My son recently moved to the area and hadn't established a mechanic yet, so when he unexpectedly had an issue with his car, we weren't sure where to take it. We were incredibly fortunate to find this shop. They got his car in right away, quickly diagnosed the problem as a sensor cable, and had it fixed for an extremely reasonable price. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely honest. It's so refreshing to find a business that isn't looking to take advantage of someone who simply needs their car fixed. It's great to know that this kind of honesty and integrity still exists in the service industry. They have absolutely earned our trust and our future business. I highly recommend them! read more

Highly recommend - pricing is phenomenal service is reliable, plus it's family owned. The owners were very competent and kind, and even gave me a small additional service free of charge. Will be taking my car here from now on and recommending to my friends. read more

What can I say! Michelle's Ultimate Car Care is amazing! We just moved here on military orders and my 4 Runner had some weird noises going on. Brought it here and Sam took listened and took a look and said make an appointment they'll check more into it. Dropped it off and by days in on my appointment day Sam called and told me what it was. Moving forward my 4Runner was fixed that day and I picked it up. I was thinking oh my this is going to be extremely expensive, but to my surprise it wasn't . I am so grateful to Michelle's Ultimate Car Care and I appreciate each of them working here! If you have an issue with your vehicle this is the place to come! I will continue to bring our vehicles here. Just amazing and professional. read more

I've been coming here for the last year for the odds and ends of my 2016 740i BMW. After getting robbed by the BMW dealership for years this place is so affordable and staff definitely go the extra mile to help fix your issues even if they have to reach out to dealerships and find recalls. I would definitely recommend if you want quick, fast , and reliable service read more

Very reasonable prices and good work. I called around town and was ready to get screwed over until I gave Michelle's a call. They gave me a fair price and were quick to replace my tie-rod ends, control arms, hubs, steering knuckles, axle, and do an alignment. I was getting quotes for twice as much at other shops. It's important to support shops like this. Trustworthy mechanics are very hard to come by these days. Give these guys a call. read more

Great spot. Honest prices and quick turnaround on cars. 5 stars all around. I would highly recommend.

Those guys are great! I went to FIVE DIFFERENT SHOPS before they finally figured out what was wrong with my car!! So you bet they made me a customer for life! They also care about their customers and understand that people don't have extra money to spend on things their car does not need! These guys are quick and will only repair what needs fixing! They might provide a few suggestions at what might need replaced down the line, but they never pressure you to get anything fixed that day! They're super quick and affordable as well! Also they're very nice people there! Highly recommend! read more

My truck's starter suffered water damage during Hurricane Helene, and Michelle's Ultimate Car Care was swamped with vehicles needing repairs. I worked with Sam, who was incredibly kind, honest, and easy to work with. Their prices are fair, and the quality of their work is excellent. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in the Northeast area of St. Petersburg, I highly recommend them! read more

Sam's good, honest and will take care of your car the right way. Been going here for 16 years.

Honest, great and super helpful automotive shop. Highly recommend!!! Thank you to whoever help me with me engine light situation it was very appreciated read more

Took my 2002 S430 to have the rear leveler adjusted to correct the ride height in the rear of vehicle. When I picked it up, ride height was the exact same. Cost me $105 for absolutely nothing. Very dissatisfied. Was told flat out that the ride height was increased by office manager, when clearly it did not change. read more

I have been taking my vehicle to Michelle's for regular maintenance and repairs for several years now. They are quick, affordable and very helpful. I really appreciate how they point out things that will need to be done in the near future in order to ensure my car continues to run well. They print out a list with pricing for each item and let me know which items are priority. This allows me to schedule the work at my convenience. They never push or pressure me into doing more than what is needed. I've recommended Michelle's to several people and they are now customers for life. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

I had a great experience! The tech who worked on my car was honest and knowledgeable and took the time to explain exactly what was going on and provided a cost-effective solution. My car was making an intermittent vibrating noise. I'd taken it to the dealsership and they told me it was caused by rusted heat shields and quoted over 2k for replacing both shields and all the hardware and parts. I took it to Michelle's and the tech simply made some small adjustments to tighten the bolts, add a new bolt and add a clamp, and the noise is almost entirely resolved. He even showed me the exact parts that were causing the noise and explained everything. He said it isn't a safety issue and the shields don't actually need to be replaced. With his knowledge and honesty he saved me thousands of dollars! I'll certainly be back any time my car needs repairs. read more

Michelle's Ultimate Car Care - A new bolt was added in this part - Auto Repair Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

See all

Michelle's Ultimate Car Care is the best auto shop I have been to. They are so nice and patient with me, always willing to explain in detail what is going on with my car. I've been there for three different issues, and they executed a quick turn around each time (even when I didn't have an appointment). Finally, they are very honest and competitive with their pricing. I highly recommend. read more

I called on a Tuesday to schedule an appointment and I made one for Thursday morning of the same week. I had heard some rattling under my car and I wanted to get it checked out. I arrived at Michelle's for my appointment, and to be honest, I was a little steered away. The place looks a little dumpy (but cmon it's a mechanic haha). I went in the office/waiting room and there was a man behind the counter. He took my keys and got to work while I waited in the waiting room. He pretty quickly came back with an estimate for a repair he suggested. I was a little nervous about getting upcharged because I'm a younger gal and my boyfriend was at work, but they gave me a very reasonable deal for what I needed done. The mechanic was overly friendly or talkative, but answered all of my questions. I was there for almost two hours before I headed out. I will definitely return if I need any other maintenance! read more

Michelle's is the mechanic friend you wish you had... very friendly and understanding... even when being call every hour with amateur questions. Rates are significantly lower than chains (must be possible with a lower overhead), and the repairs are on par if not better than what you would get at a "reliable chain". Have taken one car that busted a serpentine belt, and another with a blown radiator... both came back with better pricing, and great repairs that have lasted enough time to feel confident in bringing my cars back for future repairs. read more

Squeezed my car in although they had a full lot. Needed work done right before a cross country road trip. They gave me estimates that were half the price as Midas. Got from FL to CA with no issues afterwards. And quick turnaround. Highly recommend for st Pete locals. I also recommend just being kind, I feel like that went a long way although the Midas guys could care less. read more

My car needed a brake job. I stopped by in the afternoon and Steve stayed late to ensure that I would have time to pick it up after they finished. The price was extremely reasonable and Steve was incredibly honest. Best experience I've ever had at a mechanic. read more

ATTENTION: If you need anything repair wise done to your vehicle, this place should be your first stop! Steve, Sam and Zig are great knowledgeable and honest guys that will shoot you straight. I've had problem after problem on my Expedition and Ram and they helped guide me through what was necessary and what wasn't. Don't waste your time at other mainstream places, come to where the old mom n pop service station feel is and get treated ri read more

I'll be coming to Michelle's for all my car needs from now on. I came here for a second opinion and I'm so relieved I did! When I arrived it was obvious they get a lot of business, Sam took care of me very efficiently and quoted me a price that I could afford. He then continued to fix the issue right on the spot. They are affordable, honest, and quick. I can't stress the honest part enough. Thanks Sam! read more

First time coming here. AC was having issues. Steve figures out the issue quickly, had the part ordered and the job done in 3 hours, and with an lower price than I was even quoted. Honest people and great work, will definitely be coming back for any of my auto repair needs! read more

Owner was extremely rude and disrespectful. Will never return or let anyone I know do business there.

Absolutely fantastic. Car has a minor issue and they did it at no charge where other places would charge for diagnostic and who knows what else. If you need work take it there. They will treat you right. Fair & Honest read more

Recently I noted my car's brakes were becoming less responsive than normal. I brought it to a big name auto shop, and they gave me a $3,000 estimate for the repairs I supposedly needed. I brought it to Michelle's for a second opinion and am so thankful I did. Not only did they walk me through the repairs they thought were necessary, explained why the previous shop's 'diagnosis' was incorrect, and fixed the problem within a number of hours for $250. They are extremely down to earth and honest mechanics. Will definitely be bringing my car here for any further repairs in the future. read more
