Dennis Auto Repair

Please folks I am warning you guys, dont patronize this crook named Dennis. Bad work, will rip you off and charge for labor he didn’t even do. Look him up on the bbb. Enough said !

He screwed up my repairs multiple times. He replaced a part that didn’t need to be replaced (though I agreed to this stupid idea). He once pretended my car was not starting and I had to spend 500 dollars to replace parts. I went to the shop and finally found out my car was starting. I believe he pretends to not speak well English so he can be dismissive and not answer to questions. It doesn’t get any worse than Dennis Auto Repair!

DISHONEST MECHANIC!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! THIEF THIEF THIEF!!!
If you read further down to one of the other 1 star reviews, you will see how he almost killed someone else with a faulty axle repair.
My car needed work done for a specific set of codes. After I took the car back, the check engine light came back on. He kept telling me nothing was wrong… he went so far as to one time say that there was a loose wire causing the light to come back on and that he fixed the loose wire.
I took my car to a large and reputable shop and showed them the invoice for the work he had done. He had cleaned a bunch of parts that needed replaced, replaced other parts with incorrect parts that continued to cause the check engine light to come on, and he had overcharged me 2x for the labor hours.
Additionally, right after I took my car to him for the initial repair, my transmission died. My initial repair had nothing to do with transmission and the transmission had not been running poorly before he touched my car. WTF?
This guy is a THIEF!
That is all there is to it.

I brought my 1998 Crown Vic to Dennis for the back brakes, my car never had any other problems before this, 3 hours after I picked up my car all my sensors on the dash started going crazy and my car never started again. I replaced the battery which died an hour later. I am having a new alternator put in right now (not by dennis) even tho the alternator was replaced 3 months ago… DO NOT GO TO DENNIS

What a bunch of Jokers.
I would not let them work on my Lawn Mower.
Took my truck in do to it running rough. Dropped it off for them to Diagnose the issue. They called me 30 min after i left and told me that one of the cylinders was bad and i needed to rebuild the top end.
(I did not tell them i was a Mechanic for 15 years and i just dont have time to work on my own truck)
They told me i had low compression in one cylinder and it was burning oil. I asked him to pull the plug and show me and he got all in my face. I’m not joking. I thought we where going to throw down, i was shocked.
I went home pulled the plugs, The pugs where all burning fine and there are no oil deposits on plugs. This truck only has 75,000 mi on it. I ran a compression test all 4 cylinders where within 4LBS of each other. So i had one of my employees drop me of at another shop that will remain un-​named so you don’t think I’m hear making shit up so i can plug another Mechanic.
The other shop looked at it, called me back and told me they needed to replace the IAC Valve. $ 200 latter I’m on the rode.
So stay away from this place. I don’t know where the other review came from. There where 5 guys working there. Only one spoke OK English. His name was not Dennis.

Dennis is awesome. Running his own shop, he doesn’t have to pay employees to do the work, saving a lot on labor costs. My Jeep Grand Cherokee had a crack in its radiator, he identified it quickly and even waived the $ 25 diagnostic fee because I was a regular customer and brought him a lot of business. He said to replace it would be $ 280+tx ($ 303 after). I quickly called up another shop, very well rated and friends of the family, and they were charging $ 476 (after tax). I spoke to the guy about the price, and over half of that was labor fees alone. Dennis to the rescue. Where this other shop charges nearly $ 250 for labor for 2 hours of work, Dennis charges $ 100.
$ 100!
I’m in love. Dennis is fair, up front about everything that needs to be done and is a great mechanic. Any problems I have, I take it to him right away to have him run his tests and find the problem. 5 star experience.

Do you ask a barber if you need a haircut?
Certainly hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, but
once you find one, you put him/​her on speed dial!
Dennis, the owner, is honest and realistic about your options
with your vehicle. After using his services for TWO years now,
I have no regrets.
He doesn’t push you to fix everything. Lets you know what the issues are if you don’t.
He specializes in diagnosing, when lotsa other places
can not figure why certain things do not work.
