Our services

What actually fails, diagnosed and repaired

This is what we work on every day. If you don't see what you need, message us and we'll tell you straight if we do it.

  • Electrical diagnostics

    Scanner and point-by-point testing until we find the actual cause. We show you the reading on screen, not a list of maybes.

  • Electrical problems

    Shorts, alternator, starter, battery and wiring. We leave your car starting on the first try.

  • Dashboard warning lights

    Check engine, ABS, airbag, battery. We pull the codes and tell you what they mean on your car, not in the manual.

  • Engine problems

    Noises, smoke, overheating or a no-start. We measure first and open it up second.

  • Engine Performance

    It doesn't pull like it used to: hesitation on acceleration, rough idle, more gas than normal. We bring the performance back.

  • Transmission problems

    Slipping, hard shifts, delayed engagement or no gear at all. We diagnose before we talk about repairs.

  • Air conditioning

    Refrigerant recharge, leak detection and compressor replacement. Cold all summer long.

  • Suspension

    Shocks, bushings and ball joints. If it bounces over potholes or clunks over a speed bump, that's where it is.

General services

The routine maintenance that keeps you from coming back for something big. Call us and we'll give you a price and a time.

  • Oil change
  • Oil, air and cabin filters
  • Brakes
  • Alignment and balancing
  • Tire rotation
  • General inspection

Not sure what's wrong with your car?

Send us a message with the noise it makes or the light that came on. We'll tell you what needs checking and what it costs to find out.

How we work

You know what you'll pay before we start

Every car owner's fear is the surprise bill. That doesn't happen here: three steps, everything in writing.

  1. Tell us the symptom

    Call or text us on WhatsApp: which light came on, what noise it makes, since when. We'll set your appointment.

  2. We measure and show you

    We hook up the scanner and run the tests it needs. We show you what we found and give you the estimate in writing. The diagnostic is charged separately from the repair, and you always know the price up front.

  3. You approve, we repair

    Nothing gets touched without your go-ahead. You leave with the work done and the warranty written on your invoice.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most before bringing the car in.

Is there a charge for the diagnostic?

Yes. The diagnostic is charged separately from the repair, because it's a job in itself: hooking up the scanner, measuring and testing until we find the cause. We tell you the price before we start and, when we're done, we show you what we found. That's what keeps anyone from swapping parts just to see if that was it.

Do I need an appointment or can I just come by?

You can come by, but we recommend calling or texting us on WhatsApp to hold your spot so you don't wait. For oil changes we can usually take you right away.

What warranty do you give on repairs?

Every job comes with its warranty written on the invoice, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the parts we install. The term depends on the type of repair and we tell you before we start, not after.

How long does a repair take?

It depends on the job. An oil change takes 30 minutes, brakes 2 to 3 hours, an electrical diagnostic can take half a day, and a major engine or transmission repair, several days. We always give you an estimated time before we start.

Can I bring my own parts?

Yes, we accept customer-supplied parts. In that case the warranty covers labor only, not the part.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, credit and debit cards, Zelle and Cash App.

Do you speak English?

Yes. Our team works in English and Spanish, and we explain what's wrong with your car in plain words, without the jargon.

How far do you serve?

The shop is in Opa-locka and we take customers from all over Miami-Dade and Broward. If you're coming from far away, call ahead so we have your spot ready and you don't wait.

Do you work with insurance or fleet vehicles?

Yes, we work with several insurers and service commercial fleets at special rates. Call us for the details.
