J & J Auto Works

J & J Auto Works Welcome to J & J Auto Works, a preventive maintenance and automotive repair center. Also specializing in Auto Body & Collision.

Family owned & operated since 1990 On April 12, 1986 out on Long Island in Smithtown, New York, two brother-in-laws by the names of John Licardi and Joe Krauss decided to start their own automobile repair business. they began J & J Auto Works in an old two bay gas station. John and Joe worked hard repairing vehicles and selling gas. In the winter they plowed heavy snow with their tow truck name "T

owie". After four years of hard work and struggling through harsh winters, they realized that it would benefit the business to be in a warmer location, a place where they could raise their families, enjoy their time off, and ultimately, a place to retire. On December 1, 1990, with Florida as their new destination, and after two trips with their moving vans, John Joe moved their families and all the heavy garage equipment and were ready for business. they served soda hotdogs, and hamburgers at the "Grand Opening", and then settled down to work. After many years of hard work, countless repaired vehicles, and numerous restored classic vehicles, word spread of the two brother-in-laws honest approach to car repair, and the business prospered. Carol showed their appreciation to all their clientele every year by hand written a personal message of Christmas and Season Greetings to each and every customer. They also got a reputation for being the local experts on classic Mustang restoration. John and Joe had restored several Mustangs and each owned a couple. Even their business shirts have a Mustang on them. After nine years of hard work and a steadily growing business, John, Joe, and Carol decided that they needed more room and were ready to expand. In 2000, they built a brand new shop, four times bigger than the old one, and equipped it with and additional lift, a new spray booth, frame machine, and new state of the art diagnosis equipment. Today you will find John and his assistant doing mechanical work in the south half of the shop, and Joe and his assistant doing auto body repair in the north half. And on the phone and in the office you will be greeted by Carol in the center of the building. From the beginning and continuing today, dedication and honesty is what they offer their customers.
