Oakland Park residents often frequent the Living in Oakland Park Group looking for recommendations. One of the most frequently asked is, “Who can recommend a good mechanic/shop in Oakland Park?”. Choosing a mechanic can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
Second to a home, a car is one of our most significant investments. It’s no wonder then that we are always looking for the best of the best to work on them and treat us fairly in the process. While things like the best price in town are nice, it’s important to remember that you are entrusting professionals to not only keep your car running but keep you and others safe on the road.
This list of Oakland Park mechanics and shops was compiled using specific criteria: word-of-mouth and reviews.
Word-of-mouth: To be featured, the mechanics had to be recommended at least two times or more in the Living in Oakland Park Facebook Group. Reviews: Let’s face it, we all scan the reviews before we go almost anywhere these days, and a mechanic shop should be no exception. All of the following shops had at least 4.5-star reviews or higher, except for one up-and-coming shop that does not yet have any ratings yet.
Finally, location. The shops must be located in Oakland Park. While many do not mind traveling for top-notch service, it is always best to find a shop close to home or work, especially in an emergency situation.
