About Us
Tampa’s Trusted Automotive Partner Since 1953
Our Story
Seven Decades of Service Excellence
McLeod’s Auto Service opened its doors in 1953 with a simple mission: provide honest, reliable automotive care to the Tampa community. What started as a small neighborhood garage has grown into one of Tampa’s most trusted auto repair shops, serving three generations of local families.
Our founder established the business on principles that still guide us today – treat every customer with respect, provide transparent pricing, and never recommend unnecessary repairs. These values have earned us a reputation that spans over 70 years and continues to grow through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers.
A True Tampa Institution
For more than seven decades, we’ve watched Tampa grow and change around us. We’ve serviced everything from classic American cars of the 1950s to today’s modern vehicles with advanced computer systems. Through it all, our commitment to quality service and honest business practices has never wavered.
As Tampa has evolved, so have we. We’ve continuously updated our equipment, expanded our expertise, and adapted to new automotive technologies – all while maintaining the personal touch and community focus that has made us a Tampa institution.
Our Philosophy
Built on Trust and Integrity
At McLeod’s Auto Service, we believe automotive repair should be straightforward and honest. When you bring your vehicle to us, we provide:
Transparent Communication – We explain what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed, and what can wait. No confusing technical jargon or pressure tactics.
Fair Pricing – Our estimates are detailed and honest. We believe in competitive pricing without compromising quality.
Quality Workmanship – Every repair is performed to manufacturer specifications using quality parts and proven techniques.
Respectful Service – We treat every customer and every vehicle with the same care and attention, regardless of the make, model, or age.
Our Team
Experienced Professionals You Can Trust
Our team of certified technicians brings decades of combined experience to every job. We invest in ongoing training to stay current with the latest automotive technologies and repair techniques. But more importantly, we share the same values that have defined McLeod’s for over 70 years – honesty, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping our customers.
Each member of our team takes pride in their work and understands that your vehicle is more than just a machine – it’s your connection to work, family, and the life you’ve built in Tampa. We treat it with the care and respect it deserves.
Our Community
Proud to Serve Tampa
As a locally-owned business, we’re deeply connected to the Tampa community. We understand the unique challenges of driving in Florida – from the intense summer heat that tests your air conditioning to the sudden afternoon storms that demand reliable brakes and tires.
Many of our customers have been with us for decades, and we’ve had the privilege of servicing multiple generations of Tampa families. There’s nothing quite like the trust that comes from a customer saying, “My father brought his cars here, and now I bring mine.”
We’re not just your auto repair shop – we’re your neighbors, and we’re invested in keeping Tampa’s drivers safe and mobile.
