I gotta say I'm a veteran, from GA and I've traveled coast to coast using many shops in between. I've worked on vehicles my whole life and some things I just don't have the tools or time to do anymore. Dean is a stand up, no BS guy! He will tell you what the problem is, have it fixed and gives you a more than fair price. I've had electrical issues and even bearing issues in my differential on my dodge 3500. Always a quick turn around and never even the slightest of problem from him.

I would recommend to anyone, for any issues. Hell even just basic things you feel you could do at home.

I've been a very satisfied customer for 35+ years and I refer everyone with car trouble to Dean at Professional Auto Repair.

Deano's been a great friend and terrific mechanic over the years.

UPDATE: It's 10 years later since I left my original review. I collect a wide variety of vehicles. Deano and crew do a great job getting my old jalopies back on the road and keeping them running like new. 😃

No need to look anyplace else for your auto repair needs.

Just wanted to share how awesome this team is. Dean, Tim and Steve know there stuff. I have owned multiple cars and trucks in my life. Every time before I buy one I let them look it over to tell me the Pro's and Con's.
They take care of my oil changes and tire rotations all they way up to replacing engine parts on my 2017 Ford Raptor. This team is transparent, affordable and most importantly honest. Priceless to have a mechanic you can trust. Let alone get the right job done the first time. I have sent my parents, friends, and church to them. Always giving great feedback. Thank you Professional Auto Repair. My family truly appreciates y'all to the fullest. Prayers and blessings with you all during these crazy times. Sincerely your faithful and joyful customer Matthew.

I got my breaks and rotors changed on my 2016 Buick GS. I felt as he treated me like his own daughter and was fully honest with me about my car and it’s needs. It’s hard enough to find an honest mechanic, but Dean is not only an honest business man, he is also an honest man I truly felt I could trust. The price was affordable and beyond reasonable as he fully understood my current financial situation. He got my car finished super fast and said it would be done by 2 pm and it was out of his garage by 1:58 further confirming that he is a man of his word. I have been blessed to have met Dean and I’m declaring his business as my official go to mechanic. I plan to return For my oil change and for any future repairs and maintenance. Many thanks to Dean and his team that worked on my car today! Looking forward to seeing you guys again!
