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.

Three words to describe Doerr's: Honest, skilled, and reasonable. We have been taking our cars to Doerr's for the past 20 years and have the utmost confidence in their work. They are open weekdays, and have always been so accommodating when we have had an emergency where the car needs to be towed or left overnight. They are a local gem!

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.

They took good care of me when my car had broken down nearby. They helped me with some quick diagnostics and then let me keep my car there until a tow truck could come get it a few days later.

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.

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.

Rob was able to solve an ongoing problem that two other shops were, should I say, "baffled by". His rates are reasonable and the turn around time was shorter than expected.They offer flatbed towing, as well and New York state inspections.A class act and extremely knowledgeable technicians to boot.I would highly recommend Doerrs garage from oil changes to rebuilds.Thanks Rob for the top notch honest service. No smoke and mirrors there.

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.

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.
