Mueller’s Foreign Car Service

Let me start off by saying that I am a mechanic myself and recently bought this truck off of a very nice retired lady.
The master cylinder that Mueller’s claimed to have changed 5 months ago was not replaced with a new part of replaced at all! I posted a picture of the yellowed plastic and rust. The rest of the engine compartment is clean and has no rust. If this item were changed with a new master cylinder, the plastic would be white and no rust. They either bought one from a Upick, or did not change the master cylinder and still billed the lady that I bought this truck off of twice the amount for the part that Autozone charged for a non-​plastic push rod style. I gave the owner of Mueller’s the ability to make things right, and they smugly said that there was no error made. I don’t know what other inferior parts were used on the truck… I can only wait until it breaks down again! I spent 3 hours on the side of I-​95 looking at the $ 950 bill for replacing various clutch parts…

Honest, competent and kind. What more could you ask for? In Miami — this is a huge find.

It is very hard to find some honest mechanic here in south Florida (especially if you are a woman and you recently moved here). This guy is an exception. He checked my car since I was having a small issue and instead of telling me there was some type of thing to change (which is what almost everybody would do to take advantage) he told me there was nothing wrong and just fixed the issue right away.
I will come back for sure.

Steve is great! These guys are helpful and honest– you’ll get a straightforward diagnosis of your car and they’ll fix it inexpensively.
Old school auto repair with great service!

I brought my wife’s car here after AAA refused to replace the battery under warranty because they claimed there was something wrong with the car that was draining the battery. Mueller’ did a full diagnosis and determined that there was no battery drain and they DID NOT CHARGE anything for their service. This attests to their honesty. Now I have ammunition to pursue the warranty claim against AAA.

I received a referral from a friend for this shop because my check engine light came on and I wanted a diagnostic test done. I called about ten auto shops first asking how much they would charge for something so simple and the cheapest price I got was $ 40! I happened to pass Muellers and decided to stop in. They immediately took my car in before I could even finish telling them my story and ran the test and fixed the problem (fresh air tube was clogged) FREE OF CHARGE. I will be recommending them any chance I get and also use their services in the future. Thank you so much guys! Unbelieveable for this line of work, seriously.

I live in North Eastern Illinois and am used to professional, and competent mechanics. I am now visiting the Miami area and a friends car pretty well died, and needed prompt service. She has been dealing with Mueller’s for many years, so I accompanied her when she brought the car there. After a quick examination by one of the mechanics, he said it was only a vacume hose that needed replacement.
Less than two hours later they called and said the car was fixed, and could be picked up. I was impressed by their competence, but mostly by their honesty. They could have told her it was a multitude of things wrong, but they didn’t, and for that reason I would recommend anyone needing service on their cars, to go to Muellers.

I normally don’t leave reviews but when I Unilocaled Mueller’s to get the phone number, I was shocked that they had such a low rating. I have lived in Miami for over 10 yrs and had looked for a decent mechanic for so many of those years! I finally found Mueller’s and I am so happy I did. I have a crappy old car and they have managed to keep it running smoothly without charging me a fortune. They are always fast and will take my car without notice. These guys are really great and I don’t take my car anywhere else.

I love Mueller’s! They came highly recommended by my in-​laws (who have been going there for about 30 years) and definitely did not disappoint. I wish they were open longer hours because it can be tough to get there if you work a 9 – 5 but that is my only complaint. They are trustworthy and have great prices — practically unheard of in Miami. And they don’t try to upsell you. For someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about cars, it’s a huge relief to have somewhere reliable and trustworthy to bring my car.

My husband and I recently moved to Florida from New Jersey. Lately my husband noticed that the brakes on my 2002 Toyota Camry were hardly working and I had to finally concede he was right. I asked a lot of people if they knew a good car mechanic and everyone laughed and said no – which was pretty surprising and discouraging. However, one person recommended Muellers, so I decided to try them. I described the problem over the phone and they said, yes, they could work on this and agreed to do it the next day. I dropped the car off about 9:00 AM and spoke with Steve. Around mid-​day Steve called with a diagnosis and estimate. He said both the front and rear brakes and rotor/​discs were completely rusted and needed to be replaced, and the brake pins were frozen and needed to be freed-​up. Steve asked if I had lived by the ocean in NJ and I said yes. I hadn’t told him that the car had also been outside during Super Storm Sandy in October. Although the car was never flooded, there was probably a lot of ocean spray around it, which I’m sure didn’t do it any good. Anyway, the car was ready around 4PM and it’s braking just perfectly. Parts were $ 2919 and labor was $ 228 with Hazmat and tax bringing it to $ 566.39. Steve tried to explain the details of what had been done, which I appreciate, even if I don’t completely understand it. Prompted by my husband, I had asked at the time of the estimate if the rotors could be machined instead of replaced, but Steve said they were too far gone. I’ve since read on the internet that many cars in the north are replacing their brake pads and rotors more frequently due to the municipalities now pre-​treating their roads with potassium chloride prior to a snowfall. Potassium chloride is much more corrosive than the old salt of sodium chloride. Hopefully, now that I’m in Florida, my car parts will have a longer life! I liked the Mueller’s shop. It’s small and you can walk right in and see what’s going on. I always hate it when I go to a large shop where the cars are hidden and I can’t see what they are doing and I can’t meet the guys actually working on my car. I’m happy with Mueller’s Foreign Car Service and will certainly go back again when I need service on my car.

I called to schedule a major service on my car (oil change, break replacement, belt replacement) and the man was extremely rude to me. I called 2 minutes after five thinking most places are open until 7 and he answered the phone by yelling «WE’RE CLOSED!». It took me by surprise and I said «excuse me?» and he repeated in an even more agitated tone «WE’RE CLOSED!». So I said «Ok, I’m sorry. I guess you don’t want my business. Have a good day». For a small business to treat the consumer like that they must not want to stay in business. If you’re closed, don’t answer the phone and I would have called back the next day. Screw them, I’ll just take my car to Honda and pay a little more for people to be nice to me.

We bring our car (GMC Envoy) to service there since years. And we had better experience with this company then with any GMC Rep. Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The service with Muellers Car Service is fast and good. And the prices are fair. The people are honest what is difficult to find in the Field. Thank you very much to there team.
