Absolute BEST mechanic in town!! The owner is very patient, kind and caring. He’s very knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and showed me things about my car that I never knew. I will be bringing my BMW and Fiat here from now own. I’m very very pleased with the service I received. 👌👍😁

My car has over heated a few times and the AC went out. I brought my car in after making an appointment through the phone. They looked took my car and got me a ride home as I didn’t have one. Once they found the problem they got my permission to order the parts and realized they wouldn’t be here that night. I needed the AC fixed and the thermostat needed to be replaced and I had a leak. So they got my car back to me which was important since I worked the weekend. When I returned to get it fixed. They were great with communication from start to finish on this process. Everyone was so nice and efficient as well! Since I work weird long hours that don’t match up with their hours they allowed me to have my mother pick up my car so I could have it the next day for work. My AC now freezes me out which you need in this Florida heat and my car doesn’t over heat, which is an obvious need. I cannot be more happy with their work and customer service! I would recommend any friend or family member to go there.

Used to like this shop. After a recent visit they've definitely raised their labor rates. Also I understand someone being new, but the girl at the front desk called to get my authorization on work and misquoted it by about $500 and it wasn't ready until the day after she said. There was no apology for the glaring mistakes or waste of my time, maybe keep an eye on your clearly new employees until they're competent.

After getting a flat tire yesterday I was quick to find someone today who could help patch and repair my tire, get me back on the road, feeling safe, secure and stable. Affordable Mechanics of America - St. Pete is where I found myself pulling in today, to ask for a quote with my need. With my 8 month baby on my hip, I ran inside to ask if there was any time this week to help me with my request. David, the manager didn’t hesitate to assist me right then and there, same day service! And just a matter of minutes! One of the mechanics patched me up and even notified me that my break pads were in need of getting repaired soon. It wasn’t a pitch, it was an honest verbal communication notifying me that hey, your break pad is thin, this is important and so is the precious cargo you transport. I was able to make an appointment for this need coming up first thing Monday! Staff was kind, polite, friendly, and reliable. I want to recommend this business to anyone looking for a warm welcome, stable work ethic, and speedy assistance with their car needs. Thank you Affordable Mechanics of America - St. Pete! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jay saved the day! My 2009 Honda CRV wouldn’t start … on a Saturday at 10 am. I called AAA and confirmed it wasn’t the battery. Upon a 5 mile radius search of where I could tow it for service on Monday, Affordable Mechanics of America was the ONLY service station open on a Saturday! Not only was my car fixed and ready for pick up by Monday afternoon, but it was an AFFORDABLE fuse fix! I highly recommend the friendly & fast service. Should I have any other issues, I know who to call 😃

Jay was highly recommended from a friend. I have used Affordable Mechanics two times now and had a great experience both times. Fit me in last minute and fair pricing. Best part is Jay is friendly, knowledgeable and good looking which makes the experience that much more enjoyable!

Jay since the moment i met him has given me the best service i’ve ever witnessed from any business car related. Him and Cory are top of their game when it comes to knowledge about vehicles and customer service. I never panic when my truck gives me problems because i know where to go and it’s in good hands.

I went to see Jay while I was in St. Pete, I wanted my car to get a once over before shipping it across the country and he came highly recommended. He advised me what the car needed and what should be done before I sent it and made some recs for future maintenance. He was extremely knowledgeable and very patient, I have zero car knowledge. Not to mention..! The price! So much more affordable than the chains.

Having managed a Cadillac Dealership in Denver, Colorado for 25 years, i was very impressed with Jay and his very professional business operations. Every aspect of his business is excellent. Number one is Trustworthy. Number 2, Highly experienced and capable. His team makes you feel comfortable and at ease. This business would be my first recommendation if you need auto service or repair. I drove from Sarasota to do business here.

I will not take my car to anyone else BUT this place and to jay. If you want mechanics with Integrity, who are honest and will not jank your wallet. I highly recommend coming here. I needed break work done and was quoted several Hundred dollars at a majority of places. Called here they told me flat rate $125 and was able to fit me in within 48hours. Was done within 6 hours and they topped my oil. I am beyond pleased and greatful to find these mechanics. 100/10 recommend.

Best place around St. Petersburg if you’re from out of town , not from Florida & trying to find a great mechanic. Prices are Unbeatable & Jay and his crew will get you in an out within a day and so & is very knowledgeable at his job with any make , model and year of vehicle . From diagnosis to Resolving the issue you will know step by step on what he’s doing and will be very satisfied with the work and never have to go behind him or check his work .

Well, pulled up today because I had an appointment that I made a few weeks ago. Turns out there is a note on the door that it no longer exists and is moving to a new location under a different name/company. Cool

I had a battery issue come up right before the New Year holiday, but they still scheduled me ASAP. Turned out the issue was just a loose battery, which they promptly fixed, free of charge. Many places would still have tried to sell me other services, but these guys just gave me honest help. My husband and I will definitely be back for future auto needs.

This is by far the best mechanic I have ever gone to! I called Jay today to see if I can get my alternator fixed after I saw my battery light come on, they charged me a very fair price and did an electronic diagnostic right in front of me. This made me feel very comfortable and ensured to me that they weren’t trying to sell me something I don’t need. I am typically very skeptical of going to mechanic shops as most of the time they try to take advantage of their younger customers. Last time I got my oil changed they told me I had a nail in my tire and they ended up patching it for me as well. No sleazy mechanics, very trusted people, that go above and beyond for their customers! They have earned a recurring customer. Thanks Jay for such amazing service and taking care of your customers! Highly recommend!

Eileen and Jay were incredible! I was met with very accommodating hospitality and I couldn’t believe how quickly they worked. The price was super fair and I will definitely be going back to them. Can’t recommend this place enough!

My husband and I have lived in Historic Kenwood for a little more than 25 years. This is the first time we've used your services. Even though you come highly recommended! We were impressed and MORE than satisfied with the service, quality, and cost involved! Upon calling this business, we were answered by someone that was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We described the issue with the vehicle. They were able to get us in the next morning They executed the work for a fraction of the cost at the dealership. Very impressive how this local mechanic is on the up-and-up with technology! I got a text right after I drop my car off. Said it was scheduled for service... I received another text when they were going to begin work. Then I received a telephone call personally from the mechanic working on my car to just go over some Minor Details before he started working. I also received a phone call and a text when the car was complete and ready to be picked up. Mind you this all happened between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.! Kudos to you guys and I will be sharing my experience. Darren M. Steve M. / Historic Kenwood
