Peterson Auto and Truck has the knowledge to take care of any mechanical issue thrown at them. 5/19/2014

When I leave my vehicles at Peterson Auto and Truck, I feel confident that they will take the necessary steps to do it right. I have had a very bad experience taking my Trucks to Quick lube joints. They are trained to check fluid levels and advise service based on milage alone rather than having the necessary knowledge to focus on what is really important. Peterson Auto and Truck has the knowledge to build the engine from the frame up and the oversight to advise honestly if they find a problem, not just change the fluid and send you on your way.

Friendly staff-2 hour wait for oil change 5/19/2014

I had a groupon for this company and everytime I go the staff is very kind. However, I waited nearly 2 hours for a simple oil change (with an appointment and was on time). None of my fluids were refilled whatsoever. I guess the savings was good but the time you have to wait is a little ridiculous. I would say they need to hire more experienced techs as well as have them speed up the process. One other complaint is the follow up. I was thinking to have a few things done extra there so I requested a quotation to be emailed. I waited a few weeks and still heard nothing so I emailed again. Still no response, as a manager of customer service and sales this is sad to see a business not care to put their customers first. RESPONSE FROM Peterson Auto & Truck: Brandy, First,thank you for choosing us. We do appreciate your business. I am a disappointed that you state your fluids were not filled. Had you called, I would have handled this immediately. However, I have pulled your account and now know who to go to, ensuring this WILL NOT happen again. We have been extremely busy, and a typical oil changes does not take long. With the Groupon you receive an Oil Change Package. (much more then your ordinary oil change.) This does take longer, I do apologize you feel it was not fast enough. In regards to your email quote request, we typically do not email quotes. The service manager thought he could do this fairly easy, but I was later informed that he was unable to complete this task. (thanks to your review) I do appreciate your feedback as it helps the company grow and perfect smaller imperfections. If you have additional groupon's for us, I hope you will give us another shot, as we do not conduct business with this sort of customer service and of course, we are only a phone call away. We welcome all customers old and new to contact us with any questions or concerns they may have regarding their vehicle and repairs done. Thank You for your time. more

wonderful experience 5/19/2014

They made me feel welcomed to their "family" like business and took the time to explain the processes of the work being done. Did a double inspection on a repair the dealership said I needed to replace, turned out the dealership wasn't being truthful. I'm sure for my oil change soon, can't imagine going anywhere else. more

Awesome business 5/19/2014

Scheduling the appointment was easy and when I got there I didn't have to wait for service past my appt time. Dusty, the service advisor- friendly, personable, professional and very helpful. This is customer service at its finest. I am usually uneasy when getting my car serviced since I am female and I've had places try to pull one over on me before, but this didn't happen here, I felt very comfortable. He gave me his business card and some coupons for next time..actually lots of coupons- I love coupons! They had a small waiting area that didn't smell like oil and grease (yay!) and my car was done pretty quickly. I've found my go to place for all of my family's car repairs and I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers in the area. Thanks Peterson Auto & Truck for being so awesome! more

Friendly, affordable, service-oriented, fast, efficient 5/15/2014

I will only let Peterson's work on my car! They get the job done right the first time. If anything is going on with my car, they always are able to get me right away. I own a Subaru Impreza and I always trust that they know what they are doing with it. Everyone who works there is very kind and knowledgeable. more

Guys were friendly and job was done promptly 5/15/2014

I would recommend friends/family to your establishment. more

Mike and the service staff at Peterson Auto are top notch! 5/15/2014

I always recommend Peterson Auto to anyone asking for a good auto shop. They have always been fair with pricing, honest with estimates & prompt with service. I give them 5 stars!! more

Quick and excellent. 5/15/2014

Every time I need something done quickly, Peterson Auto and Truck Services takes me in. They put you in really quickly and get it done fast, and I really appreciate that a lot. I've used them for whatever services I've needed, and I've been using their services for probably the past 7 years at least. I will continue to use them since they always keep things quick, and their location is also very convenient since they're a couple blocks from my house. more

When they fix something, it stays fixed 5/14/2014

I've lived in Seminole for twenty-something years and I switched back and forth between different garages to work on my car. I feel more comfortable with Peterson Auto and Truck Services. When I've had their service and they fix something, it stays fixed--that's a big plus to me. Stan Dornig more

Editorial review from Citysearch 11/12/2013

Not so great anymore! In the past I have had great service at a fair price with great customer service. I am sad to say that is not the case anymore. Chris the Service Writer has left the shop. In the past Chris would always advise us of other possible issues with the vehicle(s), but would never push the repair. He would generally say, hey in about 6 months you will need.....whatever, so start saving a little cash here and there. This past visit (October 2013) was not what I had become accustomed to. I tool my vehicle in for brakes and low and behold it needed lower ball joint and upper control arms replaced. These items are only two years old. The worst part is that when I declined the extra work and only wanted the brakes done. The new Service Writer tried to push a line of credit to get all the repairs done in one shot. Really come on!! I also found that Peterson is a bit high on their parts mark-up. When I called the owner and asked the question about the parts mark up, he said ""If you want your vehicle worked on for free, it won't happen here."" Not what I was asking for, just questioning the mark-up percentage on parts. I understand they have to make a profit, but a 60% mark up on parts to me is unacceptable. I will be looking for a new mechanic. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/24/2013

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, thats how I would describe my experience at Peterson Auto and Truck. I have never felt so good about a decision to use a garage. Everytime something breaks on my car I know Petersons will be able to fix it and it wont cost me a ton of money. more

Thank you for incredibly fast service 1/16/2013

I was in my work truck on my way to a service call when I lost my steering, and started to loose power in my van. I was able to pull into a parking lot, and as luck would have it I was in front of Peterson Auto and truck. I was greeted outside by a young man named Chris. He opened my hood and saw that my fan belt was busted. He looked at me and said, I'll be right back". He came back with a mechanic, and a belt. They changed it right in the parking lot. I was back on the road in less than 5 minutes. I couldn't believe it. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/9/2013

This is the most reliable place I have ever taken my car too. I cannot say enough nice things about the professionalism this garage exhibits. I will continue to bring my vehicle to the most trust worthy and legitimate guys in town. Kevin and his team are unlike any other mechanics you will ever know. I have always gotten my car fixed in the promised time and at an extremely fair price. All of his work is guaranteed and I have never had a problem with any work he has ever done. more

Customer service in auto repair is not dead after all 5/5/2012

I wish I could give these guys 10 stars. I found them online in a pinch when my Beetle was leaking oil and they were right near my house so I called them up. They were so friendly and patiently listened to the issues I was having with my car so I felt confident right away and brought the car in. I am a female and this is the first place I have ever felt like I was not being ripped off or spoken to in a condescending way to. The rates were very reasonable and they gave me a ride home when I left the car for repair. I initially brought the car to a certain big named dealership and was treated horribly, made to feel my car was junk, and told I needed far more things fixed than what was needed. These guys at Peterson are honest and want to work with you to fix what is within your means to fix at at that time. I am a young, working person who can only afford to get a little fixed at a time and Michael and the guys totally understood that. So if your car needs some work, get to these guys now. more

the best in the tampa bay area 1/15/2012

Kevin and staff are the best in the area.We have been using them for years,and have refered eveyone we can. these are honest and fair people.I would recomend them to anyone . more

Peterson Truck & Auto is the best 6/24/2011

Peterson Truck and Auto is by far the best garage that I have ever used for any of my vehicles. They are professional and have a great work ethic. They go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are satisfied. They immediately diagnosed water in the fuel tank of my diesel truck and took care of the problem right away. I will highly recommend their services to all of my friends, and will continue to have my newly purchased 2003 Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel truck serviced by them. Thank you! more

It has been fantastic. 11/10/2010

We have a fleet of courier cars that we have serviced through Peterson Auto and Truck. Plus, quite a few of us here take our personal cars to Peterson for repairs. We cannot afford to have our courier cars broken down, and some of the cars have over 400k miles on them, but they are still running and functioning correctly thanks to Kevin. He understands how quickly we need our cars back and he is extremely fast. I have no complaints whatsoever. They have been an integral part of our operation. We have been using Peterson Auto for about 5 years now. We run long distances around Florida, so they have set up an account with an outside towing company, which has helped a lot. They have also set up a deal with a local tire dealer who sells us tires at a reasonable rate. And, through his network, Kevin has found very expensive items that were hidden on a recall list. He facilitated those repairs through the dealer to no cost of our own. Colin Teal Supervisor Idexx Laboratories Inc more

They are considerate and welcoming to their customers. They want repeat business. 11/5/2010

Everyone at Peterson Auto and Truck is very considerate, prompt, honest and friendly. I have used them long enough to know the difference. They are excellent, honest people. I have lived all over the country, from Maine to Florida, and I have never had a mechanic as considerate as they are. They keep in touch with their customers, and they periodically send information out. They are all good men. So many mechanics just want their customers in and out, and they are not honest. Many people cringe when something goes wrong with a car and they have to bring it to a mechanic. At Peterson, after the first job they did for me I was impressed and continue to go back. They treat me fairly, and I tell everyone I know about them. They are the best. more

Great Auto Repair Experience 7/15/2010

Recently took my Cadillac to Peterson Auto And Truck for repairs for the first time. Was pleasantly suprised at the level of customer service and honest assessment of my vehicle. Plus the price was right and received a 2 yr/24,000 mile warranty on repairs. Kevin the manager was very helpful and went out of his way to make us feel like we had done business with them for years. The shop even called me a couple of days later to check on the repairs and ask if we were satisfied. Would definitely recommend this repair shop for the customer service, reasonable price and quality. Pros: Excellent Customer Service, Honest and Reasonably Priced more

Good Repair Shop 3/17/2010

Good repair shop. I got quotes from 5 repair centers and this one was a little less than 2 others and hundreds less than both Cadillac dealers. More inportantly is the fact that the work was well done and in a timley manor. Kevin takes a personal and professional interest in customer satifaction. Kevin and his staff want you to become a regular and repeat customer and strive to do so by fair pricing, quality work and friendly service. I recommend you give them a call 727-329-8728 next time you need service. 2003 Cadillac motor mount and PS hose repaced. Pros: Strive for 100% customer satifaction and less expensive more
