We’ll keep the magic of our service station under wraps while we continue to help out vehicles, one oil change at a time!

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.
