I recently asked for recommendations for a car mechanic on Nextdoor. D&K was highly recommended by several neighbors. I recently got a ridiculous quote from Acura. My husband was highly suspicious about some of the items on the list and suggested that I get another opinion. The owner at D&K examined my car and determined that the repairs would not be necessary. Because of their honesty, they will be my mechanic going forward. read more

I took my car in as a referral from the Facebook Cedarpark women's group. As I accelerated, I was getting a vibration it felt like the motor. My husband originally thought it was spark plugs and changed those and did not work. My brother-in-law mentioned it could be a transmission. Dropped it off and within a day, they had diagnosed the transmission having problems. They put an additive in the transmission fluid, which stopped the vibration instead of trying to sell me a whole new transmission. They can't guarantee how long it's going to last because the transmission is actually Having issues but he said it could last 100 miles or 100,000 miles. I just appreciate their honesty and quick turnaround. read more

as a teenage girl, this was my first oil change. I own a 2021 Toyota Corolla, and I was charged $132. My sister went a couple days later, only difference was her car was a 2022, and they only charged her $80. After we pointed out the discrepancy, they only apologized. I understand I didn't do my research, but there are other places that offer this service for half the price and the oil lasts more than 1,000 miles. read more

Unfortunately, I have to rate this place one star because they (Chris) went to my Facebook account and send me the same message again and again with a bad attitude because I don't want to sell my car to this place. To Chris and D&K automotive when I don't want to sell my truck to you, please respect my choice instead give me a bad attitude about it. read more

See all

These guys were such life savers today! My car was overheating and I didn't know what to do. Turns out I've had a small coolant leak for a while that went unnoticed. They were so helpful and nice 10/10 recommend read more

Took my daughters car in to get serviced. They were able to quickly turn it around and repair what was needed great folks and customer service. It's nice to know there are businesses out there with such integrity and honesty willing to take care of customers and get them back on the road. read more

worst mechanic shop I have ever been to. Darrell the owner completely took advantage of my 80 year old mom. Then when I tried to get her taken care of all he did was scream at me over the phone like a 3 year old kid. DON'T EVER TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. read more

Just had some hail damage repaired here. I've been taking all my vehicles to Dan Winter at D&K for 11 years. He and his people are top notch and can do it all. Honest. Fair. Quality. This is the place for all your car needs. I'd do 20 stars if I could. read more

This shop has become victim of its own success. They are way overloaded. I think they can't handle new clients any more. Appointments for me had been ad-hoc. Dan just randomly picks few days out and says come after few days. I am not sure if he is putting it on his calendar. And when I get there on that day, he says we are so busy come back again after few days. WTF ? I gave them benefit of doubt once. But I ain't have time for this. There are better professionally managed shops. read more

Dan and his crew are great! I have taken my vehicle here twice, and have seen nothing but quality work at a great price. These guys are usually busy because they do great work. This is my preferred shop to go to and recommend to my friends and family. Joe Eckels read more

By far the BEST shop in the area. I send all of my friends here when they have issues with their cars. Dan and his crew are the best in the business in not only their mechanic skills, but in honesty and very reasonable prices. They are the only shop that I continually bring my cars to. They do not up-charge for anything and will lay out the scope of the problem for you so you know what will be done to your car. Do yourself a favor and call Dan at D&K, they get it done right. If you are looking for a shop that will take care of you car the right way, and do it with upfront honesty... D&K is the place. read more

My boyfriend recommended this place to me. I brought my car in because the AC is broken and I needed an oil change. We explained that I've had freon added multiple times and it must be a leak because after a day or so it always stops working again... I also made sure to explain that I wanted quotes before hand because my car probably isn't worth a $1000 and I didn't want some big bill that was worth a third of my car. They ended up doing a lot more than I requested and charged me almost $300, exactly like I didn't want. Not happy with it, especially because my AC will only work for the next day before I have to take time to find a new place to take my car. read more

Dan and company does a great job. Would like them to actually reach out better with updates on the vehicle rather than contacting someone after they have already done the work preventing the customer to look at possible options or get insight before moving forward. So was stuck paying before even approving the job. No bueno sir. Communication is key and it lacks from my experience. Positive feedback. read more

Brought my old chevy in after installing headers and a new built engine just needed exhaust work done didnt try to upsell me on extra work but the price was double my usual exhaust guy who was booked solid. Two months later all 6 bolts at the collectors backed out and dropped leaving me with open headers also the mounts broke. Then the guy doing the install literally thought running the pipe against the spare tire was a good idea causing a hole to burn threw the tire. Luckily I caught it before I needed it but it was still a unnecessary $300 spent on a new tire.Then the icing on the top I stupidly left my $500 code diagnostic computer in the truck that didnt return with the truck read more

D & K Automotive Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Leander, Texas

Brought my Honda Odyssey in for repair and got everything fixed much cheaper than I thought it would be. Also a possible problem I had forgot to mention was brought up telling me they were diligently checking everything in my van. read more

Dan at D&K was awesome. I brought my truck in and told him what the issue was. He gave me his suggestions and we moved forward with the repair. My truck came back running great and was fixed the FIRST time - which is more than what I can say about other auto repair places I've been to in the past. Reliable service - reasonably priced. I would come back if I needed to... read more

Just had to replace the transmission on a 2008 Chrysler T&C...yes, only 4 years old...I know, I know. We went to the dealership first, who was not much help. D&K was hands above in service and honesty. I was amazed at how quickly they jumped on the job and got it done. This was our first time using D&K. So, new transmission, a great warranty, and a new auto shop for future use....finally someone we can trust! read more

was looking for a repair shop close to my house. but don't want to use one of those corporate shops that have people that don't care and squeeze you for every penny to send up the corporate ladder. so i saw D&K was close by. took my grandson's car to him. it was running very rough. it didn't have any trouble codes. he found a wire harness that had some bad wiring and repaired it. if you don't know, wiring issues can be difficult to track down and you can be charged a lot. Dan explained what the problem was and fixed it for a fair price. good, honest, fair , and friendly. i'll be back next time something goes wrong with one of my families cars. read more

A great mechanic is hard to find! I have used a lot of different garages in the Leander/Cedar Park area, so when I found D&K Automotive Repair I knew I had a winner! First of all, Dan is very professional, knowledgeable, and answered all of my dumb questions without making me feel bad! I love that he didn't talk down to me. Dan also worked hard to repair what needed to be repaired without charging me money for extra repairs. My clutch had gone out & when I got my car back--incredibly it drives better than it ever did before the clutch broke. I feel like I'm driving a new car. I had called around beforehand, and Dan's bid was the lowest I could find. Great work, low prices? This place is a jewel. I really recommend D&K Automotive Repair, especially if you're a single woman who doesn't know much about cars. Thank you, Dan! read more

Dan at D&K Automotive has been our go to guy for every vehicle we own for years. He is honest, he is fair, he is simply the best!

I have been using Sun Auto Service in Cedar Park for some time now and their technicians and mechanics have been extremely professional and courteous to me as a customer. Sun Auto is also the most economical when it comes to regular maintenance services such as oil changes etc. I will definitely recommend their service to friends and family. Thank you Alan and Sun Auto Service for a great experience every time. read more

I brought one of my cars into a "big name" garage in the area for some service. After a ridiculous estimate, I brought the car over to this shop based on a recommendation from my cable guy (of all people). That's where I found out that I only needed half of the "recommended" work done. Saved me a ton of cash. It's easy to miss their turn off from the highway, but it's worth the drive over there. Dan is just a nice guy - straight up. He took ten or fifteen minutes of his time on the phone just to look up information about recommended service schedules with me. I never feel pressured into getting service done and I honestly feel that he wants the best for his clients. I will continue to bring my Fords into him. Oh, and his dog is pretty awesome, too. read more

I found a hidden gem in Leander. I needed some exhaust repairs on a 2003 Montero that I just bought. The quotes from Austin and Cedar Park shops were extremely high. I do most of my repairs myself. I talked to the guys at Advance auto parts and they said I should go to D&K and talk to Dan. They really need a sign on Crystal Falls. I finally found it and Dan took great care of my exhaust issue at a fair price. I will always take my cars to Dan when it is beyond my basic skills. This is my first yelp review because he deserved it. read more

Dan at D&K Automotive Repair has saved us several times. He does quality work for a reasonable price. Any time you deal with car issues it can be tricky and to know I have a mechanic I can take the car to for honest work gives me piece of mind!! I highly recommend D&K Automotive Repair. read more

This is hands down the best auto repair shop. Dan winter and staff are very friendly and helpful. I didn't feel like I was forced into or led to believe that my vehicle Required unneeded work. Also Very straight up and level with me. In fact showed pictures of the before and after to me, of issues I had in the past but thought it was taken care of with a different mechanic. Thank god they caught it, or I would have had a huge issue in long run. I can't express the gratitude I have for there honesty, efficiency, and all around best service I have ever received. I will make sure my family, friends, clients and myself go here from now on. So if your in need of a great mechanic, look no further. I definitely recommend them. read more

I have been using D&K for years. They have proven themselves to be reliable and honest. My first time there, after taking it for an estimate elsewhere and getting much higher quotes, D&K came in much lower across the board and also did not recommend some things that were not really needing to be replaced. There were other cases since then where they could have easily pushed a repair on me but instead made the case for not doing something unnecessary given the cost. read more

I put a desperate plea on my neighborhood web-site looking for an honest mechanic who would stand behind his work & not rip a single Mom off. I was referred to D & K. My husband recently deployed to Afghanistan. Up until the day he left, him & our 16 year old son worked sun up to sun down to get our son's first car on the road. Unfortunately they ran in to "electrical issues" that would not allow the car to pass inspection. Husband hops on a plane without a car they worked on together for 6 months being on the road. I call Dan, explain our situation & get his word that he will do us right & stand behind his work. A sense of relief came over me. I thought I had found someone close by that I can rely on over the deployment. Monday morning I stop at HEB put in $20 gas, drive to D & K to drop off car. Dan was kind enough to drive me back home. Calls me & quotes me $250 to get electrical piece (brake lights/blinkers) & horn working, also an inspection sticker. He calls me the next day to say it was ready. Pay Dan. Everyone's happy. As I am leaving his shop I run out of gas less than a quarter of a mile from his shop. He was kind enough to come help me get the car started with a couple gallons of gas along w/a passer byer. I thanked him kindly. I said "I owe you one" He says. "Don't worry about it" (I need to add that I called him 2 times that week when I was getting a coffee & bagel. I wanted to bring by a bucket of bagels & coffee to thank him) I got no answer either time. It crossed my mind that he had caller ID and probably thought I was having issues w/car and he didn't want to deal with me. Anyway, next step is to get car registered. Fail. Apparently where Dan took the car, they did not give him a proper paper for an out of state vehicle. No big deal. I try to call Dan again to find out where he got the car inspected. No answer. I locate an address on the inspection receipt. Drive to the place. That is when I realized how it was possible for me to run out of gas. It was way the heck out there. Finally, car is inspected & registered! My son & husband are happy! First stop Cedar Park Saturday night car show! (Did I mention it is a red 69 Pontiac LeMans?) Stop and get some gas at Signature, an suv was backing out of storefront, got pretty close to our car, I went to honk to alert them, HORN DOESN'T WORK! Proceed on...We pull in only to get greeted by a bunch of car show spectators telling us how our brake lights & blinkers are criss crossed and one of our running light are out as well as a reverse light. So at this point everything D&K had done and charged me $250 for doesn't work. I call them first thing Monday morning to let Dan know. Of course he is slammed and busy. I explain to him that my son would like to drive his car on Valentines Day. Didn't happen... I get the car in on Tuesday morning... he calls me Tuesday afternoon saying it's ready. I stop and get a $20 out to give him for standing behind his work & for the gas help. My 16 year old son & I go in his office and he tells me I owe him nearly $150!! What??? I asked him to explain the charges... First charge was $15 for the gas he helped me with! That is just plain old UN-AMERICAN if you ask me. What kind of decent shop owner gives a car back to a customer on EMPTY knowing HE was the one who drove it across town to get it inspected! At this point I am not sure how it even passed inspection! The other charges were the same things we paid for the first time! Bottom line... with a cocky attitude he waived the labor and just charged me for the "GAS" and parts. I am not sure what kind of gas he got for $15 in a little red container but for the record I kept my $20 & blessed our waiter with it that night when we went out for dinner. The waiter was appreciative of us getting screwed over by the mechanic,, it made his night more profitable! I will never go there again. He did not stand behind his work as promised and was a complete jerk when I had to bring the car back. He could of had a customer for life but instead I will warn folks about his character. The most disappointing thing is that my 16 year old son had to witness his dishonesty first hand. It was really hard to keep my composure and pay Dan but I did. It was a good life lesson for my son. Thanks for reading! read more

Honest good people. off the beaten path but well worth it. They make quick and accurate assessments, and get things completed in a quick manner. Good Coffee, say hello to friendly Yorkie ! read more

The service is impeccable. I've used D&K multiple times -- 2003 Saab, 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2001 Saturn Vue. In all cases, they've been straight, honest, fast, and reasonably priced. They have fixed or checked problems for free. I call them when I have questions and they ALWAYS take the time to answer anything, even if it means that I don't take the car in because they've fixed my problem over the phone. It's amazing to find a company that truly stands up for customer service in the automotive industry -- well, now you've found one. Even if I moved to San Marcos or Waco, I'd probably STILL bring my car here to get it fixed. I will be back. No questions asked. read more

I'm very comfortable with this place. It sucks being a woman who's not all that knowledgeable in auto mechanics and doesn't have a mechanic that she really trusts. When I go to the big name places they look carefully for every possible thing they can find that's not in optimal condition and tell you that it has to be replaced ASAP and it'll cost $700. I looked this place up when I had to replace something that would have cost me $1500. They fixed it for much less, plus taught me how to replace my own a/c and gave me the part I needed to do it. They always try to work within a reasonable budget, including calling around to junk yards for used parts, which the big name places refuse to do. I'm on a first name basis with the owner and his dog, Diesel. I do call ahead to make sure they have time before I come, and sometimes I have to wait a day or so. read more

My estimate for a (yikes) transmission ranged from $3000 to $4500 ... enough to strike fear, loathing and posting on junkmycar.com. Then I called Dan at D & K Automotive by way of a craigslist ad. He soothed my worried mind, assuring me though the nasty name brand place I'd taken my older Mercedes to had seen fit to charge me lots of money for doing basically nothing then frightening me with a huge transmission replacement tab ... his mission in life was to set me up with a refurb trans for $1380 walking out the door AND allowing me generous leeway (like 2 paychecks worth) time to pay the tab off while driving to work instead of annoying friends, coworkers and the roommate. My faith in humanity and auto repair shops specifically, thanks to Dan and D & K Automotive, is restored. read more

I have already written a review, but I just wanted to say that three years later we are still going to D&K.... He is honest, fair, and timely.. quality work too. Please go here. They are great. read more

Dan won't call anybody else's baby ugly. Meaning, there are plenty of automotive repair places in Leander/Cedar Park - and some are good, some are horrible. And you know the feeling when you get your car back and while you open the door you can't help but think, "damn, it couldn't have cost that much to repair." and then you think, "oh well, at least it's fixed." I haven't felt that way once while going to D&K (Dan). He'll shoot you straight. I went to him with brake repairs the first time. desperate. I could practically feel the brakes ripping apart my wheels, whenever i applied them. sure enough i called around and got some quotes for pads, 300.00 for both sides. Dan said it'd be 250.00 and he used WAGNER'S (top tier brakes) and added drums; plus i got a call later and he said i had a gas leak, and the back brakes were shot as well. So when i left it was 600.00 for (front, back) brakes pads/drums/gas line repair. Now, times being tough as they are, Dan came through like a champion. I really appreciate his shop being as accommodating as they are, and plan to use them for almost every other vehicle repair in the future. In my experience i expected to pay more for less, but was happy with the feeling that received an honest and a tremendous unexpected value that i have been unable to find in my search for car repairs (i have a Murano 07, HAD maxima 01 - got rid of). Thanks Dan. Nick read more

Dan was extremely knowledgeable and fair. Great place for repairs or if you're thinking of purchasing a reliable vehicle. Margaret was fantastic and super friendly. read more

Very honest owner. We've been twice and both times he's altered us to issues we will have to deal with down the road but service that can wait. The repairs he made on our van were done fast and efficiently. Will definitely be going back and referring friends here. read more

Beyond a doubt the VERY BEST, TOP-NOTCH, PROFESSIONAL and HONEST automotive technicians anywhere. Totally worth the drive from wherever you are to have D&K do your work. I drive all the way from Buda to go to D&K because I am so confident about their expertise and I know they are trustworthy. They won't try to talk you into having things done that don't need to be done. Yet, if they say something absolutely needs to be done...listen to them...because it needs to be done. It is such a pleasure to do business with them!!! read more

Dan & the crew over at D & K are the best! We were quoted $1800 to fix our A/C on our Honda Odyssey Van. These guys went out of their way to carefully diagnose & repair the problem. Everything now works like a charm & for ONLY $600 !!! They stayed late to allow us to pick up after hours. I cannot say enough how great our experience was. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone in the area. read more

We took in my wife's Honda because one of the back power windows stopped working. We could not have asked for a better assessment and follow-through. He replaced the window motor and let us know that the peeling window tint contributed to the window motor burning out. read more
