A & F Auto Repair deserves a million stars! I went there to have a new headlight assembly installed in my vehicle. Paul did an excellent job with squeezing me in to his busy schedule and gave me a very affordable price when the dealership tried to charge me twice as much for the same service! Ed did an excellent job installing it as well and they even helped me replace my fog light. I am so thankful for both of you for your hard work, determination, convenience, and affordability! I will be coming back for future services! Thank you Paul and Ed! You guys rock!

Just saved over 200 dollars on new tires with them. My aunt was about to buy me tires for over 500, I was like hold up let me call my mechanic. Sure enough A & F auto saves the day/wallet again! This single mom wouldnt know what to do without these guys. I've been going here for years! They have always been much more affordable then other shops. My friends and family have also started using them too. Great guys, great work, great price. I highly recommend!

Good people is the highest compliment I can give A & F. They swapped out the tires on my car and also did an oil change. They matched the price I found on tire rack for some really good 60k mile tires and were about 1/2 the price of the dealership on both counts. I probably saved $200-$300 by coming here over the deanship. Highly recommended and they will be my shop as long as I live in St. Pete!

Honest, efficient and very fair prices. I had my alternator start to go bad. I called in the morning as I work nearby. They quoted me a great price and I dropped it off before work. They then made sure to call to ok the work after diagnosing the problem. 2 hours later the job was done and they dropped the price a little due to it not taking as long as originally thought. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are a little farther from my home than my local mechanic but they have earned my business from now on. Thank you and believe the reviews. This is a fantastic shop.

On recommendation from a friend I got a quote from here to replace an engine in my daughters 08 Ford Escape. The gave a good price and the work was completed when they said it would be. 10 months later the thing still runs good. I brought in my truck leaking power steering fluid. They replaced the line and It hasn’t leaked since. Just picked up my car after they replaced the water pump and everything is working great. Robert and his wife and crew are great to work with. Their prices are fair and they simply do a great job. Ten stars if I could. Thanks Robert!

So I heard what sounded like my brake squealing, naturally I called the dealer and took it there as they just serviced my car recently (They told me all good two weeks ago.) I go back and now they say I have 1 month if that to get the front brakes replaced before the front pads are metal on metal. I naturally get worried and look around for a 2nd opinion. I called A&F and was told the repair if any would take 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours to do. I went in, dropped off my car, and got a call a bit later. I WAS TOLD NO BRAKE JOB WAS NEEDED! MY FRONT BRAKES WERE JUST FINE! The dealer also wanted to charge over $350! Here they quoted me no more than $100 if it was needed to be done. I have found a new place for all my car repairs. TL/DR, The dealer wanted to pull a fast one on me and get me to get new brakes when it was not needed at this time! A&F Auto Repair is honest and fair priced! I will not go back to the dealer for anything else! Thank you to those at A&F Auto Repair, I have found my new home to get anything car done and will be recommending family and friends here.

A and F are good people, period. These are old school mechanics that run circles around modern dealership techs. Theyre as honest as the day is long. This shop is very affordable and they can narrow down to the most exact root causes. They explain issues very well to the customer. Ill continue to give them my business because it's very hard to find a trustworthy mechanic.

500 stars! Paul at A&F Auto Repair is phenomenal. After NAPA RightWay Auto Repair completely botched my engine, Paul saved my car and my hard earned cash. Being new to the area, I took my car to Rightway for an oil leak. They charged me for a water pump (that I didn't need-no overheating or leakage), new belts, a motor mount, etc for $1,600 and I still had an oil leak! The day after, my power steering was squealing and hard to turn the wheel when the engine was cold. Rightway inspected and quoted another $1,400 to replace the power steering pump and the tie rods. I took it to Paul and he said the belts were out of alignment from their repair, it wasn't synchronized correctly and they used the wrong bolts on the water pump housing that was causing the NEW belt to cut into it. He removed their faulty repair and reinstalled my parts and only charged me for the labor. I did NOT need a power steering pump, after all. I love my 17 year old car and now it glides down the highway like it's brand new. Needless to say, I got a refund for Paul's hard work from Rightway. A&F has earned my business for a lifetime. I may never need another car. A giant thank you to Paul and the guys at A&F!

I first took my Jeep to the dealer for a safety recall and to have it looked over for any maintenance issues. They said I had about $5000 worth of repairs(including an oil change which I had one two days before). I called up A&F Auto Repair and the owner answered. He was very nice and said I could bring it in to have it looked over for free. They found $1400 worth of repairs(including labor) and Ken took the time to show/explain what exactly was wrong with my Jeep. I really appreciate having a shop that I can trust.

Whenever I walk into an auto shop I tense up because I expect someone to try to rip me off. I was pleasantly surprised to have Rob sensibly talk me through the issues with my vehicle and even go to bat for me with the towing company. There were actually a couple of customers like myself just hanging out in the shop with Rob while their trucks were being worked on! I highly recommend A & F Auto Repair. I found them to be honest, fair, and friendly.

This is the place to go! Myself and my whole family were blown away by the service received here. Believe the reviews, this is a team of honest, hardworking individuals who truly care about their customers. They really went above and beyond and treated me like a friend. They are affordable, fast, and kind. If I ever need anything else I will be going to A&F Auto Repair!

I just moved down from Boston, and didn’t know anybody in the area yet. I looked up mechanics, and A & F was highly rated, so I gave them a shot. Came in this morning as soon as they opened, with believe it or not, all of my lights out. Not sure what happened, I thought it was a problem with a fuse or something, but they were able to order new lights, and install them in under 2hrs, which was very impressive. All of my lights are back up and running again! The guys were very polite and helpful, hopefully I won’t have any more problems any time soon, but if I do, I’ll be a returning customer.

I have dealt with Rob and Carol at A&F Auto for 2 years now. It's very hard to find honest mechanics around this area, and I'm extremely satisfied with the work they've done on my cars. They are straight forward and will get you in and out quickly. I highly recommend if you're looking for someone in this area ,bring your car here, you won't be disappointed!

Had to take my car in for what I thought was just timing issue, and of course it became the laundry list. Long story short these guys did a fantastic job getting me back on the road and for a great price. They do get a little busy, but the time and pricing are completely worth it!

Don’t go anywhere else!! Honest and hard working. Rob and his team are top notch. 6,000 mile road trip, not one issue! Brought in a used vehicle with what turned out to be a lengthy list of issues. They did everything from my tires and axles to my compressor and injectors. The best part of it all was Rob being honest and upfront. They even brought me in to show me what was left of my front end bearings, as well as other issues as the parts were being pulled off the truck. Bring them anything you drive without hesitation!

I desperately needed my honda to be fixed, so I came to A F auto repair shop because I saw the good reviews. And, the reviews were right about them; they are super friendly, honest, and fair people. I would recommend anyone to come to their shop for any problems. I believe anyone will leave with a smile and reliefs that everything will be taken good care of 8)
