Okay, so it's been 2 weeks now, my car is running like it did when it was new! Before writing the review, I wanted to wait a couple of weeks to make certain all things were working without issue. Service was not only super helpful by phone, Joe got me in the next day. I drove from North Tampa area, its a long way w/ rotors that were sticking & brakes that were working, but not efficiently. He quickly ordered parts, sent back what he didn't use, handled things as they came & made sure I was getting the best professional information, while saving me time & money. It's convenient to have Armature Works so close. I got to work for a bit & have some coffee while I waited. It took him a couple of hours & I was literally out of there! I am still so pleased w/ the entirety of the service. I appreciate you!

Joe and Bob are THE BEST! They are hard-working, honest, genuine guys who shoot straight and give you a very fair price. Never overcharged me. I've brought 2 of my cars here so far and I lean heavy on their expertise and advice. I recommend this place highly!

I was referred to Joe at Auto-Air Brake. I went by and met Joe and Bob did a diagnosis of my car's ac system. I needed a compressor , dryer and other parts. Joe gave me a great price but more importantly after talking with him I knew Joe and Bob are very skilled, knowledgeable and experienced mechanics and would do a great job. I set an appointment. I called the day before my appointment to confirm with them that I would be there and Joe told me my parts were already at his shop. I also had my drivers side low & high beam headlight out, my right blinker and my right fog lamp out and asked if they could replace the bulbs if I got the bulbs....sure no problem we can do it. To replace the bulbs in my car is no easy task a lot of parts removal to get to the bulbs to remove and then replace bulbs and re-assemble parts. I come to pick up my car and ask how much I owe and Joe is only charging me for ac system and I say what about the charge for replacing the bulbs and he refused to charge me and I even offered Bob some money for a good lunch he refused to take it. They both said if your happy bring you car back for any service or repairs needed in future and tell my friends about them. I'm very happy and will refer my friends for sure. I highly recommend Joe & Bob.

Owner/Mechanic Joe is in my opinion and experience an excellent, reliable and honest mechanic. I usually never feel completely comfortable about work or price when I have work done on my vehicles, but Joe was the exception!

Joe is incredibly friendly and has the best prices for every repair job. He's very fast, too. I took my vehicle in for the brakes (needed back rotors replaced) and it was less than $300! I'll definitely come again when I need anything done with my car.

I highly recommend this mechanic shop! They did the brakes on my two Priuses, and both are running great. They are always available on time and ready to help. Today, I took my other Prius in because I was hearing noise from the tires, and they did excellent work. If you need a reliable mechanic, look no further. This shop is the best!

This is by far the best auto service shop I have ever been to. And I'm not young : ) Joe did a great job at having my car running like a champ. The cost was under his estimated quote. I can not say enough good things about this excellent family owned business!

We were helping our daughter move from Nashville to Tampa. On the drive down to Tampa we noticed every time we used the brakes,especially on hills, the car would shutter. We decided to continue driving to Tampa.We do no know a soul in Tampa so took a chance and took the car to Joe at Auto-Air” brake & muffler. We will forever be thankful for Joe. He fit us in, diagnosed the brakes, showed us exactly what the issue was, called several parts companies until he found the correct part at the best price. He understood we were only in Tampa for the day, so he worked very hard to get it done in one day! Who helps people out like that. Honest, hardworking and I feel as though we made a friend in Tampa. We are so lucky we found his shop! 💖 Thank you Joe!

So awesome and wonderful. They'll tell you exactly what's wrong with your air conditioning. Won't charge you more or beat you out of your money. They look at your AC and tell you honestly what is wrong. I've never been there for brakes but I will in the future. Bless you

Great customer service, kind, friendly and honest. Had my car in and out the same day. Was 1/3 the price Lexus quoted. Will definitely bring my car back here.

I’ve been to Auto Brake Air and Muffler Shop in Tampa, FL a few times now, and I can't recommend them enough! Joe is truly one of a kind—so nice, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the best solution for my car issues. As a young adult without my parents around to help, it can be overwhelming when car problems arise, but Joe made me feel completely at ease. His dedication and patience really stood out. The team is incredibly kind and fun, and their care meant so much to me. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone and everyone looking for trustworthy service!

I had a fantastic experience with Joe and his father! They quickly diagnosed the issue with my A/C, and not only did they fix it, but they also took the time to educate me on how A/C systems work. I really appreciated their willingness to share their knowledge. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in need of their services--you won't be disappointed!

Joe was so friendly and down to earth. The service was fast and he only repaired what was needed at a fraction of what everyone else in the area was charging! Will definitely be going back whenever I have car troubles ◡̈

Had a great experience with Joe at Auto-Air Brake & Muffler Specialists! Joe was super friendly, upfront, and you can tell he is just a hard worker. I had all four brakes and rotors replaced, and everything was done quickly—had my car back by noon. The pricing was very fair, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend Joe and his team if you’re looking for honest, quality work without breaking the bank!

I can’t say enough good things about Joe and his team at Auto Air Brake and Muffler Specialists. Joe has been running this shop for over 34 years, and you can tell he takes pride in his work and really cares about his customers. I brought my daughter’s 2010 VW Beetle convertible in for a freon leak. Joe diagnosed it quickly — turned out to be the AC suction line hose. Nobody in Tampa had the part in stock, but Joe has a guy who makes custom hoses, so he got it replaced and recharged the system with freon. I was in and out for $250, which is incredible — it would’ve been at least 3x that at any shop in South Tampa. This is a great old-school shop: honest, fast, and fairly priced. Highly recommend Joe if you want excellent work without the nonsense.
