I have been taking my car to Del Ray Service Center for many years, and I can’t say enough good things about them. They are always upfront, honest, and incredibly efficient. Recently, my car broke down and had to be towed to the garage. Sam handled everything and was absolutely brilliant. He kept me updated every step of the way and gave me a very reasonable price—it would have been significantly more expensive at a dealership. Even when the car had an issue while he was test-driving it, he was completely transparent and fixed it without any hidden costs. He was so humble about it, simply saying, "It’s my job." If you need a reputable garage, Del Ray Service Center is the place to go, and Sam is your man! Bonus: There’s a great cafe right across the road to hang out in while you wait.

I had one of the worst experiences with this inspection company. The inspectors were extremely unprofessional, rude, and even racist in their behavior and remarks. On top of that, I felt completely taken advantage of because I am a woman. They quoted me a ridiculously high price to “fix” issues just so my car could pass, making it clear they were trying to exploit me. I decided to get a second opinion elsewhere, and my car passed inspection the same day with no problems at all. That just proves how dishonest and unfair this place really is. No customer should ever be treated with racism, sexism, or scammed with inflated prices. If you value respect, fairness, and honesty, avoid this company at all costs.

He failed my car inspection and tried to get me to pay $400 to fix it. I took my car to another mechanic for a second opinion, and it passed.

Fantastic shop. The owner, Sam the service manager and all of the employees are first rate. Very knowledgeable and have been able to fix both our expedition and jeep wrangler. The jeep had MANY issues when I brought it in and they were able to correct all of them. I highly recommend Del Ray Service Center for all of your car/truck repair needs. -Jon M
