Lakeland questions, answered
Common questions from Lakeland customers about auto repair services.
Do you have a shop in Lakeland?
No, we don't have a Lakeland location. Our closest shop is Winter Haven at 5100 Dundee Road, about 18 miles away, and our Haines City shop at 31600 U.S. 27 is about 19 miles out. Plenty of Lakeland drivers make the trip because our digital inspections send photos straight to your phone, so you can see what we see before you approve any work.
Is it worth driving over for a full day of service?
It can be, especially if you're bundling a few things into one visit instead of making two trips. Give the shop a call before you head out and we'll tell you what that day actually looks like, since how long a job takes depends on what we find and what else is on the lift.
Which shop should I use, Winter Haven or Haines City?
Winter Haven at 5100 Dundee Road is about 18 miles from Lakeland and Haines City at 31600 U.S. 27 is about 19 miles, so pick whichever fits your day better. Either one works, and your service history follows you between our shops, so the next tech can see what was already done.
Can I get everything done there, or just the basics?
It's full service. Brakes, engine work, transmission, AC, tires, scheduled maintenance, and diagnostics all happen under one roof, so you're not getting sent somewhere else halfway through. You can schedule by phone or book online.
