Mechanical repair, diagnostics, brakes, AC, maintenance and tires for every kind of car, tested before anything is replaced.

Auto Repair in Hollywood, FL

When your car starts acting up, you want someone who will actually listen and tell you what's going on in plain English. That's how we work at Flame Auto Repair. We're a family-owned shop in Hollywood, FL, and we handle mechanical repair, maintenance, and more under one roof, so you're not driving all over town to get your vehicle sorted out.

Maybe you noticed a shaking at highway speed, a clunk over bumps, or a pedal that feels softer than it used to. Maybe a warning light came on and you have no idea what it means. Bring it in. We start by hearing you out, then we inspect and run diagnostics when they're needed to find the real cause, not just a guess.

Clear estimates, no surprises

Once we know what's happening, we explain it and give you a clear estimate with your options laid out. Nothing gets done until you say the word. We'll tell you straight what needs attention now for safety, what can be scheduled soon, and what's fine to keep an eye on for a while. That way you decide what fits your budget and your week, not us.

We'd rather fix the root of a problem than throw parts at it and hope. Confirming the cause first means you're not paying for things your car never needed.

One shop for the whole job

From everyday maintenance and oil changes to brakes, AC, steering, suspension, and no-start headaches, we keep your car running the right way and keep you updated as we go. Whatever brought you here today, pick the service below that matches what you're dealing with, and we'll take it from there.

Not sure where to start? Give us a call at (754) 400-0738 and tell us what you're noticing. We'll help you figure out the next step.

Our auto repair services

Mechanical Repair

When something under the hood or beneath your car stops working right, we track down the cause before touching a part. We handle motor trouble, braking faults, worn steering and suspension pieces, overheating and electrical gremlins, confirming the root problem with testing first. You get a clear estimate in plain English, and no work begins in our Hollywood shop until you approve it.

Car AC Repair

When the air blows warm or weak, there is usually a reason worth finding before adding anything. We check for leaking refrigerant, a worn compressor, blower faults and electrical issues, pinpointing the source first. If a leak is losing refrigerant, we fix that before recharging, so the system holds. You leave knowing what was wrong and what it took to make the air cold again.

Brake Service & Repair

Brakes let you know when something is wrong, usually through a soft pedal, grinding or squealing. This service is for any driver who no longer feels fully confident stopping. We inspect the pads, rotors and the rest of the system to find what is actually worn, then repair it and test the result, so you get back to smooth, quiet, reliable braking with no guesswork.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics

A check engine light can mean something minor or something serious, and the light alone does not tell you which. This is for drivers facing that glowing dashboard warning. We read the stored trouble codes, then test further to pin down the real cause rather than guessing. We fix the actual problem instead of just clearing the code, so the light does not simply come back on.

Car Maintenance & Oil Changes

Staying on top of maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid surprises. This is for every driver who wants their car to keep running without drama. We change your oil and handle routine servicing, checking fluids, belts and the small wear items along the way. When we spot something starting to go, we tell you what needs attention now and what can safely wait.

Tire Service

Tires are the only thing connecting your car to the road, so fit and condition matter. We stock both new and pre-owned options and help you choose the correct size, load rating and type for how you drive. If you are unsure what your vehicle needs, we walk you through the choices in plain English so you drive away on tires that suit it.

Free Level 1 Diagnostic Scan

If a warning light has you worried, this quick scan is a simple starting point. We hook up a code reader, retrieve the stored trouble codes and tell you what those codes commonly indicate, along with a sensible next step. Keep in mind this is a basic read, not a full inspection, so deeper testing may still be needed to confirm the real fault.

Steering and Suspension Repair

Pulling to one side, clunking over bumps or a wandering feel usually points to worn steering or suspension parts. We check the shocks, struts, joints, bushings and related components to find what is causing it, then repair what needs attention. Doing this keeps your car stable, smooth over the road and safer to handle, and nothing gets replaced until testing confirms it is the cause.

Starting & Charging Systems

A car that cranks slowly, clicks or will not start at all often has a problem in the charging or starting circuit. We test the parts involved, the power source, the cranking motor and the charging unit, to see which one is actually at fault. That way we fix the real issue instead of swapping good parts, so you are not left stranded another morning.

Transmission Repair

Transmission Repair is for slipping, harsh or delayed shifting and fluid leaks under the car. We diagnose what the transmission is actually doing before recommending repairs, so you are not paying for guesswork. Based on what testing finds, we repair the cause and explain your options along the way. You get a clear estimate first, and nothing moves forward until you approve it.

Timing Belt Replacement

Timing Belt Replacement is maintenance that prevents a costly surprise. A timing belt wears quietly, and if it snaps it can cause serious engine damage. We replace the belt along with the related parts that wear with it, so you are not back soon for the same job. If you are near the recommended interval, we will check it and lay out a clear estimate.

Cooling System Repair

When the temperature gauge climbs or you spot coolant under the car, we trace the leak or overheating to its source. We check radiators, hoses, the water pump and thermostat, then repair the actual cause so your engine stays protected from heat damage. This is for Hollywood drivers dealing with overheating in traffic or coolant smells, before a small leak turns into something major.

Diesel Repair

Diesel trucks and cars run differently, so they need servicing that respects that instead of treating them like any gas engine. Whether you are dealing with hard starts, smoke, fuel system faults or routine maintenance, we test to find what is really going on. Then we lay out a clear estimate and handle the repair the right way to keep your diesel dependable.

Call (754) 400-0738

Do I need to go to separate shops for mechanical trouble and body damage?

No. At Flame Auto Repair in Hollywood, FL we handle both under one roof, so whether you've had a breakdown or an accident you can get diagnostics, repairs, maintenance, collision work and paint in one place instead of bouncing between shops. Call us at (754) 400-0738 to talk through what your vehicle needs.

How do you decide what gets fixed first when my car needs several repairs?

We inspect the vehicle, explain what we found in plain English, and sort it into what needs fixing now for safety, what can be scheduled soon, and what can wait and be monitored. That way you can prioritise based on your budget, and no work starts until you approve the estimate.

What affects the cost of a repair, and will I know the price before you start?

Cost depends on the parts involved, how much labour the job takes, and what our diagnosis turns up as the real root cause. We give you a clear estimate with options before anything begins, so there's no guesswork and no surprise charges. Nothing moves forward until you say yes.

How quickly should I bring my car in when I notice a problem?

If you notice pulling, shaking, clunking, soft brakes, overheating or a check engine light, it's worth getting it looked at soon, since small issues often turn into bigger, pricier repairs when ignored. Call (754) 400-0738 and we'll start by listening to what's going on and run diagnostics if needed.
