Very friendly service, they definitely go the extra mile for the customer. I would highly recommend them for all your garage work and used vehicles.

3 weeks ago I spoke with a young man who told me he would chare me 50 to diagnose an issue and then today it went up to 95 then he denied ever saying 50. Also tried to tell me 1 strut and 1 shock would cost over 800 before tax when the parts are under 200 together and each instal takes about 1 hr when ur experienced and if your not good at what u do it can take 2 hrs per part that'd 2 to 4 hrs but he wants to charge 6 hrs for labor If ur female just have a man call for you because they think were stupid and will pay whatever they claim and yet they completely forget the conversations u just had a couple weeks prior which was half the cost as well but then my parts weren't broke and today everything doubled all because my part was broke they thought I was desperate I guess. So never tell them anything is broke or it will be more like it just happened with me. When he gave me the quote this time as soon as he said over 800 before tax I didnt even say it was only 400 3 weeks ago I just said oh no and hung up. He denied ever talking to me when I confronted him about the diagnose fee going from 50 to 95 he denied it and said I must have talked to another shop when I have the proof in my phone we spoke for 5 mins amd 59 seconds Oct 20th and he still denied it i added the proof in the pic , So this owner is a very shady dishonest person so if ur a woman call and get a quote and then a week later have a man call and get that exact same quote and see what happens. He may not do it anymore now that ive made it know in this review but guarantee he slips up eventually. ALSO SOME REVIEWS ARE NOT TRUE CUSTOMERS THEY ARE FRIENDS/FAMILY GO FIGURE UPDATE FOUND ANOTHER REVIEW WHERE THEY DID TO ME TO SOMEONE ELSE. ALSO OCTOBER 20TH I CALLED ABOUT HAVING AN ELECTRIC ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO IT AND YET THEY TOLD MWN WHO ASKED THAT THEY DONT DIAGNOSE ELECTRIC ISSUES WHICH IS PROOF THEY WAS GONNA SCAM ME FOR SOMETHING THEY DONT EVEN DO. LOOK INTO THE BBB AND OTHER SITES FOR REVIEWS ALSO HAVE TAKE PICS OF UR PARTS UR HAVING REPLACEMED THIS WAY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG OR SOMETHING U HAVE PROOF IF IT WAS ACTUALLY DONE OR NOT . TAKE PICS OF DROPPING IT OFF AND OF THE PARTS UR HAVONG CHANGED AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT PIC UP. MAKE SURE UR NOT GETTING RIPPED OFF.

Got me in on a saturday for a balljoint, got me out a few hours later. Ali is a good mechanic!

We brought our company car into DJ Auto on short notice for a very unique repair involving an anemometer head replacement – not something you see every day. Another local shop had refused to read the manual for this job and ended up damaging some of the wiring, causing extra delays in getting the car work-ready. DJ Auto was the complete opposite. They took the car in right away, worked with my boss’s specific requests without any pushback, and made sure to answer all of our questions thoroughly. The owner made sure he fully understood each step before performing the replacement, and he also replaced the damaged cable caused by the previous shop. The entire process was quick – I was in and out within 30 minutes – and the price was extremely fair for the level of care and expertise provided. Everyone there was kind, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend DJ Auto for any repair needs, especially if you’re looking for honest service and a team that actually takes the time to do things right.

DJ Auto Repair is hands-down the best auto repair shop I’ve ever worked with. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the issues clearly, and gave me honest recommendations without trying to upsell unnecessary services. They diagnosed the problem quickly and had my car fixed faster than I expected. The pricing was fair and transparent—no hidden fees or surprises. It’s rare to find a shop that combines great technical skill with excellent customer service, but DJ Auto Repair does exactly that. What really stood out to me was their integrity. You can tell they genuinely care about doing right by their customers. Whether it’s a small fix or a major repair, I trust them completely and won’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend DJ Auto Repair to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and high-quality automotive service!

Absolutely fantastic experience at Dj Auto Repair! My car was making a strange noise, and they quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. Professional, honest, and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend!

I brought my car in to be diagnosed for rough idling. (I want to say the man's name was Ali) was responsive from the START. The pricing for the repairs were cheap, he was very informative and detailed about what was wrong with my car and instructed me how to maintain the life of the car. I felt as if I were a student when he showed me my broken parts on a spare engine. I highly recommend coming here if you guys need your car repaired. It will be done efficiently and timely!

This is one of the best shops in Dayton. The people are very honest. I was able to get my car in and out in a timely manner. I highly suggest this auto shop to anyone who needs car work done.

Amazing Staff! Very helpful. Really care about being thorough and solving problems with the car rather than milking the problem for money. I have been looking for a mechanic in the area and i can say that this shop is a blessing! I have included some of his work in pictures before and after ( cleaned the throttle body ).

Nyaz, his father, and the entire team at DJ Repairs did an outstanding job helping me with my car troubles. Nyaz took the time to clearly explain everything and was very thorough and informative throughout the process. They quickly identified and fixed the issue, and had me back on the road in no time. I truly appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and care. I won’t take my car anywhere else—thank you, DJ Repairs!

Very good service, they were fast and efficient, they were able to get my car done same day. Very kind people. Definitely will be going to them with all my car troubles. Thanks

I had an amazing experience with DJ Auto Repair! They were super friendly, professional, and got the job done in a flash. The price was also reasonable, and I felt totally confident in their skills. I highly recommend them!

I’ve had my car running like new for 12 years. But I was on my way to Dayton when the engine light started flashing at me. I called this shop to see if they could get me in last-minute. They fixed the engine misfire, took it for a test drive, and noticed other issues. They sent me a video of how bad my front right axle was, and motor mounts that were falling apart. Ali said, “Your axle was holding on by a prayer.” This auto repair shop practically saved my life. I take great care of my car, so I was so surprised to hear this. If I hit the wrong bump, my front right tire would have popped off. And this would have happened on the highway more than likely when I would have driven it home. If it wasn’t for these guys, I may not be here today. My car could have flipped with that bent axle and I could have been a goner. I cannot recommend these gentlemen enough. They take care of their customers.

If you have an older car; chances are they won't help you. I called in about my '96 Caddy, I had a few issues that weren't engine related. The man on the phone asked "Does that have a Northstar?" I replied yes, and he very rudely told me to take my business elsewhere. I needed some shocks fixed and an O2 sensor, but they just flat out refused to work with me. Very rude people.

Fantastic experience at DJ auto repair. I noticed a flap loose at the bottom of the car wanted to get it checked out and DJ auto repair was the only place open on Saturday. No appointment I stopped by and was helped immediately. In 20 minutes they found a creative solution to what could’ve been a big problem down the line that could have risked damage to the hybrid engine. I will definitely be back for any future car troubles

Everyone else I called quoted me twice the price and I was going to have to wait 3 days to get my car looked at. They got me in the same day at a great price. I plan to go to Djs anytime I have a car issue. Update: ended up being electric issue on a car I got 3 months ago. Ali was so kind and fixed my car for a fraction of what I would have had to pay somewhere else. He gave me super useful information too. Great guy.

I had good experience with DJ Auto repair. I had missed fire issue with my car, I took it to few other shops and they weren’t sure to figure it out. However, DJ were able to diagnose the vehicle accurately, and I was charged with reasonable price. I would recommend it to everyone.

DJ Auto is incredibly professional and genuinely cares about its customers . I've been there several times, and each time I do, they diagnose the issue and explain everything in simple language they way you can understand. And if the problem is resolved, you won't need to return because their work is excellent and reasonably priced. You should definitely go; you won't regret it. They are also extremely kind

Excellent job and fair price. Their smile makes you comfortable and welcomed. The dad's experience in automotive puts them over the top. I enjoyed having them take care of my vehicle and will recommend them all the time.

This is by far the best auto mechanic shop in the Dayton area! The owner Ali is very professional and helpful. Also, he is very honest and you can trust him with your car. The prices are reasonable and the result is always good. I recommend this place if you are looking for quality and honesty

The Owner Ali and his Father had me in and out in no time to replace my brakes, no appointment needed! They were both super nice and very professional and to boot the price was $250 cheaper than what the local Goodyear quoted me for! All in all I was very happy with the service and will continue to go back and support them whenever possible in the future. Thanks Ali!

Ali is the best most knowledgeable mechanic I have ever met, not to mention he is also kind, professional, and does his best to accommodate my needs. I needed a new side view mirror on my daughter's car. Ali called and retrieved a mirror from a Cincinnati junkyard and replaced the mirror before 12 noon. Then I had to go him again for a different issue. The dodge dealership said it would take a week and $2,000 to repair my heat. Ali diagnosed and fixed it in less than 2 hours. Months later still working fine. He charged me 100. He is my mechanic forever for every car.

DJ auto repair does quality work for fair prices. This family owned and operated repair shop politely and professionally serves a diverse clientele in the heart of north Dayton. Nyaz did an excellent job with my breaks and explained everything I needed to know. They also gave me an estimate up front before we got started. Skip the rest, go straight to the best at DJ Auto repair.

When I say the mechanics in here are so skilled! I got my Kia about a year ago. This shop is the only shop I go-to for everything. They are very kind and informative going through the entire process. They do full diagnostics that come free when you use them for their services. If you get a diagnosis, it’s still very reasonable. From start to finish, they will communicate with you. DJ’s Auto is about the best shop I’ve been to. This shop is worth every penny you spend with them. Anything significant they can do and take their time to do it right. I’ve never had to go back for a repeat job, and they fix it right the first time around. The owners are very down to earth. Keep in mind, they brought the business from someone else and turned it all around. If you have questions, he’ll check it out and look it over. Some of the best of the best for the Gem City!
