Family-owned since 2011. Three bays, eight mechanics, and zero tolerance for unnecessary repairs.
Gulf Coast Auto Works started in a single bay on Gulf Boulevard with one lift and a commitment to honest work. Fourteen years later, we've grown to a full-service shop — but the philosophy hasn't changed: fix what's broken, explain what isn't, and never sell a repair you don't need.
When Solena Digital rebuilt our website with online booking and optimized our Google Business Profile across 40+ directories, we went from invisible to the #1 map result in Tampa Bay.
Every mechanic on our team is ASE certified. Every repair comes with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty. And every customer gets a digital inspection report with photos before we turn a wrench.
