This place for me is a stellar operation. Recently they went over an estimate for me from another repair shop ( the car was not located near them at the time) and took the time to explain it and indicated that it was a fair price for what was done. They offered to look at the car and give a second opinion which is what I am going to do as I feel comfortable with their operation.

We use Murray Motive to work on our vehicles and we really like them! They are kind, helpful, friendly, and super easy to set up appointments with. Its hard to find a auto place to trust, but we trust them. :)Five stars all around!

Excellent customer service. Does not matter who you deal with at the shop. Staff is knowledgeable and professional. Each job is explained in detail so you can choose priority over general maint. Cleanest lot and shop i have ever seen. Scheduling and follow up is fantastic.Remember you get what you pay for and this facility is worth every penny.

We have been bringing all our cars to Murray Motive for 15 years. They provide dealer quality at a reduced price; more expensive than the corner mechanic, but much better service. Great value. Awesome place.

I have gone to Murray Motive since I was 16 years old, which was about 20 years ago now. I also should mention I live 45 minutes away. Pat and his team have ALWAYS been amazing and really helped me with all the cars I’ve had throughout my life. You couldn’t find a better owner. His current team of Chris and Chris are super great about communicating problems and explaining what is going on with the car. As long as Murray Motive is around my cars will be going to them, even if I have to fly them there ha ha!

I have been going to Murray Motive for several years and really appreciate their quality of work and high level of professional service. Everyone I talk with there is helpful and friendly. I highly recommend them.

Great service and customer care! I have found my new mechanic! I originally called my usual dealership for replacement of wheel bearings for my 2013 Lexus es350 and was quoted an outrageous $1,100 for the repair. I called Murray Motive after a friend had recommended them. CJ was prompt and courteous on the phone. He quoted me ($299 with parts and labor included) and said they could work on the car that same day… a savings of $800! I was even offered the use of a loaner vehicle for the day while I waited for the work. All they asked was that I replace what gas I used— nothing more.The car was ready a few hours later and is running great. There was no attempt to try and “upswell” me on any other packages or additional services I didn’t need. Just an honest job for an honest price.It was a great experience and the next day I received a text from Pat, the owner, asking how everything had gone. That is customer service at its best and a bit of a lost art. I will take all my cars here first from now on. Keep doing business the way you are doing it Pat!

They found and repaired all the damage the rodents did to the electrical system. They gave the option to replace the fuel pump while they had the tank down but didnt force it. The car is running and shifting great and I know how fast I am going once more!

I spent in the low thousands getting my older BMW repaired after the belts broke which I was surprised at, because being such experts they didn’t notice what poor shape they were in when I had it in to be serviced before they broke. However after that the car ran fine but a couple months later suddenly the transmission was not acting up correctly it would downshift two gears at a time or something like that anyhow. I called them to ask about bring it in for the diagnosis and they said they don’t do transmissions, even though it’s clearly stated they do. There was a simple computer error and after all the money I spent in their shop they wouldn’t even look at my car. What good does it do to have a regular mechanic/repair shop that you take your car to when they tell you something like that? Thank you Murray Motive! I will never bring my BMW there again or any car I own for that matter, because I would expect that the repair shop l choose to be my trusted partner in all repairs to at least look at my car.

When I take my 1999 Jeep Wrangler to Murray Motive, its like the Mayberry, NC repair garage where they always know your name.

They always do a great job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend their team.

I have used Murray Motive for maintenance and repair of all of my vehicles for about 25 years. I have never been disappointed. Great people and great workmanship! I highly recommend Murray Motive.

Great place to have your car repaired. Did the brakes in 3 hours, very clean and friendly. Explained price and work done.

I have had my car work done at Murray Motive for over two decades. They have always done an excellent job. This company is trustworthy and helpful. I would recommend them for work on anyones car.

I know when I get my car back it is going to be perfect! Service is the best!

Just dropped off my car here so far they are very professional, clean and ask a lot of questions. They answer all of my questions, and Pat was very professional. They are also a dog friendly place. I am impressed with what they are doing their and abroad with their A.R.M. Very friendly staff, very convenient for me .. I will definitely recommend this Auto shop to friend and family...

Murray Motive fixed my a/c quickly and correctly. Very professional. Handled everything via phone and dropping car off at night using their drop box. Conveniently made my appointment online! So it was completed without physical contact due to Covid-19 restrictions. I am very impressed!

Last few years Murray had repaired & fixed my 2002 Toyota Tundra truck. Updated new timing belt, water pump, new plugs & wires, converter, replaced the oil cover & oil pan gaskets etc. Last week they put in a four new tires & an alignment. I am very please with a new Sumitomo Echanced H/T 265/70R16 tires they installed. These guys in the office are professional, friendly & honesty. I have to give them 5 Stars service.

Excellent across-the-board .did excellent work on the car the attitude was perfect and a wonderful easy transition of having the car repaired and having job done, well done and also in closing payment .To all thank you very much God bless you all continue to be the light in this dark world Amen ❤️🙏👼👼👼👼👼👼

Chris and the team of mechanics do an efficient, clean, and on-time with our automotive repair needs. A/C parts not cheap, but they get it working. Thanks for getting me back on the road so quickly.

Super! Awesome! Excellent customer service! If you want dependable, affordable car repairs, Murray Motive is the place to go!! You wont be disappointed!!

The price is very good for the type of service you get. Plenty of value!!

This place is GREAT! Friendly people, clean customer area, and extremely thorough. Highly recommend!

I took my 2011 Toyota there on a recommendation from a colleague and could not have been more pleased with the service. The guys in the office were friendly, courteous, and professional. CJ sent me a detailed list of what they found and then called me to go over and prioritize the items with me. His explanations were thorough and detailed, but not confusing at all (I am not a car person :). I felt very comfortable trusting his recommendations after we talked -- did not feel pressured or scared into fixing anything. I love supporting a local business and even had the opportunity to meet the owner as he was working in the office when I dropped off/picked up my car. I can see why their reviews are so wonderful! I will definitely be back and would recommend them without hesitation!

Ive had our ML350 and Explorer serviced here recently. Great service and value. Professional service advisors whom keep you updated on your vehicles progress at all times. Im customer for life. Highly recommend!

Our lone work truck never sits idly at Murray Motive. They know we depend on it so they schedule us at a time we can get it in and they can efficiently complete the work to prevent unnecessary down time. CJ, Chris and Pat communicate throughout the process and the mechanics walk us through any questions we have patiently so that we feel educated and comfortable with any repairs being made.

There are few constants in life. Murray Motive is one for me. I have been going to Pats place for more than 20 years. Why? Simple. I trust everyone there. Im sure there are a lot of other repair shops that do great work, but knowing you can trust someone to tell you the truth, do the work responsibly and stand behind their repairs is invaluable. The idea that he treats everyone like family is just a bonus.

Murray Motive has been servicing my vehicles for over 20 years. I have never had my cars serviced elsewhere. They do an exceptional job of alerting me to services required now as well as those that will be required down the road. They may not be the cheapest shop in the area, but when you combine the quality of their work with the integrity they bring to the job, I would not take my cars elsewhere. They are absolutely the best.

Professional, courteous and friendly and competent. Also, gave me a very nice loaner car overnight. Coordinated with my extended warranty to save me over 80%.

A great place for all your automotive needs.

This company is not your typical auto repair shop. They do quality work at fair prices and they genuinely care about you as a person and servicing your car. I will never go anywhere else.

Ethical and knowledgeable staff. Other places dont give you a rental car, they quickly handed me rental car keys and I didnt waste any part of my day there. Great team there!

I will be a customer for life — professional group, trustworthy, and all around great business. I’ve gone through a few mechanics, but none of them were as detailed as the group at Murray’s Motive. I’m thankful to have my car running smoothly — and will be back for any minor or major car need.

Chris has been my guy for 5years. Everything automotive I go to them. They work well with my extended warranty and get the job done fast but with quality.

Ive been a faithful customer at Murray Motive for almost 20 years. I cant imagine a more honest and qualified mechanic shop exists anywhere else. I know what its like to doubt the credibility of my mechanic, but I can hoestly say Ive never felt that with Pat Murray and his team. If youre looking for peace-of-mind, look no further than Murray Motive! Give them a try and see for yourself.

For quality service, bring your vehicle here. The guys always do a great job and the service is awesome as well.

For more than 25 years I have had consistent, excellent service from Murray Motive. They have always explained what was needed, why and my options for maintenance/repairs. I appreciate their organization in keeping a record of work done and what will be needed to keep my car in great shape. It has been of great value to be able to trust their integrity for as many years as I have!

These guys are great! Super-fast service and the fairest pricing Ive ever seen at a repair shop. I sent a good friend there just after my first visit and he was just a pleased as I was.

This service shop is par excellence! Highly professional, clean, friendly personnel, the ideal place to bring your vehicle.

Have always had punctual and thorough service here! Any question I’ve had was answered upon inquiry or the standard follow up after completing service to my vehicles. Will return because they have earned my trust over and over again. The customer service is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone in search of a highly competent and reliable place to bookmark so you’re not scrambling when something inevitably fails on your vehicle. Thankful to have them in the neighborhood!

Murray Motive is m y Go To service center for any technical issues with my vehicles. They provide excellent value and the quality of their work is superb!

Always dependable and trustworthy which is why we keep going back and recommending Murray to our friends. for many years.

We have been loyal customers of Murray Motive for 35 years. Pat Murray is an honest and caring businessman who treats his clients with respect. His entire crew exhibit the same great qualities. My most recent experience was with Rob on a complicated computer issue to solve an undetected electrical battery drain. He immediately knew how to address the issue and solved the problem much quicker than I anticipated. They are the best around!!

Honest place of business. Asked for a rotation, they said I didnt need one because they did one last month. I guess I forgot but they didnt. Saved me some money.

Bought some parts online and got in over my head, so I called around to a number of auto repair places. CJ gave me a fair and honest price to install the parts I ordered, scheduled me quickly, and was responsive to all my questions. Highly recommend Murray Motive.

Ive been going to Murray Motive for many years and have the utmost trust in Pat as a man of integrity. He is fair and honest. Another big plus is that they almost always have a loaner car available for free, which makes it so convenient when the repairs might take awhile. I definitely recommend Murray Motive!

Chris was amazing! Not only did he get me a brand new tire for a decent price, he let me know about a few other items I needed to keep my eye on and to being it back so he could take care of it. The attention and care was refreshing. Thanks Chris!!

Thanks for the fair review of my used car for sale.

My family has been using Murry for our car repairs for years and we have never had an issue. The staff is very friendly and does a great job explaining what the issue is and why it needs to be fixed, which is reassuring for those like me who dont know much about cars. Aside from that everyone is very friendly and most importantly they provide quality service. I definitely reccomend them.

Murray Motive is the best you can get. Hands down. They have done the best work keeping my 2005 Honda Element in top shape and saved me thousands of dollars in the process. Their customer service is unmatched. You will not be disappointed.

Always honest and fair, they service all our cars and have for years. I recommend them frequently. The fix it right.

Edit: Murray Motive sent a refund check to me toward the labor overcharge.To install a wheel speed sensor, and get an oil change, cost me $353.00 for labor. Considering the time it should take to to install the sensor is about an hour, Id say they overcharged me.

I’ve used them for many years with my various vehicles and trust the staff and owner completely. They are very professional, fair and honest and explain any mechanical issues so that you can make an informed decision. They even provide a loaner if they have one available...they are simply top notch!12-6-19. Had to take my car in for another issue and Pat, as usual, came out to explain exactly what was done. Loaner was not available this time, however, they gave me a ride home and offered to pick me up when work on my car was completed. Super clean place and polite trustworthy employees who have been there for a long time.

Honest, professional, polite. They do not pay the mechanics to upsell, they pay them well so they dont have to. They are a bit higher but you get great a great job done well. I highly recommend them.

Murray Motive is a high quality auto shop that I would recommend anyone take their vehicle to. Pat is a wonderful person that will take care of you and his team are just as knowledgeable, friendly, and reasonable to work with. Ive taken my car there many times and am pleased with its current performance, seeing as Im squeezing as much mileage out of it as I can for the time being.

I have had my vehicles serviced here for several years. They are competent, trustworthy, and very customer service oriented. They thoroughly explain repairs and provide alternate transportation as needed. I havent noticed a lot of employee turnover so it must be a decent place to work.

Murray Motive is a great independent automotive repair shop. Chris Sullo is my advisor. He provides excellent personal, yet professional support and advice. They offer loaners while they work on your car too! Give Chris a call. This is where I bring all my vehicles.

Knowledgeable, courteous staff. After praying for an honest repair shop, I was lead there, and I wasnt disappointed.

Just got a call from the shop owner, Pat, who politely told me that he doesnt want me as a customer any more.. The reason: Disagreeing with their diagnosis. I took my car up for a checkup and got a call a few hours later saying that they dont know what the problem is, but I should start with a transmission flush, but they dont know if that will fix it. The price - $380. I took some time to think on this, and declined. They then said they had to charge a 120 dollar diagnosis fee. I do understand that it took time to look over my car, but the diagnosis was so off, I wasnt going to let the guy off the hook. He argued to the point that I said okay, Ill pay it. When my wife and I went ot pay, he said it wont be any charge. 24 hours later (today) I get a call from Pat. Im sorry, but I dont think you would be a good fit for us as a customer. Narcissistic words from someone that is afraid to be called out on their mistakes. Needless to say, I brought my car elsewhere and is running just fine now. Nevertheless, my relationship with them has come to an end.

I started going to Murray motive over 20 years ago, when a close friend recommend I take my suburban there for service. I wouldn’t dream of changing to another service center. They have provided honest and consistent service for all of our families vehicles for over 20 years. Now that my kids have grown they also insist on using Murry Motive for their auto service needs. I can say I have dealt with the same group of service techs and employees over the last 20 years. We know them all by their first names. The fact that their employees stay with them for decades speaks for itself. The level of service I received there is similar to that of a dealership, they provide accurate estimates, if they discover a problem that was not discussed during the estimate they will call and inform me with a recommended solution. They even provide a courtesy car or a ride for me to go home if the service requirement Exceeds several hours. I have learned to trust their recommendations as they have proven to be 100% correct over the years. We have recommended to our friends that require quality Auto services, and they still use Murray Motive today.

My husband and I have been taking our vehicles to Murray Motive for over 20 years. They have always been fair and honest with us. If there is a problem which is very rare they take care of it. I have referred family and friends to them and have been told the same thing . I honestly cant say enough good things about them. The staff and owners are friendly and really care about their customers they make you feel comfortable and you know you are dealing with people who are not going to rip you off.

Called for a simple front bushings price quote, should be simple stated my cars make and model. I know what’s wrong with my car and my car only has a front arm bushing but was told there was no way he could figure out what I needed after I told him exactly. I’m a top fuel drag racers daughter and I understand simple mechanics. I don’t appreciate being treated like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Called the next shop and they new exactly what I was talking about. Very shady

Great service, a truly trustworthy mechanic!

THEY OVERCHARGE! SO if you want to overpay then yes they do quality work I finally have spare time and learning about my cars and do my own maintenance now, they charged me $75 for a 5 to $10 fix, after I payed close to $800 dollar fix for coolant issue a nice true mechanic would of fix a simple problem like that for free of charge for returning customers they lost my business.

Great service.

Murray Motive is always prompt and professional. The first time I worked with them, they could have ripped me off and I would have been none the wiser. Instead, they told me I needed a far less expensive repair than I thought I needed, and fixed it and sent me on my way. They even provided a loaner for my wife the last we needed service. Top notch mechanics!

This is my second visit here. Great customer service, excellent communication. I feel good about the work done on my car.

Mechanics that you can trust! Their work is thorough and theyre honest-best auto repair in the county!

Tampa residents should feel very blessed to have a place like this close by. In a world full of dishonest and unfair mechanics.garages, Murray Motive stands as a shining light. Always honest, always fair and always quality work whether it is your first or, tenth time visiting.This place is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and bring your car here for any repairs or knowledge. You will not be disappointed.

I have been bringing my vehicles to Murray Motive for at least 15 years and highly recommend them. They are knowledgeable, fair, honest and go the extra mile to insure quality customer service. Keep up the great work!

I had a great experience at Murray Motive! The guys in the office were very friendly and kept me posted with the progress of my car. The mechanic that worked on my car was very informative and gave helpful advice. I could tell he actually cared about customer safety and made sure I had the proper information. Honesty is so rare in this industry but the people at Murray Motive show a lot of integrity and made me feel safe. So grateful for this place!

I have a 2011 Toyota Corolla S. My car was taking a trip of about one thousand miles so I thought I better get it checked out for a road worthiness. After reading Google reviews on May 21, 2020 I thought Murray Motive Auto repair and tire might be the place I want to get my car checked out.If You want to get unnecessary repair at a very expensive price please take your car to Murray Motive Auto repair and tire.I paid $69.96 plus tax to get my car checked out at Murray. The inspection findings were:1. Check Engine light on, Trac off light on, Low tire Pressure light on2. Needs Oil change 3. Both front tires are down to wear bars and rear tires are not much better 4. Steering wheel is off center to the left and also pulls to the left 5. Toyota battery looks old, starting to leak acid 6. Wiper blades are falling apart and dont match 7. Engine oil starting to leak from the timing cover 8. Serpentine belt is red and dry but no cracks yet 9. Belt tensioner may need replacing 10. Brake and transmission fluids are dark 11. Rear drums brakes are 3/4 or better but very dusty and way out of adjustment and front brakes are 3/4 or better. 12. Engine and cabin filters need to be replaced. The cost to repair SOME of these items listed above $1110.76.I took the same car, same afternoon to another full service automotive place within a mile of Murray Automotive. The cost to get the car checked out for road worthiness much less than $30.0. Their diagnosis- Car needed Oil change and 2 front tires replaced. Battery is fine. Engine air and cabin filters are fine. There is no Engine oil leak from timing cover. Brake and transmission fluids are fine. Total cost - About one third of what Murray quoted. They checked everything Murray checked plus more.My contact at Murray was C.J.P. S. There were no rodent dropping or dead leaves in the cabin filter. This car is driven by my daughter who is a doctor. The car is being parked at a secure location all the time. I got a quote from CJ to fix a few items for $1110+. I got a quote in writing from another full service auto service shop. I am a Systems Quality Engineer worked for a very large company and have been in the country over 52+ years. I know how some of these shops operate. I stand by what I wrote.

Ive been a customer for 15+ years and they are always 💯 I cant say enough about the quality of work and integrity of Murray Motive!! 🏅 They do impeccable work and have a wealth of knowledge with an ability to communicate amazingly to customers. 🙌🏼

What can you say about a family owned and operated business that I have known and done business for over 20 years.Most of their mechanics have been with them for a long time, that says a lot right their. You just dont find that any where.Simply the best. If you want your vehicle repaired properly by someone who truly cares then you found the right place.Keep up the Awesomeness !

They are very through and extremely safety conscious. They are extremely knowledgableFor every make and model vehicle and most trustworthy.

I took my 06 land rover lr3 to Murrays, they diagnosed my problem very precisely, they were completely honest, and were concerned strict about my complete satisfaction, not only on making money. I would advise any one with mechanical issues to put there trust in the professional, and expertise hands of Murrays. There are truly above and beyond.

Everyone hates car repairs. Finding a quality repair shop that is honest and has your best interest at heart is rare. Plus if there is an issue, they stand by their work. Worth a giving them an opportunity.

Everyone knows you cant trust mechanics. But, at Murray Motive, theyre car specialists; and I trust them every time. From honest inspections to competitive rates, choose Murray Motive to look after your car and wallet.

First class all the way. Clear explanation of what is needed, no add-on surprises. Fair and honest dealings and great trustworthy mechanics. Used this shop exclusively now for as long as theyve been in Oldsmar.

I have known Pat for many years and have trusted Pat and his team with all of my automobile repairs with 100% satisfaction. Pat is not only an honorable business man but conducts business at the highest level of integrity and performance. I also call Pat my friend.

Pat Murray and his team are beyond exceptional! Family oriented, honest, friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

Gave Murray Motive a shot on the advice of a co-worker after trying a few other shops in the Oldsmar area and Im extremely satisfied with the services I received (I had a power steering leak). The price was fair, and the mechanic did a really good job. I would def. recommend.

Way Over Priced! Going back a few years, I took my vehicle there to have my door handle and auto lock fixed. To my dismay, they fixed a mechanism in the door but it did not fix the handle or the lock and they charged me around $200 or $300 and I didnt authorize the fix. In a desperate situation, my husband took our vehicle back to them to have our alternator replaced. While they did match the price of the alternator that my husband found online, they way over charge for labor. We needed a second alternator replaced in our other vehicle and we were able to shop around and found that Awesome Automotive was $300 less. We wont be taking any of our vehicles back to Murrays again.

Ive been bringing our cars to Murray Motive for more than 20 years as many of my co-workers at Lockheed Martin. I have nothing but the highest praise for Pat Murray and his staffs. I can always rely on them to keep our cars in safe driving conditions. I completely trust Murray Motive with our cars. Thank you.

Most awesome shop of mechanics! Not only do these men know the in’s and out’s of vehicles and how to repair them, but they go the extra mile in providing excellent customer service that you do not find anywhere.I have a very old car in which parts are not easy to find. These gentlemen went above and beyond to find parts throughout the country to fit and make things work again. Their expertise and knowledge are what I count on to know that the repairs are done correctly so I can have peace of mind.You will not find a finer shop of mechanics!

I have been a happy Murray Motive customer for over 20 years. Ive trusted them to not only take care of my cars, but also the cars my teenage sons have driven. They are professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, and have always completed the work in the stated time-frame.

As I was driving to Florida with my kids for spring break I noticed my AC was not working. I stopped by Murray Motive for what I thought was a recharge. Found out I was very close to having the whole unit break. Fixed with no issues. As they were inspecting the engine, Rob noticed an issue with the air intake. Not a huge issue but asked to fix it and I had about a 10% increase in MPG on the way home. Thanks for all the help!!

My family and I have been going to Murray Motive for the past 5 years and we have NEVER had an experience that was less than exceptional. I cant recommend them enough! The customer service is amazing! They go above and beyond to get you the parts you need and talk you through the whole process. They are honest, upfront, and will not try to oversell you. Its so hard to find a mechanic that you can trust. Seriously, look no further!

Ive been to this shop two times and both times all staff were very efficient, patient, and helpful. At one point they were honest with me about not being sure what was causing a particular issue and while they had a suspicion, they didnt want to do the repair and charge me until they were sure it was the correct solution. The shop is clean, of high quality, and trust worthy in my experience

These guys are honest and fair. Youd be hard pressed to find a better shop in the Tampa Bay Area!

Great customer service. Thorough explanations of repair suggestions. Worked with me to help find affordable repair options. Comfortable waiting room, prompt service when arrived. Quick service--car was finished with repairs in record time.

The gentlemen at Murray Motive are the BEST!! I had them do all the work on a Mustang that I owned for years, and now I have a different car that I take to them. I feel that this is one place I can get my car serviced and have HONEST people take care of it. The guys there are wonderful..

Pat and his team are some of the best out there. There was an intermittent electrical problem that driving us crazy with my the sliding door of our VW (aka Town N County) van. They found the problem and FIXED it right the first time. Ive taken our vehicles there many times and will continue to. You get what you pay for!!! Peace of Mind!

I had a great experience with Murray Motive. I recently went there for the first time to get my Honda CR-V serviced the first time. The staff was courteous and helpful. They explained what needed to be done in detail. They were done with the work on time. Overall a very satisfactory experience. I will be going back to them when my CR-V needs to be serviced again.

The team at Murray Motive is always professional, courteous, thorough, TRUSTWORTHY, and fair. My family and I have been frequenting this shop for well over 15 years. We are grateful for their expertise and dedication.Thanks, Murray Motive!

Been taking my cars to Murray Motive for years. Never had anything to complain about. Always feel like Im being treated like family.

Took my car into the Oldsmar, FL location on Thursday, got it back Friday. I spoke to several different employees via phone call and in person, and to my surprise, every one of them was completely familiar with who I was, and what was going on with my car. They were extremely honest, answered all of my questions, and took time to listen to my concerns. Not to mention they fixed my car. I have already recommended them to a friend!

Been going for years. Service is top notch, they are always willing to explain and prioritize needed repairs. Given great advice on which cars are reliable and good buys when searching for used cars. They have gone above and beyond what was needed everytime we bring our vehicle there. Its a drive for us, but having a trustworthy mechanic is priceless.

I wouldnt have anyone else for my automotive needs. They are great. They have loaner cars if needed. Just nice honest guys!

Ive used Murray Motive to work on 4 vehicles over the years for our family. Always great service and very knowledgeable. The Staff and owners have always treated us great and very honest! I would not go any where else.
