Had problems with my A/C and took it to Larry's Service Center. They thought it was the Compressor and after checking with me installed a new one. Also found a couple of other things wrong and replaced them. I picked up the car when expected and parked it for a couple of weeks. When went to use the car at that time the A/C wasn't working, I called Larry's again and they told me to bring it back right away. They had to replace a few other pieces but they did not charge me for them or the labor to do it. They called me and kept me abreast of the service along the way. At the end they washed and cleaned the car before turning it back to me. They aim to please and to do a good and professional job.

The manager, Gary, is really wonderful. He's cheerful, competent, and honest. He makes sure what needs to get done gets done!

Service was completed on schedule and with no surprises. Price was very good.
As an added bonus, when I dropped off my car they offered to give me a ride (in my car) back to my work.

Every time I go in the he always finishes the job under the estimated price. This last time I thought it would cost about $1,000 and he ended up coming in $300 under his $700 projected price. They are good and honest and always do a great job.

I've used Larry's several times. If you have car trouble, these people are a pleasure to work with. They are so honest, they have told me on two occasions I did not need service I had requested. They are prompt, and it's so easy to get your car to them anytime because you can leave it at their Chevron Station on Alton Rd. 24 hrs. a day. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I took the car in for the repair and had to return a second day for the job to be finished.

The date mentioned above is approximate.
I took my car to the local BMW dealer for and quot;service 2and quot;. They wanted to charge me over $3000 for the service and some miscellaneous work. I dropped my car off with Gary in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. When I asked him how much I owed he stated: and quot;$80and quot;. I told him that surely he misunderstood me and that this was supposed to be a major service. He responded: and quot;if you asked me to clean out your refrigerator, I could throw everything away and buy all new stuff OR I could check the expiration date on the milk, the yogurt, the cottage cheese, etc. and replace what's neededand quot;....
I've been using them ever since for both my car and my wife's car and have never been disappointed.

He did it as promised, when promised, and because he found nothing that needed repairing, he didn't charge me anything! Even though he probably spent 3-4 hours going over the vehicle. Oh, yes, he repaired one small oil leak by re-sealing.

Another excellent job by Mark. Car was difficult to shift and I suggested the clutch might be ready for replacement given it's age but Mark said that he would investigate. He called later to inform me that it was just the master and slave cylinders and it would be ready later in the day. I was ready and works well.

In dealing with Larry's, it's good to ask lots of questions. In particular, ask how necessary a certain job is, whether a less expensivebut workable alternative is available, what sort of warranty applies, and how long it might be before related work has to be done again. Your questions will be answered honestly.

I have used them a number of times. Very pleasant experience. I always deal with Gary, the manager I think. Once I said I needed an alignment. When I came to pick it up, he said it just needed a slight adjustment, and didn't charge me for it. He could have told me he did it and charged full price. No way I would have known. Other similar experiences give me the feeling they can be trusted, which isn't always the case in this business.

Performed repair quickly and for a very reasonable price. Check engine light returned but code-reader not available to check cause. Did not return for a code check. Vehicle inspection not required for registration renewal and car was sold "as is." Buyer was informed of problem. If I again need auto service in the southen half of Miami Beach, I would certainly include Larry's in my search for a repair shop

Since moving to Miami from Ohio, I have had a terrible time finding a good auto service center that I feel comfortable with. From day 1, the guys here have been so helpful and I'm very appreciative. For anything I need, I can just take my car over and they'll look at it right then and give me an honest opinion about what the situation is and if it's an easy fix. If I need to leave my car there for them to work on, someone always drives me to my office, which is very helpful.
