The owner here sold my pregnant daughter with a family of six a lemon set an appointment with her to fix it and then ghosted her. She is now $5k in the hole and has a messed up car. The owner has made it very clear this is how he does business.

Unfortunately, things came up and we didn’t need a trailer anymore. BUT! Dave was super helpful at the time with all the info we asked for. Very quick in his responses! He followed up with me after a week just to hear that I don’t need the trailer anymore. He was very understanding and I am very positive that Dave will be the person I go to, when times change again and I would need to get a trailer. Thanks so much for your dedication, Dave!

Blew out 2 tires and required assistance. I had my vehicle towed to STAT. I was informed that replacement tires would be special ordered and vehicle would not be ready until following day. That was not a problem for me. I was about to order a Uber to take me home when I was offered a ride home. Received call following morning about 1000 stating vehicle was ready to be picked up. I own a tire and rim warranty, after speaking to the reps from warranty company I had to return to STAY office and ask them to supply the warranty company information. They assisted me immediately with this in order to expedite my reimbursement. I can't say enough good about this establishment. All the best and thanks for your support.

I heard about South Tampa Auto & Tire from the great reviews on Google and they weren’t lying! I’m a student down here alone and don’t know anything about cars or have anyone nearby to help me. As soon as I got there he put the car up and started looking at it. He was kind and efficient, telling me that what was leaking underneath was my A/C and not oil and then helped me repair the shield that was hanging loose down below very quickly. I will 100% be coming back to South Tampa Auto & Tire for any work my car needs done.

Great experience good work

I had been a loyal customer of South Tampa Auto and Tire since I moved to Tampa, FL back in 2019. Every service completed on my vehicle was satisfactory and without issue. Unfortunately, things change. In early August, it was discovered during a routine oil change at the dealership that my rear struts were shot. I received a quote for $2,000 to replace both. I felt that was extremely high and took my vehicle to my trusted mechanic, South Tampa Auto and Tire (STAT). I spoke with Manny after their assessment and it was determined that the rear struts were indeed shot. I was quoted a total cost (parts and labor) of $1632.45. Given my previous experience with STAT and the $400 savings, it was a no-brainer. In order to secure parts, I offered to pay $1000 in advance so that I could get the work done on a day that worked with my schedule. This was not required. I offered it up. Again, trust. On August 18th, the work was completed and the remainder of the balance was paid. Fast forward EIGHT DAYS. I began hearing/feeling strange noises in the front of the vehicle. Due to my location and not wanting to stress the vehicle, I took it to a nearby mechanic. It was determined that not only were the front struts now shot, but the NEWLY INSTALLED STRUTS were leaking and near failure. Stunned, I called STAT and spoke with Manny. On Monday, August 30th, I dropped off my vehicle to STAT. I watched the inspection and it was noted that the shock were leaking and replacements were needed. I politely requested a refund for the cost of parts ONLY. Had the rear struts failed after twelve months, I certainly would have exercised the warranty on the parts. However, after EIGHT DAYS, I had no confidence that a new set of the same parts would yield a different result. I did, however, offer to pay for the labor as that work was completed. Fair is fair. I was shocked to learn that STAT would NOT REFUND the cost of parts--a $1200 cost to me! I pursued with both Manny and the owner (whose name escapes). I was repeatedly denied the request of a parts refund. I decided to delete the expensive air shocks and go to a standard coil and strut system. STAT offered to install at their cost. Great. That did me no good. Now, I was into the parts for $2000! A free install did not move the needle at all. I couldn't believe the treatment I was receiving. I requested again to speak with the owner. He reached out ONE TIME...and left a voicemail. I'm a busy man and don't have the time to chase down an issue that I had NO FAULT IN. If they cared about customer service, they would have done more than ROB ME of $1632.45!!! Clearly, I opted to use the mechanic that identified the faulty parts to install the delete kit and have had no issues since. In all, I'm in to the repairs $3145 with not such as a word from STAT since the first attempt to contact me. I have no recourse now but to challenge the transaction with my credit card company OR to go to small claims court. Neither or which I have the time or energy to devote to. Shame on this company.

Really good service

These guys did a great job putting on my suspension upgrades and mounting my new tires. Quality work and local! My truck rides way better and the tires are balanced perfectly.

Feb 07, 2022

They are great mechanics that work there . I will return next time I'm in tampa.

Feb 07, 2022

I brought my work truck into South Tampa Auto and Tire and they were able to diagnose my issues and had me back on the road the same day. Highly recommend.

Feb 07, 2022

RIP OFF and UNFAIR!!! For a minute and half, I was charged half an hour labor just to look at the front brake pads and charged me $53. No disclose of the price or labor (just to see). I had my front brake pads installed by myself and just wanted to make sure installed right. There was nothing wrong whatsoever with the brakes,. Was I expecting FREE!!!!, NOT AT ALL. Usually, for the regular customers, such services are expected to be free and mostly if the work is required it covers the cost.

Feb 07, 2022

They treated me just fine

Feb 07, 2022

Today while on vacation, we stopped here after our truck's system, again said low pressure back driver's side tire. Again, we took it in for air. They were so polite and friendly, plus they didn't charge us anything. We tipped the overjoyed worker, said our thanks and happily went on our way without a problem. Now, that is customer service! Thanks again!
