Before I moved to Miami, I lived in Los Angeles and use to go to a female auto mechanic who owned her own shop. She was fantastic. She was so popular and had such a great reputation (mainly because she was never out to rip people off), that you had to get to her shop by 7:30 am in order to have a chance to get your car looked at.
When I left LA and moved to MIA, two of my biggest concerns were: how was I going to find a great hairstylist and an honest auto mechanic. Well, I was referred to North Miami Auto by a neighbor and went there not having high hopes because I've been ripped-off in the past by auto mechanics.
Let me start off by saying that Luis, the shop owner, is a great guy. He's not only honest, but he's good at explaining why/what repairs are necessary, if any. He takes the time to make sure you understand. The guys that work for him are just as great, too. These guys are not only honest but they do a great job.
I've been going to this place for over 3 years now and I have a 12-year old car that is still in great shape. I always make sure to keep up on all maintenance and I wouldn't take my car any other place. I work in Ft. Lauderdale and drive pass dozens of auto mechanic shops just to take my car to North Miami Auto. This place is the best!... now, if I can only find a great hairstylist.
