What our customers say
“I wish I could give them more than 5 ⭐️ I cannot say enough good things about this company. Lawton and Tiffany are the best! While their specialty is working and doing custom builds on Jeeps, they sure do know there way around other vehicles as well. I brought in my 2010 Subaru for a once over, they were very up front with what I needed and didn’t try to just make a quick buck off me. They are very thorough. They always kept me updated on the process of my repairs and answered any question I had. I will bring any vehicle I have in the future to them. In a world where companies try to rip people off, it’s a breath of fresh air to find a family owned business where they test you like family! THANKS AGAIN LAWTON AND TIFFANY!”View on Google
“Superior helped us with an oil cooler repair & spark plug replacement that a dealership was trying to charge us a fortune for. Fair prices, quality work, and excellent communication. I have been recommending them to anyone who needs something done!!”View on Google
“Best in the business! These guys are incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to Jeeps, but they do top-notch work on all cars and trucks too. Honest, skilled, and fast—highly recommend!”View on Google
“Definitely take your Jeep or any vehicle for that fact here. They are very dedicated to make sure your vehicle is fixed and fixed correctly. They are great giving updates everyday and if you have any questions they will clearly explain or even put your vehicle up on the lift and walk you through what’s going on.”View on Google
“Honest and quality work! Lawton and his crew go above and beyond for their customers! Highly recommend for all your mechanical and tire needs!”View on Google
“About a month ago, my new to me Wrangler JLU developed a true death wobble. I called multiple shops, and was feeling defeated, then reached out to Superior. With Lawton and the team at Superior Auto & Offroad. They diagnosed my Jeep's death wobble the right way instead of just throwing parts at it. Lawton took the time to test drive it, explain exactly what was wrong, and only recommended what actually needed to be fixed. Fair pricing, honest advice, and excellent workmanship. My Wrangler has since completed a 4-day road trip and multiple trails without a single issue. They've earned my business for the long haul. Highly recommend.”View on Google
“The entire crew at Superior Offroad was incredible to work with. Their professionalism, communication, and commitment to surpassing their customer’s expectations is second to none. I met with multiple shops during the research phase of my upgrades, and none went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I wanted for my Jeep like Lawton and Tiff did. The work was thorough, on time, and very fairly and competitively priced. This shop is 100% worth the hour+ drive I make from south Tampa, and I would highly recommend Superior Offroad to anyone thinking of upgrades or service to their vehicle.”View on Google

“It’s in the name. Superior knowledge on how to build your Jeep to real off-roading capabilities. They’ll do mall crawlers and pavement princesses too but there’s plenty of other shops out there that that’s all they’re good for. Well, not really, you’ll end up having to go to Superior to fix their mistakes. Lol. Also, great at diagnosing engine issues and all things suspension/steering. The best in the Tampa/central Florida area bar none. Don’t waste your time or $ anywhere else.”View on Google
“I had to have my jeep towed to their shop on a weekend. Their team contacted me early Monday and kept me updated on the diagnostics. Within less than a week, they completed not only a ton of front end work we had already planned on, but …”Read the full review on Google
“By far the best I have ever been to, the most honest, up front, doesn't beat around the bush kinda place. The only shop that will touch our Jeep and Grandpa Truck”View on Google
“Superior Offroad is a great shop they diagnosed a few issues my Jeep was having right before a big trip out west and got me up and running just in time not to miss out.”View on Google
“I can’t say enough great things about Superior Off-Road! They took my Jeep to the next level by installing a lift and adding some beastly 42-inch tires. Not only does it look absolutely amazing, but the ride is smoother and more capable than ever. They also went above and beyond with their service and made sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking to upgrade your off-road vehicle, these are the folks to trust. Thanks again, Superior Off-Road!”View on Google

Why Superior
Honest work, done right the first time
Owner Lawton Strong has been turning wrenches since 2005, and that experience shows up on every job. We find the real problem, explain your options in plain language, and stand behind every job we do. We don't aim to be the cheapest. We aim to be the best.
Good repair work starts with good communication. Before anything is replaced, you'll know what we found, why it matters and what it will take. If something can safely wait, we'll tell you that too, so you can plan for it instead of being surprised by it later.
- Clear, honest recommendations: what needs doing now and what can wait
- Proper diagnostics instead of guesswork
- Quality parts that meet or exceed OE standards
- Updates while your vehicle is in the shop
- Post-installation alignment on all lift and suspension work

Jeep & off-road specialists
Off-road is where we started, and it's still a specialty. Lift and leveling kits, gears and lockers, wheel and tire packages, and full custom builds for Jeeps, trucks and SUVs, installed and aligned right.
Every build starts with a conversation about how you actually drive: daily commuting, towing, weekend trails or all three. We plan the lift, tire size, gearing and steering together so the vehicle still rides well, stops well and tracks straight on the highway. Every lift and suspension job gets a post-installation alignment, and we source the parts ourselves so fitment and warranty coverage stay on track.
FAQ
Common questions
What makes and models do you work on?
All of them. We service cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, work vans and Jeeps, domestic and import, from routine oil changes to engine and drivetrain repair.
How do I book an appointment?
Book online and pick an open time on our live shop schedule, or call 863-445-4596 during business hours. You can also send a request and we'll call you to set a time.
Why do you ask for my VIN?
Your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number tells us the exact year, engine and options, so we can look up the right parts and specifications before you arrive. It's on the driver-side dashboard, the driver's door jamb, and your registration or insurance card.
What are your hours?
Monday through Thursday 8 AM to 5 PM, and Friday 8 AM to 2 PM. We're closed Saturday and Sunday.
Do you only work on Jeeps and off-road vehicles?
No. Off-road builds are a specialty, but most of our work is everyday maintenance and repair on all makes and models: oil changes, brakes, A/C, batteries, tires and check engine lights.
What areas do you serve?
Customers come to us from across Lakeland, the surrounding area and beyond, including Tampa, as well as Lakeland and the Polk County communities around it: Winter Haven, Auburndale, Bartow, Plant City, Mulberry, Haines City and Lake Wales.
Will you call before doing extra work?
Yes. We explain what we found and what your options are before any work begins, and nothing moves forward without your approval.
Can I bring my own parts?
We don't install customer-supplied parts. Sourcing parts ourselves keeps fitment, reliability and warranty coverage on track.
Do you service fleet and work vehicles?
Yes. We maintain work trucks and vans for local businesses, from a single truck to a whole fleet, with preventive maintenance scheduled around your workload.
