Engine repair service near Lake Hamilton, FL

Nice guys and they mean well. If you are interested in a top notch professional shop keep looking. This is an old school garage and mechanic that struggles to get the repair completely done the first time you bring your vehicle in. Fully expect not to have your vehicle ready when promised and to get it back dirty inside and out. They will make the repair work eventually but expect to waste a lot of your time in the process.

DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS TIRE KINGDOM STORE OR ANY OTHER ONE. TAKE ALL YOUR CAR NEEDS AND SERVICE TO LLOYD POWERS AT "JUST BRAKES" ON HWY.98 NORTH IN LAKELAND as of June 16th, 2014. What a horrible company Tire Kingdom is, and the despicable assistant manager Norm, who caused the long-time Manager, Lloyd, and the best mechanic, Jimmy, to leave the store. Norm and his mechanics are terrible and not to be trusted.

This company is a scam. Paid for a service and warranty in which they didn't complete either. Paid for a rebuild and only got parts replaced. Tony told me they were rebuilding my cvt transmission when in reality all they did was replace the valve body and cones. SIX months later it went out again they had it for two and a half months and it still wasn't fixed. Had to have it towed to a reputable company to have it fixed right which cost me more money on top of what I paid them to do in the first place

This is a family business that is governed by a very dedicated, knowledgeable, professional and honest man. I have never been disappointed with his work. He can repair at his shop or on the road. I would recommend him to any RV owner.

Great People with a great staff the owner is fair with her prices and they do great work, I would not trust anyone else with my Mercedes or any of my other cars to do any mechanic work or alignments, Ive recomemded all my family and friends and co-workers here and they have always treated them well. Ive been a loyal customer for over four years now and will be as long as they are in town!!!

He did the oil change in Dec. 2019, overpriced at $220. Then the pandemic started, and the car was in the garage since then. About a week ago, I turned on the car lights are back on the dashboard for maintenance lights and tire sensor. I took it back to him and paid another $220 for the tire sensor and maintenance lights. Seems like $220 is the price they charge for anything small, lol. The car went back into my garage. I turned on the car for the first time yesterday, and the lights are back on. I called and talked to Robi, he said to bring it in the morning it takes 5 minutes. I brought the car in the morning before work, and they wanted to charge me and told me I have to leave the car. I left immediately. Then Robi followed me for a few miles in his Silverado. He threatened me and belittled me, asking if I needed money for the repair. Robi Zaldeti is a crook and strong-arming type of man. Unprofessional, unethical, and if you don't want to do business with him, he'll follow you and threaten you.

I went in for an a solenoid problem and they completely dismantled my transmission, without authorization. The manager, Charles Stevens, tried to bully me into paying between $2100-$2700 to put it back together. I practically had to go to my bank and then one he referred me to to try and get a loan for that amount, even threatened to put my car in storage. Finally got them to put the transmission back together for $512.88, although Charles said he was originally going to charge me $700. Within 5 miles of the shop, my transmission was slipping so severely (I had NO previous issues of slipping) that I had to have my car towed home, per my mechanic's instructions, to avoid burning up the clutch. Now, my car won't even turn over. But legal recourse is in position and I will have my day in court. DO NOT TRUST THEM !!!

These people are nasty and uncooperative. I asked for a receipt to be faxed or mailed and I was told "I'M NOT FAXING ANYTHING!' and they hung up on me. Save yourself a hassle and use somebody else.

I have been using Chris to maintain my BMW for the past couple of years, and he has been nothing short of a blessing to me. Sometimes I feel like he cares more about my car than I do. I am not in favor of going to the dealership, I feel as though I am overcharged for subpar service there. Id much rather have a personal touch any day. Outside of saving me money on regular maintenance items he was also able to resolve a long standing problem that the dealership wasn't able to properly diagnose. I'm pretty sure the dealership guys didn't lose any sleep when I said I cant afford anymore diagnosis without a solution, but Chris didn't give up until he resolved my issue. So, in my book he gets a grade A..I don't pay for customer service, I pay for honesty and reliable car repair...if I want a smile and a cup of coffee I will gladly go to Starbucks! If I want my BMW fixed right I will go to Bavarian Automotive!
