Carmine’s Auto Repair

I have been searching for a good auto mechanic and while driving home one day On Belcher Rd I saw a sign for Carmines Auto Repair. I called and spoke to Bob who was so warm and friendly. I took my car in because my check engine light was on. He diagnosed my car and let me know what was wrong. I needed a new thermostat. I made an appointment and had my car repaired. Well I have to say that EVERYTHING in my car is working better. I don’t know what the mechanic did but my car is running great all the way around. Little things that were not running correctly are now perfect! A big shout out to Carmines Auto repair! Very friendly atmosphere and prompt service. I highly recommend.

The Best!!! Another auto repair place really did a terrible job on my car and almost ruined it. I brought this over to Carmine’s because I’ve heard nothing but good reports about it. I’m so glad I did. Joe the mechanic did a fantastic job ! He pinpointed the problem right away. Their prices are fair and they are Honest! Bob and Marlene are very nice and very hard working, and want to make sure you’re happy. I will go back for all my automotive needs.

After searching the St. Pete area for 10 years, I finally found an auto repair company that I trust. Carmine’s is a family owned and operated repair shops where they truly live up to their slogan: I treat every car like it’s mine!
The shop itself is spotless. Their head mechanic is knowledgeable. The service is quick, yet thorough. When you go in for an oil change, you will get a full 19 point inspection. This is not so they can up charge you. In fact, I have never received any pressure for the up sell (and I have a 14 year old truck that certainly needs work).
Next time you stop in, spend some time in the lobby talking to Bob and Marlene. They are a great couple who truly care about taking care of you. I actually look forward to my oil changes now! If you are looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy mechanic, no need to look anywhere else!

Boy, I let my brakes go way too long. But still I got a great price for new front and rear brakes and rotors and an oil change. It takes an hour or so to get here but it’s worth it!!! Joe and Bob do great work!!! I’ll be back!

New tires and battery before heading back to Dallas. Thought that the brakes or rotors needed replaced but come to find out all is good. Honest diagnostic on break system.

Warning light came on in my car. Oops, haven’t gotten the oil changed since??? The last oil-​r-​us big company/​franchise shop I went to forgot to put a reminder sticker on the windshield. If you are like me, this little sticker is something I rely on. Oil changes are not on the top of this working Mom’s «what do I need to do» list. So I Unilocaled for the closest oil change place and Carmines Auto Repair was very close. It was a bit hard to find because it’s not a storefront, but I did see the sign with an arrow pointing to the side of the building. My son and I pulled in and entered the office and we’re greeted by 2 very friendly men. I told them what we needed and they immediately got to work on my car. I noticed that the mechanic checked the tires and rotated them which was a great bonus. I have always been a believer in the smaller «mom and pop» places because it’s more personal. Carmine’s certainly didn’t disappoint. Friendly owner, caring mechanic, and great work fast! I highly recommend this place. Thanks guys for saving this mom in «warning light distress». I will be back :)
