Drake Garage

I have been looking for a new auto mechanic and several people recommend recommended the Drake Garage. I told him that my vehicle needed an oil change and was just passed the 80,000 mile mark so it would probably need some maintenance. They recommended that I get the oil change and pay a nominal fee for a very thorough inspection. I was a little worried that they may not have been sophisticated enough compared to the dealer I used to go to, but I did not have worried. They gave me a very detailed inspection That was easily Accessible electronically and even included some pictures. The biggest surprise was, they did not recommend any maintenance at this time. That never happens. They did let me know some areas that may need attention at the 100,000 mile mark. Would be to say, this has never been my experience in the past. Where I used to take my car for an oil change - there was always extra repairs/maintenance recommended - Along with significant cost. On average I spent about $1000 every time I got an oil change with extra repair repairs and maintenance. I am pleased to say I now have a new auto mechanic and will use the Drake Garage going forward.

I called and set an appointment for my college age son’s vehicle. They text me estimates along with a priority level of the repairs. I was able to confirm all repairs by text. They continued to text me updates as the vehicle was fixed. They also sent me the invoice and I was able to pay online-very convenient for the out of state parent. They called and set things up to make it possible for him to pick his vehicle up after hours as he had class/practice the day it was finished. Everything was repaired in a timely manner and done for the estimated cost. Appreciated them making it easy!

Drake garage is the best. Very fair prices, and amazing service. I've been taking my cars there for years for annual maintenance, and surprise issues, and they are always so accommodating. Just a few weeks ago I got a nail in my tire and they were able to get me in and repair the same day. The staff is extremely friendly, and their rating system for reporting what they find helps me plan for future possible repairs without any pressure. I love having them in the neighborhood.
