I was recommended to D and D auto by my neighbor and I am very happy with the work they do. They are trustworthy, honest and do not try to up sell you on anything you do not need. If you're looking for an honest mechanic , this is the place. Sal and his team Are top notch and beyond helpful . read more

The best treatment of handicapped!! I needed my smog certificate and when I drove in the owner,Sal, must have noticed my walker in the back of my car. He told me I would not have to get out to wait while the test was preformed. I really appreciated that. I am in my 70s and while I can lift the walker in and out, after a couple of stops it gets cumbersome. He told me for any work needed they would pick up my car or take me home if I took it in. I have found my garage. read more

Went here for an oil change on my and my wife's car. Not a long wait, good service, fair pricing. A straight-forward experience; I would go back again. read more

I come here all the time. They definitely get the job done yet in a timely manner. On all my work they did excellent! Darrell Jewett read more

Trustworthy Mechanic My son recommended this auto repair shop. It is run by a trustworthy mechanic, who cares about his customers. I had no A/C for over a year or better. I went over to the shop with my son and we all discussed what all I needed done, which there is a list. Number one priority was getting my A/C back on. He gave an estimate and we left the car in Sal's capable hands. He repaired it and delivered my car to where I work. I could not be happier. I would highly recommend D & D Automotive Repair to anyone. Hope this review will be of help. Thank you for reading it and thank you Sal!!! read more

A friend of mine recommended D&D, said he takes his vehicles there because they trustworthy. I'm glad he knew about this place because they are very professional, friendly and quick. I had a very positive experience and would definitely go back for future repairs. Sal was very honest and polite. Thank you for making my experience a pleasant one:) Betty read more

Super friendly, fair pricing, quick, and always make room on short notice. My husband and I both use them for our smog checks.

The service and quality of work from both the owner and the technician were outstanding! I took my 92' Mazda and it needed an the extra test done on top of the typical smog check visit, this extra testing is done to vehicles from 1995 and under and is require by the DMV. The technician went above and beyond in explaining the process. The owner himself inspected and made sure the process was smooth and swift. If you have a classic or older vehicle I highly recommend D&D for any inspection. it is a business we must support as it is doing its best in serving the whittier/la mirada community. Thank you. read more

Took advantage of my grandmother . I personally will be contacting California bureau of repairs. Sold her a car for $1200 , now telling her it will cost 1400$ to repair. Just moved back from out of state. IAM A MECHANIC. Stop putting bullshit transmissions in cars. See you soon slimeball. read more

I hate taking my car in for anything but right away they made this a pleasant experience. I called and someone answered promptly assuring me they'd be available to work on my car. After arriving the process was seamless. I went for a tea and to my surprise they were finished before I was. I'd definitely continue being a customer here. read more

Sal is fair, honest and reliable. Offers a wide variety of services. I would never hesitate to bring my old car to him.

Took my car to get smogged, service was A++! Was able to get in and out quickly, efficiently, and the price was very fair. Technician was friendly and took the time to explain the process to me. Will be bringing all my vehicles here for Smog in the future! read more

Thanks extremely knowledgeable and repair does done proficiently. Best day ever. Thanks

It's really hard to find a good automotive shop you can trust because everyone is trying to upsell and make money. I did not get the feeling with D&D. My parents have lived around the corner from here since I was a kid and I needed my AC fixed on my car. I recently took it to an AC Specialist who charged me a diagnosis fee (which is fine), but came back wanting to rewire my entire system and bypass something, which made no sense. My AC worked and it suddenly stopped. There was no need for serious surgery on my car. Since it has been extremely hot, I needed AC and since D&D was local I have them a try and I'm glad I did. Sal was very friendly and honest. I am glad I have a local mechanic to help me now. read more

Terrible place. Had a big sign in the window advertising smog check for $39'00. When they charged me $60.00 I inquired why so much? The big lazy guy stated "because I had to manually input you vin number. It took me 15 minutes". If it takes 15 minutes to input a string of 15 letters and numbers?? There is a problem. I was curious what others charged for smog in the area for my 2011 ford crown Victoria?? the average price was $40. This place is a ripoff. Don't trust these people with you car!! Got a bogus response from the owner who lied about the vin numbers. The car was owned by the Garden Grove police department prior to me and the actual title was submitted with the paperwork . More BS. Don't trust this place!! . read more

Brought my car to get a smog check, fast service, polite, and peaceful here. Will definitely bring my cars here. Thanks D and D!

I been taking cars to get smog to D & D since 2019! Believe me, they are The Best! Super reliable, friendly and responsible. Located in the corner of Leffingwell and la Mirada in the city of Whittier. They will tell you the truth and they won't disappoint you. read more

Sal was driving my car and indicated my problem was fixed. When I came back to ask for a refund, he refused. A waste of money with no results. Do not use them. read more

came in on Saturday spoke with jack shared his knowledge on older European vehicles made me comfortable leaving my 1985 BMW 535i he took very good care of it, it was a mess when i brought it now its clean. im diffidently coming back here. Hes reasonable on prices aswell. just a heads up you did add a few parts i did not approved but yet gave me a deal that made it up. im sure it would of cost more if you did call me on it. Thanks Jack!! read more

I would definitely recommend D & D Automotive , Sal was a pleasure to work with , took my truck right in for smog check on Memorial Day , we sat in the office and chatted after he was finished smogging my truck , very nice guy , definitely be back for my Automotive repairs in the future..Thanks Sal . read more

This guy said he put in a new battery but then didn't. I can't trust that he actually does the work I pay him for.

After my trusted longtime local mechanic went out of business I was in a bit of a pickle wondering where to take my cars for dependable service. I saw a recommendation for D & D Automotive at my old mechanics Yelp site and decided to try them out. I've used their services a couple of times now and Sal provides dependable service at fair prices. It's a lot closer to my home than my old mechanic as well. Sal has become "my new trusted mechanic"! read more

Friendly and professional staff. Fast and effective. If you need to get a smog check or some work done, this is the place to do it.

Great service, friendly, helpful and fast. All you could ever ask for from a auto-shop.

I was recommended to D&D by a neighbor that's been using them for there vehicle maintenance. Hands down one of the best shops I've been too. They are very efficient, honest and trustworthy I will recommend and go back. Thank you to the team at D&D. read more

My Nissan Xterra wouldn't start after a trip to Taco Bell on Leffingwell... so I rolled it over to D & D, and within 2 hours Sal replaced my starter and had my car running smooth. They had a good understanding of my car and were honest with me. Thank you for the brotherly advice Sal! Verdict: They seem to have the experience to properly diagnose your vehicle. Pro tip: Ask questions to really understand what's up with your car. read more

Felix was amazing. Help me with my smog check. Very polite and helpful. Made my trip today short and simple

My alternator went out and I was thankful to find Sal and his shop. Had my van towed in and they took care of it and had me back on the road the same day. Great services and prices are fair and reasonable. Definitely give them a call. read more

Recent college grad who needed a car and was recommended to talk to Sal (who runs the shop) if I had any car-related questions. Turns out he had some cars for sale as well and let me test drive them. Sal was transparent and helpful with everything he said and I ended up getting an old Toyota Avalon. I was a bit skeptical at first since the car had so many mikes, but I've been using it for several months now with no issues! read more

Place is convenient and reasonably priced. Fast service. They will make suggestions on what you need but won't pressure you to get it done. My go to place for oil changes. read more

The owner Sal has always helped me out in emergencies. My daughter's car broke down and was given a high quote from a big repair shop. Sal repaired it fast and for less. Thank you again Sal . read more

Great price. The boss and workers are nice and helpful. Not only do they do the requested task, they go further and check other parts of the car and will notify you if they've found something wrong which you didn't notice. They helped me check my issue with transmisison and I didn't realize that. Also, when my fuel evap pipe was split in half, they helped me negotiate for the cheapest price for a new pipe. They are honest, caring, and great people to work with! read more

Always take my cars here and they know exactly what to do. My oil changes are quick and no their recommendations are spot on!

Sal is the best he knows how to make you laugh and the customer service is great he is friendly and good to be around

I recommend this smog check station due to their reasonable prices and prompt services. I recommended this place to my neighbor who called a place in La Habra where she had to make an appointment. I told her to drive down the street to D &D and she didn't need an appointment. She was hesitant at first but checked it out and was extremely happy with the service and price. No waiting and no hassle. No one likes smog testing except the State of California but D & D Automotive makes it as pleasant as possible. read more

They didn't help me and tried to bamboozle me out of $90 for just looking at my 74 VW bug because I brought it in after it wasn't starting when the battery wasn't an issue. When I asked if he had a safe lot, Jack, a mechanic said they had cameras but gave me attitude about taking my hubcaps home with me. He proceeded to angrily take them off while the chrome sides of them bounced and scratched on the floor. What gives? I ended up giving AAA a call to tow me out of here after I had to pretty much take my key back from Jack who seemed upset I didn't want him touching my car anymore. I wouldn't come here ever again or tell anybody to. Jack in particular is rude and not a hospitable guy whatsoever. read more

I took my pilot and fixed it up really good. Sal is my car's doctor. I trust him with my life. I don't want to make this sound official but he walked the extra mile for me when it comes to customer service. I will never take my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks bro. And good luck with the new renovations. The shop looks soooo good. read more

I've taken all three of my cars here for their smogs, my 4Runner failed due to an exhaust leak and a catalytic converter that "didn't match the numbers of the DMVs website" I had the exhaust leak fixed by D&D, no issue there. Retested after the new exhaust, still failed. Took it to a shop that specializes in catalytic converters only for them to tell me and show me, that the catalytic converter on my 4Runner did match the DMVs website, took it to their smog guy and passed. I will not be coming back here again. I'm glad I got a second opinion and didn't spend an additional 2/300 dollars for a new catalytic converter (that I would not have needed)on top of the 150 I had spent for the exhaust and initial smog check. Get a second opinion or avoid coming here all together. read more

See all

Horrible, horrible parking! I went for a smog check. There were too many parked cars and it was hard to get around. The guy was kinda rude. He didn't give me a wait time or anything. He also told me to keep a window open "in case we get locked out" Seriously? After he told me where to park, I did for like 30 seconds and left. I didn't feel comfortable there. Went out of my way to a better location. Definitely not coming back for smog or car repair. read more

My mechanic tried an tried but couldn't figure out how to fix my 1995 GMC Van that had an engine service light on. The GMC dealership misdiagnosed the problem entirely. I was at witts end. Then I found D & D. I felt that​ Sahed, the owner was very honest with me and save me money too. AND they were able to fix the problem, and in fact fixed another problem with the idle control that no mechanic for years was able to fix and I just learned to live with the problem. If you want a mechanic you can trust, who really knows what he is doing, who want charge you more than is deserved, call Sahed! I did and I am soooo glad! read more
