I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Mike and his team managed to squeeze me in for a wheel alignment without even making an appointment. I only ended up waiting for a short time and the alignment was perfect! Everyone working here is extremely knowledgeable and know how to take care of customers. I will definitely be back for any future repairs. Thanks again for doing a great job and providing a great customer experience!
Went here for a second opinion. Came in on my lunch break & Pam assisted me right away. Needed a patch, but the tire couldn’t be fixed. Pam was able to get me a good deal on my Michelin tires and get me taken care of before i left for my trip. Great service, good prices, great people. Thank you!
This family owned business constantly goes above, and beyond for their customers. Simply because their customers are treated like family as well! The service is consistently professional, and of the best quality.
I want to thank Mike and the team. I had a screw in my tire and Dave had me repaired and on the road in no time. Thanks again!
We saw the low tire pressure warning indicator and quickly drove there so they could check if the car had a flat tire. They checked it, we didnt have a flat tire, they just put some air into the tires and didnt charge a penny. They were very professional starting from the person that answered our phone call, the person that greeted us when we got there, to the person that actually performed the tire inspection.
I had a great experience at this shop las week and was my first time there. I will recommend it I will use them again.
Universal Tire & Auto are awesome! Definitely the best place for any repairs around. The front desk staff are knowledgable, friendly & courteous especially their new, handsome Service Manager, who made the visit quite enjoyable. The technicians are professional, and truly know their stuff. They really helped my daughter with her car, when she was in a jam, quickly & for a reasonable cost. You cant beat it!! They will forever have my service.😁
Good quick service. Friendly staff. I will make it my go to place
These guys came through for me multiple occasions with my tire needs! I would recommend anyone to give these guys a try they are fast and reliable!
My first time in the shop and last! I purchased a serpentine belt from the dealer but the owner did not want to installed it because he didn’t buy it. SMH then I took my Hummer H3 for alignment I end up paying $300 for just a simple wheel alignment. A few customers have said that this particular location likes to charge extra for non oem parts
I would trust these guys with any car problem. They know their stuff. My truck has not run this good for a long time.
Quickly serviced vehicle. Very personable staff. Needs more seats in waiting room
This garage is really great! Mike had been very attentive and knowledgeable. Ordered my tires and got them right in the next morning.
Absolutely wonderful service! Friendly, quick, and affordable. I love supporting local businesses and this is a great one. Mike and Taryn are wonderful owners. Rob and Cher are incredible team members. Highly recommend!
One of my tires was losing air and I had stopped by Tire kingdom and Tire plus tonight to have someone take a look. Both places told me to come back the next day as they were too busy to look at my tire. I drove my car to UNIVERSAL TIRE AND AUTO at around 5:56 Pm ( close to their closing time), a professional gentleman outside offered to help me. ( He DID NOT TURN ME DOWN like the other places). They fixed my tire in no time and with a smile. David was super helpful and super polite. The manager was a true customer service professional! Thank you for helping me!
I used to go to Valvoline or Jiffy Lube but I tried Universal after getting a coupon in the mail. I keep coming back because theyre faster, cheaper and have better service. Same day appointments, never wait longer than 30 mins. Theyre honest, nice and even give out free drinks while you wait. I like that Im supporting a local business instead of a chain. Plus their website says they participate with a local food bank to help those in need. Ill be back again and again!
I came in for a quick oil change, and left a very satisfied customer. The service done was very well and the staff was very friendly. It was my first time at this shop and new to the area, I was pleasantly surprised. Rob was especially personable and had a good conversation with him, and helped answer any question I had about my vehicle, and the area.They were exceptionally professional and courteous- this I especially appreciated. Though I went for only an oil change, they gave me an update on my vehicle and any foreseeable future work which was very very nice.Great folks at this place, would recommend!
I got a problem with the front tyre / driver side and they fixed it in ten minutes without any fees.
Definitely watch your back! They definitely could be more thorough with their work, not consumer friendly just in and out!!Good luck
I had an upcoming car trip that I needed to make so I stopped in to get an oil change. This was my first visit, and Rob provided excellent customer service. He alerted me to a few issues that I was unaware of, and he was able to perform the needed repairs right then. I went on my car trip the following week, and I felt so much better during the drive knowing that my car had received such good care. I will definitely be a return customer. Thanks so much!
I was traveling down to see my grandkids and got a flat. I went here because it was my closest option. I felt like that because I have a speech issue that they didnt want to help me. They just kept passing over me when they couldnt understand. When I told me granddaughter when i got to miami she helped me leave this review. I was emabarassed.
These guys are the best!!! Rather it was my own personal vehicles, my work/business vehicle, one of my daughters cars or my sisters car. They have always handled every situation for me with the class and honesty that one could hope for. Best staff and service in Central Florida.
Went in for an oil change and left with an estimate for $1000 in repairs. I know most places have similar tactics, but I was then informed my vehicle wasnt safe to drive home... I left and immediately bought the new parts to change myself. The next day was a frustrating process of getting off each unsafe part, only to reveal they were almost new... Started with the brakes all around, then master cylinder and so on. I know you guys have to make money but I would hate for someone to sign a check without taking a second look.Edit.... my truck has been fine since my initial review. I obviously changed my pads once almost a year after the review. Nobody yelled to get out of the way. Nobody pushed my truck out of the bay... everything they said was broken still isnt! Read the next lowest review and you will see that Firestone, next door, is where to go. SNAKES IN THE GRASS is right!!! Two years and I havnt had to push my truck anywhere!!! Or tell out the window because I cant stop.
Absolute five star! Blew a tire on my way to an IT emergency. Rob Nestor and his incredibly competent staff jumped on top of it. Got me a brand new tire, had it delivered, mounted and balanced in one hour. While there I got very reasonable quotes for work Ive been needing on my vehicles but had been putting off. Ill be back. With both of my cars. My friends will, too. Thanks for an amazing customer service experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We are happy customers. They were great the young lady I spoke to all the gentlemens. Will be back and will recommend thank you
I had a screw in one of my tires that I have been putting off repairing because it was just a slow leak. This morning when I went out to my car I noticed a different tire was VERY low. Stopped in to see if they can help and man am I glad I did. They took great care of me. Rob grabbed my keys, pulled my car in, and had both tires plugged upIn a matter of minutes, all for a price you just can’t beat! I will definitely be recommending to friends & family and coming here when it’s time for a new set of tires.
After the first time taking my car to Universal Tire & Auto, I made the decision to never take my car back to the dealership. Rob and his crew are always professional and I have taken my car to them atleast on three different occasions and no issues! Rob always takes care of me and this is why I would refer anyone to them and they will always work on my car! Thanks Rob and U T&A crew🙏🏾
I recently moved to Orlando and did not know where to go when I wanted to get my daughters oil changed and tires rotated before she went to college. a friend recommend Universal Tire and Auto. I am sooooo glad she did! I am beyond impressed! they are super friendly and helpful. they also explained everything to me without treating me like a women who did not understand cars. How refreshing is that?!!! I was a walk in so I expected to wait. No sir, they were done before I finished the diet coke they gave me while I waited. Love this place. It is family owned too which for me is a bonus. I like to support people instead of corporations! I Highly recommend!!!!!
Good people there. I went in for an oil change and thats exactly what I got. No upcharges or unnecessary repairs.They even explained the noise mt rear breaks were making and did not suggest replacement at this time.A little honesty goes a long way with me!
This business is a great place for auto repair. Mr. Mike and Mr. Rob are very professional men that has great knowledge of auto repair. They take their time in diagnosing the troubles and have a heart for the customers. I really appreciate coming to this shop and getting my cars repaired. I have rated them at 5 stars because they are very good at what they do and we appreciate them very much. Mr & Mrs Reed
Honest is the best word to describe Universal Tire & Auto. They were fast, polite and I saved money but most importantly they were honest with me. As a woman its hard to find a repair shop that wont take advantage you and Im so glad I finally found a place I can trust. The day before I went to a chain auto repair shop and waited 2 hours, with an appointment, for them to try to upsell me hundreds of dollars worth of unnecessary repairs. I went to Universal Tires, not only did they show me what was wrong, they explained it to me. I was in and out in less than an hour, saved a couple hundred dollars and my car is fixed.
Good quality work on my 5.9 diesel Cummins change power steering pump, tension pulley, belt upper and lower radiator Rob and the mechanic Great team even the office personnel.also ac Compressor.
Top service; a review does no justice. I came in a little worried about pricing and lengthy service times. This place is definitely it. Above and beyond. The extra mile is never crowded. My tire needed to be ordered and in less than 30 minutes and in the middle of a storm my tire was delivered. Thank you so much.
Great neighborhood garage, friendly knowledgeable family feel. Happy to give them my business!
Great prices and great service
So thankful for this place!!! My boss recommended them because on my lunch break I had noticed a nail in my tire, second time in less than a month! They were able to plug it up and I was on my way in less than a half hour!! Fast, efficient, KIND & respectful (which goes a long way!) I will make sure to go here for any of my other little issues I may have! Thank you guys!
This place is great for whatever you need! We have come here for pretty much anything our cars needed. They have fixed every issue we have had. Rob always takes great care of us when we come in. He is extremely knowledgeable and has many years of experience. He even gives great suggestions on where to get good breakfast! I highly recommend Universal Tire & Auto to anyone looking for a great auto repair shop.
Excellent service, went in for a quick tire check as I was losing pressure. They quickly told me there was a slight leak. They patched it up free of charge and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Always courteous as well
Always friendly and professional. Best repair place in Longwood!
Really nice ppl. Glad I stopped in. They had me out in 15min. And they told me about snap if I need to get tires and need to make payments. Thanks
Awesome place to take your car and very fair and open with what needs to be done and when it should be done. Very appreciative of their service and kindness.
These guys are awesome. Needed a tire replaced and they got it done quickly and for a fair price. Also needed a different tire repaired the next day and it was done immediately. Everyone who works here is friendly and professional, and the owner really cares about his customers. Will definitely be back and have already recommended them to people needing some work done!
So, I saw the sign for the $19.99 oil change, and had to call to see what the catch was. No catch, and they told me that Fridays are ladies day, $5 off. I dragged my feet, but called today to double check about the catch. I spoke with the manager, Rob, and he reiterated that there’s no catch. I took my car over, and he was super nice. Got me checked in, and off I went. Not even an hour later, he called to let me know my car was ready.Hands down, the best garage I’ve used in forever.Pros:-Super friendly staff-Affordable prices-Ladies day-Super fast serviceCons:-None. Seriously.
Met with Rob the assistant manager. Had a nail in one of my tires. They quickly plugged it and made it like new again. They also provided me with a free brake inspection. You can tell this place is honest and believe in high quality. It’s a family owned business and I respect that. Will definitely be back.
I love this place. I own a Ford Escape and they always do my oil changes, Friday’s are Lady’s Day! They make sure I’m aware of any problems I may have already or that may need to be taken care of in the near future. My best friend needed 4 new tires before she moved to Georgia and they got it done! I recommend this place 10/10!
The assistant manager Rob definitely was a great help. His car knowledge combined with his customer service will have you always coming to his business. We got the best deal for our vehicle and he walk us through the ins and outs of everything. I tell you when you find a good mechanic you find a good thing and we found ours! Thank you Universal Tire & Auto staff.
First time I went in they won me over with there great prices on oil changes and exceptional customer service. I stopped going to Pep Boys because of this place, theh beat there prices by alot and are pretty quick, Im usually in and out in no time. Rob the manager always takes care of you ask for him tell him Carlos sent you.Much Love Universal,From one of your supporters, GiancarlosStacksHernandez, out here in Central Florida, (Producer/Radio Personality & Humanitarian on the rise)🙌🏼💪🏼🙏🏼❤Snapchat: StacksNotoriousYouTube Subscribe:Giancarlos Stacks HernandezInstagram: StacksOficialFacebook: Giancarlos Hernandez
Bad bad business highly don’t not recommend
My second visit to Universal Tire & Auto did not disappoint. Again Rob was very helpful and went above and beyond to take care of my issues and get me on my way. I’m gradually switching all my auto care over to them and discontinuing using all other places for my auto care needs. So nice to find someone I can finally trust with my car care! Thank you!!!
Ive bought tires here before and they had a great price with great service. Yesterday one of those tires went flat so I stopped by for a repair. I walked in and they took the keys and started working immediately (didnt even ask for my info). I was invited to sit and have a free coke while they got it done. They were done before I could even finish my drink! Outstanding service and a great place to do business!
My son got a nail in one of the tires on his new car he has only had for 2 weeks. They were very pleasant and fit us in right away. They fixed it in less than 10 minutes! Wonderful service! We will definitely be back. I am going to take my car to them next month for the oil change. Thank you Universal Tire - you now have a new lifetime customer!
I first went to UT/A due to receiving a flyer in the mail. I needed new tires at the time and decided to give them a try. Glad I did. From that point on they have been my one stop shop for my truck. This also extended to my wifes car as well. They treated her with the respect that I would expect and that went a long way with me. Since then we have continued to have our vehicles serviced there. Mike the owner and Rob the manager are top shelf. I appreciate their direct conversation. No sugar coating the problem. I cannot say enough good about this company. And that especially extends to all of the mechanics/technicians that are on staff in the shop. These gentlemen know there stuff. Glad to do business with a reputable shop. Their attention to detail and work ethic is their business card.Mark, CFILake Mary, FL.
My truck was running really badly. I had some work done here on it less than a year ago. They took my truck in right away. They found the problem was two plug wires. They put new ones on at no charge because they had replace them on my last visit. I will be bring my vehicles for any problems with them from now on !! Thanks
With so many shady service centers out there everybody needs to know that this is not one of them. They also arent the cheapest, however theyre 1 of the best around and their work is more than worth the money. How many shops would actually go through the vehicle with you standing right next to them if you have an issue after service so that you can see exactly whats wrong? In my case it was need for other services that I hadnt realized I needed until they fixed the more major problems (this is good even though needing them is bad). These guys are always great and super courteous and personable!
A awesome place to bring your car. They treat you real nice..offer you something to drink while your car get services..good customer services.. is great ..
Great all around experience! I had a pleasure working with Rob. Everyone there is extremely nice, honest and knowledgeable. I will be coming here for my regular maintenance now. Highly recommended if you are around.
Incredibly friendly folks. And you can tell they just wanna get you back on the road safely. Thanks, Guys!
They were fast and great. Family owned is always a plus for my family. They even offered free drinks and coffee while we waited. Will definitely go back for all out cars needs.
Rob and his team worked on my 02 Jeep Liberty, and we’re absolutely amazing. Great staff, very professional, and excellent work while also having the work done in a quick and timely manner. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend everyone go here for your brake and tire needs.
Needed a plug in one tire. It was done quicker than a haircut. When it was time to pay Rob said no charge. How refreshing it is to find genuine people like this in our newly found community. Highly recommend.
Ive been going to these guys for the past couple years for oil change. Well... something went wrong with my car and after multiple incorrect diagnostics, I said Im just going to Universal. They found the exact problem and fixed it all in one day! All feels right in my world today! Thank you Universal for the safety and security you provided me! Excellent service!
These guys always treat me good when I need help with all my vehicles when there’s no one else to turn to.
Brought in my wifes Journey for 4 new tire installs and alignment. Ive been here many times over the years. It has been a while since I live further away but I try to bring my business to Mike when ever I am in town as they do the job right, quickly and for a reasonable price. Its hard to find honest auto shops these days. I trust Mike through and through. I recommend them many times Ive and over.
Awesome experience, the manager Rob was very pleasant, knowledgeable & straightforward. No up sales, just suggestions. Will definitely bring my car back, refer all my friends & clients to them. Thank you for being a down to earth company.
This is one of the best and most honest shops I have been to in a long time. They were up front about what needed to be done to my Jeep. I went and shopped around and couldnt find anyone that could beat their price. The have me as a customer for life for sure.
Very dishonest people. Stay away from this place. They will rip you off.
Brought my 2002 VW Jetta TDI to the shop for an alignment. Other shops said they couldnt do it because the tie rod adjustment nuts were too rusted. They handled it without complaint and did a great job. Very friendly. A great local business to support!
Excellent service, saved me lots of money. Very honest, would highly recommend! Got 4 new tires and they gave me the alignment free! They have been taking great care of my moms car, so, instead of taking my car to the dealership, as I usually did, I gave them a shot.. I was very pleased received great service with honest people! Thanks again, and Ill be back
Very helpful with a last minute tire repair, really appreciated the service and attention to detail, and they were extra careful to baby my new car lol.
I was recently at they’re shop. I’ve never felt so good about how I was taken care of. I’m a single mother and don’t know about cars. Mike and Rob went out of their way to show me what was needed and explained things how I would understand. They showed me what was needed and actually explained how things work. I then called my dad and he understood and backed everything up that they said. I will never go anywhere else. They have earned my business for life.
My family and I just started using Universal Tire & Auto about a year ago. Since then, we haven’t returned to a dealer and have taken all of our concerns to Rob Nestor, the assistant manager. Rob treats us like family every time and services all of our vehicles quick! We have never had an issue or left unsatisfied. We will continue to take our business to Universal Tire & Auto!
The best place in town. Friendly staff. Fare prices. They really take care of their customers. They got me as a loyal customer for life.
Very honest shop with knowledge mechanics. They are very efficient and helped me figure out what was going on with my tires. I highly recommend them!
This team works well together and they take pride in their work. They provide great warranties and they stand behind their service. Rob is an asset and as long as they have him, this place will continue to do well and be well.
I have not one bad thing to say about this place. Rob has been attentive and was able to complete all my work in a timely manner. I have gotten breaks done, leaks fixed, tires fixed, and even got a car inspected I was looking at! This is the best all in one shop in the area!
I had a great experience here! Everyone was professional. I needed a special order tire and they were able to get it for me in the same day! I would highly recommend and will be going back in the future for anything tire related!
BEST TIRE SPOT IN THE CITY ! Great customer service ! Definitely recommend this place before anywhere else !
Best price on synthetic oil change and great service getting a new battery, my new service center
So glad I found this place! Great service and very fair! I will be returning!
I had the BEST experience!!!! I came in needing help with my flat tire and Nathan and his staff was so friendly!!! they took a look at my car for me and explained to me “in detail” why i needed to get my tires changed and fixed!!! Nathan was so educated and knowledgeable on cars!!! Turns out i had a nail in one of my tires. This place is affordable and not a rip off like other places!!! He got me a Great Deal on my new tires for me and I’m so happy with my new tires :) which he also included ( Free wheel alignment)!!! So its definitely a No brainer for me. I am a Happy Customer! and I will definitely be returning back, Thanks Nathan for my new set of tires!!! :)
I stopped in yesterday with my car running weird. The manager, Rob, told me he would get me right in. I was stressed because I just left another shop for an oil change and now there was something wrong with my car. Rob personally checked my car and found that the other place didn’t close my air filter box. He didn’t even charge me! Rob has a new customer for life! I won’t go anywhere else. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks Rob!!!
Not only is this location convenient on 434 but these guys have helped me out of crazy spending situations multiple times with both my VW and Kia. First helping my husband and I to get a short term loan to make some large repairs on both of our cars at the same time. But this last time was nothing short of amazing. The manufacturer should have been responsible for a defective piece that keeps parking brakes off, when it breaks the lights stay on and drain the battery (which happened before I figured it out) But how convenient that my Kias VIN is not included in recall but yet has the same problem that all the other Optimas were recalled for. In 15 min Universal Tires had replaced the whole part and to top it off I paid the same price my dealership was going to charge for the diagnostic diagnosis before parts and repair. They are super professional, knowledgable friendly and affordable!!!!! Will never go anywhere else, thanks guys!!!!!
I needed tires to be replaced on my car and an oil change, as well as other car checkups. I looked up various places and noticed Universal Tire & Auto in Longwood had high reviews. So glad I did! I got an amazing deal on 4 tires. Excellent customer service, prices are amazing and an honest shop. I will be bringing my car here for service. Well done!
Generous and Kind people, they fixed my tire for free. I had a nail in my tire and they plugged it. I was really appreciative because I didnt know what to do, it was unbelievable, and it only took a few minutes. God is Good!
I’m from Alabama where most of us can do our mechanical work. Well I work out of town and I know how easy it is to get screwed when it comes to trusting someone’s word. Especially out of town working. Had wreck and State Farm wouldn’t cover the mechanical and the body shop gave me an estimate for 1,348 dollars and five days to fix.....How can a body shop without a mechanic even give an estimate I thought. So after talking all day to Rob I put my trust in him and the next day my truck was fixed for 450. Thanks Rob and universal.
Fantastic service. Friendly staff. Went in for a simple tire issue and they had me in and out in 10 minutes while still helping other customers.
They take care of my cars for everything!! I love these guys!Great service, very professional and they really care about their customers!I have a 2004 Hummer that I LOVE & they keep her on the road for me!Always very attentive and have taken care of any issues that I have with my cars - from oil changes to big problems that have arisen!I would VERY highly recommend this place!! Thanks guys for the great service and personal attention!!Shanna Rose
Everyone at Universal is great... they go out of their way to make sure I get the best service and prices. Rob is the bomb.
We just moved from Maine and have been to three different shops with incompetent workers that overlook problematic areas and overcharge for their services. We came into Universal Tire & Auto and they gave us a great deal, very competitive pricing, and amazing employees. They will continue to be our auto care service provider from here on out. Highly recommend!
Had a last minute issue with my car, even though they were booked up they still brought it in found me a great price. Great experience altogether. Will definitely be my first option.
Mike and Nathan were extremely helpful and explained and identified the repair that other mechanics had missed! The reason for worn tires was more than an alignment. I feel they gave me a fair price. Highly recommend this shop.
Satisfied with the price of my new tires. No pressure to buy. Great tip on a great little restaurant nearby as I waited. I will be a repeat customer at Universal.
Universal has fixed our work truck twice now. Both times they were able to diagnose and fix the issue quickly, getting us back on the road making money the next day. I have no reservations recommending Universal to anyone needing auto repair.
These guys are awesome! I was in a fix and it was closing time and they stayed open about 20 minutes after the time just to help me with my tire. They did not have to do that but it helped me out when everyone around us was closing. I would recommend them all day!
A great family oriented place! I wasnt sure what exactly was wrong with my car, but within 5 minutes of pulling in Mike was able to look and tell me exactly what was wrong and how he was going to fix it. He didnt try to fix things I didnt need fixed or up charge anything. Just straight forward and honest! Nathan, the front guy, was also really nice to talk to while I was waiting!
This is the best mechanic shop you could ever go to. The staff are very knowledgeable and super friendly. Nathan sets the best example of knowledge and professionalism with company. They are NOT about taking every dime you work hard for. You will not be disappointed with their service, theyre great!
Way too expensive,thank god I didnt get no services,but that $300 quote for a 12 pipe is just way to much and the resonator is in the middle of my car,and you guys kept saying that my muffler was the resonator and that the resonator was the muffler,expensive and none of yall know what your talking about or doing.who hear of a muffler being in the middle and the resonator at the end.shut down and find people who actually Know wat they doing.keep replying and I will keep answering back
Rob and his crew did an outstanding job of taking care of my tire issue. They got me back on the road in no time and at a great price. This is definitely my go-to place for any car problems. Thanks a ton gentlemen.
Excellent experience!! These folks are thoughtful, reasonable and professional.Nate went above and beyond for us and we really appreciate it.I highly recommend and love supporting a local small business!
