Best

These guys are fun, good-natured, and professional. Would come back again and again.

Worst

They put the wrong oil in my vw bug and then tried to tell me it didn't matter after I found out. Oil light came on- had to take it to a different shop and have it redone. Lucki...

Wonderful, nice bunch of guys. 8/13/2014

Everything about my visit with Peterson Auto & Truck was wonderful. The guys that work there gave me a ride home and did a total tune up on my '91 Cadillac. It's working great. I called them up and told them how wonderful it felt, and I love it. They were a nice bunch of guys and I will definitely use them forever. I've told everyone about them and have already gotten them 4 new customers. more

Extremely attentive and responsive service 8/7/2014

I have been using Peterson Auto & Truck for over a year and enjoy their customer service. They don't ever try to hassle you with things that you don't need and I'm very satisfied with their workmanship and prices. The mechanics are honest and professional. Mike is normally who I deal with and he knows his stuff. I'd definitely recommend them. more

They are one of a kind! 8/5/2014

There are not many companies around like Peterson Auto & Truck these days. I recommend them all of the time! I have been dealing with Mike for a very long time and would not take my car anywhere else. I bought a 1993 buick about 3 years ago. I did not pay very much for it and it started having some problems. Mike fixed it up and it is like brand new now! I can guarantee that if you have anything wrong with your car, he will find it. He is honest and will not make stuff up! My car is older and I was looking for a spare tire because the one I have is the donut style. I looked online and everywhere. I could not find what I was looking for. I did not think Mike would have one because he is not a tire guy. He had one on in less than an hour. I am definitely pro-Peterson. Anything I can do to help them, I will. I really appreciate all of the work they have done for me. more

Outstanding 7/31/2014

Peterson Auto & Truck is our go-to auto shop. Mike provides us with very honest service and is fair with his pricing. He just makes me feel at ease with my car. We've been using him for a year or two and have started taking two cars to him since we really like his service. He's professional, personable, and knows his stuff. I would strongly recommend Peterson Auto & Truck to anyone looking for quality auto repairs. more

A/C condensation tube blocked 7/21/2014

Had driven through torrential rains on Thurs July 17 and thought my Jeep had ingested gallons of rain somehow. Got home Sunday and literally buckets of water were sloshing into the front foot wells. Winds up the rains had jammed something into the A/C's condensation drainage tube. On Monday, (July 21) I called Michael at Peterson Auto & Truck who said that's exactly what it sounds like. He had my Jeep cleared of its blockage within minutes. So professional and incredibly helpful (and he explained everything, too)! more

Nice guys, eager to help 7/9/2014

You guys here at Peterson's are very helpful and awesome! Thank you for squeezing my car in when you were a little busy. Your help was much appreciated! I will definitely recommend you to others. more

Very helpful! 7/1/2014

Peterson Auto & Truck is right across from where my vehicles are parked and they're willing to pick them up and drop them off. I've been using that place since before the current group bought it. The last group wasn't very good but this current group is very helpful. John V., Pinch a Penny Pool Supply more

Excellent 6/24/2014

I've had all kinds of service for three cars at Peterson Auto & Truck because they are very efficient. Excellent service as well. more

Good, honest, hardworking, and dependable people. 6/20/2014

The reason that I would rate Peterson Auto & Truck highly is because they were honest with me. They showed me everything that they were doing, and they were up front. As a consumer, sometimes you come across people that just create more obstacles because they're not up front with you. I wanted to do one thing, and they told me that they wouldn't recommend that because of certain factors, and I appreciated their honesty. I had a motor replaced, and they went out of their way to find a new one with only 48,000 miles on it, and it runs like it's brand new. They put in the motor a lot quicker than I expected as well. I dropped it off Thursday for them to take a look at it, and they had it back to me in less than a week. I was very surprised. Also, Dave was an awesome mechanic, and he thoroughly showed me the entire process step by step on what they had worked on. My son's car has been having issues with his motor as well. I told him to go ahead and buy a new one and that I would take his and fix it up as well, and I will be taking it to them soon. Peterson really stuck with me. I had another place before, and instead of telling me that my motor was shot and bad, they added transmission fluid so it was all gunked up. Because they didn't change the oil properly, it basically kind of blew up. That was my last time at the other place, and even though Peterson Auto & Truck is about 15 miles away from me, I will be going here from now on. Mark Rhodes more

Great customer care and overall professionality 6/19/2014

My experience with Peterson Auto & Truck has been excellent. These guys are great when it comes to communication and responsiveness. They call you back and let you know whats up instead of waiting for you to call, great feedback overall and the utmost respect for me a customer. They are efficient in their work manner and deliver timely results with little question-ability and overall I thought it was a great value for the price. I highly recommend these guys to anybody in the market for a quality auto dealer with real customer experience skills. David H. more

Best shop in town, I refer everyone here 6/13/2014

All family cars come here. I go to Largo to get my mom's car. Mike is the best- don't ever feel like I'm getting BS'd to death. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 3/19/2014

The guy that owns it is a complete rip off type of person. He will lie to you about giving discounts. I have only heard of people doing this but I have never worked for one. He got mad at me because I did a 20% discount on his biggest account that spends 50k or more a year with him. The reason he got mad is because he wanted me to mark it up 20% and then give 20% off. I can not do that. Also when you come in for an oil change it does not matter what oil change you buy you get the bulk oil put in your car. That's right if you pay the big bucks for the synthetic oil change you are NOT getting synthetic oil. You are getting the same oil that the people who paid $12.00 for a Groupon oil change gets. We have diagnosed cars to need repairs that cost hundreds of dollars just to find out that it did not fix the car. Then after further diag we found that the correct fix would have cost only maybe $50.00 but he still charged the hundreds and then put the 50.00 on top of it. This place is not a place that you want to get your car worked on at. I am ashamed to say I even worked there for this guy. He is good at making people think he is legit but he is not. He smokes pot every morning and throughout the day and his tech's are not ASE certified, he has tech's that are drinking and getting high through the day and working on customers cars. Please help spread the word so that people do not get ripped off. I do not care if they come to me or where I work, I just don't want them to go there and get ripped off. He owns 4 stores 118th ave n,,,,, 86th ave and 9th st n st pete,,,,,, Highland just south of Sunset,,,,,,, and Azelia 71st street and 9 ave . more

I have never been happier with an auto shop in my life. Mike is an excellent manager and mechanic and I fully trust him with my car and truck. If you are looking for quality work and at fair place then Petersons Auto and Truck is where you want to be. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/22/2012

These guys are amazing, not only replaced my broken part but fixed the root problem that broke it, didn't even charge me any more than the initial replacement job which was already less than I expected. They know exactly what they are doing. They even made me promise to come back for a follow-up to make sure everything is running smoothly and safely. I will call them whenever I need help with my car, and will tell all my friends to go to them, too! more

My neighbor recommended Peterson Auto so I drove up to St. Petersburg and could not be happier with the results I got. My car hasnt run this good in months! They fixed it in the time they said and it didnt cost me an arm and a leg like the other places I have gone to in the past. I am so glad I took the extra time to drive up from Sarasota as this was definiately worth the drive! more
