About R&D Auto Service

R&D Auto Service is an auto repair shop in St. Petersburg, Florida. It is listed at 2763 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33713, which places it among the local businesses of St. Petersburg that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In St. Petersburg, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Florida vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 9 am–5:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (727) 321-4171. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 131 reviews, which is a strong result for an auto repair shop in St. Petersburg and suggests consistent service.

My “go to” guys! Dave and Ryan and their team are exceptional. I highly recommend their shop. They are fair, honest, kind, and professional. I wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else. Small or large problems, these guys will take care of you. Thank you R&D Auto for being my trusted automotive shop.

They did such a great job on my car- I had some repairs needed on the front bumper and it also needed some painting done in some spots and it looks as good as new! Thank you thank you! Recommend this place. They do a fantastic job and reasonably priced too.

Great service. Pulled in by their shop by chance on Wednesday after my steering wheel locked up on the freeway. Dave helped me maneuver my car into their shop. The team diagnosed and fixed my car by the next day, including oil change and repairing my headlight. They got me in and out at a very good price.

Had to have my vehicle towed to the nearest repair shop, don't know any on the area so I chose this shop; just for my car to break down less than 5 miles from the shop after paying $427 for an alternator repair (outrageous in itself) ; they come pick it up, put a jump box on my hood and drove it back to the shop damaging my vehicle, when I called to complain they said sende a letting of intent to sue. When he returned my vehicle to my son in law as my fiance died the day the car broke down they backed it up to him so he didn't see the damage until he got home. DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS

I had a great experience with R & D Auto Repair from start to finish. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, clearly explaining what was going on with my vehicle and what needed to be done, also provided different options in parts making sure I got the best prices. The service itself was excellent. My car is driving better than when I bought it. Dave and Ryan was professional, honest, and efficient, and the work was completed in a timely manner. It’s clear they take pride in both their craftsmanship and their customer service. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for reliable repairs and clear communication, and I’ll definitely be returning for future maintenance.
