Victory is always clear, thorough, and thoughtful. It feels like a partnership vs simply being a transaction. When I brought my Sonata in years ago, they walked me underneath the car and pointed the issue out and provided a clear explanation of the why and how of the problem. They’ll give you a full write up with photos of the problem areas and everything. They gave me a quote for my Honda Fit, did the full inspection, AND completed the maintenance work all in the same day! Thanks, Victory!
This is our third vehicle serviced at this location. Techs are upfront and honest with their recommendations. Great communication from the service managers on repair options.
Made me pay 190 bucks to tell me absolutely nothing about my car. Didn't even print anything out for me to make it official, just said he ran diagnostics. I understand that diagnostic machine costs a pretty penny, but you shouldn't scam your customers to pay for it... All while claiming to be Christian
Amazing customer service at the front desk! Had my car towed with AAA to Victory St.Pete, Victory checked out the issues and clearly explained pricing and options! Best auto shop I’ve ever been to!
Was recommended to come here by friend, for new tires and a timing belt replacement, and it was 5* service all around! They booked me in within the week, had the work done very promptly, and came in at a fantastic price relative to the other quotes I received. Highly recommend them for all your auto needs.
Kelly at the counter was knowledgeable and accommodating. The mechanics knew exactly what was needed and shared what they knew about the vehicle. Great place to take your car!!
I made an appointment Wednesday afternoon, on THEIR website for Monday at 8am, for an oil change which mind you there were plenty of slots for waiting and dropping off your vehicle, I arrive this morning for my appointment to the receptionist actively calling me to tell me they couldn’t do my appointment. First off that’s an absolute joke to be calling less than 10minutes before my appointment, but you had how many days to tell me, I mis spoke and said I made the appointment Friday morning, and she said they are closed weekends, turns out I didn’t make the appointment Friday morning but Wednesday afternoon. It’s a shame, the may be reputable but I will never recommend them based on that experience alone.
Everyone at Victory Tire & Auto were so knowledgeable and so helpful! They are also AAA-certified, so members get a discount. I would recommend them to anyone with any kind of car needs!
You need this shop in your life! Kelly, Joe, Eric and all the mechanics are such great partners in keeping older vehicles maintained and helping to evaluate what you need vs what you don't. They are fantastic about working within your budget to help time repairs as needed if applicable. I'm also thrilled to have them as a partner in taking the best care of my newer vehicle to keep it running and safe for a long long time! They stand behind their work and send out regular coupons to help offset some of the costs. They are also just the nicest folks around and the waiting room is clean and well appointed with chargers, fast wifi, a clean bathroom and plenty of comfy chairs/couch if you need to get some work done or just relax while you wait for your vehicle.
If you need an emergency tire replacement after blowing one of yours on the road, I recommend you seek other options. Popped a tire on the way to work, pulled into “Victory TIRE and Auto,” as it’s shown online, and I was turned away in record time. Without even glancing at their inventory, I was told they didn’t have a tire in stock and had no ability to obtain one that day. Not something I’ve encountered at an auto shop before, especially for a very standard Kia Soul tire, but luckily I found a place directly down the road that was able to easily help me. A “middle” option that I appreciate a “ton”.
Beware I took my car here since my car was stalling. I had a quote that I needed spark plugs which was a huge bill (I did it myself). Turned out it was my crank shaft position sensor. But the REAL bad part I paid for an oil change synthetic in October in December my oil light comes on I had no oil….how? And I do not have a leak. Simple mathematics. It was cheaper taking my car to the dealer.
This was my first time going to Victory Tire & Auto. They are great to work with got my car in the next day . They were super helpful with everything .I really feel that they are very honest and upfront about what needs to be done and I am so appreciative to Kelly especially for all her above and beyond help. I will definitely go there again and refer a friend . A big thank you to them ! ⭐
Took my car to Firestone on 62nd Ave and 9th street! Car was not right, push the gas and it wanted to stall! They said i needed a whole new exhaust system! They had my car for over a week! Got it back! Drove it home! Went to go to work the next day!! Same problem! Took it to Victory, they checked it out!! All I needed was a new fuel pump and spark plugs!! Plugs because if driving it under bad conditions!! Got taken advantage of by Firestone!! They let me drive a loaner car!! Had to spend 300 for rental car while Firestone had mine!! Victor was awesome and honest!! Will only take my car to them from now on!! All the people who work there were very nice and accommodating!! Best place in St. Pete!! Recommend them very highly over any other place in that area!!! Thank you so much! Special thank you to Kelly!!!
Brought our Cadillac CT6 there for thermostat. Figured it would be there a couple days but the got the part and were able to get the car done in one day. Love this place.
I am so happy to have found this shop. They took such great care of my vehicle and their expertise as well as their caring service delivery made the entire experience a pleasure.
I will never take my BMW anywhere else unless it’s a recall! Victory just saved me $$$$ for a job that was required ! They are the most honest and fair and if they have one available they give you a loaner !
Staff were great (shout out to Kelly), they patched my tire up quickly, and I haven't had an issue with my tire since. It was also great to learn they have an Audi master tech that could help me service my Audi in the future. 5/5 would recommend!
Eric was a wonderful and trustworthy person with whom I worked. Victory made sure that my car was safe, as well as fixing the initial problem of a dead battery. I would send any person to their business with full confidence.
This was prob definitely the best mechanic shop I’ve been too. They were very helpful! Knew I was already struggling and the manager managed to find me a new axle! And replace it on their side, without anything coming out of my pocket, and they have the best customer service and appreciate everything they did for us!
Lucky to have such a great place around the corner! Got a flat tire and managed to wobble my way over to Victory. They didn't have any appointments that day, but promised to find a moment to patch up my tire. Kind and friendly staff, Kelly and Eric, explained the process, called with a prompt follow up, and were gracious after I mistakenly inquired about a broken lug nut (wasn't broken!). The cherry on top was a bunch of treats for my pup, who came with me to pick up the car. We'll stop by again - for the treats and and for any future service.
I have never been annoyed enough to write a review in my life until today.
Dropped my car off for an oil change and gave explicit instructions to not try and lower the window, reiterating multiple times that it was broken. The employee asked if I wanted them to diagnose the issue to which I replied "No". I already know what the issue is and am waiting on the replacement part to be delivered. Ignoring my wishes, this shop took it upon themselves to do so anyways and caused the window to become partially unseated from the door panel which resulted in it falling completely into the door during my commute the following day. After spending the first hour of my work day disassembling the door panel and reseating the window I can say with certainty I will never be going back as they are incapable of adhering to the most simple of requests.
I had great service when my car lost all power they provided a towing service for me so I didn't have worry about it. I had a great turn around within 2 days I had my car back. Thw people there were very polite.
I’ve been a customer for many years now. The staff is always courteous and friendly. Whenever I have an issue with my car, they get me in quickly. I highly recommend them.
I've used them twice recently for my car. Once for a 100,000 mile service and tune up. Then again for some engine block problems. Both times, they were able to get me in right away and got my car fixed the same day. It's very convenient to have a competent auto repair shop in my neighborhood. My brother and I have used this repair shop for years.
On August 11, 2025 I checked my Car into Victory to have my AC fixed along with some other things that needed to be done, Car was ready on August 13, 2025. However a couple days later the Vehicle temp gauge moved to hot so I called on Monday the 18 and THey gladly took the car in, WHich I was thankful for, Half way through the day I got a Call from Eric and He told me what was wrong and took care of it for me. Thats great service. Thank you
Eric, Joe and the team were very helpful. Scheduling was efficient and we were able to get in quickly. Thorough inspection of my SUV was undertaken. They spent a lot more time than they likely wanted/needed to which I appreciated. This was a 2nd opinion situation as well and their assessment/feedback I felt was technically really good and I felt cared for with honesty. Will be bringing my business back here to this shop.
Joe & the team at Victory Automotive were AMAZING!! I moved my son to St Petersburg from Buffalo, NY in his 2010 Jeep Wrangler, his prize possession. Two days after we arrived it wouldn’t start. I had it towed to Victory because it is a AAA recommended shop. I know nothing about vehicles. Joe & the team worked on it the day before a long holiday weekend. My son was starting a new job soon and I was flying back home that Saturday. I was worried about leaving him without a vehicle. They diagnosed the problem, walked me through every issue, and had it back on the road that same day. I can go home with peace of mind knowing the jeep is in great shape and that we now have an excellent, dependable, honest shop to go to for any future issues. I highly recommend this shop! Thanks guys!! I truly appreciate you!!
I have been taking my car to Victory numerous times over the years and always with a very positive experience. Kelly is usually the person I discuss my car issue with initially. She amazing, knowledgeable same a true asset to the business. My repairs have always been done perfectly and in a timely manner. Their prices are reasonable especially compared to the costs at the dealership. I highly recommend them as I trust them and that is extremely important to me.
I strongly recommend AGAINST Victory Automotive. They charged me $3,000 to replace a fuel line that took over 2 weeks. While in their shop, a rat took up residence in my vehicle. Instead of taking responsibility for the damage done by the rat, they wanted to charge me $5,000 to repair it
