Question 2

Is it worth going to an independent shop instead of the Ford or Chevy dealer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Independent ASE-certified shops like Vertical Automotive typically charge 30-50% less than dealerships for the same repairs, using the same quality parts. We offer a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty — often longer than dealer warranties — and you deal directly with the technician working on your car, not a service writer on commission.

Question 3

Do you work on diesel trucks in Fort Lauderdale?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we service Ford Power Stroke, Chevy Duramax, and RAM Cummins diesel trucks. Diesel engines require specialized knowledge for fuel injection systems, turbocharger maintenance, DEF systems, and diesel-specific diagnostics. Our technicians have extensive experience with all three major diesel platforms and can handle everything from routine maintenance to major repairs.
