In 1976, Dave Aloisio’s vision to have his own business was realized when the doors opened to his one-man automotive repair shop on Gay Street in West Chester.

Repairing cars and rebuilding engines alone, the business grew quickly and a need for employees and more space was necessary. Today, along with his son Jonathan and daughter Laura, this family-owned and operated business located on the corner of Bolmar and Union Streets, employs 8 full-time employees and services over 550 cars a month.

The recent addition of a Hunter Alignment Machine gives our technicians the ability to address steering and suspension issues precisely and offers customers peace of mind that any misalignment concern has been corrected and premature wear to tires and components has been avoided.

We pride ourselves on personal service and customer satisfaction. From oil changes to complete engine overhauls our skilled technicians are versed in all types of diagnostic and automotive repair.

Vehicle inspection
Wanted to buy a used car and no nothing about cars so I called DARE. They did a thorough inspection and sent the results to my phone within minutes of completion. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Everything was fine, but where did you put my keys?
Repair was good, I was pleased with everything, but my keys were put in my car and I have no idea where you guys put it. I’ve searched the car thoroughly and still haven’t been able to find it

Plug tire and check engine light
Have to say we are impressed and if we went to Firestone who we usually went to would have been charged for the engine diagnostic. And almost always make us buy a new tire instead of plugging leak. We will not be going back to Firestone and will make Dave’s our new repair center!

Great service
My car broke down, I had no idea where to have it taken to- the tow truck driver( Hunter from West End Towing) suggested Dave’s. It was towed there, they diagnosed the issue, called me confirm service and price and was fixed within hours. I will definitely return when I need work done.

Easy and Very knowledgeable
I couldn’t be happier. I had car towed there. They looked at it right away diagnosed the problem gave me an estimate and fixed. They also gave me a list of other things that should be fixed after looking over vehicle. All this without ever meeting them. I would say they are very honest.

It is so great to have a place like D.A.R.E. That you can trust and rely on. Great people (Laura, JT, Don, Jonathan) and the entire crew. Won’t go anywhere else.
