I was recommended this place by a coworker. I brought my car in for a noise that the car was making. They said it was the lower control arms. I was also having issues with my other vehicle with the A/C, brought that in the same week to get both cars back to normal. We told them it could be the compressor. They stated it was a fan that went out. Then a couple days later the car still wasn't blowing cold air. Brought it back and they THEN said it was the compressor. We fixed it and now when the car is idle, the A/C doesn't blow cold air. Basically the car has to be running at a certain speed for it to blow cold air. I'm guessing the condenser is the issue now but you would think as an auto repair place they would check THE WHOLE SYSTEM. Almost $2000 later, one car is still making the same noise and the other's A/C isn't working. The people are nice, I'll give them that. It's so hard to find a good mechanic. I definitely had high hopes. read more

Top tier service, top tier place! These aren't the guys who will even charge for the little things! 10/10 great people

Mom & Pop auto shop, run by their son who evidently grew up in a garage. First time in, I needed them to check engine light. The guys diagnosed my problem and had me back on the street in no time. With no charge! Unheard of, at least in my neck of the woods. Friendly, on-time and quality work. I always feel like I'm in good hands with A&A! read more

I have taken my 73 CJ5 there multiple times and they continue to provide an excellent service with five star customer service. True family own business that has respect for the customer is hard to find. read more

These guys are seriously the best. I used to be a student just down the road at the University of Tampa, and every time I had a small issue with my car, they helped me out quickly and without any hassle. They've always treated me like family and really go the extra mile. Easily the kindest, hardest-working car shop in the area--and they always make sure the job is done right. If you're a student, a parent, or just someone local, I highly recommend bringing your car here. read more

Needed a radiator replacement so I called and they got me in and done the very next day. Fantastic prices, they'll beat anyone around. Great work and the process was easy. Great service! I'll be a regular. read more

My brakes started screeching while driving down the highway after a stop. I pulled off to explore Ybor City before driving farther to find a mechanic, and this place was conveniently located right where I was already doing. I popped in last minute and they worked to get me in SO QUICKLY after I told them I was traveling and not local. The price was fair and they were extremely polite. I would recommend them over and over again! read more

A & A Auto is the most honest and reasonably priced auto shop I've ever been to. Very often the repair costs are well under what was expected, often times because some anticipated repairs weren't actually needed. Mike and Carla are great people and I now consider them friends. I now refer all friends and family there and they have had the same great experiences. read more

Very high quality mechanic and auto repair shop, very honest, hard working and respectful company. Everyone there is friendly and wants to help you, very refreshing local quality service you can trust (which is hard to find these days) Service you can rely on, do not hesitate to go here for all your oil changes, brakes, tires, battery, AC, electrical and mechanical car problems, they will fix it fast and take good care of you, thank you Mike, Xavier, and Rob for your service and expertise read more

This place is another hidden gem of Ybor City. Talk about the service/hospitality industry working together!!! They took such good care of me, probably too good! I had a window stuck down that wouldn't roll up, my last mechanic charged me $75 to pull it up...these guys, well let's just say they took very good care of me AND they unplugged it. Now no one can unroll it until I get the new motor. Did I mention it was all in time before I needed to be back at work?! Incredibly friendly and great service! thanks Ybor Fam!!! read more

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I get into my car in my way to work and get a low tire pressure notification. I check and see there is a nail in one of the passenger tires. Luckily A&A was close. I arrive and Xavier was very courteous and professional. He saw that I was on my way to work and quickly began to work to patch my tire. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I will definitely be returning for future car needs. It's very hard to find honest, kind and professional people and I'm am grateful to have found this business. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I have never found a body shop before with the nicest, most knowledgeable staff that are only there to fix your car. As a woman, it is incredibly difficult to find a shop where you not only feel heard but respected. A & A is that place. I went for an oil change not that long ago at another shop. At the end, the tech told me he had noticed that I had an oil leak. He had dripped some oil around and left my oil cap off to further prove his point. He quoted his "good deal." I drove around terrified for a few days, checking the levels way more often than necessary, worrying that running errands could ruin my car. I finally called A&A in a panic. The man (the owner, I believe) who answered the phone really listened to me, and called me an hour after I dropped it off to tell me that I did not have an oil leak at all! There was a teeny little part that needed to be replaced, my car would be ready by early afternoon... OH, and A&A charged me half of the oil change tech's "good deal." I tell EVERYONE how wonderful this place is, and it is so great to have a trustworthy auto shop in town. :) Please do not ever go out of business! read more

I had the misfortune to get a flat tire that could not be repaired and the auto club was 2 hours behind on appointments. These guys dropped everything and had me back on the road in a jiffy. And their office is pretty cool also. read more

Absolutely fantastic service, our car started over heating while on a 6000 mile adventure. We pulled off the highway and called a few shops, A&A immediately offered help, we took our Chevy van in and he spent time looking at it and troubleshooting. Very kind, cared about helping us at that moment and helped us get back on the road ASAP! read more

Mike from A & A Auto Repair shop really saved my life! My friends and I were going on a road trip up to Tallahassee, and we wanted to stop by Tampa for lunch. We were driving from Broward to Tampa so it was quite the distance. 14 minutes from arriving to a restaurant in Tampa for lunch, I hit a ditch and that caused the left side of my car to create this repeated crackling noise to occur when I drove over 40 miles per hour. I was someone who had no experience with the internal structures of cars. I definitely regret not learning more about my car. So being a group of three college girls, we went to the nearest car repair shop, which thankfully was A & A Auto Repair. When we got there, we were directed to a heavily decorated office. There were many things hung up from the past and the interior design reflected the disco era years. The desk was basically designed as a car and so were some of the seats. And there, we met Mike, who was super helpful and understanding. Mike probably got the feeling that we didn't know much about cars so he explained a lot of things for us. He easily identified the issue by one quick look and fixed what he could for us. He directed us to Firestone so we could get identical wheels to the original ones. He gave us his time and service for FREE, which we really appreciated. His advice led us to firestone which in the end we got two new tires and a re-alignment done. This was my first time at a car repair shop and I was glad it was with Mike and A & A auto repair shop! Amazing help with great people working there! read more

Recently my 2011 G37 convertible had a water pump leak. On this car it's big job. The. Pump is located behind the timing belt. Mike and the guys knocked it out in a day in a half! Change all the necessary parts and got me back on the road quick. That way I've been coming here for at least 8 years now. They are always friendly and understanding. They do the hard stuff and smile about. Thanks guys. read more

A&A Auto is the best place in Tampa to get any work/service done on your vehicle. I have been going to them since I got my car and they have been nothing, but the best. They always offer honest pricing and are just a great team! 10/10 Recommend read more

Dave was so helpful! I went there after accident due to flooding for collision repair. They met every deadline to the mark. Worked with insurance company directly and price and promises all kept! I will be using them from here on out! Great service and no con mentally - professional top notch service. Highly recommend! read more

This place does all the cars for various law enforcement so you know they are honest. They have a long family tradition of doing things the right way and building relationships. I would definitely recommend them to anyone because it's so hard to find a good mechanic. read more

Jack Safie of A & A Auto Repair is the most honest, professional, nicest mechanic I've dealt with in 25 years of owning cars. He was recommended to me by my brother in law and I've been taking my car to Jack for 4 years now. He's always eager to help me out and I've never had to deal with the "laundry list" of things that need to be fixed when I take my car in for maintenance, etc. They do great work there and even though they're always busy, they always take the time to listen to your requests and then they even ask you about your family and how you've been since the last time they saw you! Jack doesn't overcharge or take advantage in any way and, as a woman dealing with a mechanic, that's almost a miracle! I recommend Jack Safie and his shop to everyone! read more

A&A deserves more than just 5 stars! The absolute best place to take your car when you need work done. They are HONEST and do the work right for a fair price! read more

These guys are great!! i called in at 9 am on a friday to see if there was anyway to get my car in and checked out before the weekend. I wasnt sure what was wrong (i figured it was my brake pads needing a change) so i took my car in at 11 and he called me tell me he could get everything done by 6 pm the same day! Being a young female, i wasnt sure really what to expect with car troubles, but he explained everything to me and even showed me my old brake pads to compare to what they needed to be. I was concernred that i would be taken advantage of by other shops, but was extemely happy with this shop! i will be returning for all my car needs!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I agree with the other review from Angela. I've know jack for over 25yrs and he has fixed my Mercedes, BMW, Mazda, 350z, etc. He is a very honest man and has always ran his business with the utmost integrity! Christina L read more

We were on vacation and my ac went out. I looked up to find an auto repair shop near by. There were at least a dozen of repairshops. I saw A&A repairshop with great reviews. I decided to go to them and they were great! They checked my ac system out and it was working at the time. They told me that the ac and heating switch could be the problem. Since the ac was working at the time, they did not fix anything. They told me to enjoy my vacation and did not charge me anything to check my ac out. I would highly recommend them. read more

My parents own a car repair shop up in Minnesota, which has been in the family for 115 years. Growing up, my parents always prided themselves on providing quality repairs on what NEEDED to be repaired and nothing else, and not incentivising employees to try and sell the customer on repairs that didn't need to be done. When I moved down to Florida almost 4 years ago, I was reluctant to bring my car in because I know how hard it is to find an honest mechanic. Which was proven when I went to two other shops that handed me a laundry list of repairs (none of which turned out to be necessary). Luckily, fate (and a blown out tire) brought me to A & A Auto, where I encountered some of the greatest, most hard working and honest people! I am incredibly happy that I found my way to A&A, they always find time to make my repairs right away and do quality repairs. Not to mention, they make great company! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Both times I've taken my car here they could've told me it needed something extra and then charged me more, but they didn't. Clearly honest. This is the only place I'll take my car when it needs work. read more

These guys are amazing! They got me in immediately and kept me informed during all stages of diagnosis. Super fair pricing and had my vehicle patched up before I had to get to work. Even offered to give me a ride home while I waited since I live nearby in Ybor. Will definitely be going to them for tune ups from now on! read more

I cant say enough about this place. Honest, ethical, smart, and they do an amazing job. So rare for auto repair shops these days. A true gem, highly recommend them! read more

These guys are awesome. On my first visit, I had an oil change and because of the great service I came back two days later when my engine light would not turn off. A test was administered to see if the alternator or the battery was the culprit. It was discovered, however, that the alternator needed replacement along with an accompanying part and the serpentine belt. In the end, the manager did not charge me for the alternator because of a prior test that was inaccurate. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that gesture. It goes to show how honest and customer-oriented A&A Auto Repair is. As a result, I plan on bringing my car here in the future for any mechanical needs. read more

I heard about A&A from a friend and I could not be happier with the service I got from this mechanic ! They are honest and they will not try to make you pay for things that you do not need to have done to your car. I wont go to any other mechanic in tampa ! read more
