Had a water pump failure on I75 nearby. Joe is a AAA affiliated shop so I went with him after getting AAA tow truck. Damn good choice, too, because it was on a Friday at 4pm when I arrived to his shop… which closes at 6. I was asking for a miracle and TAS delivered. He found a replacement pump nearby, installed it, tested it, and sent me out the door with no worries by 6:06pm when the bay doors were being closed. Highly recommend this shop.

My check engine light came on so I stopped in and met Joe, I dropped it off to him and got it back 2 days later in better shape than I left it. He covered everything with me and let me know what I’ll need to do next to keep it running smoothly. Great service, and I love using local businesses when spending my money.
Desmond Hall
Fastest Starter Replacement Ever on My Truck! I cannot recommend Total Automotive highly enough! Dealing with unexpected car trouble is always frustrating, but Joe the team here turned a major headache into a smooth, stress-free experience. My heavy-duty truck, the Q56, completely died because the starter went out. I was bracing myself for a few days of being without my vehicle, but Total Automotive was absolutely exceptional. They diagnosed the problem and handled the repair in no time flat. Their efficiency and professionalism were truly outstanding, and they got my truck back to me much faster than any other shop would have. The speed and quality of the repair saved me a ton of hassle and minimized my downtime completely. If you need fast, reliable, and professional service, especially for critical repairs like a starter, look no further than Total Automotive. Five stars all the way! Thanks Joe.

I took my Miata in to have a downstream O2 sensor replaced. It was done in one day’s time costing less than originally estimated. Final cost to me was over $120 less than what was quoted at another shop. I fully intend to keep using this shop in the future.

I brought my 2014 Jeep Wrangler to TAS last year and got repairs completed with fast, friendly service and significantly cheaper than what I was quoted at another shop. I brought my 2018 BMW in last week for routine maintenance and received the same fast, friendly service. I really like these guys and highly recommend them.

Walter Guilarte
After obtaining a high dealer estimate I went to TOTAL AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES in Ruskin to service an engine oil leak and warning lights on our beloved 2014 Honda Accord V6. Joe Murray – the manager and mechanical analyst – was thorough. His diagnosis and repair plan was precise. His cost estimate was competitive and well below the dealer quote. The only negative was the delays caused by their limited shop space – they only have 4 car lifts. I strongly recommend this shop!

Absolutely the BEST SERVICE I have ever had!!! “service engine” light on..stopped here for help and it turns out that was just the begining. This is our Florida car..and hadn’t been driven since last year. I was kept up on each issue that popped up. Everything was taken care of and I had the car returned the next day!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!

My husband and I just moved here from St Pete and we needed a new tire shop. Literally five seconds down the road was this gem. I called to see if they have my tires in stock as I needed all four replaced. He was honest prompt, and professional on the phone so I took a lunch break to drop my car off gave him my key and he literally had it done in the same day and they were very packed. So to have that level of turnaround is amazing and I will always be a customer. Also, my tires look great. They work great. My car is in perfect shape. Thanks guys!
Karen DiBona
I have a 2003 Toyota Camry. This week I took it to total automotive for battery and, alternator and they went over the rest of the car. It needed several fluid flushers. It feels like a new car! Treated great from telephone call to expert car care. I’ve been a customer for ten years and have been very happy with their work.
Deb Matthews
I’ve been taking my car to TAS for about 3 years. The service is excellent. Joe and Hugo are so nice and take the time to thoroughly explain everything. This time they caught a major issue with the wheel bearings and took care of them. I’m so thankful they caught it as we are planning to take a long road trip to see my dad. They gave me discounts too. I can’t thank them enough.
Gerard Chandonnet
Brought my 2011 car for the AC knew the problem and repaired. Was out of there by 11:30 completely satisfied. I have been doing business fwith him for 7 years ever since I went to the dealer and a price quote that’s was twice the amount he charged. He fair, friendly and most importantwill not sell you anything you don’t need. I have 2 cars and even had my granddaughter use his services A great mechanic good employees and will listen to your problems.
