First Choice and Best Choice
Only place I go now for the last several years.
They fix it right the first time and without trying to drain you bank account dry.

Car won’t start…
As always, Dinkins quickly diagnosed the problem and advised me of a solution. I was so happy to hear that it could be repaired and ready to go today. This is the second time I have had work done at Dinkins in the past few years. I would recommend them highly.
