What clients say about Don's Auto in Sioux Falls (SD)
Always my first place to go. Over the years I have needed my vehicle looked at about 4 or 5 times and have always been honest and never overcharged for something they think it is
Such genuine and amazing people - I was stuck in traffic and one of the workers noticed I had a flat tire- he helped me pull into the shop where he filled my tire, patched the hole, and didn’t charge me. I couldn’t believe the generosity. Thank you guys again!
I had tires mounted and balanced, an alignment, and an oil change done for $180 in 3 hours. Absolutely stellar. I also had some squeaking/scraping I asked them to check out and it came back to me better, but still there. That is why I'm giving 4 stars; I'm not sure what the noise is/was nor what they did with it. I probably should have specifically asked. But I'm satisfied with the work I asked them to do and won't hesitate to go back
The most honest, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and timely auto repair shop in all of the Sioux empire area. I had to go through a handful of absolute CROOKS to find this gem but so grateful to have found this shop!
This will be my forever mechanic shop to go to! These guys are Awsome and the owner Don , so sweet I’ve never met an owner like him before he’s just Awsome love it .
Looking for a reasonable repair shop this place is it! I had to replace my 2018 chevy equinox water pump. on thursday i called they looked at my vehicle the same day and were able to get me in by Tuesday since Monday was a holiday and had it back by Wednesday evening. they didnt push for extra and only did as requested. as a single mom it was so reasonable and affordable, less than $500. i will definitely be making this my main shop for any issues in the future and recommended to all.
They are the best place to go.
Call, make an appointment, get your issue checked out.
Theyll be honest about what is a "now need" rather than tell you literally all the things that could possibly be a problem at some point with a 2000 dollar sheet of crap.
Dont get it twisted, IF you ask "hey, whats all that we can replace" theyll tell you, but they would rather fix the problem thats urgent than give you new ones.
Don's Auto has helped me and my family for at least a decade w/ knowledgeable, quality work done right every time. The service and pricing is honest and unmatched!
Got my Dodge Ram serviced here today, and let me tell ya, these gentlemen are great! Salt of the earth! Knowledgeable, friendly, fair, and work fast. 10/10 recommended!!!
Had a great experience at Don’s, they were quick, honest, and went above and beyond fixing a dent in my bumper at no additional cost. Would highly recommend!
2008 Chevy Malibu, acting up..we were sure Don's could solve our problems...and they did with integrity and honestly! Any car problems in the past and future...always to Don's Auto! Rich and Terri Lumley
By far the most honest decent mechanic you will ever find!!! This man deserves more than he knows thank you for being better and thank you I will be back and I speak highly of you!!
My family has been taking several generations of our well used cars to Don’s Auto for over forty years. They’ll always be honest and straightforward with what the issue is and are always fair with pricing. A gem of a repair shop in Sioux Falls!
Fred is the absolute best! Our car broke down by a dealership so we left it there to get an estimate. They told us we needed a new water pump $850. We took it to Don’s who we have used for years and after inspection it just needed coolant! Thanks so much Fred!! It’s so wonderful to have someone to trust in the industry!
Knowledgeable guys that don't pressure services on you. I had my car break down a block away and thought she was done for, but one of the guys checked it out and diagnosed the problem in seconds as a mere EGR vacuum leak. Since they were rather busy and I had the means to do it I just fixed myself. If it weren't for them I might still be scratching my head or have sold the thing for scrap metal price. Although I did see someone pull in that was in a bind with leaking coolant who they were helping, I'd say a person would want to book well ahead with if they want work done, as they have a lot going on-which I'd say is a sign of good work/rep.
