Tampa Bay is truck country. From the beach communities of Clearwater and St. Petersburg to the inland ranches and construction corridors of Lakeland and Plant City, trucks are a way of life here. And when owners across the region want serious truck customization in the Tampa Bay area, they drive to Redline Auto Creations.
Our shop sits at 11626 N Florida Ave in Tampa, centrally located and easy to reach from anywhere in the greater Tampa Bay metro. Here's a look at how we serve the truck community across this region and why owners from every corner of the Bay make the drive.
Tampa Bay stretches roughly 60 miles from Clearwater Beach on the Gulf side to Lakeland inland, and about 40 miles from New Tampa in the north to Bradenton in the south. Our Florida Avenue location sits near the geographic center of this area, making it accessible from virtually any direction.
From Clearwater and the beaches: A straight shot east on SR 60 or the Courtney Campbell Causeway puts you at our door in 35 to 45 minutes. Many of our beach-side customers drop their trucks off in the morning and Uber to work in downtown Tampa while we work.
From St. Petersburg: Cross the Howard Frankland Bridge, head north on I-275, and you're at our shop in 30 to 40 minutes. We have a strong customer base in St. Pete, particularly among the boating community who need lifted trucks with proper towing setups for boat ramp access. here
From Brandon, Riverview, and South Shore: Hop on I-75 north to I-275 or take US-41, and you're here in 25 to 35 minutes. The Brandon area has one of the highest concentrations of lifted trucks in the Bay, and we see a steady stream of customers from these neighborhoods.
From Lakeland and Plant City: East Hillsborough and Polk County are home to working trucks—ranch trucks, construction trucks, and farm trucks that need functional modifications, not just aesthetics. The 45-minute drive on I-4 is worth it for our customers who need lift kits that can handle payload, lighting for early-morning ranch work, and armor that protects against the kind of damage real work dishes out.
From Wesley Chapel and New Tampa: North on Florida Avenue or a quick I-275 hop brings you to our shop in 15 to 20 minutes. The Wesley Chapel and Pasco County corridor is booming with new truck owners who want to personalize their rides, and we're the closest full-service custom truck shop to these communities.
The types of builds we do vary across the region, and that diversity is part of what makes our work interesting:
Street trucks and show builds dominate our work from the Tampa urban core, South Tampa, and St. Petersburg. These owners want blacked-out packages, custom wheels, performance exhaust, and clean aesthetics. here
Trail and off-road builds come heavily from the northern and eastern parts of the Bay—Land O' Lakes, Zephyrhills, Plant City—where owners have access to trails, hunting leases, and rural property that demands capable vehicles. Lift kits, armor, winches, and trail lighting are the backbone of these builds. here
Work truck modifications are popular among customers from Lakeland, East Tampa, and the construction-heavy corridors along US-301. These owners need functional upgrades: heavy-duty bumpers, LED work lights, tonneau covers, and suspension that handles daily payload without sagging. here
Towing-focused builds are especially common among our Clearwater and Pinellas County customers who tow boats. Proper hitch setups, brake controllers, weight distribution hitches, and suspension upgrades that handle tongue weight without squatting are standard requests.
There are wheel and tire shops on every other block in Tampa Bay. What makes the drive to Redline worth it?
Full-service capability. We don't just mount wheels. We plan and execute complete builds that include suspension, lighting, audio, armor, exhaust, and fabrication. Every modification is considered in context of the total vehicle, not as an isolated part swap.
Brand partnerships. With 100+ brand partnerships including Road Armor, Rockslide Engineering, Artec, and Currie, we have access to the parts that matter—and we know which ones actually perform because we've installed them hundreds of times.
Experience. 61+ full vehicle builds and 149+ satisfied customers means we've worked through virtually every challenge that truck customization presents. There are very few situations we haven't encountered before.
Honest guidance. We'll talk you out of a bad idea before we'll sell you a part you don't need. Our business is built on repeat customers and referrals, not one-time transactions.
