Was having so issues with the plastic below the front bumper dragging. This happen Friday night so I was edger to get it figured out asap. Mario's is one of the few places open on Saturday and at 8am when I called, owner picked up right away. I explained my problem and he said they would take a look and what some potential outcomes would be. When I got there jose was working on another car. Mario helped with the communication since jose didn't speak English much and I don't speak Spanish well at all. They had a few chairs for me to sit and wait while the pouring rain slowed down. Once it did. Jose got the car on the lift and assessed the issue. He helped get some clips back in place and zip tied for extra security. Mind you at one point we were both in the pouring rain and yet jose was not in any rush and was making sure the bumper liner was good. Made the car a lot more comfortable for me to drive until I get it checked out by a body shop. They were very very generous with pricing and I was happy to tip jose a couple bucks. Appreciate them and nice to know they are around the corner for my car needs. THANK YOU

If you need repairs to your car, YOU NEED TO GO HERE 1000%! Ask for Mario, he is absolutely amazing! We are from Canada and drove to Florida and when we showed up our brakes needed to be done and we needed our vehicle for the week that we were in Florida. Mario got us in literally ONE HOUR after I initially called him and our vehicle was done that same afternoon! His prices are fantastic, and he didn't pressure me at all, even offered to show me all the parts and explained why they need replacing. Very honest man! If you're travelling and are out of your comfort zone and want an honest mechanic to solve your vehicle needs, go here and ask for Mario! Very satisfied customer and will be coming back to him every time we come to Florida and need work done on our car, this garage just got a new customer for as long as this business exists!

After Brickell Honda was trying to rip me off for a new starter ($1100 plus labor and tax) I took my car to Mario because I wasn't trusting what Honda was telling me. Mario kept me in the loop the whole time, got to work immediately, was able to tell it was not the starter within 10 minutes and then properly diagnosed the issue and fixed it all for less than $200 total and in under 2 hrs. I had taken my car to Brickell Honda because I am new to town and didn't have a mechanic I trusted here yet and figured even though they wouldn't be the cheapest, they'd at least be honest but I quickly lost trust for them... thank you so much Mario for saving me $1000 and all that hassle. I definitely have a mechanic I trust now and will definitely be back for any future repairs!

  • Christina Hager

I came to Mario after calling around a few shops and telling them what I needed. They wanted to do more work than what was needed. I came for maintenance and knew what needed to be done, I used to do it myself until I didn’t have a garage anymore. Mario listened to what I needed and did an all-around check too to see if anything else was needed. He was honest and said everything else was in good shape. He worked on my car personally and did a great job, and replaced everything I asked for. His prices are good and fair and he is an honest mechanic, which is not always easy to find anymore. Will definitely be back for any maintenance needed.

  • Erica DePascale

Mario's auto shop is a MUST if you live in the Brickell area!!! I headed over to check it out after reading good reviews and he did not disappoint. Mario was extremely nice, welcoming to me and very attentive. He did a detailed check of my car and was VERY transparent and honest with me about what needed to be fixed. His prices are unbeatable in Miami and he didn't try to overcharge/BS anything at all. I got a cold bottle of water every time I was waiting there and his service was so fast both times I've gone. He really runs a great local and family business. I will be going here for everything I need on my car. Thanks Mario!

  • Matteo Mastronardi

Was recommended Mario’s repair shop by a friend and he did not disappoint! My car has been needing some work for a while now, but other repair shops kept trying to take advantage of me by saying even more things were wrong with my car when they in fact were not. Mario took care of my repairs and made real recommendations for preventative maintenance and offered the work at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this place! Communication is great and if you live in the Brickell area it’s so convenient to just drop your car and have them do their thing while you wait comfortably at home. Thanks Mario!!

  • Amanda Marzullo

Couldn't recommend Mario's Auto Repair enough!! My Honda Accord needed a battery terminal replaced and an oil change. The Honda dealership down the street quoted us an absurd amount and we wanted a second opinion. We chose to call Mario based off of all of the wonderful reviews online and are SO happy we did! Mario took us in right away and got everything taken care of for us! He charged us a 6th of what the dealership offered and did an amazing job! We will now always call Mario for our auto needs and recommend them to anyone in need of service. Thank you Mario and team!!

Mario Busto Auto Repair provided an outstanding service for my 2017 Subaru Impreza. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the necessary repairs in a way that was easy to understand. The work was completed on time, and the level of professionalism and courtesy Mario exhibited was second to none. The technicians were thorough, ensuring that every issue was addressed properly. I was truly impressed with the quality of their work, not to mention the fair pricing. My Impreza is now running smoother than ever, thanks to their expertise.

  • J Baik

My car (Nissan Altima) has been sitting in garage for almost a year (11 months) The car became so dirty, and Not operatable. Any Auto repair shops might just tell me change every oil, and parts since it looked so bad. But Mario took a day to check everything on my car, and told me the car was not so bad, and just needed to change engine oil, and real brake pads. Also the price was also very resonable. He finished his job on time as he promised. There was a reason everyone told me I should go this place before any other repair shops. Thank you Mario!

  • Kirsten Krieg

If you are looking/need a trustworthy mechanic, especially if located in the Brickell area, Mario’s Auto Shop is a must! I needed to have wheel bearings replaced and an oil change. He contacted me throughout the day to give me updates and made sure I knew everything was going smoothly. He was transparent and honest with me about cost and I truly believe his prices are unbeatable. Worth the drive to those who may live outside of Brickell. Mario and his team really run a great business. Thanks Mario!

  • Michael O'Banion

I've lived in Miami for 2 years now and even after moving 45 minutes away I still will call Mario and take my car only to see him! He has helped me more than any other car service location I have ever been to in my life! A very friendly and understanding guy, who takes the extra step to be flexible and helpful in any situation! Best prices I have seen for a lot of my car needs as well. I have and will continue to recommend Mario's to as many people as possible for their service needs!

  • Barbara Lebron

If you’re looking for excellent service and great value this is the place to go. Mario is professional honest and experienced, the service was excellent from the very first phone call. I have been to the top dealerships for repairs in the past and I must say the experience at Mario’s is by far the best. Support your local business owners it is a very rewarding and lasting experience. I completely recommend Mario’s . Thank you for the great services.

  • Lisa Berglund

Highly recommend, Mario was the best! I decided on this place based on the reviews and I'm so glad I did, I will only go to Mario now for my car repairs. Checked the car througholy, found the issues and explained to me in detail, gave me different price options, completed the work fast and for a reasonable price. This was the best experience I've ever had with an auto repair shop and I will be back for all our my car services! Thank you Mario!

  • Juan Torres

I have been a customer for over 20 years now. People are always looking for an honest Mechanic. If Mario says your cars has an issue, you can trust that it does and that you will be treated fairly and the work will be performed properly. Most recently I had an oil leak in my SUV and Mario was not only able to diagnose and repair, but also found another issue that was related to my AC and fixed that as well.

  • laurent isaure

A real mechanic.. you know someone that knows how to fix a car. I will not say anything about the other ones . Best surprise in a long time in magic city, an honest, competent, reasonably priced auto repair place. Next to downtown/Brickell. After losing my old mechanic due to the gentrification of midown, I am quite happy to have found it , if you are looking for a real mechanic go to Mario auto repair..

  • Theodore O'Brien

Mario took great care of my Jeep and completed the work right on time. For those worried about being quoted one price and then sold every up sell possible, Mario is very straightforward and even suggested I could put off a minor repair. Refreshing compared to those who push you to do every repair possible or inflate the bill. Definitely recommend Mario to others looking for an honest, capable mechanic.

  • Jonathan Vidaurrazaga

I've been coming here since I can drive and I've had a broken car, over 15 years. My family had been coming here for like 30 years, when Mario's dad ran the shop. I will keep coming here for as long as he owns this shop. He's honest and has good, decent prices. I always know he'll take care of me no matter what the issue may be. If you need your car fixed, then you should definitely give him a try.

  • Ernest Ivan

I've been going to Mario's for YEARS. Two un related people referred me to him: an attorney and a City of Miami Police officer. They steered me in the right direction. He's ABSOLUTELY professional, experienced, honest, and affordable. Him and his father have been in business and operated the location for decades. He'll earn your trust quickly and you'll be customer for life!

  • Bearded2kmen Studios

I was recommended to check out Mario's Auto Repair shop by a co-worker a couple of weeks because i needed the starter on my Sonata changed and boy he did not disappoint. I was extremely pleased by the service I received there and will continue to take my car to his shop. I'm actually in need of an oil change so, I'll be seeing you soon. You've gained a customer for life!

  • Jose Penas

Was impressed with the service given to me. Would highly recommed this place for you car repair needs. Thanks Mario.Your customer George.

  • Raven Saintil

My car suddenly stopped working, I wasn’t familiar with the area and Mario was practically closed. Instead of him turning me around he told me what the issue was and promised to fix it the next! He stayed open after hours just to make sure I got home safely and sure enough fixed my car the next morning!! Prices are also reasonable!!! I highly recommend!!

  • Jen Riley

Mario’s auto repair is the only spot I’d take my car for service and repairs. Extremely friendly, transparent, with fair prices. I had to have my starter replaced and Mario’s team completed the job in less time than they originally quoted. My dad especially liked that Mario was very knowledgeable, old school and had a firm handshake

  • Deborah Chupp

Mario personally called me when I sent an email about being stranded here in Miami. He helped me with a tow truck recommendation and coordinated everything to get my car to his shop. He runs an honest and affordable shop and my car runs great! Thank you Mario and to your team for all you did for me! I HIGHLY recommend Mario's!!

  • Araniko Pandey

Mario was amazing! I went there for an AC repair. He checked it and said there was no issue with the hardware. It was just some buttons that I didn’t clicked properly. And, more than that he didn’t even charge me anything for the diagnosis. He is a true professional. My five stars for the MARIO BUSTO AUTO CAR REPAIR!!!

  • David Yeomans

I met Mario over 20 years ago after having problems with my Firebird. He has since worked on my Nissan and three Hondas, and always without any problems. His prices are very competitive and most of the time includes the manufacturers replacement parts. I have been extremely satisfied with his services and fair prices.

  • Ley Zapata

Mario Busto is the man to see about your car!!!! Don't underestimate the size of the place, an honest and caring mechanic is priceless in Miami!!!! I just moved to the area desperately needed a mechanic. He could've taken advantage...he didn't...he has a customer for life!!! Go see Mario Busto!!

  • Kerry Botelho
