Tubby's Custom Inc 6025 49th Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709

"I was disappointed with Tubbys. I took my 1973 Nova SS there for a stalling out issue. I agreed to 10 hrs. of labor @ $105/hr, and was to be contacted if the repairs exceeded that price. The receptionist did call me and tell me my car was running great, but my brakes and suspension needed some repairs. I agreed due to the fact there was no mention of extra cost of labor and assumed it was within the 10 hr time-frame. Then one of the mechanics called and said my car was running great, but my harmonic balancer was on it's way out, at that point he said my bill would be $2,34.00. I agreed because if my car really was running great it would be worth it. When I picked up my car I didn't even get out of the parking lot and it stalled out. I assumed it had not been driven much and needed to warm up, this wasn't the case. It broke down on the way home ~2 miles. I had it towed to my house. I let tubbys know the situation and they sent a tow truck to pick it up and "fix it right" . Again I pick it up, they charged me another $315.00 and it began backfiring I immediately parked it, and it wouldn't start back up. I had a friend look at it, he replaced the distributor coil and it's ran like a champ ever since. I went to tubbys to tell them about the situation. They were nice about it, and admitted to a lack of communication. And gave me $400 back, which I appreciate. I don't think they did anything harmful intentional, I think they have way too many different people working on the same car, also there was 2 other cars very similar to mine there. And I think there may have been some confusion because of that as well. So, unfortunately I will not be taking my car back there. If you take your car there, I suggest a written estimate to be signed to allow the work to be done. They are nice people, I wish I had a better experience."

"Talented techs but bad owners. Worked really hard here for about two weeks and never got paid. Lots of graveyard cars not getting touched for years here too"

"Professionals through and through. Attention to detail and technical know how are in abundance here. Tubby's will take your ride in no matter what condition it's in, restore it to showroom quality glory. They restored my 1967 Bronco from the brink of disaster and turned it into a masterpiece."

"I had several spots of rust repaired by Tubby's. Prior to the visit, I spoke with them regarding the scope of work, the budget, and the level of finish. Scheduled me for a couple weeks out, was no problem. The work was done about a week quicker than expected and more spots were fixed than I anticipated. Couldn't recommend them enough. I still have a few more areas that need to get taken care of and will be doing so at Tubby's."

"If you like hotrods, racecars and classic cars and trucks, this is the place to get your pride and joy dialed in. A talented bunch of gearhead technicians & fabricators. Robert is the best painters in the county."
