We were coming up to Door County and we had a problem with one of the rear wheel hubs. We called John on Monday morning, and he said he could get at it Tuesday. We brought the car to him on Monday afternoon, and he had it repaired by Tuesday evening. He is a very honest person, and we felt like he truly wanted to help us. I wish he was in our home town!
John at Denil Auto & Trucking was a savior on my family's trip. Had drywall screw in the the rear driver's side tire. He's the only place in Door County that's available on weekends. Quick, easy, cheap and the yellow lab inside was a plus. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a plugged!
OMG. John is incredible! At the end of our 5-day trip to Door County (celebrating our 40th anniversary) we discovered that the skid plate on our Ford Edge was hanging down VERY low, hovering about 2” above the ground. Since we were 350 miles from home, and it was a SATURDAY, we had little hope of finding a service place that would be able to help us out. Denil’s Auto was highly recommended to us, and we can see why his business receives such high reviews! He repaired the issue and had us back on the road within 20 minutes (even though he was obviously busy servicing other cars!!) He charged us a very reasonable fee, and we were just so very grateful to him. Thanks so much, John!!
We were traveling to Door County for the weekend. We had some tire and brake trouble and the owner took us in and had us fixed up and on the road in 1.5 hours. He helped us out, knew what he was doing, and educated us on what was wrong. Great place and great mechanics!
John is a life saver! My hubby and I were in Door County for a long weekend when we started having car troubles that Saturday, four and a half hours away from home!! We called the shop and he was able to look at our car Sunday morning. He found out it was a battery issue and after Auto Zone wasn't willing to put the battery in that we bought, John dropped what he was doing and helped us out. On a Sunday!! On top of that he only wanted to charge us $20. Honest guy and went above and beyond to explain everything to us and fixed the issue quickly. We honestly didn't think we were going to be able to make it home for work the next day, we are super grateful!!! Wonderful experience.
Denil Auto & Trucking was extremely helpful during a crisis. I was on a vacation and got a flat tire and the shop evaluated my tire and was super helpful. They stayed open later to accommodate me and my group.
Our transmission failed while staying in Sturgeon Bay for vacation. We dropped the car off Saturday afternoon and Denil was able to look at the car by early Sunday afternoon. He clearly explained what was happening to the car and gave us recommendations of places that could help us further with the transmission issue. Denil was great to work with during a very stressful time - I highly recommend him!
While camping in Door County we found a screw in the tire of our truck. It was around 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning and the owner (thankfully) answered and offered to fix it. He was a lifesaver as we felt helpless being out of town and it being a Sunday morning (all other shops in the area were closed until Monday). He repaired the tire so we could get home safely with the camper. He was upfront about the options and was extremely cost effective, given the circumstances. We greatly appreciated the assistance and would recommend this shop to all Door County vacationers if any vehicle issues were to arise.
We were in Door County for less than a day on a Saturday and our truck was gushing fluid from under the front. We called Denil and he said he could look at it on Sunday and gave a number to a towing company who got to us in about an hour. The next day he called and had already finished the temporary repair.
He told us we should call the dealer ahead of time to have the parts ready for when we got back. This turned out to be great advice! He took the time to answer all our questions about hauling our travel trailer home back to the Milwaukee area. He explained how we could safely make the trip. We were able to enjoy the rest of our trip because he got it done so quickly. Great service!
John and his team are Life Savers! my family and I were on a trip in door county camping for our last day when our car broke down on a Saturday after 5 pm. First place we called was Denil and not only did John pick up, he gave us a name and number for a tow truck to get it to his shop. Within a couple hours he got our car back working and was very reasonable in price. We are so thankful for people and companies like this. Highly recommended! Thanks again John for your help!
The alternator on my Durango died while on vacation in door county. I was able to get my vehicle to Denil's Auto and John was able to get a new alternator for my vehicle pretty quickly. While fixing it he found a couple pulleys and the belt were also not in good shape and the battery was dead and wouldn't hold a charge. He fixed all of it in a couple of days and got my family back to enjoying our vacation. I can't thank him enough for the quick work and making sure everything was fixed.
Best place around! John (owner) is friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and honest. Wouldn’t go anywhere else…highly recommended!

Called a few different times during the span of q few days before and after 6pm, no answer. From out of state and no place was open. We saw this was open 24 hrs but after visiting twice it was clear they were not. They had no other hours posted.
Man, we are so grateful for Denil Auto! He was able to get us an alternator and install within hours on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for your great customer service!!
While on vacation our wheel bearing completely locked up. We were worried about this being an expensive repair since we would have to take it somewhere unfamiliar. We were pleasantly surprised after taking our car here, he was able to fix it quickly and was very fair with the pricing. You can feel safe taking your car here, highly recommend.
Grateful that John was open on the weekend given our alternator decided to give out on a camping trip. He replaced it for us on a Saturday afternoon/early evening in short order and were back to our vacation. Thanks, John, for the excellent service and good work!
Busted a brake hose while on a getaway. Of course most service places were booked solid for several days/weeks. He was able to squeeze me in, find parts, and repair it quickly!! Awesome job, very grateful, and reasonably priced!! Highly recommended!!
This October we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary in Door County. After a fun Saturday morning bike ride and visit to Sister Bay, we came back to a car with a dead battery. We called several auto places, and nobody was either open or willing to help out. A nice couple stopped and gave our battery a jump, and we were able to make our way back down to Sturgeon Bay where we were staying. We went to Autozone to buy a new battery, and they said the only shop that might help change it was Denil Auto, so we called there. It was now late saturday afternoon, but the owner at Denil said to bring car by, and he would try to get to it before end of day. We took the car to Denil, who was already busy with other auto repairs,. After a short wait, they found time to install new battery in our car, and saved our Anniversary Weekend! We never got the owners name, but many thanks to him for his willingness to help! The next day in his honor, we cheered for the Green Bay Packers!

We’re from St. Louis, MO and on an extended weekend trip our check tire pressure light went on in our Dodge Promaster van on Saturday night. Looked up tire repair and they were all closed except this place. Went at 10:30am Sunday and the gentleman was extremely nice and helpful. Turns out two tires were slightly off (as happens from time to time) and the vehicle computer kicked in. He checked and filled all tires (back ones take 80 lbs and you can’t fill them at most gas stations). I tried to pay him and he refused. I definitely recommend!!!
We were 300? miles from home and got a flat. After putting the spare on we needed the tire repaired. Not only were these guys open on Saturday (not common in Door County) but they fixed it fast and cheap! They also have a cute dog named Capone to keep you company while you wait.
Came up to Door county for a trip ended up losing break fluid. Of course it had to be on a Saturday. After calling multiple places that were open we found Denil. He put it up and looked at it right away. 20 minutes later he was telling us how he fixed it and how we can get home safely! 100% recommend him over anyone!!!
Didn't catch his name, but the guy that helped me was absolutely fantastic. He didn't have the part I needed, but he got me hooked up, fixed my tire, and we were on our way. 100% reccomend. Handsome big junk yard dog, too.
Denil helped out when the alternator suddenly failed on Labor Day. Nowhere else to go. We pulled in and hoped someone was there...and they were. They took care of us and 3 hours later we were back on the road! Thank you Denil!
Best towing company I have ever dealt with! My wife and I were stranded 175 miles from home. These guys went FAR above expectations and helped us eventually get home safely. Highly recommended!
Flat tire due to a nail... 4th of July... Jay, and his great dog, Al Capone, fixed it!!! I think he came from a 4th of July party to do it!! Wonderful service!!!
