Pat is the mechanic there and he’s done wonders to the blower motor in my truck. Jamel and Tim always makes sure everything is flawless. My favorite thing is that the owner doesn’t push sales. No one ever tries to sell you something unless you really do need it. This is the best tire shop in Tampa.

Terrific! Jamel got me a quote, found it better than all the rest I researched. They did an excellent job and the customer service was excellent! Jamel told me when the vehicle would be done and it was. Only warning; they are busy so plan ahead. They are honest about time lines. Told me around lunch time and the car was available at 1pm.

BEST OF THE BEST place to go!! Went to southern in the 70s and 80s, all our tires came from them. They were the place to go back then, probably still is. Great service, best tires, best prices. I remember them being on florida ave, but not sure. Richard Gilkison worked there, a Ken to my father, Charles Gilkison, the son of Ed Gilkison, that sold cars there at brooks Massey dodge in tampa. Richard Gilkison was my dad's first cousin, Charles Gilkison. This Written by Glen Gilkison, son of Charles Gilkison.

I needed 4 tires badly. Dad, brother telling me to get in ASAP no more tread. I am a Costco member so thought about there but then I saw they needed to ship them in and there was no road hazard coverage choice. I remembered that my Moms group as well as a close friend recommended Southern Tire so I decided to reach out. I was able to get in same day. Friendly service throughout. There was absolutely no high pressure and I was given more than one option. I was able to pick a great tire, alignment, and road hazard. I feel safe again on the road and this is now my go to service shop.

I am so glad I found this place! Very professional, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The manager Jamel (sp?) came through when I needed to replace my flat tire. I originally went to Toyota Tampa Bay yesterday where I purchased my vehicle but they wasted my time AND wanted to charge me double.I called Southern Tire Co. and Jamel told me I could drop off my tire and they’ll have an even better brand tire for me today. Seamless and you don’t feel like you’re taken advantaged at all. As a woman who doesn’t know cars well, I feel confident I can take my car here.

Just moved to Florida, and had someone recommend me to this place. My car was making a funny noise and they did a thorough check and fit me in despite how busy they were. They even stayed late after close to finish up my repairs. Amazing customer service. I will be coming here for all my car service needs from here on out.

I have been going to SOUTHERN TIRE for 8+ years and I would not go anywhere else. Jamal and his entire front office team are awesome. I recently went in and they found a tire that was almost blown. I had my car back in a matter of hours. The owner should consider giving them raises or at least an extra special Christmas bonus!!!

Sitting in traffic and just witnessed a young man here helping an elderly lady put her walker in the back seat and guiding her to the driver's seat. The smile on her face truly showed how much she appreciated the assistance! We also go here for service and it's always great!

I can't say enough about how wonderful Southern Tire was with my daughter! They tried to repair before replace her rim and got her out the door in record time because they knew she had somewhere to be. Thank you!!!

Southern Tire Company came to the rescue for us yet again! I took my truck into a dealership and figured I'd get an oil change and have them check my brakes. I was told by the dealership that my breaks had 5mm left and were fine for the moment. Less than a month later, my brakes started to make a grinding sound. After contacting the dealership to question why my breaks are grinding, I was told to bring it back in. At this point, I did not feel comfortable taking my vehicle the dealership.I have had several previous positive experiences with Southern Tire, so I decided to bring my vehicle to them. Even though they were extremely busy, Tim took me in and got me set up for an inspection on my vehicle. A short time later, Tim called me and informed me that my truck rotors and pads were worn down metal to metal. I let Tim know what the dealership previously told me, and he replied that there is no way I could go through 5 mm of pads in less than a month. Southern Tire did a fantastic job of installing new rotors and new pads on my truck. When I picked up my vehicle, Elio (the mechanic that worked on my car) stated that he could not believe the condition of my old rotors and pads. Elio also reiterated that there is no way my truck could have torn through 5 mm of brake pads in such a short time. We all feel that the dealership did not do their due diligence in their inspection of my brakes, which in turn resulted in a much more involved repair. I am always astounded with the expertise and professionalism of Southern Tire, and am confident that Southern Tire does fantastic, honest work with reasonable prices.A gigantic thank you to Jamel, Tim, and Elio, for all your help in getting my truck safely back on the road.
