One of the top places to take your car in Zephyrhills. They are professional, accommodating, and their prices are at fair market value. Will trust them again with my car

This is a warning to anyone who chooses this business.I had my 2012 Kia Optima towed to this location last Friday because it was apparent that my starter was not working. Upon the advice of the manager of Ice Cold Air (my current shop and mechanic), I took it here because they previously changed the starter and it was supposed to be under warranty.Upon arrival the next day on Saturday (March 21st), the manager Derrick Pena and another young guy with tattoos went to look at my car while I was there, and they proceeded to put in a new battery in my car. Their assumption was incorrect, so they went ahead and put a new starter in the car.After a few hours and the manager keeping me away from seeing the repairs to my car, they all pushed the Kia inside of the bay to prevent me from watching. Than a couple of minutes later, the guy with the tattoos approached me very casually and told me that my motor was blown, like it was no big deal.Aside from the bad news I was given, the guy with the tattoos told me that he would sell me an engine for $3500, but he would knock off $500 to be nice to me.I was not happy at all, so I called the Manager of Ice Cold Air and told him what happened. He immediately recommended that I have the car put back together and towed to his location in Zephyrhills.On Monday morning, I called this location and spoke to Derick Pena the Manager and informed him that my car was to be towed from his shop. I also asked that my car be put back in the way it arrived to his shop and he complied.When the tow company arrived and picked up my car and brought it across town to Ice Cold Air, the Manager Shawn immediately was disgusted because the components on top of my engine were torn apart.As seen in the uploaded pictures, this shop left my car in shambles and another garage had to locate missing intake bolts, re-assemble the loose starter, install a new intake gasket and replace a broken coolant hose located under the intake.Upset and furious, I called this shop on Monday late morning and explained that my car was not put back together. They said, They probably dont know what they are doing, they can put it back together themselves. Who the heck says that? Can you imagine this happening to your car?Following the advice of the Manager at Ice Cold Air, I wanted the owners phone number to Big Mechanic. His name is Steve Torregiante and I wanted answers on why his shop acted in such an unprofessional manner? I knew that this shop was upset that I wasnt going to buy the engine, so they purposely left my car apart to upset me.The owner never answered his phone or called me back after leaving two voicemails. Today is Saturday the 28th and he still hasnt called me and its apparent this is a very bad business in all. I will never take my car to this shop again and I dont think anyone else should either.To add injury to insult, I paid Ice Cold Air to put my car back together and I was told that my engine was bad. Thanks to the diligence and kindness and professionalism of the Manager, he was able to dictate to me that my car has an active recall on my engine. Due to bad bearing wear inside of the engine under the TSB distributed by Kia, I was told that BIg Mechanic should have known this issue. Instead, they decided to attempt to rip me off and when I told them I was towing it away, they decided to leave my car purposely apart.Today, my car is at Kia getting a new engine replacement, new starter and new intake. I thank Ice Cold Air and their help and expertise for saving me from being ripped off from this establishment. I have since filed a grievance with the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services in seeking the monies I have spent to get my car back together. I will not stop there because I plan on seeking someone who can look into getting this shop shut down for attempting to rip me off. I have contacted Nikki Frieds office and Channel 8 WFLA in hopes that they never do this to anyone again.

I brought my Chrysler Town and Country here after it had been unable to start and then sat for 1 1/2 yrs. Two other mechanics had been unable to diagnose the problem. This auto shop found the problem and fixed it within 2 days and the price was awesome. Since it sat for so long there were other needed repairs which they took care of. I cannot say enough about the shop and Louie who told me he would take care of me and he absolutely did. If youre looking for a great shop and especially being a woman afraid to be taken advantage of, put your worries aside and go to Big Mechanic!!

Went in to Big Mechanic to have the mid and rear mufflers removed on my Dodge Charger. The guys were great and did an amazing job straight piping my ride. Sounds great. I was in and out in less than 2 hrs. Price was great too, other places wanted to charge me almost double. I recommend Big Mechanic in Zephyrhills. They do great work. You won’t be disappointed.

Cant Say enough about Jeff and the guys at Big Mechanic (Zephyrhills). I have a Toyota tundra with 429,000 miles on it and year after year they keep it up and running. They are honest, fair and the work is superior. No matter where I am in Tampa when something goes wrong with my truck I always go out of my way to get it to Jeff and the guys at Big Mechanic where I know Im in good hands.

Out of the 100 shops in the area, this will always be in the mid 50% range in customer service & pricing. The low hourly rate per hour is a huge plus, customer service is average. My rating is 65 out of 100 for this shop*Shop rating is based on: Online Reviews, Reputation, Recent Shopped Phone Calls.

Review №52

DO NOT GET ANY EXHAUST WORK DONE HERE! Initial impressions of the place were very good, the owner was nice and honest but it only went downhill from there. They had the simple task of removing a resonator and replacing it with straight pipes, a job any other muffler shop could do in their sleep. I noticed something was off when the worker started torching off my resonator instead of using a proper cutting tool. when most of the pipe was burnt off he took a crowbar to pry off the resonator. This shifted my whole exhaust and my exhaust tips were hanging down. The worker then started lowering my car and said he was done. Owner was very understandable and they spent around 2 hours trying to fix their mistake but my tips were still misaligned and the exhaust did not sound right. This forced me to bring my car to another muffler shop and pay more money to fix everything Big Mechanic did to my exhaust. After my car was up on the lift in a different shop, they showed me that I had an exhaust leak at every single point where Big Mechanic tried to weld it. After the pipe was cut off I could see that the pipe wasnt even welded in half the places! I couldnt believe it. It isnt over yet. The resonator that was taken off could not be reused because Big Mechanic torched holes in it while trying to take it off. The other shop fixed everything and my exhaust sounded perfect. Big Mechanic does not have the proper tools to perform any exhaust work and youall end up paying another shop more to fix their mistakes. Do yourself a favor and find a different shop.

The hood release cable broke on my car today and i noticed a small oil leak. I went to a couple of shops in town. They all wanted a fee just to look at it. Gary at Muffler City showed me how to fix it, gave me a free estimate, and made sure my vehicle was safe to drive. I will be bringing my car here from now on.
