My wife and I brought our car to Richard's about 7 months ago because it was having minor problems. After over $1,200 of work it was running worse than ever. They replaced the timing belt but not the serpentine belt, so two days later the serpentine belt cracked, and then the belt tensioner broke, and then a few days after that the car started overheating and it was back to the shop. They took advantage of our lack of knowledge about cars and when we tried to ask questions to better understand the repairs they were rude and told us to "just buy a better car if we didn't like it." The last repair they did for us was replacing the alternator in April. Which leads us to today, November 7th. That alternator died today. When I called Richard's to ask about a possible warranty they told me that "their computers don't store that type of information" and hung up. I know other people have had good experiences here but ours was a month-long nightmare that made my wife and I burn through all of our triple A tows and most of our money! I understand that cars can have problems but if you want to be treated with respect and honesty I highly recommend you avoid Richard's like the plague. The shop we now go to is called Bay Area Automotive and it's incredible. Even though I live two blocks from Richards I'll never be back, unless I really hate a car and want it to die a slow, painful death.

I love these guys. They are consistent and honestly the last of a dying breed in terms of honest, affordable, and just all-around decent people/mechanics. A few months back, I stopped by to have a tail light replaced. They quickly change the bulb and didn’t charge me a dime . Shortly after, the battery and starter on my car went out and they replaced my starter in one day at an affordable price. A few months later I made the mistake of taking my car to another mechanic for a tail light bulb that needed replacing. They charged me $10 and the lightbulb never worked. They told me I needed to have my fuse replaced and what should have been one Quiktrip turned into three as I was given the roundabout about why they could fix it . So I took it back to Richard’s’s for a second opinion and they found that the other Mechanic had put my light in completely wrong. With a quick adjustment my light and full panel has been working. And again they were planning on charging me a dime. I made sure to tip them. This is truly a gem in Tampa. Also shameless plug, they are looking for a new technician so if anyone is interested this is an amazing place to work with good people that will help take care of you.

The check engine light came on in my van, Pep Boys diagnosed it as the battery so we got a new one. A week later the light was back, so back to Pep Boys. Now they say it's the alternator, so we say fix it. However, they say our van is old with high mileage and we should really do another 100k tune up and they'll cut us a deal on the labor charge. The van is an '07 with 180k, it had never given us any problems before this but we, figured better safe than sorry. We were sorry, we came to pick it up and Pep Boys had practically doubled the price of parts saying they had to special order and get them from the Kia dealer across town because of the year and make of my Sedona. I barely got down the street when I smelled burning oil. When I got home I popped the hood, oil was all over everything from where Pep Boys had left the oil cap off. When they fixed it, they said they found a leak in my head gasket. After spending over $1k, I realized they were ripping me off. The tow truck driver recommended Richard's. Thank God, Richard and his guys really do give Quality Auto Service, they fixed my van for a fourth of the price. He is also so honest that when there was a code that required the

Quick points about Rich Auto Service Will not call you about your car, to tell you what can and can not be done.( by his team) Quick to take your money ( quote me 3 different prices) First on Phone, different one in person and by the time he fix my car it was another price. ( shacking my head) If his team can't fix your car, but beware he will fix something close to what you talked about earlier but without consulting you first. ( greedy for the money) I will say that I agree with the previous person that commented that he will tell you to buy a new car, cause he can't fix yours. He scribble the prices on paper so you can't read them, even when you tell him to rewrite so you can understand ( you still won't) "Hello, it's 2015 they did create computer for a reason" Will take advantage of you, when you don't know about cars (damn shame) My experience was a learning one, always do your own research on anyone's company (told him someone said that he did a good job on their car), yes their car, but not mine. My car sounds different now, since his team touched it. Over all I would not take my service to this man business ever again "hope he enjoyed the money he stole from me"

BEWARE!!! Do not go here!!!! Have been going here for a year and half for oil changes to find out they have never changed it! Not only am I ticked off something very costly could of happened if I haven't caught it but I've paid $76 every time I've gotten it done. I was warned by a friend that she had the same issue right before I picked my car up, so It was a little to late for me to take it somewhere else. when I picked my vehicle up Richard cashed me out and I asked him are you certain the oil change was done and oil filter was changed (that cost more than normal because he said it was a rare filter) and I explained to him that my friend had to get $1,200 in repairs done on her car due to damages Of richards not changing her oil and filter in over 2 years. Richard was quick to get an attitude with me and said that the other shop was lying to my friend. I also had asked him if I could have my old filter and he said by now it was probably buried in the trash. I am extremely disappointed in this shop and the fact I have referred others here for its convenience.

I've been to Richard's three times now. The prices were very reasonable, the work done was of perfect quality, my car was finished in a few hours, and the customer service was excellent. Never once did he try to sell me anything I didn't ask for, the price quoted was exactly the price I paid, and the car was returned clean. He is so extremely knowledgeable that he knew exact specifications over the phone based on my car make and model, and used those to give exact quotes, including tax! He was even kind enough to let me pick up my car late! Most recently, I took my car in to fix the A/C that hasn't worked in years, despite taking it multiple times to other mechanics. I thought it was unfixable, but now it works perfectly! Really, I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is a dream come true. I have had my A/C wiring and fan fixed, brakes changed, a full service oil & lube change, and a wheel alignment. I know I will be returning in the future for everything else I need.

I paid Frank Blankenship III to do a headgasket on my car and five weeks after taking it apart he came to finish it. He showed up late then wanted to go to Walmart to get food and drinks, who does that? There's store on every corner! After waisting and hour talking with his friend he disappeared with the guy for an hour lunch. At the end of the day he started rushing to finish, and wanting to leave. I asked him to stay because it was almost done and he said " Oh you just have to plug in some wires you can do that." He left and the car wouldn't start after the wires were plugged in, and oil was pouring out of the timing chain cover. We started looking and all the bolts on it were either loose or missing. Tightened them all, tried to start the car, it started for a second and died. He left the bolts to the cam sprockets loose so the car jumped time and destroyed the motor. Don't waist your time or money on this guy.

I have been going to Richard's for over ten years and have never received the treatment that I received today. I went into Richards shop to get a routine oil change and my services was turned down by Richard. I was told that there would be a two hour wait, and that there are three cars ahead of me. I stated that I would stay until my turn and was told from Richard that I couldn't stay. I will never go to this shop again. If you want good Quality service go to Auto Mall on Nebraska and Yukon. I was seen by friendly workers, my oil change was done with no lines no waiting, and I was not over charged. Richard made thousands of dollars off of me and this is the thanks I get a turn down...... You will miss my money Sir. And if you're reading this and say she's mad yes I am because I've paid plenty of this mans Bill's as a faithful customer. But I Richard's Quality Service ISN'T QUALITY AT ALLL.....

I received recall work and an oil change from Stadium Toyota last week. They gave me a list of things that I needed to attend to in the near future. One of these included brakes, and they told me my front brakes were in the red zone (2 mm) and needed to be replaced. The back ones were in the yellow zone (5 mm), and should be replaced. They quoted me $202 for the brake job. I took my car to Richard's this morning to have the brakes replaced. I get a call, and they tell me the brake pads are at 50% and do not need to be replaced. They did not charge me for putting my car up on the lift and looking at my brakes. Though I didn't receive service at this time, you can be sure I will be taking my car back there in the future. Even if I had needed the brakes, they would have saved me half compared to the dealer. Plus they are honest, where apparently the dealer was not.

I took the time to read the reviews this morning for Richard's only because I could not believe he did not have a 5 star rating. After reading the reviews I have this to say. I have been taking my vehicles to Richards for years. None of my auto's are new, as a matter of fact, my autos are all 1999's . All of my auto's are in excellent condition, (only due to the fact that I have taken them to Richards) for any and all repairs and maintenance. I have never been treated badly or rudely, as a matter of fact any and all questions I have ever had have been answered with being shown physically on my vehicle what was done or needed to be done, ( in detail). I would recommend Richard's to anyone that wants their auto fixed correctly. My suggestion would be get there early, they are very busy, I am sure that is because they are the best at what they do.

Richard's Automotive saved our day! The day before we were to go back to Nebraska from Tampa we awoke to a dead battery! Called AAA and they came out and jumped it but said it wasn't holding a charge and that he thought it was the alternator. We called a place but they were not going to get us into until the next day. (the day we planned on leaving). I quickly called Richard's and he said they could have a new alternator in by 3:00 the same day! Yeah! We had it towed there and in a hour or so got a call saying they couldn't find anything wrong with the alternator just the battery. They installed a new one and had someone come to our Air B&B and give me a ride to the shop to pick up our vehicle! We can't thank Richard's enough for their honesty and great customer service!

Richard is about the only fair and honest mechanic in town. I just had them work on air conditioning evaporator coil. The price was unbeatable, and the mechanics was very knowledgeable. He had to pretty much disassemble the the dash and steering column to get to the problem, then reassemble like a giant puzzle after the problem was fixed. The next day I realized I had an issue with a side panel not fitting correctly. I gave a call, then Richard told me to come in when I had an opportunity. When I got there, I was seen right away by the mechanic that worked on my car. He immediately apologized for not having it set correctly, and fixed the problem within five minutes. With any problem that you may have, big or small, I would strongly suggest giving Richard's a shot.

Very satisfied with the service and quality of my repair. My truck is a 2016 RAM 2500 and overheated, breaking down nearby. I brought it to Richard’s Quality Automotive out of convenience and was hoping to get it repaired at a fair price. I couldn’t be more pleased. I called the dealership I purchased the truck from and the price was 3 times the price I was quoted at Richard’s. Not only did they repair it, they were able to do some other troubleshooting of another issue and took care of it as well. They explained the repair and showed me the old damaged parts. Tom even stayed open late so I could pick up my truck after my wife got off work. Grateful for their honesty, quality work and a fair price. I will be bringing them all my family’s vehicles from here on out.

Cannot recommend Richard's enough. I came here to get some brake work done on my Jeep after reading several positive reviews. Turns out, I had severe rust issues that previous mechanics neglected to tell me about. Kevin brought me under the vehicle and walked me through the damage, explaining the severity and the risks of driving my vehicle in this state. They recommended not getting the brakes done and encouraged me to find a new vehicle. If I hadn't gone here, I could've gotten into serious trouble. After all this, they didn't even charge me. I look forward to bringing my new vehicle into Richard's. Honesty & integrity is clearly hard to find in a mechanic, but Richard's is doing everything right.

I have been a customer of Richards for 5 years. At no point was he or his staff dishonest of misrepresenting the costs of a repair. I have 4 older cars and I will never go anywhere other than Richards. Best prices in Tampa and an awesome, honest man. On a few occasions, once his staff has evaluated repairs needed he has told me not to worry about this or that and not to get the repair done if he deemed it unnecessary. Try and find a mechanic that is that honest. You won't, trust me. If I could give him and his staff 10 stars I would. Thank you Richard for always being honest and helping me and my family out when we need service on one of our cars. You guys are the best!

We've taken our daughter's SUV to Richard's for service on several occasions and have been pleased with the service each time. He always explains things well and will give you the pro's and con's of alternative treatment options, if available. That bespeaks honesty and integrity. Quite frankly, I don't trust chain shops or dealerships because they are under tremendous pressure from corporate to meet profit quotas, so they try to "find" stuff you don't need and are always trying to upsell you on items like tires. I always take my cars to indy's like Richard's; it has been my experience that your chances of getting a straight and honest transaction are better.

Richard is one if the most honest people you'll ever meet. This is the place you can send your wife, daughter, mother and not worry about them getting ripped off. Some places try to make extra money by selling you stuff you don't need, these guys know that by doing you right your repeat business and word of mouth will make them more in the long run. I had a buddy who told me a mechanic told him he needed thousands in front end repair, I asked Richard about it and his reply was "did he drive off a cliff". He brought the car to Richard's and only needed a CV joint. Great place, honest people, and they won't sit on your car for weeks either!

I had been going to Richard's Auto for over two years to get oil changes on my household's two vehicles - never had a problem till now. Richard's was to work on my 99 Camry's throttle and while checking and cleaning it the air in-take hose was broken. Not only did Richard's not inform me of the damage - when I discovered the problem and took it back they refused to take ownership of the problem and would not help me by correcting the broken part. Congrats Richard's you lost a customer for life over a mistake and a $30 part that your guys broke. Good job - keep it up, I'm sure in this economy running off customers is a good business model

Professional, abundantly competent, courteous, and UNBEATABLE price value! I interacted personally with three of their personnel and they were all extremely competent, courteous and professional. They quickly diagnosed my problem and gave me several options for resolving the issue. They went above and beyond by noticing my door panel was loose and fixed that, too, at no charge. In the end, they did more for my car at 1/4th of the quoted cost of any other repair shop. I live in Lakeland now but would DEFINITELY get up at 5 am just to get my car there 2 hours before they open ANYTIME.

I’ve used Richard’s for years and he always does good work at decent prices. But I was very disappointed when I went in last week and he was not wearing a mask, nor were any of his workers. This shows an insensitivity to the health of his customers. He also was violating the Hillsborough County mask ordinance that all businesses and their employees wear masks and that they urge their customers do the same. After I left I wished I had said something, but I guess I was in a hurry and didn’t want to stir up trouble. I’m not sure if I will use them again.

Richard is kind, honest and hard-working! He always fixes my car in a timely fashion, his rates are very reasonable and his crew has been with him for a long, that says a lot! I once brought my car to him with a broken A/C, was prepared to pay hundreds of dollars for the repair. Told Richard whatever cost just let me know. it turned out to be $135 belt he could have charged me hundreds of $$$$ and I would not have known the difference. It's hard to find an honest that stands behind his work. I don't know what I'll do if Richard ever retires!!!

Richard is a very honest mechanic! Out of all the mechanics he is the only one I trust! My recent experience I had to get my rear timing belt tensioner replaced on my 05 Nissan Altima which is really costly! Richard went into detail of everything. As a woman I only know little about cars and Richard broke it down and I understood everything! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! THE only thing is bring your car EARLY. IT IS ALWAYS BUSY HERE ! WHICH IS A GREAT THING ! Mr RICHARD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU ! THANKS A LOT Mr.RICHARD

I came in at 8am to find out what’s wrong with my 23 year old Honda accord and within an hour they called me and quoted me for my repair, turns out I needed a whole new radiator. They fixed it on the same day and for an amazing price, which was nice because I’m a poor college student in tampa. I’ve been to a lot of other car shops and this has by far been the best experience I’ve had, no scams, no tricks, super nice and straight forward people. I will definitely come back again for any future services!

One of the most honest, friendly and welcoming people. My turn signal lights were not working. I checked the fuse and found it good so went to them. They fixed it and explained me how my car has 2 fuses in series for turn light. 2nd one combines with hazard lights. Very rarely I see mechanics explain these things. Further, they didn't charge for the service and even refused to take tip. I would highly recommend them for their honesty, friendly and great service.

A heavy word for Richard's: HONEST.. Nowadays you can't find honest mechanics. I love how they work, how they don't over charge and how they explain the car issues to you in a detail manner. Others try to scare you into "fixing" things they don't even need to be fixed, and tell you a price over the phone and when you get there, they change it. Us ladies don't need crook mechanics like that, we need mechanics like Richard's. They are WORTHIT.

I came here on a recommendation from a coworker after a local dealership found something "wrong" with my vehicle during a routine oil change. Brought my car here for a second opinion and they saved me $1500!! I love that there are still honest mechanics out there who don't try to take advantage of women customers. Tom and everyone else here were so nice to me. Will be a customer here for life! Highly recommend

Working with Tom was super easy. My normal mechanic happened to be out of commission and I got a recommendation to visit Tom at this shop. A quick call to describe my problem later and Tom and his team had my issue looked at, diagnosed, and advised within half a day. Great, honest advice on the value of repairs vs the overall cost of the car (an '08 Escape). Would recommend 8 out of 7 days of the week.

Excellent service!! Honest all around. I had a problem with my Honda Odyssey that I had been told was going to be hundreds of dollars. I went to see him because he was referred to me. Not only did his crew took the time to check it, they showed me what it was and it turns out it was only a couple of hundred dollar repair and not what I had been told from another shop. He got a customer for life now!!

This place is probably the only car mechanic ive ever been to that is reasonable and timely. I have been going to these guys for about 4-5 years now with my 07 Hyundai and they always do a great job. Always return my car within a day at most, usually within hours! They never over charge or pressure you into any unnecessary adjustments. Best guys to go to in Tampa Bay! Thank you Richard’s Auto team!

I can't say enough positive comments about Richard's. Tom was amazing: he was friendly, cordial, and more than reasonable in pricing! I HIGHLY recommend this automotive shop! I bought in my 2016 Chevy Malibu to have new tires installed, balanced, and aligned and left paying less than I was quoted! Tom truly is an angel and I'm grateful to have patronized his business. May God bless his socks off!!!

I can only mirror the wonderful things said about this place, the owner, Richard, and the mechanics - great work, very knowledgeable mechanics, super - not discount - prices. (You pay discount prices to get discount work.) Richard stands behind his mechanics' work. I've known him for more than 10 years, taken my mom's auto to him, and referred many others...not yet have any of us been disappointed!

Before they were going to service my car I was explaining to him to just be careful when he puts it in reverse and he automatically was telling me Oh no he doesn't want to deal with it since he has to be careful and I just didn't understand what was so wrong with what I was trying to explain to him. A lot of people like him because they know him personally but I just had a bad experience

These guys are by far the best fair priced most honest mechanics I’ve ever gone to in my life… I was quoted 50 percent more at tires plus and they were a week out…. Tom got me in the very next day and had my ac working better than it ever has the next day… they don’t shortcut their work and they do it correctly… even the mechanics were super friendly… definitely a “breathe of fresh air”

Highly recommend this place. I had my car serviced here a few days ago. The guys were super helpful and informative over the phone, before my car even arrived. They worked quickly to have my car finished before the end of the day and their price was extremely reasonable. They will not rip you off and are very honest. I’ll definitely be taking my car back here in the future!

In this day and age it can be tough to find a mechanic you really trust. Well ladies and gentlemen of Tampa Bay look no further than Richard’s. Integrity is second to none. Quality of service is outstanding. I truly could not recommend this place highly enough. Stop by next time you need any work done on your car and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Thank you Richard.

I have taken 2 of my vehicles to them. They are honest and reasonable. I took my truck last week week to get a new battery They replaced the battery and told me I needed a alternater so I took it to Richard's and all I needed was battery terminals. The battery was probably ok . Wish I would have taken it to Richard's first. Instead of $600.00 it was $100.00.

We have been going to Richard for 12 years. You can believe what he tells you. He knows cars.. Always has time to fit us in. Has helped with our kids cars as well as 4 of ours. We wouldn't use anyone else. Parking and getting into and out of his location is the only problem. Wish he were closer, but with this kind of service and experience we will never change.

4 years ago - Me: "Richard’s QUALITY auto service, is as good as it gets here in Tampa. The staff is honorable with prices and the work they do on your car. What a stand up staff, a great energy resides at this shop. If you want the best work COME HERE." 4/11/2023 - Google: "Your Review reached 1,000 views." Me: "The force is STRONG w/ you and your staff!"

Very kind and honest establishment. I hate taking my vehicle to the shop because due to fear of greedy service mechanics. My power windows stopped working, I took my car to the shop in the morning and they had it ready so quick. Even shopped around to get me the best price on the part I needed. This is the place to go for quality and quick service!!

This is by far, the BEST Auto Shop in Tampa! Tom & his guys did an evaluation of a "new" car. He not only got it done same day he gave me a great quote for the work it needs. I've already scheduled the tires, next is the minor list of repairs he suggested it needs to be roadworthy. I can always count on Tom at Richard's Auto. Thanks Guys

Highly recommend Richard's Automative Services when it comes to all your vehicle servicing needs. Prices are reasonable and won't break the bank. Great team and techs to get your car fixed without long wait times. Lower prices mean more referrals and the care they have for the community. Plus it's always great to support a local business.

Out of the 100 shops in the area, this will always be in the mid 50% range in customer service. Prices are good for auto repairs, customer service is average but the location failed terribly on 2 separate phone shops. My rating is 59 out of 100 for this shop *Shop rating is based on: Online Reviews, Reputation, Recent Shopped Phone Calls.

Best mechanics! I've had nothing but great experiences here, from maintenance to minor and major repairs. Free estimates are so appreciated, and advice as to urgency of repairs as well. Twice they have made sure a costly repair was avoided in the future by replacing a part while accessible for the repair being made.

My sister and her husband recommended Richard's as they have been using him for years. Started with an oil change and progressed to having minor repairs. He is very honest which one cannot find now a days. He will only repair what truly needs repaired. You can count on him to do a great job for a very fair price.

Got estimates for $600, Richard told us we could wait and just spend $160 and did it same day! Have had multiple friends say they were presented w the honest truth. Richard's is so popular they don't need to be shady... Their reputation is worth maintaining! Get there early as it's first come fist served.

You will not find a more honest and hard-working mechanic shop than Richard's, especially at his low prices! I've been using this shop for years and can only say great things, never had a complaint from anyone I've sent there. My only complaint is that they're so good the parking lot is almost always full

Richards was highly recommended to me by multiple people in the neighborhood and I decided to go with them after fire stone told me I needed an $850 repair after already spending 450 on a replacement starter. Richards fixed the problem for 65 bucks and had me in and out in no time. Highly recommended!

Richard's is the best! Super professtional and reasonably priced, they are truly so awesome and make you feel so comfortable. Everyone I have interacted with there has been kind, professional and easy to work with. 10/10 I will be returning to Richards for any of my car repair needs in the future!

I would like to say how pleased I am with this shop! I came in early this morning stressed out about my vehicle and they gave me the best choice. They could have told me different a very pricey different but there legit honest mechanics and the definitely have gained me as a customer and family!

I haven't even gotten my truck back yet and im impressed. I was sold a part i thought was new and it turns out it was used. Richard called the shop for me and even had someone in his shop go replace the part for me. Ive had alot of car troubles recently and no one has offered service like that!

I don't take my car anywhere else. Richard's is the only place I trust. They are honest and charge a fair price. I'm even willing to wait for an oil change because it is inexpensive for the full service treatment. I highly recommend if you need a repair you can use him as a second opinion.

Very fair pricing, high quality, fast, and just overall great service. I always dread dealing with any auto shop since I always feel like they take advantage of the fact that I'm a young woman with limited knowledge in the field, however they are very honest and aim to save you money.

The name says it all - quality. It's so hard to find a quality, fair priced auto shop but Richards is that and then some. I've had work done by them on a number of occasions and they are always straightforward and fair with no issues - pretty much everything you want in a shop.

These guys did an awesome job. Had tires, shocks, and a break job done. Super quick and cheaper than other places. Brought me out to see the damage and gave me options before being charged or starting the work. A great experience especially since auto issues are such a pain.

I have been taking my vehicles to Richards for the past 15 years. His oil change sign originally brought me in, but since that time he has done all of the mechanical work on the vehicles my family has owned. Honest, integrity, and good quality work are their best qualities.

I have travel from Seffner to go to Richard's for auto maintenance big and small. I know I save about $500 by getting my timing belt changed by NOT going to the dealership. My SUV runs much better after taking it to Richard and his Quality Staff.

Richard’s Quality Automotive Services doesn’t look like much from the road. But a referral is long overdue on my part. I have taken my car to another shop, and they quoted me about $2,000 in various repairs basically making it sound like my

Took my 2006 Cadillac CTS to Richard's Automotive after the dealer (Ed Morse) wanted over $2200.00 to fix an oil leak in the timing chain cover. Richard did the work for $655.00 and even replaced the two belts...he even used cadillac

Owner is totally unprofessional with no respect to me as a customer, a female senior citizen. He cursed me out with the with profanity because; I bought two tires instead of four. That was a few years ago and it still bothers me.

We were on vacation when our car broke down. He was very honest and helpful and saved us a lot of money. He went above and beyond to help us out and got it done in a few hours. Would definitely recommend them. Excellent service!!

Always a great deal and hundreds lower than the dealer. They're upfront and honest with what price and what they plan to do ahead of time. They get busy, so you should try getting there 1st thing in the morning, when they open.

Car was ready timely fashion. Owner will work with you for payment plan. Prices are average to normal. What you expect when you have over head. I just really like payment plan options because who has thousands to blow. Not me.

Richard is the best- straight shooter, won’t make you fix something just to line his own pocket. He tells it like it is and helps his customers decide whether a fix is really worth the expense depending on their needs.

Richard always takes good care of us! We have been over 5 times in the last year between both cars for a various reasons and have never been disappointed. Great value and great service. Will continue to recommend them.

Great service without the haggle! Great guys that make sure your vehicle is fixed right the first time. Very affordable and just great people. All of my vehicles have and will continue to go there when they need fixin!

Richard is straight forward, honest, fast and will save you every penny he can!! He doesn't try and get you to repair anything. He gives us quote. There is no sales job about it from him. U decide what u want to do.

I trust this place with my vehicles. I have been taking my vehicles here for repairs and I've known the previous owner Richard and the new owner Tom for over 20 years. They are honest and trustworthy. …

On my way to Tennessee 5 am. Truck pulling a 16 foot trailer. Break let loose on 75. Found my way there by 6 and waited till open at 7. Mechanic found e break broken. Back on road before 9. Reasonable......

I never leave reviews but these guys go above and beyond in every way. They are the most recommended shop in the area and I can see why. Thank you so much for providing superb prices and excellent service.

Get in between 7:00 & 7:15 AM to get your oil changed fast - all other services offered after 8 AM. Richard has fair pricing, great service & connections all around Tampa Bay to get you parts & tires!

I have been bringing my vehicles to Richard's for year's. He is by far most honest person in the auto repair industry and he prices the required repairs reasonably and the work is completed quickly.

I love Richard's I have been going here for 20+ years . I love the staff. Even though Richard retired the place has not changed. Staff still the same and still working to give you quality service.

The auto repair center is the best that I have found. They take great care of their customers and the prices are fantastic they do not try and rip you off i have found a new repair shop for my car

We've been taking our cars to Richard's for years. Honest, no-BS, experienced repair and maintenance at reasonable prices. They don't make appointments, so plan on arriving early to get in line.

Totally Awesome service. Richard is the most honest businessman I ever met. He is a man of true integrity, honesty and professionalism. I would highly recommend Richard's Quality Auto Service .

I would have never learned to fix cars if these guys were open on the weekends while i was in college. All that to say, they are the guys i go to when i don't want to deal with it myself.

Tom took good care of me at Richards Automotive. The quality and the speed were outstanding. And the most important part was that they saved me over 1600$ compared to the Kia dealership.

Richard’s Automotive replaced my wheel bearing for almost half the cost of two other shops that quoted me. I dropped my car off early and had same day service. Staff was super friendly.

Everyone in my neighborhood recommends using Richard's services for auto repair. They are trust-worthy, timely, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Richard's for your auto needs.

Great experience! Been using Richard and Tom for 12+ years , always honest and fair. Great central location too! Discounted towing deal not bad as well, if you need it.. Thanks guys!

This is the best Auto Shop in Tampa Bay. The Owner is very honest and tells you what is wrong with your car instead of trying to get your money. The place is clean, service is great.

He is the best mechanic in town. very respectable and does not cheat you and prices are reasonable and are lower than a lot of the other shops out there. Highly recommend.

I don't take my car anywhere else. If you want honest and trustworthy mechanics to work on your car with great prices, then you need to give Richards a try!

Great shop run by an honest guy. Which if you know anything about automotive shops that's the most important part. Won't take my car anywhere else period.

Honest & reliable. My family has been having their cars serviced here for many years. They offer a 24 month & 24k mile warranty with quality NAPA parts.

Great service checked our brakes and explained that the noises were from the vehicle sitting for a long time. No charge, very honest. Highly recommend

Thank you to Richards auto and Tom who handled everything, took my 2012 maxima for a high pressure power steering line replacement, so far so good

Friendly staff, Tom is great!!! Reminds me of a neighborhood mechanic that's treats you like family. Very honest people and they do good work!

VERY quick, friendly service. Whether it be an oil change or something major, they've got the tools to do it. Their expertise is outstanding.

I've been getting my car serviced there for over 10 years. Mr Richard and his guys are honest and the prices are extremely fair.

Great small shop. Honest shop and got a great deal on work that was 2x more expensive for basic maintenance from the dealership.

Best mechanic around, always been fair on price and work done properly. Been going here for years. Still great after many years.

Very reliable, great place for automotive repair. Honest and straightforward, reasonable price. Had my brakes done here.

Tom is the best and down to earth! Great running place and affordable prices. Best place to take your vehicle in Tampa!

Great service at a reasonable price. It is the only place I trust to keep my cars in top mechanical condition.

Very honest on what needs to be done and options. They won’t try and pressure you into unnecessary services.

Richard's is always professional and has very reasonable prices. Always honest and easy to work with.
