ARMANDO R Very reasonable car mechanic. This is a family run shop and the owner and his wife are pleasantly nice and will treat you with honesty and respect. They have several mechanics working on cars and will get you up and running in no time. Highly recommended mechanic shop in Sanford.

Curran Hohmann My Brother has used changs for quite some time....my mother was having car trouble and we decided to bring it here! Cannot express how happy I was with speaking to the original owner Sylvester, and then with his son Sheldon! Without boring you with all the details, Sheldon went above and beyond and took the proper time and detail to resolve her issues....I can definitely say the prices are very reasonable and the service is stellar! Sheldon you have earned my trust and future business! Thank you again

Olivier Welscher I have been taking my vehicles there for years. Sheldon is great to deal with. They give you the best options & are beyond flexible. Pricing is fair, quality of work is excellent & it comes with a warranty. For example, I have a 2006 foreign Canadian model of a Nissan & my radiator blew up. Ordered a replacement online that was guaranteed to for as Nissan USA didn’t carry that part. It didn’t…they called a contact in Toronto who shipped a fitting new radiator & when installed, pressure tested failed & it had a leak. Arranged to get the Canadian distributor to pressure test the (3rd) replacement radiator before they shipped it to Florida. Vehicle is fixed & still running strong & soon to be 20’years old!

Blane Evans Took my car to the Chevy dealer because of a fluid leak (I moved and the dealer was much closer than Chang’s who I had used regularly in the past). The dealer diagnosed the problem and told me that 2 hoses/lines were leaking and quoted me $1200 to fix. They had my car for 9 days and because of an “part ordering mistake” it was never repaired. Told them I needed it for work and made them put it back together. Later I took it to Chang’s for diagnosis and told them what the dealer diagnosed. Turns out the problem was not 2 leaky hoses/lines but a leaking booster. Approved the repair by Chang’s and had my repaired vehicle back within 4 hours of dropping it off. The final price Sheldon quoted me was over a $100 less than his initial quote because of a labor calculation error. He could have just charged me the initial quoted amount and I would have never known but that’s not what he did. Moral of the story is save yourself a headache and go to Chang’s. Good & honest mechanics found there.

Isaac Hildebrant Kenny was great first time taking my vehicle to a shop and i would be happy to take my vehicles here anytime and eould recommend them to anybody looking for automotive work. Communication was on point kept me updated through the entire process and very fair priced for the great job they did. Great job guys

Jadeon Mendez I’ve brought all my vehicles here and I must say this is the best shop I’ve been to they are professional, keep the customer updated and just have such a quick turn around it’s unbelievable. I appreciate knowing exactly what’s going on with my car as well as the mutual respect I’m given each and every experience I have when doing business here. I HIGHLY recommend if you have any car issue to bring yours here. Great prices, Great team and excellent service. 10/5 stars!!

mariahernandez711 I got stuck in my Miata, but Kenny and his crew were professional and helped me out, they explained everything to me about what was needed to be replaced and gave me a punctual time of when it would be ready for pick up. They have excellent service! I would definitely recommend bringing your vehicle here !

Clark Robinson Kevin and Ray did a top notch job fixing the a/c on my old Nissan truck. Best service ever!

Boom boom Do not trust this "mechanic"!! He will tell you parts are one price then charge you almost double for parts. Had to take my car to the dealership to fix everything that he touched. Its no exaggeration he literally cost me thousands of dollars fixing what he did. Be aware and stay far away.. Honestly going to look into suing this person over what he destroyed.

Rexha Rexha Very knowledgeable and price wise, pretty, very affordable

Valorie Blanton Spoke to Oliver the mechanic he tells me to call him the next day and he will come and check out my car for ac compressor, when he finally answered he told me no he was in the middle of something and to call him back the next day! No way I think the job frightened him, it was too much work… would not recommend!!

Gabriel Reynoso I recently had the pleasure of working with Oliver from On The Go Mobile Repair, and I couldnt be more impressed. From the moment I met him, it was clear that he is someone who truly loves what he does. This passion shines through in the quality of his work and his genuine interactions with clients. When my wifes car broke down, I was feeling overwhelmed since I had to drop everything to ensure her daily commute to work and for the kids. Instead of letting me pay for an Uber to meet him at the repair site, Oliver kindly offered to pick me up himself. This simple act of kindness set the tone for our entire experience together. He was incredibly thorough in his diagnostics, meticulously troubleshooting every aspect of my vehicle until he isolated the issue: a faulty engine compartment fuse block box that needed replacement. Weeks later, when the part finally arrived, I reached out to schedule the follow-up. Unfortunately, my car had been sitting in the garage for a while and the battery had died. Once again, Oliver came to the rescue by driving me to pick up a replacement battery. After replacing both the fuse block and battery, he even stuck around while I took my wifes car for a test drive to ensure everything was functioning perfectly. Olivers commitment to providing great service was evident throughout the process. He not only diagnosed the problem but also recommended parts that would be best for my vehicle and addressed other issues along the way. His honesty and straightforward advice were refreshing; I felt like I could truly count on him. If youre looking for someone who embodies integrity and passion in their work, look no further than Oliver at On The Go Mobile Repair. Great service, great guy—highly recommend!

Toorsk Root David, my mechanic was right on time and was very fair and being willing to work with me on price and even the things I could not afford he told me that he would consult and advise me and I could call him anytime. I highly recommend him. he’s the man to call if you need to do an engine swap

Bob Nyberg Excellent service. My Jeep needed to have a tire pressure sensor replaced. They replaced it in half an hour and synced it with the main computer of the Jeep.

Cody Ramos Wonderful and honest people. Terrific mechanics. Will never hesitate to bring my cars to Ken and his team. They don’t make them like this anymore!!

JAZZY DAVIS Highly recommended, Really care about there customers I will always bring my car to them!!!!

marlaina mercado 5 star quality and 5 star service with great prices!!! Thank you Pablo for all your help!! I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything in full detail and I appreciate the good quality work.. I will continue to recommend and use Tuffys auto for all 3 of my vehicles.

Karen ODonnell Absolutely the best service with care and honesty. This is the second time I’ve brought my Toyota Rav 4 to Tuffy, 4303 West 1st Street, Sanford Fl. Pablo Alamo is phenomenal in customer service. He takes the time to explain (in layman‘s terms). He pointed out the complementary drinks that were available., the location of the restroom and explained the breakdown of the bill. The comfort level that you provide is very much appreciated.

Onyx The Unjust Highly recommend. I went in for an oil change and a new battery and they were done very quickly. All the staff were very kind and not to be nosy, But when i was waiting I overheard that they even waived an alignment fee for a woman who got an alignment the day before when dealing with her vehicle. Respectable, honest workers all of them.

Mitch Hoover In a word….Awful. They left me hanging for six weeks, telling me the part was on order when it never was. The one small thing they did fix broke a month later. Terrible terrible customer service. If you want your car fixed go somewhere else.

Anner Bristol This Auto Mechanic Shop was highly recommend by a dear friend. Jose was very kind and professional, which made me feel comfortable having the work done on my vehicle. The price was very reasonable! I will be using this shop again.

Christa Hixon I brought my van that I urgently needed back for my karate school and they went out of their way to make sure it was done in time to pick up kids. Their price was fair and I will absolutely go to them again. Thanks so much! You guys really came through for me!

Wang Xinyao I am a 56-year-old Chinese woman who has lived in the U.S. for 33 years. I brought my Honda Accord to this shop only to replace the battery. My car has only 11,000 miles on it over the past 3 years. Shockingly, the next day, the owner gave me a $2,900 bill and falsely claimed there were electrical and alternator issues. That was a complete lie. Later, I discovered they removed my white LED headlights without my knowledge and even replaced my car’s original front rotors—something I never authorized. This was a dishonest and shameful act. Do not trust these people. Think twice before doing business with them. If they can do this to me, they can do it to anyone. Stay away.

James DNL Dishonest and Overpriced Service I went here for a quick oil change my first and last visit. I always get full synthetic oil from Toyota for under $100. I clearly told them to use synthetic oil but they put in regular cheap oil (worth $30–$40) and charged me $208! They lied about the service took advantage of the situation and completely ripped me off. Avoid this place at all costs and report them if you can. Scamming customers like this is unacceptable.

Tracy Lai Had a wonderful time at the Women Auto Know workshop! I wanted to learn a little more about car basics in preparation for the winter months and brought my friend with me. Audra not only explained concepts very easily but also made it fun and interactive. After we talked through basic topics like changing engine filters, jump starting a battery, or what to look for in tire wear, we would apply those to props or point them out on our vehicles to practice what we just learned. It is so great of Audra to put on this free workshop to help educate the public on how to better troubleshoot issues and become an informed car owner. I left feeling more confident on how to talk about car maintenance when bringing my vehicle into the shop or what to look for when a warning light comes on. Would highly recommend this short, informational workshop to anyone who is looking to improve their car maintenance skills!

John Kramer I was in need of a diesel mechanic and was referred here. When I called they said they were slammed that day but to bring it in the following day and they would take care of it. I appreciate them being upfront about the work load because I have had shops in the past that would take my truck and hold it for a few days before doing anything. When I brought it in they said it would be ready by the end of the day and it was. They fixed the problem and I was back on the road. I was very pleased with the service. Thank you!

Pat O Excellent truck repair! Knowledgeable, honest, true to his word. Came highly recommended to me, and we will DEF use this company again

Brad Cook He seemed very knowledgeable. He was extremely busy with a full lot. I was going to provide all parts and have him quote me for labor. I needed ball joints installed and a $150 2" lift kit installed, but at 85 an hour and 10 hours of labor, I decided to do the work myself. My old boss referred me to him, although he was quote 65 an hour for labor. Like I said, the man is busy, his prices are starting to reflect it.

Alan Hampton I am a contractor and my van is my lively hood. When my transmission failed no idea what to do. There was nobody I trusted. I had no mechanic. I found Jose and his shop of 9 years through these reviews and that is why I am writing this. Jose is an excellent mechanic above that an honest and good man. I was renting a truck while mine was in the shop(costly). This man had me back in my truck in a week as he said he would do everything he could to accomplish that. Even though he needed to get additional parts that went beyond a basic rebuild. He’s 30 miles from my house and well worth the trip. If you need a mechanic Jose and his team are where you need to go. He’s good, respectful, and above all HONEST. This is the only shop that will work on any vehicle that I own. He will always answer or return your calls and keep you posted on the work. Oh and you will NOT find extra bolts in your cup holder when you get your vehicle back. I usually don’t write reviews but I felt I had to in this case. Transmission specialist & Auto Repair they are well worth the trip. Al. 2014 Chevy Express 1500 Van

Amanda Taylor Struggling with this shop right now. We developed a tcc shudder on a trip to see our son in Airborne School at Ft Benning on 3/28. Truck was drivable but shuddering in 2nd and 3rd gear with decel about halfway through the trip. We had our tuner put it limp mode and brought to Jose upon several local recommendations. We dropped our truck off for a new converter and tranny rebuild on 4/7. Picked it up on 4/17, great turn around time, drove it to the vet the next day and the shudder was way worse than before we took it in. We brought it back on 4/18. I was asking for updates on May 9 and May 12, no response, so I showed up on 5/14 to see that the tranny cooler was not connected and had two female ends showing. Jose reassured me he would let me know the plan when the transmission fluid pump test parts came in on Monday 5/20. Here it is May 28, I am out of state, but I am getting no call backs, updates, or status on my truck. I have paid in full, with receipts, and its been almost six weeks. Jose is a great guy, knows his stuff for sure, but I am struggling with communication. I will be thrilled to update this review with good news when I get my truck back with the transmission operating correctly. Update: after Jose diagnosed a burnt spark plug wire on 6/23, my husband flew down and picked up the truck, changed the wires to some quality MSD high temp ones, and drove it 2.5k miles this last week. Its shifting hard, but cant wait to get it on the dyno and clean up the tune this weekend. Hopefully will update with good news soon as soon as I re-run the diagnostic and tuning.

Jake Stigers I would rate 6 stars if I could… First off, thank you everyone for your positive reviews on here. That’s what led my daughter to this place. My kid was on vacation in Florida. She & her girlfriends had car trouble and contacted Jose. He went out of his way to help them out, and was reasonably priced. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to Jose for being there and being a kind and caring man to my daughter & her friends. Sincerely- nervous dad

Katherine Carrillo Highly recommend this place..Awesome service
