Welcome to Rockstar Automotive - Your Go-To Auto Repair Shop in Melbourne, FL

Hey there, I'm Thomas Gerding, the owner of Rockstar Automotive here in Melbourne, FL. I started this shop back in 2017 because I knew there was a need for an honest, reliable auto repair service that actually cared about its customers. After working as a mechanic for over 25 years, I saw way too many people getting ripped off by shady shops that were more interested in padding their bottom line than doing what's right for the customer.

That's why I made it my mission to create a different kind of auto repair experience - one where you, the customer, always come first. At Rockstar Automotive, we treat every single person who walks through our doors like family. We take the time to really understand your vehicle's issues and work with you to find the most affordable, effective solution. No upselling things you don't need, no hidden fees, just good old-fashioned customer service the way it should be.

Our shop is located right on Aurora Road in the heart of Melbourne, conveniently serving drivers from all across Brevard County. Whether you live in Downtown Melbourne, Palm Bay, or Viera, we're just a short drive away and ready to get your car back on the road in no time.

What Makes Rockstar Automotive Different?

So what exactly sets us apart from all the other auto repair shops in the area? It really comes down to three key things: honesty, expertise, and a genuine passion for what we do.

First and foremost, we are 100% committed to being upfront and transparent in everything we do. No smoke and mirrors, no hidden agendas - just straight talk about what's wrong with your vehicle and what it's going to take to fix it. We'll never try to upsell you on services you don't need, and we'll always give you a detailed breakdown of the parts and labor costs so you know exactly what you're paying for. You approve everything first hand!

Secondly, our team of ASE-certified technicians has the know-how and experience to handle any repair or maintenance job, big or small. Between us, we've got over 50 years of collective experience working on all makes and models. Whether you drive a brand new Ford, a classic Chevy, or a foreign luxury vehicle, we've got the skills and the specialized tools to get the job done right the first time.

And lastly, we genuinely love what we do and it shows in the quality of our work. This isn't just a job for us - it's a passion. We take pride in being able to restore a customer's vehicle to peak performance and give them back the peace of mind of knowing their car is safe and reliable. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing the smile on a customer's face when we hand them back the keys to their perfectly-running car.
