AAMAC Auto Electric's yellow cinderblock shop at 508 NW 8th Ave, painted Alternator and Starter Specialists, Serving Gainesville Since 1968, above the open garage bays
Family-owned since 1968

The wall at 508 NW 8th Ave has said Serving Gainesville Since 1968 for longer than most of our customers have been driving.

AAMAC Auto Electric is still the family business our father started: alternators, starters, batteries and A/C, checked for free and quoted before anyone touches a wrench.

A family shop, since 1968.

AAMAC Auto Electric started in 1968, when our father opened the shop at 508 NW 8th Ave in Gainesville. On the shop's own words: “We are a local, family owned business established in 1968! Business was founded by our father!”

Almost sixty years later, it is still true. The building is the same yellow cinderblock it always was, painted with “Alternator & Starter Specialists” and “Serving Gainesville Since 1968” across the front, and a sign board by the road still lists what is inside: Alternators, Starters, Batteries, A/C. It is still owner-operated, still at the same address, and still answering the same phone number customers have called for decades.

How the shop still works.

Every car, truck, boat or tractor that comes in gets a free check of its electrical system first. You hear what is wrong and what it costs before anyone picks up a wrench, so there is no guessing at the counter and no surprise when you come back for the keys. It is the same approach whether the fix is a blown fuse or a full charging system: check it, price it, then do the work.

Refurbished alternators, starters and batteries come out of the same shop, built by the same technicians, and backed by a 1-year warranty on parts and 90 days on labor. Batteries are covered too, and the shop's own line on it has always been straightforward: quality parts, without the big price tag. AAMAC operates under Florida motor vehicle repair license MV 9734, is open Mon-Fri: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM, and holds a 4.7 rating from 178 Google reviews.
