OUR ORIGIN STORY

T-Fat’s Auto Spa began with a tent, two bays, and a bold belief that car care could be done differently. Founded by former Tampa Bay Buccaneer TJ Fatinikun right outside a Citgo gas station on Westshore Blvd, the company quickly earned a reputation for elite service and unmatched attention to detail. What started as a grind turned into a go-to for Tampa’s luxury car owners. Today, T-Fat’s is more than a detail shop,  it’s a lifestyle brand built on excellence, protection, and pride.

  • “Everyone that works at T-Fat’s is so nice and professional. My car comes back so clean and their attention to detail is always so impressive. I recommend this company 100%”

  • "They took an. 2007 911 Porsche made it look brand new. Experience was amazing"

    Ralph

  • “TFat’s AutoSpa was the best decision I made for the care of my vehicles. The attention to detail is unreal and you really feel that the crew treats each detail as if they were washing their own. You can’t go wrong with this decision. Shoutout to David - appreciate you, 100% TJ - you’ve got a solid team!”

WHAT DEFINES US

We Build Leaders — Not Employees

This is more than a job. It’s a launchpad.

We train you, develop you, and give you the tools to grow, whether that means becoming a lead, a manager, a trainer, or a future partner as we expand.

We grow from within because legacy is built by those who helped lay the bricks.

One Band. One Sound. One Standard.

We move with unity and accountability.

Every detail matters. Every action impacts the team.

When one person levels up, the entire squad rises.

This is the same mentality seen on elite teams and high-performance organizations — everyone pulling in the same direction.

Hospitality Is Our Standard

We take the work seriously, but we treat people even better.

Here, you learn how to communicate clearly, anticipate needs, deliver under pressure, and create trust in seconds.

This is the T-FAT’S advantage:

Professionalism without ego, excellence without attitude, and consistency powered by care.

We Serve With Integrity

Every car, every client, every interaction is handled with respect and intentionality.

We listen, we execute, we overdeliver, because our work reflects our character.

This is why T-FAT’S is Tampa’s trusted name in luxury automotive care.

Our Vision

T-FAT’S is more than an auto spa.

We’re creating a place where young men and women grow into leaders.

A culture where discipline and opportunity meet.
