Auto Repair in Sarasota

Since opening their first auto shop back in 1972, the staff and crew of University Tires Plus have worked closely with customers to outfit their vehicles with quality tires from the likes of Bridgestone and Goodyear. Now, with more than 500 stores spanning 23 states, they also service brakes, accomplish tune-ups, and fix heating and cooling systems. Battery problems and damage caused by potholes or driving through thumbtack stores don't befuddle them, either, with much of their work and tire sales backed by warranties.

Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. Meineke Car Care Center's mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.
