Oil Change in Brandon, FL

“HiTech is my new go for auto repairs. A friend told me about them and I will refer my friends to HiTech. They were accurate, fast and all for a good price.

“A while ago we used to bring our cars to Clarke Automotive for basic upkeep. We were VERY satisfied. Then we both purchased newer cars, and fell into the “dealership knows my car better” mindset. Well, you cannot be more wrong!!! The dealership is not out to help the car owners. They are out to prey on the patronage. They say you “desperately” need one service or another. Then when service is complete, it’s with sub-par products at twice the cost. Yes, I should have already realized this as an adult. Finding an automotive group worth trusting and not feeding you BS is difficult. Clarke is that group! I trust them with honesty and direct communication. I brought my car in to have it looked at. I know service for several things will be due soon. But, like most people, I try to save money where I can as funds are tight. I continue to bring my car to Costco for tire rotations. Why? They are free? What’s wrong with that? Nothing really, but no one strongly trained is looking at the other portions of my car that might need service soon so I can appropriately budget. Took my car to the dealership for oil changes because they offered a “special.” What did I get? Hounding to buy a newer car, sell back my older car. Hounding for additional services (that I didn’t really need!). Informed things were severely broken on my car (to the tune of $5,000) that were not really broken! How did I find out about the last one? After practically having a coronary at the dealership and asking for my “broken” car back, I made a call to Clarke to reinspect it, giving the information the dealership gave. Clarke gave peace of mind. They identified what was deemed “broken” but also said it’s not in need of repair. It’s not the “death” of my car- or pocketbook.
I have severe anxiety about bringing my car into locations as I fear the knee jerk reaction that costs will make my already strained pocketbook disintegrate. Clarke is honest! They will tell you exactly what you need. The costs associated, and honestly tell you if you can safely wait on a service! The staff is friendly, and I do not get those slimy feelings from the staff that they are trying to rip you off. I feel they are just trying to be totally honest.
My husband’s old truck had quite a few issues. Did they have to “chase” the repairs? Yes! You fix one thing, then another pops up. Or, the issue could be “this or that.” They were honest while chasing the issues. Did it get fully fixed? Yes! You know what else they tell you? If your car can be considered a lemon. Guess what? It was and we were compensated under lemon law. If you want to know what cars are generally good- go talk to them! They will tell you the troublemakers from the A listers.
I trust this group implicitly.
The recent service was to have my car evaluated for brakes as I heard squeaking during breaking. I was concerned the cost of brakes (again, practically no money exists in my account). What did I find out? I’m perfectly fine and the dealership placed sub-par pads on my car! Shitty product from the dealership was sending my ears, then anxiety through the roof. But, there is no issue! Yay!
At the same time, they did let me know that I would be due for a few services soon, that could be broken up to several events to have these things addressed. Guess what? I’ll be doing these things as service is cheaper than a new car!
Thank you Clarke Automotive!”

“Replaced Tbelt and tensioner and related parts on my daughter's MDX sport hybrid. Reasonably priced, did the work quickly, and were very knowledgeable.
If you know who the Car Wizard is Brian is the area's local version except he doesn't taste the fluids.
Would recommend.”

“Thank you. Unbelievable. I was helping my older friend repair a flat tire, and we couldn't fix the nail hole with a plug, multiple holes. Took it to Bear Auto on Brandon Blvd by the dairy queen. The manager basically gave me a very nice used tire , mounted it, and balanced it for $54. He knew i was helping out a financially poor neighbor, and he helped out also.
People can be amazing. Very friendly place.”

“Bennetts always does a fantastic job on mine and my wife's car. We've taken our vehicles to them multiple times in the past few years, and have been very happy with the quality and service they've provided.”

“Just went to get my oil topped off. Service was great. I was offered a water and they checked all my fluids. They even checked my tires. Eddie and Trey were fabulous.”

“The best shop I have ever worked with by far! The whole team was extremely helpful. They got us in quickly I was in a pinch and needed work done. They were able to get me in same day! The whole team was very nice, honest, and trustworthy. Dinesh was very great and lead with integrity. I absolutely recommend getting your work done here!”

“Jamie was very professional considering the hurricane madness. The staff was quick and knowledge. Asked if I wanted other services. I would definitely drive out of my way for services there again.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cottman Transmission was fantastic from start to finish! Their communication was excellent — they kept us updated every step of the way while we waited for the new transmission to arrive. Once it came in, they got it installed quickly and did a great job. They completely solved the issue, and so far our truck runs wonderfully. Highly recommend them for anyone needing honest, professional, and reliable transmission work!”

“Excellent from start to finish five stars out of five. The whole staff was wonderful knowledgeable and I didn’t have to wait very long at all to get my car serviced and they are actually one of the only places that do the transmission fluid exchange. The dealer wanted to charge me $398 just to look at my car not even to do the job And I only paid 230 at Jiffy Lube and everything was done completely and professionally. I will definitely be back..
I recommend anybody that has a NO DIPSTICK (seal transmission) to go to Jiffy Lube the one in Brandon on Brandon Boulevard and get their transmission fluid exchange done there.”

“Walked in with no appointment so of course there was cars before mine. I didn’t mind the wait (2 hours and some minutes) and when grocery shopping while my car was being serviced. I was given updates through text and calling. Once I got the all done text I was immediately handed my keys and thanked.”

“I got fantastic prices on four tires for Ford Escape SE! I had them shipped to store, made an appointment, and they did the best work! They balanced my tires to perfection. My Escape drives so much better, especially on freeway. Friendly, helpful, and informed.”
