So far so good! Great service on my sons vehicle with fair pricing and reasonable turnaround. We would definitely use them again.

Terrible customer service. Workers with terrible attitudes. I would not recommend anybody to go there again. I am a 19 year old kid and the worker just flat out disrespected me. Very out of pocket and one of the workers could tell he was. Dont have names. The white hair guy hurt my feelings with disrespect when other guy was just trying to help me.

They could not take even 5 minutes to simply test our alternator just to see if it was the problem so we could get the part and fix it ourselves. They were willing to leave people stranded out of state without the means to have a place to stay and charge us everything we had making sure that we wouldnt have made it home. Thank god for Midas

These guys are honest, fast, and best pricing. My charger sat for 8 months and was having some electrical issues (of course) and the team did a phenomenal job getting her back up and running like brand new.

We lost our trailer on behalf of negligence of the Uhaul around the corner. Michael came out to assist us and asked nothing in return. His actions reflect a trustworthy shop I would recommend to anyone

My brother has been coming to see Mike for some time so I was there with a suspension problem, especially because he is so close to where I live. The reviews speak for themselves! A previous shop had quoted me $900 for new front struts. Not only did he quote me about $300 less for the same repair, but he properly diagnosed that all I needed were control arm links, a grand total of $225! I cant begin to imagine what would have happened if I had paid the previous shop $900 for something that wasnt even a problem. True experts speak for themselves, I would recommend Ds to anyone for an honest assessment and pricing!

Mike did a great job diagnosing my cars issue and getting it repaired all in one afternoon. And that’s with him having to go pick up a part elsewhere. Great customer service.

I called Ds Automotive that morning to explain my Starter went out on my 2006 Honda Element, he was very helpful, when I called he provided me with a tow company that could bring my car to him, and explained that he would have my car complete by the end of the day, I was hesitant as this was a holiday as well, around 5:30pm I got a call my car repair was complete and I could come pick up my car. I am very pleased and happy with his service and he was excellent and explaining what he had done and if any issues that he saw in the process of the repair that was complete. I would recommend this repair shop to anyone and will use him in future if needed. Thanks !!!!

Brought two cars here on separate occasions, and both times all the guy could do was shrug his shoulders and tell me he couldnt find anything wrong with it. Granted, he didnt charge anything for the second car, but its frustrating when you take a car to a mechanic and he has no answers.

We were in town for my brothers graduation from Fort Jackson. 5 hours from home and having car trouble, I turn to Google for help. Based on reviews and location we decided to give them a call. They said bring it in we ll take a look. The man took a ride came back about 20 mins later and said nothing happened. These guys knew we were from out of town and could have picked that old van apart piece by piece and charged us an arm and a leg. Instead they charged us nothing and said if it starts acting up again just bring it on back. Honesty and integrity goes a long way. I am totally impressed with these guys and highly recommend them for anyone who finds themselves in my situation. We made it home yesterday without any trouble at all. We still dont know what was wrong with it but we arent broke!!

My Hyundai Sonata needed a new fuel pump and I spoke to Dwayne on the phone about the parts and labor. He was extremely helpful in providing me a quote. I will certainly have future servicing done here given the great customer service!

Ive been here a few times & at the end of the day the owner seems to be a good guy..Wht i needed was a mechanic that would be straight with me no matter wht accidentally happened to my vehicle while @ the shop;or maybe even attempt to fix unsuccessfully.Basically need a diagnosis on ABS system.Either way my most recent experience cost me NO MONEY because i the my ABS system couldnt be fixed there because my vehicle was too current;found this out after my vehicle had been there half the day..This same experience could have cost me my LIFE because something was different about my brakes when i was driving.I almost couldnt stop my vehicle @ the next light after picking it up after hrs on a Friday from this shop..Took it back Mon still no answers to what happened..Took it to some else,they bled my brakes & magic,they work fine.Yes is still need diagnosis test but i can STOP.Moral of the long story is I was told nothing was done to my vehicle @ this shop when obviously something was done & I dont know who did it but it will be the last time i can trust to have work done here.

Ds automotive has fast and friendly service, and they will tell you if your car issue is simple and able to be resolved outside of the shop. They are honest and dont try to push you into some expensive fix that you dont need or can do yourself.

Ive never been so impressed! Mike, Dwayne, and the whole team at Ds were absolute lifesavers for us! My boyfriend drove to SC from Wisconsin for military ordres (15 hours away) to have his car breakdown. While he was unable to communicate while on base from 530am-600pm, I was able to coordinate repairs over the phone with the most understanding and wonderful staff Ive ever worked with! We were quoted $6,000 at a Chevy dealership, but everything at Ds cost less than $2,000!! Mike even stayed late at the shop so my boyfriend could get his car after being released in the evening! Angels. I have no idea what we would have done without their help. VERY highly recommended!!

Went in for a diagnostic and got nothing but an attitude from the mechanic. Was so told that they would shoot compressed air into the vents to try to clear out a clog, but instead all they did was pour water in the drain. Didn’t attempt to clean it up and said “you gotta take it to a body shop”. Horrible customer service and a sorry mechanic.

Great service had a great time the team was very nice and explained everything down to the T. Did not take very long, not cheap service, or costly but good service none the less. went in for a belt change and tension inspection on1998 ford taurus just needed the belt right at 100 buck service time was a hours plus but it was worth the time because afterwards he explained the part and how the entire system works to me and it was very helpful. i given sound advice on future car problems, im never dealing with shady tree mechanics again they told me my tension and pulleys where bad but D automotive told me real problem and fixed it for much cheaper it was jus the belt.
