Reliable Auto Repair

I am beyond disappointed. I was referred to this business and I have had the worst experience of my life. I brought my truck in because I had a leak in my radiator and my car was overheating due to lack of coolant leaking out. I took my truck in, they seemed friendly, it was Friday and they said they were going to take a look and give me a call BY monday. On Monday I called around 11am and asked if they found the issue and what needed to be fixed, even though I had a good idea of the problem I still wanted reassurance. Turns out they didn’t even look at my car yet. Guy puts me on hold and tells me he’s going to check it out while I’m on the phone, he obviously forgot to look at my car. I am upset, and I question him on why he didn’t look at my car all weekend. I understood it was the weekend and these people have a lot on their plates so I was being kind as possible, simply asking questions. He decides to proceed to ask me what my age is, tells me I am a little kid (23) and starts cursing at me. I hang up and pick up my car and he still has the nerve to try and call me more names as I drive away. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE you will highly regret it. Trust me.

Bob’s is absolutely the best service in St. Pete — honest, competent, friendly, and fair, and really very quick on turn-​around. I recommend them unreservedly — they keep my old Mustang and my nearly-​as-​old 4Runner (which they have, as the other reviewer mentioned, recommended retiring) smoothly driveable.

I have been a fan of Bob (owner) 37 years. He is the most trustworthy, honest mechanic I have know. Busy guy. Busy because the word of mouth from one customer to a newcomer spreads like wildfire because of his honesty.
I have sine moved from the State as of 2 years ago. I remember, I used to have to «argue» with Bob to have him fix a car because he didn’t want to repair it feeling it exceeded the value of the car. How’s that for honest work?
