Neil and his staff are great! He took my old Chrysler in and fixed 2 bad u joints super quick! Amazing customer service, honesty, and patience. They answered any and all question I had. I could really feel a night and day difference after the repair.

Grateful there are still honest people in Miami. Extremely honest and attentive mechanic at the end of this warehouse plaza. He is willing to take the time to explain to you exactly what is going on with your car, no sneaky business. Very helpful and kind staff. Highly recommend!

Amazing!! Do yourself a favor and take your car issues to Neil and his team. He fixed my car’s AC and found the issue that 2 other shops were not able to figure out. I’m so grateful and happy with their service and efficiency.

We went half of the summer of 2024 and the whole fall without air conditioning in our 2011 Dodge Caliber. That model of vehicle is notorious for having numerous problems that I wont be listing. Nonetheless, Neal and his team replaced our A/C system almost completely, and it runs perfectly new as it should. The price was a selling point of course, saving us around* 800 dollars in costs. But the thing that stuck out to me the most was that Neal aims to do the right thing. He wants to be a good person for his customers, and equally important for his own business. I hope others can visit this shop and experience the same thing. Thank you Neal and the rest of the team at Affordable Auto Repair. 02/07/25

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Affordable Auto Repair in Miami is amazing, full stop. I brought my Mercedes SLK 55 AMG in for a second opinion after another garage told me I needed shocks and struts, quoting me over $3,000. I was ready to pay, but a friend suggested I call around first. After getting quotes from five places, Affordable Auto Repair was the last—and immediately, I could tell they were different. I spoke with the owner (I wish I remembered his name!), and he was skeptical of the diagnosis. He mentioned that such a repair would be rare for my car and invited me to bring it in for a quick check. Even though they were fully booked, they still squeezed me in. Sure enough, he was right—I only needed new tires. Not only did they save me thousands of dollars, but they also went the extra mile. Initially, they couldn’t schedule the repair until the following week, but they made it work so I wouldn’t have to drive on a spare over the weekend. They have earned a customer for life, and I’ve already sent another customer their way. If you need honest, reliable auto repair, GO HERE. 🚗💨

Neil, my man Sorry for late, I was very busy on my business. Guys I have a Chevy Traverse 2020 LT and I had a problem with the transmission, The truck lost power and pulled hard when I accelerating again, I was driving in moments on L mode to drive manually shift, on drive mode the shifts pulled hard. I was in Autonation Doral, they didn’t do the job and hurt me with $2.500 bill, I fought and I got reimbursed. The truck was 4 days on the dealer!. I found affordable Auto on Google, read the reviews, check the website and visited the place. Neil, He’s old school, direct to the point, he took the truck, we got a ride, he was driving and doing the scan diagnostic at the same time, he found the problem on the ride, was easy for him. I got the briefing, scenarios, left the truck and after 2 hours I got the call, truck ready and my bill for less than 1k, What else? …Thank you Boss

I was desperately looking for a good mechanic, preferably close to me, and thank you Google! I found Affordable Auto Repair. The reviews convinced me to give it a try and I am really glad I did. Neil is knowledgeable and honest, and no joke, he has saved me hundreds (if not thousands) by giving me a reasonable price and even sending me to the dealer when the issue was still covered by guarantee. As a woman I was always afraid of mechanics taking advantage and overcharging or "finding" new issues that needed to be fixed, but with Neil I feel safe to take my car, knowing he will just do his job without creating new issues or inflating prices. I highly recommend Affordable Auto Repair.

It is a rare experience that one can find a straight shooting mechanic nowadays. Since I've been working in this area, I've brought all three of my vehicles to Neil for service and or repairs along with recommending him to my coworkers and peers. The first time I brought my Explorer to Neil, I relayed to him that the previous time I had it in for an oil change, the service advisor (of one of these nationwide tire / service chains) advised that I needed rear brakes urgently. After assessing the brakes, Neil relayed that there was plenty of meat left on the pads and not to spend the money just yet, that we would keep an eye on them. I was able to get two more years out of these brakes thanks to Neil and his honesty. I would highly recommend Neil and Affordable Auto to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy mechanic who performs excellent work that he willingly stands behind.

Long review but do read it. I was seriously impressed by their workmanship and the fact that this is one of most genuine auto repair shop i have seen in Miami (from an outsider point of view also no language problem). This was my second visit with them. First time i went for headlight fix, told them the problem, they explained me everything, fix the issue in no time and charges were very reasonable. This time i went for my AC issue , as it was blowing warm air. But they were not my first choice. I went to specialist auto ac repair shop. I thought or kinda knew that all i need is a gad charge as i must be low on freon. So I went to an auto AC repair shop as i wanted this to be handled by right professional but to my utter disbelief the repair shop said that my compressor was broken and estimated $1000 to fix it. No way i was going to spend $1000 , as i could sense they are just there to make money. Thats when i decided to go back to Affordable Auto repair for second review , knowing they seemed genuine during my last visit and might guide me properly. And thats what happened , no compressor issue, just needed a little charge , thats what they said and thats what they did under $70 bucks !!! I mean these people are really doing genuine auto repair work. No hassling, no over charging, no making simpler things difficult in order to charge you more, no cheating just bunch of guys doing honest work !

When I read the reviews I thought Maybe this place was posting there own reviews but nope. I went in for a abs light and had all expectations of leaving it probably for a day or two at least bur Neil found the problem and fixed and had me in and out in 2 hours. I recommend this place and plan on using it from now on. The best mechanic shop I ever been to. For anyone out there reading this review if you don't come here in miami from the other shops I've used your probably going to get ripped off

I am a happy customer. My car overheated a month ago, and I found this shop on Google Maps. Considering high ratings, I decided to take my car to Neil's shop. He was very honest since get-go. I made some assumptions but after his inspection, he told me that the issue was smaller than what I first thought. Not only he fixed my issue quickly but also it was very affordable. The whole experience was positive. I'd highly recommend his shop.

Great experience and a mechanic you can trust. I brought my son's car into the shop for the first time last week for a gear box stripped bolt. Neil had the car for less then 2 hours and my son was back on the road. Price was very reasonable. I was extremely satisfied with my experience and I'm sure you will be also.

Neil is the absolute best. He cares for your car as if it is his own. Being new to the Miami area there are certain things you definitely need and an honest, thorough and fair priced car care specialist/expert is at the top of the list. I found that in Neil and Affordable Car Care. He will not perform unnecessary repair work. He performs a detailed analysis of your car and provides a thorough explanation of the problem and the work required to resolve it along with the estimated cost. I cannot say enough about the integrity and affordability of Neil, his staff and the work they perform. Thank you Neil and team, you are the BEST!

There is no place I would have rather gone. I’m from out of town and it was truly a blessing to find Neil and his associates. My car is complicated (newer Volvo), but it was no match for them! They were kind, honest, and just a breathe of fresh air to show you not all of Miami is full of pretentious A-holes. If I ever come back to Miami to live, I just hope Neil hasn’t retired by then because I would love for him to be my go-to mechanic. Do yourself a favor and invest in good people.

Highly recommend. Neil the owner & head mechanic Octavio repaired & got me back on the road in a vehicle my mechanic & I feared had been damaged beyond repair from a bad overheating . I’m glad I took it into Affordable Auto Repair for a 2nd opinion. Neil & his staff diagnosed & repaired my Ford Escape quickly. True professionals & honest, good people.

I just started having issues with the check engine light in my Cadillac and not having alot of extra money or knowing anyone in Miami, decided to call around and see if there was anyone who would offer any advice on how or what could be done before I left for a little road trip over the weekend. To my surprise, Neil was extremely helpful with all his knowledge and even offered a small window of his time to take a look at it for me. Once in his shop, he ran a few tests on it and even drove it around the block to ensure it was safe to drive! Occasionally as a young woman ill feel pressured into doing whatever a mechanic suggests not knowing or understanding the logistics behind it all but with Neil he didn't make me feel that way even a little bit. He took the time to explain every little thing and educate me which i feel is a very rare thing to come by in today's day and age where everyone is only out to help themselves! Will definitely be bringing all future business here.. Thanks again Affordable Auto Repair!
