Definitely shady. I had one issue. I was constantly in and out of this place for a while and sank thousands of $$ trying to fix this one issue. Finally got fed up and took my car into a legit auto business who fixed my car fast, easily, and at a fraction of the cost. That’s when I realized the guys at Dan’s jerked me around for $$ since I didn’t have much car knowledge. That, or they didn’t really know what was wrong with my car themselves and tried a bunch of different things at my expense. Please stay away and seek better service. These guys are pretty rude too.

They keep your vehicle for months.

This business is basically a tiny parking lot that is overflowing with junk cars. They don’t even have enough room to work on their cars and so often they work on their cars out on the street and will often park their cars overnight on random city/residential streets. Definitely sketchy…would not leave my car with them.

Came after work and a little before they closed up the shop but they took me in for a car maintenance; nevertheless, Dan kept me in the loop and it was a smooth first-time experience. Like many others, a friend of mine recommended me to stop by this shop. I would come here again & recommend to anyone interested in getting their car fixed or for maintenance. Thank you Dan!

Great place. Lot looks full, but you just pull in like any other shop. Call ahead to schedule. The owner explains things clearly and simply. Made a point to educate in a positive fashion. I will definitely be coming back in the future. Obviously one of those places that prizes creating new and long lasting customers over temporary profit. The look of the shop reminds me of the small places where I grew up. Busy because they do good work and have a dedicated clientele. There is no better sign of a good mechanic.

Great service. Dan talked to me about my vehicle, did not want to do anything unnecessary. I appreciate the education and the service. Was recommended by someone that takes vehicle here rather than dealership. Will come to Dan V again for sure.

I had a persistent check engine lite on my 2012 Ford Fiesta that was in the way of my smog test. I expected repairs would be around $600. I took it to Dan V and they suggested a simpler, less expensive repair. They said, try this, drive it a few days, and if it fails, bring it back for the more expensive repair. It never failed, I passed my smog test, and the repair cost $150, including an oil change.

My parents and I have entrusted our cars upkeep with Dan since his shop on Coolidge when he had just opened...1986 (around then)...never looked to anyone else. Always honest, trustworthy and gets to the point of the situation, doesn't do the quick fix!
