Relatively new to Miami and didn't have any experience with mechanics in the area. I'm so skeptical when dealing with mechanics because I have been burned before. This shop is WONDERFUL !! They are friendly , they take their time , they don't charge you insane prices and take advantage of their customers ! Yes , it was my first time there but I will never take my car anywhere else ! It's very hard to fine a shop like this that does quality work and charges reasonable prices , fair prices !! They have my business for all my vehicle repairs and I will recommend them to everyone I know!! Larry's is the only place to bring your vehicle for repairs HANDS DOWN !! So happy I found them and I can walk there from my apartment! read more

I highly recommend Larry's Auto Service Center located at 1861 Bay Road. They service all European, Asian and domestic cars. I've been using them for the last 3 years. https://www.larrysautocarrepairshop.com/ I was told by a BMW store that I needed repairs regarding oil leaks and seals. Thank goodness I moved my car to Larry's for them to investigate. Gabriel just called me. He said they thoroughly examined my car and can not find any leaks. He said if anything, in 6-9 months or so, I probably will need brake pads but certainly not now. I just picked up my car and they didn't charge me a penny. Both Gabriel and Gary at Larry's Auto Service Center are honest, reliable and offer fair pricing. read more

Larry's is a 5 star business! My husband and I are totally enthusiastic about recommending Larry's Service Center. This shop has been a long time South Beach business and it is successful for so many years because of great customer word-of-mouth recommendations. That is how we discovered them a few years ago, a friend told us to bring our car there for service. When we first went there, they were super helpful. Gabriel, who runs the desk when you arrive, is super professional and friendly. Once you tell them what you need on your car, of if you need them to find the problem, they get a quote to you right away. This might surprise a lot of people who think that all the businesses in South Beach are overpriced, but Larry's is one of the most reasonably and fair-priced auto service centers in Miami Dade. There is no attempt here to rip off customers, they rely on customers leaving the shop who are satisfied with the work and the price they paid. Recently, we had to bring in our G-wagon because of metal noises that did not sound normal. It turned out the truck needed two new front shocks. Not only did they do the job at a very fair price but they managed to get the shocks in a couple of days and finish the work the same day they arrived at the shop. And they took care of a hard to get blown fuse at the same time. We could not be happier with Larry's. If you have a car that needs service and you live on Miami Beach, this is shop is the top choice by far. If you live across on the mainland but still want top service at a decent price, it is worth the trip to Larry's. read more

Excellent service. Excellent value. Excellent communication. They went above and beyond all expectations!

If you're looking for good old fashion customer service with caring personnel, Larry's is the place! I rarely write reviews, but I stopped by when I noticed a nail in my tire and was greeted immediately by two friendly staff. Walter looked at my tire and was able to plug it on the spot saving me the huge expense of a new tire. I won't bring my vehicle anywhere else! read more

I've been a customer for several years. And I've always received excellent service-accompanied by a warm, welcomed greeting.What a great team of professionals. The vehicle repair, or maintenance is always done timely, and to absolute satisfaction. These are People that truly care about their customers, and genuinely take pride in helping others, and finding a safe solution to your mechanical problem. Kudos to Gary, and the team-for juggling so many variant situations, and always make it honest, and trusting. read more

This experience turned out to be devastating for us. We had to take in the bad news about my husband's car, which had a braking system issue, and they declined to do any repairs. They told us to get a new car, saying it wasn't worth it for our town to take the car with issues over there, as nobody would take things seriously to make the customer happy with their vehicle. I can say it sucks, and I would go somewhere else for better, more reliable service, and a willingness to find a solution for our car. It kills me to see my husband being emotionally upset and mad at the same time about the situation. At the end of the day, it's going to take a long while to get over the shock of knowing some mechanics wouldn't want to help find other options to resolve the situation for the vehicle instead of telling us it's time to get a new one. read more

Excellent service by Walter at Larry's service center! Polite, professional and my car was fixed perfectly! I highly recommend this business. Located across from Sunset Harbor Shopping Center read more

Today was the first time I departed from the practice of servicing all my cars at the respective dealerships. My purpose isn't to diminish the dealership service, it is to save you money and get the same certified mechanic service. My neighbor has been using Larry's for years and finally I decided to go to Larry's today to service my car and my daughter's car. I was treated like a king, felt I was dealing with honorable professionals and went to one of the local neighborhood spots for breakfast with my daughter. Our cars were serviced and ready after our breakfast and we paid for two cars what the dealership charge would have been for one car. Sorry it took me so long to listen to my neighbor and discover Larry's!!!! read more

I've lived in Sunset Harbour forever. This auto repair shop is simply the best. They are honest and fair, they are fast, they are personable and treat customers with kindness. Highly recommend Larry's for any of your car repair needs. Ask for Gary. He's amazing! read more

Larry's Service Center - They always take great care of my Jeep. - Auto Repair Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This was my first time stopping in here to get my oil changed along with some minor vehicle maintenance. It was well worth the trip and the wait time was much shorter than expected. It's definitely my new go to spot for getting my car worked on. I thought it would be overly priced since it's on the beach and that wasn't the case here. It's located right next to the Sunset Harbor mall with street parking or you can simply park by the garage if there's room. Once I walked in I was greeted by a man working the front desk named Gary I think? He was very friendly, attentive, and even gave me paper along with a clipboard to get some work done while I was waiting. I was told it would be three hours and it ended up only taking a little over an hour. I had an oil change, wipers replaced, fluids topped off, and everything else checked out with the price being very reasonable which made my day. They have a tv and comfortable chairs in the waiting room even though I was getting work done. For locals here on the beach I highly recommend coming here for vehicle maintenance. The service, price, and everything is phenomenal! I'm looking forward to my next oil change. Stop by and check them out. read more

This review includes several repairs that had to be performed on my Lexus RX400h. Initially, I went into Larry's because my car was running hot. The radiator fan motor was bad and had to be changed. After the change, the mechanics at Larry's said the car was initially staying cool, but any effort made by the car and the temperature was rising again. Because the car is a hybrid, Gary, the manager, said he recommended that this repair be done at Lexus. He called ahead to the Lexus repair show to let them know he was sending one of his customers in. After Lexus did their mechanical analysis of my car, Gary took a look at the Lexus dealer's list of repairs and said I should ONLY get the cooling system repairs performed, the other things they would take care of at Larry's. Lexus did a great job and got me back on the road. I brought the car back to Larry's Service Center and completed the other repairs. This time the valve gaskets needed to be changed and a few other things. The work was done within 24 hours, including changing my tires and giving it a general tune up. It's nice to know that these guys know cars so well, they realize when you need the "factory" to repair something and when they can do the repairs themselves. Seeing all of the custom cars they are building in their shop, they're certainly capable of building a car from scratch. And, it's great knowing I have these guys as my own personal pit-crew. Thank you Larry's Service Center for getting me back on the road again! read more

Honest and reliable shop. The team will be transparent with you. I have taken my car to repaired for years. I enjoy the ocean front public park, shops, bakeries, and dining in the area while I wait. The service writers and Manager makes a huge difference. They listen and consider you. read more

Larry's is the only place I'll take my car in South Beach. They are very polite, attentive and professional. The prices are reasonable. I've been going to Larry's for over a decade, never any issues. They are extremely nice and patient with me; always taking the time to explain things. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great place . Super friendly and honest . They always find a way to help . I Highly recommend .

First time here since relocating to Miami Beach. From the check in to delivery the experience was wonderful. I was greeted by the friendly service advisor who addressed my concerns and got my suv right in for service. I walked across the street and had a fabulous dinner while waiting and I received a phone call when my car was ready. He went over everything with me and noted some things that I should consider in the near future for maintenance and he wasn't a pushy sales person trying to make an extra buck. Larry's is definitely my go to place for servicing my suv. Much MUCH MUCH better than going to Miami's Planet Dodge/Jeep dealership. Keep up the honest and great service Larry's Service Center because Miami Beach residents appreciate you. Oh yes, be sure and make an appointment because these folks are busy. read more

Not only was the price very fair. Gary who helped us was the most polite person I've ever dealt with living in South beach the last ten years. Good attitude in the service industry is a rarity in Miami. Great mechanics Great attitude. read more

Larry service center was phenomenal. I brought my car to a dealership that was trying to majorly rip me off. I called Larry's garage after receiving an outrageous quote. Larry's garage quickly figured out what was wrong with my car and fixed it for a fraction of the price. As a female, it can be challenging to find a garage that makes you feel comfortable and not like you're being taken advantage of. I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely use them again. read more

This place is great for high end cars. I'm very happy with they way they took care of me. Great customer service, knowledgeable, and communicative. I'll be back. Highly recommended. read more

on a family trip from Cape Coral my Subaru's dash board light up like a Christmas tree every electronic device went crazy. Gas gauge went to empty, cruise control stopped working, engine light, brake light, everything came in or off. Somehow made it to our hotel. Next morning started the process of finding a garage. By chance I drove to Larry's auto. This had to be Devine guidance. I showed up with no appointment told them what was happening and left the car. I call later that day expecting the worse. They reset the electronics and found no issues. I have since driven back to Cape Coral and up and back to Orlando with no further issues. The total cost was no charge. This garage was a god send. I recommend them highly. They could have charged me anything they wanted. God bless them!! read more

I came to change the tires of my car, the service in this place is quick, professional and friendly. The best thing of these place is the honesty of the owner and the employees. I highly recommend this place. read more

I've been taking my car to Larrys for over 5 years, and it is the best place. The team is always helpful, patient to explain what is going on and presenting alternatives as how to fix and resolve the issues/problems. you can tell they love what they do, care for their clients, and do the best for their customers. They are so honest and help the client evaluate the priority and timing on resolving issues. Pricing is really good, lets be realistic, all depends on the type of problem and type of car you own... (always original parts) Today i finally took the time to write this, and I can say,,,... THANK YOU to the whole team, you are the best!!! read more

great customer service & they take great care of my vehicle. you will most likely need to make an appointment. Thanks guys

Be AWARE!!!! $$$218.28 for doing nothing!!!!! The goods reviews from YELP is what brought me here in the first place. I moved from Connecticut about a year ago, so I don't know many places around Miami yet. Its true that the place was very packed, my point of view there's way more cars there than can handle. My Mercedes was sitting there for two days and a half for ''DIAGNOSTICS'', which they didn't do it well, apparently they couldn't find any thing. My car has died every other day, as it did from the garage to my way home about 1.5 miles. The brakes are still kicking back every time I brake, which they said they did a ""road test"" and didn't notice anything.... The door actuator needs to be replaced, I'm a Realtor and contractor and I can figurate that without diagnostic test (what secret there's on a car door lock?!?!?) I'm curioso to find out TWO things: What's going to be the diagnostics on the other place..... What's going to be Larry's explanation for this here, because in person he couldn't do it. As a prove of a good business person I would expect some reasonable explanation. read more

Larry's Service Center - $$ 218,28 and 2 1/2 days waiting for diagnostics, for nothing! Maybe they should rethink on amount of they can handle - Auto Repair Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Great experience at Larry's this morning. My car had a flat because of a nail in the tire, and they fixed it quickly, and at a very reasonable price. They saved my day, top service and everyone there was super friendly! read more

When heading to an auto repair shop, there is usually a sense of dread that overcomes me. I'm not a car person, nor do I understand the mechanics or prices of car services. Recently, I had to get 3 tires replaced, which I knew was going to be expensive. I realized I was about to drop some serious cash on my car, and I wanted to go somewhere where I would not be taken advantage of. This is where Larry's Auto Service Center steps in. I read really good reviews on Yelp, and I was hoping that I would receive the same good service I saw other yelpers experience. I arrived to Larry's bright and early at 8am when it first opened to drop off my car. I was warmly greeted by the manager Gary. He didn't have the tires I wanted in stock, but he was going to order them and give me a call when he got them. My car had to stay overnight before they were able to install the new tires, but I knew my car was in good hands. When I went to pick up my car, Gary even gave me a 10% discount just because! He was always very happy, kind, and straightforward with me. When I got my car back, I was really happy with the service that I had received. I'll definitely visit Larry's again for all my car needs. read more

They took time to check out my tires and give me an honest assessment. They got my tire pressures correct and charged nothing. Great experience read more

I drove from NY and had a steady leak in my tire. Found Larry's and they were quick, reliable, honest and NICE. Didn't even charge me. Told me to just take care of the guy who patched up the leak. Told me that I was eventually going to need a new tire. Did not try to sell me one!!!! read more

I honestly trust this place and I was only there for 10 minutes. My check engine light came on, and I just wanted to get it checked out. Full of dread, I went to the nearest mechanic shop and luckily for me, this was it. One of the dudes stopped what he was doing and let me pull my car right in, and checked it out with an OBD2 scanner. Luckily it was nothing - the gas cap wasnt all the way tightened lol. But he also noticed my tire pressure light was on, and put some air in my tires, all for free. I honestly believe these guys are good people. Unlike common conceptions of mechanics. They're chill, helpful and caring. Next time I'm in the 305, if I have some car issues I know where I'm going. read more

Good service, came in for an HID replacement in my car and Garry and Pierre took good care of me. Really satisfied with the service and price! read more

Needed new tires on my car. Called Friday, got them ordered and then in on Monday. Only took a couple hours for them to get them on. Friendly service. Normally I wouldn't take my car anywhere but the dealer, but they have no appointments for months. This was a stress free easy fix. Thank you! read more

First time at Larry's today working with Gary who's been running the place for 20 years. They are a fabulous family owned business that does honest work and honest hours billed. I couldn't be happier to have been recommended to them and will certainly be my new local trusted shop. For anyone in the area.... just an FYI prior to finding Larry's I went to Tire Choice - Goodyear in their attempt to force me into buying two tires saying the leak was near the sidewall and could be dangerous... which it wasn't, I plugged it myself. I called them on that lie and they said I was right, they just won't patch tires that were plugged. Picked up the car, took it to Larry's where a simple tire patch was done for $35 in an hour as opposed to being forced into purchasing two tires by Tire Choice. So then I took my other car over to Larry's for a new battery same day. They work on high end cars too so that's a plus. read more

Needed an oil change and saw great reviews from this shop. Not only did they do my oil change within 30 min they fixed my bumper and another part that was lose on the front of the car that they fixed without me even asking them to look at it! Great service and great people! Would recommend them to anyone. read more

I recently moved to the mid-beach area to develop my personal training business. Unfortunately not long after moving here my otherwise reliable old Honda Civic started having a couple problems. Took her to a local Honda dealer and had too many bad experiences. When she started overheating I needed to find a trusted mechanic shop on the beach. I initially read through the reviews for Larry's and saw a couple bad reviews that gave me trepidation. Nonetheless I decided to give Larry's a chance. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. I never mentioned my brakes, but knew it was time for them to be replaced. They gave my car an inspection and recommended I change the brakes. The Honda dealer damaged my wheel locks and lugs. Larry's fixed that as well. They resolved my overheating issue as well as a suspension issue I forgot I even mentioned. They did all this for me and charged me FAR less that what the dealer would charge. When I was picking up my car and paying at the cashier, I vaguely overheard a conversation between one of the techs and possibly a manager regarding his attempts to fix another customer's car issue at the most amicable rate in an effort to help the customer. This goes entirely against the cliched perception many have regarding mechanic shops. I'm still struggling to build my own business but I owe these guys some pizza and beer. Though as a trainer I probably should recommend salad and water :/ Special credit shown for Gabriel who took care of me read more

Great service! Made an appointment for a an oil and filter change - they took me on time, turned me around in about an hour, and sent me on my way with fair and transparent pricing. Friendly staff, well organized and active operation. They are my new preferred auto shop! Thank you, Larry's! read more

I fully trust this place, which is the only place I visit for my car. They do a free and detailed checkup of your car. Never was disappointed or felt ripped of! Highly recommend it! read more

affectedbylarry@gmail.com Hi, I want to tell my experience with them as it seems all the reviews in here are from family or friends: I took my car (a Mini Cooper with less than 40,000 miles) just to change a flat tire. When i picked it up, it showed up an alarm stating that my motor was broken and needed service. I had to take it back to the same people, explaining this happened directly in their service center and asked them to check it. Suddenly, the day after, I received a call from them saying that I had to change two spark plugs (total of $1,200). They also told me that I needed to change the brakes and air filter. I asked them if that would solve the problem, and their answer was that "of course they are professionals". "Of course" I received a call the same afternoon explaining that unfortunately it was something else and that I needed to change the commutator and it will be an additional $2,500 for a total of $3,700!!!. Solution:I decided to take my car to a serious service center. Please do not trust the reviews!!! They are done by the same people working in the service center or their family & friends. They are a fraud!!! I have created the gmail account affectedbylarry@gmail.com so all the people affected by this shameless can get together and try to denounce this people. Please do not hesitate to write to this email if you had a similar problem. read more

Professional, very friendly service., and great follow up. Took the time to explain the issues. I didn't feel taken advantage of like other shops, such as Deel VW. I highly recommend them for anyone living on the beach. read more
