Honest and knowledgeable. Have taken my daughters vehicle several times any my husband truck once and always had a great experience.

Friendly, communicative and overall great experience. Hard to find a place like this! Thanks Tom for the great customer service and getting my jeep running again! read more

Tom's hands down the best repair shop in town. So thankful to have met him through Yelp reviews! Will never take my cars anywhere else for repairs and brake work. Small repair shop tucked away off highway 99 toward Stockton. Honest, personable, reasonable pricing what more could one ask for. Keep up the great work D&S! read more

Just moved to the area needed my back brakes fixed was worried to try a new shop to touch my vehicle went and tried to get a Quote at one of these major corporate brake shops and by the end of the day all they could say too me is that i would have to take it the dealer. Next i saw D&S reviews and decided to visit and get quote upon arrival i met with a guy talked to him about the style of brakes i had and he knew right away the system i had and said not a problem. It has been 3 months read more

I had an engine oil leak and my car was at 100k miles. I got the valves resealed sway bar links repaired and a tune up all for $1100! Car runs quieter, smoother, and I'm confident driving my car now that it has no issues. I'll always go back for service done right at a great price! Thank you Tom read more

Called late and left a message nearly before closing and Tom called me back 5 minutes later! Took my car the next day and he was able to figure out the problem and get it done and had the BEST customer service hands down! Glad I found my new trustworthy mechanic!! read more

Brought my truck in last week. Talked to Tom and told him my problem with the truck. He was able to fix the problem and now my truck runs fine. Thank you Tom! read more

I came back sooner than expected. My car had this mysterious long crank and Tom was able to resolve it. Turned out my fuel pump needed replacing. Tom was able to take care of it in one day, but I left it overnight for additional testing. I have to say, if you EVER have a car issue come see Tom at D & S. I have already highly recommended him to people. Thank you again for fixing my car. read more

Tom's hands down the best. So thankful to have met him. Will never take my cars anywhere else. Honest, personable, what more could one ask for. read more

I've been using them for many years now. And they have always done great work for me. And Tommy is very trustworthy, and i'm thankful for that read more

My Nissan Altima started to have issues, and I found D&S on Yelp. I really appreciate Tom's honesty- He said I needed quite a bit of work done suspension related, but said he could fix the misfire for $360 to put me back on the road, or he could do all of the necessary work for around 3k. I have the money so I opted to do all of the work instead of just buying a new car. Most places will say you NEED all of the work done rather than presenting an option as Tom did. I will definitely be coming back here in the future for other repairs read more

Very helpful he's the type of mechanic everybody needs to have in their life because he'll tell you the truth and not fix things that aren't broken read more

Here's my full thorough experience. My AC on my Nissan Altima has been for a while. I first took my Altima to a pepboys to check out the Altima to which they said they would've had to take out and replace my compressor and condenser which would've run me about $2k+. I decided to get a second opinion through D&S automotive. I took my car in on a Friday to check it out. Within an hour of dropping it off. I got a call from Tom saying that my system was leaking bad and that he would've had to replace the compressor and condenser so I gave him the green light. He told me over the phone that it was $730 to which surprised me but later on with a different phone call was actually a mistake and told me it would've costed me $2k~ to which I wasn't really surprised knowing how much pepboys charged for the same service. Tom apologized profusely and was professional about it. I dropped off the car on Friday and they didn't finish until Tuesday afternoon. They're closed on Saturday and Sunday so that explains the longer wait. On Tuesday afternoon, I got a text from Tom Saying that my car would've been at 3:30pm. He also said that the cost was lower than the original $2k~ he quoted which was $1783.34 to be exact which was a plus! Upon receiving my car, my car AC was blowing cold air which was much needed in this July heat wave! I will do a follow up review on my AC in about 10k miles. I recommend Tom to anyone and will for sure bring my car in for any future repairs. read more

Tom is the man! I always go to Tom when I have car problems and he always gets the job done. He is honest and very trustworthy. There was even a time when I turned my car in because I was getting engine overheating alerts. He saw the problem, he fixed it, and he didn't even charge me because he said it was not something major. Imagine if I went to other shops... For any car problems, you can count on him. read more

Had my complete front suspension replaced and rebuilt along with seals and fluid changes done and troubleshoot a few actuators and they got it all done in a timely fashion and for half what the dealer wanted to charge!!! Tommy and the guys are fantastic to deal with!! I'll definitely be taking all my vehicles to him from this point forward!! Thanks again Tommy!!! read more

Tom and the entire D&S team are the best in town! I've taken my car in for a number of services (transmission service, brakes, etc.). Even when I'm in a pinch and need to get in last minute he is flexible and accommodating. Tom is honest, trustworthy, and it is apparent your best interest (and wallet) are front of mind. He doesn't recommend services you don't need and their services are fairly priced. Highly recommend D&S! read more

Trusted. mechanic who cares about his customers and always offers great advice. Tom is the best!

Quick replies. Took my car in same day for oil change and did additional maintenance work I was considering. All in a few hours. Very much appreciated by this commuter! Price was right too! Feels like I found my new mechanic! read more

Great service highly recommend I will bring my vehicles to Tom and his staff. For any more work that Hass to be done.

Simply the best! Go here if you are having any car problems. Great service and best price.

Tom and his team are what you need for your mechanical issues, very patient, very professional, and I have to say reasonable. I would definitely go back again for my car needs. read more

Like everyone else here, I had an extremely positive experience with D&S Automotive, in particular Tom. Long story short, I pulled off a dirt parking lot in Half Moon Bay and on my way home, I could hear some unpleasant noises coming from the left front tire at low speeds. Concerned that the rotor or my breaks were damaged, I decided to find an auto repair shop to look into it the next day. Tom looked into it and couldn't find anything wrong (thank god) and didn't charge for the diagnostic. I insisted on paying him for his time but he respectfully declined. I was blown away by his honesty and amazing customer service. Will be bringing my car here in the future for all my automotive needs. Highly recommend D&S Automotive. Thanks again! read more

I have been going here for years. Tom is a very honest person to work with and does a great job.

Great and friendly Service, my shield splash guard was damaged and Tom was able to see it quickly and resolve the issue. I highly recommend Tom and D & S automotive. read more

Tom...owner...was able to fit me in during a busy period to repair/replace a driver side window mechanism that had broken and left me with an open driver side window during a rain. He was very professional...patient...and helpful...and more importantly...treated me as a welcome guest rather than a needy customer. I can't say enough about this place and I would recommend D&S Automotive to any person needing some vehicle help. Kudos to Tom and his staff! read more

Weeks after my car's warranty expired from CarMax, it started fighting to accelerate and even idle correctly. Tom happily talked it through with me over the phone, but of course found out the real suspect for my car's failure after looking at it. He was SO kind and personable, proved his knowledge, and earned a returning customer in me. I don't care what anyone says, it can be scary for a female to enter into mechanic spaces. It's very male-dominated and can quickly become financially predatory because we are not car experts. This will NOT happen to you at D&S Automotive. I am very happy with my experience there. read more

Great service , reliable , honest , fast the best repair shop in Manteca .highly recommended

New to Manteca area . I highly recommend Tom, he is my new mechanic. Very reliable, honest , knowledgeable and fair price. Can't find this kind of quality customer service anymore. read more

Amazing service and they actually know what they are doing. Tom initially said just bring my car in and it may take a few days to fix the problem. I come in that morning, he brings out the reader and boom - says leave it here. It was done the same day. Problem solved. Thanks. read more

Honesty... always best policy. I was recommended this place and I see why. I thought was my Heater core. Which was a 1k job. But found something that cost me$200. And was firm on it! Found my new mechanic read more

Car was overheating, needed it to be looked at and fixed ASAP, D&S helped me out and took my car in on Friday at 4pm so it could be looked at first thing on Monday morning because I worked before they opened. Had the car back to me by Thursday evening in time for my wife to go to work. Thanks guys. You'll be seeing me again. read more

I just want to say , it's very rare you find an honest mechanic that won't rip you off. But Tom is that person; he's been in the business for 30 years and if your car needs work done ,he'll tell you and charge a fair price. I thought I needed to replace my alternator on my '16 Camry and turns out after Tom checked it; was all good. He went above and beyond in service, I will be going back if I need anything fixed or replaced. read more

Thank You to Tom for helping me out with a flat tire . Left the tire in the morning and it was ready within a few hours. Down to earth business with kind and reliable people. Stopped after work, and Tom installed the tire back on my vehicle. And the biggest surprise, there was no charge. I was completely surprised by his kind gesture. Again THANK YOU Tom!! I highly recommend D&S Automotive (foreign and domestic) for your car's needs. I will definitely be taking my car to D&S Automotive when I will need repairs. And if you like birds, stop by the shop's office read more

Tom isn't busy for no reason, TOM IS DA MAN! Honest & knowledgeable. It feels good to have a mechanic you can trust. Tom is just overall a good person. Very very grateful for him and his diligence. read more

Had a weird noise coming car. I had the tires rotated and put on new brakes. The noise didn't go away. So I gave up on doing my own work and took it to D&S. They figured out it was the wheel bearing and had it fix in a day. Tom was great to deal with. I highly recommend D&S. read more

My car was making a rattling noise and Tom was very kind to repair the damage right away. Very honest mechanic and great service! Thanks Tom! read more

Wanted to make sure everyone knows that if you bring your vehicle to Tom at D&S, you will be well taken care of! He's done work for us the past fixing a broken door lock. But yesterday we were nearby when our Sequoia had a blowout (for all toyota owners, please replace those OEM dunlop AT20's ASAP, found out prone to blowouts). I called Tom and he told me to come on by, they had us fixed up in 10 mins and on the road again. Incredible customer service! Will be coming back for sure! Thanks again Tom! read more

6 STARS if possible! The folks here work extremely hard to meet your satisfaction. Hell, even the Owner gives customers rides home if the work will be extended or if the customer request. The guys in the garage are approachable and willing to inform the customer on just about anything related to their car or cars in general. A modest hard working shop with honest and nice folks. To put icing on the cake... they have VERY competitive pricing... most often less than larger shops in the surrounding area. No real waiting area to speak of but this is overshadowed by the easily requested rides home! Full service shop with little to no pressure but the owners does not want unsafe vehicles to leave as such. I've had to shell out some serious money over the years but each time I was well informed on why and all the other alternatives. When the time came to fork over the cash I was very confident it was the right and proper decision to make. I have never regretted for a moment any work I have had done and when things didn't go as planned... the Shop stood by their word and work and that is something difficult to find today! 5 cars and one wallet, without the information and expertise they have at D&S, it would have been a spectacular failure, but we made it all happen together! 6 stars.... if possible! read more

I am young and don't know much about cars. I found this mechanic on Google and called. Mechanics here are very honest and have always communicated with me before doing any work. I call ahead to make an appointment and they work on my car right away. I have brought 2 VWs to them and referred them to my family. I also remember they had a parrot that says "hola" :) read more

I am a 62 single woman and I was terrified to take my car in to get it checked out. My daughter told me to check the yelp reviews. Every other company had horrible reviews so I put in the search bar "Good car repair in Manteca". D & S Automotive popped up. Every review was 5 stars and they spoke so highly about Tom so I had to take it in to him. Everything that was said about him was true. He really cares about people. He dropped me off at home and also picked me up when my car was ready. I told him that I was sad that my car was messed up, but I was so glad that I met him. I've told my entire family how wonderful I was treated and I know if any issues come up in the future, they will be going to see Tom. It's so refreshing to meet someone that has the great attitude that he wants to make the customer happy. You will not be disappointed taking your car here. read more
