Although I won't call him out regarding his shop because I don't know how he runs his business, I…read morewill call Jimmy out on something he did just last week. I called him regarding a C4 core unit that I needed parts out of, and he told me he had 6 of them. After asking how much he wanted for one of them, I agreed on price and asked if he could run it by my shop. He seemed to be in a bit of a hurry when he arrived, so we basically unloaded the unit from his truck, I paid him, we talked for a bit and then he left. After a while I closely examined the unit and discovered it was a C5 and not a C4 which I specifically requested. After calling him back he hung up the phone on me and [refused] to address the situation. I can't say that I'm surprised however, as I have known Jimmy since 1986 and I clearly recall a 50-dollar bet we made on the function of a Mitsubishi transmission years ago. After I presented a tech manual showing that I was correct, he [refused] to square up on the bet. I really hate calling people out on the internet, but this was a hose-bag move. He knew damn well that unit was a C5 before he brought it to me. Maybe he's desperate or something, but I'm going to leave this post up here until he 'man's up' and gets this corrected AND pays me the 50 bucks he owes me on that bet. The thing is with me, is that I never forget. What a weasel!

Not a Professional Automotive Repair facility at all! My…read morewife, dog and I were in Florida on vacation in October 2025 when my 2007 Dodge Dakota's clutch went out. We found what we believed to be a reputable repair facility that said that they could get me in right away and could do the repair work on my truck, as they were not overloaded. We had my truck & windsurf trailer towed to Affordable in Clearwater at the recommendation from their St. Petersburg Shop. (Maybe they are better & actually Professional.) This is where the nightmare began. Kevin was able to repair some standard & straightforward (remove & replace) items he found that were in need of repair, but then things fell apart when other items needed to be "replaced", even though there were no signs that they were a problem before we broke down. During our wait in his waiting room while he disassembled the Transmission, he kept us informed by telling us about all of the rusted components and issues he was trying to work around, all the while I was trying to understand what he was doing. While we were waiting, we basically saw no one at this Shop, a troubling sign, but we did not have any other options, as we were from Maryland, 950 miles away. (As the pictures on their website shows, he has a collection of motorcycles and old "hot rods" that he works on, but no standard / typical drive-in repairs being done at this shop.) In the end, after hearing multiple times from him yelling "I've been doing this for over 50 years!" when I tried to have a conversation with him to possibly share some of my expertise with him, we had to rent a vehicle to get back home, as the repairs would take several days that would only begin after the weekend. We drove home and I scheduled a flight back down 2 weeks later. When I arrived & started my Truck, a loud exhaust leak was present, and I knew from his attitude and comments, including how he "didn't get grease and dirt onto my floormats and upholstery, it was there when I brought the Truck in!" that I also just mentioned, that arguing about this with him would be useless. I paid him (over $3,600 for the work he did) and drove home, and documented all of the issues once I was back home with pictures & captions, showing / backing up what I wrote and supporting receipts and explanations that I had planned to attach to this Review to prove that I am not fabricating this Review, but Yelp does not allow downloading Documents, so I have included a 32 "Picture Story" of what was found and what I did to repair the damage done by Kevin & his assistant at this Shop. (He destroyed my Exhaust System's Slip-Joint where the front Y-Pipe joined the balance of the Exhaust System while removing it to access the Transmission, and he didn't even try or couldn't finish the repairs needed to the Exhaust System. I documented what I did and that he could have easily done if he was half as good as he (shouted) he was. He wasn't.) FYI, I am a 68-year-old Mechanical Engineer / Weekend Mechanic who also has over 50 years of experience, working on vehicles and solving problems I am unfamiliar with, repairing / addressing them as best as I can as situations present themselves. Last, back home before I started doing the work shown here, I received repair estimates from Meineke & Midas, and they proposed to completely weld the damaged exhaust system for between $200 & $500, which would have resulted in the Truck not being serviceable in the future. I also took pictures of my garage & driveway areas where I live, showing the actual conditions of my home. (My Truck only has 115,000 miles on it.) I wrote an email to Affordable, documenting what happened and sent them what is included what I have shown here, but I never received a reply from them.

Turns out my problem was transmission related and my trusted mechanic (Hayduke's) does not do transmission work. What my mechanic did do was recommend American Transmission Of Pinellas. When I called and explained my problem, the owner knew immediately what was wrong and what it would cost to fix it. The quoted price was fair and the work was superb. About a year later the transmission went out on another car I owned and I called 'em up. Triple A towed them my car and again the price quoted was fair and the work was superb. One great experience with a mechanic is possible without being exceptional. Two great experiences means this is the norm! I highly recommend American Transmission of Pinellas!

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on most car issues, however, to me a transmission is just a big black box of unknowns so finding someone who is both honest and knowledgeable was a big concern. After shopping around I picked Trico and I am very glad I did. I found Steve and Bob both to be very helpful by giving me pricing on several options. I picked having Bob rebuild my existing transmission in-house and he did a great job in less than a week. After 600 miles, Bob has you come back in for a check-up which to my surprise was free. Each time I dealt with either Steve or Bob I felt like they were looking out for me and not trying to sell me something I did not need. I highly recommend Trico!
