Don is one of the best mechanics I have ever had the pleasure of working with, honest, fair and thorough. I too know more than a dozen people who Don is their mechanic. Truly a gem.

I went to Donald for an oil change and to take a look at my suspension, on a recommendation from Reddit. He is clearly about doing things right and goes the extra mile to explain/show you what that is, and his prices were reasonable. I was able to drop my car off with him, walk up to Magazine for a late lunch and a little window shopping, and walk back. Though the oil change was finished when I arrived (I think he had forgotten to call me when it was, as we had briefly discussed), he still had my car up on the lift, and showed me specifically what he noticed. We discussed how to remedy it, before I paid and departed. I fully intend to come back to have my new struts installed, front end alignment done, and new tires mounted and balanced. (Update: I dropped off the car on a Monday evening and was able to pick it up first thing on Wednesday. I actually enjoy driving my car now, for the first time since I bought it.) I saw a few reviewers say he's rude; I don't think that's really the case. I will say he does sound a bit impatient on the phone, but I understand since he's flying solo and keeps quite busy. In person, he was friendly and very easy to work with. The first time I went to him, he wasn't able to do my oil change that day (late Thursday afternoon), but he suggested a few windows for me to drop by and get it done in about 90 minutes. It's my impression that if you're polite and reasonable, he'll take care of you, especially if you can effectively communicate what times work for both of you.

Replaced all four of my tires, with balance and alignment. The owner is passionate about finding the problem and takes a lot of pride in his work. That type of personality is always going to give you their best effort. This is now my go-to auto repair shop in NOLA.

I loveee Mr. Donald! I’ve been using his services for years now and I’ll ONLY go somewhere else if it’s something he can’t do. I used to live up the street from his shop, but now I’m traveling from near metarie for his services. I’ve been seeing people say he’s rude, but he’s just busy and has a lot to do lol. Very sweet guy. He’s looked out for me so many times. Whenever he sees me he says “hey my girl whatcha need”. I recommend him to everyone, he’s fair with his prices and just an overall good guy. He might now know my name, but he for sure knows my car!

I’ve had a wide variety of services performed here, and they’ve always been completed very well, quickly, and for a very fair price.

I showed up to park place at 6:10 to hopefully get some air in my tires and get one checked. Google said they closed at 7pm so i didn't see an issue. I asked the employee on duty to add some air and check 1 tire, he said come back in 2 weeks im only one man working. I said well it says you close at 7 and you only have one car your putting air in. Can you just add some air? He refused and told me to come back in 2 weeks. Poor and lazy service. Be better or change your times online.

This place is the absolute best. Donald is a real standup guy, with great advice and the friendliest demeanor. Very reasonable prices too. I needed a check engine light looked at, my brakes cleaned/adjusted, and an oil change. He was able to diagnose all my issues within 15 mins, and have my car back to me the same day. I recommend calling the day before you plan to come in so that they’re expecting you, and you know what time to show up. Cannot recommend a spot more.

Quick, trustworthy, and honest service. I brought my car in twice to get the AC checked, got an accurate diagnosis, and was not charged as it was a problem that was covered under my warranty. Will definitely be back for any car issues.

Donald is the kindest and most honest mechanic I have ever met. I am always concerned about being swindled or treated badly in this aspect of life maintenance stuff because i’m a single woman with a beat up car. He is kind of short on the phone but it’s because he values his time and is a very busy guy and that is because he’s usually booked and has a lot of customers. I really appreciate his services and recommend him to anyone.

Donald is the most polite, kindest and considerate person. He does the job well and promptly. I have been dealing with Donald and Park Place for many years and have always been completely satisfied with the quality of work and the time it takes to complete the job. Donald makes every effort to fit you in no matter how busy he is.

Donald is the kindest mechanic I have ever met. There has been more than one instance where he fixes minor issues with my car free of charge. He is always great at explaining what is wrong and what needs to happen. Donald is brilliant at what he does and I never dread having to take my car in because I know I have nothing to worry about as long as he's working on it! Can't reccomend enough.

Great service. Got a new tire in 30 minutes as promised at a fair price. Friendly, experienced and professional mechanic. I usually have my husband take my vehicle in for any necessary up keep. But now I don't have to wait on him. This place is professional and I don't feel like I'm being taken advantage of; or feel timid.

Got a flat and drove to Don since he was close. He ordered me a new tire and put it on the next day. All for a fair price! He even noticed my spare needed some extra air and topped it off for me. Would definitely go to him again for any tire issues.

Outstanding service from a really wonderful mechanic. Don did the job right, with open communication and honest pricing. As a woman who often feels taken advantage of with maintenance pricing, I very much appreciated Don’s honesty and passion for doing great work.

Donald was as good as the other reviews say. I called ahead thinking I'd need to schedule an appointment to get my flat checked out and he told me he'd be ready for me in 20 minutes. I rock up and he fixed my tire and I was out in less than 10 minutes! Also he seemed pretty friendly.

I've come to Park Place twice and always received great service! I have only seen one person working there but he has always been able to get me in same-day or next-day. I appreciate the timeliness of his work, the friendliness I have gotten in person and over the phone, and the affordable prices. I will continue to come here for all my tire needs.
