A Family-Run Auto Repair Shop in Fort Lauderdale
Southport Auto Repair is a family-owned shop on SW 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, serving local drivers since 2009. No chain, no franchise - just honest diagnostics, clear communication and repairs done right.
Most of our customers have been with us for years, and many were sent by a neighbor or a friend. That is the reputation we work to keep, one car at a time.
Simple, honest auto repair - on purpose
Southport Auto Repair is not a chain or a franchise. We are a neighborhood shop that has been serving the Fort Lauderdale community since 2009 with honesty, consistency and real technical know-how.
We have kept things simple on purpose. No gimmicks. No pushy upsells. No surprise repairs. Just straightforward service from a small team that takes pride in what it does.
We service all makes and models — family SUVs, work trucks, daily drivers, and European cars alike. Our approach stays the same no matter what pulls into the bay: find the actual problem, explain it clearly, and fix what your vehicle actually needs - nothing more, nothing less.
Repairs and maintenance we handle every day
From routine maintenance to check-engine diagnostics, these are the jobs our technicians do day in and day out.
Engine Diagnostics
Check-engine lights and drivability concerns diagnosed to the actual cause, not guessed at with parts.
Brake Repair
Pads, rotors, calipers and brake inspections for stop-and-go Broward driving.
A/C Repair
Leak diagnosis, compressors and airflow fixes that survive a South Florida August.
Oil Changes & Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance and oil service, done on schedule and explained in plain language.
Suspension & Steering
Shocks, struts and steering work for a safe, comfortable ride.
Transmission Service
Transmission diagnostics, service and repair.
A few things we do not do
Honesty cuts both ways. Here is where we draw the line:
No customer-supplied parts
We do not install parts customers bring in. To stand behind our work, we supply the parts used for repairs and select quality components appropriate for the vehicle and service.
No work without your approval
Nothing gets done without a clear quote first. If we find something unexpected, we call you, explain it, and wait for your go-ahead.
No pressure, ever
If a repair can wait, we tell you it can wait. If it cannot, we tell you why. Straight answers, no script.
No hiding behind forms
We do not hide behind online forms or automated booking systems. If your car needs work, just stop by or call us and we will talk it through.
Stop by or give us a call.
If your car needs work, just stop by or call us. We will talk it through, check it out, and let you know what is going on. No pressure. No nonsense.
Fort Lauderdale drivers talk about fair prices, no upselling, clear communication and long-term trust.
