Dodge Auto Repair & Service
Dodge service from a shop that started as a race car garage in 2006. ASE certified technicians, photos of everything we find, and a 36 month nationwide warranty.
Your Dodge works hard, whether that's the school run or the on ramp
Johnny's started in 2006 as a race car garage. Brian and his wife Niki were building cars that had to survive a Saturday night, and that background still shapes how we look at a Dodge. A Charger, a Challenger, or a Durango asks more of its brakes, cooling, and driveline than a small commuter does, so we check those systems with that in mind instead of running a generic once over.
Most of the Dodges we see are doing everyday work anyway. School runs in a Durango, a full back seat on the way to practice, a V8 that commutes all week and gets driven the way it was built to be driven on Saturday. Both jobs matter, and both wear parts in predictable ways. Heat is the common thread in Central Florida. Cooling systems, transmission fluid, and brake fluid all live a harder life here than they would up north, and all three are easy to stay ahead of once somebody actually looks at them.
Every visit starts with a digital inspection. Our ASE certified technicians photograph what they find and send it to your phone, so you see the worn pad or the seeping hose yourself before you decide anything. We tell you what needs attention now, what can wait, and what still looks fine. Repairs are backed by a 36 month, 36,000 mile nationwide warranty, and we keep records of the maintenance we perform. The rule Brian and Niki set on day one was to put the customer over the money, and that is still how all six shops run.

What Dodge owners say about our work
I came in having an issue with my Oil Cooler on my Dodge Charger. I am so glad I took my car here to get the work done and not the dealer. They even installed an upgraded aluminum oil cooler so that it wont happen again. The service was amazing, and they notify you every step of the way. The pricing was also fair and no added bs or lies. I will be taking my car here for now on for any issues I want fixed. Thank you for your kind service Rebecca.

These folks are awesome. My van was an absolute mess with a plethora of issues (it’s a dodge grand caravan). The guys at Johnny’s diagnosed all the issue with pictures to back up their evaluation. I couldn’t justify the cost of parts and repairs to my vehicle so I declined any service from them. They graciously accepted my decision and gave me back my vehicle without charging me anything for the diagnosis. Super professional and polite. I will use this mechanic again when I need future vehicle repairs.

Why choose us for Dodge
A race car garage background
We opened in 2006 building cars for the track. The habit of checking cooling, brakes, and driveline the way they behave under load never went away, and it shows up in how we inspect a V8 Dodge.
You look at what we look at
Inspection photos go straight to your phone. If we say a rotor is scored or a bushing is done, you are looking at the same picture the technician is.
Factory maintenance, documented
We perform factory scheduled maintenance and keep the records, so a newer Dodge stays covered under its factory warranty while you use an independent shop.
Covered 36 months, 36,000 miles
Our repairs carry a nationwide warranty for 36 months or 36,000 miles. That matters on a car you plan to keep well past the payoff date.
Six shops, one standard
Haines City, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Frostproof, Sebring, and Wauchula are staffed by ASE certified technicians and run the same way, because the same family owns all of them.
