Jerry DeLong Automotive

These guys are good! A class act all the way!
Just before signing the big check for a slightly used car I decided to have it checked out at a mechanic not affiliated with the dealership — as you always should! The car had seemed perfect, it was clean, purred along the interstate during the test drive, everything worked as it should. Perfect! But I still needed to have it check out for peace of mind. And I am glad I did! But we’ll get to that later…
From the initial phone call where they were able to get me in last minute to being greeted upon arrival, to the actual service, the entire process was top notch. As I looked around their office signs on how they conduct business were everywhere, from the honorary system of paying for the snacks to the mottos that hung on the wall exuding they were serious about integrity and honesty. And they were.
From years of interviewing people for work you get a slight talent on how to read people. Actually, that was why I was there, I had a bad feeling from those that were about to sell me the car. I had detected a few non-​verbal signs of deception that gave me pause. On the other hand, I felt the guys at Jerry DeLong Automotive are genuine, honest, good guys. Very important in a auto shop! And they didn’t prove me wrong.
Now for the bad news…
When I returned (they paid for my ride back, too!) they showed me everything that was of concern with the car — and there was a lot. Seems the previous owner pushed the car to its limits. Leaks everywhere along with some other things. These repairs would of cost thousands in a year or two.
The $ 90 (I used their Unilocal discount) I spent there saved me thousands of $$$!
Needless to say I didn’t buy the car.
The whole process was done with class, professionalism, and honesty. My only regret is that my house is not located more closely because these would be my go-​to auto guys.
Thanks again for your services. Keep up the good work!

I have been going to Jerry for almost 15 years. He is the most honest mechanic I have ever experienced. He is also the BEST mechanic that I have ever encountered — the only way to really describe it is that he is a true mechanical artist!!! WDJiii

When I say they are a God send it’s an understatement! The service was awesome! Jerry is very honest and thorough. I didn’t know about this place and took a chance and it was a blessing in disguise. He educated me on a lot and didn’t try to shake me down. We went through the car and checked everything and again was very informational and professional. I recommend highly you bring your business here. You won’t be disappointed! !! Honest, quick and honest! !!!
