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.

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.

Accurately accessed and done a timely professional manner

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!

The Car Shop has been taking care of my cats for many years. Brian and his team always do a great job. Good work at a fair price.


Nov 06, 2024

Very happy with your service

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.

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!

Bryan was fast at his processing me and getting everything fixed as fast as possible using my Csrmax Car Care warranty

Prompt and great service.


Aug 06, 2024

The mechanics at The Car Shop are excellent and the prices seem fair. I never feel pressured to do maintenance that isn’t necessary.


Jul 06, 2024

Brian and his staff are always great to deal with. Great service and fair prices. I am a long time customer. I have always been treated well.


Jul 06, 2024

Family ran business, very professional and fast.


Jul 06, 2024

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

I’ve been coming to the car shop since 2017 and this is the only shop in Tampa that gets things done for me the right way. Great Job once again guys.


Jul 06, 2024

Very Professional and friendly honest service.


Jul 06, 2024

Very friendly and nice. And on top of that, the service was great.


Jun 06, 2024

Not good they kept my car too long and did'nt fix everything I asked to be fixed


Jun 06, 2024

We have been coming to the car shop for years. Can always count on Brian and his team to deliver excellent service.


May 06, 2024

Brian is honest, friendly and reliable. He is quick to call with an estimate and the job is done expediently. He also does not inflate prices. Hands down the BEST mechanics in town! Above and beyond customer service, treats you with respect and an equal as opposed to some shops I've dealt with who've treated me like they are doing me a favor by servicing my vehicle. I will take my vehicles to them for as long as they are open and I'm alive!


May 06, 2024

Brian really helped us out again. He stayed true to the estimate for my daughter’s, car, and when he found a couple more things wrong, he fixed them and would not increase the estimate. He knew my daughter was just making ends meet.. He’s thoughtful and caring.


May 06, 2024

Great job guys, it runs good now, I will recommend you to anyone that needs good service 👍💯


May 06, 2024

Great people. Down to earth. Very personable. They’re definitely there to help in your best interest.


May 06, 2024

They always find the problem with my car and fix it. Brian is good on communication, friendly, and reasonable. I'll be coming back for any future maintenance on my car.


Apr 06, 2024
