I had an excellent experience at DTR in Cernre, New Jersey! Kyle and Lisa were incredibly accommodating and responded immediately when I had a problem. Their communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They diagnosed the issue quickly and had my car fixed in less than an hour! Fast, reliable, and honest service — I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive repairs!
Reviews don’t lie & neither did their service to provide great customer care and a smooth towing operation.
I initially called to inquire about towing my SUV from neighboring town to out of state town and spoke with Matt. That’s another story with Matt as we discussed initially regarding next morning towing but didn’t get the confirmation window.
I call around 7:30 AM the next morning and had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Kyle, to my surprise the SUV was already picked up by Alex at 7 AM (thanks Matt), who had arrived at the dealership before 7 AM. Alex was also wonderful as he completed the tow drop off service in the next hour or so and called to confirm.
I highly recommend all these outstanding DTR people who have a strong internal communication system and they provide exceptional customer care.
Big thank you to all parties involved, I got my SUV repaired and picked it up within 48 hours.
Everyone on the team is incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. Lisa is especially quick to reply, Kyle is very patient and takes the time to clearly explain each next step, and Derick is so willing to help. We really appreciate their support!
First class service once again!!! from the moment I called to make an appointment till when I picked up my car this afternoon! A big thank you to the whole DTR team!!!

To find a car repair place that is so honest, friendly, and helpful. They have even stayed late to help me more than once.
Finding an honest and dependable auto shop these days can be tough, but this place is a rare gem. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and truly cares about their customers. They have gone above and beyond for me many times over the years.
They gave me a fair estimate, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to upsell or pressure me into unnecessary repairs. The work was done on time, the quality was top-notch.
What really stood out was their integrity. It’s refreshing to work with people who take pride in what they do and stand behind their work.

Basically, DTR is a 100% legit service and I strongly recommend Kyle & his team.
I've used DTR twice now, both times when I needed cars towed from one location to another. Each time, Kyle showed up at exactly the scheduled time, with the right truck type and performed picture perfect tows with delicate cars. On top of that, he referred another owner of a car like mine to me and I ended up buying it! Thank you very much Kyle & team!
These guys are the best! I called last minute and they were able to fit me in even though they were fully booked. I can always rely on them and their honesty and expertise. I truly don’t go anywhere else.
I’ve been bringing my 2002 PT Cruiser to DTR for many years now. Service is fast, fairly priced and everyone there is so nice! I highly recommend DTR!!

Amazing place with amazing service. Matt was more than understanding of my financial situation and helped to ease my burden and Derek who fixed my car got it done speedily and within the same day. They were beyond helpful and experienced and the price was more than fair. Highly reccomend for any work that needs to be done. I could not have left more satisfied and happy.
Phenomenal job guys, thank you very much!
Had a nail stuck in my tire, was referred to DTR by a friend and they managed to get a brand new tire ordered for me the moment I called. It was delivered and replaced the next day in no time with a price much lower than most places would offer for such a service. Very grateful to them for being able to help so quickly, I recommend this place highly for their personable staff and their efficiency. Thanks for the help!
I've been with them for 3+ years (wish I found them sooner) and they are one of the very best in Bergen County. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and experienced. I mostly do annual oil change maintenance service with them on a 16 year old Volvo. I've gotten tires changed, wheel alignment adjusted and rear-view mirror replaced all at super competitive prices and done very quickly. They are very pleasant and friendly to deal with, your car is in good hands.
I am a service manager at a high-line new car dealer. In this area, I had nothing but nightmare experience's with other tow companies helping our customers. One day, another company said they couldn't tow a customer's vehicle out of the garage but DTR could. He was nice enough to even give me DTR's number.
Since then, we have only used Matt and DTR. Not only are the best at what they do, myself and all of my staff love their drivers. As someone in the business, I could not recommend them enough.
Been customer of DTR Service Center in Closter for years, although I hear they have been around for decades. Wonderful service, very fair prices, knowledgeable technicians and outstanding & friendly customer service, which is so rare these days! They work on my old car and my new model, so they’ve got you covered. They have always been very flexible about scheduling and I’m always glad to have my cars back on same day. They will take time to explain things and answer questions. Give them a try! You won’t be sorry.
Great team, professional mechanics and high quality customer service! Very happy to take my vehicles there for repairs and maintenance when needed. Thanks!
Attempted to be an at-home mechanic to hook up some lights and accessories. Learned the hard way that the engine bay in a bottomless abyss for small parts...
Couldn't even drive the truck out of the driveway because of the battery disconnected with no parts. DTR went above and beyond to tow, service, and replace the missing parts. The O'Brien family had my truck returned in less than a morning at last minute's notice. Fantastic service from a local shop.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Kyle at DTR, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth and easy.
First and foremost, Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about my car and able to diagnose the issue quickly. Not only that, but they were able to explain the problem to me in terms that I could understand, which I really appreciated.
Once we had a plan of action, the work was completed efficiently and effectively. DTR employees kept me informed throughout the entire process, letting me know what was happening every step of the way. They even went above and beyond to make sure that everything was working properly and that I was satisfied with the work that had been done.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at DTR . Kyle is an expert in their field and truly cares about their customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy and skilled mechanic. Thanks again, kyle and DTR employees!
