Always friendly, always on time, I never worry about being given bad information. Our entire family has their cars serviced here and we are all very satisfied. Thank you to Brian and the entire staff.

Last minute need to check out a car I was buying for my daughter - Brian was able to get me same day (I only had the car for 3 hours) they checked it out for me, gave me a list of what I needed to get fixed. It just made me feel so much better about buying the car. Thank you guys so much, exceptional service!

Been going here for the past 5 years and bring all of my cars even though I’ve moved further away. Always satisfied!

Very courteous, honest and knowledgeable. I appreciated that they actually could work on a classic Hot rod vehicle. Not too many shops are interested in working on older cars these days. Thanks Drive Auto Care!

Richard R.

I would definately reccommend this place to anyone who needs work done on their car

First time customer - Excellent service at a fair price.

They got my 12 year old car to pass its biennial smog test on the first try. That meant a lot to me because 2 years ago it failed repeatedly until Drive Auto made the fixes it needed. The fixes held for 2 years and now I've got 2 more years to squeeze out of the old car until the next test. Sean and crew are superior to all competitors!
