Worst experience EVER! They still have my car after 2 months. No communication regarding status of my vehicle. At one point car sat for almost 2 weeks at their mechanic shop they had no knowledge of it being there. When I would contact them NO ONE knew anything about my car or where it was. I have been over 2 months without a vehicle and when I contacted them to see how I could be compensated they said there was nothing they could do. I DO NOT recommend using them and im upset with state farm insurance for having them as in network provider for their customers. Super disappointed
Justin came to my rescue, I am 2 months pregnant and I broke down on the causeway heading into Tampa today. When I called AAA they told me I would be out there until 9:00 p.m. . But they must have called and spoke with Pinellas Auto body and Justin came out right away. He loaded up my car making sure that I was safe the entire time. Then he drove my happy butt all the way back to Port richey. I really hope he did not get in trouble with his boss jim. He definitely was a real lifesaver today. Myself, my family, and my unborn baby thank him so much?!! 10/10 stars!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Just an outstanding team of professionals that are so customer focused. I can’t say enough great things about them from front office to back. Great experiences (once during an accident repair that was bad and they made it far less painful! And just now some quick emblem work for my car that was simple and affordable and fast!!)Don’t hesitate to use them. Best. Service. Work. Employees!!
Thanks so much for helping my granddaughter Missy on Thursday as she was stranded on expressways in Tampa . You are to be commended for your kindness and extra effort.
Repair done earlier than expected. Car cleaned inside and out. Great job!
Ive used them twice in 3 years. Once to replace my alternator, and once to replace my battery. Both times theyve been professional & prompt in completing the work. From calling to leaving the shop, my battery was replaced in the span of about 90 minutes (note this is with them not having the battery on hand as well).
Very comfortable waiting space. Their fish tank is phenominal! Kept being informed of progress on finishing touches. Friendly staff.
They were professional and honest. I will definitely be coming back. THANK YOU
Very friendly! Body Work was done accurately and in less than estimated time frame. Very pleased with job well done!
Great work, Very kind and polite to my 87yr old mother, which isnt always easy. Answered all questions. Only reason not 5 stars is repair took longer than promised. There reason was parts werent coming when promised. Which I know can be a great problem.
Having your car repaired is never a highlight of life experience. However, my experience with Pinellas Autobody and Service was as pleasant an experience as possible. All employees were helpful courteous and knowledgeable. The body work was stunning, and reasonably priced. Hoping I never need body work again, but if I do I will not hesitate using their service.
My car was in a collision and I took it to Carstar Pinellas collision center for an estimate..The car was totaled and they handled everything very well. I have used this company before for vehicle body repairs and have always been excellent.
The team at Carstar is top-notch quality and service! I’m always impressed with their professionalism, expert care, and attention to detail. They’re the best!!
Reliable service, have been taking my car there for several years and I trust them.
Pinellas Auto Body/ Carstar did a great job repairing the damage to my Camy’s rear bumper. I recommend this company for restoring body damage.
Pinellas Autobody fixed a broken taillight and fender dent in our Toyota Tacoma pickup. They did and fantastic job! I cant even tell there was any damage! They were super fast!
10/10 Amazing Job, Bodywork done on my vehical looks brand new. Would definitely do business with them again. Highly recommended.
Was told it was going to be a week job and only took 2 days. Quite impressed and did a great job. Would definitely use again.
Very good customer service and they did fine work on my cooling system
Pinellas Autobody and Service quoted me an out the door price that was right on. They were incredibly courteous and professional. Excellent service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Am going back next week to have my brakes done.
Great service,quick towing, Ryan was fantastic,great tow driver
They are awesome! So much better than the dealer!
They did an immaculate job on my car. You cant even tell there was any previous damage. Highly recommend and prices seem to be fair.
Thorough checkup of fluids, oil change. Tires, filters, etc. Very efficient. Waiting room clean and pleasant. Staff friendly and experienced.Good experience. Will use again in future.
They took our car in around 9am on a weekday just for a diagnostic, and possible labor. They said they would call but have not. We had to call multiple times and nothing was even done yet. It’s been at least 3 hours at this point, and they kept saying their technician was out to lunch or going to lunch. It’s taken an unnecessary long time for a simple diagnostic.
The team was so nice and professional! We got our car towed here after popping 2 tires and damaging the rim of one of my wheels, and they were able to replace the tires and get them to hold air without replacing the rim which saved me so much money. I was back on the road the same day! Now I will go here anytime I need something for my car :)
Communication with customer is superlative. Allen kept us posted about issue, patiently and professionally answered questions. This is a AAA location. Will be taking vehicles there!
Vanessa that set this appointment up with me as well as locating and pricing the off market guts of my door and working with my schedule was a gem. The rest of the service was good too.
Very professional exceptional service truck came out perfect ahead of schedule price they same as estimate good Job thanks!
Excellent work in a timely manner. Very friendly office staff especially Jesse & Vanessa. Highly recommend!
Love the work they do, they went above the norm and helped my wife to get OME parts at no extra cost for the repairs on her car.
Great Service! Called me with estimate and time to replace the alternators and battery. Then they followed through! Milt Levine
I have been going to Pinellas Autobody for over 10 years. Guys are courteous knowledgeable & reasonably priced
Great people to work with .. i always work with Jesse when I bring my work vehicles in for bodywork
I have used Pinellas Auto Body several times. They are a quality operation giving precise information about the repairs, timing and costs. I rate them as excellent for service.
They are the best and prices are reasonable
Did a great job, glad I found an honest auto shop in Pinellas, plan to take all my cars there from now on!
Had to have body repair to my car. Looks great 👍
CARSTAR Pinellas Autobody does Great and Quality work, Darryl and Jesse are Awesome...thanks guys.
Very nice people and body shop
They replaced 1 coil and oil change and with a 10% discount they charged around $278 total. Labor $168 for a less than 30 minute job. I didnt want the hassle of having my car towed anywhere else, so I just went with it because it was right before Thanksgiving and I had errands to run. But never again. Maybe if it was the entire coil pack replaced but 1 coil. I also asked for synthetic blend oil change, received conventional oil per receipt. Thanks for the fast service and getting me back on the road but the price and disregard for my request no thank you.
Brought in a 2001 Ram needing a heater core swap. Tech took me through my options, and I opted to go through with the entire procedure. I could grip that it cost too much or it took to long but honestly it was a horrible ordeal and I was not willing to tackle it myself but these guys got it done and its absolutely to my satisfaction.
Don’t go here! I took my car in for a simple diagnostic check at 10am on a week day. I was told I would know what’s wrong in a couple hours. Never heard from them. When I called they told me they won’t know until tomorrow bc he was leaving that day for a docs appt and the tech was out to lunch. This was at 2 pm the same day. He did promise to have me an answer in the morning but never head from them. I called again and they still had no answers. I had to threaten that if I didn’t hear from them by noon I’m just coming to pick up my car. The called me at 1245 and told me they still don’t know what’s wrong I’d have to take it somewhere else. This place is a joke!
This place is great. My rav4 was in an accident. They repaired it to probably better condition than it was in before. They are very accommodating and professional. I will always bring my car here.
On 6/25/20 this company responded to my AAA call for roadside assistance. The technician, Gabriel arrived within 20 minutes of my call and was very professional, efficient and friendly. I was on my way back to work in no time. Thanks Gabriel and Pinellas Auto Body for the excellent service!
Second time using them for paint and body work. Both times, excellent and on time. Great value and customer service. Body/paint work was superior. Thank you.
Outstanding repair facility. Very professional, kept me updated on all repairs along with the price. When I arrived the price was as quoted and they were able to give me my AAA discount. I would definitely recommend.
We are new permanent residents to Clearwater, Florida and are happy to say we have found our go-to auto mechanic. The service here was honest and timely. Thanks again!
My car was broken down for over a week. I thought I had a decent mechanic that tried his best to fix my car. Finally I purchased AAA, and not only as soon as my AAA was ready to use (Drew) the tow truck driver for Pinellas Auto body showed up quickly. He was very helpful and nice. I had afew auto shops I could tow too but since Drew was so helpful I decided Id try Pinellas Auto body shop! What a GREAT CHOICE! THE WHOLE STAFF ARE WONDERFUL, VERY CLEAN AND COOL AND COMFORTABLE PLACE TO WAIT FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO BE FIXED. JIM (THANK YOU!) FOR QUICK RELIABLE SERVICE! I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND PINELLAS AUTO BODY! VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! 🌻
Let the buyer beware! Make sure if youre gonna get services done here that you get your QUOTE FOR SERVICE in writing! I was told one price which was acceptable, but then after the work was completed was giving a bill for a completely different price!3x the amount I was quoted! Management proceeded to argue with me instead of listening to what questions and concerns I had when trying to understand what all the charges were. I am no car mechanic but I am Not an idiot either. They will try to gouge you on the labor so watch out when you shop here!
My car was acting strangely, like it might die any minute. The folks at Pinellas Auto took it right away, located the problem and replaced the part. There was a clean, comfortable place for me to wait, so I didnt see how they located the issue. But my car has been running smoothly since, so Im happy.
Very professional staff. Excellent body work.
Great service, great communication.
Good service. Affordable for my dad. Brake pads still locking up but less then before. Im sure they already know why.
Pinellas Auto Body and Service Is Simply The Best!!!! They have saved me family numerous times with their superior customer service, fair pricing and satisfaction guaranteed mechanical work. If you have teenagers and / or rely on your vehicle for work - they too can be your best friend! I highly recommend them. Thank You Thank You Thank You!
Definitely reliable and friendly people to work with. Thanks for all your help with my civic jesse!
Honest service..AAA recommended this shop when I had to have my car towed. They very easily could have said you need a new starter, a new battery and battery terminals..they said you just needed your terminals cleaned. My bill was $22.99..I am sold from now on if I need work done!
Awesome experience! Would use again.
Excellent service. Great staff
Allan and the team are always very helpful! Thank you so much for always been the best ! I will not go to anybody else but you guys !
Extremely helpful in finding the issues with my vehicles and keeping me informed on the progress of repairs! Have always been happy with their service and work!
Extraordinary professional service. Totally trust their work and prices.
I had an accident and it was a insurance claim there work was professional and there customer service and the work was A plus I would refer them to anyone . Thanks for the great job👍🏻.
We have always had a great experience. The staff is personable. The work is always on time. The work is always extremely well done.
Wow...so professional so courteous.I hadnt had damage or an accident in over 20 years and this company knew how to put my mind at ease and make everything so much easier than I expected.THEN we get to the work they did.. Phenomenal!! Exceeded my expectations for sure. 10/10 would recommend 😁😁😁
AMAZING PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE... JUST WOW. It was by luck, that i found this collision department. My car died and needed to be towed, was taking it somewhere else, until SAM the tow guy for Pinellas gave me a card and told me it was my choice, but he was confident that i would love the work and shop... and BOOM took a leap of fate and told him to take it to service shop.. then i called the Collision department spoke to the most PROFESSIONAL, KINDEST, COMPASSIONATE -- KIM, during COVID-19, hard to ask for rides & scared to do UBER/LFYT but KIM, she DROVE DOWN to service, did an estimate for me... ABSOLUTELY FAIR & AFFORD estimate... She ordered the parts, and got my car to be fixed, kept me in the loop entire time... my engine is still acting up, and KIM & the wonderful staff, WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND CUSTOMER SERVICE... Kim took my car back to service for me... its the small acts of kindness and help that makes me want to give 1000% star review.. Very impressed with Collision and service! SHOUT OUT TO TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAM, KIM (estimator) & OWNER FOR HAVING AMAZING STAFF!
Today I had to call triple A, I was very fortunate that this is the company who got the call to come out. The driver was so friendly and professional, had great conversation during the long drive back to Holiday. I would highly recommend this company just because they they hire great people like him. Thank you!
Your company has done other work for me in the past with superior results and the work you completed on my wifes Subaru is no different.Your standing within the community continues to build goodwill and a reputation for excellence.There is no better advertising than word of mouth and I can assure you that I will actively influence and encourage others in need of collision services to think of your organization first.
Woke up to a dead battery in our Volkswagen Touareg. Contacted Pinellas Autobody and Service and they were able to fit me in the same day and get the very oddly located battery under the driver seat replaced by lunch time! Impressed with the great service and they even gave me a ride back home then came back and got me when the vehicle was ready! Found my new local mechanic shop.
Very friendly driver Ray took great care loading and unloading my classic car after a break down caused a need for a tow home! Would use them anytime.
They do superb work and prices are the best.
Very trustworthy, experienced auto mechanics. Diagnosed & fixed my daughters car quickly. Highly recommend 👍
Jim was excellent- his professional opinions saved me time and money- would recommend to anyone looking for fair honest timely repairs
Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I would use them again in the future. My car was finished in the time frame they told me. It looks good as new, Im very much pleased with the work.
Pinellas auto body has great service with a friendly staff at both locations. They took a look at a rattling noise that came from underneath my car, diagnosed it and fixed it within half of a day. They only charged me the diagnosis fee as well, since it was a fairly small fix. They have my business and I recommend you give them yours!
About 6 weeks ago, I was beginning a ride back to PA when I had a battery issue. Pinellas could not have been more helpful, jumping my battery and then installing a new one. Got to my destination that night totally on schedule.Total thumbs up to Pinellas!Thanks guys.Joe Ambrose
Exceptional customer service and mechanical servicing.Replaced the water pump on my SAABGot great follow-up calls as necessarySteves an excellent mechanic.I didnt get screwed and ABSOLUTELY suggest this shop.Thanks guys, back home safe and sound.
Car looks newJose was awesome
Kelci rendered roadside service by replacing my dead battery; she was outstanding. Kelci was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and provided all-round great service!
Pinellas Auto Body is always efficient, reasonably priced, and gets the job done. They will suggest repairs without being pushy. I have taken my car there for about ten years, and I am happy with their service.
Great work, your car will come back better than it was before the damage!
Hard to find people who know their job. Happy I found this place.. Staff is helpful. Everyone cordial. No problems or complaints with anything done by them
Jim was very helpful and fixed my car same day.
I got a flat on a busy highway and the tow truck driver Virgil went above and beyond to get me to safety and change my tire and even bought me an ice cream. super grateful for him & the fast service!
Everyone is so nice and friendly. They were very committed to understanding the issue with my vehicle. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because the recognition didnt drive my car too far when he fixed it. Once I recieved it, there was another issue that could have been address before I picked it up. However, they were able to look at it and quickly identity the issue before they closed. Thanks Pinellas Auto Body!
Impeccable work. When we picked up our vehicle, it looked like we had just driven it off of the dealership lot. Matt is very helpful and communicative. And I have to give a shout-out to their tow truck driver- forever grateful to have you there during one of the most stressful of situations. When I took the car to the dealership for a routine oil change, the technician was impressed with the quality of workmanship on the paint job- thats how good they are at restoration.
My wife got into two different accidents and both times I have taken my 2015 Ford Escape there. Very courteous and very professional. Mike s. And all the office personal were very helpful. Highly recommend to all my friends and family.
I had multiple issues with my vehicle and the team here took extensive care of it. It was good to know that they were constantly putting my car through the motions to see if the problem was actually handled or not. Im so used to other places just installing a new part and telling you it should be good but not really diagnosing the rhythm and if that actually was effective. They were very thorough and made sure it was stable enough for me to drive it around normally. I truly appreciate that. Bob & Allen were very helpful and informed me the best way they could without being pushy or upselling. Pretty solid experience. Time will tell the true quality of repairs but as for now, Im happy with the service and recommend it sincerely. Thank you!
Not a good experience. The issue got worse.Was forced to stop driving shortly after the repair and go to nearest mechanic who stated that the bearings (passenger side) were not replaced as was reported to me that they were.Additionally, when I spoke to Pinellas Autobody mechanic, he said that he actually replaced the driver side bearings, which was different than what I was originally told was the issue.Also, per the mechanic I had to take my car to after the original repair, he said that when Pinellas Autobody inspected the passenger side bearings they did not reinstall correctly, which is what caused the damage.I called the next day and the front desk guy laughed at me under his breath and would not get a manager on the line.I have not yet gotten a call from the manager a week later.
I love to support family owned local business. I’ve had my car their multiple times. The employees are very kind and respectful. My car was done on time and they called me with updates on my car. I highly recommend this shop to anyone.
My 2013 Pathfinder was towed to Pinellas Auto Body following an accident. The driver of the tow truck was polite and very informative. Within 24 hours, Matt from Pinellas Auto Bod had already worked with the insurance company to get an estimate and repair schedule. The body and paint work was done well beyond expectation and 2 days ahead of schedule! These guys are the best.
These guys did an AMAZING job! God forbid Im ever in the same position and need a body shop but if I do Pinellas autobody is second to none! They understood what my car meant to me and treated it as such. 10/10 would recommend to anyone anywhere. I shipped my car all the way from Tennessee just for their quality and expertise and I am so happy I did so.
I would recommend 5/5 to this autobody shop. When I went in, my sales person, Taylor, introduced himself and told me he’d be helping me. I thought he was just helping me for that day, but he helped me the entire time! Maybe it’s because I’ve never been hit by a car before and needed to deal with a collision center, but I’ve never been to any car place before that does that. He answered all of my questions and always followed through with what he said he would do.
Thanks for taking care of my car
Car towed there by AAA when it failed to start. Pinellas diagnosed the problem the next morning and reported that my car was OK. Must have been the down pour of the previous evening.
I highly recommend this place! Matt was extremely helpful. He walked me through the whole process with my insurance company and was always looking out for me every step of the way. Jim is one of the best painters in the business. They turn out an impeccable job!
Justin made my stressful day so much better with excellent tow service from my home. Friendly knowledge and took great care of my car.
Gabe from Pinellas Auto Body and Service was sent out from AAA because my battery was dead. He arrived promptly, was very friendly and professional. He quickly diagnosed and then replaced my battery in my vehicle. Definitely recommend!
Stephanie was so amazing to work with- she took such great care of us when we needed her help with towing, service and body work for our vehicles. I can’t thank her and the Pinellas Auto Body team enough- thank you again for making our experience so amazing and seamless!!
From Vicki E.The team at Pinellas Auto Body is great! From the estimate until pick up..everyone was kind, responsive, & technically superb...far exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend PAB!
