Sent all my cars here for the last 5 years up till a year ago, Ended business dealings after sending a car there for a timing belt and headgasket job. Took him 3 months to finish the job that a dealership quoted me 12 hours to do. Got the car back, car was throwing timing codes and was running bad so I sent it back to D&A, Darrin stated the cat was stopped up despite claims of having knowledge of timing codes and performing proper diagnostics so I hollowed the cat out and same problem persisted.I made darrin aware of the issue and he made claims I was looking for power gains that wasn t plausible ,that I was tryin to pull one over on him an that there was nothing wrong with the car. The vehicle jumped time 48miles after repairs due to Darrin not tightening a cam gear in which he admitted he never tightened or touch the cam gear even after bein paid to install the cam gear. His rebuttal was for me to buy the parts he damaged and let him try to blow another motor up. So needless to say, I purchased valves and all the timing components and sent it to another shop where the car now runs with no issues not surprisingly. 3,200 in new parts and labor later repairing this hack job rabbit hole I wondered down here at D&A automotive a year ago.All and all cannot believe this place still stands in business. I tell LITERALLY everybody that this so called 1000hp V8 engine mechanic couldn t even handle assembling a 4cylinder from 1997.Much less be able to handle a 2013 focus transmission that was again sent to another shop after he worked on it for a few thousand dollars just for it to not run,is now running with no issues after 30kmiles of driving it.

Half the suspension work that comes into D&A automotive is souly created by the crater sized potholes in his parking lot. From the looks of how he seals oil leaks, I wouldn t be surprised to see these pond sized pot holes filled with RV gasket maker.

High quality work at a reasonable price. They Don t make you feel pressured to fix anything that isn t necessary at the moment. He is very Honest with his work, an gets you in and out on a reasonable time. There is a difference in clean mechanic work and dirty mechanic work. He does top notch work at a affordable price. I recommend anybody that is lookin for mechanic work to check out this shop.

Car broke down outside Logan Alluminum and had it towed to this place as it was the closest place. Was told they wouldn't have time to look at it that day so I asked if anyone could run me home then and before i could offer fuel in their tank i was told no and then one guy went so far as to crack a joke about another man literally sitting there doing nothing. I was absolutely bewildered a business would treat a customer in this manner. Then I pulled out my debit card and got a chewing on how in 2020 he doesn't accept plastic because it takes to long to get paid. Like wow, I really felt like I had fallen into deliverance and asked the tow trucker to take me to Boatwrights Garage where I knew I'd be taken care of. He seemed to have an arrangement with the owner but was going to have to take me to the bank as he didn't accept plastic either. The entire experience was nightmare fuel until I made it to Boatwrights Garage and Pametha began creating a ticket and Boatwrights offers shuttle service so she drove me by the market and then home.

I took my car to D & A Automotive to get an oil pressure switch changed on my car, and also to get the rear of the engine cleaned (with cleaner i supplied) do to the oil leak from the sending unit. He up charged me $10 over the quoted price of $25, and failed to clean the engine (but kept my cleaner). He also over tightened the oil filter on the car causing it to leak, left the old oil sending unit under the hood rubbing against the radiator which put gashes in my radiator tank. They also over tightened, and rounded off my oil pan drain bolt. I never once asked them to touch the oil filter, or drain bolt, as i was going to be changing the oil myself. Darren him self was rude, and arrogant toward me.If this is how somebody wants to run there buisness then it should not be open at all, i warn anybody looking to take there vehicle there to find somewhere more credible to do your work as the money you will save will not out weight the money you will spend fixing there errors.This is not the first incident i have had with D & A Auto, i had taken my 2000 blazer to get a pitman arm replaced, and when i checked the oil i noticed they failed to reinstall the air filter tube to the air filter box, leaving my vehicle to inhale dirty unfiltered air.So please be warned that Darren runs a sub par business with bad business practice and tends to have an agressive attitude when you question extra charges over the quoted price!
