Southport Auto Repair is a family-run shop on SW 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, and German engineering is our specialty. Your Volkswagen gets professional diagnostics and quality parts — without the dealership markup.
From routine factory maintenance to check-engine diagnostics, brakes, A/C and electrical troubleshooting, we service the full VW lineup with honest quotes and no upsells.
European cars aren’t harder to fix. They’re harder to fix right without the proper tools — and that is exactly what we do.
We service Volkswagen with professional diagnostic tools and quality replacement parts, then verify the repair before the car leaves.
When a warning light appears, we diagnose first and explain in plain language. What needs doing now versus what can wait — you get a straight answer every time.
We service the full Volkswagen lineup, from hatchbacks to SUVs, including electric models.
The original hot hatch territory. Oil service, brakes and maintenance.
The performance icon. Brakes, cooling and performance upkeep.

Heat, traffic, salt air and highway commutes wear every car differently, including a Volkswagen. We build the repair around how the car is used, not just the warning light on the dash.
