I've always had bad luck finding a trustworthy shop, but Armstrong Auto Care completely changed that for me. I first came here with my '99 F-150, and they treated my truck with the kind of detail and care you don't see often anymore. They tested their work, explained everything clearly, and made sure I left with the truck running healthy. What really stood out was how they took the time to educate me on what to stay on top of with an older vehicle. That extra effort makes a huge difference, ever since that first visit I honestly haven't gone anywhere else . Same honest service, same attention to detail, and the peace of mind knowing my truck is in good hands. It's my main shop , and I don't trust anywhere else with my truck. If you're looking for mechanics that genuinely care about your vehicle, this is the place read more

Solid 4 Stars - Professional, Reliable, and Consistent Ever since moving to the area, I've trusted Armstrong Auto Care with the majority of my auto needs--and they've earned that trust. From the jump, they operate like true professionals. They'll often research parts before I even arrive, have appointments set up efficiently, and are ready to take my car in almost immediately. That kind of preparation matters. It shows they respect your time. Their estimates are always reasonable, and what I appreciate most is the communication. They call along the way while servicing the car, explain what's going on, and give clear pricing options--economical, mid-tier, best-in-class--so you can make decisions that fit both your needs and your budget. No pressure, just transparency. The workmanship has consistently been solid. I've never had to return for a repair issue. And on the one or two occasions when I caught a nail and ended up with a flat, they honored the lifetime tire guarantee without hesitation. Patched up and back on the road. The staff is young, sharp, articulate, and energetic. They engage customers well and create an environment that feels professional but not stiff. Four stars, solid. If you're in the Virginia Gardens area and looking for dependable auto care with strong communication and fair pricing, Armstrong is a safe bet. read more

Quality and price for service equitable. I fell respected and in the best place to take my car. Special thanks to Ronald who received my car and manage everything with care and efficiency.

Super overpriced and unreasonable prices. Was able to fix my issue did 3x less than what whey wanted to charge me. Go somewhere else,

Solid shop would recommend. Took my car into Armstrong Auto Care in Aventura after hearing a weird noise from the engine. The team was friendly and got back to me pretty quickly with a diagnosis. They explained the issue in simple terms and didn't pressure me into extra stuff I didn't need. Prices were fair, and the car's running smooth now. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to wait a bit longer than expected, but overall, solid experience. Will be back if I need anything else. read more

Armstrong Auto Care - Armstrong Auto Care Engineer working. He is a pro! - Auto Repair Near Me - Virginia Gardens, Florida

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Armstrong Auto Care. After having my vehicle for several hours, they waited until about 20 minutes before closing to inform me that they were unable to change a tire because they allegedly do not have the tools to service a BMW. Let that sink in. This is not even the first time this has happened. Years ago, when this same shop was operating under the name Doral Auto Care, I experienced the exact same issue. Back then, as now, I was asked whether I had a "special lug nut key" at my house. Newsflash: I'm not a mechanic. If the dealership or manufacturer provided anything special, it would be in the vehicle, not sitting in my home. They claimed it wasn't there. At the last minute, I was given two ridiculous options: 1. Rush over within 10 minutes before closing to empty my trunk so they could try to search for tools themselves, or 2. Pay $85 for them to replace all the lug nuts with something "universal" -- conveniently, something they do have the tools for. This isn't customer service. It's laziness, poor communication, and complete ineptitude. An auto shop that cannot handle basic, common manufacturers should not be holding customers' cars all day only to spring this kind of nonsense at closing time. I spoke with one of the managers, Felipe, and there was no accountability, no solution, and no professionalism. Save yourself the time and frustration. There are plenty of auto shops that are actually equipped to do the job they advertise. read more

Monday morning nail in center of tire. Head over to Armstrong Auto Care . . . they checked tire, found nail, and due to tire having a special internal "glue" they plugged tire and did not charge me. Great service, great personnel and truly a gem of our neighborhood. Thank you!! read more

Un tal Federico que trabaja en la recepcion. Mi peor esperiencia desde que vengo a este taller y no vuelvo mas. Llevo varios años haciendo cambio de aceite en mi auto aqui en este lugar y cosas basicas.

Este tal Federico practicamente destroso su auto y mi amigo se tuvo que ir sin frenos para su casa. Aqui no vuelvo mas. Y este tipo deveria ser despedido. LES DEJO UNA FOTO PARA QUE CONOSCAN A ESTE SEñOR MAL EDUCADO. read more

If I could I would give them 0 stars by the way I was treated. I have taken my care a few times here which is an older sports car. I never had a major issue except for the fact they would break a part due to the age of the car. I took their word that it was due to the age of the car since it is over 12 years old with original parts. I did not like the fact that they would make me pay for the part although they did cover the labor. But if you break it you should pay for it in my opinion. I thought it was a quality shop until I had to replace a major part. I was helped by Freddy initially and then another manager, please do not trust this guy Freddy, he seems genuine and a good guy but it is a fake persona. He is a very dishonest person unfortunately. When this part was replaced they had to take some thing apart in my engine that brought my rpms below 5000 because they broke a part again. I brought it back and they actually fixed it without charging me the parts surprisingly. As I took it home there was a burning smell coming into the cabin after they told me they test drove it and made sure every thing was in order. After this incident I lost faith in them and saw them as incompetent. I took my car to the dealership where the master mechanic of over 30 years told me they installed the wrong part which was causing my car to over heat and burn hot. I showed Doral Auto Care the results from the dealership and they told that the master mechanic who is an expert in these cars was incorrect and that they installed the correct part. They told me that if I wanted a 2nd opinion it would have to be a shop within the umbrella of their warranty service and they recommended me a shop. Since I found them to be incompetent and dishonest I did not take it to that shop but another that was under the same warranty company. They told me the same, that the part was incorrect and also that my o2 sensor was damaged which was most likely caused by them for it sits right next to the part they replaced and I had no issue with the o2 sensor prior to the repair but of course it could not be proven. I then returned to Doral Auto Care with the results and asked to speak to the owner about a refund and that I would gladly give the part they installed back to them. They refused so I was stuck whether paying more money at another shop to replace the part or to continue to get it fixed at Doral Auto Care. I took a week to ponder my situation looking at my financials for the repair cost me $2,000 and I had spent an additional $400 getting a 2nd and then 3rd opinion (which was suppose to be covered by Doral Auto Care but never was). I needed time to reflect. When I contacted them again the manager I was dealing with was fired and had to speak to Freddy about what happen and he acted as though he knew nothing about the situation. I explained that the part was incorrect and he arrogantly replied that it was impossible for they do the best research to get the best quality part possible at the lowest price. He told me in order to install the correct part they would have to modify it making it an illegal part. I immediately called the other mechanics to ask if this was true and they both told me he was lying. So he was trying to hustle me out of the correct part because the correct part cost more than the one they installed. They charged me the full price of the correct part and put a cheap knock off in my car. I did the research and the one they installed was $500 less but that did not reflect the bill that I was given. Armed with the knowledge given to me by the other mechanics I kept telling him he was wrong and he kept arguing with me until finally after a few days he gave in and got the correct part on my car and installed it. What a terrible person. Please do trust him or any one who works there, they are all just as dishonest. Freddy was very polite initially when I was getting my car repaired but once this incident happened and I explained the whole situation he became very rude and vulgar. Almost as though he was trying to intimidate me. He has a very poor quality of character and as I mentioned his demeanor is a fake persona. You will hear him say a phrase that he would tell me every time I would get a repair "I checked my magic crystal ball and have figured out the problem....." it is just a cheezy line to mask their incompetence. I was also told I would be compensated for the tow as well as the damaged caused by them to my car seats. They had oil stains all over my white car seats but was never compensated for it. Overall with the damages, the tow, as well as the 2nd and 3rd opinions I lost over $600 that they never compensated me for. Please do not come to this shop we should not support people like Freddy. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend of the family. I can't say enough about Fred and the staff of Doral Auto Care. The whole team is very responsive to everyone who walks in. They are fair and honest with their pricing and truly good people. Looking forward to these guys taking care of my GMC Sierra and waiting to see what mods we end up doing to it. read more

super fast and efficient! they even took me back home while the car was ready. I will take my car back for my next tune up.

Took my fathers car for an a/c job. They quoted 1800 had the job done. It required taking the dash apart. When I got the car back and went through it discovered some damage. The ac vent was broken, the face plate to the center counsel was cracked,tons of scratches, greasey hand print on cream color interior passenger seat had a cut in the leather and returned very dirty. When I confronted the staff they said its part of business and it's expected to have some damage for that type of job. Took it for repair not to be damaged. Sorry was told owner would call me never did. Etc the run around. I went to get an estimate for the damage 1300.00 to repair what they damaged and 125.00 to detail still could not get all the stains out. Been going there for over 10 years when Sam owned it never had an issue and it was sold to a new group, the new operators are no good avoid taking your car. I have spoken to several others that regularly took their cars their and the agree not the same. read more

Went in to get a quote for new tires as I have to turn in my lease soon. I told them I wanted something economical. They gave me the best quote I got from any other place I had gone. Service was fast and efficient. I will be back again, was extremely pleased! read more

Awesome ! I've been before for a minor issue so I trusted them when my car was acting "funny" I described the issues and they diagnosed and repaired 3 separate issues within the day and had my car back to me before end of business. A few months ago the dealership told me one issue would cost over $700 to fix - they diagnosed the same issue and it was a much simpler fix - not even $150 for that specific issue ! read more

I brought my car into Doral Auto Care yesterday for routine inspection and oil change. The date 4/8/2020 right smack in the middle of this COVID19 outbreak.

These guys are the absolute best. I live in Chicago now and have seriously told my wife that I want to drive to Miami and while I'm there have my car serviced at Doral Auto Care. My best memory of this place is about 6 years ago when my Mercedes needed new tires. I got a quote and thought it was a fair price. When I got the final bill, the price was lower. So, I told them there must be some mistake and offered to pay what I was quoted. They told me that they got a deal for buying 4 tires from them and wanted to pass on the savings back to me. I would have never known, but they were insistent on giving me the savings. Go here any time you need anything done to your car. They even drive you to work. read more

This place sucks and is a rip off......take it any where else....make promises they can't keep and make up prices.....

Not the best customer service from the front desk. They are too pricey, maybe because I'm a woman and don't know about cars. Got the same work done some place else for a third of what they wanted to charge me. read more

Great people, great service. Very honest and trustworthy. I won't take my car anywhere else.

Our family does not go anywhere else. The entire staff is honest, friendly and helpful. We have taken many vehicles there for all sorts of things like service light checks, radiators, tires and more. The service has always been excellent and the prices good. We give Doral Auto Car our highest recommendation. read more

Very professional, efficient, and excellent customer service. I was taken care of immediately. I went in for an oil change and asked a few questions on why my car was having certain behaviors. They answered my questions succinctly. They took the time to show what exactly was going wrong, what I needed, and what I can prolong. I hope they keep up the great work and will be returning. read more

Awesome - attentive - good COVID guidelines and fair pricing. They were able to do the job quickly and efficiently!

Paid a pretty penny ($43) to have nails removed and my two rear tires patched up but I had no choice. I've never paid so much for this service anywhere else and I hope to never have to again, but having to drive through any part of South Florida this seems very unlikely. The location is close to my home and the staff was pleasant. Didn't have to wait long for service to be completed. read more

On 4/19/2019 I went and got a full synthetic oil change & filter $69.99. today they want to charger me $100 they ripping off people money there, and the reason is because they got a new owner and a new machine for oil change( since when you need a machine for an oil change) hahaha, so please Don't Go there if you don't want to get overcharged for oil change and labor. I got proof of everything. At first I give this place 2 start on google review, but after the owner answered I lower my rating to 1 start. Definitely the new "owner" Murtaza Hemani don't know what's going own in his own shop, and he never give me a concrete answer of why they charger $30 more for an oil change. The "new machine" , he say is for tpm hahahah you don't used a machine for tpm boy you used an scanner. Men this people trying to come up with excuse and excuse. I'm an aviation mechanic and industrial mechanic for more than 8 years so go try to lie to other customers and don't insult my intelligence. PLEASE GUYS DONT GO THERE.

I cannot recommend this place at all! I have more trouble with my car now than before visiting this shop the first time. I went there after I saw great reviews but that was a big mistake. After three visits and now more issues with my car, I better stop going and stop losing my money and my time. These guys find new defective parts or create new damages at every single visit. The last feedback they gave me when I called to let them know about a new recurring noise from my engine was that I better trade my car! Amazing! It's like they cannot fix problems that they have either created or amplified!!! Leave it far away from your drive! read more

I cannot say enough about the service here! As a woman I have had many bad experiences with over charging and exaggerated service needs for my car but my best friend told me to try them and they could not have been more honest, polite and decent. They even gave me a ride to my office so I wouldn't have to wait on a busy Friday morning. Great service reasonable prices. Highly recommend. read more
