I've been coming here for 15 years. They are always thorough and helpful. I highly recommend D& K.

Very honest and knowledgeable business! I'll be taking my vehicles here from now on. I brought my Prius in to get the front turn signal is working and Dave was able to diagnose the problem immediately. read more

Service, quality, value are always a part of bringing my vehicles to D & K Auto Services. They do what they promise.

Wherever we live, we seek out an auto repair shop where the team is personable and helpful and not trying to cheat us - D&K is our go-to in Marin. We keep our cars a long time so they are out of warranty and usually not US-made. No problem, D&K gives us an honest opinion and great work that doesn't break the bank (great value!). They have helped us through a lot of trauma with our aging Subaru and we will take new cars to them as well. The shop is not fancy, but don't let this deter you - the team at D&K is top notch!! read more

D&K Auto Services are the best. They are incredibly helpful and I feel like they are very honest. I know nothing about cars or repairs but I trust them. They have saved me a considerable amount of money while still providing exceptional service. read more

D&K is simply one of the best in Marin. It's so refreshing to get an honest evaluation and suggested repairs for your car (out of warranty) that is reasonable. Thank you! read more

I am grateful to the team at D&K for doing an honest evaluation and great repair job on my car. Unfortunately the entire front axel needed to be replaced after many years of wear and tear. They didn't have a lot of times open as they are very busy, but they were able to fit me in and order the necessary replacement parts. This is an honest family business with fair pricing and quality work. Very happy with my repair. Highly recommend! read more

I really like this place. Fast. Seems very honest. And the people are friendly and business like.

Best service. If you are looking for a trustworthy place to take your vehicle, this is it.

Ok Trish for president is all I have to say! Honest good place. Having to look closer at some issues ended up having to take the car to the dealer. Problem solving was challenging but Trish made it possible. read more

I love this place! It's probably the best repair shop I've ever been to. They're super knowledgeable, reasonable and very nice. What more could you want? read more

Pretty simple, Trish is the best.... The work is done well and affordably. So so lucky to have found this place through work. Our Fire Department and Police Department rely on these guys. read more

Always fair and honest. They do not upsell and they will have you wait until you absolutely need a service before they recommend.

Helped me out so many times on my classic p/u. As a matter of fact I'm towing it back tomorrow and hope they can help me again!!

We service all of our work vehicles here. Family owned business. They are on top of all of them. No price gouging, just plain old good service. read more

Honestly the very best place for auto care ~ so knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced! A true unicorn! And even though they are super-busy, they take the time to explain everything to you, rather than trying to rush through everything. Once my service agreement with my dealership expires, I'm switching my 6-month service visits to them. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Best auto service in Marin. Staff is friendly and listens. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of the work has been great. We will definitely be bringing our cars here as long as we are in the area. Only suggestion is call early as they get booked far out. Probably because they are the best around. read more

The reviews are real. I moved to Corte Madera last month and bought a beat up old truck for short money. I knew from the get-go that it was junk, but wanted to be sure it was safe enough to get me to and from the grocery store (and occasionally further when I'm feeling lucky). I wrote up a laundry list of things I knew were wrong, dropped the truck off, and got a call a few hours later from Trisha. I hadn't yet spoke with Trisha, so she didn't know how I felt about the truck. When she called, she approached the conversation with care and eased into the tough news, reinforcing what I already knew while also adding a few other bullets to my list of problems. Her advice? Don't spend a dime. The team at D&K is honest and not in the business of ripping people off. Read their worst reviews on here and you'll see some whiners who wrongly wasted the staff's time. Time is money and you're going to get charged for it. It's only fair. Read their best reviews and you'll see what's real. #1 on Yelp and #1 on NextDoor, and deservedly so. As a transplant from MA, I don't know many people around here. I'm pretty handy and know how to handle basic fixes on my cars, but I still get nervous when finding a new mechanic. Any time you find a mechanic that tells you not to spend money - you've found a keeper. I'll definitely be back when I get a better vehicle. Till then, I'll keep my AAA card close... read more

You will not find a more trustworthy, honest or reliable auto repair shop anywhere. I won't take my car anywhere else.

By far the best auto body shop in Marin. Don't waste your time anywhere else. No half ass work and reasonable prices. You get what you pay for. Honest, reliable & on time. The owner is a great guy too! read more

D&K is the best. I've been getting outstanding service from them for many years. I also appreciate the fact that they are very thorough and explain everything in detail. Their prices are also very reasonable. I won't go anywhere else. read more

WOW! A business with integrity, excellent service and a staff that makes you feel welcome and appreciated. Good honest, great quality service. Thank you D & K! read more

Best auto mechanic place you'll ever go to. Friendly, efficient, reasonably priced. Have gotten busy so call ahead.

It's been long enough since my last review that I want to update it. I do a lot of work on my cars but sometimes it's nice to let the professionals at D and K fix the problem. I have a 2000 Yukon XL with a lot of miles. I came to a point a couple of years ago that I was sure it needed new brake pads/rotors. Dave put the truck on the rack, inspected the brakes and said they're not ready to change. About 6 or so months and many miles later, I brought the truck back and again Dave said I didn't need new brakes. About 6 months after that, I brought the truck back sure beyond a doubt I needed brakes. I told Dave just change them even if they're close. He called me once again saying not ready. He refused to take money for something I didn't need. I just had the same experience with Trish and tires on a Volvo. I was ready to buy 4 new tires but Trish, like her father, wouldn't sell me something I didn't need. Dave and Trish are people of integrity and just nice, decent people to deal with. That's why I'll keep taking my cars to D and K. Thanks for your honesty and outstanding work all these many years, D and K. read more

This review is long overdue. My family has been in Marin for 25+ years and after being introduced to D and K we've have been bringing our cars here for the last 10 years. Trisha and the guys are super honest, do great work, and are always accommodating. I have even called over the years just to get car advice and Trisha has always given me thoughtful answers even when she knew that these situations didn't equate to dollars for their business. This is a family owned business and they are good people. If they don't do the kind of work you need, they will send you to someone else in the area they trust. Even after moving into San Francisco, I still cross the bridge just to bring my cars to D and K because I know I can trust them. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Wow. My car started to tremble and shake yesterday afternoon. I read the great yelp reviews on D & K and decided to give them a try. Miraculously, D & K diagnosed and fixed my car virtually overnight. Trisha explained the repairs to me, the bill was completely transparent and fair, and the car runs well. I'm a convert. read more

I really cannot express how thankful I am for this wonderful shop! They have been looking after my sweet old '94 Toyota Camry for a few years now. She was my grandma's car (in wv) and a "church and grocery store" car for her, so she's only got 104k miles to date. Most places in the Bay Area do not bother with older cars like miss Mable (that's her name). Not only is Trish and others at the shop responsive and kind, they are good at what they do!! Last year, they went out of their way to find a new computer for her. That is above and beyond!! And gosh dang it (as my grandma would say), they know a good car when they see one no matter it's age! read more

Talked me through a "check engine light" issue at no charge. Told me to return if it came back on but they thought it would be okay. So far so good. my expectations--based on many very good reviews--were completely met. read more

LADIES! (especially if you are living off a starving income) - here is my sad story with D and K Auto Services My car would not start. i was using the wrong key and didn't know it.They charged me close to $100 for my dumb mistake. Alright, it was my dumb mistake, but they sure stuck me. Nothing like getting kicked when you are already down. I could see the $$$ in Trish's eye's when i went to pay. No break from these people. i had work done by D and k before i used the wrong key. It was good work but nothing to write home about and it was top dollar. By chance, a couple years ago i finally found a sweetheart of a mechanic in San Raphael. i asked him to change my spark plugs and oil and left my car. He phoned and told me to come get my car i didn't need my spark plugs or oil changed. Guidelines do not permit me to type in the name of the mechanic and his shop. But chase down my other reviews and you can find out! read more

I came here because of their Yelp rating, so I figured I'd write my own :) My mini cooper was making a bunch of weird noises. I called and Trisha told she told me it was likely oil and to go somewhere and get oil in it ASAP (she didn't push D & K which I loved). I put oil in my car and took it in to D & K to make sure there was no other damage. They noted some things to keep an eye on, but didn't force anything on me at all. So professional, so nice, and so reasonable. Definitely easy to trust, and so patient with someone who knows so little about cars. read more

If you live in Marin, take your car to D&K! Both of you will be leave satisfied. Dave Painter is a son of a bitch, and I mean that in the good sense. Not only is he a booming character who grew up in Marin, but he is honest to the core. They are as inexpensive as competent mechanics can be, will never overcharge you and will never diagnose or perform unnecessary repairs. They are not after your money, but -gasp- to fix your car! Whenever I go there to get my beloved auto, the bill is always either what I figured it would be (by now I'm a pretty good estimator) or lower. We were talking the other day as Dave dropped me off in the morning to take my car back to work on (he does that for me but I don't know if that's a service he offers), and he said the way you really survive in this business is through your reputation and repeat customers, that you're not gonna get that if you consistently rip people off. And I said "Yeah but Dave, you'd be surprised." (There are so many piece of shit mechancs that somehow keep on going!) I'm picky as hell when it comes to mechanics and have been through a lot in Marin. But D&K is the place. Also the premises are vintage! read more

I moved to Marin County almost 12 years ago. I first lived in Corte Madera and when I asked my neighbor for a recommendation to an auto service shop, he glowingly recommended D&K Auto. I have been going there ever since, even after moving to Sausalito. My initial gut when meeting Dave was not just his initial booming voice and impressive stature, my immediate gut instinct was that he was a straight up, honest guy. As a woman who has had her share of nincompoop mechanics trying to pull one over, D&K was a truly refreshing experience. In all these years, the initial gut has never been proven wrong. Dave and team have always done stellar work, I've never had one problem complaint with them and they have been incredibly gracious in educating me on specific stuff I need to care about so I know why they are doing it. Who does that? Simply put, D&K Auto puts the definition behind excellent customer service. At this point, I don't care what they charge (which happens to be very reasonable by the way), I will continue to bring all my cars to them for as long as they do business. Hands down, they are the best...ever!! read more

Wow, knowledgable service technicians and friendly service. This location if fair on parts and service cost. The service is fast and you leave feeling good you took your car here. Unlike the dealership services who overcharge on everything. D&K has earned my future business. They have a new puppy to visit with as you wait too. I highly recommend D&K read more

Absolutely the best auto service I've ever experienced. My catalytic converter was stolen off of my Prius and Trisha was able to get me in same day to get an estimate together for my insurance. To my surprise, the car was fixed by the next morning. I wasn't able to pick it up that day but they gladly held it until the following Monday. I'm definitely taking my cars back to D & K if I ever have an issue in the future. Nice people, good service, honest communication. read more

Been dropping off cars here for 16 years. Trish always calls me after putting my car on the lift to tell me what I could do, what I should do, and what I need to do, allowing me to decide what kind of financial investment into my car I want to make. read more

Great service and great people. Unlike most shops, I am totally confident in their ability to work on my vehicle.

Wonderful family business! They do great work at fair prices, and the customer service can't be beat. I'm sad I just moved out of Marin. I don't know if I'll find another service as qualified and honest as D & K. read more

Come here for all of our auto needs. The family that runs it is absolutely amazing! They are extremely helpful with all of our family's cars, and I wouldn't ever go any other place in Marin. Always know I'm in good hands here. read more

I've been getting my car serviced with D and K and had to say it was a happy accident that I found their number after being fed up with the Chevy dealership. You get knowledgeable staff that gives you a honest opinion on how urgent work should be scheduled. As a female consumer I appreciate the no-nonsense honesty. read more

I can't recommend this place strongly enough! They were VERY honest and extremely helpful when my son's car broke down on a trip to SF. The gal who helped me on the phone and my son in person, Trish or Tricia, was amazing! We'll always remember his trip, the issues with the car and how much less stressful D&K made the whole experience. :) read more
