Proudly Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, Sarasota

More than a detail. It’s your vehicle’s moment to feel luxury.

At T-Fat’s Auto Spa, car care is more than a service, it’s an experience. Founded by retired NFL athlete TJ Fatinikun, our company was built with the same discipline, precision, and relentless pursuit of excellence it takes to compete at the highest level. From humble beginnings in a two-bay tent on westshore & North B, we’ve grown into Tampa’s trusted destination for premium detailing, paint protection film, ceramic coatings, window tinting, and concierge mobile services.

We treat every vehicle like game day, where preparation and execution matter. Whether protecting an exotic car with a full PPF install or giving a family SUV a flawless concierge detail, our team delivers with championship level focus. That commitment has made us a 5-star rated brand, recognized by Tampa Magazine’s Best Detailer Award, and trusted by clients who expect nothing less than excellence.
