On 1/8/2025 Maureen Vien had this to say:
We have lived here for over 30 years and have luckily not have had to have any car repairs done. Our daughter just moved here from out of state and her older car broke down yesterday. We have heard nothing but good things about Doctor D`s over the years so we stopped there today understanding that we are in season and how busy they would be. They quickly diagnosed and fixed her car at a very reasonable cost. They have lived up to the reputation and more. Thanks for being there for us.
