“My dad brought my car into Derick’s and we had a great experience overall. They were honest and took great care of my car. I had an oil change and brake flush. I asked if they could check my brakes after a prior mechanic told me I needed brake pads—but to my relief the mechanics at Derick’s and Eve told me that the percentage of my brake pad was good and that I didn’t need a replacement.
