Engine and General Auto Repair
From overheating and oil leaks to starting problems and transmission service, one experienced shop for the whole car.
4.9Top Car Performance is a full-service auto repair shop. Our lead mechanic has more than 20 years of experience with gasoline, diesel and alternative fuel engines, transmissions, suspension, brakes and electrical systems, and has led teams of mechanics on complex repairs.
We repair what other shops send away. That includes oil and coolant leaks, overheating, timing chains and belts, water pumps, starters and alternators, wiring faults and custom fabrication. Every repair starts with a diagnosis and a written estimate, and we call you before doing anything that was not approved.
Repairs we handle
- Oil leaks: valve cover, oil pan, rear main and filter housing gaskets
- Overheating: water pumps, thermostats, radiators, hoses and fans
- Timing belts, timing chains and tensioners
- Starters, alternators, batteries and wiring repair
- Transmission fluid service and drivability problems
- Exhaust repair, welding and custom fabrication
Systems we work on
| Item | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Leaks, misfires, timing, ignition, fuel delivery | Gasoline, diesel and hybrid engines |
| Cooling | Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, fans | Florida heat is hard on cooling systems |
| Electrical | Starting, charging, wiring, modules | Battery drain and intermittent faults |
| Drivetrain | Transmission service, axles, differentials | Shifting, vibration and noises |
| Exhaust | Leaks, hangers, catalytic converters | Noise, smells and emissions faults |

Built for trucks, SUVs and performance cars
Our lead mechanic built Russia's first Bigfoot monster truck and has prepared vehicles that won in autocross, ice racing and off-road competitions. That background means we are comfortable with lift kits, cooling and exhaust upgrades, snorkels, winches and protective parts, as well as everyday repairs on your commuter car.
Our shop is at 1048 NW 1st Ct, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009, and serves drivers from Aventura, Hollywood, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami Beach and Miami. See all areas we serve.

TopCar is great. Alex and Taras do amazing work. They worked on my Range Rover and its almost like new now. I highly recommend them
I came to Top Car Performance for tire mounting and wheel balancing because my neighbour recommended. Before that, I had stopped at two other tire shops (won’t name them), but the steering wheel was still shaking and I could feel vibration while driving. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. ...

Great experience with this auto repair shop. I came in for a full engine diagnostic. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and clearly explained all the issues and costs. They fixed the problem and made sure everything was running properly before I picked up the car. ...
Perfect. Alex best mechanic in the area
I’ve been servicing my vehicles at Top Car Performance for a while now. I’ve already done brake service, suspension work, and regular maintenance here, so when I needed leaf springs replacement and rear axle replacement, I came straight to Alex.

Knowledgeable, honest, reliable mechanic and people you can trust with you car.

Alex is the only mechanic I truly trust with my car. He’s honest, straightforward, and never pushes you into repairs you don’t need. He’ll tell you clearly if something needs to be fixed right away or if it can wait, no scare tactics, no “money hungry” vibe. ...
The car was pulling to one side and felt unstable. They checked my suspension and steering and fixed the worn parts. If you need suspension repair near me, this is the place
I took my car to Top Car Performance for some much-needed repairs and couldn't be happier with the service. Alex was incredibly professional and, most importantly, honest about what actually needed to be fixed. He didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary parts. I highly recommend them if you want a mechanic you can actually trust!
My car started overheating in traffic. I came in for cooling system repair, and they found a coolant issue right away. Fast fix and clear explanation. Definitely recommend!!!
My car suddenly started jerking and I saw smoke coming from the exhaust, I got really scared. I came to Top Car Performance and the guys checked everything and explained that one of the cylinders wasn’t working. They fixed it, and my car now drives smooth and even better than before. ...
I had a great experience with this shop. The team was straightforward, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained the problem in plain terms, and gave me realistic options instead of trying to upsell unnecessary work. ...
I’m pretty particular about who touches my car, so I don’t trust shops easily. After this experience, I can say I’d come back without hesitation. From the first conversation, they treated me like someone who actually cares about their car, not just another quick job. ...
