Safety Harbor Auto Repair - Auto repair shop in Safety Harbor - 1025 Harbor Lake Dr, USA

Took my car in for an over heating issue. Turned out was a bad thermostat, replaced and the fixed the AC. Paid the bill and left happy with ice cold air blowing in my face😎. Almost home and the car over heated, UGH ! Call the shop had the car towed in, they promptly looked at it again turns out was a bad thermostat. They repaired took for test drive and did not charge🙂. This repair shop could have said something else broke or even charged me again they didn’t. They stood behind their work and employees work. Great shop will be bring in cars from now on. Thank you for great service.

7/13/24 Got here about 45 minutes to close while I was headed to the beach and my check engine light came on. I was super bummed but headed straight here. Everyone in the shop was super nice and polite. Kyle explained the issue calmly and extensively and I was put at ease. He was able to have his team take care of it same day! My jaw dropped. Impeccable service. Theyre reputable and know what the heck theyre doing. I highly recommend this place, and almost don't want to share this review for a local gem best kept secret ;) I would trust no one else with my vehicles. I like that the waiting area was clean, cool, had a Keurig machine (but no cups lol) music in the bay was EVERYTHING. whichever millennial mechanic it was has excellent taste in music:-) anyway on a more serious note, I so appreciate all of the guys working so diligently in the heat (also on a saturday afternoon) to save the day! Id give this business 10 stars if I could. Many thanks!! ** Update 7/20 my car was still doing the same thing on Saturday when I drove it home. Called the shop on Monday ~8am who stated owner gets in around 9 and to expect a call back then. Disappointed. Went with another shop 🫠

I’m not one to leave reviews. However, this business is worth it. I had a rough time with my vehicle after traveling cross country. My vehicle got checked out at my usual mechanic in SanDiego before I travelled to safety harbor. Sadly they left parts off during an oil change. Safety Harbor Auto not only replaced the parts, but saved me a bunch of money by diagnosing and resolving my car’s “actual” problem. If you want honest mechanics that work hard with exceptional customer service this is the place! They also are reasonably priced. Highly recommend regardless if you are a local or just need something fixed while you are traveling. Thanks so much:) Kyle, Lenny and Gary

Had purchased my own oil/filter... because (i'm a little specific on what I put in my Mustang) I had a scheduled appt with another local corporate owned/ran kinda shop that when I arrived they were too busy to take me also saw them almost launch a truck off if a drive on ramp so I think the Lord was looking out... either way! Called/drove around... eventually called Safety Harbor auto repair spoke to Lenny he was super cool and understanding as he has his own preferences of oil in his car. Honored the price the other shop gave but the way they did my oil change, topped off additional fluids etc etc .. All mechanics in great spirits, everyone just working together chatted cars with Lenny the whole time I was there. 5 stars for entire experience and for fitting me in a busy schedule super last minute. Im rambling but these guys deserve a solid review. Thankful things worked out the way I did. I'll be back for future mechanic needs!!

After many AC repairs well over $2000.00 can't remember how many AC compressor were replaced, I was informed by Mike shop owner that my dashboard had to be removed to replace AC evaporato was leaking. An additional $1500.00 later my dashboard rattles, broke pieces on the dashboard off, vents are not connected and AC still not working. This shop has zero quality assurance, zero check by owner to make sure repairs are completed correctly. So I had my car serviced at dealer and it turns out that it was an aluminum AC line that runs between the rear of the motor & firewall by drivers side. Most techs that are employed there were rejects from other shops near by in Safety Harbor. On a side note Safety Harbor auto repairs ripped off my neighbor who's dying of cancer with a similar AC issue for over $2000.00 and vehicle still had a non working AC in his truck. Stay away, go to the dealer, these small shops in town will rip you off. Get it repaired at a dealership in the long run they're responsible for their work to be done correctly.

Wow. A true working garage with super competent people and Kyle as the front man--and he knows how to treat customers. But it wouldn't matter if the work was anything less than awesome. They literally rebuilt my 2008 BMW 328i using my list of 25 different services/repairs. All done, all perfect and very timely. And super fair pricing. Can't say enough good things and you know how hard it is to find a great shop! I am a client for life.

Fantastic! Mike and the crew gave me incredible quality, value, and attention for a great price. He was easy to work with, reliable, and has helped our family when unscheduled "tire emergencies" have popped up in the past. Sure, he's a little hard to find, so call first! But you are crazy to use those chain tire stores just because they are at high-price intersections. Mike is around the corner, and in the neighborhood. He's got my business, and should have your's too.

Professional, courteous, and trustworthy. After so many negative experiences elsewhere, I’m glad I finally found a reliable shop I could bring my car to!
