Grate guys

Auto had a major oil leak and on short notice Bill took my car in and the job was completed in less than a day. Outstanding in every way from start to finish. Everyone was courteous and professional. Bill's is where I will take my car in the future for any maintenance and repairs. My car was thoroughly inspected and everything was explained to me. Thank you. A++++

My fatherโ€™s 2017 Subaru Outback needed a transmission fluid replacement and a system relearn urgently so I contacted Bill over the phone asking if he could help us. Bill was very friendly and accommodating allow us to tow the vehicle the next day and fit us in his schedule at opening. The repair service was successful and my father has been driving the Outback across Florida with no transmission issues since. Thank you!

We got stranded on i75 near Gainesville and had our car Towed here. Bill runs a family owned business, they are very knowledgeable about transmissions, they took the time to run a diagnosis on our vehicle, and explain what our options were. Bill goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and will go the extra mile to ensure you get a fair quote. Although we didn't get our car fixed here, Bill let us keep the car there overnight and was just really cool about everything!

Extremely professional and welcoming repair shop! I'm very thankful I was fit in both times my car needed service unexpectedly. I think the prices are fair as well. As a woman, I didn't feel intimidated coming in, as Bill is very friendly and good at explaining what issues are and why/how they happen. I will be coming here for any future vehicle needs.

Went to Bill's for info on my transmission not functioning as it should. Called in the morning and they fit me in when they were able to. I waited less than an hour for a free diagnosis and estimate of cost of services. The employees were friendly and professional, thank you guys for your time and honest work. Though I haven't had any actual work done here yet, I trust that my car would be in good hands from my experience.



reviewiconThanks Bill!!! I'm bringing you my cars for life man!

Bill replaced my transmission for less than half what Aamco quoted me, threw in a front axle, let me make payments on it since it was a big job, and even let me take it home so I could drive it for work while I was still paying the work off!! I was so worried with the current market I was completely screwed, with a bill so high. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am he worked with me so much on this!! I never would have been able to get this done without him being so generous!!

Had a front wheel bearing problem diagnosed another shop. They wanted $512 to fix it. Another shop said they could do it for $350. These guys are fixing me up for $265 and it will be done in about an hour and a half.

A+ service with honest owner and employees! Explains everything needed and recommend what should be done in near future if you can't afford it in the moment..will only fix what's needed and not overcharge or do anything unnecessary! We've been having a lot of problems with other garage's and even dealerships overcharging for work not needed etc. This place was recommended to us and we would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone else. They do a lot more than just transmission work here..and are great mechanics.. definitely give them a call first so they can check out your vehicle..Honest places like this are hard to come by these days..and Their work is A+..professional/ respectful owner and employees. We'll be bringing our families vehicles here from now on!

When the transmission gave out on our van near Gainesville, just 3 hours before reaching our destination for vacation, a local mechanic recommended Bill's Low Cost Transmission. Within an hour of contacting Bill, he had arranged to have the van towed to his shop, and he immediately checked it out. After we decided to leave it there for repair, Bill himself took us to a nearby car rental agency so that we could rent a vehicle and continue on to our destination. Although the repairs took a day longer than initially indicated, exactly one week later the work was completed, and we were able to pick up our van. Bill asked us to stop by the shop on our way back home so that they could check things over once more before we drove another 14 hours home, which we did (it was a quick 20 minute stop, and we were on the road again). Our van has operated well ever since, and we're very thankful that we were directed to Bill's Low Cost Transmission and would highly recommend the shop.

I recently bought a used car that had something going on with the transmission. I check with a couple of other shops before I found Bills. He honestly diagnosed the car and found that the problems were mostly engine related. He cleaned my fuel system, added a treatment to help the torque converter and did a full tune-up and the price was really fare for the work that he did. I'll definitely be a return customer since he has a full automotive repair shop as well as doing transmissions. If you go to Bills once you'll be a return customer as well. He's good people!

I have been using Bill's for several years for a couple of different cars (one I'm currently using ) for commercial use. Bills is a shop that I can trust to diagnose and fix my car accurately. He fixes what is wrong with the car and doesn't try to replace extra parts in the car like some of them are doing nowadays. (He saves me money) Bill's also completes the work in a timely manner, and understands that I need my vehicle back right away to go to work. Thank you Bill's!

I have trusted Bill with all of our auto service and maintenance care since our kids were students at UF back in 2002. Bill's is honest and provides quality auto care at a fair price. I regularly recommend Bill's Low Cost Auto Repair to friends and newcomers to the community.

I highly recommend Bill's Low Cost Transmissions & Automotive Repair. I travel about 50,00 miles a year on sales calls and have had 2 transmissions replaced. All repairs within the last 3 years. One on a 2005 Food Expedition and a 2013 Nissan Rouge. I even had estimates from a total of 3 professional places and dealerships and Bill had the best pricing and time frame. Repairs where professional and done on time. You have nothing to lose, but cash out of your pocket, if you don't at least get an estimate from Bill.

My 2014 Journey just rolled over to 100,000 miles. Now I figured I had some more time left/miles. Well no. Took her to Mr. Bill...rebuilt the trans, new spark plugs, new filters all. New brakes and calipers. New car you say...did not want the payments. Mr. Bill was very informative and also stated I am to bring her in after 200 miles to make sure everything is working properly. I called incessantly but he was always nice and understanding. They are super busy. Bill's Low-Cost Transmission was recommended by 2 mechanic friends. I will recommend for sure. If you have major problems like me...it will take awhile. So be patient. Thanks Bill!

While they did take a little longer than expected to get my truck's transmission done I wouldn't complain with the work. They told me about some other potential issues that could be fixed at home and when I took my truck back today for them to see how it was holding up (they asked me to bring it back for free for them to drive to see how it's doing) it only took about 15 minutes. They were a little slow getting it done, but for starters they seemed a bit understaffed. Price was great and they were always friendly and patient with me and my phone calls.

Bill is an honest mechanic. I found him through AAA, after a horrible experience in Atlanta, at a AAA repair center. He explained what happened and rebuilt our transmission. We live an hour away, and have continued to use Bill's. It is well worth the drive. He is patient and explains things that needs to be done and if you don't understand he explains it again. :) We really appreciate having an honest mechanic.
