I've been bringing my vehicle to Tim for a few years now. He is the most honest mechanic that I've met and you can tell that he cares for your car like it was his own. I had to get my mom's car serviced here (she lives over 2 hours away) when local shops didn't bother to look into the issue she was having with her vehicle. Highly recommend Tampa Bay Auto Care. Tim provides quality work and customer service!

I have been bringing multiple cars to Tim to fix for over 5 years now. He has always hit the nail on the head with diagnosis and never charged me to fix something to find out later that a problem was still there. Tim even fixes things for free when he can. You do not see this very often this day and age. His recommendations are good and he does not need to make up stories to make money. He is honest and trustworthy. I recommend him to all my co-workers.

Tim is an excellent mechanic who always works with my wife and I on our vehicles. He kept my '98 Escort running longer than it had any right to, and he has my current vehicle running perfectly, despite the fact that I've put almost 2,000 miles on it each month for the last year. He doesn't overcharge for parts, and his service fees are always very reasonable.

Tim told me today, Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022 that he was not taking any new customers for weeks or months from now and instead is saving service time for existing customers only. This said after I explained my car problem, which his website indicated they service. So why ask? Odd that he would turn down a paying new customer to WAIT and see if existing customers need any work on their cars. Existing customers take up weeks and months, leaving no room for new clients? Then take down your website or alter it, and tell the public you are ONLY in BUSINESS for certain customers. Take off the . . ."come in today," statement.

Tim is a good and honest mechanic. He is very knowledgeable, doesn’t push for work that is not needed and it was an overall great experience. The work is done in a timely manner and the rates are fair.Services: Brakes

The auto mechanic we used for several decades recently retired, and we were forced to look for a replacement. Fortunately, we found Tampa Bay Auto Care. Tim was great! He did a superb job, and was able to explain, in terms we could understand, not only what was wrong, but any potential problems we may encounter in the future. We are relieved to have found an auto mechanic who is quick, affordable, honest, and extremely competent. We'll be sticking with Tim, and we give Tampa Bay Auto Care our highest recommendation.Services: Auto brake repair

I was in Tampa visiting my son. My son's car was in need of repair while I was in town and I was referred to Tampa Bay Auto Care (owned by Tim Royer) by several friends. He diagnosed and analyzed my son's car issues and was great to work with. Very honest and does quality work with quality parts (I have several friends who go to him also). My son's car was going to cost more to repair than it was worth and he told me so. He then gave me a referral to someone who helped me find a great used car. I highly recommend Tim to anyone who needs car repairs.

Needed an AC repair and new to the area. Visited Tim at the shop and he was a total professional and a nice guy and was honest, knowledgeable and straightforward with his communication. Shop is clean and professional. My AC was fixed quickly and correctly and the price was very reasonable. Tim takes the time to explain all the options, gives fair estimates and makes spot on recommendations for repair and maintenance. I have returned for other repairs and was treated exactly the same as my first visit. I now have an honest, fair and reputable auto mechanic! Get to Tim now for all your auto repairs and maintenance!

I discovered this shop when my wife’s 2016 Kia Soul’s check engine light came on while driving to work and began running very very rough. This repair shop had consistently amazing reviews. Tim did a fantastic job of informing me of his shop’s capabilities and what was beyond their scope - I found this to be incredibly honest, something not often found with auto mechanics. I had the vehicle towed in and he had the issue diagnosed much sooner than I expected. He went over everything he planned to do, made suggestions and even physical showed me what the issue was when I came to pick her vehicle up. I was so impressed by the quality of work, his experience and communication with me through the entire process. I felt the price was extremely fair and he didn’t try to up-sell me on anything. He even went over the replacement parts and made additional recommendations. I was so happy with the process I’m planing on using them for regular preventative maintenance on my wife’s car and my Lexus. Thanks Tim, it is awesome finding an extremely knowledge mechanic that you feel you can trust.

Tim is amazing! Best mechanic around! Prior to being a loyal Tampa Bay Auto Care customer, I had used another local shop for all of my auto repairs, for nearly 14 years. About 4 years ago, the other mechanic I had used for so long gave up on my car! They said "Your car's running terrible, we haven't figured out why, but aren't spending any more time on it. Come get it." I took it to Tampa Bay Auto Care on the recommendation of a friend, and Tim was able to determine the problem and fixed it! I've used Tampa Bay Auto Care dozens of times since then, for all sorts of repairs on my older vehicles, and they've always been amazing. Tim is great at explaining what's going on with my cars, advising me of my options, and making recommendations.Services: Brake service & repair

Tim is the absolute best mechanic I’ve ever had! I’m sure he’s the best in Tampa! As a woman, and a single woman when I moved to Tampa, I was nervous about a mechanic trying to take advantage of me being a woman and charging me high and unfair prices. I did not have to worry about that with Tim. He looked out for my best interest and was very honest. He was very professional, informative and fair. I would recommend anyone to go to him.Services: Brakes
