Auto Pro

Had to have my brakes replaced recently and was quoted a price by Wesley Chapel Honda by a salesperson who was pushy and wouldn’t give me the specifics of what it would include unless I agreed to have the service done.
When I called for a quote from Auto Pro, they were kind and disclosed everything that was included with the price I was paying. I agreed to get it done, and they got me in the NEXT day! They even went so far as to help me fill out paperwork for an unexpected refund on my brake pads :-)
Kind staff, competitive pricing, great service and help with savings all from one place: Auto Pro

I recently purchased a used commercial van for work. It was riding really rough so I took it in to these mechanics. They found it had a bunch of worn out bushings and worst of all it didn’t have e-​rated tires. I use this truck to make money so having it down would cost me more than just repairs. The manager was able to get my truck in and out in around 2.5 hours. The price was very fair. As an added plus it doesn’t feel like my kidneys are getting punched every time I hit a bump!

When I first arrived in Tampa I went to one of those discount places that specialize in tires (but will work on everything else) for all my car needs. Surprised right? The guy who complains about how much everything costs went to a discount car repair shop. What I quickly realized in these discount stores is that if I went in for a new battery, I’d leave with a new battery, exhaust and engine. Well, never quite that bad, but you get the point. I know nothing about cars and when they suggested I needed to fix something, I fixed it (even if they had just «fixed» it the last time in).
Eventually I came to realize that I was being ripped off. That’s when I sought out recommendations from my friends on a decent mechanic. Auto Pro was suggested by a few different people. I gave it a try.
I have been depending on Ken and company for all my automotive needs ever since. I will be the first to admit that Auto Pro is definitely not the cheapest place to go. They will charge you more than those discount places and possibly more than other independent auto repair shops (I don’t know, never priced them side by side). But what Ken and his crew won’t do is try to sell me something I don’t need. I’ve gone in a few times for an oil change expecting that they would find something else wrong and left only owing that thirty bucks (old habits die hard).
Anytime my wife has been in the market to purchase a used car she has taken it to Auto Pro to get Ken to look over it. He does so, for free, and has saved her from buying at least two cars that were in very bad shape under the hood. They have also shuttled her back and forth to USF, for free, when he is working on her car and she needs to get to work. So yes, Auto Pro does offer some free perks.
Ultimately Auto Pro is not the cheapest. But paying a bit more to have things done right the first time and have piece of mind that I’m not getting ripped off is well worth the extra dollars.

I’ve been there a few times and always thought highly of them, very professional, nice, and great quality service. Today i went to get my battery charged and they tried to tell me i needed a new one, when i asked why it was so expensive ($ 180) they told me they were offended that i thought it was «overpriced» when really it was a good deal. They refused to put the new battery in since i would «clearly be unsatisfied» even though i had waited already and needed to get on with my day and honestly didn’t care about the price anymore, just my time! I ended up going across the street and sears said i ddin’t even need the battery!

I’ve been going to Auto Pro for the past 6 – 7 years. I’ve had two new cars in the past 10 years and after beginning at thye dealer I always wind up back at Auto Pro — and will now just stick with ithem as they’ve proven their salt! They’re honest and courteous. They do what needs to be done –not try to sell you unnecessary work or parts. I’ve always felt the price for the job was reasonable and fair. I wish there was shuttle service, since I don’t have anyone in the area who I can ride to work with, but this is a small business and in this market it’s not a surprise — and a small price to pay for great service and value!
