D & K Auto Services

Wow, knowledgable service technicians and friendly service. This location if fair on parts and service cost. The service is fast and you leave feeling good you took your car here. Unlike the dealership services who overcharge on everything.
D&K has earned my future business. They have a new puppy to visit with as you wait too. I highly recommend D&K

Found this place on Unilocal and I was really pleased with their customer service. My engine was smoking so I brought my Honda in and after looking in the car they discovered an issue that would require my engine to be completely replaced, but they knew it would most likely be covered under warranty if I brought it to Honda. They filled up my oil and coolant and didn’t charge me for anything. I’m so happy they knew about this certain issue, and my engine will be replaced under the warranty. Thanks D & K!

Excellent service at a reasonable price

Still madly in love with D & K — I now have an older Honda Accord so the little things are happening that just happen when the car is 9 years old. Trish and the gang take the best care of me! Many times my urgent needs are false starts, a good thing! I always recommend D & K, you will never leave there wondering if you’ve just been had. Not ever.

These guys epitomize customer service. I worked with Tricia (I hope I spelt her name right) to get a used car inspected.
The general gist, we live over in Modesto and we had a car that we were interested in at Marin Luxury Cars. Despite setting up beforehand with the dealership that they would drop the car off for inspection in the morning, which is when I had scheduled with D&K to have things looked at, they managed to fail to get the car in by the appointment time or the end of day. Throughout the ordeal, Tricia was very patient and willing to accept the fact that these guys had failed to bring the car in at any point in the day, with both of us hoping at some point the vehicle would arrive for inspection. At the end of it all, she was even willing to go the extra mile, quite literally the dealership is only a mile away, to go and bring the car in for inspection. Though that wasn’t needed as the dealership, finally managed to free up the car from it’s smog check… something that normally takes 30 mins to an hour by the end of the day.
At the time of writing, D&K has yet to do my used car inspection, but the level of customer service that Tricia has provided, would keep me coming to their shop if I were to live in the area. Highly recommended on customer service alone!

I was going to write a review, a favorable one. Actually a stellar review to support their business as they excel in service, advice and value but, I feel like a needle in a haystack of positive reviews.
Just bring your vehicle here, any vehicle. I’ve seen ambulances, police cars here, if they can’t fix it they’ll give you great advise on where to take it for the best work and most reasonable price. Amazing! It’s like stepping back in time to when you could actually trust your mechanic. At D & K, you can! I really wanted to stand out as an exemplary review but alas that post has been filled, many times over. Just take your vehicle to D & K.

I love D & K auto services because of the long standing reputation of the owner, Dave, in the auto repairing business, his honesty and his sense of humor. He’s a graduate of Redwood High School. Compared to many other auto repair services in the area his prices are reasonable. He’ll do the auto repairs you authorize, tell you about stuff that may/​will need doing in the future. He takes care of business. He isn’t constantly trying to upsell you on added services you may not need or want. Consistent. Dependable.
Approachable. And if there’s some auto repair/​body services he’s not comfortable working on, he’ll refer you to the best, affordable and consistent providers in Marin. A solid businessperson who gets a lot of repeat business. A family run business.

D&K, very honest hard working guy. Even the cops use him!

I’ve been going to D&K for 18 years with multiple cars from the household both old and new. I’ve never had to take a car back for a refix or correction! Good prices, good work and straight dope.

I’ve been taking my cars and trucks to Dave for ten-​plus years. I wouldn’t consider going to another mechanic anywhere. I can only agree with what’s been said below — he’s fair and honest 100 percent of the time. He’s my recommendation for everyone — my daughter and everyone else I know.

I’m a new fan. I tried D&K because of Unilocal,and was not disappointed. They were not quick with the turn-​around (took a few weeks) but they were very through. Identified the problem, and now my vehicle runs great. Thanks D&K!

I moved to Marin County almost 12 years ago. I first lived in Corte Madera and when I asked my neighbor for a recommendation to an auto service shop, he glowingly recommended D&K Auto. I have been going there ever since, even after moving to Sausalito.
My initial gut when meeting Dave was not just his initial booming voice and impressive stature, my immediate gut instinct was that he was a straight up, honest guy. As a woman who has had her share of nincompoop mechanics trying to pull one over, D&K was a truly refreshing experience. In all these years, the initial gut has never been proven wrong. Dave and team have always done stellar work, I’ve never had one problem complaint with them and they have been incredibly gracious in educating me on specific stuff I need to care about so I know why they are doing it. Who does that? Simply put, D&K Auto puts the definition behind excellent customer service.
At this point, I don’t care what they charge (which happens to be very reasonable by the way), I will continue to bring all my cars to them for as long as they do business. Hands down, they are the best… ever!

D & K has always done everything I have asked of them. I have found that they are honest, direct and trustworthy about what’s going on with my vehicle and how much it will cost to fix. Nothing I have had repaired there has ever had an issue. I even take my vehicles there for oil changes… It’s a little more time and money than those 30 minute places, but I know the job will be done right!

The only place I will EVER go for any repair. Dave and daughter Trisha will nevr do unnecessary repairs and have more integrity than any place I have ever gone to. Fast, quality work and inexpensive, they will never try to sell you on work that deosnt need to be done. Love them, locals that care about you

These people here at D and K are very kind and helpful. I came with issues on an engine light that was keeping me from passing a smog test. Trish, dave’s daughter got a mechanic on it right away and got the engine light to turn off. Dave, her Dad, is a nice guy and he advised me what to do to get my car tp pass smog. He did not even have to do repairs and referred me to a place for the test. Wow are these people helpful. I can tell you where i’m coming for my auto repairs now. Its ina cozy area of Larkspur too, i could walk around while waiting if i need to. Thanks dave and Trsih, i hope the best karma for you and your business. Thanks for helping all the people that have need of trust in the auto repairs. I can see why your rep is good!

D&K checked out my car after I had some issues braking. They checked out my car and got back to me extremely quickly, explained my options in an easy to understand way, and didn’t even charge me for the time it took them to check everything out. They were very honest and definitely didn’t pressure me into doing any service that wasn’t necessary. Highly recommended.

I’d just bought an ’05 Toyota used car with no spare tire, Dave told me he could sell me a new wheel and tire and his daughter told me they would call me back. They never did. When I got tired of driving with no spare, I drove to San Rafael and bought my tire/​wheel at Cain’s.
I will return to D & K for general auto services when I need them. Dave and his daughter seem to have a good shop, and I’m local, so I’ll bring my business there.

I have been coming to D & K for close to a year now. I cannot say enough positive stuff about these folks. When I was bringing my clunker minivan in they always tried to help out in the most cost-​effective way. When it failed a smog test they found the problem and fixed it for… NO CHARGE! I just picked up a Subaru Forester which needed the timing belt service done. They had no problem with using my parts and their charges were very reasonable. I feel so lucky to live so close to this gem of a shop.

Amazing Mechanics! I just moved from out of state and therefore didn’t know any GOOD local mechanics. Thankfully Unilocal helped point me in the right direction with these folks. I cannot speak highly enough for the people at D&K. Not only did they diagnose a problem that was undiagnosable at another shop, but they offered to drive me to and from work while they worked on my car so I wouldn’t be late! I know where I will be taking my car to be worked on going forward in the San Francisco /​Marin County area.

D&K replaced my starter motor in Oct of last year. Now I’ve been experiencing some problems with it almost a year later. I took it in with only a week left on their warranty of their work. They replaced the starter motor totally hassle free — no questions asked. Thank you D&K!
