Call Us Today at 813-993-0750
If your car has stopped, will not start, or has developed a fault you do not want to drive on, you do not have to get it anywhere. We are a mobile mechanic Tampa FL drivers call when the vehicle is the problem, and we come to your driveway, your workplace parking lot, or the roadside where it has stopped.
Tell us what the car is doing and where it is parked. The van arrives with diagnostic equipment and the parts that fail most often in this heat, so the majority of jobs are finished on the first visit. You get told what is wrong and what it costs before any work starts. Call 813-993-0750.
Tell us what is wrong and where the car is. Call 813-993-0750.
A battery that will not turn the engine on Dale Mabry Highway, or a brake pedal that has gone soft, does not have to cost you a day off work. We carry the tools and the common parts with us, so diagnostics, brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, A/C and cooling work all happen at your curb. You stay where you are and the car gets fixed.
We Come to You
Your driveway, your office parking lot, or the side of the road. We bring the workshop to the vehicle.
Diagnostics First
We read the codes and test the part before quoting, so you are not paying to replace something that was working.
Heat, humidity and stop-start traffic on the Veterans Expressway are hard on cars. These are the jobs we are called out for week in, week out, and every one of them is done at your location.
The single most common call we take. Heat is what shortens battery life here, so three or four years is normal in Tampa where five would be normal further north. We load test the battery and check the charging output before selling you anything, because a failing alternator flattens a new battery within the week.
Cold on the move and warm in traffic is a different fault from never cold at all, and the difference decides the cost. We check pressures, airflow and leaks before adding refrigerant, because charging a leaking system just puts the same bill a few weeks away.
Grinding as you slow, a pedal that sinks, or a shudder coming off the interstate. Stop-start traffic on Dale Mabry and Hillsborough works brakes harder than highway miles do. Pads, rotors and fluid are measured rather than guessed at, so you only replace what is actually worn.
We are mobile mechanics and nothing else. That means the van is set up for roadside and driveway work, the common parts are already on board, and you are not booking your car in and losing it for two days. About Mobile Auto Repair Pros of Tampa sets out who turns up, and how we work.
We tell you what the fault is, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost, before any work starts. If a job genuinely needs a lift or an alignment rack, we will say so rather than guess at it. Our Helpful Guides Tampa FL pages set out typical costs on the jobs we get called out for most. Call 813-993-0750.
The calls that come in most often around Tampa, and what each one usually turns out to be.
The car cranks but will not catch, and it started on the first properly cold morning after a long hot summer. Tampa heat shortens battery life badly, and a battery that coped all August often gives up the first time it is asked to turn a cold engine. We load test the battery and check the charging output before replacing anything, because a failing alternator produces the same symptom and swapping the battery alone leaves you stranded again a week later.
The air conditioning blows cold on the move but goes warm sitting in traffic. That pattern points at airflow across the condenser rather than the refrigerant itself, so it is often a cooling fan that has stopped cutting in, or a condenser packed with road debris. It shows up on the crawl along Dale Mabry Highway long before it shows up on the open road, which is why we ask where you noticed it.
A pedal that pulses under the foot when slowing from speed. Usually a warped or unevenly worn rotor rather than anything wrong with the pads, and it gets worse the longer it is left because the uneven surface chews through the new pads too. We measure rotor thickness and runout rather than guessing, and tell you whether it can be machined or needs replacing.
Eight headings, and between them most of what goes wrong on a car that is driven every day in this heat. Each one opens a full page. If you are not sure which fits your problem, describe the symptom on the phone and we will work it out with you.
Engine diagnostics, transmission trouble, exhaust work, steering and suspension, filters, safety inspections and truck repair. This is the general repair work that keeps a car on the road, and it is the largest part of what we do across the city.
Transmission repair, general repairs, vehicle inspection, auto maintenance, engine tuning and roadside assistance. Servicing slips easily when a car spends its life on school runs and commutes, and the heat here makes the intervals matter more than the sticker suggests.
Exhaust system repair, engine repair, steering and suspension replacement, clutch replacement, detailed inspection and carburetor cleaning. Most of what would normally send a car into a shop does not actually need the building, only the tools and the parts.
Pads, rotors, calipers, hoses and fluid. Brakes are the one system worth attending to the week you notice something rather than the month after. A pedal that pulses, a squeal turning into a grind, or a car pulling to one side all get measured rather than guessed at.
Oil and filter changed at your home or your workplace parking lot, using the grade the manufacturer specifies for your engine. Heat is what makes this matter in Florida: oil thins as it gets hot and breaks down faster in a car that sits in traffic.
Recharge, repair, component replacement and leak diagnosis. In this climate a car with no working air conditioning is close to unusable, and it is one of the most common calls we take. We test for leaks before adding anything, because a recharge on a leaking system is money gone.
Batteries, alternators, starters and the wiring between them. A car that will not start is the single most common reason a Tampa driver calls a mobile mechanic, and the cause is nearly always electrical. We load test and check charging output before replacing anything.
Coolant flushes, exchanges, leak repair and pressure testing with a full hose inspection. Overheating is the fault that turns an inconvenience into an engine rebuild if it is left, and slow Florida traffic is exactly where it happens.
Mobile Auto Repair Pros of Tampa works out of 5621 Pinnacle Heights Cir, Tampa, FL 33624, and we come out across the city and the surrounding area from there. You do not need to visit: every job is done at your home, your workplace or wherever the vehicle has stopped.
The areas we get called to most often each have their own page with local details and directions. Start at Locations Tampa, FL if you want to check yours, or just call 813-993-0750 and tell us where the car is.
Straight answers to what Tampa drivers ask us before booking a call out.
1
We come to you. Your driveway, your workplace parking lot, or wherever the car has stopped. Tell us the location and what the car is doing and we bring the tools and the common parts with us.
2
Diagnostics, brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, A/C, cooling system work, filters, belts and most bolt-on repairs are all done where the car sits. Work that genuinely needs a lift, an alignment rack, tire machines or a full engine or transmission teardown is not mobile work, and we will tell you that up front instead of taking the call out fee.
3
We diagnose the fault first, then tell you what the repair takes and what it costs before any work starts. You are not paying for a part that turns out to be working, and nothing is fitted without your say so.

Tampa and the surrounding area, including Carrollwood, Westchase, Town and Country, Temple Terrace, Brandon and the neighborhoods either side of the Veterans Expressway. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask.
