Jay's Auto Repair

Feb 05, 2025

Still don't know what he replaced. Didn't tell me the estimate ahead of time. Didn't put the invoice in the car for pickup (I paid $800 over the phone). I can't get a copy of the invoice they keep giving me the run around. It was a security issue with the car, the key fob prevented the car from turning over. I'm guessing he replaced the mobilizer but I'm not sure. He couldn't even tell me the name of the part when we spoke about it. Says his assistant will give me an invoice. I've called for this invoice at least 10 times.

Excellent Service! I’ve had Jay work on my cars for years, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain the issue with my car and offered honest recommendations. The repairs are done quickly, and my car is running smoothly again. The pricing was fair or better than most competitors and I really appreciated his transparency throughout the process. There have been time when he would fix parts of my car free of charge. It's rare to find such reliable and trustworthy mechanics these days, and I will definitely be returning for any future car needs. Highly recommend!

So grateful for Jay’s Auto Repair. He saved the day. Not certain who these other reviewers worked with but deal with the owner and you will have no issues! Great price for the services rendered.

I’m sorry if you are reading this and already took your car here. I feel your pain. DO NOT take your care here no matter how desperate you get. This guy messed my truck up bad. I spend over 5k with him and the car still wasn’t fixed properly. I had to take it to a Chevy dealer. They fixed it correctly. Don’t trust him at all! He doesn’t give you new parts. He cleans up the old ones. And puts them back in. Biggest scam and most dishonest.

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE! He came recommended from a relative. We dropped our vehicle off in the beginning of November for an engine replacement. 3 months later he gives it back to us and it drove terribly. Kept wanting to shut off. He tells me "well you drove it away". Yes we drove it home because it was a Friday at the end of the day and he didnt answer his phone, so we took it back that Monday. So we take it back to him to fix what he didn't do. He said for the troubles he will replace a part for us unrelated to the engine at no charge. That was 3 weeks ago. He has not done anything to the vehicle because he says he has no mechanic. He does not answer the phone when you call. His words were "what do you want me to do, I have no mechanic and its not fixed". So in total he has had our car for 4 months and still doesnt run right even though we paid him in full. We even paid some upfront. Like i said do not bring your car here, he is terrible. Nice to your face but does not do the work and returns it to you not running correctly. He gave every excuse known to man of why it wasnt done. We will be picking it up and taking it elsewhere to finish getting it fixed.

Honestly so grateful for Jay’s help. I was a little hesitant because I didn’t know him yet but he had the best deal for me! I had a blown head gasket and it took a couple extra days to fix but the wait was worth it! She runs like new again! Thank you Jay!!!

I am very satisfied with Jay's work. He got recommended to me by a friend, and I'm happy I did go. He did a great job fixing my ac and my abs sensor. He called my car a miracle car because it was messed up, lol. I'm happy he was able to fix it. I took my car to a mechanic before him and all he did was take my money but jay on the other had was very professional and knew what he was doing... definitely coming back with any future issues

Feb 07, 2024

I bet the last 2 reviews is made up people !!! It’s know why in hell someone will give this man 5stars , Jay is not a good person at all and his business is horrible

Feb 07, 2024

Jay is amazing guy. He fixed both of my vehicles. Also honor warranty. On two occasions I had parts that failed. He took care of it without any hesitation. He does not up charge you like other Mechanic.

Feb 07, 2024

Probably one of the worst mechanics I've experienced. Did more flirting than actually fixing my car. Now I have to take it to another mechanic and pay for work he said he did and to top it off he too had my car for a month stating he had to order the part off Amazon because it's a special part.

The best mechanic in the world

Feb 07, 2024

This guy ruined me how can you guys sit here and say nice things about this guy he messed my car up and didn’t feel no way about it I hate this guy

Feb 07, 2024

Very rude unprofessional attitude I recieved from Jay as soon as I first arrived to have my power window repaired. Jay charged me a different price than what he first quoted me a few days earlier. Won't ever come back!

Great guy, quick service, got me in and out in a few hours at a reasonable price.

Feb 07, 2022

Jay is a good man who works very hard to take care of his customers! He is a man of God and you can always count on him to do the right thing. He has done numerous jobs for me including changing engines on 2 of my cars and they both turned out perfect. I highly recommend him for all your auto repairs.

Jay is a very shady auto mechanic. I took my van to him in hopes that he would repair it to full working condition even paid him the full amount up front. He kept my van for over a month and claimed he was working on it however I showed up several times and he was not working on it. This caused me to loose out on a full month of business because it is a work vehicle. When he finally started to fix my vehicle he put a used part on it rather than a brand new one claiming the part was more than what it was worth. We were over charged and the van is still not in full working condition. I do not recommend anyone using this mechanic. Also don’t pay in cash only use a card it is how he tries to get over on people.

Jay's the man!!

Feb 07, 2022

Mr Jay is the best and most honest auto repair in Tampa

Very rude. Shout at their customers and take advantage of them. He crushed my car and told that he was gonna do it for free because he is a good man. He is not. He “change made and oil change and less than a month i needed a new one. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR IN HIS HAND, I DO NOT RECCOMEND. BEWARE
