Fast - repaired my rear light and oil changed within 5 hours. Quoted a cost upfront without me asking. Great shuttle service to and from work. Clear communication via text and online portal for approving quotes and paying. First time getting VW vehicle serviced in DM. Happy to recommend.

My son has an old BMW he swears he’s keeping “forever.” Beckley keeps it alive, for a fair price, without ever pretending to like us. Don’t expect a warm hello on the phone. Don’t expect a hello at all, really — more of a grunt that means “yes, we are open, state your business.” Walk in and you may briefly wonder…

I recently purchased a used Audi and brought my vehicle in for inspection and a check engine light. They did a thorough inspection and charged me a fair price. They were able to point out some needed repairs and their prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly and kept me informed the entire time.
