Dana and crew are some of the most honest and best mechanics around. I needed brakes sooner than later and they were able to accommodate me despite being booked out for weeks. Never felt like I was getting the runaround or sold things I didn t need. Highly recommended!

Went there for a car inspection!! These guys are Amazing!! Great customer service. We just moved in the area and finding a good auto repair shop can be stressful. So happy we found this place. Definitely will be going there from now on.

I found this place online and the reviews were spectacular! I drove in to do a simple state inspection, after having just gotten my out-of-state car registered today. Dana kindly came out to greet me and said that he would like to try to fit me in today, (within an hour or two), as they are booked for 2 weeks out! I left my car there and they called me within the hour, that my car was ready to go! $50 bucks later, passing inspection and I was legal! Thank you for the incredible customer service and friendly, expedient business practice that I experienced today! I highly recommend these guys and will continue to give my patronage to them!

Cannot say enough good things about Dana and his team and the quality of service we've received at Garrison City Auto. As someone who isn't very mechanically inclined, you can only hope you won't be hosed when taking a car in for servicing. Dana has always charged a very fair price and has kept our car running exceptionally well. He is so helpful, honest, upfront, and commits to the timelines he provides. We've since moved out of Dover, but will continue to return to this business given the trust we have in them!

Dana is amazing!! He is very knowledgeable and reasonable. I took my Prius for new brakes, headlight and state inspection. I had a wait a few days but he did a great job and fair price. I would recommend him 100%

Dana is hands down the best mechanic I know. Been using him for years and he never disappoints. No up selling and amazing diagnostic. Got a wheel bearing replaced on my Camry with great service, a quick turn around, and no one could touch the price. Exactly what you want out of your go to mechanic! Can t recommend him enough.Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

Loved the service and loved the cost! Finding a new garage can be challenging; some can overcharge, put in parts you don't need without permission, or just cause a headache, you get the drill. These guys were super honest up front about what can be done. They did exactly what I asked for and the bill was even less than what they originally quoted me. Very impressed!Service: Brakes

We moved here from Boston and I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful this place was. I heard a rattle when I started my car, called them and they saw me right away (fixed the issue in less than 10 minutes).I tried to pay them but they refused my money because it was such a simple fix. Honestly stand up crew over there - and I ll only be taking my vehicle their in the future!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Dana is amazing. I am a broke college student with an old Kia Soul that gives me my freedom. When I heard a grinding noise coming from the ol girl, I knew I was doomed. That is, until I called Dana. He is friendly, and personable, and he sympathized with the fact that I was desperately trying to get my car fixed at a reasonable price. He replaced my rear brakes in no time for less than half the price one of his competitors quoted me. And he did a top notch job, I mean seriously. The man is amazing and he knows what he s doing. GO DANA!!! Service: General repairs & maintenance

I can't underscore enough how awesome the Garrison City Automotive team is. Dana (the owner) and Rodney (my mechanic) are the nicest, most reasonable guys I have ever met. When I moved to Dover a year ago, I was apprehensive about finding a new, trustworthy auto repair shop. Rodney and Dana have made the whole experience so enjoyable that I look forward to bringing my car in now. They are honest, straightforward, trustworthy, and incredibly fair. Plus, they somehow seem to remember their clients and establish personal relationships despite running a busy business. I have brought my car in a few times now for different things and each time it's been a fantastic experience. I always feel like I am in good hands with their team and now can't imagine bringing my car anywhere else.Services: Auto body & trim repair, General repairs & maintenance, Vehicle Inspection, Oil change

I trust Dana at GCA fully. I've owned two relatively rare cars and when he can't fix something, he'll tell you to take your car to another business but he KNOWS the businesses nearby who can be relied on. He's fair on price, extremely nice, and I have never found him to make promises he can't keep. He also has an assistant who is as good a man as Dana is. I fully recommend.Services: Auto battery replacement, Steering & suspension replacement, Vehicle Inspection, Brakes, Vehicle safety inspection, Battery

Love this place. Honest people, fair price, do their best to work with you. Also I appreciate the lack of judgement for my automotive ineptitudes.

I feel that the owners are very honest and understanding of life situations. The car, which was previously taken to a different shop was not worked on properly. Garrison City Automotive came thru with flying colors. Fair prices and reliable service. They are now the go to mechanics for this vehicle.

This is a top quality shop. The service is excellent. They diagnosed and corrected a problem on my Nissan that two other shops and the dealer could not fix. Dana wants to make sure that you are happy with their service. Recommend 100%. Dana is a wonderful man and he cares about his work and the customers. Such a pleasant experience for sure.

The best automotive shop in Dover, hands down. Dana is a legend. He is the most honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. He tells you exactly what's going on with your vehicle and doesn't try to rip you off by "finding" things that need to be fixed. There's a reason for all the 5 star reviews: integrity, honesty and competency. If you're in the New Hampshire seacoast area and you're in need of vehicle repair and/or maintenance, you're not going to do any better than Garrison City Automotive!

Garrison City is right down the street from us, so I decided to bring my car there for service one day and I will never go elsewhere. Dana is kind, hardworking and an extremely great communicator. I have had my car serviced at many places and I have never experienced such professional, knowledgeable and reasonable service. I never leave reviews, but truly feel like they deserve to be recognized!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Oil change

Dana and his team are well on their way to earning me as a lifetime customer. He is honest in diagnosing the issue, helping weigh safety risks, fixing for fair prices, quality of work, and meeting agreed upon timelines. Being new to the area and when I first brought my car to his shop I even tested him by having a family member that fixes up cars tell me every that was wrong and the price to expect it to cost. He hit the mark and I can't recommend them enoughServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Brakes

Dana and his crew are fantastic. Have an older car that needed several things, including a catalytic converter. Had a quote earlier from different shop that made my eyes water. These guys saved me money where I could, squeezed in an inspection on a busy day, and even came in under their original quote, which was already hundreds less. Highly recommend!

I drive a highly problematic Hyundai Accent, 2017. Dana and Rodney are absolutely, unquestionably honest and take excellent care of me and this lemon of a car. I will never go anywhere else, and I would give them ten stars if I could.Services: Exhaust, Auto exhaust system repair, Auto exhaust system replacement, Oil changeServices: Exhaust, Auto exhaust system repair, Auto exhaust system replacement, Oil change

Dana and Rodney are so amazing. They've worked on my 2006 car several times and really helped me out. They do very good work and have very fair prices.

Dana the owner is a real nice guy. He has 30 plus years of experience. I took my car there. And i got a estimate. It was a lot cheaper than the last two places i went to before hand. He took care of me. I recommend him to my friends and family also. Give him a shot. You would be disappointed. And im very satisfied with his quality of work. With i found him 20 years ago.

By far the best garage I've worked with. Dana is thoughtful and always tries to fix my vehicle in the most low-cost way first before attempting more expensive methods. They're honest, flexible, and empathetic.

I brought in my wife's car ('07 Honda CRV) for a repair a week ago. The whole process was quick and straightforward. I used Google search to look around for auto shops near me and found this place with a perfect review. Gave them a call, Dana picked up, answered some questions and told them I'd call back. I called back to set up the appointment and they were able to squeeze me in the day before Thanksgiving. I dropped off the car in the morning and it was ready by noon. They did a good job and the pricing is competitive.Thanks guysService: General repairs & maintenance

As a driver who has a disability, Dana has gone out of his way to accommodate me. He always takes time for me, even though I can see he's really busy. He's the best mechanic I've ever had!Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Vehicle safety inspection, Wiper blade installation, Auto brake replacementServices: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Tire rotations, Vehicle Inspection, Vehicle safety inspection, Wiper blade installation, Auto brake replacement
