Leesburg Auto Repair

3 check-ins You can trust these guys. Won't service vehicles anywhere else.

Got fed up with the local Toyota dealership quoting me outrageous prices and trying to up-sell me add-ons I didn't need. Heard great things about D&D from friends and neighbors so I took a little walk over from Windy City Red Hots with dog in hand to check the place out. Talked to Doug, the owner, about my Camry needing a 60,000 mile service. Doug quoted me a reasonable price for the service that covered every NECESSARY service the dealership was scheduled to do. At one point, while looking up the list of services, he chuckled and said Toyota scheduled some additional services that I likely didn't need that would have tripled the price - you know, those RECOMMENDED services. Doug was able to get me in the next day to my delight and saved me some money off dealership prices. He took a look at all of the other dealer "recommendations" and did not think any were necessary for my car at that time. He was honest about my brakes having about a year left and instead of surprising me with a huge bill, has given me the time to save some money for the job. Thanks to Doug and his team for honest, prompt, and professional service.

12 check-ins As a woman I like going to a place where the mechanics don't try to BS me or treat me like an idiot, which is a hard place to find. I had a 20 year old Jeep as my first car and drove it for 15 years, I'm not saying I am a mechanic, but I do know one or maybe two things about cars. Have had my 4Runner for 10 years with 175K miles on it, nearly trouble free. I used to take it to the dealership in Frederick because they had a great rep, but a couple years ago they took a dive in service and I haven't found anyone I particularly trust, until this week. The Runner has, off-and-on, had a strange hesitation in it for several years. Numerous visits to mechanics, numerous computer checks and various repair attempts on multiple parts have all failed to pinpoint, or fix, the problem. One day at D&D Automotive and it's fixed, a simple throttle position sensor that was just crappy enough to be annoying but never show up on computer checks and of course never when the mechanic drove it. This shop is the real deal, mechanics, not just part-swappers. Thanks Doug, for fixing my car, and not treating me like a moron in the process.

3 check-ins Trustworthy and does great work. Glad to have someone local that's not there to rip you off. Thanks Doug! Give them a try if you haven't you won't regret it!

1 check-in It's a Saturday afternoon, I'm sitting at home. When all of a sudden, I forgot I needed to get the state inspection on our back up car. It's a 1997 Chevy S-10 pickup We have been meaning to do it for a long time, but just kept forgetting. It was a little over due, maybe 3 months overdue. Whoops =) I got in the car and started to drive around Leesburg looking for a place. The gas station was backed. The other places I drove to were all closed. I started to head down town to visit this one other shop. I had just missed them, by 15 minutes. They had just closed. I figure I was going to get in trouble, because I was loaning the pickup to someone and I didn't want them to get a ticket. Well as I was driving around the back roads of downtown Leesburg, I can across D & D Automotive Repair. I didn't know this place existed. I saw the inspection sign and figured I'd go ask. I saw Doug the owner and asked if they were still open. He said yes. I asked if they could do a safety inspection. He again said yes. I handed him the keys and off he went. I wondered around outside as they were doing the inspection. You could sit inside as there are a few chairs. The AC was running nice and cool. After I got tired of the heat I went inside. Doug soon approached me telling me that the backup lights were out. He said I could go home and do it myself, but he would have to fail me, or they could do it. I said sure, go ahead. I didn't want to have to bring it back. As they took out the bulb the noticed that it didn't seem broken. They put a new bulb in and the backup lights still did not work. He then went to check the fuses to see if anything was off there. Still nothing seemed out of place. He started to do other checks, when he decided to put the truck on the lift and look under the car. Once he had the car up there, he asked when I got the hitch put on the truck. I had said probably 5 years ago. He looked up at the wiring and played with it a little. Turns out a wire had come loose, and he fixed it up. Word of advice if you are going to get a hitch put on your car, don't go to U-Haul. I had a terrible experience when they put it on. Anyhow, that did the trick and the backup lights work fine. It passed and was all good. I really like this place. Doug seems to care about his customers. He is the new guy in town and is trying to build up his customer base. Most places would have just failed me and put me on my way. Doug said from the beginning that he hates to fail people, even for something like this. He seems to care about his customers and will do everything he can, to make them happy. I have a feeling I'll be taking our main cars here from now on.

First to Review I was having electrical problems with my Jeep Cherokee. I decided to Do-it-Myself and change out the battery cables. It was an easy install, but after starting my Jeep I could tell there was something wrong. I couldn't pinpoint it and I'm not a mechanic anyhow. So I got referred to D&D from a friend of mine. I called them up and I was able to have it towed down. Doug calls me and says that I was a lucky guy. When I replaced the cables, I somehow crossed the connections. He checked to make sure I didn't need a new battery or altenator and didn't try and sell me on getting something that he said didn't seem to be a problem. Its good to know I have a place and someone I can trust for my Jeep. You should check his shop out and he has what seems to me reasonable prices. I'll definitely be going back.!
