Description of Work: Regular tune up and check on systems. These guys are always professional, personable and trust worthy. Certified to take care of my Lexus LS and do so at a much lower price than the dealer. They never try to sell anything beyond what I need done. Excellent.

SPLENDIDLY. OBVIOUSLY HIGH QUALITY AUTO SERVICE BY A PROFESSIONAL TEAM THAT ENJ0YS WORKING TOGETHER. I'VE HAD CARS SERVICED IN LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHILE IN THE MILITARY AND HERE IN THE TAMPA AREA DURING THE PAST 40 YEARS. MOST AUTO SERVICE PEOPLE TAKE CAR CARE PERSONALLY, HOWEVER THERE ARE THE BUMS (ONE GUY INSISTED I NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID -- IN MY MANUAL SUBCOMPACT. ANOTHER, WHOSE FANCY SIGN TOUTED THE SHOP'S EXPERTISE, POPPED THE HOOD AND EXCLAIMED, "A SIDEWAYS ENGINE! WHAT IS IT?") THE CREW AT ASHTON AUTO RANKS WITH THE BEST, SUCH AS THOSE LONG-TIME FAMILY FRIENDS WHO OWNED THEIR OWN SHOP FOR 20 YEARS OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD PROS WHO HAVE A MISSION TO MAKE YOUR CAR PURR. FOR A BONUS, ASHTON HAS THE NEATEST, CLEANEST WAITING ROOM, LUSH WITH DYE-CAST MODLES OF CLASSIC MUSTANGS!
Description of Work: RE TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS (IT WAS A HECK OF A MONTH. THE AC DIED -- IN THE CARE AND THE HOUSE --, PLUS ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT!) 1) THE AC IN MY 2001 ESCORT WENT OUT ... A POSSIBLE HIGH REPAIR BILL. BUT, OWNER BOB AND HIS ASSOCIATES CHARGED LESS THAN $40.00 TO RECHARGE THE FLUID .. ALL THAT WAS NEEDED. COURTEOUS, FORTHRIGHT AND PROMPT. 2) HORRORS! SOMETHING UNDER THE HOOD WENT FWAP, FWAP AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. CALLED ASHTON AND HAD CAR TOWED THERE. A BUSY PLACE, THEY WORKED ME IN IN A TIMELY FASHION, APPRAISED ME OF ESTIMATED COST WHEN PROBLEM IDENTIFIED, THEN DID JOB BEAUTIFULLY. COST COMPAIRED RESONABLLY (OR, LESS THAN) GOING RATE FOR REPLACING A BROKEN TIMING BELT. BOB ALSO GAVE ME SOUND ADVICE FOR FUTURE CARE OF MY GERIATRIC FORD.

Extremely professional, yet personable, honest and priced reasonably. You can believe what they say and their work is excellent. We've been going there for years and would not think of going anywhere else
Description of Work: Anything you need they can do it, or if they can't, they will tell you they can't. Honest to a tee.

I've used Ashton Auto Center for years and they're wonderful. They're honest, timely and get things done when they say they will. They have reasonable costs, for the quality of the service. They're very honest. It's hard to find an service like that. The first time I brought my car to him, he could have ripped me off because I don't know a thing about cars. He could have told me I needed an $800.00 brake job and I wouldn't have known the difference. He told me my brakes were fine and to have them checked out again in another 1,000 miles or so. So ever since that, I bring my cars to him.
Description of Work: They provided routine maintenance care on my car.

My car was on the lift at our scheduled time & It was finished in 20 minutes or so. The waiting room is comfortable with TV & up-to-date magazines. I've been taking my cars to Bob since 1987. He is without doubt the most honest, reliable auto mechanic anyone could hope for.
Description of Work: Routine maintenance (lube, oil change & new filter)

They are very professional, very reasonable and most of all, being a single woman, I trust them not to try to rip me off. Not to tell me I need something that I don't need. I started going to them because I thought I needed brakes and he said "No! Your brakes are fine". He could have easily just sold me a set of brakes and he didn't so I've been going there ever since for years.
Description of Work: I use Ashton Auto Center for auto services. The last time I went for an oil change, although the do other major services.
