REVIEWS

We had driven down for several weeks from our home in NC in our Ford F-150 truck. Around noon on the Friday before labor day we got in the truck to run some errands and discovered the front passenger door would not latch when closed, the door just swung freely. We called every local Ford dealer only to be told that we could drop off the truck and they "might" be able to diagnose the problem by Tuesday or Wednesday - one said it would be 3 weeks before they could see us despite this obviously being a significant safety issue. We then called Affordable Auto Care - Troy was honest and said if we dropped it off, he would try to get it in that afternoon but couldn't promise as they were very busy. He committed that it would be looked at by Monday (Labor Day) and if possible fixed that day, but that would depend on what parts might be needed and if he could get them on Labor Day. Long story short, a part that he could only get from Ford was needed and they were closed on Monday. Troy got the part first thing Tuesday morning and had our door fixed by noon and all a very reasonable price. Throughout, Troy was calling to keep us updated on the issue, on the need to wait for the Ford to open to get the part. He even had someone waiting at Ford before they opened to get the part as fast as possible. All in all, excellent communication, superior service, and we had our truck fixed before any of the Ford dealers would have even seen it. We highly recommend bringing all of your auto/truck repair needs to Affordable Auto Care!

Went to Affordable Auto and Truck for maintenance for my Rav 4 2015 as the dealers are too expensive.

Rosa Schueder

I brought in my newly purchased Nissan Leaf with an ABS light on. Not only did they diagnose the issue for FREE, but Sunny (sp) also spent time explaining the issues and provided helpful recommendations to get the necessary work completed. Honest, knowledgeable and they really do go the extra mile to make sure you get the best outcome, even if it's not at their shop. Thank you to the team for your help!

I've been here a handful of times and everything I've had done has been great.

Engine Maintenance

I first went to this shop when I had a check engine light on. Since then I have gone back numerous occasions when other things that I needed done on my car. It's so wonderful to find a shop that isn't out there to just take your money, but try to find a solution without digging a huge hole in your wallet! They don't just fix the problem but they listen to you and pay attention to what you have to say. Which is huge for me! They are fast, but efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and definitely reasonable with Prices. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking! Thanks for everything!

Jessica Fitton

Cattet Bjackxon

This is the third time, we have used Affordable Auto and Truck Repair. They are honest. After looking over our vehicle, they told us what needed to be repaired. They did not try to add items, or get money for repairs that were unnecessary. They were very efficient, and on point with price and completion. We highly recommend and will continue to use this company.

Raise D.Church

These guys do a great job. Small shop with expert mechanics and great customer service. Went in needing several services and they got me in and out quicker and cheaper than I expected.

Jesse Schnuckle

Brakes

I recently had a serious emergency with my Toyota tundra and the dealership really lied to me and try to take me for a ride almost $5000 until I found Affordable Auto they checked everything out so many things were over embellished from the dealership and or just a straight lie. They saved me $3000 plus I got brakes out of it as well as the things that needed to be fixed so I'm pretty happy and they've been very very responsive and have checked on me after service to make sure I'm happy with everything really means a lot that they follow up definitely will recommend this place to anybody.

Daniel Charles Harris

AC Repair

The guys who work here are great at what they do. I came to them to get my compressor fixed under my car dealership warranty. Troy took care of the entire thing & even spent hours on the phone negotiating with my warranty company to make sure that I had the most affordable price & my car back as soon as possible (as he knows I have children & need a vehicle) They even threw in a desperately needed free oil change. I can't thank them enough. This is my new favorite spot to take my car & I will be recommending all of my friends & family to come here. Thank you so much to this crew for fixing my AC in the middle of summer!

Ciera

These guys are awesome. Polite, courteous, and honest! Kept me updated along the way. Highly recommend.

5 STAR and above! Affordable Auto and Truck Repair of Clearwater is fast, fair and an affordable auto shop. I took my car in for battery terminals replacement, and they were much cheaper than the car dealership I went to earlier this morning who quoted me, with at least $200 cost for parts and labor. I highly recommend this auto shop! They are very professional, knowledgeable, very helpful & honest. Final price was exactly as they said with no last minute or hidden fees. It's hard to find an amazing genuine mechanic/auto shop! Thank you again Affordable Auto and Truck Repair of Clearwater. I am a very very very happy customer who saved a lot of money. I am definitely coming back!!!

I found Affordable online threw a site that recommends repair shops in my area. I looked at some of the reviews & decided to try them with my cars overheating problem. After they checked my car out Troy called & let me know what the problem was & the cost to fix it. Since I'm on a fixed income & had just bought the car, I explained that it would take couple of days before I would have the funds available. Troy was very professional, polite, & shared empathy for the situation that the dealership that sold me the car had caused. I'm very happy that I decided to use this repair shop. I'm pleased with the repairs & that my car is drivable again. It is very refreshing these days to find a company that is professional, polite, & show empathy for a situation that may be very unpleasant. If you have mechanical problems with your vehicle & want to be treated like an intelligent person & not just a dollar sign, you need to call Affordable Auto & Truck Repairs. Troy, I would like to thank you & everyone that worked to get my car back on the road. I will definitely be referring family & friends to you. I did compare cost with other shops in the area & Affordable was around the same cost, & definitely less than a dealership. This is my forever auto repair company. 04/05/22 update from original post. I had to call my friends at Affordable again. Per my first post I have to say nothing has changed. They are still my 5 Star auto repair shop, and I will take my car to no one else. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.

Great service and hospitality.

Great customer service, first time called here and was very friendly and welcoming. Will inspect brakes for free then quote. I'm heading down there tomorrow morning and will update my review. So far FANTASTIC!

JW

Affordable Auto did an outstanding job remaining transparent and providing great communication and service!! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for dealer quality work for half the price. They also went out of their way to help me deliver a gift to my friend that lives locally. Thank you!! : )

Matt

Troy and his team were great! Finding someone who could change our Lincoln MKZ hybrid battery, same day, was awesome! Thank you!

Mandee Burke

I would highly recommend using this company for your auto needs. They kept me updated as to my car repair, communicated what they?ve found & repair options. Troy was very helpful every step of the way, & I never felt like I was ?taken a run for my money?. For the price & customer service, no need to review other companies!

Tiffany Noel

The tech did a fantastic job diagnosing and repairing the brakes on my wife's 2016 Honda CR-V. It turns out that whoever did the brakes for the previous owner did them wrong and Affordable Auto and Truck Repair was able to diagnose and fix it VERY quickly. No more squeaky brakes and no more tire sensor light. Great service, great price! Thanks to all of you! Will definitely come back with all my vehicles.

Matthew J. Bennett

Honest and fair dealing from the good people at Affordable Auto?they really do value their customers and they will not take advantage of you. You can just tell that they are a family operated business that stays true to their core values. They fixed my truck up perfectly and for a great price. Very thankful for them! I would definitely recommend anybody here, as well as family and friends.

Alex

Honest business that shows you exactly what needs to be done. Warranties their work for 2 years. Highly recommended.

Found my electrical problem in one day, reset my computer, fantastic! AC works now. No problems. I felt pricing was very reasonable. Only one slight issue, tracked grease on my interior floor and side rail carpet.

Elizabeth Souhrada

They treated me very kindly, and did superb work. Prices were very fair. I will be back.

David Rivas

This place is amazing!! Its so affordable and the QUALITY!!!! They replaced my clutch for my 370z in like 4hrs!!!! And an oil change on top of that...hands down my mechanics for life!!!

Elvin Roman

These guys are fast and diligent and thoughtful. Troy was so patient with me and my difficult schedule! He also laid out a list of repairs in order of urgency to help me narrow things down to what I could afford. I really appreciate everything and plan to return the next time I need work done.

Dani Blye

Our radiator went out in our Ram and these guys were on it to save the day! They would not even let me drive it in and ended up coming to my house to tow it! That saved me from potentially from messing it up more! They all are very polite and professional here. Five star service all around! I will definitely being using them as my mechanic!

Alisha Tuck

They do phenomenal work. You pay for quality I can work on my own car but I've had to take it to them a couple of times. There work is always superb. Very talented techs work there.

Zach Gutkowski

Great service, knowledgeable staff, pricing is acceptable.

Robert Carra

Great people, Thank you Kevin for helping us out in a pinch!

Lola Kovach

Super Kind & Very Honest. Explained everything so I could make an informed decision. I highly recommend.

Jessica

There aren't enough positive things I can say about Affordable Auto and Truck Repair and Sunny. I think people often dread going to get their car fixed because they're afraid of getting ripped off. Affordable Auto is truly that - affordable. The pricing is fair and the experience takes a lot of stress off an already stressful situation like having a broken down vehicle. I even received follow up messages to confirm everything was running as it should. This experience is nothing like any experience I've ever had or heard of from other mechanics.

Rachel Purtz

Kevin and crew are great.

Lucas Slade

Top Notch Mechanics at this shop. The Best in town. Courteous, friendly, & affordable! Come here if you want the repairs done right and fast, with great prices! ??????

Lovely Jess

I echo all the great reviews. I am new to area and live in New Port Richey. I had no idea where to go until I read the reviews for Affordable Auto. And it is hands down worth the short drive. Sunny, Kevin and techs are the best!l.

Jane Dean

I feel very grateful for the work done by Affordable Auto in Clearwater. My car had to be towed to my hotel from an art fair I was in on a Sunday night. Affordable Auto then towed my car from the hotel to repair early Monday morning. The work was done that day & I was able to drive safely back to the Chicago area the next day. They were very kind and very helpful with the cost. They even followed up with me to make sure all was well ??

Stephanie Tantillo

Good job on my brakes!

Ambrel Dunstan

Place dosen't except checks but are very nice.

bob

I had a great experience! I was a first time customer who found this place from their amazing yelp reviews, upon receiving a free quote, I was proven right. Sunny and the guys went above and beyond to effectively explain to me the issues and gave me a fantastic price. I will definitely be back for any car related issue.

Kelly Willis

Fast service, excellent customer service and the price was great!!! I use my vehicle as a work tool, having it out of service is detrimental to our companies bottom line! Affordable Auto turnaround time salvaged my day. Thank you for the great service!!!

Thomas Plante

Brought my F250 in for a tune up. They did a great job and had it done fairly quick. Drop off pick up same day. I got a message from one of the guys there making sure everything was okay. Good to see that this place checks up on customers! I will for sure be back soon. Thanks guys!

Pablo Seda

They are always friendly, and get my truck in and out in a short amount of time. Also, the prices are very good. I recommend it to anyone.

Joseph Pike

The place is honest and nice to deal with. I love the dogs on site too! Very friendly.

Chris Short

I looked up this shop online. I was looking to replace my alternator on my MDX. The shop was close to work and the reviews were predominantly positive so i hit the get a quote button in google. Sunny responded to me within minutes. The price was very good and my service was completed the next day. I have to attest that this was a great experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I was kept informed throughout the process. I will be back

Richard Renaud

Great service and very reasonable.

Alison Bissell

Always helpful and good service tech's.

Echo the Bot

I absolutely love this shop! Everyone there is friendly and thoroughly explains the issues that are wrong with your vehicle. They are extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Prices are very reasonable! I've had my vehicle taken to three different mechanics and no one seemed to know what was wrong with my car. After an hour of my car being here at this location, Sunny called me and explained exactly what was wrong! Their mechanics are top notch and work in a timely manner. I will continue to come to this shop if I need any work done to my car. Kudos to you guys for being so awesome!

Dasha Warren

Great service good price sunny is the best

Manny Rosario

Paul Kornoelje

OMG what a great shop. I've never had such good service in all my days

Angie Garza

They always take excellent care of our service vehicles.

NuBath Florida

Jannie Harris

I'm new to the Tampa Bay area and I need an automotive shop I can trust. Plus, as a pretty darned good "shade tree mechanic" myself, I know when I'm being bamboozled. But I couldn't be happier with my experience with Affordable Auto and Truck Repair (a.k.a.: "Peterson Auto & Truck")! I recently purchased a used car and I wanted a bumper-to-bumper assessment of what-all it might need in the near term. They did me right. They provided me with a list, in priority order, of what the car needed "now" and what it may need in the future. Each job was clearly explained and an estimated cost for each job was included. Most of the things on the list were things I'd already made note of; a couple were new news to me, but when I checked for myself I confirmed the need. And, best of all, there weren't any bogus things on the list. Everything was accurate and nothing unnecessary was added to pump up the bill. After talking with them I've made an appointment to have the first couple of things taken care of so I'll have many miles of trouble-free driving ahead. (Oh, and they are "dog people." I'm a "dog person." We need to stick together! :-) )

Steve Sims

They are fantastic! Very professional and thorough. From Sunny in the office to the mechanics and all the way to the top to the owner, Kevin. They are like family and want to make sure your vehicle is safe and won't give you any trouble. I've moved away and would give my left arm (since I'm not right-handed) to find a comparable shop somewhere near my new location.

Joy Phelps

I've never had such a positive experience with an auto shop. The customer service was top notch. The staff are all incredibly friendly and they made me feel very welcome. The quality and speed of the work was 2nd to none. I highly recommend this shop to anyone.

Rachel Santos

I needed some help checking out my truck. The team at Petersons auto and truck were able to get my truck in without delay. Pricing was fair, service was excellent. I'll be coming back for all my auto repair needs. Highly recommend Petersons auto repair services. Great local business team, Thanks guys.

Don York

I'm new to the Tampa Bay area and I need an automotive shop I can trust. Plus, as a pretty darned good "share tree mechanic" myself, I know when I'm being bamboozled. But I couldn't be happier with my experience with Peterson Auto & Truck! I recently purchased a used car and I wanted a bumper-to-bumper assessment of what-all it might need in the near term. Peterson did me right. They provided me with a list, in priority order, of what the car needed "now" and what it may need in the future.

Steve Sims

We found out about this place from a community event held on Halloween last year, they've given us great service for a fair price. Would definitely recommend them!

Jordan Morris

Excellent service and exceptional staff. They are by far the best automotive service I ever have experienced.

Kate Tizzle

Great service and knowledgeable mechanics. Identified the problem with my truck and had it fixed and back to me within a few hours. I plan on taking my vehicle back for any future service.

Mike Mattox

These guys are the most honest mechanics I've been to in a long time! My check engine light (and my IMA light) was on. They could have sold me a new $900 hybrid battery and I wouldn't have been the wiser. Instead, they explained that I could take it back to the dealer for a free system refresh. Peterson Auto has been my mechanic ever since I moved here and I won't take my vehicle anywhere else!!!

Andi Luedeman

How rare is it to find an honest mechanic! He could have taken an extra hundred towards repairs and we never would have known. Saved us money and I cannot think of a mechanic shop before that when I left I left knowing the job was done right and I did not get taken. Highly recommend

David Rosengrant

I needed to get a new timing belt for my car because it was 60,000 over the recommended mileage. Let's be honest...it was only a matter of time before it broke. After doing some research in the area (I just moved from out of state), I had called 13 different auto repair places to get estimates on how much it will cost to fix. Peterson's was the lowest, best reviewed, and had a 2 year warranty with their service!! Deal! The estimates were anywhere from $550-$1000+ . When I called for the estimate and to make the appointment they were so nice and polite on the phone and could get me in the next day! I was shocked. Dropped my car off in the morning and they had it ready by the end of the day! Super quick, friendly, and they have adorable pups in the waiting area that are so sweet! I felt comfortable chatting while waiting for my uber and knew my car was gonna be in good hands! All in all, I got a new timing belt and water pump for $550, same day service, and they followed up the following days to see how my car was doing! I would highly recommend Peterson Auto & Truck to anyone! They will be my go to auto repair shop!

Jillian Clark

These people were lifesavers. My truck wouldn't start and they came to the rescue. They ordered a tow truck to pick my truck up and take it to their garage. When I found out I needed a new starter and it had to be ordered, they actually took me back to my house and then picked me up the next day when my truck was fixed. Thanks to Sunny and the crew for helping me out and doing a great job.

Mary Shaffer

Great service! Kevin is great and explains all your options thoroughly. I've been a customer for close to 10 years.

Alison Bissell

AAA towed our Lexus 400h to Peterson?s when our car overheated on a Saturday afternoon on I-275 heading home to Gainesville. They ordered a new radiator and installed it on Sunday morning. Kevin was very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. He worked on his precious Sunday to get us on our way home. We are so grateful for his assistance.

Lorie L. Primosch

I've been taking my vehicles to Peterson Auto for over 10 years. Through different management changes and owners their service has remained top notch and friendly. They are always honest and never try to sell me services that aren't really needed and will advise me on when certain failing parts should be replaced. It's terrific to have a locally owned, neighborhood auto shop to build a relationship with.

Tim Robinson

Honest, reliable, fair & accommodating...they're always willing to work with you & go out of the way to treat their customers well. Tell them what you need and Kevin will make it happen. So highly recommended, I'll never go anywhere else.

Erin Mitchell

Had to have my wifes car towed to Petersons Affordable Auto to replace the battery ( honestly, who puts a battery in the wheelwell?) Ordered the battery and had it in under an hour. Fast and reliable, no hidden charges and Kevin went over everything they did. My apologies to the Service Tech that had to wrestle with the battery. All in all great service, Thanks.

Pinellas Danns

Awesome service! So thankful for the owner who helped me this morning. Thank you!!

Catherine N.

My husband and I took our f150 truck to Affordable auto and had the engine replaced. We went solely on reputation and reviews and were very glad we found them. We were so pleased with the quality and the price of the work. The staff is great, very friendly and most importantly very knowledgeable. We will continue to take our cars and trucks to affordable auto as well as recommend them to our family and friends.

Rox G.

Absolutely satisfied (after so many disappointing experiences ) finally it feels just the right place I need for my car needs thanks Sunny !

Cristina B.

They did our repair quickly. The cost was just fine! Great workmanship!

Phillip S.

Quality work at a great price!! Had a leveling kit installed on my 2019 Ram. Couldn't be happier with the work done and the owner is very nice and professional. Would definitely return as a customer.

Ricky D.

Excellent customer service. Very friendly and honest.

Rick C.

Honest and reliable. Every time I bring my car there I never feel like I'm being sold something I don't need. They tell me exactly what's going on. I would not bring my car anywhere else!

Bruce D.

Great guys. Gave us a free diagnostic/inspection, and catered to our needs when we were picking up the vehicle after-hours. Really nice too. Come check out their doberman!

Tyler m.

Kevin, Owner and Jeff, Technician offer first rate customer service and repair expertise at very reasonable rates. They have repaired my vehicles several times throughout the years and always go the extra mile to accommodate my schedule and repair needs. Absolutely The Best!

B. D.

Man this guy was GREAT!!!! I mean that in every sense of the word. He gave great advice and does awesome work. I had a starting problem with a 96 Honda Accord and he took care of it with no problems. He definitely reminds me of the ole' school auto shops who weren't all about the money. They were all about the customer. And this guy shows that. I'm new to Florida and I've looked into a few other auto repair shops. Well this shop takes the cake. Even hooked me up with a towing company. All work on ALL of my cars not done by me will definitely be done by him. Strong Work!!!
