Business Profile: Vertical Automotive

August 20, 2026

When it comes to keeping your vehicle safe, reliable, and running its best, finding a shop you can actually trust is everything. For thousands of South Florida drivers, that shop has been Vertical Automotive.

Serving the community since 1989 from 1100 W. Oakland Park Blvd. in Wilton Manors, Vertical Automotive has grown to a second location at 707 NE 11th Street in Fort Lauderdale, making honest service easier to reach no matter where you are in Broward. Whether you drive a compact sedan, a European luxury car, an SUV, a pickup, a hybrid, or the newest EV, the team has the training and equipment to get it right the first time.

Owners Eugene and Maria run the business on a simple idea: tell people the truth about their car. Alongside Service Director Lazaro and Service Advisors Reece and Niya, every repair starts with a full inspection and a clear explanation of what the vehicle actually needs, with no pressure, no padded estimates, and no work you didn’t agree to. That approach has built a fiercely loyal customer base across Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.

Vertical Automotive handles nearly everything:

Factory-scheduled maintenance
Oil changes
Engine and electrical diagnostics
Brakes
Suspension and steering
Batteries
A/C service
Transmission repair
Cooling systems
Tires
Complete vehicle inspections

ASE-certified technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment and quality parts, and every job is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

Vertical Automotive is also a proud part of Wilton Manors’ LGBTQ+ community, welcoming every customer with the same honesty and respect. It’s a shop where you’re treated like a neighbor, because that’s exactly what you are.

What Sets Vertical Automotive Apart

What really sets the shop apart is how it treats people. Customers talk about the friendly front counter, straight answers, fair pricing, and the relief of knowing their car is in good hands. Everyone gets the same respect walking through the door, a standard the Wilton Manors community has counted on for over three decades.
