In the lush, leafy neighborhood where Coral Gables meets Miami, Green’s Garage at 2221 SW 32nd Ave is an automotive institution. Since 1957, this family-run shop has evolved from a traditional local garage into one of the city's most advanced "Diagnostic-First" laboratories, specializing in the complex intersections of European engineering and modern hybrid technology.
The Green’s "Diagnostic-First" Edge
The Scientific Approach: Unlike shops that rely on "parts-replacement logic" (guessing which part is broken), Green’s operates on a structured testing protocol. They utilize high-end tools like 8-channel pico-scopes to look at electrical signals in real-time, making them the "mechanic’s mechanic" for electrical gremlins that other shops can't solve.
The Hybrid & EV Specialization: Green’s has positioned itself as Miami’s premier alternative to the dealership for Tesla, BMW i-Series, and Toyota Hybrid owners. They specialize in high-voltage A/C systems and system-integration diagnostics—solving the complex "handshake" issues between electric motors and gasoline engines.
European & Classic Mastery: While they are tech-forward, they haven't forgotten their roots. They are a sanctuary for Classic Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and British imports, offering a level of tactile expertise and "mechanical empathy" that modern corporate chains often lack.
The "Nicole & Omar" Experience: Regularly cited in reviews as the shop's heart, the management team (including Nicole and Omar) is known for radical transparency. They are famous for providing detailed photo documentation of repairs and explaining "the why" behind every recommendation, ensuring customers feel empowered rather than pressured.
The Vibe: "Industrial Sophistication"
The atmosphere at Green’s Garage is a far cry from the stereotypical gritty workshop. It feels more like a community hub—clean, organized, and welcoming. The waiting area is famously cozy, featuring comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and a "living room" vibe that includes plants and high-quality coffee, making it a favorite for remote workers and local "Canes" from the nearby University of Miami.
The Philosophy: "Empathy and Expertise." The team believes that car trouble is stressful enough; the repair process shouldn't be. They prioritize long-term vehicle health over short-term profit, backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty.

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.
