01
Nearby still deserves a confirmed plan.
If the car is making a new noise or the next service is due, call Tito before heading out from South Daytona. A quick conversation can establish what you drive, what you noticed and whether the shop can arrange the visit you need.
Use the full address: 433 Walker St, Suite 5A, Daytona Beach, FL 32117. This is the shop destination for the work described here; the page does not represent another branch.
02
Make the description specific.
“It squeaks” leaves several possibilities. “It squeals during the first few stops, then changes after driving” provides more context. For a vibration, explain whether you feel it while braking, while accelerating or at a steady speed.
Do not repeatedly test a car with a sudden brake-pedal change or steering problem. The brake guide explains the observations that matter and when the safer next step is assistance instead of a drive.
03
Separate routine service from a fault.
An oil reminder, a check engine light and an oil-pressure warning do not mean the same thing. Bring the message or a parked photo along with the mileage. A maintenance request should include the last known service record if available.
Tito can discuss maintenance, diagnostics and the other repair categories listed below. Give him the vehicle details so the conversation matches the actual car or truck.
04
Know what happens after drop-off.
Ask about the initial inspection or diagnostic time, how you will be contacted with findings and what requires your approval. Set up a way home if the vehicle may need to stay. A nearby address does not mean every job can be completed while you wait.
Use the form on this page to send a request, then wait for confirmation. If the car is unsafe to move, discuss transport before arranging to bring it to the shop.
Planning the visit.
Where is the shop for South Daytona customers?
Martinez Auto Care is at 433 Walker St, Suite 5A in Daytona Beach. Call (386) 631-0018 before travelling.
Can I describe the problem without naming a part?
Yes. What changed, when it happens and how the vehicle behaves are useful starting details.
Should I drive with a new brake or steering problem?
If the change affects stopping or control, stop safely and arrange qualified assistance rather than testing it on the trip.
