Larry Grella Automotive - Clearwater (FL)

5 /5 Pat Morris: I feel a trusted, knowledgeable mechanic is one of the most valuable assets you can have as a car owner and Larry and his team fill this requirement for me. Larry cares for his clients and makes their safety a priority. He is skilled at assessing what is needed, and professional with his execution. All, with a smile!

5 /5 James: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The owner Larry is a phenomenal human being he will look you in your eyes and shake your hand he is like the handy uncle you wish you had. His entire crew was very professional, Larry and Art are amazing! They went above and beyond to help me fix my 1995 GMC C1500. Most shops and technicians struggle with older vehicles, but these guys treated my truck with the utmost respect. They not only fixed the issues I knew about but also took care of things I didn’t even realize needed attention. The service was top-notch, they treated me fairly, and the price was more than reasonable. I highly recommend this place – 10/10 stars!

1 /5 Jess Casal: WORST PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CAR TO!!!!!! i took my car in for a check engine light that is all i wanted fixed. I was told i needed a timing due to the check engine readings. I was told $1,700 then later that day told $ 2,100 and 2 days later told $4,700 this was in Dec right before christmas. I am a single mom of 6 and 2 have disabilities. I need my SUV to get my daughter and her wheelchair around. With the prices that kept changing i decided not to use Larry due to i did not think he felt comfortable with the job at hand. My daughter had used him in the past and he talked her into a new motor and transmission on a 05 buick that is falling apart. I should have known better. I asked to get my car back was charged over $800 for NOTHING!!!!!! I took my car to another shop to do the sed timing and was informed i not had so much silicone in my motor and missing gaskets that they did not feel comfortable with just doing a timing because the parts missing and the excessive amount of silicone the motor could blow and i would then need a new one. So i had to get a new motor from the second shop now my bill went from $1,700 to $9,000!!!! WHEN ALL I WANTED WAS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF!!!! the new motor was put in and guess what my check engine light still on!! Larry should have listened to me in the first place AND JUST FOCUSED on the check engine light but no and here i am in Feb still do not have my car to drive missed doing things with my kids for christmas which i take them places every year and i am out all of this money and Larry does not think he should be responsible for any of it. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS MAN! Pictures of missing gaskets!!! Larry did this!!! Larry owes me!!!!! So not take your car to them. His final cost was$4700!!!! Hes lying trying to make himself sound good. Larry should pay for some of what Im going through!!!. Here is a picture of the original reason autozone said my check engine light came on

5 /5 steven mucciarone: Larry and his family are the best team to have working on your car. My car had some serious issues going on, I called several people to get quotes and Larry not only gave me the best price but also the best car service. Great communication and a level of care that goes unmatched. Best mechanics in the area by a long shot.

5 /5 Gina T.: If you’re looking for an honest mechanic who is upfront about repairs and cost then I highly recommend Larry Grella Automotive! He takes care of our 2000 Jeep and 2011 Avalanche and he is more than thorough as well as very clear as to the why and how of what is needed to remedy the problem. He gives you an estimate upfront and has never done additional work without speaking with us first. You won’t be disappointed!
