My family had traveled to Destin for a vacation. Our vehicle started acting up but I was able to get it to our vacation home that Saturday night. I called Danny s Sunday morning as he was the only shop open. I limped my vehicle to his shop and he explained what was wrong within minutes of opening the hood. I left my vehicle with him and hoped it would be fixed by the day we were leaving. The part arrived on Monday and he called Tuesday morning to say it was fixed. I was amazed and impressed. I can t even get my vehicles in that quick with my mechanic back home. If I ever need anything vehicle related when I visit again, Danny s will be my first choice.

Our check engine light came on and 2 different places told us we needed a new computer. Danny told us we needed a tune up. The spark plug was arching and making the knock sensor think it was the computer. Got us in and out in 2 days. The dealership couldn't even look at it for 6 weeks. He showed us a video of what was happening and explained exactly what he was going to do. Nicest guy ever. Would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely best mechanic I've ever encountered! The service and knowledge and persistence to get the work done correctly, is second to none! 35 years of driving, and I can guarantee you will not find a better shop, anywhere! Prices are way more than fair, quality impeccable and even more important than any mechanical work...these guys are just great, hardworking and honest people!! Thank you all again, and I believe Danny may be my miracle angel sent tome by God himself!! I can't thank you enough!!

Danny is an amazing person and mechanic. I brought my car in and he knew I had a fixed budget so we talked about what I knew needed to be fixed and he gave me a price and while fixing that he noticed what was really wrong with it and fixed that problem as well all while staying at the price he originally gave me. He went above and beyond and my car is running amazing now. Thank you Danny, you are awesome.

Absolutely satisfied with the honest, fast service! Danny got me in the same day! The dealership had a three week waiting list. My air conditioning system went out so I needed the service ASAP. Danny diagnosed my car within an hour and gave me a list of the needed repairs while I waited! That s never happened before. He was very conscientious, professional and helpful. He gave the best service I ve ever experienced with a mechanic. Danny was honest, friendly and all with a charming smile.

My family and I was traveling to Destin for vacation for a week. We got about 30 minutes from our destination and our car started to have a misfire. Started looking up local shops in Destin hoping for a fast simple repair knowing that couldn t be possible. Seen the name Danny s Garage and it sounded like a home shop to us, pulled up to the place and walked in to the garage and found Danny. Started talking to him told him our issues and he noticed I had my family with me, he dropped everything he was doing and told me to pull my car up to the garage and he told me he would take care of me and my family. He started to perform his work as he was doing that his parts guy was running to get parts, as he got back with parts Danny put all the new parts, plugs, cool packs ect. I watched as he done everything I m mechanically inclined everything he did was very professional. Danny put passion into his work and the job was successfully done. After work was preformed car was started and tested everything was fixed. We walked inside garage Danny showed me all the receipts for parts cost and charged me from there. I m very thankful for the out come. We drove 12 hours home with no issues car ran great. We was treated with respect better than what we would have got from our home. I would HIGHLY recommend Danny s. We greatly appreciate his time and effort. He definitely treated us right with us from being out of townersServices: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Auto maintenance

This shop is the best around Destin. Our girls trip turned upside down when our car was running hot. Since we were on vacation, we did not know where to go. We googled local mechanics, found Danny's Garage. We drove there since was just a couple miles away. The mechanic got our car pulled up in shop immediately to check it out. He said the fan was not working . Danny got on the phone, found the part , went to get it and put it on. Stopped what they were doing to get us up and running. Got us ready within an hour and half . Reasonable price and great people. Thank you Danny !!

My mother and her sisters on the way to the beach had a break down hundreds of miles from home but only a few miles from Danny s Garage. This crew shot straight and did not try to take advantage of people so far from home. Got them back on the road with a proper repair with a better than fair price!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Just talked with him on the phone but seemed pretty knowledgeable and gave me some good advice to get somethings done since he was backed up at the moment

We were on vacation and went to lunch. My husband went to put the car in park but the gearshift basically just dangled. After calling a couple of businesses someone recommended Danny and my husband contacted him he told us to eat our lunch and give him a call. He came to the restaurant, put the vehicle and drive so we could follow him to his shop. He could ve easily brought his tow truck and charged us $150 but he didn t. We got to his shop and he recommended some places for us to go shop while he worked on our vehicle. We came back in a couple hours and we re ready to go. He could have easily taken advantage of the fact that we were on vacation and needed our vehicle but instead he charged us a reasonable price and we are forever grateful. I highly recommend Danny and his staff! Thank you for helping us!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Danny is the last of a dying breed of a complete mechanic. He has forgotten more than most mechanics in the area will ever know. It s taking me over 20 years to find the perfect mechanic and this is the man.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnosticServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Danny is the most meticulous and thorough mechanic I've ever seen. The man does great work, and he is kind at the same time. I came here while visiting from AZ, and he made sure I was safe and ready to drive home. Thanks Danny!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Danny is a godsend. I went to his shop because my steering wheel was shaking, turned out to be a bad tire. He also checked my oil and it was low. He gave me a quart of oil and sent me on my way free of charge. The most kind man I have ever met.

On Sunday January 9, 2022 when my van started missing Danny's garage was recommended to me by a local parts store. I drove by his shop and was surprised to see the door open. I went in and told Danny my problem and he immediately asked me to bring my van in. He had it diagnosed in minutes and set up an appointment to have the repair completed. He went right at the work on Tuesday and the job was completed on Wednesday just as promised. The price was just what he had quoted. My van is now running like new and I am completely confident in the work done by Danny's Garage. I'm sure my wife and I will get back to Michigan without a problem. I am thankful to have found Danny's Garage and would highly recommend this shop to anyone who is having car problems.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Danny is a great mechanic!!! He definitely will break his back for you to be satisfied. We appreciate him. He's probably the only mechanic you'll find on a Sunday open to work. He's also smart, thinks ahead of time in case the situation happens on a Sat, there's a part you need. He'll get it before you know it. Thank you so much Danny. We made it back home to Georgia.

Danny was a true life saver! We were down for vacation when our car started messing up, it was Saturday at 3pm and I called him. He told me i could bring my car over right then. I wasn t sure what was wrong with my car and honestly worried about being scammed because it s a tourist spot. Danny did everything he could to get us fixed up to make it back home and even sent up with a list of things we needed to fix. He wasn t worried about over charging us and he genuinely cared that we made it back home safe. Theirs not a lot of people in the world like that anymore and we re so thankful we ran into Danny. He was super fast, figured out the issues and fixed it within the hour. No one expects to have car troubles while you re on vacation but danny made things a lot easier.

God directed me to Danny and what a God send it was and blessing to my life. God works it all out for good. The driver's side wiper blade wasn't making contact with the windshield. A very scary situation as we hit a downpour on the way to Destin. The part wouldn't come in to fix before we return home. Danny told me to come by again as " mamma let's see what I can do". When he got to the part he told God he didn't know what to do,but then had an idea.It worked and now I can drive home safely. I feel extremely blessed that I got to spend a few hours with Danny and watch him work. Servants of the Lord work quietly in a garage blessing people nobody else would have given the time. Thank you for your example. My time with you was the highlight of my vacationService: General repairs & maintenance

We travelled from out of state and needed an alternator changed the same day. Danny took care of it promptly and charged us significantly less than he quoted. We couldn't be happier. Thanks, Danny!

I have had electrical as well as brake issues on my truck in the last several months. Danny has fixed all of these issues with great success. He charged me a fair price and had my truck fixed in no time since this is my daily driver. He has also fixed my wife's Honda Accord and it runs great. Thanks Danny for all your hard work. Don D

I've had the pleasure of working along side Danny and his talents surpass any mechanic I've seen. From carubureted to fuel injection he can do it all. Danny Gance is a very kind man, he puts his job and the safety of his customers and their happiness first and foremost. Never have I been so lucky as to have a boss and friend like Danny. He cares and is honest.

Danny is the man. I have a 1971 jaguar XKE that took 8 years to be restored by a Jaguar specialty shop hundreds of miles away. When I finally got the car back it had not been completely sorted as it was backfiring and running rich. Danny has helped me before with a couple of other vintage cars so I asked him if he thought he could help figure it out. Long story short, after two weeks I now have my car back running like a well oiled machine. No more backfiring or fouled plugs. Danny you are my hero!!!
