Great Place
I came upon this place over 1 year ago for a nail in my tire. I have since gone back there for both our cars oil changes. They are wonderful. They are very professional and have that old school treatment to them, where you feel comfortable walking in. I have since referred them to friends and neighbors

Awesome help
They went above and beyond to check out my son‘s car that died right in front of their shop. They were able to diagnose it and come to the conclusion that it would cost too much to fix. They didn’t even charge us for the diagnosis as they felt bad for my son. Absolute great shop. I’ve heard nothing but good things from friends who have had work done here I would highly recommend any type of work for them. Thank you.

Great, quick, and honest service
Jeff was very attentive and listened to my concerns regarding my car. Rich did a complete inspection and provided a detailed report of their findings for my review and approval. Any questions I asked, Jeff was able to answer. Pricing fell within the norm and turnaround time was quick. I recommend them as they gained my trust.
Your Friends at D. from Drew Street Auto Repair responded on 11/10/2025 09:41 AM

We appreciate your review and are pleased to hear that Jeff took the time to address your concerns—it's always nice when the mechanic becomes a kind of car therapist! Rich certainly knows how to inspect a vehicle thoroughly, and we’re glad you found the detailed report helpful. It sounds like you had a top-notch experience with our team, which is always our goal. If they ever start charging for car therapy sessions, we’ll be sure to give you a heads up! Your trust means a lot, and we're here whenever you need us.

Car Battery
I suspected my battery was getting towards life end. Went in for a battery check. Battery failed and needed to be replaced. Rich replaced it and was out in 30 minutes. Clean facility, great service/mechanics and a great interstate battery.

Professional miracle!
The crew of Drew Street Auto is absolutely professional and really good at what they do. Mr. Jeff is an office wonder who balances responsibilities with being so very kind to a 3-year old. Rich and crew are consistent professionals of the highest integrity. I never have to wonder if something’s done properly.
Your Friends at D. from Drew Street Auto Repair responded on 10/18/2025 09:42 AM

We appreciate your glowing review! It sounds like our team has left quite an impression—not just for their skills but also for their ability to charm even the tiniest customers. Jeff is indeed an office wonder; we suspect he has a secret stash of cookie bribes to entertain the little ones. And we're delighted to hear that Rich and the crew are maintaining their high standards. Your trust means the world to us, and we'll keep striving to ensure you're never left wondering about a job well done.
