A+ service - top notch
Easy scheduling and smooth drop off. Very transparent and quick work of my service and multi point inspection. They send detailed photos to overview their findings and I took them up on their advice for a non-urgent item. A+!

We appreciate your feedback on our smooth process and transparency; it seems we’ve hit the maintenance jackpot together. Your A+ is the cherry on top!

DNA AUTOMOTIVE for all your maintenance and repair needs:
I like DNA Automotive, because they're honest and I support small businesses. I will go to them over Audi for any need. Audi treated me as a number. DNA, treats me with respect. They acknowledge me as a customer and they communicate with me to let me know what the problem is and what needs to be done next. Then they send me an email in detail of everything we talked about on the phone. It gives me the final cost and asks for my signature in order for them to
proceed. I appreciate that they know my car. From the first time that I dropped it off, their diagnostic tests told them everything that needs to be fixed. So, from my first visit, I've had a list to work off of. I do whatever maintenance needs to be done first. Because I don't drive that much I'm able to stretch out how often the maintenance is getting done. However, if I was a daily driver or drove miles at a time, I would have been damaged my car. I'm blessed to have DNA Automotive to rely on. Antonio is a true blessing. He continues to educate me. He also tries to help me financially. Knowing that I'm a repeat customer and that I'm not going anywhere, I feel like I receive very reasonable rates from them each time my car is serviced. It's not their fault, that I got stuck with the original maintenance for this car. If you need your car serviced I'd like to sway you to bring it to DNA Automotive. I'm sure you will become a forever customer as well. I always give them 10's. They're very meticulous and considerate of your time. You will fall in love with their services just as I have. Give DNA Automotive a chance for all of your automotive and/or your repair needs.

I have gone to DNA Automotive to get my clutch repaired and most recently to get my alternator replaced. They are reliable, professional, knowledgeable and prompt.

Thank you Jonathan for keeping me updated and thank you Manuel for all your hard work.

Trustworthy Service That Keeps You Coming Back
I’ve been a loyal client of DNA Automotive for five years now, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Every time I walk through the door, I’m immediately greeted and genuinely taken care of — it never feels rushed or transactional. Their team is always kind, professional, and makes you feel like more than just another customer.

The turnaround time for services is always fast, and on the rare occasion it’s going to take a little longer, they’re great about communicating and keeping me in the loop. I’ve never once been left wondering what’s happening with my vehicle.

Their pricing is always fair and honest — no surprise fees, no unnecessary upsells. It’s clear they value long-term relationships over quick profits. They always take a gentle, no-pressure approach when recommending repairs, explaining clearly what needs to be fixed now and what can wait. It gives me so much trust in their advice.

Even when I’m sitting in the waiting area during a service, it’s obvious they have built and kept a strong base of long-term clients. You can tell people feel comfortable here, and that says a lot about the trust they’ve earned over the years.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy shop that offers great service, good prices, and genuinely cares about their customers, you really can’t go wrong with DNA Automotive.
Your Trusted A. from DNA Automotive responded on 04/14/2025 10:34 AM
