Darryl is wonderful! He takes care of all my family's cars. He never recommends a service that is not needed. He's saved us a lot of money and extended the life of our cars with his knowledge and experience. He has always made himself available when we've needed his services. He excels in his work because he is passionate about cars. I absolutely trust him with the care of mine. read more

I looked on my local Nextdoor App and Darryl and his shop came highly recommended. It was the reviews talking about his honesty that made me go with him. Let's just say that if i could give him the highest star even that wouldn't be enough. He diagnosed the problem, fixed the vehicle. The price was fair and reasonable. I left but noticed the car still shaking when i would brake on the freeway. I called him and he was booked but was able to get me in. Turned out the rotor he received was defective. That's the honesty i had read about. He also did a couple little things for me. Today was no charge. I so appreciate him and I am selling this vehicle and definitely will take any car I am considering to him to have him tell me yea or nay on purchasing it as he is now my new mechanic. Ladies, please consider taking your car to Darryl at C & B on Roscoe in Winnetka and tell him I sent you. read more

Had an intake/vacuum issue that two other shops were not able to diagnose. Daryl was able to not only find the problem, he showed me exactly what it was and gave me a couple options for moving forward. He knows what he's doing and I felt like his rates are fair. I would absolutely bring my cars to him with confidence. read more

Can't say enough about this place. The whole experience from the beginning, speaking with Susie, to the end, picking up sparkling clean car, was terrific. Roberto is so trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly a pleasure to work with, I can't say enough good things. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS. read more

So this is the second time I've use Darryl. He came recommended from a family member and I was 100% pleased with the work he did. He got the car back to me promptly too. The first time I used him was back in Nov 2011. Oil was pouring out of my car and that's NOT figuratively speaking. He explained in detail where my oil leak came from and since then there's been no problem with oil leaks. Last weekend my alternator went up (It's a 13 YEAR OLD CAR) and I was quoted a cheaper price at a place in San Pedro, in fact $100 less. When I called Daryl and told him the issue, he explained to me that it's important to get an alternator that's going to last. He explained that someone could put a "POS" (piece of s***) {my words, not his} alternator in my car and I'd have this problem again before the year was out. So I had Triple A tow my car 50 miles over to the valley from San Pedro. I caught 3 busses to pick up my car and I paid $100 more because I felt assured that my car was in great hands with C & B. Darryl was extremely accommodating. He said to have my car towed to the guy across from him since he was closing @ a certain time today. There was no way my tow would make it to C & B from San Pedro @ 3pm in rush hour traffic to the valley before C & B closed for the day. Darryl checked all my fluids and pressures as well. I strongly recommend taking your car there. He uses quality parts, he explains everything he did and he got my car back to me promptly. If you have an old car, no longer under warranty car and you need a trusted mechanic I strongly recommend calling Darryl. It's on a tight alley way next to a hotel that's adjacent to all the auto shops. Bank of America sits on the corner. He's in the last garage on the left. read more

I've been going to Darryl for a couple of years now and I couldn't be happier with his service. He's done brake, engine, and transmission work for my 04 Mercedes and I wouldn't trust anyone else to repair my car. He does all of the work himself and is always on time and accommodating with my schedule. I came in from a dealer oil change recently where they told me I needed $1,400+ worth of repairs on various things. I brought it to Darry,l who not only found that they wanted to do unnecessary work, but the work he did do was literally half the price of the dealer. I've never met such an honest mechanic who does such good work. read more

Darrell is so honest and so good at what he does. I feel so confident in getting the best service at an affordable rate. He goes over and above, I trust him with my car, my sons, and husband's cars. He was recommended from our friends, and we have been going to C & B auto for over 8 years. He is the best there is. Thank you Darrell. read more

I have been patronizing this shop for many years. While Daryl is a conscientious man, he can be hot and cold. After the last time he went south on me I had enough. No one deserves to be treated badly. There are many other shops around where you can experience good service and a consistent professional attitude. read more

My wife started taking our cars here 23 years ago when I was called away to active duty. We currently have 5 cars, from a year old to 30 years old. He has been keeping them running until we want to be rid of them, reasonable prices, reliable, stands by his work. read more

I love this place! Daryl is a good honest man. I have been going to him for as long as I can remember and my parents before that. He stands behind his work and if he cant do the job he will send you to a good place that can. Fast good work. read more

I was in the area when my engine started running very rough and the check engine light came on. I pulled into Daryl's shop and he was able to diagnose and repair the problem in less than an hour (with no advance appointment). Now that is great service! read more

I have been going to Darrell for several years with all my vehicles. Darrell has always been extremely honest with his diagnosis, pricing and timeliness. There is no mechanic I would trust more than I do Darrell. read more

I have bees using Daryl for at least 15 years and it really feels good to have a mechanic that you can trust and tries to save you money at the same time. He is honest and tells it like it is. He has fair pricing and gets the work done in a timely manner. If something is not right and you go back and tell him he will fix it for free unless the problem is not related to what you previously paid for. I will keep using C & B so long as Daryl is there. read more

Well this is long overdue. Darrell used to service the vehicles for the company I used to work for. When I started my own company I brought both biz and personal vehicles to him. I've been going to him since 2003. He is the most honest and kind mechanic I have ever known. If you need a mechanic you could trust with your mother (and don't we all) Darrell is the man! read more

ive been taking various cars to Daryl for over ten years now. his shop is always immaculate which says a LOT about a mechanic. he always has cars stuff in there but has always been willing to take my cars in when work is needed. he's never too busy where you have to bring it back. the only time he wasnt able to work on my vehicle was with my 15 passenger van that he said was too big to fit in his shop. he referred me to another shop that works on big vans and trucks. he is one of those rare honest mechanics. he wont hose you on a repair job and he's fair to women. my ex takes her cars there as well and is very pleased with his service. daryl always knocks jobs out quickly as well. probably because he doesnt have the room to keep too many cars there. the only drawbacks are the access and parking. its in the WORST possible location. its very intimidating to drive alll the way down that "alley" to get to his shop, let alone make a u turn or if you have to back out of there. its SO tight and congested! i also dont take highly modified performance cars to him. he's great for basic mechanic work but seems to be lost on anything that is custom/high performance. like hipo motors or turbo systems etc... he'll even tell you he's not familiar with it and doesnt sound comfortable if you ask him to work on it. recently i had a part on my truck break and the truck was dead in the street. i called him up and had it towed there and he knocked it out by the next morning and for a great price. i highly recommend him if you need standard mechanic work and live nearby. read more
