Comprehensive Computer Diagnostic, Preventive Maintenance and Repair
The most expensive repair is the one that could have been prevented. At Vertical Automotive in Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale, we follow manufacturer-specified maintenance schedules at 15k, 30k, 45k, 60k, and 90k mile intervals to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Our ASE-certified technicians inspect, service, and replace components before they fail — covering fluid changes, filter replacements, belt and hose inspections, brake checks, and more. Every service is performed in-house with quality parts and documented for your records. We treat preventive maintenance as an investment in your vehicle's longevity, not just a checklist.
Follow your manufacturer's recommended schedule — typically every 5,000–12,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. South Florida's heat, humidity, and stop-and-go traffic accelerate wear on fluids, belts, and cooling systems. If it's been a while since your last service or you're approaching a mileage milestone, schedule an appointment.
Consistent preventive maintenance avoids costly emergency repairs, maintains fuel efficiency, preserves your vehicle's resale value, and keeps your warranty intact. Our 36+ years of experience means we know what to look for at every interval — catching problems while they're still small and affordable to fix.
