This was my first visit to Plant City Automotive. I am fairly new to the area. My A/C would intermittently stop blowing any air at all. Holly and the mechanics carefully assessed the problem. Holly took her time to find the best parts to repair my A/C at an affordable price. My A/C is now in perfect condition and I would highly recommend Plant City Automotive if you are looking for a business that believes in honesty and quality work. I will 100% be using this business for all of my future automotive needs and would encourage others to do the same. Thank you Holly and to the staff for your time and attentiveness!

They are very friendly, helpful, and honest. Holly is extremely patient and friendly. She will explain all repairs needed in great detail and will answer any questions that you ask Their work is high quality and trustworthy. I highly recommend taking your vehicle to them for any repairs needed. After going to them once, I now take all my vehicles there any time a repair is needed

When I retired from the US Army in 2013, I came home to Plant City and the first thing I needed was work on my Avalanche. When I asked around, I was directed to Tony and Holly. Since that time, I have trusted them with anything I need for my vehicles. What sets them apart from others is that they never talk bad about anyone. Other businesses feel they need to talk bad about other businesses to make they look true. True character is verified over time. Tony and Holly are as real as they get. They started out as my mechanics. They have ended up being my friends. Can you say the same about your mechanic?

Holly the wife of the owner lied to me about what they did to the van. All they did was changed one switch, which she said she sent back and did not use, but its clear to see the switch is new. she charged me for two other switches which they did not install. Ripped me off for over $600.00I believe her husband Tony is an honest man and do not realize what is wife is doing.

I brought my wifes car there and told them that my OBD said the catalytic converter was bad. They told me it was a few other things and charged me $1300 to repair it. When we picked it up, it sounded worse than when we originally brought it in. I brought it back and they told me that the catalytic converter was bad,. That is what I told them originally. They charged me another $700 to repair that and it still sounds horrible. Never use them again!

I had my car back on time and for a very reasonable price! Thanks to the team! Very professional and they explained everything, no extra costs for random stuff.

My dad has used this mechanic for years for no reason other than they know each other. Theyve done terrible work everytime. Most recently they pad-slapped my vehicle meaning they ignored massive rotor ridges and simply put new brake pads on to wear unevenly. Tonys mechanic is unprofessional and I have yet to see good work from him. I wouldnt reccomend them to anyone

This company is awesome. I took my car in for brakes and they found that the frame was completely shot with rust. They could have charged me a lot of money for brakes, brake lines etc. yet explained that the car was unsafe on the highway and recommended against repair. They may have saved my life. I asked Holly (and the mechanic separately) what they wanted to charge me. They both insisted that I owed them nothing. I may owe them my life. I certainly owe them my business from now on in Plant City. Thanks Holly. My only problem is there are not enough stars to show my appreciation. I give you ten stars.

Completely unprofessional and rude and so discourteous on the phone, Im only off Mondays I work 6 days a week, called today to try and have an estimate put together for a different day for a tune up on my car, Tony answered the phone, thanks so much for your rude attitude and telling me you just dont have time to help me figure out an estimate for a tune up and then tell me to drive over there any other day to look at it. What I wanted an estimate for was completely simple and for you to take the 5 minutes to ask me the questions about my car, I know exactly what I needed, and for you to dismiss me so quickly. HOW RUDE! I dont plan on coming here!

Some of the most honest mechanics around. Ive had a good amount of work done here and have priced them on numerous occasions: every time, theyre the cheapest, or at the very least, comparable. They always explain my issue and the solution and are happy to show the problem area to me. If youre looking for fair priced, honest mechanics, give plant city auto a chance!

An honest and fair shop that goes above and beyond. I had been misquoted by another mechanic and Plant City Automotive came in over $500 cheaper and was very honest and transparent the whole time. They even looked over my car for me for additional issues and stayed open late to accommodate me. Ill recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!!

Super helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects of auto service. The things they dont personally service, they know others in the industry who they can refer, that are just as great and trustworthy as they are. This only comes from years and years of experience. Highly recommend anyone in need to take their care here! You wont find better service or pricing!

Good repair work. Having been a mechanic once upon a time, Im very fussy about work quality when it come to automotive repair. Looking under the hood of my truck, after a repair at Plant City Automotive, revealed a factory-quality appearance. Impressive and the cost was $200 less than dealer service.

Tony is not only comical but very knowledgeable in automotive. I went in looking for an oil change and possibly a tune up. Tony was honest about me not needing a tune up and did the oil change. I as a woman feel secure with him as my mechanic. I highly recommend Plant City Automotive.

Finally found a local mechanic that I can recommend to everyone. They gave me an estimate (1/2 price of dealer ) to replace the ignition coil wires and plugs on my Mazda Tribute. Idiots at Mazda require you to move top of engine to access rear plugs and replace ignition coil wires.He completed the job for his quote (NO mystery add ons like some repair shops). Mazda runs great (1 month after repairs) and is actually getting about 10% more MPG due to new wires and plugs.THANKS

Plant City Automotive is absolutely great!! Brought my SUV to them on a tow truck and they brought it back to life for me. They have great mechanics and their customer service is by far the best I have experience in the area. Bigger corporate shops have a few things to learn from this small business. Thanks PC Automotive!

Super fair, and super nice people that work there. I came in to get some work done on my suspension. They made room for me and started right away. Usually mechanics will get irritated with questions but with them they didnt mind, which kind of made me feel more comfortable. I recommend them

Review №35

To begin with I was just going in to get a simple oil change along with adding a stop leak so the minor leaks could be sealed. when I called and asked if they were closing it was around 4:30 when they close at 5 and they allowed me to be fit into their schedule so that I can get it done that day even though they had to stay overtime. When I walked into the shop I was greeted by a wonderful receptionist who knew so much and was a great help in locating places that I needed to go for further parts and necessities. The manager I believe even stepped out of his office to greet me and knew exactly what was wrong with my car even though it wasnt good news I was still captivated by the information that he was telling, that I had no idea about my own car, like a true scholar of mechanics. Even though I went in for a small oil change their attention to detail and ability provide great customer service is why I recommend this place 100%. they will never let you down as far as prices, service, and over satisfaction and give to you as much as you need which is rare in mechanic businesses.

THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH ME ON AN ISSUE, THEY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND AND MY EXPERIENCE MAY NOT BE THE SAME AS YOURS.I have a Scion tC that it was time to change the shock strut assemblys on. I ordered the 4 off Amazon, thinking I could change them myself. Well.. they require a special tool to change them so it quickly became a job I cant do without causing some damage. I called Plant City Automotive and explaining my issue. I was told THIS ISNT SOMETHING THEY USUALLY DO but she will work with me, just bring it all in. After bringing it in and speaking with them we realized its a 6 hr job! And thats with an experienced tech with all the available tools! They do not have a shuttle service, however I explained I dont have any way home nor do I wish to wait 6 hrs here. Since I live close by, the owner drove me home! (I did have a seperate ride back to the shop later by family but the service was outstanding) Had my car finished in right around 5.5-6hrs and I came back to get it. On a side note, I had within 24 hrs painted my rims. I informed the mechanic and pleaded that they dont muck up the paint job. The wheels were just as I had left them! They did an excellent job preserving my paint job! I understand that most shops will not even bother with customers bringing in their own parts so I cant thank the people at PC Automotive enough! Again, Im not saying PC Automotive is going to be able to work with you in your specific issue, I just want to share a great experience, and say that I highly recommend these guys!

Purchased an old F-150 from a local dealer and wanted an inspection prior. Holly and Dave walked me through the entire truck for 45 minutes with minimal charge. Awesome people, awesome service, highly recommend.

Review №38

Took my 03 Mitsubishi Outlander in because of a persistent thumping sound. They said it was an engine support, and fixed it. Then the noise came back two days later, I went back and one mechanic rode with me. After which he told me it was because the transmission is as old as the SUV and they get aggressive with age, and or it was from parking on an incline. Not to mention claiming the SUV needed either a fuel filter or new fuel pump after it seemed to stall.A couple months later, I took it to an actual dealership. Know what it was? The differential bushings needed replacing and the transmission needed maintenance. Almost $900 later the noise is gone and the truck drives finePlant City Automotive doesnt know crap. Im starting to wonder if I even needed that engine support to start with. Not taking my SUV back to them, no matter how good their prices are.

Don’t trust all the reviews you read on here. They might have great customer service but you can get the job done way cheaper, even at the dealer. They are over priced. I wish I wouldn’t have chosen this place based on the reviews I read.
