RPM Automotive in
Dover (DE)

This place did great work had my vehicle turned around in less than 2 days completely replacing all rear brake lines that were rusted out for a better price than anywhere around. First time with them but it was a great experience.

The owner will argue with me after posting this like he did when they messed up my stuff and blamed me buttttt don’t even go here. For one they over price you and for two I gave them a new steering wheel to replace my old one, they did a diagnostics on my car with out consulting me, they had my hood open when it didn’t need to be. There was no cosmetic issues on my steering wheel and when I came to pick up my car there was multiple cosmetic issues on the new steering wheel. Let alone they told me to bring it by and it would take an hour… yea it took three after they never got to my car went on their one hour lunch break and when I called them he said oh well they went on their lunch break. I get it yall need your breaks but don’t sit here make me bring my car hella early for yall to do that. On top of that the owner kept arguing with me blaming me and let me say I should not be able to smell when you don’t shower. Never again will I come here. My wheel was never from a junk yard lol oh and there was never a homeless person. The guy that smelled like old sitting out fish was the owner ? this is what I mean by he’ll sit here and lie to make himself not look bad and as I’ve stated every one takes a lunch break but don’t tell me to come in early as he’ll tell me my car will be done in an hour. Not inform me that their going to take a lunch break and have my car sitting there for hours. How dare I drop it off at 9:30 am and they took their lunch at 12:30. Yea ok dropping it off 10 minutes before their lunch ? love the lies

Brought in an older GMC Envoy for a water pump replacement. RPM made the repairs in a timely manner and the price was fair. Only issue was the fee it charged to use a card for payment. If I had known, I could have used Zelle or written a check.

RPM was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm glad he did. Chris told me exactly what the car needed, how long it would take and gave me an estimate. RPM has a customer for life!!!!!!

Highly Recommend if you want the job done right! My vehicle needed some major repairs and I chose RPM Automotive because of their reputation. I was a little hesitant due to their labor rate but the overall price was very reasonable. They completed all of the work quickly and I went through inspection with no issues. My vehicle is running amazingly and I’m so glad I chose this shop. The owner Chris is knowledgeable, friendly and doesn’t cut corners on his work. He called me for approval on each repair and to give updates. He used quality parts and didnt overcharge on the labor hours. I’m so glad I found this mechanic shop. I thank you for all of your generosity and for making the process less stressful for me. I look forward to seeing you guys for my regular oil changes and maintenance!

Mr. Chris, is amazing!! When, I tell you he made me feel welcome and updated me on everything that he was going to do with my SUV. He’s not like other shops that seen a women in distress and wants to take advantage. He was very patient with me and honest. He has my car running like a champ. I’m definitely recommending him and his company every time and his prices are reasonable and they work fast!!

my car broke down due to a crack leaking coolant, was able to bring my car in the next day to get an exam done to see what exactly was wrong with it and 2 hours later they called with the problem, gave an estimate on how much it would be for them to fix it and they got it done the same day. my car has been running amazing

Chris is awesome. 10/10 best shop with the best experience. Got me in and out in less than 1 day when the dealer gave me over 3 weeks without my car! Blessings in disguise. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Service is great , respectful of you and your time. Would definitely go back just wished he could have fixed my car issue. It wasn’t his fault it needs special attention for my Mercedes-Benz. But Chris Is Great !

Thank you Chris for the excellent service. You were able to diagnose and fix the problem with my headlights, in a timely manner. I will continue to bring my vehicles to your shop for service.

I love this shop I know it was a pain in the butt to fix but Chris was great.. friendly and awsome.. I’m so happy you guys rock thank you for fixi my baby my car. I’m disabled Tuva wheelchair for now so, any kind of freedom means a lot to me.. I recommend anyone looking for a great mechanic in Dover come here for real. Thanks agin Chris

I was on lunch break and noticed my break lights wouldn't go off on my vehicle. I went right to RPM. They knew I was on break and ordered the part right away and my vehicle was done in 15 mins. Great service. Great people! Definitely recommend this business!

Not only do they do fast work, Chris is extremely nice! My car was basically in mass organ failure (100% my fault), but the price was reasonable for all they had to do! Also, the shop smells like new car and cinnamon lol.

Absolute Lifesavers! My boyfriend's powersteering pump basically exploded on our road trip and they spent as much time as it took to make sure the job was done as thoroughly as possible. They even stayed late after checking the truck over and fixed a bearing problem in the wheel we didn't even know we had! 10/10 stars, will certainly return if we ever have car issues in Delaware ever again.

RPM has been an excellent place to get my autos service. Always does a great job at a fair price. My whole family uses RPM. They know their stuff and give you an honest report on what’s going on with your car.

I am a recent transplant to the Dover area and was in search of a reputable car service center. Chris was very professional, upfront and answered all my questions. The service was prompt and completed as promised. I am fully satisfied with the service provided. RPM will definitely be at the top of my list for future repairs.

I wouldn't touch this place with a ten foot pole. Last year I had my car towed to RPM because I thought my alternator had died at the time. My mechanic Grant informed me that he tested the battery and it was fine, but the transmission was dead. He told me he would put in an aftermarket alternator that would work great with the car and that it would save me some money. I agreed, trusting his expertise. Exactly one week later, my car died AGAIN when I stopped at the gas station on the way to work. I called RPM and they asked me to bring it back in. When I got the car back a few days later, every indicator was flashing on the dash. Even though the car miraculously ran, the car would hesitate when cranking, which scared me into thinking the car would die again. I decided that I did not want to bring the car back a third time, as I had already missed time at work. I called the Honda dealership. My Honda technician David Root informed me that aftermarket alternators would interfere with the electrical systems in the car, and only an OEM one could be used. He told me that my battery was dead, and that it was extremely unlikely that the alternator and battery would have died at the same time. I also came to find out after Honda inspected the vehicle that RPM stripped the tensioning bolt on my alternator, and I know it was them because I never had the alternator replaced prior to this incident. RPM lied to me so that they could scam me into a more expensive repair. Because of them, I was out over 3000 dollars for what should have been a 200-300 dollar repair and missed multiple days at work. I had to pay for a new battery and alternator at the dealership because of RPM. After I tried to chargeback the repair on my credit card, Grant called me from an unknown number so that he could harass me into giving the alternator back. I cannot forgive them for what they did to me and I suggest you avoid this chop shop at all costs!

This place is certainly God sent. In every aspect of professionalism and making sure the customer came first if I could give them more than five stars I would. The customer service was grade A. Not only will I continue to use this shop for our church vehicles but also myself and my family's personal vehicles. They are very knowledgeable of any situation that's presented I am so thankful that I found out about this place. Even with them being severely backed up they squeezed our church van in to make sure it was finished before Sunday pickups even at the bringing it in I believe on a Tuesday. Thank you so much RPM.

Chris was absolutely fantastic! He had my truck gone over, called w/the results & pricing. We worked well together, and I am a truly happy camper...lol. I'm a bit of a "motor head" and do all my own general maintenance. Chris was absolutely up front w/no games...no excessive and/or trumped up charged = he's a true gem in this field!!!

Highly Recommended! Waited a few weeks to post this review, repairs have held up great and Im very happy. Chris @ RPM replaced my front axles and transfer case in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Performance is great and she runs like new again. Price was better than what the dealer quoted. They accommodated my busy schedule as well which was really nice of them.

I was very happy with my services at RPM automotive. My brake line rusted out and they got me in and out in less than 48 hours. Chris has excellent customer services and there were no hidden fees. They also use quality parts and materials. I will definitely return for my next car repair!

These guys are the best! Driving home from vacation with a car in need of service, found RPM online and called for help. They fit us in and fixed our car on the fly in about 10 minutes. Amazing service! Thank you Chris at RPM!!!

Owner was very helpful and honest. We will never trust our vehicles to anyone but, RPM. You get what you pay for. In us doing so the other shop may have been a bit cheaper but was not worth it in no means. Lesson learned. Thank you Chris and your team for going above and beyond for us.

I found my new mechanic!!!!!! Their prices are very fair! Was tired of getting ripped off at my last place and not even having the actual problem fixed that I came in for, but a whole bunch of other stuff, which I probably didn't need. They diagnosed the exact problem and fixed that and only that. I truly appreciate that in a mechanic! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be taking my car there from now on!

Chris and the others were polite and on time All the work was done quickly and I didn't miss anything. The work and parts were affordable and I knew I could stop back if I needed anything else. Even if I just needed air in my tires. Always explained everything until I understood. And he made me laugh when I thought I couldn't handle things Good mechanic. More than fair in pricing. Accommodating in my situation All around great guy and mechanic

Jonathan totally ripped me off my car is a total loss, yet they got over $700 dollars of repair work from me and I’m reporting them for fixing my car when I should of been told at the beginning my car was a total loss. I don’t know what I did to make them treat me this way!! But if anyone knows a good lawyer please let me know..I’m so upset and he knew I had to see my cancer doctors up north. I’m so upset..but thank you to the best shops who were honest to me and didn’t and wouldn’t take a dime of my money

this place I tell you 6/20/16 I thought it would be good to take my car here to get checked out boy was I wrong... the reviews was great that's why I took a chance. Chris Mclure was not honest with my car I wanted to get my side window checked out he charged a lot of money. He told me it would take an hour but only took 20 to check the window he called and said it would be $100 I was shocked. Pick the car up his people didn’t put the window back together until I told him to fix it claiming that it was off when I got to his shop. Which it wasn’t.. Very disappointed I must have caught him on a bad day I guess very unprofessional he didn’t even apologize. I will be getting my money back big guy ha! Also damaged my car handle!!!! This guy have a nerve to respond to my review with lies. Please stay away from the junk of a business please!! You will regret it.
