Jerry with South Florida Auto went above and beyond for me. I wanted to purpose to my (now wife) girlfriend with a ring but also her dream car (1965 Deluxe VW Beetle). I remember driving by the shop as a child, when Jerrys dad ran the shop. I figured i would check in to see if they had any leads on a local Bug for me to purchase. At the time he didnt, so i kept looking. About 2 months later i got a call from Jerry telling me he had a friend that was ready to sell theirs. I ended up buying the Bug from Jerrys friend and i couldnt be happier (neither could my wife).I purposed with the Bug and she said yes. Since i bought the Bug about a year ago i have brought it to Jerry for maintenance and also a few upgrades.Long story short, Jerry takes GREAT care of my family and Birdie (the bug).As long as we have Birdie she will continue to be taken to Jerry.Side note: we are the 3rd owners of this vehicle and it has been taken to South Florida Auto since the day it was bought by the 1st owners at Bird Song VW.

Jerry is the man! A true master of his craft! He helped me diagnose my problem over the phone before we even met in person at no cost but his own time. I highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone in the area.

Wonderful service, fast, trustworthy, reliable. Would recommend to all of my friends.

USF student and I needed a good, reliable vehicle.Jerry helped me find a really nice car.I CANNOT say enough nice things, thank you so much Jerry!

Had a good experience with South Florida Auto Repair. They helped me with getting me transportation since my car was getting fixed. Overall, great experience my car is fixed!

When you think of a small business, among the first qualities that may come to mind are good, honest, personable and friendly service that you might not get at the big chain stores. These qualities are exactly what you will get at South Florida Auto with Jerry and his staff. Jerry is honest and will tell you what you need and what you dont need and wont try to up sell you. The way Jerry took care of my car, I felt he was putting the type of care and attention as if it were his own. I was restoring my 1995 Nissan Sentra both inside and out (see pictures) . As you can see from the pictures, Jerry pretty much had it looking brand new by the time I got it back. I fell in love with my older car all over again. It was as if I had a brand new car! His prices are also very reasonable. A lot less then what you might get at some of the chain stores. If you like personable touch, reasonable prices and a shop that treats your car as if it were their own, I highly suggest and recommend South Florida Auto Repair. This is a real testimonial from a real customer! - Daryle Wong

No one wants to take their car to the mechanic and no one trusts mechanics, we all know that. But, if you need a mechanic in the North Tampa area please call Jerry at South FL Auto Repair. Jerry does great quality work and absolutely stands by that work and has been nothing but honest and fair to us and our family for years. He has been doing work for my in-laws for years and when my wife and I moved back to the US (we moved to Miami) we came here for honest work and conti ue get service here when visiting family in Tampa. Thanks Jerry for all youve done.

Jerry was so amazing! He went above and beyond to find the best solution for my car. He fixed everything super quickly and was so nice about everything. He even went ahead and replaced a few things that I did not even know were an issue. Super helpful and kind! I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

My daughter and I ran into a bit of trouble traveling on are way home to Michigan. We needed a good place to stop and get help with our vehicle. Jerry was very kind and was able to help us. He found the problem right away. He fixed the issue allowing us to be able to get back on the road safely. I recommend his auto repair to everyone.

Thank you Jerry and the crew of South Florida Auto Repair! Before I sold my Xterra you were my mechanic of choice the 4 years after my dealership warranty expired. When I bought my new MINI Cooper I decided to bypass the dealership and come to you for maintenance. Also, I thank you for your body work recommendation after my freak accident with the parking garage hydraulic barrier. Gene Perez Body Repair did a wonderful job and provided excellent service. I got “The Coop” back yesterday. Ready for the Wiregrass car show!

Jerry has a lot of expertise in VW repair.

Jerry was so kind and helpful when my trunk latch wasn’t working. Being across the country from my parents I was lost and didn’t know what to do, so I showed up and Jerry dropped everything to help me. The price was great as well! If I ever need work on my car again I will definitely be back. Thanks so much!!

Great customer service! Also provided a discount since I was a first-time customer! My vehicle was ready faster-than-expected! Highly recommend

Dude who answered the phone was in a terrible mood, it is Monday... When I asked about a parts install he got belligerent, no harm no foul, my business will be taken elsewhere.

Such an honest auto repair shop! Jerry was amazing and was transparent and clear with everything he was doing! He also offered to do minor fixes free of cost. Great cost-efficiency and good quality! Will definitely come back if I have other issues

Jerry at South Florida Auto is nothing short of amazing. I dropped in on a Saturday morning with no appointment to have my car looked at. It had been stalling out on me and the engine light had come on. I was able to drive it over to Jerry’s shop before it completed died on me. Not really knowing what to expect or if my car could even be fixed the same day I had no choice but to leave it there. Jerry explained the process and told me he wasn’t sure If he would be able to fix it today ( Saturday) but I could leave it there and it would be taken care of first thing Monday. I honestly wasn’t expecting to get my car back until late Monday. Jerry called me a few hours later and told me what the issues was, he had the parts on hand and he would be able to have my car fixed and ready for me to go, same day. I was shocked and grateful. Jerry was so helpful, knowledgeable and he expedited the repair process. He was informative and upfront about everything. I live about 25 mins from the shop and had to call an Uber to get back over to Jerry’s shop. He’s assured me it was fine and he wouldn’t leave until I was there to pick up my car. In the past I have gone to big name repair shops or the dealer and I always feel like I get taken advantage of. I didn’t feel this way with Jerry. I felt his prices were fair and honest, not to mention he fixed me car the same day!!!! No appointment, no call ahead, nothing. Thanks again Jerry! I’m glad I found you. I won’t go to anyone else now!! You have a repeat customer on your hands now :)

Jerry restored our 69 VW Convertible about 16 years ago. We (my wife and I) had it back in for some additional work. Jerry is an artist with detail. It runs so well now. We highly recommend his company-we are very pleased with all the work he has done. 5 stars

My 2006 Honda Pilot was having serious issues... I was struggling to find a mechanic who I trusted to provide true quality service... then I found Jerry. He is highly informative, very approachable, and cares a great about his work. After coming to South Florida Auto Repair, my Honda Pilot is how running more smoothly than I’ve ever felt it run before! I highly recommend this mechanic to anybody in need of excellent auto repair services! Easily a 5-star experience!

Got my AC and horn fixed here. Jerry is super nice and honest.

Would highly recommend!! My 2008 Chevy Malibu headlights/high beams were giving me problems for almost a year. I took it to a previous mechanic and they said that it could be a wiring issue but wasn’t sure after changing my bulbs. I took it to south Florida Repair & Jerry immediately checked my car & fit me in the next day. After quoting me a reasonable price, Jerry not only changed my bulbs but worked to get to the root of the issue as to why my bulbs kept burning out.He not only informed me of the issue but fixed it by changing my melted pigtails (connectors) so that I could no longer have issues of my bulbs burning out.I am soooo appreciate. I don’t have a mechanic down here and he made me incredibly comfort to work on my car. Thank you!! Will def be coming back

Jerry and his staff are amazing. I couldnt ask for better mechanics. Exceptional work and service, also better than going to dealerships. If I could give 10 stars I would. If you have a Volkswagen of any year, make or model Jerry and his staff are the right crew for you. Thank you so much.

Was worst ever had my Porsche 928 / 1980 for 5 months and gave it back to me in pics??? Even charged me 500.00 and 5 months no car and givin back with no stearing collar

Took my BMW here to get the hood latch wire replaced and oil change. Im going back to have some more work done this place is great.

Jerry helped me with an oil change and another repair today. These guys are super helpful and quick and also not pushy or condescending. I definitely recommend this place and I’ll also be back soon for another few minor repairs

Great.

I want to personally thank Jerry for taking care of my son’s car. He’s currently at school, while we work in another state. It’s not easy to get the call from your kids about car issues when you’re so far away. Jerry fit him in immediately & kept us informed the whole time. He called my husband throughout the entire repair process. Super friendly, honest & definitely reasonable. Highly recommend!!

Been coming here decade plus.Flat tire...to rebuild an engine.Work rated always a 10 ...But best part...$$$$..either less than others, or very competitive.Plus...just nice people to deal with.

Very friendly and helpful for college students. Prices are good for what you’re getting done. Jerry also uses good quality parts and is very fast getting stuff done. Would definitely visit again if another issues arises!

Sometimes I worry about getting duped when I go to a repair shop, but Jerry was a real straight shooter and at a fair price. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone looking for an auto shop you can trust!

Called to get information on a vehicle I drove by and seen for sale the gentleman who answered was so RUDE AND NASTY I WILL BE TAKING MY BUSINESS ELSE WHERE! There is enough hate in this world Ill be damed if Ill spend my hard earned money at a place that shows so much hate just over the phone. If you dont want to bothered with questions of your product then apparently this is the wrong business for you.

I took my 2004 Chrysler crossfire here, they put in a clutch in for me, new belts, new pullys. Also put a new front to back exhaust on put a new rim on along with a new tire and hood mounts! He also took upon his self to fix the old rim and put a spare on the car and put it in the back without me asking! I’ve had the car for months now and I’m super happy with the work he did an amazing job and I recommend for anyone who is looking

To begin with, I am a student at USF and I needed a mechanic ASAP. After going to several places and leaving unsatisfied, I found South Florida Auto Repair. I had an amazing experience here (given the car situation 😂) thanks to Jerry. He went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of and I cannot thank him enough. Wonderful service, great mechanic! I would recommend him to anyone in the Tampa area.

Jerry is great. Car was not going to be ready on time and he called to let me know a day before so i could make arrangements. very professional and always explains exactly what was wrong and showed me the damaged parts replaced. I have full confidence in letting repair what is needed as he is honest and has a true sense of integrity that makes me feel safe and that my money well spent

Myself and my boyfriend traveled to Tampa from Ft Myers for medical reasons. Within our first 24 hours here we had car issues. My insurance listed South Florida Auto Repair as an option. I called a couple of times but didnt get an answer. Well 5 minutes later a very nice gentleman named Jerry called me back and apologized for missing my call and I hadnt even left a message. Major points for that one alone. Anyway, he advised us that we could have the car towed to him and he would be able to look at it Monday morning. Well its now 3 hours later since our initial conversation and we are back up and running. He really did go the extra mile to make sure we were able to travel. It is so refreshing to know that there are special people such as Jerry around to help us all. He was certainly a God Bless!!

After experiencing several other auto repair places, including the Honda dealership, Jerry’s shop was the absolute best! The Honda dealership quoted me $1200 in work, and he fixed my car for a third of that! Jerry is the person I trust to fix my car!

I recently brought my car here to have the exhaust and muffler replaced on my 08 Nissan Sentra. The price was reasonable and Jerry did an amazing job! The customer service was great too! Its hard to find a trusting mechanic nowadays, I believe Ive found that at this shop. Safe to say Ill be returning with any future car problems.Thank you Jerry :-)

The bar is packed with good vibes and high energy. Service is good and very welcoming. Nice place which leaves you with a desire to visit again.

I had just moved down to Tampa for a new job and was having trouble with my car. They provided excellent service as well as advice on things to look out for to make sure everything’s running properly. I would highly recommend going to them for any car repair needs.

Great service, really nice guy!! He really cares about his customers walking away satisfied. I will definitely be back.

Found this place in January 2017 when my car was making a loud noise. Being in college and young, I was worried that I’d be taken advantage of at a repair shop. This shop had the best reviews I could find and many people highlighted how honest the owner, Jerry, is. I brought him my car and the turn around time was so quick, the price couldn’t be beat. I was thankful.Then this January came around (2018), and I have a different car, that completely broke down on me. Repairs by the dealership were steep of $4,000. Jerry was able to cut this cost down tremendously, and he worked as fast as he could on it. He did offer me a ride to my apartment down the street. He also did a few other minor improvements that he saw I needed done on my car, because he already had the parts apart and it was easy to get to. I was also in a bind without my car, and the problem was serious, and I called Jerry to see if he had any ideas, he did a very large favor that I could never repay him for.He really is as honest as the other reviews say, he’ll tell you the news if it’s good, or if it’s bad, but either way it’s to help you, the customer. Very hard worker, and really reasonable prices. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Have been here multiple times and each time has been a great experience. Jerry is very thorough and does an awesome job in every aspect of the business. Blows me away each time.This is a great guy, a great place, and I would recommend this shop to any and all!

Best Service in town, honest pricing and hard work.My little car has also done me right but recently started dying at stop lights and failing to start every other attempt. no check engine or any warning light was on. After being told there was nothing wrong with my car by two other mechanics, I took my 2009 Hyundai to South Florida Auto Repair and Lo and Behold, I was helped right away. Jerry listened to me at great length and was very respectful and attentive. He then outlined his policies and what steps he would be taking to get to the bottom of my cars issues. He kept in constant contact and made sure I understood what was going on. I know it wasnt an Easy fix since it would take actual mechanical investigation but he NAILED IT! I I would recommend these guys to anyone. The personal attention and service was above and beyond. I am so happy I found Jerry and his crew!

I met Jerry several years ago while working in a local convenience store. I was surprised how honest and knowledgeable he was about all kinds of car brands. When my wife was looking for a car, he advised on the best brands to keep maintenance costs down and he was right. My wife worked for a dealership at the time and despite her employee discount, I continued going to Jerry for all maintenance visits because of his honesty. Jerry will tell you about what you do and dont need to do, vs the service centers at dealerships, which support the majority of their operations cost by lying to customers; having routine maintenance done much more frequently than needed just to make a dollar. Jerry has earned my business, as well as my trust, and I will continue to service my vehicles at his location as he is a good, honest person and does great mechanical work at a good price.-Jose Marquez

Incredibly helpful, explained exactly what was wrong with my car and why it was happening. Reasonably priced, quick and friendly service. You can tell they are genuine and knowledgeable!

JERRY IS THE MOST HONEST PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET. He knew my car more than I did, plus he even threw in a free part for my repair. I will definitely be coming back!

Jerry is great owner and the quality of work was great.

Jerry gave us amazing service! My partner needed his car bumper fixed, and Jerry gave him a great deal to repair it! He’s a USF alumnus and is all about helping students like my partner and I! I would 100% recommend him to anyone and will definitely be taking my car to him, too.

I went in today to fix my tires and I was pleasantly surprised with the outstanding customer service I received today. Jerry fixed my tire in less than 15 minutes and seemed to genuinely care about my concerns. His friendly and caring personality is evident in his work and Ill be sure to come again for any car issues in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

Great mechanics, and as a college student, it was refreshing to go to mechanics who do not try to make extra money off of you and are very good at their jobs. I had a faulty cat. converter and they fixed that and made me aware of possible other issues in the future, without pressuring me to pay for it on spot. Overall fantastic service and very timely !

Jerry is such an awesome guy. He is extremely caring, and genuine. I honestly have nothing to say, but how awesome he is I am going on a road-trip this weekend, and my car was having issues. I brought it in just 5 days before I planned to leave, and he had it done within a few days. Everything is wonderful with my car, it runs so smooth and everything I was having issues with is completely fixed. I will definitely come here again, if ANYTHING goes wrong with my car! Im a college student, and he definitely works well with pricing, considering he knows how broke college students are! Definitely the perfect place to take your car.

Jerry reminded me a lot of my uncle, a mechanic who knows his stuff. He fixed a problem on my car that the dealer tried to fix twice before giving up and he fixed it in less than an hour. My car runs like it was bought brand new.He contacted me several times during the repair to keep me updated. He had found an issue with the car that couldnt have possibly been found until the engine was apart, and offered to fix it at the original labor quote, which was above and beyond expectation of a mechanic, but then he also offered to fix the sensor for the original labor quote too.He loves what he does and it shows in his work.I couldnt recommend this mechanic more. He does quality work.

This was probably one of–if not the best–automotive care Ive ever received. Being a female in college, Im not well-versed when it comes to cars and repairs, but Jerry made my experience extremely pleasant! I took my VW Passat in for multiple dashboard lights and Jerry had my car back to me in great condition within days. He cares about his customers and educates his customers on what he fixes. Will definitely be back and refer people to him!

The owner was very informative and helpful with my concerns he went above and beyond to help me understand what I needed and how I needed to fix the problem I left there are very satisfied

My daughters 2011 Volvo C70 air conditioning was not working. Jerry diagnosed the problem to a relay and a pressure switch. He had it working again for $200. I was expecting it to cost more. I wIll have my daughter take her car to Jerry again if it is in need of repair.

I just love Jerry and his shop. Ive been taking my Volkswagens to him for over 20 years. He is honest, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He has rescued me when I had a dead battery, flat tires, and has handled serious work on my cars when they needed it. He is passionate about his work and very detail oriented. His prices are fair. I can always trust him when he tells me a repair needs to be done. You get the personal touch with Jerry. I know I am in good hands.

Im a international student and this is first time repair my car,last night I damaged my car in reverse, cause the speed is very slow the damage is not huge. In this morning, I was going to a repair shop that I found on google map, they had a serious expression and said car is hard to repair they need 600 dollars. I was amazing what a crazy men, and I just say I dont have enough money. In this afternoon I find South Florida Auto Repair, an old man comes to watch the damage of the car, and he just fix that in 5 minutes and said its free. I was moved, and I feel warm in my heart, maybe this is my first time warmed by an American. this is a great experience in my life.

Had a WONDERFUL experience here for my collision repairs. Mr. Jerry is super friendly, honest, professional, and will try to help you in any way he can. College student, military oriented. Not to mention, the repairs I got looked great!

Jerry is such a nice guy. I brought a vehicle in for air conditioner repair estimate. His quote was reasonable. But I decided to trade in vehicle instead of purchasing a new one. He even offered to go with me to car dealership to look at the new vehicle and help negotiate. He was very professional helping me check out the new vehicle I purchased. I would highly recommend him. Very reliable and trustworthy. He really knows what he is doing.

Great work, fast, efficient, great coustomer service. Jerry was very helpful when it came to assisting me, prices are reasonable would def recomend to anyone who is having car troubles.

Nice guy, great communication during the time he had my car. Made sure I knew exactly what was wrong with my vehicle and what it needed.

Gave this shop a phone call after seeing all of the positive reviews. I explained to jerry that I couldn’t leave the car overnight, because I have to go to work in the mornings. He started yelling at me over the phone telling me “You need to figure that out” & “You’re not listening to me!” As a veteran & someone who’s also from upstate NY, I thought that I would be treated with some degree of professionalism. Don’t recommend doing business with this place due to the lack of professionalism. Call me old fashioned but customer service is just as important to me as quality.Side note to the owner: don’t reply to this review arguing with me, because that just shows how much of a lack in professionalism you truly have.

Very wonderful service Gerry had me out of there in no time does high end cars and also customer service is awesome.

I live in Miami and my son attends USF we just brought him a used car 2009 Honda Accord and the engine check light came on . I search a mechanic shop near USF and a few came up, I selected and called South Florida auto repair after reading the reviews from customers. I am so happy I selected this repair shop Jerry was awesome, he drove my son back to USF when he dropped his car off. Jerry kept me in the loop, I will recommend this shop to all, great experience.

Jerry is super friendly. Great work with a good price.

I brought my car here because the 2 previous shops I went to were unable to fix the problem; and may have even worsened it. Jerry was able to identify the cause of the problem and fix it.The thing that sets Jerry apart from other mechanics is his deep knowledge and understanding of how car systems work. He can explain the problem thoroughly and clearly so that you will have peace of mind and know what was done and what parts were replaced in your car.You can find cheaper places but I think it is hard to find mechanics who can really identify and address what is wrong with your car.I highly recommend South Florida Auto Repair.

I WOULD GIVE THEM 10 STARS IF YOU COULD. THEY MAINTAIN MY OLD CAR(87BMW) AS WELL AS MY WIFES BMW X5. THEY HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH BOTH AND HAVE BEEN MY CAR PLACE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IF YOU CANNOT APPRECIATE THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND HONESTY-YOU SHOULD DEPEND ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION . THEY ARE REMARKABLE!

Absolutely outstanding service and prices. I had to have a throttle body replaced and have the computer reprogrammed for the new part. The dealership wanted $1600 and they did it for $800. My Passat runs better than even before the throttle body gave out. I recommend anyone with a German car that needs maintenance or restoration pay him a visit.

The two things you most want from your mechanic are skill and honesty. At this sleepy little shop, which has been an institution in the USF area for more than 40 years, you get both - in spades. Problems are expertly diagnosed and all options presented. There is never a question of integrity; never an effort at up-selling. The consequences of temporary vs. permanent fixes are explained, as well as the option of doing nothing. They go out of their way to contain costs by using rebuilt or salvaged parts whenever possible and appropriate. These folks understand both the functional and emotional relationship one has with his/her vehicle, and treat it as if it were their own. The facility may not satisfy the aesthetic tastes of some, and this isnt the place for quick in and out type service needs. But if you are looking for the utmost in quality and integrity, from folks with a work ethic second to none, youll not find a better place.

Went to have a bolt extracted on an aftermarket part, Jerry was able to take it out and have it back to me in a no time at all. Ultimately, South Florida Auto Repair saved me 225$. Thank you immensely Jerry!

Jerry and his staff do great work and at a reasonable price. While specializing in Volkswagen, they are also very knowledgeable on a variety of makes and models. I trust them with the maintenance of my familys three cars.

Took my car in Saturday for an overheating issue, and was quickly accessed to be a radiator issue. Got a fair and accurate estimate, and even got a ride from Jerry to pick up my car when it was ready. Staff was very nice and really knew what they were talking about. Overall a really good experience, highly recommended.

I went here on a Saturday to get a transmission fluid leak checked out. They serviced my vehicle immediately (it was a relatively small fix) and were able to get my vehicle working great again in just a few hours before I had to leave for work. HUGE love for these guys!

A very nice gentleman who goes out of his way to provide excellent service.

Jerry is THE BEST!!! He does an excellent job with VW Beetles. I was very lucky to find him and trust him with my car. Fair pricing with passion and care for what he does. He is my go-to guy now for anything my Beetle needs.

Excellent work AND prices. Had to replace a computer part on my car (which are ludicrously expensive) and they were able to to find the parts for much cheaper price. I would highly recommend taking your car here.

I have been a customer of Jerrys for more than 15 years. He has serviced all of my cars during that time. He is honest, reliable and the best mechanic I have ever seen. Reasonable pricing with excellent service. Sincerely, Virgil Colden

I came to this shop expecting to pay 700$ in repairs another shop told me I needed, and I walked away not paying a cent! Jerry took the time to show me exactly what was up with my car, showed me the quick fix he did, and explained exactly what state my car was in. He didnt charge me a thing for the inspection and repair! He was wonderful!

I had my front suspension refreshed a few weeks ago. Jerry and his staff did a good job at a fair price. Car handles nicely now.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Absolutely amazing! Fast service and very nice guy! He even showed me the hroken parts on my car and how they work.

Did a great job and found exactly what I knew must have been messing with the vehicle. Within 48 hours, I had my car ready to go. No more squeaking or risking my belt falling out. Highly recommended for anyone in the area.

I had to drop of my buddy’s car and I was going going to walk home but Jerry offered me a ride. Great business.

Jerry is a lifesaver! I am not local to Tampa and was visiting USF for work. My car overheated. I brought my car in around 5 on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning Jerry called to explain what the problem was (a cooling fan.) By Wednesday afternoon the problem was fixed and I had my car back. Jerry even gave me a ride back to my hotel *and* picked me up from USF so I didnt have to pay for an Uber. The price for the repair was reasonable and fair. Overall a great experience despite the stress of car troubles. Dont let the messy office fool you, this is a very professional and reliable business. I wish all auto mechanics were this good.

Mr. Jerry was very kind. For a college student in need he was very understanding and knew what he was doing! I had a great experience.

2 weeks ago, I brought my Jetta to Jerry due to a A/C failure. It was my first visit to Jerry and was purposed for a second opinion, before that, I was told by some other mechanics that the whole A/C kit needs to be replaced (compressor, drier, condenser) and it would cost more than $1K. Then Jerry came and saved the day, after inspection, he confirmed me that only the control valve need to be replaced, which would cost less than $500. Now, after 2 weeks, the A/C keeps blowing freezing air and without an issue. Thanks to Jerry for the remarkable work! And Jerry also polished the headlight of my old Jetta, for FREE!!! which couldnt be better! Overall, if anyone owns a German car and needs a mechanic, GO to see Jerry, at least for a second opinion, then Jerry would prove to you that hes the mechanic you need.

Jerry is great!! Went in for something very simple and was taken care of immediately. I will defiantly keep this place in mind if anything ever happens to my car.

Jerry is really nice and they got the job done in under an hour. It came out perfect, I definitely recommend.

Very great service and Jerry was very helpful.

Jerry is a really nice guy and super helpful. I tried to replace the cabin air filter of my Honda accord 2001. It was a tough job for someone who did for the first time and I couldnt get out the last screw since it was a little bit damaged. Jerry helped me take out the screw and finish the job. So professional and so friendly. He is also a USF alumni from engineering department!Best place around USF!Gonna be there next time to take care of my old Honda.

I have been going here for five years, Jerry and his team are very professional and always provides honest quotes. Jerry takes that next step in customer service by, actually showing me the failing part and explains to me what went wrong. Jerry and his team are once in lifetime mechanics, you will never find a fairer or nicer guy. No job is too big or too small, just one call and Jerry and his team are there to help!!!

Jerry treated me great and honest! He helped me patch and plug two of my tires with great and affordable deals. I would suggest anyone to have him work on your car.

Jerry at South Florida Auto will always provide excellent, above and beyond honest service. Jerry has been servicing my cars (BMWs, Mercedes, Hondas and Fords) for 30 years. I have had cars serviced by the dealers due to warranties and have not had the top rated and honest services Jerry always provides. No, he doesnt have the free beverage bar, courtesy lounge or loaner cars but that is all made up and more by him doing the truly required quality work at honest reasonable price. He has gone way above and beyond to pick me up take me to work and deliver my car to me. Most important to me as a lady, I completely trust him and his expertise as my mechanic.

I have Jerry’s place to go to if I’m stuck in Tampa again. My car battery died right at Wawas. He was the closest mechanic shop and so I called there. I was blessed someone picked up the phone right when It was closing hours. I’m from St. Pete and have to drive my dad to Moffit for the next month. Moffit center only about a mile away. He was sweet and came by to diagnose my car after closing hrs since I’m only a mile away. Surely enough the battery died on my old car. The major point is he took his time to pick up the phone right At 5:30pm and drove to Wawas to see what’s wrong and jump started my car after the shop was closed. It would’ve took hrs if I waited for someone from St. Pete bc it was rush hour. Best customer service of the year!!! Thank you Jerry!

Jerry has been taking care of my Civic (affectionately named Roberto) since I moved to Florida about 2 years ago from Upstate NY (where he is from as well!). He is fantastic and so efficient. Ive never felt more comfortable bringing Roberto somewhere. I know when I need something I can always call. I was driving from SC to Tampa on a Thursday night and my car overheated -- I pulled over and called Jerry right away and he was able to talk me through what I needed to do and I got in the next morning to the garage to get everything taken care of. His prices are reasonable and Ive recommended him to many of my friends. Hes conveniently located near my job (VA hospital) and can drop off my car and walk over - Jerry always offers me a ride. I wish I could give him more stars!!!!!

Jerry is a really nice guy who will not charge u for something that does not need to be done. I saved about 900$ by getting my car problem solved while Nissan dealer would have charged me for that. He will also not tell you something if it didnt need to happen. He will call you and tell you what is wrong with the car and only proceed for what you tell him. Also shows you what he worked on and explains you what and why it had happened. He is also an actual graduate from USF so he knows his stuff. Thanks Jerry

Jerry at South Florida Auto has been a lifesaver for me. My 2010 BMW 128i Air Conditioner died and Jerry and his team replaced the defective and worn parts by having to remove the entire dashboard and electrical guts of the car.This was a huge job spanning a number of days and Jerry and his team got the job done and did it at a fairer price than what the BMW dealer wanted to charge me.Despite the near 100 degree heat here in the Tampa Bay Area at this time of year, my BMW is like a refrigerator inside, that is COOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!CHRISTOPHER L.6/23/17

Went there with my Honda CRV. My car started to take a 3 sec delay when starting. Theres a $75 diagnostics fee even if the diagnostics is wrong at this place. Jerry, the owner, insisted that my alternator is bad and, hence, the battery, and the alternator needs to be replaced for $420 and hes already ordered one for me lat night. The thing is that he never saw my car until the AM after, I was wondering why he would order an alternator for me. He also said he was charging my battery for so many hours thats why it took him so long. I got the feeling it was a total lie but I still had to pay $75. I went to PepBoys the night before, they checked my battery and alternator for free and they said they were totally fine and my starter might be going bad.I went to Honda dealership after I went to South Florida Auto and even they did my diagnostics for free! They said my battery and alternator are totally fine and I need to change a starter. The problem doesnt even sound like it would be an alternator in the first place.Also, Jerry told me he would give me a ride back home. What he didnt say is that hes going to give me a ride in my own car and then drive it back. I had to write down the mileage in front of him to make sure he wont be driving my car around town. He also kept asking if Im a student and what do I do, and if Im local. It felt like he was trying to get a sense of how much he can charge me.I am very very upset with the owner of this place for such a lie and the money he just wanted to make on me and my time that he wasted.

He is amazing! Told me to go to the dealer because the seatbelts were malfunctioning. I ended going and getting it fixed for FREE. So he saved me a ton of money! He replaced my plate lights. He is my go to guy when my car needs repairing!

I have been taking my vehicles to Jerry and his team of highly trained professionals for many years and will continue to do so. I first went to South Florida because I had a Volkswagen and the shop is located near my workplace. Best decision I ever made! Not only are any problems diagnosed and repaired in a VERY timely manner, any other potential problems are reported as well not because of any attempts to upsell so far as work being done but so Im aware of what I need to plan for and as a single parent in a one vehicle household it is imperative I have reliable transportation. Jerry has never steered me wrong and I trust him and the South Florida team implicitly. I hsve referred several co-workers and colleagues to Jerry and all have been very pleased and quite complimentary about the South Florida staff. Take your vehicles here knowing youll get caring, professional, honest service always!

I have been a long time customer at South Florida Auto Repair, I have always received great service. I can highly recommend this business to anyone their auto repair needs. The owner, Mr. Mastrogiovanni is very knowledgeable. It speaks highly of him that he has been running his business so successfully for many decades. It is not easy these days to find an auto repair facility that you can trust. I am fortunate to have been a loyal customer and welcome the opportunity to recommend South Florida Auto Repair to anyone. Imre.

Jerry is an excellent diagnostician - having a degree in Engineering, together with over 40 years of experience results in him knowing how to solve the problem. Hes the Internal Medicine Specialist of auto diagnostics and repair. He has very high expectations and he will not quit until he solves the problem. He takes a practical, preventive approach, which at times may cost a bit more, but in the LONG RUN..... YOU SAVE MORE. No only do you save by not having catastrophic costly break down episodes, but you lessen the likelihood of breaking down on the road..... which is PRICELESS. Thanks Jerry for years of mechanical support and expertise. PS: The Jokes are always pretty good too!!!!!!!
