Once again, provided service with excellence! Very expedient in trouble shooting and got my alternator replaced promptly at a most reasonable price. I am so grateful for this family owned auto shop. They take pride in servicing our SPB community with honesty and integrity. Michelle was excellent at educating me and pointing out concerns but gave me an idea of prioritizing the work needed for scheduling maintenance. read more

A step back in time with a reliable small town automotive repair shop that you can trust. I took my 2019 Honda Pilot in for general maintenance. Michelle not only told me what I needed but more importantly what I did "not" need; something not seen in large corporate dealership service centers were you are charged for maintenance whether it is needed or not. I was given a schedule for future maintenance so I could be prepared: No surprises, complete transparency. Michelle clearly knew the automotive repair business. She was professional yet very personal, with a genuine concern for the customer. I would highly recommend Terry's Automotive for anyone looking for a reliable repair garage at a very reasonable price. read more

If I could give more stars I would! This is the best place if you want the family-owned treatment and honesty! Alex is the best and is always very upfront about pricing, quality, and what you ACTUALLY need (not just what is "due"). You get greeted by the family pups and leave knowing you got the best value and work done on your car. I live in Tampa and I make the drive over because I won't trust anyone else! read more

Alex was great when I needed a new alternator. He recommended I get a new battery as well, which I didn't do in time, and blew the new alternator. Alex was understanding and helped me get a second alternator for no charge due to the warranty. Great family-owned business! read more

Glad I found a trustworthy,reliable,reasonable and honest mechanic have been going to these guys for almost 5 years now since I moved to st Pete! They are the best. read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop! I'm so grateful to have found them 5 years ago, they are like family now and I recommend them to everyone. Besides the fact that they have the most reasonable prices in Florida, Michelle and Alex give their honest opinion on what needs urgently fixed or what can wait if you're on a budget. Look no further !! read more

WARNING, this place is ridiculous so don't waste your money! I used to go to Nette's who retired so was looking for a new St Pete Beach mechanic. I took them my car and told them I needed oil change, new wiper blades, check the AC for suspected leak, check front suspension for squeak. What a run-around. For $68 they ran diagnostics but didn't know how to read them or what the codes meant. They agreed that the ball joints needed replacement so I asked them to do this and they said they couldn't as they didn't have the staff to do it. They put the die in the AC to locate the leak (as an after thought) which identified the leak but when I asked them to replace the hose (which turned out to be seals) they said they didn't do that because they didn't have the staff. The Mother and Son like to talk and talk and talk.... but they are guessing at the diagnostics so you don't know what to believe. And the wiperbaldes....I know what I want but was told that I didn't need new wiper blades. Are they in the business to make up a diagnosis and not know how to fix anything. I feel completely ripped off by them and basically paid $203.13 for an oil change. The place is filthy and my choice of seats when waiting was a dirty dog hair covered chair or sit outside on a cement planer next to a collection of abandoned used latex gloves and a banana peel. There's a collection of sweet dogs in the office who desperately need to have their nails trimmed and it took a wipe down and spray to get the smell of old dog out of my car. The best thing they did for me was refer me to Charlie's Transmission. read more

I am from out of town and based upon reviews selected Terry,s, it turned out to be a wise decision. They got me in on short notice, I found them to be extremely knowledgeable, honest and practical in their approach to diagnosing the issue and repair. Highly recommend. read more

Hands down best mechanic shop in Saint Petersburg! If you want honest people that won't rip you off, Terry's automotive is the place to go! Highly recommend to anyone looking to get there car serviced! read more

My wife and I have been taking our cars to Terry's Automotive now for about a year. They are really knowledgeable about automobiles, how to fix them, and provide a thorough explanation of what was wrong, and what they did to correct the issue(s). We are very happy with Terry's automotive team! read more

Our truck broke down while on vacation. We found this place and are so glad we did. Michelle and Alex treated us like family. They were out right away and diagnosed the problem. It was a computer issue. They called a dealership nearby and they took us right in with no appointment. Thes people were the best. Honest pleasant and ready to help. I'm so glad we landed at their garage it was a great feeling having to meet such nice people read more

I just moved to the area 1 month ago and the brakes went out in my truck. I'm a contractor so I have to have my truck to make a living. Terry's Automotive was able to get me in the same day I called and had the brakes replaced within 24 hours. Excellent work, amazing value, and great people. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Honest place to get your car fixed. Fair prices and they know what they're doing. Highly recommend.

I'm from maine and went down to st pete beach. My rack and pinion went on the way down. decided this was the place I was taking my car to. I called them on a Thursday and they got me in on a Monday. Awesome service and in a timely manner. They also saved my vacation. I'm so glad that I went here. read more

Have taken our van here several times for service and detailing and have always had excellent service. Very friendly, honest, and down-to-earth people and affordable prices. We have a bad habit of killing the battery and Terry herself pulled out the load tester and let us know our battery was on the way out but not shot yet. Free diagnosis and jump. When we finally killed it completely a few months later you bet we came back and bought the battery she recommended - cheaper than the few other places I checked and we haven't been able to hurt it yet. Another time my wife was panicked because she was driving her bosses car and started smelling something burning. Thinking the car was overheating or a belt slipping she brought it straight to Terry's. Terry again came out and immediately knew what was wrong. She walked to the tail pipe and pulled off a plastic bag that had stuck there. Again, no charge, thanks for stopping by, come back when you really need something! They aren't big on looks or cleanliness, but if you can overlook the cluttered service bay and don't mind dogs in residence, give them a chance and they'll treat you right. read more

My friend and I were in the area from Virginia on our last day in St. Pete when my check engine light came on. We took it in and they let me know exactly what was wrong with it. Michele and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly (and dog friendly!) and helpful. She even called me the next day to make sure it was still running ok. Best car service I've ever had! Thanks! read more

Found Terry's Auto from google search and was not disappointed. We are from Missouri so you never know what could happen when you go to some place out of town. Very nice people got us in same day. They ended up not even being able to do the work as they don't do tires. Didn't charge us to look at it or anything. They sent us to another shop that quoted us half what the first place we went to was. Very happy we went to Terry's saved us a bunch of headache. read more

I can't recommend Terry's Automotive highly enough. We drove to St. Pete's from Tennessee and started hearing a strange noise coming from the car. We still have quite a way to travel and were nervous--I called Terry's in the morning and Michelle told me to come by in the afternoon and she would take a look. When I arrived, we took the car for a spin to hear the noise, then when we got back to the shop she popped the hood and checked it out. Thankfully--everything looked good. She and her staff took great care of me, put my mind at ease and gave advice about what to do when we get back home. A brake light went out and they quickly and so kindly changed that for me while I was there as well. They were friendly, incredibly kind and affordable. If I ever have car concerns in St. Pete again, I'll absolutely be coming back to Terry's Automotive. Thank you all so, so much!! read more

A excellent Mom and Pop shop. Honest people. Great service. We had car trouble on vacation and Michelle gave us rides between the resort and the shop, gave us a very fair price before preforming the work, and made us aware of other wear on the vehicle that will need attention in the future but was not urgent without pushing us to fix it right then. Great experience. read more

THEY SAVED MY VACATION! - I can't say enough good things about my experience with Terry's, they did a great job on short notice for a great price. I drove to St Pete's Beach from Minnesota for a vacation. The day we arrived the breaks on my van started making a terrible grinding noise. I called Terry's and explained the problem and that I had to drive 1,600 miles back to Minnesota in 5 days. They got me in the same day and had it done at 1:00 the next day for about half of what I thought it would cost. If you need your car fixed and you're in the St Pete's Beach area give them a call. read more
