What an awesome experience. Kept informed of progress on a very timely basis I live in West Chapel and it’s worth the drive to get this kind of service Customer for life

This guy stole my money, i call him telling that i had a problem with my sentra 2017 he told me he had the tools for solve it. I drop the car with the gwc warranty, he kept the car for 2 days and called me telling that the car was perfect. When i arrived to take the car he charge 150 dollars even i had the gwc warranty he didn't do any process with them and i had to pay him to take my car. Few days after i went to the nissan and in 1hr they told the all the repairs that the car needed. They stole money dont go there. I know ill never get my 150 buks, it was like throwing it to the trash.

Thanks again Brian for getting us road ready with a new water pump and belt. I do appreciate your friendship and the excellent service you always give us. Happy New Year!

Top Notch Service at a Fair Price - I have been going to Brian for a few years on the advice of a friend. Other shops wanted to charge me $500+ to replace a waterpump on top of a timing belt job. In order to get to my timing belt, you have to take the pump off. He was the only honest one who charged me for the part only and not part and labor like the other shops tried too. I recommend him to every one I know. He charges around $100 bucks or so to diagnose the car, but then credits it back when you get it fixed there which is fair to me, otherwise he'd have every Tom, Dick and Harry coming to get diagnosed and then trying to figure a way around actually paying for a fix. He stands behind his work, too.

Accurately accessed and done a timely professional manner

I was recommended The Car Shop by a friend and had such an amazing experience. I cannot recommend this place enough. They were incredibly helpful, honest, and informative. As someone who knows nothing about cars and drives an older, inherited car, Brian was incredibly patient. He explained what was wrong, my options, and how to respond to future issues. I left feeling confident with the work done on my vehicle and will 1000% be returning.

It's too bad I'm about to move out of state. I just found this trustworthy carshop and wish I could use them as my go-to mechanics. If you need to get anything done on your car in tampa give these guys a call first, they are awesome.

The Car Shop is my “go to “ place for all my car maintenance and repairs. I have trusted them for years and always found them to be reliable and honest. I will never go anywhere else as long as Brian is the owner

I always feel reassured I’m trusting honest people at The Car Shop. Very clear and transparent about options. It’s really nice to feel taken care of and considered. Not to mention they have an amazingly affordable collection of crocheted toys I’m obsessed with. Great spot!

Like always bryan and his crew always do a great job best mechanic in town I highly recommend the car shop


Oct 06, 2024

They know the stuff, they know them very well. Diagnosis is accurate, fixation is precise, estimate is punctuate. Honest local people doing business with the local folks. Plain and simple. I will do my business with the car shop again. I like their knowledge and professionalism. And, it was great talking to them in person about the technical details.

Brian and The Car Shop heroes are not just repairmen; they are dedicated to the safety and security of their customers’ vehicles. Brian is knowledgeable and honest about service needs. He’s never pushy, soliciting unnecessary add-ons. He has serviced cars for my entire family and I’m always telling people about his quality work. The shop isn’t open on weekends, so call and make an appointment. It’s well worth the weekday trip!


Sep 06, 2024

Brian and his staff are skilled professionals. One call, brought the car in right away and viola—- they repaired it within a few hours. The price was appropriate for the rapid excellent work. The Car Shop is the best place for auto work in Tampa! Try them!

Family ran business, very professional and fast.

Fully explains issues with the car and what needs to be done. Test drives after work is completed to make sure there are no other issues. Probably the best car repair shop I’ve ever been too.


Jul 06, 2024

I trust Brian and plan to only bring my car to him from now on


Jul 06, 2024

I was thrilled to find a honest and reliable technician to diagnose and repair my Chevy Volt. Brian was patient while he kept me up to date about delays in acquiring parts. Brian is my technician of choice from now on. Dave C
