Under your hood.
In your corner.
Family-owned for 10 years. We show you the problem, quote the exact price, and send you video while we work. No upselling. Ever.
Built for passion. Driven by performance.
Homosassa, FL · Since the beginning
25+ years under the hood.
Driveways, backyards, borrowed engine hoists. Long before the shop had a name, we were pulling engines and fixing what other people gave up on. Same hands. Same obsession.
You’ve been here before.
You drop your car off. A few hours later the phone rings, and suddenly it needs three more things.
You can’t see any of it. So you say yes and hope.
That’s not bad luck. That’s a shop that doesn’t show its work.
The Open Hood Process
Nothing happens to your car that you don’t see first.
- 01
Consultation call
Every job starts with a conversation. We’re appointment-only, so when you’re here, you have our full attention.
- 02
Straight diagnosis
We show you what’s happening, which parts fix it, and the exact cost. No upselling, on any part, ever.
- 03
Install, on camera
We send you video updates every step of the way. You see the work while it happens.
- 04
Full-vehicle check
Before you leave, we go over the rest of your car. What needs attention now, and what can wait. Aware, never pressured.
- 05
Pickup
One of our technicians walks you through everything and gets you back on the road safely.

Life at GarajHQ.
From hunting down project cars to bringing them back. New episodes every Thursday.
A family shop. Since day one.
GarajHQ started with a crew in Vertientes, Cuba. Nothing fancy, just hard work, the essential tools, and a lot of grit.
Ten years ago we brought that here to Homosassa. Today it’s the same family, with 25+ years under the hood and one rule: treat every car like it’s ours, and every customer like family.
Y sí, se habla español.
