Joe, Rick and crew really took car of me. I had some deferred maintenance and now my car is running great. The cost is reasonable, and worked with my schedule.

Excellent service, kept us well informed as to service being done. During regular inspection as part of their service found an existing problem which saved us undo wear on front tires. We have been a long time customer and would recommend Dorso’s to any one needing car servicing. Highly professional and above all honest

They were experienced mechanics and professional. Price wise they were a bit less than the dealer. I personally value their experience and knowledge so I don't mind paying a little extra; much better than going to a real cheap mechanic who will introduce new problems or misdiagnose problems.

They came recommended from a friend. Local small businesses with attentive customer service. Honest and upfront with Servicces. Not the cheapest mechanic around, but worth the price of knowing your auto is in good hands and service is top notch. Services are worth recommending. Satisfied with the work they did on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler.
