Ruiz Auto Repair

Junior is a great guy with a really good understanding of cars and engine issues.
He was willing to tackle my 2005 Expedition when nobody else would touch it, and the dealer quoted me for a new motor. The spark plugs had over 150,000 miles on them, and they were frozen into place. Every one of them broke when he tried to remove them, but he was able to use the extraction tool to get the parts out without having to open up the entire engine. It was a massive job that he did with excellence and a great price.
He also fixed my AC system and several other things while he had my truck, and he’s got my business for life!

ABSOLUTELY 1000% RECOMMENDED! I have a 2004 Toyota Camry. I recently got a bid on a new exhaust as my car was beginning to sound like a diesel truck. A place close to home that I’ve used in the past quoted «$ 675 for the piece and labor, if this is the right part.» (Fox Automotive) I then heard through a co-​worker how great her experience was with Ruiz.
Although it was a 20 minute drive out of my way, I decided that this chunk of change was significant enough to get a 2^nd opinion. SURE GLAD I DID!
I got there and was a little taken back by the small warehouse it resided in. (don’t let looks be deceiving) The family owned and run business did not just give me a quote. The owner lifted the car and had me come to the garage to see the exhaust leak, which was clearly visible. He then told me he knew a muffler guy who does good work for him. He said the part was $ 135 and he would drive it there himself, have it fixed, drive it back and charge me $ 45 for his time. $ 180 TOTAL! I couldn’t believe it.
When he got back the car had a gentle purr; however, he did inform me that although the exhaust was fixed, the bone mount of my engine was the original 2004 and currently wasn’t hold my engine in place. I thought okay here’s the catch. I was wrong, again he showed me that when I accelerated the entire engine lifted up (that rattling noise i’ve been hearing for so long). His wife gave me a quote for pieces and labor and encouraged me to think about it and get other quotes. (Probably because she was well aware her Christian morals gave her the cheapest prices in South Florida). I immediately made and appt to have this work done. They had the pieces there the next day and did all the work in a matter of 2 hours while I sat at a delicious and tiny restaurant nearby.
For both the new exhaust and 2 mounts for my engine I walked out paying $ 445 (I gave a little extra because I was so thankful for having saved over $ 200 for more work). My beautiful Camry now runs like a mean machine. I am so happy I took the time to drive up to Davie and seek this place out. Truly a diamond in the rough.
I apologize for the long post but I know how important it is (for women especially) to go to a trusted mechanic. There are too many scams out there for the «mechanically challenged» and this place has a heart of gold.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU AT LEAST CHECK IT OUT AND GET A QUOTE TO COMPARE WITH YOUR (NO DOUBT) MUCH HIGHER QUOTE FROM ANOTHER MECHANIC. YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH BOTH THE SAVINGS AS WELL AS THE SERVICE!
