) so he replaced a Shrader adapter that was worn, and $75.00 I was headed home.My point is, he could have taken advantage of my situation, as I was prepared for a new compressor, but didn't.They have a new customer.12/23:When a mom and pop local shop, fixes your problem on time and at a great price, and was able to answer questions without an attitude, how much better can you ask for?Thank you John and Heather we depend on our van to transport our handicapped daughter and cannot take any chances with shoddy repairs.Keep up the good work!Merry Christmas!!

10/10 recommend this shop for anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic. The shop was very knowledgeable on the issue with my vehicle and found a solution quickly and fixed it. Everyone was very welcoming!

Just moved to town about a year ago, I was having a hard time finding an honest mechanic. Someone referred me to John Powers, who I have to say is a most honest person I've met in the car repair business. He quoted me a price on hubs and a muffler, which I thought was very fair price, when I came back to pick up the car, he said oh I saved you some money . John saved me over $50. The car runs better than then it has in a long time. John is a Christian and a fine man I would not hesitate to give him any challenges regarding any vehicle, five stars all the way. Thank you for being the Man you are!!

We were going to Fl from KY pulling an empty trailer and the transmission fluid started getting hot. We had issues prior to this trip and two different garages had worked on it and said no issues and we should be fine to travel. We had to leave the trailer with a very nice man in GA at a local garage. He looked at the transmission there and tested it. The transmission was ok just the fluid was getting hot and the car wasn t cooling it enough with the load. He suggested we leave the trailer and when we got to a transmission place have them change the fluids and check it again. We made it on to where we were visiting for a few days without any problem. On Sunday we started onto our destination and about 100 miles in started having trouble again. We found Powers on the internet and they were close so we went there. He looked at the car and suggested an external radiator. He did the work, changed fluids and tested everything and within a few hours we were on our way. He didn t charge me an arm and a leg either! It has been 3 weeks and no more problems. Highly recommend this place as he could have taken advantage of me and as a woman I wouldn t have known any better. Very nice people and great conversations. May God bless you and your business! If we were close no else would ever touch my vehicles again.

Was passing through I-10 at 7:15 pm and my battery light came on. Stopped at a parts store who recommended them. I said ain't nobody going to change an alternator at 8pm on a Friday night. Powers automotive repair had me back on the road by 830 pm. Was 75 miles from home and 200 miles from my destination . Thank you for the fast and friendly local service.

While traveling the Lake City, we had a controller arm issue. John Powers and his staff were able to quickly repair our vehicle and at a reasonable price. They provided excellent customer service with courtesy and kindness. I would highly recommend them.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Car started having issues driving back from a road trip at 6:30 PM on a Saturday. Was 300 miles away from home and needed a mechanic. Everywhere was closed except Powers and when I called in he said to stop by and he would take a look. Instantly told me it was my front right tire and that I needed a replacement. He called his friend who owns a local tire shop and got me an appointment with them that night even though they were already closed. Didn't even charge me for the help. He really got me out of a jam and I was able to get home that night instead of having to find a hotel or place to stay.

I HIGHLY recommend this business. My dad's van had a mechanical issue the day before he was supposed to leave to head home to South Florida. John quickly and efficiently found and fixed the issue and had his vehicle back on the same day. Not to mention, his prices are very fair and affordable. Thank you very much !Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

My car broke down in the middle of a roadtrip luckily a AAA tow truck picked us up and dropped us off here. They got the car fixed with a new alternator and back on the road in less than 3 hours and most of that time was spent waiting on the part. They were really nice and fun to chat with while we waited. The price was reasonable. There wasn t much seating in the lobby and a little dirty but it wasn t bad.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Traveling from Merritt Island , Fl to Gulf Shores, Alour son truck lost a belt that controls his steering, brakes, basically everything. We stopped at a gas station. We started googling. Saw this shop was open 24 hours and he got us back on the road in about 2 hours. He was definitely a God send.

On our way home from out of town, we ran over something on the highway that damaged our vehicle s undercarriage. We found John was open 24 hours. We called and he told us to come on by and he would take a look. He assessed the damage and made the necessary repairs very quickly. He was very thorough and did great work. Would highly recommend this family owned business!

This mechanic provided poor service as he and his team installed a passenger side mirror that was incompatible with my vehicle contributing his 10 year experience in automotive repair as to why his mistake was not responsible for the additional electrical problems the car had after being serviced at his shop. The brakes installed in my vehicle on the same day were supposed to be new but my vehicle left the shop sounding screechy and as if the newly installed brakes were not indeed new. Thanks for your time but your service needs improvement as it was not a great experience.

We were on the interstate 2 hours into our 23 hour road trip back home and our van was knocking so I looked up the nearest town (Lake City) and found Powers. John diagnosed the issue within 5 minutes, ordered the parts, fixed our van (loose and missing lug nuts), and we were back on the road in an hour without even charging us telling us to pay it forward!!! John is a Godsend and I highly recommend Powers! Thank you John!!!Service: Tires

The owner of this shop (I forgot to ask his name) was very friendly and knowledgeable. My car broke on I-10, hundred miles away from home. My car dashboard kept showing "brake system failure and brake fluid low" warning and could not be started. I found him on google and had my car towed to his shop. He diagnosed in less than one minute and found out that my brake and fluid were both okay and the problem was on my battery. I purchased and installed a new battery from his next door (a battery shop), and safely arrived at home. I offered to pay him (Powers Automotive Repair) for his diagnosis. He politely rejected it.To be honest, I was in a panic situation, since it was my first time to break my car on highway. I guess I may have to pay hundreds of dollar by choosing a repair shop that was so far way from home and I had never heard of.I am sharing my experience here, mostly, I want to say that you can trust this shop even you come to this area the first time.Services: Electrical, Vehicle Inspection

I want to thank John, Travis and the entire Powers Automotive Repair family. The short story is the dealership dealt me a horrible, dishonest and more costly hand, Powers Automotive bought back business humanity in such a positive way. May God continue to keep and bless all your endeavors.
