Honest and fair priced. Each time I have been there for different reasons, the issue has turned out to be minor, even though I was sure it was going to be a major issue. They're very professional, explain things simply and it's easy to have confidence in them. read more

My car was leaking oil. They set me up with an appointment two days out. They called me three times with updates. Tried a quick fix that didn't work because it wasn't the seal. Then replaced the plug. Done in a matter of hours for a decent price. Very communicative. Asked if I had my oil changed recently, to try and save me money (had they cracked the plugged). Honest, quick, and communicative. I'll be back! read more

Very friendly and professional especially when we were in a bind!! They helped us out and the price was reasonable

Avoid Devito's for car repair! My daughter's car has been there several times now over the last few months, for multiple repairs due to one thing or another going wrong with the engine's cooling system.....spending over $1700. The last time only being a month or so ago. Each time, they had to keep the car for several days, which made things difficult on our family...getting my 6yo grandson to school and home is not easy. Yes, They have live with us, due to the horrible economy and inflation, that 'you know who' has put us all in. But I don't want to talk about that, I want to try and warn you, not to go to DeVito's anymore. Shady. Unprofessional. Rude. Uncaring. Non-responsive. Extremely poor (or basically no) communication. A month ago, maybe less, the car was there for a whole week, and we spent like $1000. All for repair to the engine cooling system. Wednesday while taking my grandson to St Pete for a dentist appt., the AC stopped blowing cold. So on the way back, they dropped it off at DeVitos. After two days waiting on an estimate, I finally had enough. So I took my son in law down there to just get the car and take it somewhere else. Oh boy, they didn't like that! So they charged us $145.00! Basically to look at the car for 5 minutes, and tell us that the AC compressor clutch was out. $145.00! They said they were having problems getting the clutch without replacing the whole compressor, which is why it was taking so long. Anyone somewhat knowledgable, would know that that would be a bad idea and would most likely necessitate a return trip for more repairs, as the compressor would most likely have been damaged when the clutch froze, and the compressor would need replacement..... hmm, is there a pattern here? Maybe it's all coincidence, I don't know. But we took it to P & T auto repair Friday and they'll have it fixed on Monday. I took my wife's car there for a VERY difficult to diagnose problem, and they figured it out and fixed it in 2 days. No diagnostic fee. For DeVitos to charge us $145....for basically nothing...after all the times the car was there for repair, and all the money previously spent there on this same car, and for more cooling system issues, I feel is just not right. Shame on you DeVitos. In these tough economic times, to treat customers like this, especially returning customers. Shame on you. Karma is real. I hope it comes back to haunt you. read more

Stuck on 301 and the nearest mechanic shop was Devito's. So, I called them up and explained my situation, that my car would not start. Devito's had no problem with me towing the car there. Devito's kept it honest with me also, told me that they had other vehicles to attend to before mine and that it would take a couple of days. Devito's fixed the problem. Devito's service was surprisingly good, great staff and service and FAIR prices. read more

Recommend 100% Devito's for tires, auto repair, oil changes etc.. This is a small, local business that is family owned & operated & been in business for many years. I have used them several times and they have consistently beat out Costco & Walmart in both price of tires & wait times for both. You can count on honest, dependable, quality service each & every time. They even found a tire rim for me from salvation & saved me a small fortune. If you've ever replaced one, you know what I mean. Support local business, especially when they go above & beyond for their customers. They have a 5 star rating for a reason! read more

We had the best experience buying tires from this establishment. They are so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We will definitely use them for oil changes, all repairs and tires. Thanks Tom, Jon and Steven you and your staff are awesome! W. Waggoner Holmes Beach read more

Made an appointment for my vehicle, new to Florida. Got a call saying I needed two batteries for my car for a total of 800.00. I told them to go ahead and do it but with AC DELCO batteries. Then I politely asked for a breakdown of the bill and if I could get away with doing just the main battery and wait on the start/ stop one. They said I needed to do both. I then said ok go ahead. Then I got a call saying they can get me ONE AC DELCO BATTERY AND ONE AUTO ZONE BATTERY( which is a cheaper battery), but it would still be the same price. I then said I'd rather TWO AC DELCO Especially if your still charging me the same price. They then said come pick up your car and WE WILL CUT TIES WITH YOU!!!!!!. The next customer asked for a print out of his ALIGNMENT, they said we don't give those out!!!! LESSON HERE , your not allowed to ask questions retaining how they spend your money or they WONT REPAIR YOUR CAR!!! BRING IT TO A REPUTABLE PLACE. They are RUDE read more

I moved here three years ago... It's always difficult to find a great auto mechanic that is honest, fair, and knowledgeable when you are new in town. For the first year I continued to schlep to St Pete for service by a place I knew and trusted... eventually I asked a business owner here if there was a place he would recommend. Without reservation he recommended Divito's and I have been extremely satisfied through many visits with three cars. Family outfit, they live here, and they are experienced and honest. read more

Thought I had done a 5 star review earlier, however DeVito's the the most honest repair shop in the area. I appreciate them !!! read more

My husband & I have always had great experiences when bringing our cars to Devito's for major work to just an oil change. They are courteous, accommodating, thorough and stay in constant contact with us while our cars are being worked on. They are just good people who do honest work with no up selling of needless extras. We would highly recommend Devito's Auto Repair to anybody. Dealing with an auto repair shop is usually not because of something going good. But if we do need repairs we call Devito's first. read more

Tom and the family where great to deal with. One of my spark plugs exited the head unexpectedly at 11:30 Saturday night. I called on Monday morning and tom said he had the repair and had seen it before and had a Thursday slot open but if i towed it in early he would work it in. Tom called me on Tuesday telling me it was done. Tom and the team at Devito's have earned my business. read more
