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.

From our first conversation, I had a good feeling that he was a straightforward and honest person, and that impression has proven to be accurate. Their pricing has been very fair compared to the other estimates I received. They also have their own dedicated tow truck, which made the entire process much more convenient. Most importantly, they were honest about whether a repair was worth making or whether it would be better to consider other options. That kind of integrity is hard to find these days. I highly recommend EATC to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reasonably priced repair shop that puts honesty and customer service first.

I asked him to give me the bottom line on a transmission so I could be prepared, 6,500. After receiving my car Nick called me asking why I thought I needed a transmission so I explained it to him. Fast forward my transmission is fine, I needed mounts. MOUNTS!!!!!! Under a 1,000 with an oil change. He could have put that transmission in and I would have never known it wasn't needed. My car drives beautiful . So good to know there are still honest people that you can count on. I will recommend Nick and his crew to everyone...10 stars

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.

Like all the other reviews he is a scammer, shyster and by the look of his work he can't fix cars . I brought him a virgin World Class T5 transmission that had 70,000 miles on it and wanted the input shaft to be changed to the fox body input shaft and he charged me a $1000.00. When I got the transmission back it was making a whining noise and Jeff said it was normal. I only put 2500 miles on the transmission and it was leaking fluid and the noise was louder and I brought the transmission back and it was out of warranty. He charged me another $180.00 to repair it and it was still whining. I brought the transmission back for the 3rd time Jeff kept saying it was going to be ready and always had some excuse that it wasn't done . He had the transmission for 4 1/2 months and I picked it up because Jeff couldn't fix it and it was all apart and the bolt holes in the case were stripped out and now it's junk . His shop looks more like a junkyard than a auto repair shop and was running it off a generator for last 4 months because there is no electricity there. I don't how this guy stays in business.
