Tampa Auto Repair

The work is always quick and courteous. They are straightforward and you can rely on them not to steer you wrong.

A completely trustworthy auto repair shop, something that's almost impossible to find. I've had work done here several times and there's never a hint of unnecessary work or a sales pitch to up-sell you.

They did a great job of getting me situated with new tires the same day I came in. Two days later, I got a nail in my tire and took it back to them for a $30 patch job. After getting that fixed, unfortunately we had issues with the programming of my car. They claimed it to be impossible to have affected the programming of the vehicle. What I can say is that my car programming was fine before having my tires changed and it was not after being worked on. I was not made aware of the extent of the service provided, rather that the work done was solely focused around tires. I was asked to bring back the car for re-programming. Having the issue arise from their shop, I did not feel comfortable having them attempt to fix computer programming. Not being told the scope of their abilities, I opted to take the car to a European specialist for repair. Now a $30 tire repair has turned into a $110 mistake that I am absorbing.

My coworkers and I are all heading over to Brazzeal's now for our auto needs. They are honest and quick. They didn't try to up-sell me or rip me off. I got exactly what I came in for, reasonably priced, and done in a timely manner.

I have taken my car here for years, but recently I found out they are under new ownership. I took my car in for an oil change and have never had an issue before. After my oil change was done I noticed a burning oil smell that lasted for more than a week. I took my car back and told them ever since the oil change I smell burning oil and never had notice anything like that before. I thought it was just burning excess oil. They looked at my car visually and said oh my gaskets might be going bad but I should be ok for a while. I left relieved, however the smell of oil continued, my friend suggested to take my car for another opinion, only to find out the oil pan bolt was not tight enough and was leaking oil all over!!! I was not to happy about this. In addition this place takes good year accounts but they don't take good year coupons.

Review: My car started overheating on the way to work. I had just moved to the south Tampa area and my previous, trustworthy mechanic in Brandon didn't have a recommendation for a place in the area. I took to Google and the reviews pointed to Brazzeals. I was pretty worried because I had recently replaced the radiator and hoses and didn't want to have someone tell me that it all had to be done again. I was pleasantly surprised, after a review of the cooling system they were able to determine it was just a faulty radiator cap. They could have easily told me a fabrication for a more expensive part and I may have paid it but because they were honest, they've earned a customer! It also helps very much, that they were courteous and communicated very often and professionally. I would them and will use them again. Thanks guys! Good Work!
