Grapeland Heights is the neighborhood wrapped around Miami International Airport, so it is full of hotels, long stay parking and rental cars. The mobile mechanic Miami FL visitors and residents here call comes to the hotel lot or the driveway, which beats finding a shop with a flight to catch. Call 786-504-7447 with the vehicle and the fault.
We work the streets and hotel lots between NW 14th Street and NW 36th Street, either side of NW 37th Avenue. If a car has stopped at an airport hotel or a long stay lot, we come to it there.
NW 37th Avenue and NW 42nd Avenue, LeJeune Road, are the two north to south routes, and LeJeune Road at NW 14th Street is the junction every airport driver ends up at. SR-836, the Dolphin Expressway, runs along the northern edge with the ramps that feed the terminals.
NW 25th Street leads to the Rental Car Center, Perimeter Road circles the airfield, and NW 36th Street is the old airport road along the top. SR-112, the Airport Expressway, is the fast link to I-95 and the beaches. It is a lot of signage, a lot of lane changes and a lot of unfamiliar drivers in a hurry.
This is one of the areas we cover across the city, listed with the rest on our Mobile Mechanic Locations Miami FL page.
Miami International Airport is obviously the anchor, with the MIA Mover running to the Miami Intermodal Center and the Rental Car Center on NW 25th Street. Grapeland Water Park on NW 37th Avenue is the local family landmark, with the pirate ship slides.
Melreese Country Club is the golf course along the Dolphin Expressway, and the Curtiss Parkway corridor runs up into Miami Springs. For visitors the practical advice is to allow far more time than the map suggests, and to check a rental over before leaving the lot: tires, wipers, lights and the air conditioning, in that order.
Visitors meet Miami weather here first, and it surprises them. From mid May to October an afternoon thunderstorm can drop an inch of rain in under an hour, flooding the low spots along NW 14th Street and the expressway ramps while the sun is still out a mile away. Hurricane season officially runs from the start of June to the end of November.
Heat is the other half. Cars parked for a week in an uncovered long stay lot sit in full sun at over ninety degrees with high humidity, and they come back with a battery that will not crank, a stuck brake caliper or an air conditioning system that has given up. If you are coming back to a car that has been standing in the heat for days, expect the battery to be the thing that has gone.
The faults that come up most often on vehicles in Grapeland Heights, each one handled where the car is parked.
The most common airport call. Battery load tested and replaced at the lot.
Tires, wipers, lights and air conditioning checked before you set off, not after.
A caliper sticking after days unused in heat and humidity. Freed or replaced on site.
Yes, that is one of our most common calls. We come to the lot, load test the battery and charging, and fit a replacement there if that is the fault.
We can inspect it and tell you what is wrong, but repairs to a rental have to go through the rental company. An inspection before a long drive is still worth having.
We work right across the city. If you are closer to the next neighborhood over, our Mobile Mechanic near Brickell Miami FL page covers the roads, the landmarks and what we see on vehicles there.
