Tampa Auto Repair

I have taken my car here for years, but recently I found out they are under new ownership. I took my car in for an oil change and have never had an issue before. After my oil change was done I noticed a burning oil smell that lasted for more than a week. I took my car back and told them ever since the oil change I smell burning oil and never had notice anything like that before. I thought it was just burning excess oil. They looked at my car visually and said oh my gaskets might be going bad but I should be ok for a while. I left relieved, however the smell of oil continued, my friend suggested to take my car for another opinion, only to find out the oil pan bolt was not tight enough and was leaking oil all over!!! I was not to happy about this. In addition this place takes good year accounts but they don't take good year coupons.

Review: My car started overheating on the way to work. I had just moved to the south Tampa area and my previous, trustworthy mechanic in Brandon didn't have a recommendation for a place in the area. I took to Google and the reviews pointed to Brazzeals. I was pretty worried because I had recently replaced the radiator and hoses and didn't want to have someone tell me that it all had to be done again. I was pleasantly surprised, after a review of the cooling system they were able to determine it was just a faulty radiator cap. They could have easily told me a fabrication for a more expensive part and I may have paid it but because they were honest, they've earned a customer! It also helps very much, that they were courteous and communicated very often and professionally. I would them and will use them again. Thanks guys! Good Work!

Fast quality service with reasonable prices. Usually get work done the same day. If not it will be ready first thing in the morning. Recently needed my splash guard reattached and they did it with no charge at all!

Courteous employees, clean facility, and straight talk regarding the needed services. Worked with me as if my business mattered to them.

Best service & price in Tampa! I have used Brazzeal Tire for new tires & repairs & also referred many friends there over the past 10 years. The owner Chris always goes above & beyond to take great care of his customers & to fit within your budget. I was by myself & had a tire blow out on my way to work one day. Luckily I made to Brazzeal tire. They drove me to work so I didn't have to wait & were able to patch/repair the tire instead of replacing it. This saved me a ton of money instead of just replacing the tire which many shops may have done. They are honest & affordable & keep the customers best interest at heart. A must try for any tire needs!

Friendly and fast service. A+

Called 5 minutes before close for a quote for one tire. The guy on the phone was patient enough to look it up, give me a quote, and order it fit the following day. The next day, got a phone call it arrived and I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Oh and I saved $40 over the dealer price. I'll definitely be returning in the future.

I’m floored by their service, especially for an auto repair shop. I went in for a simple tire patch and they fixed the tire but there was a snafu during the installation. I came back the next day ready to duke it out over the issue but without any trouble and almost before I finished my explanation they stepped up to the plate and squared me away free of charge. Stuff happens sometimes, particularly when you’re working on cars but that Brazzeal’s did the right thing without a moment’s hesitation or complaint from me was very impressive. I’ve not seen that in an auto shop anywhere, Tampa or otherwise.

Always a pleasure taking my cars to these efficient, professional, and highly capable folks!

$3800 for a brake line and sway bar linkage. I understand that if you don't want to do the job bid crazy high and hope they refuse, and I appreciate the concern and liability of making my car safe to protect others. But, what if I had said yes.? It did work great before the brake line popped.
