Have been using Rob and his team for around 10 years based on a referral from a long-time customer. Rob is a wonderful no BS guy who also happens to be an excellent mechanic. They do great work and what is needed. I have never experienced recommendations of unneeded work/upselling that I have seen from others. I have so much confidence in Rob, that I drove my daughter's car to him to deal with a transmission sensor as I had knew he would handle the repair without drama and add ons. I highly recommend.

I've had so many bad experiences with car mechanics over the years that I have come to just expect it, mostly in the form of blatant overcharging for work, recommending unneeded repairs (hello, brakes that somehow need to be replaced every year!), and sometimes just outright shoddy work. I'd become convinced that this is just the normal state of things, part of the game when owning a car. They overcharge you, you push back and work out a price that's still too high but whatever. They try selling you unneeded work, you decline, they push, you decline again, they come up with other unneeded services, you decline. Etc., etc., ad nauseum. So I've been more than a bit shocked at my experiences at Doerr's. No drama, no overcharging, no constant overselling of services, nothing. Just quiet, competent work for a fair price. You drop off the car and ask him to do an oil change? He'll do the oil change and charge you a nominal price, not 3x the going rate with an added note that you need to change your brand-new brakes because they're "wearing thin". You drop off the car for a New York inspection? He sees you need new wipers, calls to tell you so, charges you $18 per wiper - not $80 - and your car is ready for pickup. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but, to my perpetual amazement, it never does. It's my highest compliment, one I feel uneasy giving given how many times I've been let down by other mechanics, but- this guy is honest. He and his shop are a diamond in the rough. read more

I cannot recommend this mechanic enough. My partner and I had an issue while driving from MA to southern NJ. He was the only shop around for 30 miles. He immediately took our car out for a drive, diagnosed the issue (brakes seconds away from failing entirely), and gave us a more than fair price for it. The shop doesn't take any form of card payment but he offered to drive us to town so we could figure out payment and hang out while he fixed the car. 2 hours later, he came and found us. Turns out my partner didn't have any cell reception so when his phone went to VM he just came to pick us up. When we got back to the shop he explained that he replaced the brakes and had even gone the extra mile to check our oil and tire pressure (both were fine) just to make sure that we would be okay for the rest of the trip. He even tried to undercharge us. It's so hard to find honest mechanics and Murph is easily the best I've seen. Our car wasn't safe to drive when we got there. If someone would've wanted to take advantage of us they easily could've and we wouldn't have had another option. If you're anywhere near Chappaqua, Doerr's is where you want to go. If I lived within an hour of there I'd make the trip just because I know I can trust him. You're lucky to have him and I wish I could find a mechanic half as good as him in my area. read more

So glad I discovered this garage. I've an old car that I try to keep up with. Had a battery issue and called them for help. They immediately stopped by to jump it and then diagnosed a simple problem later that day. A straight-shooter with no bulls*%t. Fair pricing too. read more

Mr Doerr and his team did an excellent job on my car's brakes. They delivered on time and at the price quoted. The quality of their work was superb. Mr Doerr is a very friendly and personable man; very patient when explaining things and answering questions. These guys are a rare find, and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

The one great thing to come from having a dead battery is learning about Doerr's Garage. In a panic over a dozen years ago and new to the area, I called my insurance company to see if I had towing service, and he told me about Doerr's. We've been customers ever since. I can't remember a time when they didn't fit me in with a last minute need to service the car. They do an excellent job at an excellent price, and I would recommend them without hesitation. They are open weekdays, but are flexible about having cars dropped off overnight. read more

I have brought my vintage truck to rob on numerous occasions and he has been able to fix every issue in a timely and professional manner. I would highly recommend Rob and his team to anyone. read more

Rob is a diligent and refined technician and plain English communicator. Trade-offs among choices for older cars are crucial e.g. which repairs can deliver good value, which have lower visibility or likelihood of long term success. These conversations are the reason to choose Doerr's. I value Rob's advice and the dependability of his work! read more

Excellent experience. They explained the extent of the issues and solutions, giving me the full scope of the problems and my options. Fixing your car is a frustrating process, and Rob made it easier through providing information with great care and patience. The prices are fair, the work is quick and they communicate progress along the way. Great experience and will be loyal to them now! read more

This is exactly the kind of trusted local mechanic that everybody is looking for, or should be! They are friendly, pleasant, and -- most importantly -- very good at what they do. Also, unlike many (most?) in this business, they've never tried to get me to do un-needed work, or to manipulate me into spending extra money. read more

Honest garage. Went in for a state inspection. Waited on premises as they took the car immediately. $37 for the deal (I guess Westchester counts at New York Metro area). Car came back clean (I had repaired some parts on my own just prior to visiting) and they didn't attempt to up-sell any services or suggest any unneeded repairs. Pleased. Umm, -1 star for not completely cleaning off the prior state inspection sticker. read more
