Orlando Shops

I live in Orlando and am looking for a non-dealer shop for service, repairs, etc. I have looked at the prior threads and it looks like there is plenty in South Florida and Tampa but nothing here. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure where to direct you. I know your trying to stay away from dealers, but Classic Mazda on Semoran is known to have good reputation. They just recently hosted Mazdapalooza! It's where I take my 8 when I've had any problem.....Ask for Betsey and she'll hook you up.

You can also check out cflrx8club.com for more localized information.

I have had good experiences with Classic on Semoran. They have never really come across as suspicious or underhanded. I would just like some kind of objective source of information as to what repair costs what and whether I am getting hosed. Perfect example, my fuel pump died last week. I had to take it (via tow) to Corey Fairbanks. They told me that they HAD TO drop my fuel tank to take a look inside, to the tune of $300 extra dollars. I just hate the feeling that they are lying.

that price is crazy. and you dont have to drop the tank.. the change is pretty simple..

what is the year and mileage of the car? btw, some of us locals might be able to help.. and i have had very good dealings with both classic, and cory fairbanks.

heh. The rear driver side seat lifts up, and under it is a metal plate. Remove 4 screws to take off a metal plate, and under that is the pump. You unscrew the top, and out comes the fuel pump! Takes about 5 minutes to do. And once the fuel pump is out, you can see inside the fuel tank.
