Paul Campanella's Auto Centers - Hockessin

I recently brought my car to Paul Campanella’s Auto Center in Hockessin, and I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. From beginning to end, the professionalism, communication, and genuine care shown by this team made a lasting impression on me. I had recently taken my car to the dealership for an oil change, where I was told that my rear subframe was rusted and that I needed an axle seal replaced. Wanting a second opinion on the subframe, I decided to bring my car to Campanella’s to have the axle seal addressed and get their assessment of the situation. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and confident I was in good hands. My service advisor, Audrea, was fantastic, but I also want to recognize Jake and Tariq, who took the time to greet me and make me feel comfortable. It's refreshing to walk into a business where you immediately get the sense that everyone is working together and genuinely cares about the customer. They also worked with my aftermarket warranty provider, CarShield, and I cannot say enough about the communication throughout the entire process. I was kept informed, my questions were addressed, and I always felt that my vehicle and my concerns were being taken seriously. That level of communication and attention to detail is something I truly appreciate and don't take for granted. What stood out most to me was that this wasn't just about getting my car repaired. It was about the people, the professionalism, the knowledge, and the confidence they gave me throughout the experience. I walked in looking for a repair and a second opinion, and I walked out knowing I had found a team I could trust. Audrea, Jake, Tariq, the mechanic who worked on my car, and the entire Campanella's team deserve a sincere thank-you. You have earned my trust and my future business. I will absolutely be returning whenever my car needs attention. If you're looking for an auto repair shop where you feel respected, informed, and confident that your vehicle is in good hands, I highly recommend Paul Campanella's Auto Center in Hockessin. They truly set the bar high!

Hi Hunter, WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such an incredible and thoughtful review! Your kind words truly mean the world to our entire Hockessin team. We know how important it is to find an automotive repair shop you can genuinely trust, especially when you're seeking a second opinion after receiving some concerning news about your vehicle. We're incredibly grateful that you chose to give us that opportunity, and even more grateful that we were able to make such a lasting impression. We're especially happy to hear that Audrea, Jake, and Tariq made you feel welcomed, comfortable, and confident from the moment you walked through our doors. The fact that you noticed how well our team works together means so much to us. We'll absolutely make sure all three of them, along with the technician who worked on your vehicle, see your wonderful feedback! We're also glad our team was able to assist with your CarShield warranty and keep you informed throughout the entire process. We understand how overwhelming automotive repairs can sometimes feel, particularly when warranty companies are involved. We believe our customers deserve clear communication, honest recommendations, and the confidence of knowing that someone is genuinely looking out for their best interests. But Hunter, what stands out most to us about your review is something you said: you walked in looking for a repair and a second opinion, and walked out knowing you had found a team you could trust. That is exactly why we do what we do. As a family-owned business, we've always believed that our responsibility goes far beyond repairing vehicles. It's about building relationships, listening to people's concerns, treating everyone with respect, and doing what's right even when no one is watching.

Your appreciation for their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care will mean more to them than you know. We're honored to have earned your trust and future business, and we don't take that responsibility lightly. From all of us at Paul Campanella's Auto Centers in Hockessin, thank you for giving us the opportunity to welcome you into our family.

My glove compartment would not close and I called Paul campanellas auto to check itnout for me. They were able to see me in like 9 minutes after I called. Turns out my filter was blocking the drawer. One of the worker fixed it for me and I was good to go. The staff seems very cordial and attentive to their customer. Will.be returning for future work.on my vehicle. Thanks guys.

Hi Ranza, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so glad you gave our team a call and that we were able to get you in so quickly! Sometimes the smallest issues, like a glove compartment that just won't close, can be surprisingly frustrating. We're happy our team was able to identify that the cabin air filter was causing the problem, make a quick adjustment, and get everything working properly again! We're especially grateful for your kind words about our staff. We believe great customer service isn't always about major repairs. Sometimes it's simply about being available, listening to someone's concerns, and taking a few minutes to make their day a little easier. Hearing that our team was cordial, attentive, and made you feel well taken care of means so much to us. As a family-owned business, those personal interactions are exactly what we want every customer to experience when they walk through our doors.

I need exhaust repair as the tailpipe on my 2021 Toyota Tundra has rusted through and broken off from the muffler. I called and spoke to Jake who then took me in without an appointmend to inspect the issue. Instead of them doing an extensive and preumably expense repair Jake recommended two local (DE) exhaust repair shops that could do the job better and at less cost than even he could. Thank you Jake for your honesty and speed of diagnosis.

Hi Penn FTC, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! We're incredibly grateful that you gave our team the opportunity to take a look at your Toyota Tundra, and we're especially happy to hear that Jake made such a positive impression! We know how frustrating it can be to discover an unexpected exhaust issue, especially when you're unsure how extensive or expensive the repair might be. We're glad Jake was able to accommodate you without an appointment, quickly assess the situation, and point you toward local exhaust specialists who could provide the repair at a better value. We firmly believe that earning someone's trust is far more important than making a sale. Sometimes doing what's right for our customers means recommending another business that's better equipped to handle a particular repair. That's not a missed opportunity in our eyes; that's simply the kind of honest, customer-first service we believe everyone deserves. We'll absolutely make sure Jake sees your kind words. His willingness to take the time to help you find the best solution, even when that solution was somewhere else, is exactly the kind of integrity we're proud to have on our team. Thank you for trusting Paul Campanella's Auto Centers, Penn. We truly appreciate your recognition of Jake's honesty and professionalism, and we hope you'll keep us in mind for any future automotive maintenance or repair needs! — The Paul Campanella's Auto Centers Team
