J & J Auto Works was founded in 1986 by two brothers-in-law — John Licardi and Joe Krauss — who believed that auto repair should be honest, personal, and done right the first time.
After years on Long Island, they packed up their families and brought J & J to Vero Beach, FL in 1990. What started as a two-bay shop has grown into a full-service collision and mechanical facility — but the family spirit has never changed.
Today we serve thousands of Vero Beach families every year, from routine maintenance to complex collision repairs — and now, hybrid battery replacement.
J & J Auto Works has been recognized for decades of community service — from helping struggling families repair cars through the Salvation Army, to donating Humvee restoration work to the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. We're proud to serve the people who serve us.
