Fast, reasonable, convenient, thorough. Car had some major issues which they were able to pinpoint and address. Will definitely be using Action Gator again for repairs as well as tires.

I dont like leaving bad reviews. I know they are subjective and can be taken out of context to sound worse than they are sometimes. But in this case I just dont have a choice. We brought our car in because we were having an over heat light, and b losing water in the radiator. They replaced the radiator, and we also had the brakes done and new bearings in the front. A month later I have also had to replace the thermostat, the spark plugs, coils and cables...and we still have the overheat spike and warning lights. And are told there is nothing we can do about them. No one can figure out what is causing it, but the car is working right and safe to drive. That was Tuesday.Cut to today, just left my house, less that 200 yards of driving and I get a loud bang, my dash lights come on and I have steam coming from under the hood.Drive to action gator, open my hood and we find my belt is off, fan peices are laying on the engine, and water is pouring from underneath.I am having a real hard time believing that there are this many coincidental things happening to my car st one time. Lost work, upset employer that I once again have car issues, $2400 and my car is worse than when we brought it in.The only reason they got two start is they have been very nice about the whole thing, even refunded $350 or we would be at just under 3k. But nice goes only so far when my car gets worse every time I go back.

Action Gator Tires is an excellent place to get your car serviced. I took my car by there recently because I had a flat tire. They took me right away, were extremely friendly and professional and fixed it on the spot. I highly recommend them for your car service.

Convenient location in Winter Park, FL area. It seems they are always able to work you in a timely manner. I have stopped by on a few occasions for help and recommendations, one for a large nail repair in my brand new truck and an alignment check on my wife’s vehicle and they get it done and never up sell you on something you don’t need. I will keep going back with my 3 vehicles. Brian is great!

It would have been nice if they could have put the spare/donut tire where it belonged instead of just throwing it in the back. Oh well ....

Brian and his crew handled business above and beyond the call of duty. Aside from having the tires when Firestone did not. He also gave excellent intel on how to fix the donut issue. An idea I may have never came close to thinking of. Also Chris out back just gave off a good vibe. Top shelf guys.

A man answered the phone after one ring. I needed two tires that were no longer being made to match two tires on my car. They had the tires in their warehouse and charged me $100 less than I paid for the 2 tires I bought six months ago. They put the tires on my car the day after I called Action Gator Tire. The waiting room was large with couches, padded chairs, TV, drinks, snacks, magazines and individual desks. The tires were installed in a timely manner. The men who worked there were nice to me--an old, white haired woman.

Went for a oil change and got the oil change that part was good. But we left and my key mod was broken and the mechanic who did the oil change lied about breaking it. They didnt call back in the morning like they said they was and the mechanic changed my environmental controls in the van.

Review №18

Nice staff. No mask worn during the service experience. Went for an alignment but they said it did need one. Recommended that I get my front toe straighten which may have been causing my car to drift. It didn’t resolve the issue ultimately so now I’m having to take it to the manufacturer. Wish they would’ve done a bit more in-depth analysis of what the issue was before I paid $100 for something that didn’t correct the issue. Not helpful. I’d recommend if you use them to make sure you ask if a recommended repair will ACTUALLY fix the issue. If not just take it to the manufacturer. It may be more expensive but you’ll probably save money in the long run and actually get your car repaired.

Second time coming to this location. Third time dealing w action gator tire total. This particular location has an awesome staff and a comfortable lounge area. My service advisor Shaun was very nice and honest. I would recommend coming to this location if you like to chill and watch Netflix while you wait. I just watched 3 episodes of Frazier and honestly didn’t want to leave when my truck was done. Thank you shaun and the boys at Action Gator Tire for getting me in and out in a timely manner. I will be back!!!

I have had my fleet of vehicles serviced at this location for the past 15 years or so . . and the service has been Exceptional !! The team has diagnosed complex issues with my Jeeps, muscle cars, and economy / daily drivers . . at no charge for the diagnosis . . just parts and labor.With every oil change, they perform a multi-point inspection of the vehicle . . at no charge . . and advise me accordingly.And they have outfitted my fleet of vehicles with the proper tires . . to insure my safety out on the highway !!Thus, I highly recommend the Action Gator Team !! . .

Review №34

Good service and all. Just felt like I was being charged for everything. Labor expense for changing tires after I bought two tires, then there’s the disposable tire fee, the balancing fee (usually included when you buy new tires). I only needed one but decided to get two because I was told one would be $95 and two would be $79.99 per. All in all, my bill came out to $235.00. That’s $75 in other stuff. I know times are tough during covid so I just left but come on man. 🤨

Honest feedback from the employees here. Didnt try to over sell me on products or services. Very friendly and positive experience. They also corrected a balance issue 2 other shops couldnt.

Tires rotated but they did not check what the tire pressure should be. My tires after the rotation, too low in back and too high in front I guess they assume all tires are the same pressure

I came in to this shop, needing a repair to my tire. I was in a hurry and although the guys were busy with other jobs, the man at the counter greeted me and helped me right away. They really took care of me, did the job well, fast and got me on the road again. I want to thank Travis SO MUCH for your service today. It was exceptional and so appreciated! Made my day!

Truck needed extensive front end repairs. They provided an accurate assessment for what I had suspected needEd repaired.

Review №59

Gator 🐊 action tire on Fairbanks in the Winter Park Location is the best! Let me start off by saying, this location goes above & beyond to assist their customers! I also want to mention that they do much more than tires, batteries & oil changes! I wanted to also make note, that when no one else believed me that my Lexus was “driving weird”. They got to the bottom of things & found out my tires that were put on at a different company was the incorrect size! Travis is the best! If you are looking for an honest location - look no further! 🤩 5 ⭐️ all the way!

This shop has friendly employees and expert mechanics. They are honest and offer fair prices and good advice when faced with multiple repairs. I have been to several mechanics trying to figure out a suspension problem with my car and mechanic Ben spotted it right away. Then, the manager really went out of his way to find the parts and get my car to a safe condition. I really appreciate all they did for me! #highlyrecommended

Excellent customer service as always! My car 🚗 was having trouble starting & they literally tested everything throughly time make sure it wasn’t a major part such as the battery 🔋, starter, starter rely, alternator, engine etc. When they found the problem which was my fuel ⛽️ exhaust system was clogged extremely bad they recommended the cleaning of the entire system which worked because my car has been running good ever since! They explained everything to me well and I completely understood what was going on.

Review №67

They are thorough, helpful, and friendly. They could have sold me 4 tires but told me that I had at least a year on 2 of them - they didnt over-sell just because they could. They took a quick once over for me before I drove to Georgia without charge (I tipped the service person as a thanks), and told me that I might have warranty left on the battery that was going out - sending me to the original store, first, before the sometimes pressured sale I have experienced at other places. This type of honesty shows character that seems to he missing in many locations. Go and see them ~ you wont be disappointed!

Customer Service at its Best!After checking another tire shop and not being able to get serviced, I thankfully stumbled across this place. Robert and the staff were able to get my car serviced as soon as I pulled in. They went above and beyond repairing one of my tire, checking all other tires for wear, and even switching out one of my brake lights as a perk. Action Gator Tire is a knowledgeable, honest, and reliable company. I will definitely be returning for future auto service needs!

This is a group of miracle workers. They fixed ongoing issues with my wheel bearings and my tires in under 1 day and had me back on the road for my roadtrip right on time. My car is driving like new (which is crazy considering its 16 years old). I have been going to a home mechanic for years out of fear of being over charged and under serviced at a car repair shop but Action Gator Tire has resolved that fear. I will come to them for any issues I have with my car! :)

Robert and Scott are both very knowledgeable about many different types of cars. They have always taken the time to explain things thoroughly to me and actually show me the parts they are talking about and how they work. Today, I came in without an appointment to have them check my tires because I thought I had a leak. Not only did they fill up my tires but did a very quick repair on a nail that had gotten in and was causing problems. This was exceptionally helpful because not only did they give me a good deal but they were very quick so my two young children didn’t have to wait any longer than necessary at the store. Thank you again gentlemen! I recommend this location to everyone!

Valve on my truck broke on my way to school & their convenient hours allowed me to drop it off and pick it up lunch and they found my tpn sensor was also broken and I couldn’t afford to fix it for the 6 th time on that tire so they helped me out and plugged it instead and fixed the valve ($15 value) and then when I went to pay ... the man didn’t charge me ! They helped me so much today & the not having to pay was just the icing on the cake ...Couldn’t be anymore thankful! And the staff were all friendly and very helpful!! I would definitely go back again! Thank you again Action Gator Tire Winter Park !

Shout out to Action Gator Tire in Winter Park. It is never fun when you are driving and your car sensor tells you one of your tires is very low on air! Travis took me right in with a smile and had me back up and running in 20 minutes!! I definitely recommend them if in the area as their competitors are usually too busy to help. Thank you for making my day, Travis!!
