I will never bring my vehicle there again, they charge me over 200 dollars to fix bk lights , and when I left it still wasn't working, I called to see why it wasn't working .. Oh we couldn't get it fix..WHY IN THE HELL YALL DIDN'T LET ME KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG OR GIVE A REFUND..But they kept my money,
And let me leave and didn't say or explain why they charged so high and couldn't get the work done..
Had valve cover gaskets and tie rod ends replaced, as well as a couple other things. They did a very thorough check of my vehicle and only fixed what was needed! Don is an honest, thorough, and talented mechanic and I could tell that immediately. Would recommend him to anyone!
Southern Fried Recommendation for Don’s Car Care & Tire Center
Well, bless Don’s Car Care & Tire Center in Opelousas, Louisiana—where honest service and Southern hospitality still mean something.
Y’all, I was rollin’ through God’s country (aka the backroads between Lake Charles and Savannah) when my passenger-side tire decided it’d had enough of this journey and started leakin’ air like a screen door on a submarine. Now, I’ve got enough mechanical know-how to be dangerous, but even I know when to holler for help. That’s when Providence—or maybe the good Lord who takes pity on city-slicker tires—guided me right into Don’s Car Care & Tire Center.
From the moment I pulled in, it was like walkin’ into a family reunion where everybody actually likes each other. The manager didn’t just nod and point to a chair; he listened like I was tellin’ him the secret to perfect gumbo. The lady in the office had a smile that could’ve powered Opelousas for a week, and the service crew? Well, let’s just say they handled my pitiful tire with the kind of care usually reserved for Grandma’s china.
They patched me up quicker than a Cajun can say "laissez les bons temps rouler," and sent me on my way with a firm handshake and enough peace of mind to make the rest of the trip smooth sailin’. No upsell, no drama—just good folks doin’ good work.
So if you’re ever crawlin’ through Opelousas with a tire flatter than a week-old cola, do yourself a favor: swing by Don’s. They’ll fix you up right, treat you like kin, and remind you that decent service ain’t dead—it’s just hiding in Louisiana, where they still know how to do things proper.
Five stars, two thumbs up, and a firm "thank ya kindly" from this grateful Georgia boy.

I was traveling from Texas and passing through town when my jeep decided the brakes needed to break! I walked through the door and was met by a very nice gentleman. I was panicking as this was not in the plan on my vacation! He was so kind and understanding! As I was checking out, I found out the kind man who greeted me when i walked in was the owner.He couldn't have been nicer to me and I am so grateful he is one of the kind people in this world! Thank you so much! God bless you! I will never forget your kindness!
I have been needing a new inspection sticker BAD! Another company just looked at it and said my tint was too dark without checking it. I knew it wasn't. I saw that Don's was an inspection sticker vendor so I pulled in. They were very quick and attentive and got me taken care of in no time. I am so happy that their business is the one that I happened to walk into! It really made my day to just walk in to a friendly attitude and smiling face, as well as being professional. Thanks for helping me out!
Don’s Car Care is a real friendly customer oriented business. Offering a large variety of services around your car needs. Explaining to you what needs to be done. Several times I needed something done immediately (battery trouble a day before my scheduled drive from Louisiana to New York - not a trip where you would like to have a battery failure).
Detailed, reasonable, bill explaining things done. Brought me home and picked me up when they needed to keep the car for overnight.
Using them for years and never had problems. Thank you for your work. Juergen Amling
From the moment I entered Don's Car Care they made me feel like family. Having auto problems is already stressful but they explain everything in detail to you. If & when u are in need of auto repair make Don's your go to place. You'll be a satisfied customer.
Very courteous, professional and helpful ladies at the front desk was able to get me seen without notice. Fixed me up right away and was able to continue my road trip. Thank you so much.
Today was one of those days you dread. 100 degrees outside, 30 miles from home, husband works 50 miles from location of incident. I was serving a store that I sell to and as I go to leave my battery was dead. Called the hubby to get things in motion. Long story short the customer service was amazing and very through. Everyone was so kind and helpful in this crazy moment. I appreciate the service.
They were very professional and honest about the work and prices. The front desk worker ( I believe her name was Jessica) was busy but was always had something friendly and nice to say. Lobby was comfortable to wait in also.
Great service with awesome personal. Gives you the best service and the respect that a customer expects. I personally recommend this business to anyone.
A business that makes you feel comfortable about what you need done.very professional and on point with their analysis of your problem. The front staff is nice,polite and knows her job.If there's something she don't know she will find out what you need to know. Thumbs up 👍.
Have been going to Don’s for years and had all the services I checked done. Aside from his garage being the cleanest I’ve ever seen, and everyone is super nice, the mechanics are all competent and talented. Also, very importantly,, Don’s will not rip you off by telling you that something needs to be done that doesn’t. Highly recommended.
I just needed my car inspection and most other place did not have the stickers yet. The gentleman that helped me there was very nice and efficient. He did not waste any time getting what I needed done.
ATTENTION!! DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR OVER THERE!! They are a bunch of crooks trying to get money out of you. They tried to say that my car needed 2 brand new back tires plus they added some hidden fees and the whole service was going to be almost $500. I went to another place and nothing was wrong with one of my tires! Only one tire had a nail in it and I got it patched for 10 dollars, that’s it! They was trying to charge me almost $500 dollars for just a $10 service! If you go to this place they will try to over charge you for the simplest of services.
Went in looking for tires and the guys took care of me. Found me some Bridgestone tires at a dang good price. I highly recommend them to anyone shopping for tires.
After using multiple auto repair facilities I thought I would give Don's a try based on a solid recommendation. A thorough diagnostic test was completed and the repairs were done in a professional manner.The owner worked really hard to get the problem fixed. Highly Recommended.!
Only gave a star to comment PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE THERE unless it's an oil change! I am a very respectful woman and I have never spoke negatively about someones business publicly but We paid 1200+ and our vehicle is still not running and it has been a month and I still dont have my vehicle! I am a mother of 6 couldn't go to work doctor's appointment or things for my children, He over charged us and is very unprofessional he brought my truck to sterling & now blaming sterling and sterling blaming him he's a liar talks a real good game and acts concerned but BEWARE! I HAD 2 jobs I loss one due to no transportation! I have loss out on alot of money and we won't even mention the emotional aspect of sitting in the house for a month losing money and calling people for rides!
