Automotive News & Information - Computa Tune

If you drive a Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, Land Rover, or other luxury or performance vehicle, you’re no stranger to the bells and whistles of the modern automobile. For the past couple of decades, these cars have nearly all been equipped with ABS, or Anti-lock Braking Systems. You may never think about ABS - until the light comes on the dashboard.

Excellent shop with friendly staff and really fair pricing. They actually make an effort to make sure the customer is happy rather than just doing the minimum asked. We’ve used them twice while in Gainesville and were very happy both times. Thank you!

I went to this shop today after reading all the awesome reviews and having a bad experience at another shop in town that charged me 3x more and didn't fix the issue. After doing research I felt like I knew what I was talking about. They swapped out my part and replaced the fuel injector for half of what the other shop was going to charge me for the same parts and work. I will definitely be taking my truck back here and recommending them!

Trustworthy, friendly, and dependable workmanship. I have an older vehicle that continues to run like new thanks to these folks. I know that Kevin and his team will do the work that is needed at an affordable price. I never worry that I will be taken advantage of. Super shop and would recommend to everyone.

Honest, reasonably priced repair shop. Kevin and everyone was friendly and professional. I took my car to be repaired with the part to be installed. Kevin mentioned the part wasn't needed and that was not the cause of the issue. They explain what is needed, why, and the price. I recommend Computa Tune Complete Auto Repair.

I've been here multiple times. I highly recommend them. Fairly priced and honest people. Great mechanics. Work is done fairly quickly. They are my favorite mechanics to go to. Can't say enough good things about a good business.

Your car data owned by manufacturers now

Newer Vehicles Generate as Much As 25GB of Data/Hour according to McKinsey. Now That is Extremely Interesting! It is also daunting as we now need to know "what data" right? You also want to know where it is going if anywhere and who owns the data? All interesting questions that we never thought about. Just get in and drive, choose a destination and if a light goes off in the dash you call us here at Computa Tune to schedule an appointment. We want our Gainesville drivers to be informed as always and able to make their choices based on having facts. This is a big change in the automotive-truck service industry and it really has not hit the news at all, so it is up to us to get you up-to-date and informed. Here are the facts and where you can find more information!

There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV, or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop, you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!

It is a law that independent automotive repair shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicle's warranty or a vehicle's extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.

Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads, and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

One of the major perks of bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.

Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.

Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV, or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!
