Maybe you're tired of going to Hialeah every time your car breaks down. Sure, your guy there is dirt-cheap, but every drive ends up in frustration and wasted time. Your GPS can't even find its way around Hialeah. And then there's the unnecessary trip to Flamingo Plaza. Stop buying pantsuits you'll never wear, and stay central. The guys at Plaza Tire & Auto Center are the most honest and quick-working in Miami. They're not the cheapest, but they're efficient. This full-service, independently operated repair shop has been fixing domestic and imported vehicles since 1977. Let's look at the top three reasons why Plaza is the best: (1) Gabe Cortez and his son John work there. They look a lot alike, which is fun, and supporting a family-owned business is a blessing you bestow upon the local economy. (2) You know what Gabe is thinking by his earnest voice, so it's easy to trust him. And (3), you can eat yummy empanadas at Enriqueta's across the street while your oil gets changed. Plaza's hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
