Radiator repair service near Hollywood, FL

We are family owned and operated for 15 years in Pompano Beach / Fort Lauderdale / Broward County, FL and 30+ years in NJ. We specialize in high performance and classic car transmissions as well as your daily driver. We stock a plentiful number of Chevy 700R4 (and Chevy 700R4 / 4L60 / 4L60E / 4L65E 's) as well as Ford AODE and 4R70W transmissions. Ron has been building and repairing transmissions since he was 15 and it has become a way of life for him. He basically eats and sleeps transmissions. We specialize in classic and high performance cars but also do the daily driver, pick ups and work trucks, work vans etc. . We have made "Honesty is the best policy" our motto because in this business alot of the well known transmission shops will charge you an arm and a leg for the job when it reality it may be half the price. They may charge you for parts that they are not even installing in your vehicle. They have to consider major overhead and believe me after the strories I have heard 50% of past customers have come to us after getting a price and find ourt we can do the job for half the price and offer a longer guarantee. We strive to besure to make and keep our customers happy, afterall word of mouth is the best advertising! We also offer rides home when you leave your car. (Within reason - Broward County)

First they forgot the two appointments I had made. One on a Sunday they forgot, then the Monday lunchtime for an oil change. After two apologies they did the oil change and filter on Tuesday. They kept stressing how I required, "a full car checkup for only $25". I declined. I drove home and checked the oil. A good portion of it was over the engine, as they had not screwed the oil filler cap down enough. 2 days later I went back and told them and also mentioned that the transmission was shifting erratically and they stressed how important a full car checkup would be at this point and how they could do a full service on the transmission, although I had had NO problems till this point. I went elsewhere and the vacuum hose leading to the shifter actuator on the side of the transmission had been removed and neatly coiled up on the side of the engine. I thought about going in swinging to the mental midget who runs the place, but realised it would not do anything. These jokers should not be allowed to be in business. Please avoid them at all costs.

I want second opinion, and repair or used replacement

Fernando, his father, and the entire team were some of the most professional people I've dealt with in the auto industry. They were honest, and went out of their way to ensure that my car was in perfect working order. Plus they helped find parts for a fraction of the dealer cost.

Ron and Mike at Dr Brakes in Coral Springs provide top notch mechanical and auto repair service.

Go ANYWHERE ELSE! On Friday (5 days ago), I paid $566 (tax inc), for both rear wheel bearings and hub assemblies for 2015 nissan sentra. Told that parts would be delivered and installed on Saturday, never received a call. Called on Monday, told wrong parts were received, and the correct parts should be received by Wednesday 11:30PM, at which time I can have it installed. At 11:15PM on Wednesday, today, i texted and told that part was in hand, even shared pics. When I went to install it, at 11:30, I was told that it was the wrong part, and I needed to pay an additional $90 per wheel, so $180 extra! As a business owner, if I made such a mistake, after giving a quote and the customer paid, I would eat that mistake, its my fault and my loss. But no, not Roscar, they told me that if I did not use them, I would still be charged a $175 labor fee. I would not recommend this company. So today, Wednesday, I was there for 3.5 hrs, and had to pay $95 (w/ tax inc) on top of what I was originally charged, FOR THEIR MISTAKE!

The best, really. Santiago service is first class very fast and efficient and professional. He really takes care of his customers. His pricing is very competitive compared to dealers and there's no comparison in the level of service and the speed.

I found Japanese Auto Care on Angie's List and went to them because of the great reviews, and of course because my sister and I both needed major repairs done on our vehicles. One is a Toyota Camry and the other is an old Ford Explorer. The Camry had (still has) an oil leak and the Explorer was (still is) stalling, overheating, leaking A/C, and shaking when the brakes are applied. So that's us in a nutshell. As for the folks at Japanese Auto, they are a father-son team with other mechanics in their employ. I will say that they seemed quite personable both on the phone and in person. Unfortunately, based on the odd and incorrect things they've said to us, they don't seem to know vehicles at all, or are playing dumb to con their customers...but I'm guessing it's the latter rather than the former. Here's an example: the son told me the tires on my Ford were old and needed to be replaced - except that I know that I have nearly BRAND NEW Michelins on there, so??? So when my sister noticed that her Camry CONTINUED to indicate an oil leak AFTER Japanese Auto charged her $1,344.47 for "fixing" it, she had two mechanics at another auto place confirm what she suspected. She went back to Japanese Auto because she thought the nature of the repair may have been complicated and that they had just made a mistake - well trusting them was her mistake. The son actually seemed confused by her request to rectify the issue, and after having her vehicle "checked" (whether they even took a sideways glance at it is questionable) for THE SECOND TIME, came back with the claim that the radiator suddenly needed to be replaced, so they charged her ANOTHER $335.77(?!) and said nothing of oil leak until she made repeated inquiries. Now how is it they missed the radiator problem THE FIRST TIME? The simple answer is that they are making things up. As for my Ford, when I realized that it is in the exact condition NOW as it was in BEFORE I went to Japanese Auto, I refused to take it back to them
