DO NOT GO HERE. The "Manager" Raul aka R.C. scammed me on $200. I took my car in and asked for the $99 brake special. He told me I needed my entire brake system fixed. He offered to get my brakes done for a "temporary fix" until I could come up with $700 to fix my brakes the way they needed to be. He said he was a sucker for good looking women and he wanted to give me a deal. I told him all I had was 200. He charged me $197. He said my brakes would last less than a week because my calibers were destroyed. I felt scammed and pressured. Once done, I took my car home. The next day I was looking at my paperwork realizing both papers had diff amounts on them. I called another location and they said to bring in my car and the paper. I took my car in and let them look at the paperwork. The regional manager got involved. My money was returned to me, in full, and my brake system was fine, jus needed new brake pads that were FREE. and the man was in serious trouble. I was under the impression he was going to be fired.. I drove by yesterday to see the man still inside the shop. This is a shame. I have never felt so disgusted in my life from a really known business.. DO NOT GO HERE YOU WILL REGRET IT. the dude was trying to make commission off of a single mother/woman.

I had previously gotten my brakes done elsewhere and they had felt terrible. I was scared to drive in the rain because sometimes they would catch and let go and the car would keep moving. I took the car to Just Brakes and they did an excellent job, my car feels the way it used to when the brakes were fully functional. I thought the price was good for the service that I got, I did not feel they overcharge and they took care to make sure everything was working, I asked them to replace the brake pads with ceramic ones and when they did that they saw that a screw on one of the callipers was stuck and they managed to un-stick it before putting everything back together, very happy with my visit and the way the car drives.

I needed my brakes fixed about 2 years ago. So I go to "Just Brakes" because its only $99 right? "Oh this needs fixed that needs fixed. It will be $700 just for your back 2 brakes." Being the dupe I am and wanting to be safe I pay. Less than a month later on my way to work I have to pull over because my brake petal goes down to the floor and my car wont stop rolling (sick feeling). I have it towed back. All the brake fluid has leaked out. The main dude there tells me something else has gone wrong that they had nothing to do with. So much for a safety inspection. Dont go to a place for Brakes if brakes are in the name dont go to a place for tires if tires are in the name.

My family and I have been using Just Brakes for vehicle maintenance for the past 6 years. The Gulf to Bay location specifically. Ever since Nick has become the manager the store has improved to the very best location in the Tampa Bay area. Coming from an aviation background and currently working in the industry Nick applies that philosophy and unparalleled work ethic to the shop. This is the only place I feel comfortable to have a technician lay a wrench on my vehicles. Including my racecar. This review is coming from an engineers prospective and being in the automotive industry for 25 years running. These guys are the best. PERIOD

To anyone who knows myself & Nicholas. We no longer work for this company. After we put our two weeks in they decided to let us go early because they were scared an email about how the district manager here treats his employees. That is to say calling all the assistant managers thieves, foreign whomever he can to keep his job, forcing managers to work beyond their contracted hours, etch. I hold nothing against my fellow managers, but the upper management needs an overhaul in my opinion. This treatment is being allowed because they are all friends with said district manager.

Nick and Brandon were very very pleasant to do business with. They got the job done quick and fast. I recently had gone to super tires plus on US 19 and they had replaced all four tires, coming to find out that super tires put all my tires on backwards and they werent balanced or weighted properly. Nick gave me new tires and did the inspection for me and was able to tell me anything and everything wrong with the car. Very helpful and I would def recommend coming to this location on Gulf to bay if you ever have anything wrong with your car. Hes the go too guy for sure. :)

Took my car to midas for brake service. They quoted me after inspection $1100 for new brake booster, master cylinder, brake pads, caliper on passenger side, and roter also on same side. Devestated days later, i took it to Just Brakes the manager Nick, an amazing man, looked it over found out they lock tighted my caliper release bolts so i would come back. Nick, turned both roters in the front, fixed the frozen caliper and new brakes for less than $200. Thank you Just Brakes on gulf to bay for giving my life back. You have a customer for life at this location.

I have to be a witness to this shop,if you are looking for honest,friendly,and GREAT work....then go here. Nick the store manager and Brandon helped me,I had previously been to other small shops in Clearwater and told some very outrageous prices for,what I know now,Thanks Nick! was untruths about my brake situation. They charged me a fair price. AND...I went there to get an assessment for the brakes and an oil change,when Nick looked at my oil he said I will change it you want but its clean,no need. Thats a first for me. These guys ROCK!!!!

Ive been in my profession for many years. I think its refreshing that the clearwater location has a manager by the name of Nicholas. If you want honest fair pricing, this is the place. My husband and I have lived here for years and we stopped coming here because of poor management. Well were here to stay, and yes its because of Nicholas , we will always come to him. Ive been at tires plus and Toyota dealer and was told crazy prices. And then we met Nicholas. I will refer Nicholas to everyone

The first time I took my truck in for the $99 dollar break job, they told me all this other stuff was wrong and it was going to be almost $700 to fix -- They completed the break job $99. The breaks ended up having sever problems and when I went in to go have them fix their past work, they gave me a whole new list of things that were wrong, but nothing was wrong from the previous visit. NEVER EVER GO TO A JUST BREAKS!!! PAY THE LITTLE EXTRA AND HAVE A PRIVATE SHOP DO THE WORK!!!

Rick is the new manager and is awesome! He is so knowledgeable and will tell you whats wrong straight up. I love how honest he is. Hes not out just to take your money and wont tell you a bunch of BS things wrong with your car just to make a quick buck. The techs are great and I will only come here from now on! But definitely because of how fantastic Rick was. Super friendly and nice the whole time.
