Owner Emeritus: Orestes "JR" Triana
Orestes “JR” Triana has an extensive history in the automotive industry and is very active in the Dade County and the entire state of Florida auto repair community. JR comes from a long line of automotive technicians. His father, all of his uncles on his father’s side, and his grandfather’s brother were mechanics. He got his start in the industry at just seven years old when his father took to where he worked as the head mechanic at a Ford Dealership. From that early age, JR was hooked. His first auto repair job came in 1976 when he was hired as the head of “Get Ready” for Kendall Toyota. On the side, he also serviced cars for private customers at his father’s shop. Then in 1982, he and his father bought Green’s Garage to carry on the legacy it had created.
Green's Garage
Advanced Diagnostics & Mechanical Repair in Miami
Green's Garage is an independent automotive repair facility serving Miami since 1957. We specialize in diagnostics and mechanical repair for vehicles requiring more than routine service, with a focus on European, British, hybrid, and classic vehicles.
Much of our work involves electrical, drivability, cooling, and system-level problems that are difficult to isolate without structured testing. Routine maintenance is available, but for unresolved, intermittent, or system-level concerns, repairs begin with a diagnostic evaluation to determine root cause and repair direction.
We work by appointment and prioritize diagnostic-first service so repairs are performed correctly, efficiently, and without unnecessary repeat visits.
Vehicles We Commonly Service
Our workflow is built around vehicles that benefit from diagnostic-first repair and phased mechanical work.
- Mercedes-Benz
- BMW
- Jeep
- Volvo
- Audi
- Land Rover and Range Rover
- Jaguar
- Porsche (selective diagnostic and mechanical work)
- British classic vehicles including MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, and classic Land Rover models
- Hybrid vehicles excluding high-voltage battery replacement
Common Problems We Diagnose and Repair
Most vehicles come to Green's Garage after something has failed, returned, or never been resolved correctly, not simply because a service reminder appeared.
Common concerns include electrical warning lights, engine performance issues, oil or fluid leaks, overheating or coolant loss, suspension noise or handling concerns, brake vibration or pedal issues, air conditioning and climate control faults, hybrid system or charging-related problems, and classic vehicles that no longer run consistently or reliably.
Rather than replacing parts blindly, we begin with diagnostic testing to identify root cause and determine the correct repair sequence.
Engine, Electrical, and System-Level Diagnostics
Engine, electrical, and system-level concerns make up a large portion of our diagnostic work. These issues often involve multiple interacting systems and require testing, data analysis, and experience to resolve correctly.
We regularly diagnose engine-related concerns such as oil leaks, overheating-related damage, drivability faults, and performance issues. Electrical problems including intermittent faults, charging issues, and communication errors between vehicle modules are also core to our work.
Suspension, steering, ride-quality, air conditioning, and brake concerns are addressed diagnostically when symptoms indicate underlying system faults rather than isolated component wear.
What to Expect When You Schedule
For unresolved, intermittent, or system-level concerns, service at Green’s Garage begins with a diagnostic evaluation or mechanical assessment tailored to your specific issue. This allows us to identify the problem accurately and recommend repairs logically.
Routine maintenance appointments are available for supported vehicles. Diagnostic evaluation is required when warning lights, drivability issues, repeat failures, or complex symptoms are present.
