WARNING: UNETHICAL AUTO REPAIR EXPERIENCE Photos on Google reviews. Please check them out there. I must strongly advise you to avoid trusting or doing business with Bruce European Auto Repair. My personal experience with this establishment has been nothing short of a nightmare. I brought my car in for transmission repairs, and it has been a never-ending saga of lies, incompetence, and broken promises. Here's a detailed account of the ordeal I've endured over the past several months, and I feel compelled to share it with others to prevent them from going through a similar ordeal. I have also included screenshots to substantiate my claims. Lie #1: When I inquired about the status of my car, I was told they had "ordered a Solenoid from Jack's Transmission." However, when I followed up with Jack's Transmission, they had no record of any parts being ordered. This was the first indication of dishonesty and deception. Lie #2: The car sat in front of the shop for over a month before they even started diagnosing the issue. They constantly assured me that the car was being worked on, but over two months had passed without any substantial progress. Lie #3: On August 23rd, they claimed to be "working on getting it back together," yet no work had been completed. Lie #4: I was told that the blinker was fixed and that they were addressing the airbag issue. However, the blinker was not fixed when I picked up the car in October, and the airbag issue remained unaddressed. Lie #5: On August 24th, they informed me that a "flushing procedure for the solenoid" was necessary, even though they hadn't replaced the broken part in the transmission. This was clearly an unnecessary step. Lie #6: In early September, I visited the shop to see the car's progress. I observed the transmission pan in the car, and when I excitedly asked if the transmission was fixed, they lied, assuring me it was good to go. This was a missed opportunity to be honest about their inability to fix the car. Lie #7: On September 12th, they claimed that their "buddy, the GTR god," was coming to take the valve body back to his shop. This never happened, and it was clear they were making excuses to buy more time. Lie #8: On September 22nd, they stated that they were working on putting the car back together but were missing a special bolt from Nissan. However, they failed to ensure the right parts were ordered and installed properly. Lie #9: On September 25th, they claimed the correct bolts had arrived, but when I had the car taken to another shop, I discovered they had used subpar bolts instead of the appropriate ones. Lie #10: On September 26th, they promised that I would get my car back that day, but it was just another empty promise. This individual even bizarrely alluded to the possibility of physical confrontation, indicating that he knew his lies were catching up with him. Lie #11: When I asked for an invoice for the part replaced in the transmission, they claimed their system was down and couldn't provide it. This further reinforced their pattern of dishonesty. Lie #12: Even after the truth had been exposed through text messages, they made empty promises of compensation through their attorney but have failed to deliver on these promises. This entire experience has been a nightmare, filled with deception and broken commitments. I strongly advise against entrusting your vehicle or finances to Bruce European Auto Repair. As of October 14th, there has been no attempt from their end to resolve this situation, and it has been an agonizing and costly ordeal. Please learn from my experience and avoid this establishment at all costs.

Great comm

When my local discount auto parts store was unable to install their replacement battery in my 2012 Focus, when I asked for a recommendation. Without hesitation they recommended Brothers, touting their honesty, fairness and comoetency. Such a reasonable charge and quick service, I honestly gave them a tip! Just week's later, faced with the 2009Ford Flex AC not working and bizarre behavior before a trip to see family. I was able to find a 3rd party part I suspected was the likely culprit. Ford would have marked it up and it likely would have cost me 2 to 3 times as much. I got the part overnight and to Brothers by noon. By closing time it was fixed and ready for pick up. Read the reviews on Google, I just did. And liked most of them. Any less than stellar review was rare and in my opinion unwarranted. Brothers is aptly named. Although they could easily be called Friends or Family, as it was a joy meeting 3 generations of family. Owner. Son and 6 year okd grandson., I found out just before leaving.

Jimmie is an honest mechanic who does great work. What more needs to be said.

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.

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.

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

As a as a former Marine honoring integrity is what us boys stand for! Without being said the two business owners and son are not in this for the money they're in this to help people that's who they are they all have honor and integrity. Pep Boys gave me an estimate to fix the front end in the same manner that one stop gave me an estimate for, Pep Boys estimate 738 dollars one stops estimate 166 dollars. Just to let you know I'm a mechanic and I used to own the shop before I became disabled, I also live in Land O Lakes and I won't bring my car anywhere else and Land O'Lakes is about 30 miles away
