I pulled in on Feb 6th with a flat tire just hoping they might be able to fit us in and take a look. Not only did they take us in within FIVE minutes they found the hole and plugged the tire for FREE! Now that is a business I would like to support. The guy working at the counter was very friendly and responsive and helpful:) Thank You

Under new management? Prices have doubled and the customer service is the worst I have experienced in Tampa. I recently had my air conditioning recharged and it is still blowing hot air. I was told they should have tested the lines and now it's probably a bigger problem. It's so chaotic in the office, it feels like you are doing them a favor to be spoken to. Well, after 4 years of doing business with them, time to find my new mechanic!

Dropped my car off for an oil change and to check my tires/sensors due to tire message and having to put air in my tires every other day. My oil change has doubled in price and they failed to address the tire situation telling me the tire light was not on. I asked over the phone did they check I was placed on hold only to be told tire situation was fine. As soon as I turned my car on the first message on the screen was check tire pressure. Never again the customer service is totally gone from this place, for prices I will take my car to the dealership or Westshore automotive like I have previously with no issues. Must be new ownership or something.

I bought a tire from this place my car has a bubble in the side of the tire . The car has not hit the curb or pot hole other company that replaced my tire said it looked like a defect but When I called lightning auto they wanted me to spend to buy another tire and they would send the defect tire to get checked I might get a refund if not I would be out the money for a new tire . Which I found is priced more expensive than other companies .... But today I got a called threatening me since I disputed the charge Josh threatened me say but say he would put my car on a mechanic lien. When I called the first time they didn't want to help at all ... they just wanted me to buy a new tire .... This is the msg from Josh Be careful everyone!!!!!!!!!

Great auto repair shop with good communication and fast turnaround time. I needed my radiator filler neck replaced. O'Reillys sold me the part, but their guys couldn't do the replacement in their parking lot and limited tools, so they sent me to Lightning. LIghtning was happy to perform the service as well as a tune up of the car. They gave a good estimate, and then they called me when the work was done and an assessment of other services overdue. I'd happily return.
