Automobile Repair Tampa
A highly skilled and reliable automotive mechanic from a reputable auto service shop in Tampa is very important to have for any Tampa vehicle owner. You will need his services for proper maintenance procedures as well as auto repair or truck repair. He should be trusted for the most basic things such as auto oil change or auto AC repair as well as complicated diagnostics and serious car repairs such as engine repair, brakes repair and transmission repair. A very good automotive mechanic from a reputable auto service shop in Tampa will keep your vehicle away from towing services of tow trucks.
To find an automotive mechanic and a reputable auto service shop in Tampa that you can really trust, you should ask for referrals from your family members and good friends. They may already have their own trusted automotive mechanic and auto service shop in Tampa. If that mechanic and auto service can honor your vehicle’s existing warranties then you are in luck indeed. Otherwise, you will just have to look further.
When checking out an automotive mechanic and auto service shop, one of the first things you should look for is appropriate registration and license to operate in your area. You should also check with the local consumer protection agency for any complaints filed against the shop.
One of the good signs of a highly skilled automotive mechanic is professional technical certification. This is not a definite requirement, though. Even without any certification, an automotive mechanic that has proven his expertise will be recommended by satisfied clients. You only have to ensure that the mechanic is experienced at handling your vehicle model.
Another thing you should verify immediately with any auto service shop is pricing and costing. In certain auto service shops, a diagnostic fee or auto inspection fee is charged if you decide not to go through with the repair they are proposing. They waive this, though, once you allow them to do the work. It would be to your advantage to first shop around to compare prices of services and parts. This will prevent you from being victimized by overcharging. Include the warranties being offered in your comparisons.
Before agreeing to any repair, ask for a written and signed estimate or quotation from the auto service shop. This should include a complete description of the proposed repair job, all parts that are to be replaced, all prices of labor and parts, and the time schedule of the repair job. If any additional work needs to be done or any additional part has to be replaced that is not in this document, the auto service shop should consult you first and ask for approval before proceeding.
The written and signed estimate or quotation from the auto service shop should also include the specifications of the automotive parts to be used as replacements, whether brand new, remanufactured or simply used parts. If brand new, it should be specified if they are from the original vehicle manufacturer or a separate company. If remanufactured, the supplier company should be specified, as well. Warranties should be spelled out.
After the repair job is complete, ask the auto service shop to provide you with a comprehensive repair report that includes a complete and final description of the work done on the vehicle, the replaced parts and itemized costing of labor and parts. The vehicle’s odometer reading before and after the job should be indicated. The replaced parts should be returned with proper labeling.
Now you know how to find a worthy automotive mechanic from a reputable auto service shop in Tampa to provide you with excellent car repair or truck repair. Use this knowledge well.

For longtime fans as well as younger fans who know the industry’s history, Brisco’s name is synonymous with wrestling excellence. His long program with then-NWA world champion Dory Funk Jr. in the early 70s is considered the standard for outstanding technical wrestling.
Shortly after winning the 1965 NCAA wrestling championship at 191 pounds while at Oklahoma State, Brisco made a seamless transition from amateur to pro wrestler. Regarded as one of the greatest in-ring workers of all time, Brisco won the NWA world title – which at the time was considered the true world championship – from Harley Race in July 1973 and held it for nearly a year and a half, except for a week in December 1974 when he lost and then regained the title from Shoehei “Giant” Baba in Japan.
In addition to being a singles star in various NWA territories into the early 80s, he also formed a very successful tag team with his brother, Gerald “Jerry” Brisco. In any discussion about the greatest tag teams of all time, the Briscos and the Funks (Terry and Dory Jr.) are often the first two mentioned. The Briscos had a classic feud against Rick Steamboat and Jay Youngblood over the NWA world tag team title in 1983, culminating in a match at the inaugural Starrcade that was billed just below the NWA world title match between Race and Ric Flair.
The Brisco brothers also played a huge role behind the scenes in changing the course of wrestling history. In 1984, Jack and Jerry gained a majority interest in Georgia Championship Wrestling and sold the company to Vince McMahon, which resulted in the WWF taking over the coveted 6:05 p.m. Saturday time slot on SuperStation TBS. A year later, McMahon sold the slot to Jim Crockett Promotions.
In the 1970s, the Briscos discovered a twenty-something blonde-haired muscleman in Florida who was interested in becoming a pro wrestler. The young man’s name was Terry Bollea. They referred him to trainer Hiro Matsuda, and Bollea eventually became the biggest star in wrestling history as Hulk Hogan.
Having grown up in Baltimore, a traditional WWWF/WWF city, I only got to see Jack Brisco wrestle in person on a couple occasions, although I knew about him from wrestling magazines. When I began following wrestling, Brisco, Bruno Sammartino (WWWF) and Verne Gagne (AWA) were the three world champions.
I was excited the first time I actually got to see the legendary Brisco in action. It was April 1984 at The Baltimore Arena shortly after the Georgia territory began expanding into the Northeast. Brisco was in the main event, challenging another superstar who I had never seen in person until that night for the NWA world title – Flair.
After the Briscos had cut the deal with McMahon for the sale of Georgia Championship Wrestling in the summer of ’84, the Briscos came to the WWF as a tag team later that year, and I saw them unsuccessfully challenge then-WWF tag team champions Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis at the Arena.
Jack Brisco retired not long after that at 43. According to The Wrestling Observer, while the Briscos were wrestling in the WWF in late ’84, there was a blizzard in the Northeast and Jack told his brother that he was flying home and calling it a career. He never wrestled again.
The Briscos were inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008, and Jack also is a member of The Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame and the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum.
I extend my condolences to Brisco’s family and friends.
