I have been in Tampa for 30 years, and I came here from the East Pasco area. Having a business up…read morethere for decades, I knew all the people to go to for good service when I needed it, whether it was a doctor, a mechanic, a painter...I knew where to go. Until I retied, I had all my auto work done up there, so when I ended my commute, I knew I needed to find good, reliable people to do business with here. Checking the various websites out there, I came uI had some apparent problems with my Kia Sorento, and not being super sharp on engines these days with all the electronics involved, the check engine light came on and sometimes would go out. Other times, it would stay on for days. I did a bit of reading on the internet, and it did say that you could possibly have that occur because of the gas cap not being property tightened. The instructions in the manual tell you to screw the cap tight until it clicks once. Well, this cap quit clicking a long time ago, but the light being on would not happen all the time. I was surfing the internet one day and came across a diagnostic device called FIXD, only $19.95. so I bought one to see what is said. Once plugged in, I ran the app on my cell and it gave me two diagnostic codes, of which was red flagged with a warning to drive as little as possible until corrected. Very concerned, I took my car here this morning because of the reviews I read, and I can tell you with authority, I spent 30 years in the insurance business dealing with customers getting cars, home appliances, and electronics repaired. My insureds would depend on me to direct them where to go for repairs because it's a field ripe for dishonesty where people charge for unnecessary repairs and do so because the public doesn't know any better. But agents hear about what are the good apples as well as the suspected bad ones. Sometimes the bad ones are super obvious. I can say with authority, HONESTY IS SPOKEN here. They have a customer in me for life. It appears the owner is a hands-on guy and does or supervises the repairs himself. He got similar readings that I did, but his knowledge and experience told him that the readings were erroneous and were caused by the ill-fitting gas cap. What was next? He advised me to get a factory original gas cap to assure a correct fit, something that could be hit or miss with an after market cap. How much for sharing that knowledge with me? "No charge, sir. Just tell folks about me." I could not be more thankful that I'm not digging into my meager retirement savings to solve this, something I likely would have had happen going to another garage. If you need your car reliably, honestly repaired by a company with integrity, this is your destination. Thank you so much, Carrollwood Auto Repair!

You may…read morehave a great experience the first time you go and even the second time but sometimes on the 3rd or 4th visit, the great service you originally had goes downhill--that is not the case with this shop. I've been here several times for various things from an oil change to installing new motor mounts and each time I come in, the service is just as good as the first time I was here. I'm not from Florida, we moved down here from NYC so I had not owned a car in well over a decade. I bought a used one and then brought it in to Honest-1 Auto for an inspection to see if there was anything major wrong with it. The first person I dealt with was Willie Vazquez, the General Manager. I spoke to him over the phone, he got me in right away. I should've brought the car in before I purchased it, luckily there wasn't anything majorly wrong with it but I didn't know that. If Willie were dishonest, he could've said there was something wrong with it and I probably would've gone ahead and paid to have it 'fixed' because I would not have known any better. I appreciate his honesty. I also met George Maajoun the Service Advisor. He's straightforward with prices and cost of labor etc. I've never gotten blindsided by a last minute extra charge or "added fees". My repairs always cost exactly what George tells me they will cost. I appreciate that. It's hard to budget for car repairs when the shop you're dealing with keeps upping the cost, that won't happen to you here. This shop is the most honest one I've ever been to! An honest auto repair shop is like a 'Rare White Elk', they exist but the chances of ever encountering one are slim. Happy to report you have a 'Rare White Elk' here in Carrollwood! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

John and Scott (shop owner) didn't treat our situation like a routine car stoping in for work, he took a personal interest and made our problem his own. That kind of service where you are valued and what you care about is considered more than the $$$$ dollar signs is rare, and his team follows suit. They move with precision and pride, a well‑oiled operation that delivers results. This wasn't just a repair; it was a rescue mission. The car wasn't only made safe -- it was made better. Clear communication, no surprises, and work done the right way. If you're looking for a shop you can trust, this is where you go!
