Fail. Asked them to diagnose the oil leak with my car. 1 1/2 hours later, told me all was fixed. They said the drain bolt gasket was missing (drain bolts have washers, not gaskets) and the oil filter wasn t on tight enough. I went out to get the car to find a puddle of oil under the car. They straight up lied to me like a crooked mechanic. Quickest way to shutter a business: lie to your customers. Took to another shop, and they found that the oil drain plug was stripped, oil pan was cracked, and leaks from cam shafts. That was what I needed from DFA, and all I got was charged for nothing.Service: Oil change

Upfront, honest & transparent shop. Highly knowledgeable. Quick turn around time. High quality work performed. Pricing was also very fair. Couldn't be happier!Lil' bit of a shade-tree mechanic myself, a big "car guy" and have always been super particular about who/where my vehicles get taken to... and I can say that after my experience & a few convos with Collin, DF Auto has definitely earned my trust.Without a doubt will be a return customer here (and since I'm currently pushing an old, lifted p.o.s J33P GC - prob gna be a frequent one too haha)

The man running this place tells you exactly how it is and will not tell you otherwise. If you need to make changes he will let you know and you will always drive away with a better car. It's hard to find an honest man on the auto industry. This shop is a mark of excellence.[Edit]: My friend who worked here and made this such a great shop has moved on to other work. I went once for an oil change and that's how I found out he wasn't there. The tone and candor of this place as significantly changed. Looked for a better shop and found an excellent one.

Collin Redley, the owner, is a drag racer and has built some of the FASTEST ENGINES in the state of New York.He's a ASE certified technician and his knowledge is beyond reproach.He's worked in the film industry rigging the camera cars so he knows how to make things work and fast.Fair pricing and excellent work done right the first time is the hallmark of greatness when it comes to repairing our cars.

Had 9:00 a.m.appointment for a NYS Inspection andess left my car expecting to pick it up after lunch.Was pleasantly surprised to get a call back that my car was ready in less than an hour.They were honest and professional alerting me that an oil change at this time was not needed but to monitor my mileage and tires for possible future replacement. I was only charged for the inspection without any other extra charges.

Highly annoyed. They have such great reviews, however upon arriving I was quickly addressed by I assume the owner or manager who was in a hurry to inform me can t park here multiple times, all I was trying to do was ask if I could even be seen for an oil change and inspection. So I pulled around to the other side, got out my car to ask this woman my question. She informed me they didn t have any availability until Thursday, which is fine. I did say to her, you couldn t just tell me that two seconds ago when I quickly pulled in the first time, even after I said I just have a quick question! Instead of making A big fuss in the first place?! She concluded with a wise side comment that I don t remember because she had already waisted enough of my time acting the way she did in a very less then professional manor. Don t waste your time. Rude. I did go down the street to another highly reputable automotive shop and they were able to take care of my vehicle and they were VERY courteous and extremely helpful!!!!

Collin is a perfectionist and holds himself and his employees to a higher standard. He is by far one of the most knowledgeable guys in the industry and isn't afraid to jump in on the work himself to get the job done right.

They had my car for 7 hours. They didn't ask my permission to replace parts on my car and then billed me for them. The inspection cost me over $100 due to failed wiper blades that were less than 6 months old. What a scam.BTW the other reviewers work at the shop.

Clowns changed my oil. Oil started leaking they told me my oil pan needed replacing. They ended up leaving the drain plug loose. Go anywhere but here
