I started going here because it was right around the corner. I’ve moved farther away and keep going here because it’s great place. No bs upselling of stuff I don’t need.

The fairest, most honest and professional mechanics in town. I trust all of my vehicles to Danny and Ronny and have for years now! Don't hesitate to bring your vehicles to these guys, they will take great care of you!

What a great shop and incredible staff. My Infiniti dealer wanted to charge me $3,200 for an alternator replacement and. Drive belt hose and tensioner. These guys at D & R were less than half. 3 hours of labor not 6. Got $600 less on the alternator. Hoses were equal. Thanks for being honest and treating me great and doing excellent work!! PS they shared greater news, my drive belt and tensioner were perfect. $1,100 with them. $3,290 Infiniti

My brother was at D & R a couple of days ago. He raved about the service. I'm sure to bring my car there for its next tune-up. Kudos to my neighbor for recommending this auto repair shop.

Exceptional service! I had a check engine light come on my van and needed same day help before traveling back home. They were able to help me immediately and run a scan to check the issue. After running the scan, they consulted me on the situation and recommended I wait to do anything until I got home. I was in and out in 15 minutes and wasn’t charged for the service. I made it back home safely and am very appreciative of their help.

I tried three different car mechanic shops; including The Dealership...whose repair price estimate which was so High priced I could not use them.My Problem Was ..I could not put my window up and down smoothly. The motor wore out. It was repaired by a car repair person. A year later the little motor needed replaced again because it was working too hard. D&R took it apart and discovered the glue had allowed slippage of the whole mechanism. DNR repaired it. It has been several years. Other car repair people tried to fix the symptoms. D & R fixed the Source of the problem.

EXCELLENT customer service, Excellent Mechanics.. My husband dropped off his vehicle, they diagnosed it IMMEDIATELY and called to tell him what it was and the cost..They had it fixed and ready to go soo fast.. EXTREMELY reasonable pricing as well- Will most definitely go back there when needed..

My Mini Cooper’s brake light came on, and being newish to the area, I didn’t know a good mechanic to go to. I was lucky to find D&R Automotive. They squeezed my car in, even though their lot was full of cars they were working on. They resolved my brake problem, and I was in and out quickly. Very honest and professional, knowledgeable mechanics. Not only have I found my go-to mechanic, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend D&R to my friends, as well!

Excellent! Great customer service, pricing on point and fast turn around! It is so challenging to find an automotive business that you can trust. D&R Automotive came recommended and I am very thankful that I took my car to them. Will definitely be back for any/all automotive repairs and want to thank them for taking suck good care of my car!

Hands down the best shop in town. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks for keeping me running guys!


Feb 07, 2024

I contacted D&R because I thought I had a blown fuse in my dashboard. The gentleman adjusted some settings and resolved the issue. The dealer was telling me it was an electrical problem with a minimum of $1,500 cost. D&R are honest, knowledgeable and customer friendly! Highly recommend.

Just took my old 1998 Pontiac Montana transport into D & R automotive. Unfortunately as hard as they workef and as many hours and parts that they wasted on my vehicle, they did not charge me. It was one of those losses that they take from time to time. I do appreciate their honesty and integrity. And not charging me for parts and labor that did not actually fix my problem. So although they weren't able to address my problem, they won a customer for life.


Feb 07, 2024

Ron took the time to look at my truck and that is great customer service. Their prices are reasonable and I highly recommend them to anyone.


Feb 07, 2024

They are VERY helpful. Would highly recommend

Very good service. Will definitely use again.
