Could not have asked for better service. Was on interstate when alternator started going out. Amanda got us worked in and alternator replaced within an hour. Would highly recommend this place! Thanks so much for taking care of us so quickly! Our German Shepherd appreciates it too!

A local gem in Alachua. Our 4Runner overheated on I-75 just after 5 PM. City Boys was still open and said they would be happy to help if we could make it in by 6. We limped in and sure enough, the owner Eric showed me the large crack in our radiator. He gave what I thought was a VERY fair quote and said he could have a replacement delivered first thing in the morning. We had to stay overnight in a hotel, but Eric gave me a ride to and from so I never needed an UBER. We were on our way with a new radiator by noon. I can't express enough what a pleasant, professional experience this was. Eric's wife and daughter both handle the register/front of the shop and were great. Thank you City Boys for making what everyone dreads when they are traveling (a breakdown in a distant place) and turning it into an enjoyable event. My truck is running great, by the way!!

Rip offs. Highest priced around. Don't make the mistake of bringing your vehicle here.Thousand dollars later and I get my car back with system failure on my traction control and 4wd.

I dropped my vehicle off at 11A for a noon appointment(oil change). Went back at 3P to pick the vehicle up and it hadn’t been serviced it. Was told that it was being loaded onto the rack and would only take 30 minutes. Asked for my keys back and left.

These guys are honestly SO nice. I pulled in to the side and Eric came out and saw that I was an older, disabled lady and I told him I thought my right blinker wasn't working. He went to the back and pulled it out and in 5 minutes he had it replaced and I asked him how much was it and he just grinned and walked away. Amazing! Thank you Eric!

Much better than nearby locations. Appointments always seem to available within 1-2 days, if not the same day you call, and oil changes take them maybe an hour, hour and a half tops, which is nothing compared to what other City Boys locations put me through.

Every service I ever had done here has gone smoothly. One thing is for certain, they take care of 1st Responders and Military/Veterans.

These people are honest mechanics and they won't try to scam you. I came here to get a second opinion about a quote I got to fix my rear suspension and they told me I didn't need it and all I need is a coolant flush, an air filter and an engine mount.This guy has so many long time clients he even remembers their first name and I will keep coming here as long as I am in Gainesville. If you want an honest mechanic who won't swindle you then come to this place!

Nasty people. I went in with an appointment for an oil change and they wanted me to wait over 40 minutes. I said that seems a bit long, and they immediately became nasty and rude, which is apparently their local reputation. I drove 1 mile and found a lovely shop that got me in and out for a reasonable price without the lip and nastiness. No wonder they're dead and empty-- they're too nasty for anyone to tolerate going there. Why would I trust such nasty people with my car?

Every time I go to this place I'm amazed. The first visit was for my 98 S-10. The AC was not cooling. I asked them to service the system. They said they would fill it with dyed Freon and I could bring it back in a week so they could identify the leak. I asked what that would cost me. They said I can pay for the leak to be fixed if they found one, but otherwise I owed nothing. Tires Plus on 39th couldn't do an alignment without leaving the steering wheel turned 45 degrees from center. I brought it to City Boys and they did it in 15 minutes. Just had my wife's car tires all replaced. Took maybe half an hour. They offer free puncture repair if you get tires there. Always polite. Always trust worthy.

I worked there and they don't pay their employees correctly. Constantly getting shorted on paychecks. other employees take unnecessary short cuts on customers cars no one is ASE certified in the shop but me when I was there. would not recommend taking a vehicle to them.

Traveling late on 75 and got a nail in my tire. City boys were the best and stayed open late to help us. Highly recommend- there are still good people out there!

This place is about as fair as you can get for car repairs. The prices are competitive and Diane is super kind and helpful.
