After one of our female employees took her car to Chris, it was very apparent Chris was honest about the repairs and very reasonably priced. I started taking my truck to Chris for various service, but the last time was my biggest repair to date. 3 of the 4 lines for my turbo charger were leaking, my water pump was broken, basically my truck was on its death bed.Thankfully, Chris was able to resurrect my dying truck. He not only replaced the many worn out parts but cleaned the engine and it looked almost brand new when I got back.Chris is very trust worthy and a good man. In my experience, that is very hard to find in auto mechanic. When you take your vehicle to Chris, you wont be disappointed.UPDATE: Chris has taken my truck in several times on very short notice and kept me running. I plan on keeping my truck for a long time and Chris is the only mechanic I will trust with my truck. From a simple oil change to my 4 x 4 conversion, Chris is my guy.

Ive been going to this shop for 20 years, Chris is as honest as they come. He has saved me thousands of dollars through out the years with his honesty snd integrity. The best shop period .

Chris is absolutely amazing! I will never go anywhere else!! If I could give him 100 stars I would! #1 in my book!

Been using this place for years. Honest, reasonable, good to work with. They go the extra mile to make sure the vehicle is working properly.

So glad I Countryside Automotive, Ive been looking for a shop I can trust and not get ripped off by high prices. Chris was awesome, very helpful and professional. The job was done right the first time and at a fair price. Thank you Chris, You have my future business.

Chris is an awesome guy, I have been using him for 30 years. He is very knowledgeable and honest. He works on all my fleet vehicles and my personal ones also. I have referred a ton of people to his shop and everyone is a happy camper. You wont be disappointed with your visit there .

Coming here for 10 years. Chris and JR are the best. They keep my 20 year old Eldorado going strong.

Friendly staff, always done in a timely matter and very reasonable pricing

I have been taking my Infiniti to Countryside Automotive since I purchased it used 2 years ago. Chris and Jr have been beyond amazing to my car and I! Used, older cars typically have issues and as you put more wear and year things come up. Countryside Automotive have always done an amazing job, in a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. Most recently had work done to it to prepare to sell it since I’ve upgraded vehicles. Happy to know has a lot of experience with BMWs! Makes me feel even better knowing I have a mechanic I can trust!! Thank you again

Great service and knowledgeable mechanics. Great to deal with. I only use this garage for service.

I’ve been going to Chris for years, reliable, honest work at reasonable prices

Chris and JR are two knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanics. They tell you exactly what your car needs and explain everything in detail from start to finish. Their prices are reasonable too! I have been using them for both my cars for the last five years and wouldn’t think of taking my cars anywhere else.

This automotive repair shop is #1 in my book. Superb service and the mechanics know what their doing. I never have to worry when I need my car repaired...I trust them with my life! Ive been going here for over 20 years. Very trustworthy in their prices too. Shop local!

I just want to say this place is by far the best car place I have been to yet! they are so helpful and truthful. I came in after being told by two other car places that I needed a new fuel pump ranging from 900-1600 and Chris and his team took their time with my car to determine that it was not a fuel pump but only a valve which cost me under 200.00. These people are genuine good people!!! not out just for the money but to make sure that their clients are well taken care of and make sure their clients come back. I highly recommend this place and will never bring my cars anywhere else. Thank you boys keep up the good work!!

Ive been going to Countryside Automotive for almost 30 years. Chris is very thorough and his prices are great . If you want an honest mechanic that knows what there doing, go to this shop.

Chris is the MAN!!!!I often refer friends and family because of not only the quality of work done, but Chris is just an all around honest genuine guy, funny and very personable . Always takes care of you and your cars needs. Thank you Chris!!!

If you are looking for a good an honest local mechanic look no further! I am beyond impressed at the service and honesty I received from these guys. I took my truck in expecting the worse and came out of it with a $400 repair that easily would have been $1000 right down the street. Chris is upfront and honest and will get you fixed right at a damned good price. Go here not that other place.

Chris and JR are such amazing guys! I have a 2016 BMW m235i and after a large rain storm, my neighborhood was flooded, and my car was hit by a wave of water from a passing car. My “drivetrain malfunction” light came on and there are many issues that can be associated with that alert so I didn’t know what it could be. I took my car to Chris and JR and they were complete experts at diagnosing a problem immediately and solving it by the end of the day.These guys are honest, efficient, and care about you and your car!

Ive been going here for as long I remember. This has been my family mechanic for all of our cars. Much cheaper than most car workshops. Chris and JR are great at what they do, friendly guys. 10/10 highly recommend. Dont waste your time going elsewhere

Professional, courteous, prompt, and reasonably priced service is all I have experienced from Countryside Automotive. Chris is thorough in explaining your specific car issue and honest in telling you what is required to fix it. Furthermore, Chris provides unmatched assurance with his communication by phone as he works on your vehicle and has experience on all makes and models. Chris and JR have been servicing my car since day one. A visit to this establishment is a must for anyone in need of outstanding car repair service!

I’m going to just pile on top of all these 5 star reviews and add mine as well. I can not say anything that others have not said already.Chris (owner) & JR (head honcho) are awesome. The words “honest” & “mechanic” are not usually in the same sentence but in this case these guys are the definition of just that. Good at what they do, honest & reasonably priced.***Thanks for everything you guys do & always taking care of me & my cars!***

Smart techs, fair prices, no unnecessary upsell.

Honest, quality work and professional. Not overpriced when it comes to labor. Chris has worked on all of my cars and trucks over the past 25 years. His shop is off the beaten path but worth the trip.

If youre looking for a great quality mechanic with top notch service thats reasonably priced go see Chris at Countryside Automotive. Hes been working on my familys cars for over 20 years and has always taken great care of us. Thank you, Chris!

I brought in my 2017 Mercedes Benz E300 for a Service B maintenance at 40,000 miles. Chris is as honest as they come and he knows Mercedes. I really looked around for the right mechanic for me as I was trying to avoid the dealership and their outrageous pricing. He showed me the discarded parts that he changed out (dust pollen filter, cabin filter, engine filter, brake fluid) and he used genuine Mercedes parts. His pricing was about 30% cheaper than what the dealership quoted me and very quick turn around. I dropped my car off around 10am and I picked it up by 1pm. Hes earned my family business and will bring my other cars for him to service. Thank you Chris!

They really are the Very Best!!!

Chris and J.R. have taken care of several of our vehicles over the years. Vehicles maintained have been our Corvette, Hummer H2, Toyota Tundra, Toyota 4Runner, Honda Prelude and Mercedes AMG. They always provide high quality service, complete explanation of all work required and completed; and last but not least, very fair pricing. I recommend Countryside Automotive for anyone serious about getting the job done right.

This place is amazing. Very good and honest mechanic. The price is right.

THE BEST AUTO REPAIR SHOP AROUND!!! I have been taking my vehicles to Countryside Automotive for 20 years and they are the best. Theyre extremely courteous and very honest and always go above and beyond for there customers. Chris the owner and JR his mechanic treat the cars as if they there own. I currently have a 2004 Corvette and a few days ago my shift cable broke when I put the car in park while a was at a light waiting to make a left turn. I had the car towed to Chris at night, dropped it outside there shop with the rears tires locked in park and no shift cable to put the car in neutral to push on to the lift. I called them the next day and these guys got under the car disconnected what they need to and got the car in on the lift and had to drop the exhaust and got my car fixed he sent me photos and I had my car back the following day. Also Chris always does what he can to save you some bucks. I send all my friends to him and they love these guys and so will you.

Chris is amazing - we go to him for all of our cars! Affordable and honest! Thank you Chris I wish I knew about google a while ago when we first started coming to you!

Great guys...known them for over 8 years ! I drive a 20 year old Volvo and theyve done many repairs for me. Im always happy with the service and the very fair prices.

The only auto repair shop Ill send my vehicles to! Chris the owner and JR his lead mechanic are tops in the game. They always look out for the customer, from suggestions on saving money to issues that may be coming down the road. If a repair is needed outside the normal maintenance service, they kindly save your used parts for inspection. Ive never seen that before and is a welcome step to trust in your mechanic. Dont hesitate to give Countryside Automotive a shot the next time your vehicle needs a little TLC!!

After reading many positive reviews on Countryside Automotive, I brought my car there. It was a very positive experience. Chris helped me from start to finish. I needed to replace my passenger mirror after hitting it and making it inoperable. He said he had a great paint guy and he was absolutely right. They saved me some money by installing an “after market” mirror with a completely professional paint job and install. It looks brand new. I’ll definitely be back for further repair work. The only thing I would mention is that they are tucked in the back of the complex at Columbia Plaza (in a building behind Rizzolis Pizza). It was a little confusing (maybe just me), but if you go in to the door marked R (their suite), youll find the office. :)

Chris and Jay are knowledgeable and professional! Very polite and friendly!!!! The BEST!!!!!

Best Auto Repair in the area. The only shop I could find with diagnostic equipment for my 1996 Mercedes SL600. The work was done properly on time, and for less than the quote. I would not go anywhere else.

These guys are awesome. Had a terrible experience at a competitor, then brought my car to these guys, and I could not be happier. Chris is super nice and kept me constantly updated on the progress of the repair. He broke down the cost of each part and explained why the labor would cost the (very reasonable) amount it did. I will never go anywhere else for car service.Edit: recently had another issue w/ my car, and another great experience here getting it fixed. Thanks Chris!

I have been coming to countryside automotive for 10 years! Chris has been so helpful. I find my car to be well taken care of. Chris and Jay have always been professional,skillful, and reasonable with repairs on my car. Im confident after I leave that the job is done right,and my car is safe. I have referred my family and friends and they also have been satisfied with superb service, at a reasonable price.

Chris is the best! He’s honest and reasonably priced. We have always counted on Chris to take care of our cars and he has never failed us.

Chris at Countryside Automotive has taken EXCELLENT care of my families vehicles for 25 + years. I cant recommend enough this family owned business. I have personally referred customers to Chris - many of whom have relied upon Countryside Automotive for over a decade. If you want great service look no further. Give Chris a call! Tom Hamilton CEO West Bay Media Group

Had a great experience with countryside automotive they fixed my problem and gave me the quoted price despite doing additional work. They did great work cannot recommend enough!

Chris was extremely helpful. He ran a computer scan on my car to determine why some dashboard lights were on. He explained everything to me and gave me a very fair price. My car was fixed the same day. Thank you!

Chris and Jr. have been servicing my vehicles and my Family’s vehicles since 2005. I absolutely trust them, bottom line NO BS. They will give you and honest answer concerning needed repairs and the cost will not break the bank, They have extensive experience with the Muscle Cars as well as the Newer BMW, Mercedes and others.

Chris and JR are the absolute best mechanics around Pinellas county. I was referred to them by a friend and have referred other friends here because I trust them. They are honest and fair. I have been going here 20 years

I needed a mechanic for the 1st time since moving here. Got lucky and found Chris solely based on the other reviews. Couldnt be more happy with the level of service and professionalism I received. Chris will give it to you straight which is hard to find. Highly recommend!!

I was referred to Chris at Countryside Auto in 1997 by a friend and current customer. Ive been with them ever since. Simply put, these guys are HONEST, PROFESSIONALS, who do great work at a great price. You are involved in the process from start to finish. No surprises! When you pick up your vehicle, you know in advance what the price is, and what was done.Dont get overcharged by the dealer just because they have that little cookie warmer in the lobby!!!!

Good experience with these guys. Had alternator replace - quick service and reasonable price. Would use again.

Chris and JR are the best! Ive been going to them for years. Theyre always honest and helpful. I wont take my car anywhere else. I highly recommend them.

Ive been bringing. My 1992 Vette to be serviced here for five years. Chris and JR have done the best work on my car that anyone has done in the 12 years that Ive owned it. They are patient and thorough. They have excellent sources to get hard to find parts. I wont be going anywhere else.

I have been going to see Chris and Jr for the last few years. My Dad has been a customer for the past almost 14 years. Repairs are made in a timely manner and at a fantastic price. These guys are the absolute best.

I was referred to Chris by a freind and it was well worth it. I had a small electrical fire with a switch on my door. He had no problem having me drop it off that day. He was able to find the problem and fix it and it didnt coast me an arm an leg. Thank god i know good place to go from now on. Thanks

Seriously Highly Recommended! The garage is located behind the plaza. Chris fixed my stuck power steering for a very reasonable price. Very thorough and honest. You better call him before you pay alot for less somewhere else.

I’ve had numerous cars serviced by Chris for over 18 years. Excellent work, goes the extra mile, honest at fair prices! Highly recommend!

HAND DOWN BEST MECHANIC I HAVE USED. I have an old classic car and have had break problems for years. Brought the car to several other mechanics over the years without any real improvement. After leaving Chris’s the car has never run better. If your looking for an honest straight up and forward mechanic, he is your guy. Did great work on my car!

I have been a customer at this shop for over 25 years. I have absolute confidence in Chris and Jay. More over I trust them enough that I have referred good friends and relatives. They have serviced all my car, foreign and domestic, and all my childrens cars.

These guys know how to fix a car. They were honest and told me straight up what was wrong and how much it would cost there. Not pushy at all or try to nickel and dime you like any other automotive repair shop. Good people

Ive been dealing with Chris for 20 years and have never questioned any dealings Ive had with him or his associate, J.R. He has always been honest, reliable and work has been done at a fair price. I would recommend Countryside Automotive to anyone looking for a good auto mechanic.

Honest ! !!!What you should expect from an Automotive shop.Prices are legitimate, itemized and proper.Long distance transaction for a local individual with no surprises!We will be going back again when needed!
