Unfortunately, I was supposed to receive a call as promised on three occasions and I ended up calling each time. It was a bit haphazard on the customer service front to include checkout and getting my car. The quality and quick turnaround as well as surprisingly reasonable cost for break line repair led to a solid three stars.

I came in for a simple oil change and walked out feeling completely taken advantage of. They handed…read moreme a ridiculous laundry list of "critical" repairs, including a wheel bearing replacement they tried to charge me $800 in labor alone. Absolutely outrageous. I took my car to a trusted mechanic in Belmont who actually knows what they're doing they quoted me $200-$400 MAX for the exact same job. That tells you everything you need to know. This is not the first time this place has tried to pull something like this on me. The pricing feels dishonest, the service is terrible, and the workmanship is questionable at best. I have zero trust in this shop. Save yourself the headache, the stress, and the money. STAY FAR AWAY from this place.

Alas, I have found a new mechanic! Apparently, traveling to and fro in my Camry, I've racked up…read more238k miles. I started to notice a "whump, whump" sound coming from my front tire. While providing a constant beat to drive to (and practice freestyle rapping) is was irritating as hell! I took it to another shop and they told me the tie-rods (?) were bad...had them replaced... WHUMP WHUMP! Went back and had new struts put on... WHUMP WHUMP! DAYUM! Finally something kicked in and I decided to find a local reputable company and I really hit the jackpot with Darrell's. Here's why: 1) I found them online and they had great reviews. We all know the power of a good review from happy customers! 2) After I performed my freestyle rap of what was wrong with the car, the owner Terry said "Okay, let's go drive it." What?!? I didn't realize that the other place never drove my car!! I was thrilled! 3) The diagnosis and suggested repair conversations were amazing! It was like a medical diagnosis from a really compassionate doctor. Even with the unexpected additional service I needed to get my car in tip-top shape, never once did I feel like I was being lied to or taken advantage of. I'm really looking forward to a long vehicular relationship with this garage! Now to go drop this rap album! First single, "Do da Whump, Whump!"

Rented a car and came back to Darrell's at 8am and explained my symptoms. They knew exactly what it was likely to be (a suspension problem). I asked if it could be fixed on Friday so I could drive home. They did! And washed and detailed the car so when I picked it up Friday at 2:30 we could hit the road home confidently. Car handled perfectly. The repair was very reasonable. Great job by everyone at Darrell's. Highly recommended!

I would not have needed a 3rd trip at all if they had done the job right on the second trip . If that's how a tire inspection is done then I can't imagine inspecting anything else here ! I was told "we can't keep rotating your tires for free" I wouldnt need the original rotation done if they had inspected the tires properly as I had asked! I can see why they have a 2.5 rating on here I wont be back
