Griffis Automotive is easily the most skilled, reliable, and honest vehicle repair shop in Lake County (and probably beyond). If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a favor and take your vehicle there.

My family has used Griffiss Automotive for over a decade. Work and service is great, staff is professional and easy to deal with and the pricing is more than fair for the services provided.

I ended up taking my 2020 Lexus RC in to Griffths because my dealership told me I needed a repair and it was going to cost over $3k! I was concerned it was an over diagnosis and the techs at Griffiths explained what the dealership repair was and why it was recommended. But they also shares it wasn’t a dire situation and would cost leas than $1k with them. Their honesty and fairness will have me back again as a customer and recommendation to friends and family for a fair auto service experience.

Do not go here, this place will tell you they can do something and not actually do it then charge you for it and on top of that do work you never approved. Over $300 for an alignment that I went in for, and brake pads that I didn’t approve. Received a call asking about my experience and told them what happened, was told someone would call back and never received a call. Don’t trust anything the worker Bailey says to you, he’s the one that promised a service he couldn’t do and still demanded pay

Is there ever a good time for AC failure in Florida? I’m sure you know the answer is no. As someone who spent more than 15 years working at various car repair shops, of course I felt uneasy taking my daughters vehicle to someone else’s repair shop. But I am not in the shop any longer. Well thanks to Luis and his team my daughter’s car has a new AC system and her ride is comfortable again. It was quick and Luis was sure that the line of communication is always open. Thank you for taking a great care of our car. We’ll be back, hopefully not too soon😉

I was on a road trip, 300 miles from home and 550 miles from my destination. After waiting 3+ hours for a tow truck (not their fault), the folks here took really good care of my 4Runner and got me back on the road that evening. What really impressed me was that about 5 days later, they called to make sure there were no lingering issues with my vehicle. When I returned home from my trip, I received a postcard from them simply thanking me for my business. I stress simple, but it speaks volumes when a business genuinely shows gratitude toward their customers. Although I HOPE I never need to take my vehicle there again, if I breakdown on another roadtrip, I would prefer to be within towable distance to this shop.

I have believed for most of my life, that an honest mechanic did not exist. I am 60 years old. But after taking my car to Griffis Automotive, I can from my heart say, I have found the one. Thank for taking good care of my car and being fair with your pricing. I will definitely be back.

Signs You Need Engine Repair

When your check engine light shines brightly, you know it’s time for an auto repair. But sometimes, the problem is more subtle than that, leaving you having to look for the signs.

Common signs you need engine repair services include:

Whenever you feel like your car just doesn’t run right, it’s best to contact our trusted auto repair team. We can handle all the engine repairs on your personal vehicles or entire fleet so that you can get back on the road fast.

What Are The Most Common Causes Of A Blown Engine?

The most common cause of a blown engine is damage from overheating, followed by low motor oil levels. Catastrophic engine damage can also occur due to broken timing belts, misfires, and other preventable problems. Keep up with your preventative maintenance to avoid a blown engine.

Can You Drive With A Faulty Engine?

You shouldn’t drive a car that has engine problems. Poor engine performance, bad fuel efficiency, or just having a check engine light on are all signs that you need to get to your local auto repair shop.

Consider calling for a tow if you’re unsure if driving is safe.

When to Go with an Engine Replacement Instead

When catastrophic engine damage occurs, repairs are only sometimes a viable solution. Our team will always do what we can to save your engine, but sometimes, it’s better to go with an engine replacement. We source all our replacement engines from Jasper, a leader in the remanufactured engine, transmission, and differential industry. Our Groveland auto repair shop is also a preferred Jasper installer, so you know you’ll always get the best quality of service and support.

Is It Worth Rebuilding A Bad Engine?

When internal damage arises, engine replacements are your best bet. Rebuilding the engine will typically cost far more in parts and labor than a quality engine replacement. Save the engine rebuilds for rare powerplants in collector vehicles and get a replacement for commuters and fleet vehicles.

BENEFITS OF PREVENTATIVE ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Often, major engine issues can be prevented by completing all the factory-recommended maintenance services on time. From oil changes and tune-ups to timing belt replacements and cooling system flushes, each service helps protect the parts in your motor from excessive wear and damage.

If you’re unsure when to come in, ask our team for help. We’ll follow your carmaker’s service interval recommendations to create a preventative maintenance schedule that suits your needs. Then, we’ll complete all your maintenance as needed using quality parts and fluids.
