I have been going to Dere auto for over 20 years. Lee has never lied to me. He has never charged me more than what he estimated. He has never told me to fix something when it didn't need it.

Love the dedication these guys have! Just went in again for a badly lugging car that began to stall out on hills! I was sadly thinking about the transmission needing to be replaced (or the car!) But no... With a Sherlock Holmes type of investigation that they did; it turned out to be a broken air intake that was pennies verses debt! Yay! So thankful for their persistence and integrity.

These guys are my go to guys! Missed when they had a shop in West Seattle but I drove over here because they are fair and give it to you straight.

Lee is a very nice guy. Has worked on my sister's car for 30 years. They do excellent work. I'm going to start taking my car to him.

I’ve taken my vehicles (F-150, Honda, Subaru) to Dere for 20+ yrs. Honest, reasonable and the won’t do any work you don’t need: too busy. I’ve referred many and they all agree: A-1!!!

it's hard to find a good mechanic, but dere auto is the real deal! i have a 2004 honda pilot with 220k miles on it, and these guys made sure it was ready to get me all the way to brooklyn without issue.
they were honest, quick, and thorough. my car drove better than it has in years. and! i got an average of 23mpg on my trip, which is more than the advertised range from 2004. if that's not a testament to their work, idk what is.
one small thing: i asked them to look at my ac, and it turned out that ask got lost in conversation, and i drove across the country with a broken ac. not knocking any stars, because i should have double checked my invoice and made sure it was looked at. but just a heads up - some things might get lost - so make sure you double check everything that you asked for!

The team here is awesome – generous, fast, and straightforward.
I had a badly rusted and stripped screw on an engine part. They generously offered to help me and got the job done very quickly. I am very grateful and I will be bringing my business here and recommending it to my friends.

Good service but it smelled very strongly of smoke
