Anybody know a good auto repair shop in Tampa FL?

I've decided it's probably not a good idea to drive 350 miles to diagnose and fix a Nissan Rouge in a random parking lot in Tampa right now.  Anybody know a decent auto repair shop I can get this thing towed to?

Can you be more specific about Tampa,  Says trans but they do all work, good, honest guys

The car is on East 4th ave near Ybor City.  All I know about the area is there's an IKEA somewhere nearby.

That's probably 20 miles/30 minutes from the shop I listed but I don't know anyone in that Ybor area.  And yes, it is close to IKEA :-)

I'm friends with a manager of a Pep Boys.  I generally don't recommend them, but I recommend his store if you mention me.  Only thing is they've had some turnover recently so I'm not sure if they have someone actually available for diagnostics right now.

What are the symptoms?  I can get a recommendation from him on where to go if nothing else.

I'm told it needs a CV axle and a motor mount, I haven't laid eyes on the vehicle to know for sure. TBH i don't trust the diagnosis, for all I know the CVT is toast and theres a rod through the side of the block.  It's not drivable right now so the need for the tow.

Thanks!  Ordinarily i'd take some time off work and tackle it myself, but with everything going on now just ain't a good time for me to deal with it.

If that is the diagnosis, then my friend should be able to take care of it.

Where are the keys? Someone local might be able to go take a quick look?

Daughter in Tampa has the keys, i just get to fix it and pay the bill..  I'll have to find out what her work schedule is like to see when she would be available.

At my last job I was working with a lot of repair shops all over the country.  In Tampa I had good luck with Christian Brothers, they were somewhere towards the north side of the airport.
