Celebrating 36 Years as Providers of Full-Service Auto Repair to the Delaware Valley

November 1, 2022

Since 1986, we have provided northern Delaware and the surrounding region with high quality, full-service automotive repair and maintenance services. During these 36 years, we opened five stores in Delaware and Pennsylvania, with plans for future expansion. We have three stores in Delaware—Hockessin, Wilmington, and Pike Creek—and two stores in Pennsylvania—Kennett Square and Swarthmore. Our Swarthmore store is slated to open soon by the end of 2022!


Our full-service repair services extend to Brake, Electrical, Battery, Steering and Suspension, Transmission, Preventative Maintenance, Radiator, Fuel System, Tires, Coolant System, and EVAP and Emissions Services. We service most makes and models, including Domestic, Asian, European, Standard, Hybrid, and Electric vehicles. Currently, we do not provide service for vehicles manufactured before 1996. Our team of ASE-certified technicians come with years of experience and training, which we also provide through our in-house trainers. 


We strive to go above and beyond not only with our auto repair services, but in our customer service as well. Our shuttle and loaner vehicle services allow you to proceed with your day without the interruption of getting your vehicle serviced. For customers who decide to wait in-store, we offer comfortable seating and complimentary wifi and coffee. If you’re looking for auto repair financing, we offer third party payment plans. For your convenience, we provide a courtesy digital inspection or “health check” each time you bring your car in. 


If you’re looking for auto repair or maintenance services, we are here to help you! Contact us at any of our locations or schedule an appointment here.
