We are from Ontario, Canada spending our winters in Palm Harbor and a check engine light came on our RAM 3500 Dually, that we haul a 35ft 5th wheel with. Desperate for an honest and well experienced mechanic, I called Tim on a Saturday and left a message (closed for weekend). No sooner did I hang up and Tim texted me to bring it in Monday morning. I got there as soon as they opened and Matt took care of me quickly even though they were busy. A bad DPF sensor was the problem. I was treated well and fairly, the job was completed professionally. I will definitely go to Tim's in the future and highly recomend them. read more

Took truck in for a major oil leak. Paid over $5k, leaking in the same location a week later. Took in again and paid $2-3k more.... A week later he says it's just one of those trucks.... Took to a Ford dealership and $11,000 later it got fixed right.. they said this shop did more damage than when it was initially a problem. Tim won't refund any money and says they did a good job. Wow. read more

One of the finest and most honest repair shops I have ever dealt with! The quality and consistency of the repairs is very rare in this economy. Tim & Reggie deliver the service we all look for. Not the cheapest, but if you want to get it fixed once without going back, this is the place to go. read more

I had misgivings about leaving my truck at a business so clearly disorganized, but this place had good reviews so I dropped it off with the owner's assurance that there would be no charge for an estimate. I figured it wouldn't be a problem since I told him exactly what it needed having already gotten an estimate elsewhere. Almost two weeks later I called for an update. No news as they hadn't even looked at it! After several more days, frustrated, I went to just pick it up. Coincidentally, they had an estimate for me then. Unfortunately they wanted more than twice what the other shop quoted for the same repair and also identified several other "problems" they thought I should pay them to fix. Since I declined their overpriced service, the owner then decided to charge me a "diagnosis" fee of $164. Not feeling like arguing, I paid the fee and left. I understand a shop needs to charge a "diagnostic" fee when warranted, but this was clearly not the case here and counter to what the owner stated initially. Besides, at their prices and markups, this "diagnosis" time is already well compensated for. I paid a high price to learn that I should have gone elsewhere. If you have deep pockets and don't care about being charged substantially more than other places, Tim's may be a good fit for you. read more

Tim did a complete engine swap in my son's 2004 Jeep Wrangler LJ. After spending thousands at Jeep chasing gremlins I decided to swap in a 4.6 stroker. Had the motor delivered to Tim and told him everything else we wanted done... he did not disappoint! Timely install, great communication and was a pleasure just talking with him. One of the last remaining, small shop, honest mechanics around! read more

New to the Tarpon area and the reviews don't lie about this garage. I didn't need much...just needed my new ball joints pressed into my F250's steering knuckle and U-joint replaced because I didn't have a table vise at home to complete that job. Most places (ahem...the dealership nearby) are too busy or you need to make an appointment for a simple 20-30 min job like this. Tim fit me right in. When the quick job was done, the typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm rolled in. They kindl walked me to my car with an umbrella! Joe, thanks for doing the work. Great people and military friendly. Support small business! If I ever have a job that is beyond my mechanical abilities, my rides will go here. read more

Air conditioning problem. Tim' technician diagnosed a leak in the condenser. Diagnostic fee $140. Told repair was $1600+. This included $500 for expensive refrigerant like freon. Next day took car to Ferman. They spent hours going over AC. No leak found. $100 charge for refrigerant to top off. All told $280 including refrigerant labor and parts. I waited almost 2 months and AC is fine no signs of a leak. Unclear why the refrigerant was low without a leak. but Ferman commented that the caps on the fill ports were missing. It's possible this refrigerant was misappropriated at a RI shop prior to traveling to Florida. I decided not to persue a refund of the diagnostic fee $140 but want to point out the dealer charged $100 and Tims said it would be $500 for refrigerant. When it is diagnosed the quantity of freon is measured so the amount to top off is known read more
