I can't say enough great things about this business! I recently bought new tires from them at a very fair price. A few weeks later my check pressure light kept coming on. It turns out I had a screw in my almost brand new tire. Even though they didn't have to, they patched me up for free and sent me on my way! So grateful for this locally-owned business and their incredible customer service. - Celeste G.

I have known Richard (Ritchie) for his whole life and he is a hard working, honest, Christian person. His work is always complete and done right. My late husband felt the same way - if he needed his vehicle repaired he would call him and was pleased with the outcome. He has always been dependable even as a youngster. He well deserves to win The Gainesville Sun Readers Choice Award for Auto Repair - Independent. - Fay H.

Nobody - I mean nobody wants a high repair bill. Ever! So why ignore the easy things like filters and fluids? Here at Archer Automotive & Diesel Repair our Archer drivers know that their car and truck’s filters are important to the longevity of that vehicle as well as the interior comfort. Maximize your car investment by replacing filters regularly. The oil filter traps contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. The fuel filter separates harmful contaminants that may cause problems with carburetors or intricate fuel injectors. The air filter traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons and piston rings. The air filter also plays a role in keeping contaminants off the airflow sensor (in fuel-injected cars). The cabin filter helps trap pollen, bacteria and dust that may find their way into a car’s ventilation system. Keeping the filters and fluids changed regularly is simply a win-win solution!
