Got my front control arms and bushings replaced here about 6 months ago and was told my tires didn't need to be realigned, despite other mechanics suggesting they did. Was told the other places were trying to rip me off. My front tires have worn down an incredible amount since then and need to be replaced, despite being only 2 years old with 20k miles on them they need to be replaced, while the rear tires are still solid. Don't recommend this place unfortunately, and will be telling my family/friends to stay away. It's too bad as I live quite close by and they seemed nice. read more

In an industry fraught with scammers, Dom's is the real deal ! Honest, reliable, fair. We have 2 cars in South Philly that Dom has been taking care of for a few years. He treats his customers with respect, and as a female, I don't feel taken advantage of, I actually feel like he is looking our for us. He often goes above and beyond and we highly recommend him. read more

My old mechanic retired recently, and I've been searching for a new, trustworthy garage. I took my car to another repair shop in Philly for an inspection, and was told that my motor mounts were bad and it would be almost $1k to fix. Thinking that quote was high, I called Dom's for an estimate. I had never been there before. He had an opening the next day, inspected the car, and found that nothing was wrong, there were no bad mounts! And, his inspection fee was a bit less than the other place. Fair prices, fast service, and I really appreciate that Dom and his team value people enough to tell the truth.  Next time I need auto repair or maintenance done, I'll most likely go back to Dom's. Thank you!! read more

Dom is absolutely wonderful and does a great job. It can be difficult as a young woman to find an auto repair place that doesn't seem to be taking advantage of you but Dom is so genuine and it is clear he cares about his customers. read more

I was desperate for an oil change. And it was my birthday. I called Dom and he stayed open a little bit longer, somewhat to the chagrin of the auto technicians, the day before Christmas Eve. The service was excellent, and my trust was earned. I honestly would recommend Dom's to anyone. When my wife and I move back to Philadelphia, we'll be using Dom's on a regular basis. read more

I called this place inquiring if they were able to work on my Cadillac. The connection was bad and the called dropped. It happened a second time. I called again and they didn't answer. Ok. read more

I won't go anywhere else...unless Dom tells me to. We all worry about mechanics being honest, and Dom is as straight a shooter as they come. He has always done good work at fair prices. On the occasion when I had something he couldn't handle, he has explained the issue to me and given me recommendations on where to go and what to expect. He has my trust and my business. Dom is an extremely nice, friendly man running a neighborhood business. I'm glad he's here. read more

Bar none, the most honest mechanics in Philadelphia. I took my car there for a starting issue, turns out the battery died in my key fob and they changed it for me and it started my car, I know for a fact some other shops would of pounced on such an easy mark, but not 1939 auto, very reputable and highly recommended read more

Great guy, fast work, great service. I called this morning and asked if I could bring my Ford Focus in for an inspection and Dom was very friendly on the phone. Brought it in and quickly saw that I was going to need tires. The car ended up needing quite a few things, but Dom got me a good price and got it all done in just a few hours. He even fixed my wiper fluid nozzle for free, vaccuumed out my front seats and "refreshed" my AC. Overall, he was very helpful and fast. Highly recommended. read more

Dom is absolutely wonderful. I went in because I needed new brakes and rotors, and he had me in and out in two hours. He explained everything that needed to be done in detail and even let me come back to see where my rotors were worn. He fixed a serious problem that an oil change at Meineke caused, and he was honest and upfront about everything. His prices are great, and he doesn't gouge you with labor costs. He doesn't do unnecessary work and he is super nice. I highly recommend him. He also donates 10% to the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society if you bring in the flier! read more

Had a flat a couple months ago; sidewall rendered the tire useless (thanks pothole). Call to Dom's the next morning, got me in and out in under 90 minutes with a new tire. Spare was put back in the trunk, wheel lock in the console...clean and easy. Highly recommend and I'll be back. read more

I like this local shop because the diagnostic is free. Donna's family and without pressure. He's real old-school South Philly. I feel good supporting a local business when I go here and get my car repaired. read more

Saw other yelp reviews and it encouraged me to reach out regarding my truck. Dom did not disappoint. Brought my truck in at 6:30am, he had it done by 8:30 and repaired at a reasonable cost. read more

Couldn't be nicer and quick. Caught Dom's on a slack day and I was able to wait for my car while they did a PA inspection. That never happens! I could tell immediately that Dom looks after his customers as his primary mission. He could not be any fairer in terms of his pricing and what great customer service! He went over the inspection with me and laid out my options for the return date on the sticker. No one ever did that for me either and there have been times when repair shops have shorted me on the length of the sticker date. I had one shop put a ten month sticker on the car which I didn't notice until it expired prematurely. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to have a car serviced here. There is a good reason why Dom gets so many superlatives with his reviews. I don't usually rave about a business but Dom's gets a 10 out of 10! read more

Ended up here through a friendly recommendation and I this is the only place Ill take my car. Dom is a standup guy and the shop does excellent work. I had to get some work done on my exhaust to pass inspection and Dom sent me to another spot knowing they could do the repair for a little cheaper. Saved me 200 bucks! Who does that!? If you take your car here I can assure you that you're in good hands. Highly reccomended read more

So happy to have found Dom's. Trustworthy, competent, and LOCAL. My car has never been in better hands.

I've taken my car to Dom's for two inspections and I will not go anywhere else now! He's accommodating, fast, incredibly nice, and does an amazing job. What I appreciate the most is that he's honest. He's never pressured me to get extra services and never tries to charge for something I didn't need (which I've experienced at other mechanics). If my car needs anything, without hesitation I'm taking it back to Dom's because I know they will handle everything for me. Tip: call ahead because they are very busy. read more

I feel the need to update this review since it's been over a year since we were lucky enough to meet Dom. I still can't say enough good things about Dom and his mechanics. I've been in and out of his shop several times in the past year, mostly for normal preventative maintenance and to fix a few small issues. Both cars are well over 100,000 miles, which is not a problem at all if you have Dom taking care of you. It is an amazing comfort to know that he always has your best interest at heart and really wants the best for his customers. You will need no further proof than sitting in his office and observing his interactions with customers. It is extremely obvious that each one has an indescribable respect, admiration and love for this truly genuine guy. I've recommended Dom to every one of my friends in Philadelphia, and each one has thanked me extensively after visiting him. Do yourself and your vehicle a favor and let Dom extend his expertise and kindness to you! read more

Dom is great, he's friendly, accommodating, and does good work at a really fair price. Going to the mechanic isn't ever fun, but all of my experiences at Dom's have been great. If you live in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend keeping your money in a great, family owned business like Dom's. read more

I needed an oil change and inspection for a car I just bought, and I stopped by at Dom's. I didn't have an appointment, but they fit me in anyways. I was AMAZED at how fast I got a call back to pick up my car. They were 100% transparent in the price, and recommended exactly what I needed to get done. If you're looking for fast, good service, and honesty, this is the place! read more

These guys are the best. Friendly, knowledgeable, honest, efficient, and good at what they do. They are up front with you and describe/give details regarding any/all work they do. If they replace a part, they give you back the broken part. If they need a part, they go above and beyond to acquire it for you. Best mechanics in the city. read more

Dom is great. Really takes care of his customers and goes above and beyond!! Highly recommend Dom's Auto Repair. If you are looking for a mechanic in Philly go to Dom!! read more

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Dom and his staff are everything you would want a service shop to be. I just moved to South Philadelphia, and looked to Yelp when I thought my van's battery was dying. I saw all of the great reviews for Dom's, and gave him a call at 8:45am. I was at his garage by 9:15, and the technicians realized that, in addition to the battery, the larger problem was a bad starter. They were able to order the starter, and replace both it and the battery in less than 2 hours. The entire time, Dom was extremely helpful in explaining what they were doing, and why they were doing it. The price was extremely reasonable, and the pride and expertise Dom and his crew bring to their work is a total pleasure to be involved with. I drive around 40,000 miles a year, and go through new vehicles every few years. I've had every conceivable thing break, and have been at garages all over the United States and Europe. I would put Dom's in the top of my list, and as long as I'm living anywhere near Philadelphia, I'll never go anywhere else. THANK YOU, guys. You've made me feel welcomed into the neighborhood! read more

Nothing but entirely pleased with our service - from the first phone call to our fixed car! Very knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and you can't beat the price or kindness. So happy to have found "our car guy" in our new town. You honestly feel like he is on your side - like your own Dad or Grandpa looking out for you. read more

I had a really good experience with Dom and his team. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and I know they gave me a really good deal on my tires. It was my first time using Doms Auto Repair and I will definitely be back in the future. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Dom - I'm very thankful for you. We've had lots of interaction during the last seven years, between two different vehicles. Every time I come into the shop, you are pleasant, courteous and respectful. I appreciate your willingness to explain things to me if I don't quite understand things the first time around. And you complete maintenance work and repairs in a timely fashion, and stay in contact with me during the process. So why would I take the time to give you a great "shout-out" on Yelp today? I had a really frustrating experience at Piazza Honda over a safety recall (that you couldn't do for me). This reminded me of how much I value you - and I wanted others to know just how incredible you are. Please pass along my appreciation for consistent, fabulous service to Willie and the rest of your staff. read more

Friendly fair and flexible. Never have to worry about being overcharged, having things done you didn't ask or don't need. Can trust their opinion and work. read more

Don's Auto Repair, experience was great. He was pleasant. Got the job done in a reasonable time. They were great. Nothing to complain about.

The most honest person... great work... an all around good guy! We have used Dom for years and my son does too!

Rarely am I inspired to write reviews on Yelp.. but I had to after today. Needed an oil change and my tire light was on. Let me preface this review by saying that although I am a grown woman, I know scary little about cars. Found Dom on Yelp. Called him up. Within an hour I was in the shop, within a half hour I was out with an oil change, air in my tires, a vacuumed car, and a huge smile. This is hands down the most affordable and best service I've ever had in Philly. Would give more than 5 stars if I could! read more

I've used Dom's twice for an inspection, oil change and other small repairs. Whenever I call, Dom can work on my car the next day. They complete the work quickly and always call if what they find is different than what I expect. Last year, my car was making some strange noises but it is over 10 years old, so I explained that I did not want to put a huge amount of money into it if the problem was significant. It ended up being belts and Dom replaced them. He walked me through my bill step by step, explaining every charge from parts to labor. I always feel like Dom wants my business and I can trust him. I highly recommend Dom's Auto Repair. read more

Great service! I got my oil changed and tires rotated in under an hour. Reasonably priced and they don't try to over sell you on things you need for your car. Calling ahead of time to make sure they have time to fit you in is definitely recommended. read more

Dom helped me get my car up and running again after it was recovered from being stolen. It runs even better than it did before. Great service and good price. read more

Dom's team is honest, kind, hardworking, timely, and extremely affordable. I cannot recommend his services enough. He has charged me less than half of what I have had quoted for the same services elsewhere. Please support a family-run local business like his! You will not find a better mechanic--Philly is lucky to have him. read more

Honest, fair, and friendly repair shop. I needed a last minute PA safety and emissions inspections and Dom and his mechanics were able to fit me in with no appointment, and I was driving away happy before I even finished my morning coffee. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood, so glad that Dom's is just a block away! My car needed an oil change, Dom's was able to do it on the spot. Quick, friendly, affordable. Tire rotation, vacuuming, topped off fluids, vent cleaning and oil/filter change all included. Not bad! read more

This was by FAR the best experience I have had with a mechanic in Philadelphia. Dom was honest, quoted me a price, and stuck to it! I will 100% return for all my car's needs read more

Deeply regret Dom retiring and no longer owning this business. I called and made an appointment for State Inspection, oil change, etc. a week ago. Showed up at exactly 8AM today and was told that they had no record of an appointment. But the woman sitting behind the desk remembered our conversation and acknowledged that she spoke with me last week. The person that I assume is the "New Owner" was not at all apologetic and told me that I would have to leave the car for hours because they were busy and didn't have the proper equipment and would have to send it somewhere else. I expected to sit and read for the usual 1 to 2 hours that it took Dom to service my vehicle. I understand a learning curve when you assume and take over an existing business. But I don't understand lack of customer service. My Loyalty was to Dom for almost 20 years. It won't be easy finding a replacement. They should rename the business so that no one thinks they are dealing with the original and the BEST. read more

Did a wonderful job fixing my car . I appreciate honest mechanics. Did great job was reasonable with his pricing . Will diffently bring my car here from now on .thanks for the hard work read more

I walked out of my house on a snowy day to a flat tire. I called Dominic to see if I could get it towed to them. They said yes and AAA dropped it off. They had a new tired on in under 2 hours during the snow storm! Thanks again! read more
