North on U.S. 19, across the county line, then Mile Stretch
The sponge docks, Dodecanese Boulevard, Pinellas Avenue (Alt 19), and East Tarpon Avenue are in Pinellas County. Five Star Auto Repair is not. The shop is across the county line in Holiday, at 5334 Mile Stretch Dr. From the docks or downtown Tarpon, take U.S. 19 north — past the Anclote River and into Pasco — then turn east on Mile Stretch Drive. Coming up Alt 19, stay north until you can cut over to 19, then the same Mile Stretch turn. Look for mailbox 5334, the yellow 5 STAR AUTO roof sign, white brick, and the red roll-up doors. Pull into the lot in front of the building. We will not print a Tarpon Springs street address we do not have.
What Tarpon drivers actually book in Holiday
Calls from Tarpon are usually a daily driver that needs brakes before a weekend, a check-engine light after the Anclote bridge, A/C that quit in the Gulf humidity, or an oil and filter before a long stretch of 19. Light work vans and company cars are fine if they still fit a 1-ton chassis. Not heavy-duty, not class 6–8. People already make this trip because it is a straight shot and a quieter write-up than sitting at a packed dealer — no-commission, family owned, Andrew Cahill on the phone at 727-942-2733.
Pickup and the courtesy shuttle are on the table if you do not want to leave a car in Holiday all day. Same-day when parts and the board allow — we will not promise a 3:00 return if the part is still on a truck. Digital photos can go to a phone that stayed in Tarpon.
Hours match the Google listing: Monday–Friday 7:30 AM–6:00 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM–3:00 PM, Sunday closed. Financing, if you want it, is Sunbit and Affirm only — ask at the Holiday counter. Reviews live on Google; this site does not invent stars. The map pin is 5334 Mile Stretch Dr, Holiday, FL 34690 — never a Pinellas lot.
Saturday from Tarpon Springs
If a weekday run up 19 is impossible, Saturday is 10:00 AM–3:00 PM. Call 727-942-2733 first so the board has the car. Sunday the shop is closed. Directions to Mile Stretch.
