Engine repair service near Temple Terrace, FL

I took my mother's car to a popular franchise for a oil change,the car did not have any obvious problems, I was told the car needed a new tie rod and a manifold gasket replaced. Told them to do the oil change only. Within a few weeks I started to notice one of the front tires wearing more than the rest. So now I needed to purchase tires for the front, I called several places for price quotes and found Suncoast Automotive to have the best pricing. I asked for tires & a front end alignment. Received fast service and honesty.... the manager told me that a nut was lose on the tie rod. I had them check to see if I did need to have gasket replaced and yes, I guess it's a common problem with this particluar car. I had this work done here a few weeks later. Hate needing to pay for car repairs or maintenance, but love having a auto mechanic shop that you can trust. Would highly recommend to anyone who asks

Dan is THE best. I've lived here since 1977, been there, done that. BAR none, Kind, caring and simply just the best!!! My car runs AWESOME!!! KLI

Nicest guys I've ever met. Took me in late in the day, diagnosed the problem with my F150 and even though I was at their mercy being from out of town and all, their charges were very reasonable. Thanks for a great job!

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

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.
