Solid Work and Trustworthy
After moving to the area a year ago, I researched local car shops and am so grateful I found Dinkins Auto Service. They've consistently provided exceptional service on my two older vehicles, with quality work and surprisingly fair prices. What truly sets them apart is their trustworthiness—I feel completely comfortable sending my daughters here when car issues arise, which says everything about their integrity. Their honesty and reliability have been invaluable, especially when dealing with unpredictable problems that come with aging vehicles. I've confidently recommended them to friends and colleagues because I know they'll be treated right. If you're looking for a garage that combines expertise, fair pricing, and genuine trustworthiness, look no further.
Joe D. from Dinkins Auto Service responded on 05/12/2025 05:05 AM

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's great to hear that you found us after doing your research—a real detective at work! We're glad to know that our services on your older vehicles have earned your trust, especially when it comes to your daughters' car care. Integrity is our middle name (okay, maybe not literally, but you get the idea). We aim to provide honest and reliable service, especially when navigating the ups and downs of aging vehicles. Your recommendations are the ultimate compliment, and we promise to keep living up to the high bar you've set for us. Here's to many more smooth rides ahead!

Only place I go now for the last several years.
They fix it right the first time and without trying to drain you bank account dry.

Car won’t start…
As always, Dinkins quickly diagnosed the problem and advised me of a solution. I was so happy to hear that it could be repaired and ready to go today. This is the second time I have had work done at Dinkins in the past few years. I would recommend them highly.
