Frequently Asked Questions

Prestige Auto Repairs & Tires has two shops, in Oakland Park (250 NE 44th St) and Fort Lauderdale (930 NE 4th Ave), both open 7 days, 8 AM – 7 PM. Every job starts with a photo inspection and a written estimate you approve, and repairs carry a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. The answers below cover the questions we hear most.

Below you’ll find quick answers grouped by topic. If yours isn’t here, call Oakland Park at (954) 303-0758 or Fort Lauderdale at (954) 562-8045, or send us a message. We answer in English and Spanish.

Visiting the shops

Both shops are open 7 days a week, 8 AM – 7 PM, and take walk-ins. The Oakland Park shop at 250 NE 44th St also has a 24-hour lot with a key drop box. The Fort Lauderdale shop at 930 NE 4th Ave sits in Flagler Village near Sunrise Boulevard. Driving in from farther away? Our service areas page lists city guides from Wilton Manors to Boca Raton.

Estimates and approvals

Every job follows the same steps: inspection, photos, a written estimate, and your approval. Send photos, your VIN and any claim number through the estimate form to get started before you visit. When the estimate is ready, approve it from the link in your text or email.

Warranty and claims

Repairs carry our 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty at both shops. We also help with factory warranties, extended service contracts like CarMax MaxCare, and insurance claims after accidents and floods. Details are on the warranty page.

Brands and services

We specialize in European, exotic and electric cars and work on domestic cars too. Services range from diagnostics and maintenance to transmission, air suspension, electrical coding, in-house body and paint, glass, detailing and pre-purchase inspections. Browse every service.

Payments and paperwork

Every repair is documented on an invoice, along with the photos from the inspection. Keep both: it is your proof of service for your factory warranty, your extended-warranty administrator and our own 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. Fleet customers can set up an account with consolidated account billing, so every vehicle lands on one statement.

Languages

Both shops serve customers in English and Spanish, on the phone, by text and at the counter. Hablamos español.

Maintenance in South Florida

Heat, humidity, salt air and summer flooding wear cars differently here. Batteries, A/C systems, cooling parts, brakes and tires age faster than the owner’s manual expects. We check those on every visit and set maintenance around how and where you drive.

Questions drivers ask

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at both shops 7 days a week, 8 AM – 7 PM. You can also book online or request an estimate first.
Which shop should I go to?
Whichever is closer. Oakland Park is at 250 NE 44th St, (954) 303-0758. Fort Lauderdale is at 930 NE 4th Ave, (954) 562-8045. Both have the same standards and warranty. See service areas.
Can I drop off my car after hours?
Yes, at Oakland Park only. The lot is open 24 hours with a key drop box at the front door, and we call you in the morning.
Will you do any work without my approval?
No. We photograph what we find and send a written estimate. We only do the work you approve.
How do I approve an estimate?
Open the approval link in the text or email we send you. If it doesn't load, call either shop. See estimate approval.
What warranty do repairs come with?
A 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty, honored at both shops. Ask for the full written terms for your repair. See our warranty.
Will an independent shop void my factory warranty?
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, maintenance at an independent shop does not void your factory warranty when it meets factory specifications. We document every service.
Do you work with insurance and extended warranties?
Yes. We help file and fight insurance and extended-warranty claims, including CarMax MaxCare. See insurance and warranty claims.
Which brands do you service?
BMW and MINI, Mercedes-Benz including AMG and Sprinter, Audi, VW, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo and Alfa Romeo, plus Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maserati and Aston Martin. Also Tesla, Rivian and Lucid, and domestic cars.
Do you service Teslas and other electric cars?
Yes. Tires, brakes, suspension, A/C, 12V batteries and more on Tesla, Rivian and Lucid. See Tesla and EV repair.
Can you pick up my car?
Yes. We offer concierge pickup and delivery. Call the shop to schedule pickup. See concierge service.
How often should a European car get an oil change in South Florida?
Follow the factory interval as a maximum, but heat, short trips and stop-and-go traffic often justify going sooner. We set the interval for how you drive. See European oil change.
Why is my A/C blowing warm air?
Usually a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor or condenser, or a blend-door or electrical fault. We leak-test before recharging so you're not paying to refill a leak. See A/C repair.
What are the signs I need a wheel alignment?
The car pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off-center, or the tires wear on one edge. Potholes and curb strikes are common causes. See tires and alignment.
Do you have fleet or business accounts?
Yes. Fleet accounts get priority scheduling and consolidated account billing. See fleet and dealer accounts.
Two shops. One standard.
