Family owned repair shop the way that it should be done. Fast, friendly service no matter if you need just an oil change, brakes, leaking radiator, which I had last week! They give fast estimates with professional staff read more

See all

Nice small garage. They seem to be busy enough that they don't gauge their customers. Just tell them what you need done and they get to it. I hate going into the dealership for an oil change and being told I need $2,000 in other repairs. If something needs fixing, Insty will let me know. Otherwise, they just get me out s quickly as they can. Easy read more

When you need service give the guys at Insty Tune a chance. Fast courteous service. I had my oil change and tires rotated in less than 45 minutes. read more

I needed brake pads and rotors on my car. I knew that the other repair shop that had given me an estimate was way overpriced. My neighbors have been going here for years so I decided to call. Spoke to Dave, he gave me a quote and told me I could bring it in today. Work was completed super fast and we added in an oil change! Can't thank you enough for the speed, reasonable prices and great service! We'll be back! read more

Great experience, exceptional service, and the technicians got my 20 year old car engine looking and running like brand new. Our family definitely recommends this local business. read more

Literally the best mechanics. Fast service, always technical, always honest and fair. I will never go anywhere else!

I've come here a couple times: once for an oil change and once for a transmission flush. The pricing is a little on the high end but certainly not unreasonable. The staff is friendly and both times they've been able to squeeze me in at the last minute while maintaining quick service. read more

I requested to have my brakes checked. The mechanic (who apparently made the mistake of thinking I'm an idiot) said that he could tell me immediately whether I needed brakes or not (!). He shined a flashlight into my wheels and told me that I needed both front and rear brakes. He said the price is $489 per axle (ridiculous!). I drove away and will never be back. Nice job losing a potential customer, buddy. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Insty Tune & Lube! I always bring my car here when something isn't right and all the guys at the shop are caring, knowledgeable, and respectful! Also, they are truthful and reliable which is uncommon in most car shops! They tell you exactly what's going on and how they can help (or if they can't!). They aren't out to take your money, they genuinely want to fix your car for reasonable prices. I highly recommend bringing your car here for any services or malfunctions! read more

Never going back. Plain & Simple - can't contest that I had to go back multiple times for them to finally fix the issue I originally came in for. Regardless if I'm ignorant on mechanic stuff or not - you should fix the issue and then verify the issue was fixed before you make customer pay and take vehicle home. Instead customer has to come back multiple times, pay you more $ to fix the original issue that brought truck in for and then you get upset bcz we post negative reviews. Wouldn't have kept going back if it wasn't for hoping they'd give me a discount or help because of their original incompetence to fix a truck. You all are short mannered, unorganized and seemed unprofessional. I went in for a clacking sound on front drivers side of truck. Mechanic rode with me and confirmed the noise. They said they'd fix the issue and I agreed to pay and pickup truck later. When I pickup the truck and drive out parking lot - immediately heard same clacking issue as when I first brought it in. Did they not drive it after supposedly "fixing" it?!??? Geezus. Had to go back next day and ask if they could please fix the truck. Got no real reason why they didn't fix the first time and my receipt had "Oil Change" on them and didn't have exactly what they did on truck. Nowhere on receipt did it have exactly what was fixed on the truck. I got no discount on the additional charge. I'm without vehicle for multiple days, lost time and spent ~$600 at this business. This place is very unorganized and slightly ill-mannered towards customers. I can get bad customer service anywhere - I'll go somewhere else. read more

Update to my review of Insty Tune After going back and forth with Andre at Insty Tune and Lube my best option was to have the repair completed at a different dealer and that Insty Tune would cover my deductible from my insurance and part of my rental. The engine was replaced with a engine with similar mileage. My out of pocket cost for a repair that should never have been needed If the original oil change was done properly was just under $200. Insty Tune and LUBE. My wife recently had her oil My wife had changed at Insty Tune and Lube 14783 N Dale Mabry Hwy Tampa, FL 33618 The mechanic did not tighten the oil filter properly per another mechanic at InstyTune and Lube. This caused the engine to run out of oil and destroy the engine. John (manager) will only offer to cover labor to replace engine forcing me to pay for cost of replacement engine, freight and rental car. Just want you to be aware of the level of service or lack there of being offered by John at Insty Tune and Lube read more

BEWARE....these people are out for your money and not your repeat business. I went in for an engine misfire and picked up the vehicle the next day with a $800 quote to replace 4 oxygen sensors. These are $30 pc at auto zone and can be put in in less than 1 hour. That's $600 profit!! I also asked to be notified for anything done on the vehicle costing over $100...walked out with a $280 bill and 0 call prior to the work being done. DONT GO HERE read more

I went here today after my engine light went on. They were very helpful in determining what was wrong. After connecting the analyzer​ to the car the "CHECK" engine light was for the backlights​. The light was reset and I will be observing if for now. What a nice group of people who run this place. I always hate to take my car anywhere since the outcome is so unknown. Since I was satisfied with there explanation​ and treatment I will be bringing my car back to them. read more

We were very impressed with the price, knowledge and ability. Keep them in mind as they are a great little hidden gem that truly is able to help you when in a jam. My battery in my Dodge was in a weird place and we couldn't change it ourselves. They did it within 20 mins and the price was fair and reasonable! Thanks guy! read more

This is the only place I would ever take my vehicle too! The mechanic's are amazing ! I have been taking my vehicle to them for years. They always keep me informed on upcoming maintenance that needs to be done on my vehicle. Never overcharge me and fantastic customer service ! 5 stars all the way !! read more

I am consistently impressed with the consistency in service, respect, and value I receive from the gentlemen at InstyTune. I send everyone I know, especially women who are intimidated by auto repair situations, to InstyTune because I know they'll leave comfortable with their experience. My family and I will be lifelong customers. Thank you John, Andre, and Chris for always being top-notch. read more

The customer service is awesome at Insty Tune & Lube! They did an excellent job on my brakes for a very fair and reasonable price. I've returned multiple times for quick oil changes on both my vehicle's and couldn't be happier with their level of service! read more

My mother was visiting from out of town and her car wouldn't start. We were able to get her car towed here and they were able to figure out the issue and have it fixed by the end of the day so she can drive back home. Thx guys for the excellent customer service and speediness!! read more

This is NOT your run of the mill Jiffy Lube type place where they try to upsell you and think women know nothing about cars. Thankfully my dad taught me how to check oil, fill oil, etc so when I saw my light go on in my VW warning me to stop I did and checked the oil. There was barely a dot at the end of the stick. So I called Insty Lube and spoke to John. He told me to put in a quart of oil and call him back so he could listen to the engine to make sure I didn't do any damage. I did and he listened and said its okay to drive and bring the car right to him. I did and they were going to just add more oil for me when I told them to go ahead and give me an oil change (it's been a year and almost 5000 miles)I've been coming here since I owned my PT Cruiser and now my VW and I've always been happy with their work! They do not try to take advantage and offer fair prices (much less than the service department at the dealer) Everyone who works here is ASE certified. The waiting room has a TV and is clean. I highly recommend it! read more

Brought my car here a couple of years ago and they ruined my master cylinder but replaced it at no cost. Good. Brought my car here on Sept 17 this year for rear brake job... $400 and only pads and rotors they said. When I get home the same day... The car is smoking and I can smell burning rubber around back left tire. I don't drive much but each time, short distances loud squeaky brakes... Just like when I took it in for repair. A little longer drive and the burning smell. Garage is 9 miles from my house. They said bring it in today and by the time I get here, smoke is pourng out around my back tire. Now they say my calipers were fine two weeks ago but one has now seized up. They want another &400 for calipers? Well, obviously the calipers were NOT fine two weeks ago and why didn't they fix it right the first time? I have no idea if they used quality parts or if they even really did that $400 brake job two weeks ago! Since they have squeaked just as loudly as when I brought it in on the 17th, every day I've used the car, I am wondering. This all is too suspect and I do not recommend them. If they fix this correctly today at no charge, as they should, then I will update my rating. UPDATE: Dec 20, 2016 Paid this place $600 and my brakes still squeak so loudly it's embarrassing. One fellow called me once and left a voicemail after my first review, but all he said was, "I hear you are unhappy and thought you might want to discuss it." No offer to fix my car properly; no offer of a refund. I didn't bother calling back. I wasn't interested in any more run around. They are crooks. Avoid them. Now I have to pay AGAIN to get someone else to fix my car properly. I wanted to wait long enough to update my review to be certain about the quality of their work and their lack of ethics. read more

Warning--- Andre owner of Insty Tune and Lube had said that he had a 1969 Corvette motor for sale so I had bought it and paid him to install it in my 1977 Corvette. I had questioned him numerous times over the next few months as I continued to have issues with the motor and its lack of power. The motor did not seen to have the power that a 1969 Corvette motor should have, Andre's only response was to say that I may have to change out the gear in the rear or do this or do that. Then I decided to check the numbers on the block and it turned out to be a motor from a 1979 or 1980 Chevy not even a Corvette. When I brought this to his attention he said "if I wanted to know about the motor I should have checked into it" I texted him back and said that I didn't check into it because I trusted him. Then I got a text that said "This number has been blocked" . I also heard he was going around telling people that I want something for nothing, when all I want is what he had advertised it to be and what I thought I paid for a 1969 corvette motor. This motor would of had 300 plus horsepower not the 195 horsepower that this one has, which isn't much different than the one I had taken out. I paid $2,500.00 for the motor and another $1,000.00+ for them to install it. At this point he isn't going to make it right so the only thing I feel I can do is to let other people know about my experience with Andre at Insty Tune and Lube. Tim read more

by far the best mechanics around! honest fair and talented mechanics! highly recommend this shop!

Insty Tune and Lube makes taking care of cars so much easier. They are quick and efficient but most important they are trustworthy! Very rare in the car industry.

Great service! I could not be any happier with how they treated me and my car. They put new brakes in last week, yesterday I heard a funny noise while stopping, I called them. The owner quickly called me back and told me to come in. Ended up being nothing, but he was happy to respond so quickly. I appreciate the time and effort they put in. read more
