Danny's Car Clinic

I first brought my car to Danny to diagnose a squealing belt after four unsuccessful attempts by the dealership to correct the problem. Danny quickly identified the correct source of the problem and fixed it. Danny's crew is always friendly, courteous and knows how to take care of a customer. No matter what I bring my car in for, Danny always give it a complete inspection and presents any findings without pushing additional work. He lays the problem out, explains the severity of the situation and leaves it to the customer to make an informed decision. My car currently has over 170,000 miles and is still going strong thanks, in part to Danny's. I would recommend Danny's Car clinic to anyone.

I've been going to Danny's shop for two+ years now and I have come to the conclusion that they are the only ones that I can trust with our family cars. Danny and his team have taken the time to explain the complex details of the issues that our vehicles have faced, providing me with the opportunity to make an educated decision on whether or not the repairs should be done or not. In my early years, I was a US AirForce fighter jet (F15C/D) electrician, fire suppression and environmental systems specialist - so the inner workings of cars is something that I'm either familiar with or can easily grasp. Danny's team has not once misinformed me.

It's nice to have a one-on-one relationship with a repair shop. When I read about the "good old days" of smaller towns, filled with butcher shops, bakeries and small grocery stores, I learn how relationships are formed between customers and merchants. When at Danny's shop, I feel like I'm in a small town, where I have that type of relationship with Danny and his team.

Compare that with larger dealership-type shops, where such relationships do not exist or you sometimes get treated like cattle, and my decision is clear. As long as Danny's car clinic is open, I will have my vehicles will be serviced by them.

I have been going to Danny's for a few years, originally due to the reviews I saw on tire rack. Those highly positive reviews were dead on. In all my dealings with Danny's, they have been honest and straightforward. When I've brought my car in with a problem, they have provided a range of repair options to chose from to accommodate my budget. When there has been an issue with the work performed, no matter how small, they have done whatever was necessary to make it right. I highly recommend Danny's.

The mechanic was rude and mean and only want to make money! I spend $100 to check my car and they wanted me to spend $1000 to fix my car which only worth $5000. They also speak very bad words and humiliated me. They especially try to take advantage of woman. Do not ever go there to fix your car!!!

A/C compressor pulley bearings were noisy however a/c worked fine. Requested pully replacement, they convinced me to to replace the old compressor.The $830 bill said the a/c could not be tested because it was too cold ouside. Returned in April because a/c was not cooling. They recharged the system and I returned a month later asking them not to recharge unless they fixed the leaks first.
Got a call that leaks were fixed but they wanted to replace the evaporator for $1000. Told them I'll stop by to get the car. Fixing the pulley would have been better for me and them because no refrigerant lines would be disconnected and I would not be writing this poor review of their shop.

WENT HERE BECAUSE NEEDED MD INSPECTION AND ONLY ONE OPEN ON A SATURDAY. I FEEL THEY TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FEMALES. EN EXHAUST REPAIR SHOULD NOT COST $1200. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE MECHANICALLY INCLINED RELATIVES. WOMEN BEWARE!
