I recently took my car to Don's Auto Repair for a vehicle inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The service was thorough and efficient, and the team made sure I understood every step of the process. The price was great, and I felt like I got excellent value for my money.

Love this place! They are always quick and helpful. Once they had a long wait and weren’t sure if they could fix my issue and referred me to another place close by that helped right away. Excellent customer service!

Updated December 2022: Just would add on to my three year old review below that Don's Auto is still the best. My 17 year old subaru forester has to be brought in every now and then for big fixes (braking system, AC, headlight assembly replacement, etc) and Don and his crew do a great job every time and are very…

I love Don’s - it’s the only place I’ve tried in Philly that doesn’t talk down to me for not knowing absolutely everything about my car. They don’t try to take advantage of/overcharge you and make you feel like a child, call you sweetie etc, unlike other places I’ve been in the city. They’re so quick and do the job right for a great price.

Super friendly and super quick. Went in for an oil change and a good once over before going on a long drive down to NC. Don patched a leak from a small nail in my rear right tire, installed a new battery, and changed the oil in under an hour.

I've been taking my Mazda3 to Don's for over a decade. Don, his wife, and their staff have never let me down. They do what needs to be done and NEVER try to sell me repairs that aren't necessary. (I know this is true because I'm an engineer who does a lot of my repairs myself.) The work is always done correctly,…

I almost don't want to review this place because they're such a hidden gem. The prices are fair, the people are wonderful and the work is always done in a timely manner. This should be your go-to place if you're in the neighborhood!
