I highly recommend Leasure Automotive. I was nervous about trying a new place since I’m new the area but I’m very happy I took that chance. Yvonne is very outgoing and provided great customer service. The mechanics were also nice and knowledgeable. I will definitely return for future car maintenance needs.
Have followed them through 3 moves over 30 years. Only mechanics I have ever trusted.Always add me to the line within a day or so if I drop it before 8am. They have always accurately diagnosed the issues or know what maintenance needed by site inspection, not mileage. Then, for a fair price, they will do quality repairs with quality parts.They know a lot about cars and how to tell and/or show you the issues so you really understand! They are honest, clean, hard working, knowledgeable, and professional.I would highly recommend them!!! Thanks Bill and Dennis for years of advice, and help!
Yvonne and Bill were great! The AC went out on my Jeep Patriot so I took it in to Leasure Automotive based on a recommendation from my sister (her mother in law took her car there). Bill did a diagnostic and thoroughly explained everything to me and gave me options for the AC repair.. I wound up deciding to do the complete AC kit.. was a great price and my AC was blowing ice cold when I left. Yvonne was very friendly and helpful. Had a great conversation with her while I was waiting. Would definitely recommend Leasure Automotive to anyone I know and will definitely be bringing my Jeep there for any other services I need.
I have always had on time courteous service from making an appointment to having the job completed. The techs in the shop have gone beyond the call of duty at times as when they clean my windshield on the inside as I am just too short unless I practically crawl onto the dash.So all the employees get my thumbs.
I would recommend this place to anyone that needs to get their car repaired it’s friendly And professional and do excellent work. It’s worth your while to give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed!
Had a slow leak in my tire from running over a nail. Came here and they patched it so fast. Great prices and super friendly. Highly recommend!
Popped a tire on the way to work and Leisure happened to be the closest repair shop. Glad they were, they were awesome. Assisted me right away, grabbed and installed a new tire in under an hour. Friendly, professional and quick. Made what could have been a stressful and expensive day very easy.
I have never steered away from getting my car serviced at the Toyota Dealership until this week. I was recommended to bring my car to Leasure Auto and can say they are truly an honest group here, folks. Seriously. You have my business hands down! Thank you so much - my car runs great again!
This place is great! Found them online and they were in a convenient and easily accessible location and they had good reviews so I tried them out. Clean, large, breathable waiting area. Great service, good prices. I had them replace my washer fluid pump and diagnose my a/c issue and then got the a/c work done by them. I like the owner, Dennis, a lot, hes kind and straight forward, no bs with him. His mechanics are cool guys, respectful and seem to enjoy working there. Front desk lady is a sweetheart. Definitely going back for any car work needed.
Always great service, knowledgeable mechanics. Love it!
Dennis is an amazing mechanic. My06 Ram 1500 was in another Brandon automotive repair shop for new motor and fix my floating front end. After new motor had continuous motor issues, other shop said my computer was no good and frame was bent and couldnt fix front end. Funny because Dennis said the motor is bad and called other shop letting them know it was bad. And he fixed my front end and it drives like a brand new truck. Thank you for your professionalism and your excellent mechanical skills. I will never use anyone else.
Very fast service, good rates, and knowledgeable staff. Cant ask for anything more in an auto repair shop.
Awesome mechanics and Beautiful People that treat you with hospitality !
My wife’s family has been going here for years, and when I needed some work done, I figured I’d give them a shot. Not only was the work I needed done quick, inexpensive, and thorough, they were the best price I’d gotten for an oil change and tire rotation too!! They’ve got a customer for life, now.
Several repairs done. Always professional and nice. Fair pricing. Excellent information about your vehicle. Excellent service.
Great people and service....highly recommend to get your car or truck fixed there
Fantastic experience. I wanted to upgrade my tires and leasure had my new set in stock the same day, installed and balanced them perfectly and did a top notch Amsoil (the best) oil change. Super friendly to deal with, I cant recommend them enough! Great prices, too.
The mechanic Bill and person in the office Yvonne are excellent to work with. They went out of their way to explain and make us feel good about trusting them. I feel very confident to recommend them!
What Can I Say – Leasure surpassed my expectations 10-Fold! Their Customer Service was impeccable! I was referred by a good friend who’s also a retired military service member because I was quoted an outrageous number by a local dealership. Dennis is personally engaging and genuinely concerned that he provide an Honest Assessment. Bottom Line: My Extended Warranty just ended on my vehicle, and well, Leasure is now my New Extended Warranty!! Many Thanks to All of You at Leasure – You’re Awesome People!!
I just want to thank Leasure Automotive for the work they did on my husbands truck! They were more than accommodating and very honest!!! We replaced the engine and rear differential. They kept the truck under lock and key when the first engine fell through and helped us locate a great deal on a replacement. They took care of the delivery and core returns too!! Best service I have experienced in a very long time.
Excellent service. My car and I are so happy.
Great service fast and reliable great people and customer service highly recommend them
The only mechanic my family goes to! After going to many mechanics before them, I can safely say that they are the best mechanic we have ever had! I dont know much about cars, but they always make me feel comfortable and will explain something if I dont understand. Seriously the friendliest people ever!
Reliable, fair, and genuinely earnest auto repair shop that does quality work at fair prices. Dennis and Bill are straight talkers, all while being honest and skilled car mechanics-- hard to find nowadays. Additionally, Yvonne, who works the front desk, is very helpful getting you scheduled, and or updated on your car status. I dont recommend many businesses, but after multiple visits, these guys warrant five stars.
Cannot rave enough about this business and ALL of the employees! Dennis did an exceptional job on our vehicle! We had it towed from another shop that was sitting for almost 2 weeks....Dennis has our vehicle diagnosed within TWO HOURS of it being dropped off and out of the shop the next day! Very honest and smart man! Bill also helped us a lot and answered a lot of our questions! Yvonne working the counter is one the most friendly and caring woman Ive met, she never hesitates to help and never makes you feel bad or annoying no matter how many times you call or how many questions you ask! She took to my two toddlers right away and made them feel at home and sent them home with toys. This will be our mechanic as long as they are open! I am so glad there are still honest people out there! Thank you Leasure Automotive for your exceptional service and employees! Forever grateful for you! ☺️
Best staff..honest, fast and reasonable prices!!
10/10 - was recommended this place by a friend after I advised what my current car shop was going to charge for brakes- this place exceeded expectations!!! If you are looking for honest, efficient work - this is where you want to go! I absolutely will be back for all of my vehicle services!
They did a battery check on my company truck. Very efficient visit
The staff is professional and highly trained, super friendly, and HONEST!! So much more reasonable then the dealership was. I will only take my car to Leisure. I know I will never get ripped off.
I just want to reiterate again how much I appreciate you helping get my car ready for our trip up north. All of you are absolutely fantastic! From the woman that is so warm and just makes you feel so welcome when you come in to the mechanic for helping me to be able to get my car safe within a budget I could afford! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you guys & I am so happy I found you!!
I cannot say enough for this business they gave me a quote the did the job as promised all while being total professionals. At the end they said we treat everyone like family and that’s exactly how I felt. Thank you
Dont hesitate going here!
Weve been using this facility for years and since theyve moved from the old Kmart they have only got better. If you give him a chance youll never go anywhere else.
Had a really great experience here! The staff were attentive and extremely nice.
I was recommended this place earlier this year when I had my old car - it needed a lot of repairs and, thankfully, they charged a great price for it! Now that I have a new car, I still go back to them for anything I need done on my car! Thanks for everything you do, Leasure Automotive!
I’ve been here twice and Yvonne is a really nice woman she’s very communicative helpful and understanding I went in for an oil change and it took them 30 min I was very grateful for their service I paid 80 dollars for synthetic oil for a Lexus I will be back for a lifetime
Great Everything
Had A/C problems which they quickly diagnosed and fixed. During the test drive after repairs they realized that that left front end wheel bearings were shot. Replaced and saved me money on parts that wouldve been effected if it didnt get fixed. Very friendly and professional family business.
If you are looking for honest, professional service for your vehicle, you wont find a better place than Leasure Automotive to go to! Dennis, Bill, Yvonne, and the rest of the crew there always deliver top-notch customer service, and can take care of all of your automotive service needs! Theyve been in business in the Bay Area for many years, and fully stand behind everything that they do.
Know this place & its mechanics for many many years. Theyre honest, professional and get the work done right the first time. If you leave and dont feel 100% satisfied just contact them so they can address your concerns in a manner youll appreciate.
Very good place for you to have your car fixed.
Leasure automotive is a family owned business. I love that. They have always been fast, friendly & straight forward. Ive taken both my vehicles to them for repairs and will continue to do so. I do recommend them.When you arrive, tell Yvonne that Caroline sent you 😁
Fixed my AC quickly and had in purring in no time and best of all didnt break the bank nor tried to sell me something I didnt need.
I cannot say enough good things about Leasure! Bill and Dennis have taken care of my cars for many, many years now. Never before have I known such superb, competent and professional mechanica! It is so easy to recommend them to everyone. They are truly good guys, who are fair, kind, honest and just plain amazing!
They are honest. Truly care about great customer service.
Everything was good the Miss Evan was awesome and helpful I highly recommend it
Wanted to charge me 99 dollars plus tax for a wheel alignment with no warranty...Absolutely Absurd...Just go to Firestone 100 bucks with a 1 year warranty...
Yvonne is always so helpful, as well as the service men. Bill is always so informative and surreal when it come to repairs. This place makes you feel like family
So grateful we found this shop. We had an intermittent transmission problem with our 96 Ford and it has been to multiple shops for the past 3 years. No one could figure out the problem. After extreme frustration, we were sent here from a transmission shop in Brandon. Dennis figured out the issue in 30 minutes. It has been fixed and running great. Very reasonably priced as well. Great shop!
Great service. Honest advice. Fair prices.
This shop has the latest and greatest diagnostic equipment and Dennis has the knowledge to use it. Dont hesitate to leave your vehicle in his capable hands.
Always excellent customer service. Friendly staff. Get you in and out. I love shops like these
Best. Honest. Dennis & Bill really know what they are doing. I have been taking our cars here since 2005.
Repair was quick! And the price was good. I will definitely be using again when necessary.
If you need reasonable car parts, this a good place to start. This does wide range and variety of items. Prices are reasonable compared to places. They have name brands and off brand. Service is not bad at all.
Ive been taking my used cars to LEASURE AUTOMOTIVE since 1992, and Ive never had anything less than 5 star service and treatment from Dennis and his technicians. Even when I push him to sell me services or parts that I think I need, if he feels otherwise, hell prove to me why theyre not needed. The last vehicle I bought was new, but the warranty is now out. Even so, my spouse insisted that I take it to the dealer when the AC went out. The new car dealer not only quoted $1286 to replace the compressor, but also proceeded to convince me that, with 92,500 miles on my otherwise well running car, I needed a total of $3401.38 (including tax and other charges) worth of work and repairs. I called Dennis and gave him the list of work to be done and how much they were charging. Now, all he had to do was beat them by a little, but but he beat their price by over $1200! Then he said I may not need all of that work. He needs to see for himself. He looked, and I dont. Not for quite awhile, anyway. The AC, yes, but its going to be a better job for less with a lifetime warranty, which is good nationwide. Thats my man! If hes not yours, he should be. Ive sent a number of people his way over the decades.
My husbands father, a mechanic by trade, always told him, IF you can find a good mechanic that you can trust, stick withem. They are hard to find !!! Thats Dennis Leasure & his team. I would & have recommended them highly.
Excellent service! Great people! Been in business in Brandon forever! The most knowledgeable & experienced staff. Highly recommend them.
Awesome service and diagnosis. Only pay for what you get. Whole staff helpful especially Bill and Yvonne
Absolute amazing place! Honest, knowledgeable, affordable and excellent customer service. Would recommend this place to anyone.
Dennis and his crew have been doing a lot of great work for many years! Ive been taking my vehicles to him for over 15 years, and they not only do good, honest work, but they also stand behind their work! I have ZERO complaints about anything that theyve ever done for me and I refer people to them all the time! Consider yourself referred!!
Family place. Feels like a home experience.
Wonderful staff.
Bill and team are good in all of the ways I need them to be. They are really reliable and timely and the customer service is really good. I found out about these guys from an uber driver that mentioned them and although they arent the cheapest, Bill has never done me wrong. I trust him and have no problem paying a tiny bit more for his hourly rate because he gets the job done right and the guy is quick about it.
Very nice people, dog was adorable
They are tremendous! I took a trailer hitch there for them to install, and as it turns out it was the wrong one. They not only found me the correct one, they picked it up for me and installed ASAP. I dont take my car anywhere else. They are honest and go out of their way to help people out.
Honest and ProfessionalLong story short: You can feel people here want to fix your car, and want to fix it in most reliable way. This place feels like family indeed, like your grandpa is trying to fix your car. I will come back here again if my car need something, rather than dealership.Long story: My Ford Mustangs passenger door window wont lift. Ford dealership costed me $600 but yet not fixed it(It is a small but tricky problem). Dannis here spent a whole day trying to diagnose what was wrong. He cannot find out at that time. So he called me telling me he is not sure which part is broken(Being honest). Right after I picked my car there and went back to office, Dannis called me again sounds excited saying he might understand what was wrong now. Considering he being honest at the first time, of course I am willing to bring the car back and give him another chance. He figured it out this time. It was the loose connection of the door wires caused by Ford dealerships previous repairment. He re-wired the cables and the problem is gone.The qualities of admitting I dont know whats going on with your car and being patient and investigating the problem even when the customer is gone, are gold these days. This is the reason why I think this shop deserves a golden star.
I have taken my car there several times and they fix it. I have never had a problem with this place or the people. They are responsible on there prices.
Honest professional inexpensive.Will recommend.
I brought my vehicle to them late in the afternoon, and did not expect a call until the following day. Dennis called me within two hours and had already finished the work! I was able to pick the car up the same day!! He personally gave me instructions on a couple little fix-up items that I could do myself, which he normally would charge $100 per hour to do, so he also saved me money there. On top of all that, he gave me a 10% discount for the first time I used their service. I will definitely trade with them again in the future.
I was coming home from Tampa on the Crosstown Expwy and my clutch lost pressure ..I was lucky and coasted off the Expwy and right into the parking lot of Leasure Automotive...Dennis quicky diagnosed the problem right away and could have easily sold me a new clutch but was honest unlike many other places and told me it was only a minor problem of a rusted line!! its not everyday that you find an honest mechanic let alone one that has as much experience as Leasure Automotive does. I was very satisfied with my service done at Leasure and highly recommend them to anyone. They rescued me in my time of need and did not take advantage of me. Their prices are very reasonable and they have excellent service..Spotless clean garage and waiting area as well. Very easy and great people to deal with. Fast service too!! Thank you Leasure Automotive!!
Great place good people
My car was barely able to make it into the lot so I parked in front of a Bay to figure out what they wanted me to do. The employee literally laid on the horn in a vehicle behind me instead of offering assistance. I walked by him and instead of offering help he shook his head. Mind you at this point I’m in tears. I walked in and stood without a greeting or acknowledgement for 10 mins. NEVER AGAIN
Family owned and operated. Top notch honest service.
Run from this place they charge 120.00 per hour for diagnosis fee thats way more than Brandon Ford charges a flat fee 98.00 no matter how long and it goes towards the repair if not pay 98.00 not all shops are honest we have strayed so far from the good ole days of helping
New location is really nice! Easy parking too! Great place for honest auto repair.
The most honest and professional mechanics in Tampa. Period!
Great honest mechanic in the Brandon area!
One of the very few honest car repair shops that I have found. Dont tell everyone, they are busy enough already.
Dennis and Bill are lifesavers! Extremely knowledgeable and very fair. I would trust them with any repair on my vehicles!
I had the most complex finanancing situation. However, Riley handed it like a pro. I was surprised by how professional and knowledgeable he was in all areas of the car process. So far the vehicle runs great and Im happy. Thanks Riley and Liesure automotive !
Highly recommended. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful. No scams or gimmicks - just good quality work done quickly.
I went there because of a persistant tire problem. They took the time to drive it before inspecting it and then they drove it afterwards. I have been to so many establishments that not only dont do that, but they also do not take the tim Highly recommend them.e to listen to you. They have my business.
They have been taking care of my family since I moved here and they will not lead you wrong
My go-to mechanic always great service and very quick to help me with anything I need for my vehicle they do not overcharge
Service and quality are impeccable. I really trust these guys and cant say nicer things about their front desk staff. Settle for More!!!!
If you live in Brandon, Valrico, or East Tampa this is the shop you want to go to. Been going here for over 15 years. Once you get to know them it is a no brainer. Bill and Dennis are the best in the area.
Wonderful people !
They couldnt help me with my BMW but he did give me a good lead. To try to avoid being raped by the dealership BMW broke my wallet for sure.
Excellent service and fair prices. Highly recommend
Theyre the best they know what theyre doing
Had a screw in my tire while I was on vacation down there they pulled my car rt in and fixed and very nice people work there to great service
They always take fantastic care of our tour vehicle. Cant thank them enough for everything!
Honest and reliable, fair prices, and friendly people.
They are trustworthy and honest. How could you ask for more from an auto repair shop?
Great workmanship a little bit pricy on the labor charges but I recommend this shop, especially if youre a Bucs fan. Negative about this shop its not open on the weekends
02/20/2019 I have to say I ABSOLUTELY ! NOT!!
Great work that is friendly, fast, and honest. Have been coming here for years, cant recommend enough!
I brought my Camry here to have a thermostat replaced in my engine, everywhere else Id been wanted way too much. I also needed the transmission fluid changed, the coolant flushed and a few other assorted minor repairs. I had been to 4 other repair shops in Tampa before my friend told me about this place. They charged me about 2/3rds of what anyone else wanted and got it done about 1 hour. Ill bring my car next time I need work done.
