I went there and they sold me a bald tire that was way to small for my car for $40. Two thumbs down.. Would not recommend and will never go back..Only giving this a 1 star because they make me put something.

Great comm

Only place I will take my BMW for repair. Ladies, this is the one place where being a female doesn't feel like they will take advantage of you. Fair, honest, fast, efficient team and also do a great job detailing your car. Always excellent customer service! -Suzanne

9/9/17. My daughter trying to decide to leave Tampa got some bad gas and is broke down. I called from Pensacola Fl. and Pernell answered and said he would go see what he can do. I pray for him and my daughter. Time is running out. I wait to hear from him. I pray he can get her car running.

DO NOT COME HERE. THEY ARE COMPLETE LIARS, AND PAY FOR CUSTOMERS TO RATE THEM GOOD. I came to Auto Air by Ben today to get my AC checked for running warm instead of cold. Mind you, I had just had Freon added to my AC last week to try to cure why it wasn't blowing cold.... This morning I came to Ben for a proper assessment being that his reviews says he is totally honest.... BULLSHIT. Tell me why Ben told me my AC was broke by the "Compressor" being broken. And my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclispe no longer makes AC Parts. And to fix it would be more than the cost of the car, which he says will be $2500 to fix.... Tell me why, when I called Mitsubishi they told me they can order a compressor for me for $800??? And Autozone said they can get me a compressor for a couple hundred dollars. Ben flat out lied to me. On top of that.... The compressor wasn't even the problem. It was that there was too much freon in the AC. And needed to be let out. Your AC Pressure should be between 30 and 40. Ben did not even properly assess my car. He never even put it on a lift or put a gauge on the AC thing to test the pressure. I came there 730am in the morning with my newborn and was bold faced lied too. We were burning up in the car due to no AC. It took 2 shade tree mechanics who works at their hm to just put a AC gauge on a car just to prove that the car only needed a simple fix to make the AC work. DO NOT GO TO AUTO AIR BY BEN! THEY WILL LIE TO YOU. Ben even told me I should get rid of my car immediately because there are no good. Saying his nephew had the same problem and he couldn't fix it. Excuses. That was very discouraging as a single mother of 3 with a 7 month old trying to survive out here. I don't have money to spend on a new car when there was nothing wrong with my car drastically to begin with. Ladies, go with a man whenever you get your car diagnosed. Men will screw you over. Be aware. This place is no good ??.

My daughter's truck broke down while at USF and Robert from RJL repaired it quickly for very reasonable cost. I live a few hours from Tampa, so I called him after finding his shop on this website. He even offered to tow her truck if it couldn't make it to the shop. He was honest and only repaired what was broke and did not try to con her into anything more. Thanks Robert, I'll refer all the USF parents I know to your shop from now on.

I was referred by a random customer of theirs - I took my car there because I needed a thermostat and hose replaced. Nah took the time and thoroughly went through my vehicle to make sure that there were no other issues. He even came up on his day off to check out an unrelated issue a few days later. He and his staff have been so professional and kind. I will not take my vehicle anywhere else. It is a blessing when you can find a honest mechanic who is not just trying to sell you something --- he truly cares and only wants to make sure what is wrong is fixed. Thank you all soooooooooooooooooo much! I truly appreciate your kindness.

My wife and I only use Running Great Auto. We typically buy used cars and keep them for a few years and then sell them. The team at Running Great have handled over ten cars of ours over the past decade. In that time they have been honest, professional, and courteous. They have honored their NAPA guarantees as well. (I had a Ford Expedition which had a major service at 100k miles, a plug got fouled. I was in Miami at the time. They reimbursed me for much of the cost for the repair in Miami.) I trust them explicitly. They take the time to do what is right and will let you know what they cannot do and where to go if they can't do the job. (Windows falling off their tracks, air bag issues, etc... you get the point non-engine, drivetrain related issues.) Well, I hope this helps. I would never go to Tires Plus, Tire Kingdom, Sears, etc ever again after being referred to Running Great. Once our friends starting going there, they were impressed also. I can't say enough good things about Glenn, Gary and the team. FYI in this bad economy where many companies try to 'find' work to bill you on... nothing has changed at Running Great.

Did an excellent paint job and checked other parts of the car. This is a Father and son business with over 30 years of ASE certified experience. I've seen cars come in there from Dealers and other Repair Shops when they cannot figure out the problem and John finds it and fixes it in record time. Ramona & Lawrence Bendik Lutz, FL

TIA Towing does not even deserve one star. Their representative Mary was very rude and I will NEVER do business with this company again. I called around to a few tow companies for pricing for a box truck and TIA had a good price. They quoted $125 over the phone. I let Mary know that I was a business and calling around for tow pricing and she said okay. When I called back to confirm the tow pick up, she reiterated $125 was the charge. There was no mention of anything else. When the tow truck driver arrived, he said the charge was $125 and they now do not accept checks. He then said that I could pay with a credit card but the charge would be $5-$10 more. I said that Mary mentioned nothing of an extra charge nor any mention of not accepting checks, especially since I told her this was a business. When I attempted to call TIA, the phone just rang and rang, then went to voicemail, then rang and rang again for two additional attempts. I was finally able to speak with Mary on the phone on the fourth attempt and she was quite rude and belligerent. I was explaining to her our phone conversation which she said that she remembered and that she would call me back regarding accepting a check. When she called me back four (4) minutes later, she still had a negative attitude and said due to bad checks they could not accept. She then said that she didn't know that $5-$10 would affect me so, so that is what the charge would now be. As I tried to explain to her that this is not the price she told me, she became irate and started to curse me and then hung up the phone on me. I tried to call her back two (2) times and there was no answer. She finally answered on my third try and said that I was giving her attitude and kept talking over me, not listening, and being very rude. She then said that she would take off the five dollars and as she continued with her overtly negative attitude said, "You know what? Forget it. I am not taking the charge off and not taking your credit card. Only cash. How long does my driver need to wait? How many minutes to wait for you to get cash? I am going to charge you for every minute until I get my cash. You need to decide what you are going to do cause I need my money. You call me when you figure it out." And then she proceeded to hang up on me again. As I attempted to call Mary back once again, the phone just rang and rang and she answered the phone on my next second attempt. She was still not listening and hung up on me prior to me even speaking. Their tow truck driver was also very disruptive and disrespectful as well. They did not even want to give me a receipt. I own a business and I would never treat vendors, customers, or any human being with such disdain. I will NEVER utilize their services again. This is not a customer service business. No one else should ever use TIA Towing.

Jerry has been my mechanic for the past 3 years, after Reeves told me that I was going to need a new fuel pump.... at a cost of $900.00! Jerry diagnosed the problem in a 5 minute drive and went under my car and fastened something that was loose... and I still haven't replaced my fuel pump. He is very fair and honest. Great mechanic

My car started overheating and I googled the nearest shop . I took my car to them and it was just a radiator Hose that got busted. They replaced it in no time and within the hour I was on my way to work , this is great shop

I went to this place to get my oil changed in June and they charged me $139.87 for power steering service and fuel system service. The manager Tamiko James was being all nice and flirting with me big time and asking to become facebook friends and all that then because he got so much money from me he gave me a coupon for my next oil change for $8.00 off and I asked him really. You will let me come in here to get my oil changed and take $8.00 off...His words were "For you my dear I would do anything yes you can use the coupon" So today I went there and he acts like he does not even know who I am and needless to say. Now he tells me I can't use the coupon becasue of the special...Men and women becareful if you go to him there...they try to be very nice and sell you things you don't really need then the don't honor what they said they would in the first place...

Company refuses to honor it's warranty. Their mechanic improperly installed a transmission and they charged to fix his errors. I recently brought in a friend's Nissan Altima to have the transmission replaced and had it charged to my AAMCO Credit Card account. After picking the picking up the auto, the starter made a grinding noise when attempting to start the vehicle. Believing this to be a separate problem I took it to my regular mechanic. He stated that the problem was the screw in the transmission mounting was improperly installed and was causing damage to the starter. We had the car towed to their shop. The manager "Charlie" informed us that since another mechanic looked at the vehicle they would not honor the warranty. This is unacceptable because without having a third party inspect the vehicle how would they be found at fault. It is all around bad business to allow your employees to perform substandard work, and even worse practice not to fix the problem when it does occur.I currently have an open complaint with the better business bureau about the matter.

Good day, I stopped at the Brandon Olin Mott location on 8.11.2018 at about 9:05 AM for an oil change and an auto inspection. When approaching the front, I was met by an employee who identified himself as ‘Neil’. The manager. He didn’t greet me with a hello but instead, asked – What do you want? I explained that I was in need of an oil change on our 2016 Ford Focus and could leave the car if need be. He quickly explained that he closed at 12:00 PM. He stated that he was way too busy to do an oil change and suggested several other oil change places near the Brandon Olin Mott store. These included Goodyear, Pep Boys, America’s oil change, Firestone and 5-minute oil. I was astonished that not only did he not want to help us – He rattled off 5 competitors. I even restated that I could leave the car if need be. I asked if Olin Mott had so much business that he could / would turn me away? He became agitated, raised his voice and re-stated – “I said I don’t have time to do an oil change – Do you understand”. He stepped rather close to me and I actually felt threatened by him. I asked him to back-off which he didn’t do, so I backed up and retreated to my car. I can’t understand why Olin Mott would even employ such an on-the-edge individual. Do you have so much business that you send customers to the competitors? Rest assured, and thanks to Neil, I will never go to an Olin Mott store again. I did go to one of your competitors that day, Firestone where I was greeted with a smile and had my oil change / car inspection done in about 30 minutes. Have a good Day – Tony Drucker of Brandon, FL
