For nearly five decades, families throughout Brandon, FishHawk, Riverview and the surrounding communities have trusted Clarke Automotive to take care of their vehicles — and to treat them like people, not numbers.

Our Story Began in 1978

Bob Clarke originally entered the automotive industry while attending college, taking a part-time job repairing cars to help pay for school. What started as a practical decision quickly became a passion. After graduating, Bob knew he could not leave the industry behind, and Clarke Automotive was born.

Years later, Bob's son Matt followed a similar path. After attending college himself, Matt found that his place was back at the shop, working alongside his father and learning the values that built the business: do the job right, communicate clearly and earn the customer's trust.

Today, Clarke Automotive continues as a second-generation family business, combining those same values with modern diagnostic equipment, ongoing technical training and a team committed to quality workmanship.

Old-Fashioned Values. Modern Automotive Repair.

Vehicles have changed dramatically since Clarke Automotive first opened its doors. Our approach to taking care of customers has not. We believe good automotive service begins with understanding the problem, explaining it clearly and recommending what the vehicle actually needs.

A Reputation Built One Customer at a Time

Nearly five decades in business does not happen by accident. It comes from showing up every day, doing quality work and treating people fairly. We are grateful for the generations of customers who have trusted Clarke Automotive and recommended us to their families and friends.
