They got back to me promptly and helped arrange a tow with my insurance company. On top of it all they sent Miranda of Currys to pick me up and drive me home after truck was towed. On Monday when they opened, they finished truck the same day at a very reasonable price. I have had work done here before. They are simply excellent. They never gouge you. I am reasonably literate on car problems and they fix what needs to be fixed. Special thanks to Miranda in office and Steve the manager. Yeah, I've found the best auto repair in town. This is my go to place.

I brought my 2023 Freightliner here for a DPF after-treatment service. I was honestly a bit…read moreconcerned at first because DPF work can be complicated, and if it's not done right, it can turn into a bigger problem. I've had my fair share of bad repair experiences in the trucking industry, so I was cautious going in. From the start, the staff at Curry Diesel were calm, professional, and took the time to address all my concerns during check-in. The mechanics here clearly know what they're doing--the level of knowledge and organization is on par with what you'd expect from a dealership service center. They kept me updated throughout the process and explained both the issue and the repair steps in a way that made sense. After getting my truck back, I drove about 2,600 miles and even had another mechanic inspect the DPF. Everything checked out, confirming the job was done correctly and professionally. So I'll say it straight--this place is legit. No runaround, no guessing games. They diagnose the problem and fix it the right way. As an over-the-road trucker, that peace of mind means everything. Overall, they deliver dealership-level service at a more reasonable cost. The staff is polite and friendly, and the mechanics are highly skilled. You can tell they care more about doing the job right and earning a good reputation than just taking your money.

The waiting room was the cleanest that I have ever experienced in a small shop like this. They had water and seltzer in a mini fridge. They also had a Kurig for coffee. I recommend them to anyone needing service. Thanks for a great service experience.

Shout out to Mike and Sam the mechanic who got on the phone with me and answered all my questions (who does that!) and Mike who personally made sure I felt well taken care of and paid attention to all of my concerns. If you have a European car, I cannot recommend this place enough!

He has always been able to get me in quickly, diagnose the problem accurately, and complete the repairs in a timely manner with high-quality workmanship. What impresses me most is Dave's knowledge and honesty. He takes the time to explain what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and just as importantly what doesn't need to be fixed. In a business where unnecessary repairs can add up fast, I truly appreciate that Dave focuses on what is actually needed and has saved me a lot of money because of it. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic who does quality work, stands behind his repairs, and treats customers fairly, Dave's Garage is the place to go. Five stars!
