DP Auto Service for brakes
Clear ✕All 11 Google reviews tagged “Brakes”
I took my VW Jetta here after getting a hefty repair quote from a different garage and getting multiple recommendations from people that live in the area that DP is the place to go. DP was able to fix everything in a day, they clearly communicated the issues that they had to fix along the way, and the bill came in…
I have been going to DP for nearly 20 years (since when it first opened). Dave is all you would want from an auto mechanic -- thorough, skilled, fair, honest. He figures out exactly what needs repair, does it perfectly, charges a fair price and never, ever upsells. He has a line of repairs every morning because his…
Dave has assumed upkeep on our 2014 Prius ever since the warranty ran out in about 2019. I trust his assessments. He doesn’t tell us the car needs more than it does and he gets it done on time. Best of all, he’s in the neighborhood so I can bring my bike for getting home while the car is in his shop. Thank you Dave.
Very good experience with this local shop. Brought my car in for some needed brakes and suspension work which turned to be pretty substantial. They took a look and provided me with some options, and I never felt really pressured or upsold with unneeded items like I have at many shops. I made an appointment for the…
Completely reliable. No nonsense, no unnecessary charges. Excellent team. EDITED to add that my car is 17 years old with 210k miles and they have kept it going in great, safe shape. Best thing if you need service is to walk up to the office (to the left of the unrelated convenience store, through the 1st bay on…
DP Auto is the best! I've been coming here for years because it's the only place I feel like I'm not being taken advantage of for my lack of car knowledge. David is always generous with his time, advice and explains what exactly my car needs and why, which is really helpful. I've lived across DC and I still go to DP…
I was coming in from out of town when my brakes gave out. I was able to give DP auto and get them replaced the next day in under two hours. The price was unbeatable and the customer service was better than any other repair shop I've been to. 10/10, can't recommend enough.
Great assistance and care! Honest information given. knowledgeable, professional and truly helpful. unsurpassed quality mechanic.
I live in DuPont and I always come here to get my car serviced or repaired. David always takes good care of the car and gives me a fair price. The turn around time is always fast as well. Would highly reccomend.
Been taking car up there for a few years as it is close to its last leg. They know this and have worked to do only what absolutely needs to be done. They are very up front about the issues and trying to work on keeping it running at the lowest cost to us. They have earned our trust and once we do get the new car we…
