J.R. SAAB LLC
PEMBROKE PINES, FLORIDA

At J.R.'s Import Cars we provide auto repair and computer diagnostics, plus collision paint services under one roof. We are state licensed, factory trained and have 27 years experience, so you can feel comfortable and confident in our workmanship. I started as a P.D.I. helper in new car preparation. I was trained by the best of Europe's old world technicians such as Frank Carboni, shop foreman at that time, who I am eternally grateful for all his support and experience he has passed on to me. I worked my way up every facet of repairs, finishing as the shop foreman and team leader later on. One of the owners, John Mender Sr., was always known for his committment to quality and his company, along with his partner Wefner Maeder were like fathers to me and gave me every opportunity they would give to their own sons. To really enhance my lifes experience, there was a parts manager named Alan Nagle who was like a brother to me, but I still can't believe how many part numbers a person can memorize. I have been very fortunate to have had many good teachers along the way at SAAB, Zumbach and all the good techs I have worked with along the way. I moved on after 11 1/2 years at Zumbach to work for 10 months out of my garage doing side jobs on cars, mostly SAABS. I saved my money and found a garage for rent and opened my first business January of 1991 in Bergenfield, NJ. I worked it for four years building my business up and learning all facets of business in the process. Seeing the area was too crowded with unlicensed repair and autobody businesses, which I saw as a negative for my shop location, I moved to a more central location in Edgewater, NJ on the river between the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln Tunnel. We are very sorry to inform you that "JR's Import Cars" has offically closed it's doors. We would like to thank all of our loyal customers who supported us over many years.
