I'm not sure where these reviews come from saying that they are not friendly. Brian's team have always done right by me and I have never had a woman answer my calls as it is always Brian himself. They send you a report with images of their finding and never try to upsell you. He has taken care of my Mrs car for a decade now and she is the one that told me about this place. His prices are responsible and the work is always top notch. They are super reliable and I trust them with my car over the chains. I told Brian I had read the reviews about the ride woman and he said that was his ex wife. He said that she was rude a lot to the customers back then. read more

Recently had oil changes on my wife's car and my super duty Dually. Brain made my appointments and work was completed in under an hour. Took care of my vehicle as if it was his own. Shop is clean and no nonsense. And prices were great. Thank you A+ Brakes & Suspension read more

Full story: We got the brakes done today. Arrived 2:30pm. Just before going for the brake job, at 2pm, we had the tires checked at Brandon Collision Center (where we had previously had some work done.) Condition and pressure were good. When we started the car after the brake job the tire pressure alert came on. It was odd, but we thought it might be a sensor issue because the tires were removed and then put back. After all, we JUST had the tires looked at. But as soon as we got on the road we felt an issue. We pulled over as soon as we safely could, 0.4 miles from the shop, according to Google maps. They came out to look at it and saw the damage to the sidewall of the tire. A 3 inch gash. And had the nerve to tell us we must've hit something *without noticing it* after leaving the shop. Sidewall damage doesn't happen that way! THEN they lied about how far we drove, claiming we were 4 miles instead of less than half a mile, as if we couldn't tell the difference. They think we are too dumb to know better. Claimed zero responsibility because we drove off the lot. ***Shady, insulting, and unprofessional.*** We had to go and spend $130 on a new tire. read more

My Mazda Miata Convertible was full of water! We had some very very hard rains, and somehow water got into the car. When I hit the brakes, you could hear it sloshing around, so I took my car here, to see if they could help me. I was due for an oil change, so when my car was up in the air, they found the clogged water drain holes, and unclogged them for me. Yea! No more water sloshing around now, every time I stop! read more

BEWARE (WOW!!!) unbelievable the harassment that I endured at this place twenty minutes ago. I have never felt such need to warn people of a company until now. Went in for a free brake inspection and because I would not have an $800 dollar front brake job done on my F-150 the very unprofessional witch who apparently is the wife of the owner demanded payment for the (FREE) brake inspection. It was told to me that the inspection was free before I handed over my keys. First of all, most people know that a brake job for just one axle on a ford F-150 does not cost $800, even if replacing rotors. By the way, that price only included replacing one rotor. Second, the way the husband threatened me and told me that my truck would be towed away if I did not pay $150 for the inspection shows the scoundrels these people really are. It's a shame that there are companies like this out there that take advantage of people and threaten to tow your vehicle away if you don't do what they say. Well, the minute I said I was calling the Sheriff's office, within fifteen minutes my truck was returned. (hopefully undamaged) The entire time the husband was telling me to grow up because I was taking video to make sure he did not damage my truck. As I recorded the process from far away at a safe distance the husband was screaming irately to make sure I got his good side. I guess it was funny to him and this is the way they normally treat their customers. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO THE WORK!!! read more

When I called to ask for a quote on having my timing belt replaced the female person answering the phone told me that I was "Crazy" for driving my car around without having had that done before now. That the repair would take about three days and cost approximately $1300 because the job was so labor-intensive. When I dropped off my car this morning, the person in the shop (that I'm guessing is her husband??) told me the price was $1600. I also had told him to make sure and call my phone number if he had any questions or concerns, and he said he always "calls the husband". Anyway, the repair was done in five hours not three days and they absolutely held me to the $1600 quote, even though that was far less labor hours. So basically I paid $1600 for a five hour repair job, and when I asked why it was so fast, he said "because we're good" for some reason I feel utterly and completely ripped off. And the husband denied that his wife told me three days and that his wife quoted me $1300 never again! read more

Excellent service!! We always take our cars to Brian and his wife. Once again he blows everyone away in price and service. We take our Infiniti and Mercedes to them every time we need something done. My question to anyone reading this: Why would you pay 100's even 1000's of dollars to a Mercedes dealership, etc... when you can take it to Brian for better work, better service and way less expensive?!! Chris and I will never go to anyone else!!!! Thank you guys. read more

Been going here for years now, and they're the only shop we trust to give us great service for a great price. Brian and Jami are awesome, and I can't recommend them enough! They've always been honest and only recommend work that is needed for the vehicles. Never try to push anything, and always turn around the cars quickly! read more

Wow! Woman at the front desk was so rude and annoyed I walked into her work place I almost turned around to walk out, instead I asked if it was a bad day to come in, she said "well, it's Saturday, what do you think" (I was standing in front of her in my work uniform as well). If I'm not mistaken, without customers she wouldn't have a job.... I sat in the lobby for about 30 minutes and thought to myself maybe I should look at this place of business up on Yelp.. Thank goodness I did, I read the terrible reviews and asked for keys back .. I'll NEVER go back to such rude service. read more

Have owned cars for over 50 years. Competent, honest service with reasonable prices is hard to come by. They have consistently and quickly solved problems that other shops couldn't. Can't tell what the facts are on some of the negative reviews are but they appear long on drama and not a lot about actual service. Never had anything but excellent service and fair treatment. read more

Disappointed My check brake and rear light went on Took my car to their shop, we said it was drivers brake light. When we picked it up , I was charged $41.00 labor to replace a $3.50 light bulb. Really it takes 1/2 hour? 99% of Auto shops will replace it for the cost of the bulb, I've had many bulbs replaced before on BMW & Mercedes with no charge The Brake light went on as soon I picked it up, I went back, the invoice did not state which side the bulb was replaced. The left side was never even looked at, since they now noticed their was electrical tape and couldnt explain why it was never even looked it. Will not recommend or go back to this shop read more

Jamie and Brian and their entire shop is great! The new age high Tech inspection program with actual pictures is the best thing I have ever seen! I know exactly what they saw and no question on what was going on with my car! This not only shows the honesty they have but also gives me a piece of mind that my Jeep is in great hands! This is very important to me because I drive from Florida to Texas often and I know I am good to go to hit the road! If you need your brakes checked, oil changed, filter change and more, definitely come to these guys! The prices are great too! The best in not only Brandon but Tampa! read more

We are a military family new to the area looking for a mechanic we could trust. After a scan of nearby places on the internet, I selected A+ Brakes & Suspension. I talked to both Jamie & Brian throughout the process and thought both were very professional. My teenager's 2005 Corolla's brakes were squeaking and steering wheel shaking at high speeds. They replaced the front brakes pads & machined the rotors which fixed the problem. They also identified a couple other things to keep an eye on, but didn't pressure me to fix immediately. They took pictures of those and emailed them to me. 5000 miles from now, when I get the next oil change they'll give a status check on those. I got an oil change while the car was in the shop as well. They told me the air filter was fine and didn't need replaced; I think most places I get my oil changed at these days takes a handful of leaves/dirt from out back and puts it on my air filter to try and convince me it needs replaced, even though it was replaced three months ago. I was extremely pleased and will take my other cars there for service when necessary. read more

This "place of business" is certainly not kid friendly. I am a single mom who went in for an inspection on my brakes and my son came a long. My son was so excited to bring his toy car to "the place where they fix cars mommy" and it was disappointing to know that the sound of my son's car rolling on the counter bothered the owner so much to where she screamed for him to stop. I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone. read more
