I took my car there because the AC didn't work. They diagnosed it as needing a full AC kit and quoted me 2,600. And charged me 169.99 to diagnos it on top of that. I couldn't afford that so I took it to Firestone, they charged me 1,600, I would recommend them over Griffis. There were more issues on top of the AC kit so it had to be taken to subaru to get diagnosed. Subaru charged 137.99 for a diagnosis, I understand Griffis is trying to pay off their new building but they shouldn't be charging more than a dealership. Firestone paid for the rest of the parts to be fixed so I could have AC after a month of waiting. I would not reccoment Griffis Automotive, take your car to the dealership or firestone, it will be cheaper.Posted on Google![]()

Our 2022 Chevy equinox had 60,000 miles, and needed a tune up. Then we started to get a service parking brake and brake assist periodically. The dealer where we bought the car said that it would take 3 to 5 days to diagnose the problem. Why, I don’t’ know. So I called Griffi’s since they was close to our house, and schedule an appointment. In at 8 am, Luis called me at 9:30, diagnosed the issue ( failed battery) and told me that was the problem. So he replaced the battery, and performed the tune up., and by 4:30 I had the car back. The first morning I drove to work, I immediately noticed how much more acceleration the car had. Then today I got a call from the owner asking me if the car was fine. That is what I call good customer service.Posted on Google![]()

Being unfamiliar with auto repair shops in the area, I read reviews on different ones, and took a chance on Grffis Automotive Clinic in Groveland. I soon realized I had made the right choice. Bailey Griner was my first contact, and took care of me from the start. He took me to a local car rental agency that they work with, and was very upfront and prompt in keeping me updated as to my estimated repairs on my car.He worked directly with my insurance company and helped me to resolve my issues. I would highly recommend Griffis Automotive and Bailey Griner to anyone needing an honest shop to work with.Posted on Google![]()

I called and made an appointment for my 2022 Ram 3500 dually for a transmission service and a fuel system service. I dropped it off that morning and was told I would get a call with an estimate before noon. That call came before noon. Truck was ready before they closed. I picked it up the next morning. Everything they told me, they did. Everyone was real nice and professional. When I need service in the future I will call them. Thank you.
Your check engine light is the warning signal for problems the onboard computer or ECU detects. The ECU continuously monitors all its interconnected systems as your car runs and drives.
As the sensors detect faults in the system, the computer assesses the situation and determines if it’s serious enough to set a code. If so, the ECU must also decide whether to turn on the dashboard lights.
Once the check engine light is on, you cannot simply turn it off. The ECU will keep turning it back on when the sensors detect faults, so you must resolve the underlying cause to turn off the light.
At our auto repair shop in Groveland, FL, our ASE-certified technicians take every dashboard light complaint seriously.
Our process starts with pulling and assessing the OBD-II codes. Using that data, we can determine which additional vehicle testing is needed to get to the root of the problem.
Once we fully diagnose the issue, our team will provide you with the findings and repair recommendations. You can then use that info to make excellent car care decisions and decide whether to proceed with the repairs.
Without diagnostics, you have to guess what’s causing your check engine light to come on.
That’s usually a bad idea unless you like spending far too much money on parts and labor.
Moving forward with vehicle diagnostics from the start makes it possible to find the cause of the issue and determine which repairs will likely resolve the issue in full. Rest assured that you’re on the right track and can confidently authorize the repairs.

The check engine light is on whenever your vehicle has a minor or major issue. However, it will only tell you that the system has detected a problem, not the cause or severity of the issue. Continuing to drive could result in catastrophic failure of the affected parts. If you’d rather not risk it, call for a tow to your trusted auto repair shop.
Is your check engine light shining brightly? If so, it’s time to visit Griffis Automotive Clinic. We’re here to perform the check engine light diagnostics and other testing procedures to determine the problem. Call us at (352) 243-2277 at your earliest convenience.
