When works best? (optional)

Work truck or family hauler, your Ford gets the same attention

Ford builds a lot of what moves Central Florida. Across the region we see F-Series trucks that work six days a week, Explorers and Escapes running kids and groceries, and plenty of Rangers, Broncos and Mustangs in between. Some belong to one owner. A lot belong to small companies keeping two or three of them on the road at once.

That mix shapes how we work on them. A work truck sitting in a bay is costing somebody money, so we tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and when you get it back. Our technicians are ASE certified, and every visit includes a digital inspection with photos sent to your phone. When we say a brake pad is down to the backing or a hose is weeping, you get to look at the picture and decide for yourself.

One thing we bring up with Ford owners more than most is oil discipline on the turbocharged engines. A turbo is hard on oil, and the interval in your manual assumes the right grade, the right filter, and that you actually keep to it. We use what the engine calls for, and we write down the date and mileage every time so nobody's guessing later.

If your Ford is still under factory warranty, having the scheduled maintenance done here doesn't put that warranty at risk. The work has to follow the schedule and it has to be documented, and we handle both. Repairs are backed by a 36 month, 36,000 mile nationwide warranty.

Why us

Why choose us for Ford

Downtime planned around your workday

If the truck is how you earn, the hours it spends here are the expensive part. Tell us your window and we'll order parts ahead and build the visit around it.

A digital inspection you can actually see

Photos of what we found go straight to your phone. You approve the work looking at the same evidence we are, and nothing gets done that you didn't say yes to.

Oil service to the manual, not to a sticker

Turbocharged engines care about oil grade and interval more than most. We use what your engine specifies and log the date and mileage so the next one lands on time.

Factory scheduled maintenance, properly documented

Having the schedule done at an independent shop keeps your factory warranty in place as long as there's a record of it. Keeping that record is our job, not yours.

Six shops across the area

Haines City, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Frostproof, Sebring and Wauchula. Bring the truck to whichever one is closest to wherever the work has you that week.

What Ford owners say about our work

Johnny’s Automotive is truly a Rockstar independent automotive shop! If you’re looking for a place where you can trust the people working on your vehicle, Johnny’s is it. What really sets them apart isn’t just the quality of the repairs—it’s the entire experience. The team is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely takes pride in what they do, specifically on my F-150 and Jeep Wrangler. They communicate clearly, explain what your vehicle needs without making you feel pressured, and treat customers with the respect you’d expect from a great local business. The shop is clean, organized, efficient, and the attention to detail is obvious from the moment you walk through the door. There are plenty of places that can fix a car, but Johnny’s Automotive goes above and beyond to take care of the customer, too. That’s what makes them a true Rockstar in the independent automotive world. Honest service, quality repairs, great people, and an experience you can feel good about. Johnny’s Automotive absolutely earns 5 stars in my book!

Great shop & great team, from service writers to the mechanics. Although I live in Winter Haven, I chose this location because they are specifically equipped to handle my F350 dually. Since then I have been bringing my other vehicle (an older ford ranger) to Mike & his team when I need repairs. Recently my timing chains began to rattle on my ford ranger so I contacted Mike & Rebecca to see if they would be able to get the job done for me. They gave me a quote, got my truck in & repaired within 1 full work day. They provided photos of each step of the repairs they did (at my request) & emailed gladly them to me. Rebecca drove me home when I dropped my truck off, & they updated me on their progress by text while they were doing the repairs. They also notified me by text as soon as my truck was done & ready to go. Mike & his team do an excellent job & strive very diligently to take care of customers with pride, courtesy, & outstanding professionalism that other shops don’t provide these days.

This was my first visit to Johnny’s as I recently moved to Florida from Ohio. I had a year’s long relationship with a shop up north that really dialed in on my service needs. I have a Ford Transit that is a business vehicle and requires frequent maintenance. I was really impressed with the level of service and attention to detail I received from the folks at Johnny’s. They provided the requested service and made me aware of what was on the horizon. And importantly, they didn’t try to upsell me! I had requested an alignment and they told me I didn’t need one. They could have charged me for something I didn’t need and didn’t. Much appreciated relationship building there! And the long stem yellow rose left on the dash for my wife was over the top! We’ll definitely be back!!

They've been taken care of my 2009 Ford Fusion for the last 2 to 3 years and they have done an excellent job in maintaining my 17 year old car which runs like a brand new car. And it's a blessing to deal with Rebecca, she's always on top of things
