Cheap/reliable indy/backyard mechanic in SoFlo

Just moved down to the area and am not allowed to work on my car in the condo garage... Thanks HOA! Anyway looking for a cheap indy/backyard mech who does good work or another wrencher who'd let me put my car up so i could work on my car.. I saw some place around Miami that charges 20 an hour to use lifts.. kinda defeats the purpose at that point.

Thanks!

Preferably Boca Raton/Delray area

I use Elite Roads for my alignments which is located on Commercial Blvd in Ft. Lauderdale or you could try Weber Alignments in West Palm Beach.

What's up fellas!

This is an indy located in North Miami, he used to work at South Motors BMW. Great mechanic and honest, he has his own shop. Helped me out with some noise that was coming from he wheels bearings and end links.

Details are below:

All Pro European
Baha (I believe thats' how his name is spelled)

15431 NE 21 AVE. Bay 3
North Miami Beach, FL 33160
305.924.5594

I know its not in Boca or Delray but if find yourself on i-95 heading south its great and honest option!

Creative Colors in Davie, FL for body work and Ultimate Euro Repair in Davie for anything else, both are very reasonable, but idk about allowing you to use their lifts.

If you want a shop that's highly regarded (a bit expensive but from what I know they do good work on euro cars) you can go to:
Eurowerks - think they're in Deerfield

If you are looking for a decent mechanic who works mostly on our type of cars who does honest work and won't charge you an arm and a leg, try:
Marcello's Automotive Repair
Located in Boca near 2nd ave and glades. He just moved from a location on Dixie near Mizner park so google might still give you that address. He's a good guy.

Pm me for more info.
