Quick and efficient service
Call Duncan the evening before because of a water break in the radiator system. Took the car to them in the evening and a new radiator was installed the next day. Very quick and efficient service.

First Experience Great
Spoke late on Friday. Dropped on Sunday.
Quoted early Monday, approves late Monday and finished on Tuesday by EOB.
Starter on Sequoia so a pain, but performs quick and at price they stated.
Was looking for a new shop and found one. Thanks Dinkins…
Joe D. from Dinkins Auto Service responded on 03/12/2025 05:29 AM

We're glad to hear you found a new home for your automotive needs! It sounds like your Sequoia may have been a bit of a drama queen with its starter, but we're relieved that we could get it sorted efficiently and without any surprise plot twists on the price. If your vehicle ever decides to throw more surprise performances our way, we'll be ready with popcorn and tools in hand!

Definitely would recommend
I took my vehicle in and they were able to get the parts needed and repair my car in 1 day. They were very nice and respectful and explained what they were going to do thoroughly before doing it. They were reasonably priced and I didn't feel like i was getting taken advantage of.

Very prompt, honest, and they get the job done.
I have had problems with my son's truck for years. I first took it to Dinkin's Auto when my son's truck wasn't running in November 2024. Problems solved and vehicle running. My son had problems again in February 2025. We took it to Dinkin's auto service at 7:45am on Tuesday February 25th. They called me at 9:30 and told me his oil was very low and dirty. They said they would change it and check other fluids and that might solve the problems. They called around lunch and told me to come get the car it was running ok. Very reasonable on price. My son called me later and said the truck was running a lot better. Thanks Dinkin's Auto Service!
Joe D. from Dinkins Auto Service responded on 02/26/2025 09:25 AM

We appreciate your glowing review and are glad to hear that we could get your son's truck back on the road where it belongs. It sounds like that truck has had more ups and downs than a roller coaster, but we’re delighted to have played a part in smoothing out the ride. Nothing like a little oil change magic to work wonders! We're always here to help keep things running smoothly, or at least as smooth as a truck can get while dodging potholes. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we look forward to tackling any future vehicular adventures together.
