Excellent customer service! We had an urgent need after a road trip from Colorado and they got us right in and were very helpful in getting us taken care of. We left our daughter and the car here for college and we'll use them for any needs while she's here!

When was the last time you spent $4500 on auto repairs and felt good about it. Got a quote from Tim for a fuel system repair that came in at half of what the dealer gave.
Was so pleased with the outcome that I decided to have all of the life extending maintenance items I'd been putting off done as well.
It was a great experience, and exactly what I needed to remotely manage the repair for my USF student's vehicle.

Today, I heard a strange whining noise. Drove it to Tim. He heard the noise and immediately said, "It's the alternator." Then he checked it with his instruments. He knew I wouldn't make it home, so he fixed it immediately.
Expert certified, mechanic, very knowledgeable, doesn't try to sell you work you don't need. The main reason I go here is that I trust Tim.

Went here to have an AC issue checked out. Had concerns with previous work completed on the truck. I was expecting possible major AC work. Tim ran a battery of tests and kept me updated each time with the results and what they meant. After a bunch of tests the issue was a minor one and an easy fix. I could have been told I needed a new AC compressor and wouldn't have known any better. Very honest guy. I will surely be back for auto services here.

After researching mechanics in my area, I decided to call Tampa Bay Auto care due to their positive reviews.
Unfortunately, my experience wasn't as pleasant as the rest.
I spoke with Tim to only be asked, how I heard about him. Then he advised, appointments were two weeks out, then to, not taking new customers at all. He advised he would never get to go home if he took new customers and that he was over his head.
He offered me to call around to other mechanics or to take my vehicle to the dealer.
Thanks Tim! Great Experience!

Tim runs Tampa Bay Auto Care. I have developed a relationship with him as my car begins to "age", with the goal to get the car to a certain number of miles before having to buy a new car. Cars are depreciating assets, so my goal is to wring as much value as I can from my purchase. Tim get this and I think this is what makes his shop unique. Others here will talk about Tim as an excellent mechanic, which he is. The customer service and care is impeccable.
But Tim's secret value is that he understands a car's inherent value over a period of ownership and he will partner with you to come up with a long-term "health" plan for your car to maximize that. This plan will be budget proportionate to the expected worth of the car, matched to your pre-determined mileage goal and it will require you to set aside maintenance "budget" for necessary upkeep, of course. But within that framework, Tim will concentrate primarily on the essential(s) to get your car to your stated mileage finish line and he will help you walk the tightrope of making sure repair expenditures don't become a sunk cost that outstrips the value of the car. This is HUGE for people who are looking to extract maximum value from their car purchase over "X" years. It requires clear communication on your part and an understanding this is not an exact science. But if you're flexible with that, Tim offers a strategic "plan" for managing the lifetime of repairs on your car, that no other place I know of even thinks about.

When Tampa Bay Auto Care came up on a Google search and had a 5 STAR rating, I was skeptical. But I'm a believer now.
I'm 77 old and have had many vehicles worked on over the years. Tampa Bay Auto Care is the first one I have driven away from with 100% confidence that everything had been done properly and that I had not been ripped off in one way or another.

I've been bringing my vehicle to Tim for a few years now. He is the most honest mechanic that I've met and you can tell that he cares for your car like it was his own. I had to get my mom's car serviced here (she lives over 2 hours away) when local shops didn't bother to look into the issue she was having with her vehicle. Highly recommend Tampa Bay Auto Care. Tim provides quality work and customer service!
