Consumer Comments for DP Auto Service

Consumer from WASHINGTON, DC
Dec 05, 2024

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe DP. They are professional and courteous, scrupulously honest, generous with their time and willing to explain in lay person’s terms what’s wrong with the car and how they propose to fix it. And fix it, they do. They just brought my 23 year old Civic back from the dead, evaluating at my request the adequacy of a repair done by another shop, then fixing the faulty repair and its collateral damage. After this experience I wouldn’t think of taking a car to another repair shop.

David and Otto run a great, affordable repair shop. Very honest. They don’t recommend unneeded repairs. If you like a pristine garage, this is not the place for you.

Consumer from TAKOMA PARK, MD

The place is messy and chaotic, but they do good work and the prices are reasonable.
