These guys go above and beyond, have fair prices and most of all work hard to make sure your vehicle keeps working. They are trust worthy and only advertise by word of mouth

The guys at Certified saved me a nice chunk of change today. They could have easily taken the money I was prepared to spend but instead fixed another place’s mistake. Thankful for their honesty and integrity. Will definitely be my go-to place from now on.

I can keep these guys busy, but they keep me coming back! They are a gem! Thank you Chris Jr. & all the staff. Always so great 👍🙂

Auto shops make me nervous. Go in for something simple, next your being sold on what youll need today or youll be in an accident tomorrow. But I went in for brakes, oil change, and wiper blades. Guy tells me my brakes are good for now. Where somewhere else would simply change the brakes for a quick buck. I appreciate their honesty, courtesy, and professionalism. I would recommend to anyone, and plan on coming back for the brakes when necessary.

Chris, Chuck and the guys are always on point. They hooked me up again in professional and timely manner. Good job as usual.

I have nothing but good words. Got me in Friday morning for a diagnostic got me out Friday afternoon for the weekend at a more reasonable price then I expected from a mechanic shop (I had a couple issues going on) and my baby is back in business and running smooth.

My permenant go to place for my cars. Had several issues with my GFs Ford Edge. Diagnostics for ABS / Traction lights. Replace front right axel. Replace broken body linkage and replace rear wheel bearings. Gave the ok for repairs at 1:30 PM and was picking the car up at 3:45 PM with all work completed with professionalism. Chris Jr was super friendly, informative and knowledgeable of the work to be completed and all at a very fair price. Thank You guys and will see our business in the future !

Honest, friendly, and fairly priced! Been going here for a few years now.

Didnt like the FACT that they quoted me one price in person when I dropped off the vehicle. I was charged 2-3 times more when I picked it up. Tried to bargain with them and their response was we can put the original broken part back in and call it even. My advice get your guote in writing

Best auto repair shop ever been to. These guys are very reliable, polite, personable and affordable. Explain everything before any work is done. My whole family goes there thanks to a friend who turned us on to them. We have been going for years. Chris and the Guys are Awsome. I have advised everybody I know to go to this shop. Keep up the great work fellas. Your the best!!😊

Traveling from Boston to DC, the transmission on my minivan died. Chris and his team installed a re-manufactured transmission with a 3 year warranty for a reasonable price -- I shopped around. First class service, and a pleasure to do business with.

Excellent service, affordable prices, knowledgeable staff

I took my 4runner in for 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks to be installed, And they took great care of me. I will definitely go back for all my Toyota 4Runner SR5 needs. Thanks so much!

If you are looking for honest, quality work at fair and honest prices, look no further. I can’t tell you the number of times they told me “you don’t need that” service or “you already had that done”. Chris and the crew have kept my 16 year old (280k) car running well and saved me plenty of money. Not once have I left there feeling misled or taken advantage of and other shops could stand to take a lesson from Certified Automotive in customer service and quality work. I’d give them a well-deserved “10 star” rating, if I could. Stop wasting time searching for a shop you can trust and afford and make the call.

Great customer service skills especially Chris Junior and Chris senior they are the one that I speak to all the time they have great workers their great team members great communication skills with the customers Ive been with them to three years now they are really a family business they work with you no matter what the situation is great networking I will refer this place to anyone prices are good and adjustable within your range and understanding that you have a family also to take care of I respect them 100% and their jobs on cars never had a problem never had to return back for any problem with my vehicles and I have three different vehicles and they took care of all three different vehicles.

We have been customers here for 14 years. This mechanic business is honest,fair, reasonably priced,& dependable. Plus, everyone is friendly. We were referred here by neighbors and would highly recommend them for any of ur car repair or maintenance needs.

I needed to get work done on my car and needed something convenient to where I work. I found Certified Automotive via a Google search and took my car there today. I could not have been more pleased with my experience from the time I called to schedule, to drop off and pickup these guys are doing it right.As soon as I walked in to drop off my vehicle I was greeted pleasantly as opposed to so many other automotive locations where the office is not given a 2nd thought. Shortly after drop off I heard from the mechanic who went over what they found and even explained why I didnt need some of the work I thought was due for my vehicle at this time rather than billing me for unnecessary work. The bill was quite reasonable and the car was ready quickly, not much more I could have asked for.If you are looking for a mechanic in the area do yourself a favor and give them a chance, I dont think you will be disappointed.

Great service and trustworthy staff. Twice I have requested services and they told me I didn’t need them yet, or explained a less expensive alternative that produced the same results. I’m not accustomed to garages actively trying to save me money, and because of that and that I have never had one single complaint of a repair they have done, I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else. In top of that, they treat you like a human being. They don’t talk down to you, and appreciate your business. They have treated my family well for quite some time. It’s great to have peace of mind when it comes to auto repair.

Ive been taking my car here for service for at least a decade because they are thorough and honest. They explain what I really need and what can wait. Fair prices, nice waiting area. Great family business, good people.

They are honest in have integrity and dont try to rip people off and do quality work

It was nice and pleasant

To everyone who chooses to bring there vehicles to Certified Automotive Inc for their tires & service needs for the past 25 years ( THANK YOU SO MUCH WE TRUELY APPRECIATE YOU SUPPORTING OUR FAMILY OWED BUSINESS ) and more to those who actually take the time out, and write in to share thoughts with others . To Mr. F. Wrong and Mr. H. Batista I dont show either of these names as ever having service here additional we dont sell carry out parts (especially engines!).

I just met them. Had my car there 2 weeks ago and loved everything about them. I am so sorry for the losd of Chris Sr. A very nice man

Great customer service, worked faster then they quoted me and never does anything you don’t need.

Honest guys. Fare prices

I’ve been taking my vehicles here for years. They are always quick, polite, and extremely helpful. They take the time to break down the costs so you don’t feel like you’re getting cheated. They just repaired my vehicle for $250 less than what the dealer wanted. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else!

I had a great experience at Certified Automotive! Chris and the team were friendly and helpful. They took care of everything quickly and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be going back the next time I have car trouble.

My dad has been going here for years, and since i have owned my own i have been doing the same. Service is wonderful and communicative

The mechanics here are very knowledgeable about what they are doing about the cars. I would definitely recommend them for service on your vehicle. I know Ill be back.Perfect!!

Received great service today from Chris and the team. Brought my car in this morning w/o an appointment and they were able to fix my issue for a very reasonable price in 3 short hours. Thanks so much guys!

The prices I was quoted at the dealership to fix my car were extremely high. A friend highly recommended that I give Certified Automotive a call. I spoke with Rob there who was friendly & extremely helpful! They arranged to have my car towed around noon & had it repaired that afternoon; for a much more reasonable price! After my Great experience with them, I will Definitely be using them for any future car repairs I have. I recommend them to anyone needing car repairs, Im sure you will feel as comfortable as I did knowing they charge a fair price for Quality work.Thanks guys your the BEST!!!

Very caring and knowledgeable mechanic crew. It’s not about making money but the safety and the practicality of their customers. It’s the shop you trust over the dealerships and the shop that won’t empty your pockets. They involve you in the service of your car and inform you with every move! THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST AROUND!!! I trust nobody else with my vehicle.

Extremely pleased with their professional service and honesty. I highly recommend these guys!!! I will definitely be using them from now on.

Chuck and Chris are the best auto mechanics in the state. I had a battery leak which did incredible destruction to my vans wires. Chuck and Chris explained the costs and spent several days fixing the van. After the work was done my bill was about $700.00 and I didnt have all the money just yet and they let me take my van and come back and paid them when I had it. Great guys and you can trust them.

Great service. Honest and informative. Always leave knowing the right job was done for a reasonable price.

These Mechanics Are Top Notched! Courteous, Polite & Know Everything There Is To Know About Fixing Automobiles. Ive Had Several Different Repairs To My Vehicle Within The Last 2 Years By Certified. My Mother, Siblings & Some Friends Continually Do Their Business With Certified Automotive, Because They Are The Best With Their Estimates, Final Expenses Out Of Pocket & Expertise!

I took my vehicle in for work and i put a bad review up because i thought something was done wrong but when the establishment contacted me i did not give them a chance to make it right and i was wrong for that, long story short i bought a new car and brought it into them for work because my family lives by this establishment. We talked about the review and i was wrong so the company fixed my car a 2003 ford taurus and it runs like it is brand new. Not only did they still fix my car and help me out after i gave them a bad review but they even gave me a discount and helped me out financially where they could. Thank you very much for fixing my familys cars because we are all happy with your work!

Chris and his team are very quick and reasonable. I take my personal vehicles as well as my work vans/trucks. They realize as a contractor that when my vehicles are down Im losing money and work hard to get me back out as soon as possible and that typically faster than I anticipate.

LOVE Certified Automotive! We have been taking our cars to Certified for 14 years and recommend them to everyone we know. We have always been able to schedule at our convenience and they are quick to contact us with results of an inspection or issue. Great prices and great people!

Professional, personal and affordable. Love these guys!

A bit pricey, but these folk are good. Worth the extra bit.

History ... Warm ... Friendly .... Honest & Reasonable. A List Here!!!

Certified Automotive is the best place for car repairs, both minor and major and regular maintenance too. Ive been going to them now for almost 7 years and wont go anywhere else. Besides being true professionals, they are very honest with you. I once thought I had to have my steering rack replaced, and I told them this. But, they were able to do some minor work on the steering rack to the tune of $68.00 and the car has been fine. A steering rack is a very expensive repair/replacement! They work on my company car as well as my personal cars and its always been a very good experience. I trust them to give me an honest assessment of the work that has to be done. I cannot say the same about the dealership I used to go to. Certified has obviously learned what capitalism means......the best survive because the market determines the winners. Certified is a winner.

If your looking for wonderful and quick service this is the place to go. Chris as well as other mechanics were extremely knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend this place and will become a repeat customer in the future!

I have been a loyal customer of Chris & Chucks for half my life ! My dad trusted them with all our household vehicles and we referred anyone who needed a trustworthy mechanic. To this day, I trust no one but Certified and their crew to handle my vehicle maintenance needs. They really do treat me and my family like a part of their family. They have never steered me wrong nor have I ever felt taken advantage of as a woman, as I do not have a clue about cars except how to put it in gear and drive it ! I am always on a budget and I love that they are always honest as to what maintenance my car needs and what can wait, so that I have time to plan my finances for the bigger services. Their pricing is definitely fair for the high quality of service you get, but their customer service is invaluable !

The service was great. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and honest. I was able to compare with other area auto shops and this was the best.

Will not go back and wouldnt recommend anyone to go there either...

I have been going to Chris for over eight years, he is honest, quick and reliable, this shop has provided exceptionally good work and I have recommended him to many and all are always very happy, they explain everything and always offer an honest assessment and a very fair price. I cant thank him enough for the wonderful work that he and his crew have provided over the years.

Ive had many issues with my windows going down in my nissan altima. I even took it to Nissan to get them fixed. They claimed nothing was wrong with them. Certified Automotive fixed them within a few hours. THANK YOU

Chris, Matt and the staff mechanics extraordinaire at Certified Automotive Inc., are the best automotive facility in DELAWARE and in my mind the best in the nation!They provide not only exceptional service and expertise, but a safe, non intimidating, welcoming atmosphere for us women who have limited automotive knowledge and rely on the honesty of those we entrust our vehicle to.I started bringing my car to them and then suggested my mother bring her older vehicle inherited from my grandmother that had numerous wiring and repair issues from previous botched work. My 60 + yr old mother loves going to the shop, knowing they will give her the best option available, prolong the life of the vehicle, give her suggestions to decrease the need for repairs and will work on her vehicle without judgement and are relentless in locating the problem to ensure the safety and comfort of those riding in the vehicles.Chris, Matt and the staff never inflate their labor costs or the price of parts needed. They try to keep costs to a minimum if at all possible and they will work with you about the priority of the repairs if unexpected costs do arise. We have never experienced a quality company like Certified Automotive and we will continue to bring our vehicles, and encourage co-workers, friends, and family to also experience the magic once you walk through those doors. Amazing proprietors, amazing staff mechanics, amazing ethics and amazing service.

Everyone there is straightforward and friendly, Chris is a great guy and knows what he is doing. Dont trust Lou too much, hes just the computer and phone guy. Does not work on cars

Very good place have dealt with them for years

Couldnt have possibly been better. I had an emergency situation with a damaged and leaking brake-line. Even though they were very busy they squeezed me in. I had only been to Certified Automotive once before and that experience was very good also. They are professional, accommodating and at both visits they were finished before the time given and under estimated cost. I have finally found people who I can trust with my vehicles. Thanks Chris & Lou, and thanks to all the mechanics, youre the best.

Very friendly and quick service. My car has never been in the shop for more than 2 days. Customer service knowledge and helpfulness is great. I know my car is being care for!

Only shop I use! Treated like family every visit. Service is always great and they can always get me in when I need to be seen.

Ive been taking my cars (a Honda Civic, 2 Ford Escapes, and now a Nissan Pathfinder) to Certified for almost 20 years. The service is always perfect and Chris and his staff are the most honest people Ive ever worked with in the auto industry. Ill keep going there for many years to come. Thanks, guys!

Certified Automative Inc was highly recommended by a close friend and I couldnt be happier with the referral! They listened to my problem, trouble shooted and gave me an honest estimate. They diagnosed and fixed a steering pump failure within the day. Theyre honest and provide great customer service. Top Notch!

The absolute best around!

These guys are great! Very honest, helpful & respectful. Its a pleasure doing business with them!!!

Great experience, the real deal. Love Chris, Matt, and the whole team!

Awesome, honest, and caring...It is rare these days to find services that genuinely care about you as a customer, not just after your money...They always go the extra mile when looking at the car

Chris and the guys are great! Great service!

Very nice and honest great prices and very informative

Colleen is very helpful
