DW Auto Service

I went here to get my inspection sticker and was told that I couldn’t get it because I had a violation. I immediately left there and went to another inspection dealer that same day. They went and inspected my car and said that I had no violations of any kind. I passed and got my sticker. So I don’t know what they were talking about @ DW. Maybe they thought I’d say ok fix it but I didn’t I said ok by and went elsewhere.

Went for a simple State Inspection. The guy was really efficient, to an extreme. No time for chit chat. As in he’ll literally walk away from you if you try to make too much small talk. Or hang up the phone immediately after giving you the info you asked for. Obviously understandable as he seemed to have his hands full with business (not just inspections). Seemed friendly to his regulars I saw walk in and out.

He is very quick and seems fair, and will offer options if you don’t want to do the perfect but expensive fix. He doesn’t speak great English to offer long explanations, but does communicates what needs to be communicated. Highly recommended especially for not so new cars.

This guy is amazing, I can not say enough good things about him. He’s fast, prices are more than fair, there’s always a long line because everyone goes to him, when he fixes something it stays fixed, I’ve been going here for years and he’s the most honest mechanic I’ve found.
He’s Asian, very blunt, but I’d rather hear, «This is the problem, I can do this for xx or this for xx, either will be done by 5 p.m.» and have it fixed correctly, than have someone yank my chain and politely overcharge me with a smile.
I’ve recommended him to many people, everyone’s been happy and go back, what more can you ask for in a mechanic?

I only came here twice: first for my CV axle that needed to be replaced and second for a price quote for my leaking radiator. I am skeptical about this guy who owns the place. If you don’t have tough skin, he could be an unpleasant guy to deal with.
The two times I’ve been here he told me that if you go to other places, they either suck or sell bad parts (e.g. AutoZone or Firestone Tires). Not exaggerating, those are his exact words lol. I have a hunch that the same parts he says are sucky are the same parts he buys and actually uses himself, just by looking around his shop. I asked him if I buy the radiator part, could he replace it for me. He said no in a unwelcoming tone. I can’t say this with 100% confident but I speculate that he will not do your repair unless you buy the parts through him (because he charges a higher price to pocket for exact parts you can buy for cheaper). But he was manageable to deal with the first time I came here for my axle. He was kind enough to take a piece of dirt out of my exhaust because it was making a small noise. Probably took him like 5 minutes to do that, at least he didn’t lie to me and try to charge me extra.
The guy did my radiator and lost the metal screws to fasten it down securely so he used plastic restraints to finish the job. He couldn’t take 10 – 20 minutes to go buy some metal screws worth 50 cents to finish the job honestly. What an a-​o.
I don’t know about this guy whether he’s honest or not. I guess you guys just have to go there and interact with this man yourself and come up with your own conclusions.
