Friendly service! They are good at diagnosing problems. Fast repairs, very good with old vehicles. Mark is very helpful he will make the repair painless.

My car broke down on a Sunday with a shyft linkage broke. I have the car tow to their shop. Firstly! the guy gave me a speech we are honest and transparent. Monday, they never checked the car on Tuesday finally told me what I already knew and trying to charge me $450 for a shift linkage that was wrong, after I complained the honest and transparent guy told me can take the car somewhere else he knew I cant drove the car anywhere wrong again, they removed $127 in charge $333 for a job that of cost me $220 - - 250. They gave me the black charge, above market rate and took 3 days to replace shifting linkage and gave me the car back with engine light on.

So yesterday I tried to start my car and it was barely able to turn over and start, Once it started I drove to Advanced Automotive Parts because it was after work/5pm and they were still open, I had them test my battery and alternator - - They showed me the machine they used and said it was the alternator. The guy seemed somewhat unsure - because sometimes their tester does not reveal everything...Anyway, I purchased the part just in case and was going to have The Automotive Center of Temple Terrace replace the part - I took my car down there the next morning at 7AM, they were able to take a look at it then and diagnose that it was a BATTERY issue and not the Alternator, They changed out the battery fast and at a very good price. I go there for other things like oil changes also - -Great Family owned shop, Professional, and HONEST - - Having a good mechanic is important ---Glad I found them.Andrew Barker

After reading the reviews I decided to give this place a chance. AMAZING!!! They are honest and the customer service is great. I will for sure come back here for any services I need done.

They always have better prices than the competition and theyre really nice guys.

Honest, great work and great value! Joel helped us with a great deal on an SUV. Even threw in new back brakes. Les is also a very funny guy. Whole experience was the opposite of every other dealership Ive ever encountered. Thanks guys!

Good people and reasonable priced

Been going to this shop for years. I totally trust their integrity, honesty, and overall commitment to getting the work done right.

Honest and thorough mechanics can be found here

This was a while back, but when other mechanics told me Id likely have to get a new engine to fix my lease, they were able to repair my issue for about $100. The owner also was talking to me about science stuff during another repair. And a third time they delayed a part order as they thought I could save money by ordering the part myself, so theyre clearly not just in it to milk money from their customers. They also offered me a free ride back home while I waited on a repair. Definitely my go-to local business mechanic.

Thee gentleman are the greatest and they are honest. Cant say enough about them. A gift from Heaven. 😇👍😻

I bought a car with Joel and it was the best car buy-ing experience that I have had . Very professional and honest. He didnt try to over charge or over sell me. I am a single mom and on a budget and he worked a fair deal with me. He was quick and efficient. I wont ever go anywhere else.

This place is so honest and reliable you cant go wrong. They will not try to talk you into extra stuff you dont need. And their prices are very good. Theyve been in business a long time and its easy to see why.

By far the best mechanic I have ever been to. They are trustworthy and are full of integrity which is sometimes hard to find in mechanics. They have proven themselves over and over and over again to me. I am the kind of person who never writes reviews for things but they have earned one by the exceptional service and integrity they have shown over an extended period of time.

The most caring mechanic in town, bar none. Ive been going to this place for nearly 10 years and I recommend them to everyone I know. You wont be nickle-and-dimed, you wont get fees you werent expecting, and everything is explained to you plainly and friendly without gimmicks or tricks. Heck, theyre even just nice to talk to on the phone!One of the few small businesses that still truly offers service with a smile. :)

See a lot of great reviews but maybe staff has changed lately. I took my car in and paid for the secondary service which should have included oil change and filter change along with all fluids checked as well as tire pressure. Got my car back and some tires were still low, a day or two later all the lights were checked on (check engine, coolant, brake fluid) and when double checked were near empty, meaning they didnt actually do the job. Dont plan on bringing my vehicle back here ever again.

Take your car here!! I recently moved to Denver from Tampa and I miss this place so much because theyre super honest and I felt very valued as a customer. I called Automotive Center Temple Terrace today to get a second opinion on a $2500 repair quote I got from a shop in Denver and they were so helpful and walked me through the necessity of the repair and gave me great recommendations (and it was a Friday so Im sure they were busy). I hope to find a shop as great as this one in my new area!

I don’t know about the auto shop side of this business but the used car lot side of this business is a joke. Joel (the owner) is a typical used car salesman. He will rig something and make it work for the time being and after time it will break. We bought a car from him and the same day the brakes almost went out and the key got stuck in the ignition in the off position then got stuck in the on position. I would rather walk everywhere than buy a used car from this business. I called the owner and he said there is nothing I can do for you. If you like getting screwed over this is the place for you.

Very friendly. Had a good experience. Got brand new tires for low cost and good auto service too. I would recommend this place to others

Honesty, quality, precision. Cant go wrong with them. They have kept me and my family safe for decades.

Got nothing but respect for honesty. These guys were honest enough to tell me that they werent 100% comfortable with repairing my leaking condenser on my 2008 Lexus LS460, so they topped me off with freon and referred me to a mechanic that specializes in Lexus, thats not the dealer, and they didnt even charge me for it. All I have to say is WOW! Thats pretty impressive. Honesty goes a long way in my book when dealing with car repairs. Thanks.

Old school originals still running the place! You will NOT get ripped off here! Welcoming to the female population & they dont talk down to you either. Will also provide a ride to work, if your car is being serviced.

Absolute best auto repair shop I have ever used.

Very nice community people. Very reasonable and they let you know exactly whats wrong with your vehicle. Also they work according to you budget!!!

The staff here is honest and trustworthy! I will be recommending everyone I know to take their cars to this place.

This is the most professional and fair automotive establishment I have ever dealt with.They were able to fix a very complicated air conditioning mess in a hurry and explained every step along the way. Dealing with Eddie was a pleasure.The experience was nothing but positive from the ride they gave me to work to the easy check out experience.Automotive Center has a new customer for life!!!!

These guys took care of me and made the whole process really easy. I definitely got the sense that they had my best interest in mind

5 star service all the time no matter what the problem.

I will be recommending everyone I know to take thier cars to this place. Mark and his staff are honest and trustworthy!

These guys seem really honest and they will make you laugh while youre waiting for your car. Im serious, they are natural born comedians. Their prices are really reasonable and they wont try to add on any unnecessary work. They also get jobs done in a timely manner.

Truly the best and most honest mechanics I have ever come across. They will do anything to accommodate and have extremely fair pricing. What really distinguishes these guys is their honesty and dedication to doing a good job. They diagnosed and fixed my scion xb just one day. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very unprofessional!! I called for a simple estimate and was treated as if I didnt have any money to pay. I dont know how the person on the other end got that from my general questions but I felt mistreated. This is not the first place that I called in reference to this service however this will be my LAST TIME calling them for ANYTHING. When a customer ask for a price saying very expensive is NOT the answer we as customers are looking for. FIND SOME PROFESSIONALISM!!

Terrific experience. Truly do a wonderful job taking care of customers. On my first visit on 10/1/16, I brought in a 10 year old car I was thinking of buying to see if there were major issues or concerns. Quickly, they gathered some information - within 10 minutes, they had the car up on the rack. Once they reviewed the car in depth, we were given a very complete tour of potential trouble spots - and what they might mean, as well as the positive technical points, and what they meant. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and completed a very thorough evaluation of the car in very reasonable time. I learned two things on 10/1: (1) whether to purchase the used car, and (2) that this is an excellent car service place I would both return to and recommend. Superb!

Our truck broke down while spending last Saturday in Tampa. They helped us immediately for a great price. They really seem to care about getting you back into a working vehicle. We had a great experience with them.

Had an issue with my drivers side window which presented a challenge. I was impressed by Eddy and his staff, they stood behind their work and did the best to resolve it as fast as practical. The level of customer service was of the highest quality and I would recommend this shop without reservation.

Over 30 years of personal experience with this business. This is an auto repair shop that you can trust and women can feel comfortable and taken seriously.

Friendly N Helpful

We love them. We have used them many times, and weve never been disappointed.

These guys rock becsause of great & reasonable service. Theyre always ready and willing to service my wifes car & my truck. These are the only mechanics I trust in Tampa.

My car broke down on a Friday morning and they were able to take me in and fix my car. They are honest and dont try to rip you off. I will be a repeat customer.

Great place to take your vehicle got us in right away even though we were from out of town and they were busy. very reasonable they did great work I would highly recommend they are very friendly A+ service

Great place and Great Service! Also they are honest to!

Good service, no hassles or unexpected costs, definitely recommended. Fixed my cars AC for a third of what the dealerships wanted.

Trustworthy mechanics that do what is necessary. They give good advice. Quick work. Friendly.

Highly recommend, great people, professional work and honest. Best in Tampa!

These guys are very knowledgeable and trustworthy. My family has been using them for 30+ years. Highly recommend.

Lets face it .... cars are becoming more and more complicated and less and less understood. So, I needed a place that I knew was honest, could handle my car repairs, do it professionally, take the time to explain everything, provide a warranty (both parts and labor!) and at a fair price. OK, I know that is quite the laundry list, however, ureka I found it here. From my first visit almost a year ago until today I have not been disappointed and now even feel like one of the family. Their casual and friendly approach has always made me feel most welcome and appreciated as a customer. Sooooooo glad I found them. And, my car is happy too!

My family has been going here for years! Super honest, great service! We have never been disappointed.

Always good experience when I come here. They are trustworthy and dont try to intimidate. HIGHLY recommend.

Great service. Always friendly.

Honest, fair, and what a hometown auto shop should be. Im a DIY customer of ACTT. I can rely that their advice is going to be accurate. If I can fix it myself, theyll tell me. If I cant, I know they will fix it in a timely fashion with high quality work.

The owner is a wonderful person, explained everything simply but thoroughly would definitely recommend over other places

I brought my car in today because of an oil leak. I went to this place because Ive been to many auto repair places in Tampa and have had quite a few bad experiences and surprises regarding the amount I had to pay for the repair. As a woman I often feel like I am being overcharged because I do not know enough about cars. They checked my car immediately without asking for a diagnostic fee. Every place Ive been to in Tampa other than this place has charged me anywhere from 30 to 70 dollars just to tell me what is wrong with my car. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs their car repaired. They did a great job and were very friendly. The cost of the repair was a lot cheaper than I had expected.

They fixed the car .

Very good customer service and honest.

I had a problem with my car battery. Took it in and the manager resolved the issue Very Fast. I have been taking my car there for years. They have a great team and it is the same people in mgmt, unlike a lot of these other corporate repair shops. They are honest and have fair prices on their work. I even bought a car, 2006 nissan Sentra, for my daughter from them years ago, and still have it. Great Repair shop and more..Thanks, Drew Barker,,1/2/2017

My husband and I having coming here for years and have never had a problem, very fair in price and great sense of humor

Great service and best of all, honest. Not often seen in auto repair.

Excellent repair shop

Honest, high quality work, fair prices need I say more?

Friendly local service. Not some chain that trys to recommend stuff that doesnt need to be done.

Recommend to everyone who likes an honest mechanic shop.

My car was making noises on the way to work, they were busy but they made time for me anyway! Told me the problem at no cost and how to fix it and I was on my way. I am so thankful for these guys. I will defiantly be going again if I have car trouble! A plus plus!

Honest people.

Great place for car service !

Worst place .all they do is steal your money and they do not care about you.They just care about the money.i hate when I ask something and they do not have a answer they charge you to check on different parts of the car for separate is That is BS do not visit this place trust me.

Very nice car service
