Good little place to get your vehicle worked on. He doesn't have any presses to do universal joints etc. But he does good honest work and won't tell you that need something you really don't need. Prices are fair for quality work.

My car had a squeaking noise in the rear. Pepboy's told me it was the shocks and quoted me 250 dollars. Since I didn't want to pay that price I decided to go elsewhere to test my luck. Darren's found that the problem was just a loose bolt in the rear and I saved 220 dollars and hours of waiting. Darren's just earned themselves a loyal returning customer.

Last week I took my old 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, Police Interceptor to Darren because my check engine light came on. Oh no I thought, Darren hooked up his hand held computer gage to my car and told me my Thermostat was stuck open. I took the car the next day, arranged rides with neighbors, and was VERY GRATEFUL when Darren called that afternoon and said your car is ready. The $ was much more than reasonable, it has been a week and the old Interceptor is back cruising right along. Next, I plan on getting a tune up, and maybe I can get Katie’s gas mileage above the 12 mile per gallon range?!? Thank You, Darren

I was at Darren's today. had a drain on my battery. Has been bugging me for a while. He found the problem really quick, & refused to take payment. Guess where I will be taking my car from now on. Good man very honest & willing to work with you. Great job Darren!!!!

This place is great and I would give more than 5 stars if I could!! I just moved here 2 months ago and I drove to pick up my granddaughter at daycare and my car just died. He helped me get a tow truck and fixed my car the next day even though he doesn’t know me and I have PA plates. I feel like he only fixed what was needed and did not overcharge me. He totally helped me out of a very stressful situation! I will be taking my vehicle here for all future car needs and repairs. Thanks for your kindness.

If your looking for honesty out of a mechanic you can find it here. I don't know the first thing about cars. My brakes felt like they were going out, something was wrong. I took my car to Darren and told him I need new brakes or pads or whatever he suggested, and left my car in his care. He could have easily replaced something and I wouldn't have known any better and been happy with the bill. Instead it was a minor cleaning and for barely nothing, I was on my way. Brakes are fine now. I'll be back to Darren for anything and everything in the future!

The best mechanic I ever met. He explained everything to me. He's very honest and doesn't try to trick you and overcharge you. He gave me the best price out of ten different garages I went to. He even stayed open late on a Saturday to help me so I wouldn't have to rent a car on Monday. Best price, reliable work, honest, knowledgeable, a good person, very rare.

Absolute pleasure to have done business with Darren. Friendly and transparent. He took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with my vehicle and even showed me the parts he replaced, which were in rough shape.

You get honest reliable service at Darren's. He gets gets you back on the road in a reasonable amount of time and if he doesn't provide a service he'll let you know. No misleading you to do unnecessary work! I've taken our cars to him for the past 10 years at least. Great mechanic!

Nice to have someone trustful and reliable. Fixed my truck problem in half a day. Replaced only what it needed....plus a few other things I asked him to check. Awesome choice.
