I regularly see the owner (Louis) of D&Nays where I work, which is how I found them. Louis is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about automotive repair. I know he is knowledgeable because I went to college for auto mechanics. After several conversations, I decided to use him next time I needed service. So, when my brakes needed service I took it in. Everything went very smoothly. After dropping off my truck at opening, he gave me a ride to work, fixed my brakes, and picked me up after work. I liked the convenience of having the work done the same day, plus getting a ride to and from work. It was a nice surprise to find out that he included a 24-month personal warranty on his work. Also, I previously took my truck there one other time to have a potential problem checked. Louis took the time while I was there to inspect it and use his diagnostic scan tool to check the vehicle computer for any trouble codes. Any other mechanic would have charged about $70 or better to check for trouble codes, but he did not charge me anything. I'm thrilled that I found an excellent mechanic that knows his stuff, cares about his customers, and doesn't overcharge. Thank you D&Nays!

I needed an under body shield for 2017 Hyundai Tucson installed that I bought online from a parts website. I talked to the owner and he was friendly and knowledgeable and with reviews being good decided to use his service. I was amazed at his service level and skill. A wonderfully easy to work with person and fast with a warranty and incredible work ethic. And the most improbable thing of all in his business, he would not charge me just because I had some difficulty reaching him at first and he said it was too small a job to charge for in light of that. He is my new go to mechanic and I highly recommend him for any and all car service needs. He can do it all!

Louis was supposedly to change spark plugs for me. After he changed them, the car jumped and made ticking noises. I took the car to Hayes Dodge and it was found that only 3 of the 6 spark plugs were changed even though Louis said all were changed when we picked the car up. Due to this, I had to have work on the engine of my car. Louis was paid $575, which in turn costed over $3000 at Hayes to have the issues fixed that Louis caused. Stay away from this place. See pictures of the old plugs that Louis didn’t change compared to the ones that he did change.

WARNING SCAM BUSINESS I visited this shop because of all the good reviews but do not be fooled. This shop scammed me of $650! I was having issues with my car starting when I fuel it and the mechanic told me it would be $500 for the 2 parts and $150 for the labor. Another mechanic after this entire situation said the parts only cost max $250. I dropped my car off and then the next day was asked to pick it up because the work was done. After picking up my car, I broke down after filling up my fuel before getting home and called the shop back and he said it was my battery that was having a problem now. Said to come back in the morning for a free battery. I did. Two days later when I go to get gas again, my car had the exact same issue and I tried to call D&Nays and they did not answer the phone nor were they even at the shop any day for the next two weeks. I literally went there every day they were supposed to be open but no one was there or answering phone calls. BEWARE DO NOT GO TO THESE SCAMMERS!!!!!!!

I have been known Louis for almost two years since we did volunteers at Perimeter Church.Louis is the best mechanic that I ever seen.He is really knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything that you concern. He also did good service to pick up and drop off your car. I did left my car on the shop yesterday in 100% Trust!All you need to do is give him a call and talk what you need, he will handle it for you!

My review of D&Nay's Auto Repair is based on my experience having my breaks replaced and having a car inspection. Louis was an excellent mechanic but beyond that, he worked with me to make sure I was comfortable. He also refunded my break replacement (which he did not have to do) because of a minor inconvenience which he took responsibility for. People are often worried that mechanics will take advantage of them, this is not the case with Louis who values customer satisfaction tremendously.

My wife towed my daughter's car in to this shop because late one night her car suddenly and with no warning would not shift out of park. Mechanic took two days to "look" at it and stated that the transmission was not communicating with the engine, was shot and needed to be rebuilt or replaced. This did not add up because there had been no slipping or grinding of gears before hand. When I found out it was going to be a $2k fix, I had to ask questions. I got no answers from the owner, but plenty of assurances that if they replaced the transmission the would give a warranty. Long story short, I did 5 minutes of Google research, diagnosised the problem in his parking lot, temporarily fixed it in less than 1 minute, and drove it away from the exact same spot where it was dropped off. I will be replacing the missing bushing on the shifter for $35 and about 5 minutes. This mechanic was not trustworthy at all. All of his answers were vague and he was pushy to the point of rudeness. Beware using this business.

Lewis/Louis however you spell his name is a TOTAL SCAM ARTIST! We took him my car for a diagnostic ($70), after I already told him what was wrong with it (broken water pump). He confirmed the problem but also stated that the engines computer was throwing codes even though the check engine light was not on. He quoted us $1200 to fix the car. He never gave us ANY documentation to show the problem(s). So how can you know what to fix if you don’t know the problem. We went back and forth with him and still nothing has been done to rectify this problem. I don’t want anyone to have to go through this so I’m speaking up.

My boyfriend and I were very satisfied with the way he fixed our car. The price was reasonable as well, a little less than what we actually expected to pay. We called this place the day our car broke down and the next morning he sent out a tow truck to pick up the car from our house. Even though he said we were behind a line of a few cars it only took about 2 days for him to fix the car and have us come pick it up. We will be returning to the mechanic if we need anything in the future.
