About Tim Brittain
Owner, head mechanic, and the guy who actually answers the phone.
Tim Brittain
When you bring your car to Tim's Automotive, you're not handing your keys to a service writer who relays your problem to an anonymous technician in the back. You're talking directly to Tim Brittain — the owner, the mechanic, and the person ultimately responsible for your vehicle's repair.
Tim built this shop on a simple principle: treat every customer's car the way you'd want your own car treated. That means honest diagnosis, transparent pricing, and repairs done right the first time. No upselling. No unnecessary work. Just straight talk and quality craftsmanship.
His passion runs deep into American automotive history. He's owned, driven, and worked on classics ranging from a show-quality 1954 Corvette to a powder-blue 1957 Ford Thunderbird. When he's not in the shop, Tim is often found at car shows or working on classic vehicles in the community.
From the Shop to the Track
Tim's passion for automotive performance extends beyond the repair bay. Tim's Automotive has been a proud racing sponsor, with the shop's name appearing on the hood of a NASCAR-level Toyota Camry race car at competitive events across the country.
That racing involvement isn't just marketing — it reflects Tim's deep understanding of how vehicles perform under stress, the importance of reliability, and the precision required when failure isn't an option. Those same standards apply to every repair that leaves his shop.
Tim's team has celebrated National Championship wins and understands what it takes to build and maintain vehicles that perform at the highest level.
A Family-Oriented Shop
Tim's shop feels different from most garages in Vero Beach — and that's entirely intentional. It's a place where customers are greeted by name, where the waiting area has free WiFi, and where nobody walks out feeling confused or taken advantage of. The shop is wheelchair accessible, and appointments are recommended so Tim can give each vehicle the time it deserves.
