I've been going to Dere for 12 years, no significant complaints.

Really good, reliable work. Sometimes, they can be a bit busy and cranky, but I still like them!

Consumer from Seattle, WA

I have entrusted my various cars for regular service to this business for 20+ years. I find them so trustworthy, that when I needed to buy a new used car, I made sure I bought a brand that they would be able to work on. I find their prices very reasonable. They always do a safety check when I bring it in for regular service. And they back their work. Recently when I asked them to check for a wobble when I braked at high speeds, they replaced the front brake rotors. When I was still getting a wobble, although somewhat less, they replaced them again at no charge. Problem was fixed. I find them very reliable and competent.
