- GOGokhan OlmazDec 19, 20255.0I came in for an ID/OD inspection. They gave me an appointment within an hour, and the whole process took about 5 minutes. The front desk staff was very helpful and professional. Fast, efficient service—highly recommend.
- THTom HighlandDec 19, 20255.0My first encounter with Derek was nearly 20 years ago. The part that was needed was purchased from a Honda Dealer and Derek’s comment was “the price for this part is too high-I can’t charge you that much”. That started a relationship which lasted through 4 locations. What a guy!

- LKLeslie KendallNov 25, 20255.0Dereks Automotive is one of the most honest Automotive places I have been in my life. I have been with them now for 10+ years. I appreciate their ability to not take advantage of a woman who might not know auto mechanics. They are so honest in their evaluations, it’s rare to find. I highly recommend them.
