Dean's has steadily improved under their realitively new ownership, and we have come to trust them completely with every aspect of repair, as we did with the former owner, Warren McCord. It is a small shop, and thus may have problems scheduling the work, but they are honest and competent, which is the main thing fo any repair place. .

Very pleasant repair shop environment. As a female, I feel very comfortable bringing our cars here by myself. Love the Saturday appointments. Based on experience, recommend calling ahead to confirm appointment and details.
