My old Subaru recently starting throwing codes, not a simple fix such as adding more transmission…read morefluid. Contacted several local repair shops and they all recommended Dr Steve's. Stopped by the garage to discuss this issue and got an appt the following week. They quickly diagnosed the issue (wiring problem) and fixed it themselves. Russ explained the problem and did not try to upsell me extra services. They noticed another minor issue and checked that too with a recommendation for repair at my local garage. The fee was very reasonable considering the work performed. I now understand why numerous mechanics recommended Dr Steve's - they are highly rated for a reason. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my cars here again should we need transmission work.

I took it to 3 different places that stated they specialized in European imports but all the did was charge me for diagnosing a problem that I already was aware of and said sorry take it to the dealer. I took it to Motivated Auto and not only did they not charge me to look at it, they actually took the time time to fix it correctly at a fraction of what I would have paid at the Land Rover dealership. They friendly honest and very reasonable with their pricing. I have found my go to mechanic shop.

I was not disappointed. When I pulled Into the shop Brian took care of me. He assessed my situation then gave me an estimate. Even though the cost of living in Mew Hampshire is more than in Florida, I found in price to be very reasonable. When I picked up my truck, it was fixed right. I would highly recommend Darling's or Phil & Son Auto.

I went to them a few years ago after getting cleaned out by another mechanic two years in a row. The second time, it was obvious fraud (complete failure to address the problem coupled with replacing a part that was good). Am I glad I switched! They do look at things carefully and give accurate assessments of both current and impending problems (like tire wear, for instance, AHEAD of when they need to be replaced). There is absolutely no pressure to buy parts or services from them, based on what they report. From what I've seen and other people tell me, the Darlings try to keep repairs as reasonably affordable as they can. They are more than willing to prioritize what needs to be done, so it can be spread out. Their hourly labor rate is competitive with similar businesses, but since they are competent, it's kind of a bargain. The only drawback is that A LOT of people recommend Phil and Son's. That's bad because it means that there's a wait when I want to get MY car in. In spite of that, I've directed my best friends there because what nicer thing can you do for your friends than to find a very good and ethical mechanic? If they could just book their cars in AFTER mine....
