Beware, do NOT under any circumstance bring a Mini Cooper(or other vehicles) to this shop. After $3k in repairs, less than a week later my engine nearly caught fire by reaching almost 300 degrees because of negligent work. This could have caused me serious harm. I had to have my vehicle towed, I now have no vehicle whatsoever, and am forced to endure even more financial strain in an attempt to purchase a new car. Not to mention, they quoted me $600 for parts that I found for $160 online no problem. Such a scam and now I’m completely screwed. I regret choosing this shop immensely, and should have listened to the reviews warning about obscene pricing.

I told them I thought my car needed wheel bearings. They drove the car and said yes your correct. They changed both front wheel bearings and the problem wasn't fixed. The front desk person said I need new tires and that's the cause for the sound and vibration while driving. My tires are less than 2 years old and in excellent condition. Do not go to this place! They just want to make money. Look at their parking lot. They have over 10 vehicles with no plates. It's sketchy and not a business that I would recommend to anyone. After posting a review I received a phone call and a partial refund which I greatly appreciated. That act of kindness prompted me to change my rating from 1 star to 4 stars.

Highly recommend! I went to a mechanic and they estimated me for around $400, I don't even think they listened to me when I told them my problem. Went to Guy's and Danny knew what the other mechanic shop said I needed fixed wouldn't cause the problems I had. All together the diagnosis, parts, and labor cost around $200 so I saved money and got my problem fixed. My car is running great, lifetime customer now. Call and Danny will take great care of you!

I've been there twice. The first time was because my steering pressure dropped. They pretty much knew instantly that I was just low on steering fluid and filled it up for free. Literally didn't charge me for anything. Months later and that's still working great. Second time, my brake pressure dropped rapidly. They found the leak in about 10 seconds and fixed both sides. Both times were a great experience. Honest, quick, and straightforward.

This shop is wonderful, I’ve taken my car here 3 times for separate occasions and they got my car done in a timely manner. Tim has been very helpful and communicative!! I completely enjoyed this shop. I’ll keep bringing my cars here tbh

They told me I needed a new transmission on my 2018 Toyota with less than 70,000 miles. Thought this was weird especially since my car had no signs of transmission issues. Got a second opinion and it was just the breaks grinding and a loose bearing, which is what I initially suggested. Almost got scammed $7,000. Especially frustrating bc the mechanic was saying how “sorry he was” that this happened.

This shop put an reman engine in my car. Seem to run good but 6 months down the line my alternator lines and alternator shorted out and caught fire from them NOT putting the wires out of the way from the exhaust. 4 months later and thousands of dollars later from chasing my tail im on the side of the road broken down after it being revealed to me that ALL of the wiring in my engine from whoever did my engine job was touching and hanging on the exhaust. This is PURE NEGLIGENCE at its finest and could’ve cost me my life from wngine catching fired, could’ve costed me a brand new engine going bad, costed me my coils on back side of engine to go bad and hundreds of dollars to fix what you should have done right the first time. I will never bring my car here again

Great experience! I took my f150 to Ford and they wanted to replace my engine for 14k. Guy fixed me in one day for 2k! Definitely will use them again!

Hands down I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality service!!!!Guys automotive saved me from a horrible situation and I’m incredibly grateful for the work these guys put into helping fix my Jeep. From the beginning.. I ran into a situation where my car would not start and I had no idea why. I googled the closest shop from where I live and I stumbled across a place called Clark’s automotive.. had my car towed there only to be told nothing simple could be fixed on my car ( upon getting the car towed I had suspected my battery was dead or I needed a new starter) Clark’s automotive said no no the car has engine failure and could not be fixed.They recommend I start calling around to junk yards to find someone who would buy the car because it would cost more to fix my 2019 jeep than it’s worth. The situation had me stressed the hell out because I wasn’t given a reason why this could happen or how it could be fixed. Fast forward to the next day.. I called around to a few mechanic shops and one in Tampa suggested I try Guys automotive because they are the only people in town who know how to fix newer cars, especially my make and model. I called Guys automotive and that’s when I spoke to TIM. I told Tim what was going on and asked him if he could take a look at the car for a second opinion. I asked him to be honest and please let me know if he thought my Jeep was fixable. Tim’s exact words were “everything is fixable” let me take a look and let you know what we need to do. When I tell you, his professionalism, follow up and general honesty gave me sooo much relief. When he called me back with a diagnosis he broke down the specifics of what was wrong with my car, he told me what needed to be done, what the cost would be. You could tell he is a experienced mechanic and his motive is not to bullshit people. He made me feel like I could trust him just by simple conversation. I have never met this man but just by talking to him I felt like I was in good hands! The next call I received the next day I was told my car was up and running and guess what.. my engine did not fail! Yes I had some damage and needed new parts that included a new starter, battery and spark plugs but the fact of the matter is they took care of business. Moving forward I will always trust guys automotive- in particular TIM because he made my experience at this shop exceptional and although I live all the way in Riverview I will tow/ drive my car to Guys automotive for service because they are the best! I am just so grateful for what they did to help me!

My headlights were not working at all. Other garages said they could not fix them. Guy’s was able to find the source of the issue and get them fixed. They were quick to repair my car. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable!

Terrible experience. This shop is completely unprofessional and careless. I brought my car in with a simple issue, and not only did they fail to fix it, they actually made the problem worse. Instead of taking responsibility, the staff brushed me off and acted like it was no big deal. If you value your time, money, or your vehicle, stay far away from this place.

I usually don't write reviews, but after the experience I had at Guys Automotive, I felt compelled to share just how impressed I was. I brought my car in for multiple issues — it needed a full tune-up, front and rear bumper repairs, new tires, and the A/C had completely stopped working. Honestly, I was expecting a long, stressful process, but the team at Guys Automotive made everything so smooth and straightforward. From the moment I dropped off my car, they were incredibly professional and attentive. They took the time to go over everything with me, explained what needed to be done, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. I really appreciated how transparent they were — no upselling, no surprises, just honest work and great communication. What really stood out to me was how they kept me informed every step of the way. They called me regularly with updates on the progress, and if they found anything unexpected, they explained the situation clearly and asked for my go-ahead before moving forward. That kind of customer service is rare these days, and it made me feel completely at ease. The quality of the work was top-notch. My car runs like new after the tune-up, the A/C is blowing ice-cold again (perfect for this Florida heat), and the new tires have completely changed the feel of the ride — smooth, safe, and quiet. On top of that, the front and rear bumper repairs were flawless. You can’t even tell there was ever any damage; they matched the paint perfectly, and everything lines up just like factory specs. They finished all the work faster than I expected, and when I picked up the car, it was clean and ready to go. The attention to detail really blew me away. If you're looking for an honest, skilled, and customer-focused auto repair shop, look no further than Guys Automotive. They went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This is the only place I’ll be taking my car from now on. Thanks again to the entire team!

Tim was amazing! My computer system got fried and they fixed it and also found and fixed the leak in my trunk that had caused the issue. Tim was great at explaining the issue and also explaining what they had done when I picked my car up. The price was a lot less than I expected to pay. My gear panel has never lit up at night so I always had to look at my dashboard to see if I was in drive or reverse, but when I drove my car at night for the first time after getting my car back, the gear panel lit up. They do excellent work. I would definitely bring my car here again.
