David is super smart; the amount of information in his head is tremendous. He is a good detective and doesn’t oversell.

I went to DP after I got an insane quote from a dealership. DP told me what really needed to be done and what could wait. I wound up spending about 1/10 of what the dealer advised me to spend. They do excellent work.

Consumer from WASHINGTON, DC

They are very popular, for good reason. My appointment was on time, the car was ready when they said it would be. They did what was needed for safety, comfort and reliability and did not do what was not needed, because they could have done a lot more work and I wouldn't know the difference - it's an old car, things go wrong. The people here are competent, conscientious, skilled and honest.
