If quality, honest work at VERY reasonable prices is what you're looking for, then I suggest Sal's. A/C was blowing hot on a 20 year old Cadillac. 45 minutes later and less than a c-note lighter, I had a gallon and a half of freon put in, with the system vacuumed and recharged. There's a reason why Sal's has been in business since before most of us were born. read more

First time took our KIA and was gracious greeted. The mechanic pointed out to add oil periodically. No overselling as other shops. Will be bringing all our vehicles here. read more

They diagnosed my problem with my van. I was told that they will call to make an appointment. This was the second time that they never called. I'm just disappointed, I am looking for a reliable mechanic in my area and Sals fell short for me. read more

It's hard to find honest mechanics in this day and age-- thankfully Sal's auto are the guys for the job!

This was the best experience I have ever had at an auto shop!!! Nice to know there are such good people still out there, so kind and helpful! 10 Stars for sure!!! Thank you!! read more

Have gone for a few years, they help maintain my vehicle , and are very thorough, they don't encourage a lot of unnecessary repairs. I keep recommending friends to them ! read more

undecided about this place, lately. I paid for a rack and pinion, which ended up being faulty and I had to pay for the entire job again. They charged me less for the part. the car took a long time to get done. Then I went There again for another issue. They insisted my battery was too old for the warranty I had on it. When I looked into it they were wrong. I understand there is turn over lately at this shop. Years ago this place was good. read more

Great and trustworthy mechanics, can't find a better place in South Florida. They are honest about charging and will find the best value for your fix. I had some issues with another local mechanic and Sal's was able to fix what they couldn't and made me feel heard. Definitely appreciate their services and would recommend to anyone in the South Florida area. read more

extremely fair pricing, honest and quick to find the issue, this will become my new go to shop!

My family has relied on Sal's for auto repair for as long as I can remember. Honest and reliable is important in auto care. I love that they aren't just business owners, but also feel it is important to help the community. You will often find Sal's at local school and city events. Stop by for a visit and discuss your automotive needs. They have the coziest waiting room and coolest antique and vintage decor. read more

Was very pleased with the work on my 15 year BMW. They were honest worked on it fast and the car runs like new. Price wasn't bad. I was going to another shop in Broward which was super expensive and rekt ripped off. Never felt that way at Sal's. Glad I finally found an honest reasonable auto repair shop in Lauderdale. read more

He was an honest mechanic. My vehicle had an electrical and computer issue. After replacing the fuel pump and starter the car would still not run, sal gave me my car back at NO charge bc he felt bad he was unable to fix the computer issue. I was speechless but grateful. Very honest mechanic, thanks again!! read more

My engine light went on and I took my car to Sal's. Derrick diagnosed the problem, did the repair and charged me much less than I expected. This is now my "go to" auto repair shop. read more

I phoned and told the very nice lady on the phone exactly what the problem was. Within about four minutes she sent me an estimate, which was very competitive. I took my car in and it was fixed same day, at slightly under what the original estimate. The mechanics in the garage were very nice and Sal himself rang me up at the register. He even had someone come out and wash my windows! Most of all this auto repair business did no up-selling, which as many of you know is a sort of blood sport among auto repair shops (Romanos being the worst offender), which was truly refreshing. The work is guaranteed. If you have had unpleasant experiences with other shops, I would for sure recomend you give these guys a try. read more

Fixed my Nissan Xterra not once but twice. Just moved here my go to guy . Recommended that you give them a try . read more

My experience with sal's auto repair has been great! I brought my infiniti q50 in to be diagnosed with some issues & i have never come across a more honest mechanic in this whole process read more

A+ service. Prompt and professional people. Honest and did the minor repair in good faith. Only asked for a tip rather than a formal bill for this quick fix on our rental car. Thank you Carlos for saving our day and from losing our $200 rental car deposit. read more

I don't leave reviews much, but so happy that I found an honest and affordable mechanic. CJ was great and explained everything well. It's a great feeling to have a reliable mechanic now! Already have and will continue to recommend this shop. read more

Sloppy workmanship. Had several issues with my older car, had to return couple times after problems not fixed. Had them fix my emergency brake, power steering pump which leaked an also a directional signal that wouldn't cancel. Finally took car to another mechanic and they successfully resolved issues. Most reviews for Sal's are good, which is why I went there in the first place, just wanted to share my experience to tread carefully with them. read more

CJ at Sals Auto Repair has been the BEST, and the mechanic's are great! I took my older car in and they really have treated me with respect and I have not felt taken advantage of. I highly suggest if you have a question about your car or need any work done on your car DO NOT look any further!!!! They are fair and honest. read more

Sal's Auto Repair is the very best repair shop that I have found and is absolutely worth the drive if you are not nearby. They can be relied upon for top-quality work at very fair prices. They also don't have the egregious markups on parts that almost every other shop has. I have been coming here for over 14 years and refer all of my friends and family members. read more

CJ and his team are very honest people. They do a good job with vehicle repairs, vehicle inspections and no job is too big or too small for them. Plus the ambiance of their shop is one of a kind in addition to their ideal location! read more

What a great experience! CJ and the crew really cared and showed great knowledge. From start to finish very professional. I have been driving my Tacoma without air and they came through! I'm a female with little auto knowledge, they break it down so u understand and do not rip you off. If you want an auto shop that doesn't rip u off and on it every step of the way, then checkout Sal's and see CJ! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again! read more

Have taken my car there for air-conditioning and brakes. Very good shop with very knowledgeable techs and excellent costumer service

Super fantastic service! My BMW 135i car battery (less than 2yrs old) was dead, AAA said probably electrical issue caused battery to drain. Looked at Yelp, read a few reviews and decided to take a chance on Sal's. So, so happy I did. CJ and Kevin assured me they would figure out. They did a full diagnostic and found electrical was not the culprit - it was the battery. They replaced battery, reset the circuits, topped off fluids and saved me a lot of money. Old fashion service, honest/fair and great people. Highly recommend for any car or repair!! read more

amazing service, everyone there is extremely nice and welcoming. very fast service and you can't beat any of the prices. i will always recommend this place. read more

Friendly and well organized shop. Fair prices and very good work. An automotive repair shop is an unusual place to expound about great service, but Sal's is that place. They do not over promise and they did a fantastic job on my classic vehicle. These guys and gals are a pleasure to work with. read more

I'm on a state-to-state road trip down from NJ which started 12 days ago. Got to South FL and suddenly had a terrible screeching coming from the rear of my car. I found Sal's on Yelp and called ahead to see if they had time to check out my car, and they did. When I got in, CJ was very welcoming and had Kevin take a look immediately. Within 5 minutes, there was a diagnosis and the quote was more than fair. Upon further inspection as the work was being done, it turned out I had another problem that couldn't be seen, initially, and was only found because they went an extra step further to ensure my car's safety and the life of the repair they were doing for me. CJ took the time to show me the worn down parts and the adjusted rate for the additional repairs was also more than fair. I waited in the coziest, air-conditioned lounge decorated with antique cars, trains, art and furniture pieces. Once the repairs were finished, Kevin did a double check by taking my car out for a short drive and made adjustments to ensure that all was well before I drove off. These guys are thorough and really care that everything is done just right. After all was said and done, I was out in about 2.5 hours with a safer car, and a feeling that I got much more than I paid for. Best auto shop experience I've ever had with any car I've ever owned over the past 20 years. Thank you CJ and team!!!! read more

Honest and reliable, just purchased a used car and will be using Sal's from now on. Needed brakes & rotors and Sal's did everything to save me as much money as he could. Thanks read more

CJ is the very best, he made us feel like family here. My husband is a retired mechanic (Dec 2020) And he was very pleased with the work that was done. Sal's will be this family's mechanic for all of our automotive needs read more

Quick, honest, and great service. Towed my car here and they fixed the problem within a few hours. Everyone was very pleasant and the shop is clean. We loved the antique touches throughout the shop! We will use this repair shop again for sure. read more

Sal's is the only place I bring my cars. They will never over charge you. I have brought my car there asking for service that I thought was needed, and they have told me that after checking the car that service was not needed. What shop does that? One that's been in business for like 40 years! They don't even need to advertise. It's all word of mouth. The shop is decorated with antiques, and they even have live turkeys there in the fall. The air conditioned waiting room has two brand new leather couches, and a nice tv. read more

Sal's Auto Repair - The guest lounge - Auto Repair Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

See all

Horrible Experience - Car Repairs and Rude Staff!!! Please before servicing your car here, Rethink. There are so many other places. This place should remain a towing company and that is it! Not an Auto Repair!! Everything they so call serviced had an issue later and then when you call to explain the front desk guy named CJ, will talk down to you and go into detail about how you know nothing about cars. He likes to throw fits when you address problems that they caused.They broke my oil pan on a regular oil change and tried to act like they did not. Left me with oil pouring out of my car. When there done with your complaints about how they didnt fix something right they start arguments and will part ways and leave you scrambling to go get their incomplete and half assed work done by someone else. Please I cant stress this enough, do not go to this shop!!!! I'm saving you a headache and Money!! DONT GO HERE!!!! read more

Usually hesitant with auto repair shops I'm not familiar with but sals is definitely one I'm pleased with and can trust to come back to. Only issue was they left my car pretty dirty after spending all day cleaning it. Black dirt from their gloves most likely but it was all over my seats and doors. Would've been nice to come back to a clean car like I brought it. But fair prices and nice staff. read more

Based on reviews, decided to give Sal's a try, rather than either Lexus dealer which is inconvenient and tends to upsell like crazy. Really satisfied with the service, recommendations and friendliness. About an hour for a full oil service, tire check, etc. at a reasonable price. Thanks CJ and team. read more

This place is great! The AC in my late model Dodge was not working and I called them based on reading their reviews. CJ answered-professionalism, expertise and kindness all in one! I asked if they could squeeze me in to check and hopefully fix the AC. CJ and staff were all professional and friendly and were able to get me in right away. When I arrived, my car was taken in quickly. The waiting area was clean and comfortable. A short time later my car was good to go..CJ took the time to explain everything to me and make sure I got back on the road in a cool and safe vehicle. It's always great to find a business that's well run with honest and considerate people where you get friendly and professional service. I will absolutely go back the next time I need any service on my car. Customer for life! read more
